Page 56 of Magic and Mayhem

I gently place each collar around their necks, kiss them after, and give each a tug. Their breaths quicken under my touch, and these men who can shift into mighty beasts become putty in my hands.

“Looks like I have a new well of power. Which one of my pets thinks they can please me enough to distract me from using it?”

Onyx and Ruhn growl deep in their throats, their shifts wanting to take over for them to assert their dominance. I quickly grab the whip and lash each of them on the back. Satisfaction rolls through me when they whine and bow their heads.

Pups are true submissives after all.

Chaos shifts partially, allowing his ears and horns to come out to play like he so often loves to do. His noseturns down in submission, and I reach out and scratch behind his ear before rubbing over the small horns near his forehead.

“Such a good boy for me, aren’t you?”

He nods his head adamantly, his tongue nearly lolling out of his mouth. Rogue’s jealousy morphs his face into its Jackal form, his glowing red eyes glaring at his brother.

“Ah ah,” I flick him on the nose. He tries to snap at me, but I grab his muzzle and clamp it shut. “Bad boys get to sit in the corner while others play. Is that what you want?”

A whine escapes him before he shifts his head back and bows his head so low that he can lean forward and kiss me on my spiked boots. I tussle his hair in reward when he sits back on his heels.

“So much better,” I praise. “We have to play nice, or we won’t play at all.”

He nods his head, his red-tipped strands falling in front of his face.

Their submission is beautiful. It's something I never knew I would enjoy but have come to love and appreciate deeply.

“Come on, boys, we should play before we start up phase two. After all, we have a special guest arriving soon.”

As if to make herself known, a bolt of lightning lights up the sky, visible through all of the tent roofs. Rogue and Onyx look at me in shock and Ruhn stands as Chaos’ eyes widen.

“Did you invite the Witch of Storms here?”

I shrug, patting him on the head. “We have a mission to complete, and she is going to help bring balance. You’ll see. This is only the beginning.”
