      Daeton’s Journey (Wiccan-Were-Bear Book Ten)

      By R. E. Butler

      After returning to her new home of Cholas in the Medes Realm, were-bear Daeton settles quickly into married life with her two sexy mates, Perseus and Ekho. When the arrival of her former were-bear protectors, Rysk and Tyrant, triggers a vision, Daeton and her husbands must prepare for danger from an unknown foe. Will Daeton and her mates survive the battle to come, or will they lose everything?

      This book contains two sexy males intent on keeping their mate safe forever, a silver-furred bear shifter with a big heart, danger from a new foe, rescues, reunions, growling, shifting, and plenty of love. Contains m/f/m interaction.

      Chapter One

      Daeton smiled as the sunlight glinted off of Ekho’s wedding band as he worked on their new home. Perseus, her other husband, had made the ring for Ekho so both of them could have wedding bands that matched hers. It was the first thing Perseus had done when they’d returned to Cholas from their long journey the month before, and she knew it meant the world to Ekho, too.

      During that month, Perseus and Ekho, along with every available Centaur, had been busy building their new home. They were staying with Perseus’s parents, Elektra and Cosmo, in the meantime. Daeton enjoyed staying at their home. Elektra was sweet and patient, and had started teaching her how to cook traditional Centaur meals. Because life in the Medes Realm was so rustic, Daeton had to learn how to cook without the help of modern technology. She couldn’t reheat food with the microwave, or run to the grocery store for a forgotten ingredient. The Centaurs lived off the land and traded goods in town. There were no cars or electric lights, no refrigerators or televisions. It had taken a while, but Daeton had grown to not miss those things. She’d lived her entire life in the underground den, in the Mortal Realm with her parents and their bear den, and although some might think that was rustic living, they’d had electricity and most modern conveniences. But now, Daeton didn’t really miss anything except her family.

      Perseus had surprised her the most over their journey, taking on a leadership role for their small family, but still including Ekho in all the decisions about their future. Perseus, a Centaur with a beautiful black horse body, was a natural leader and took being the head of their family seriously. Ekho, a leoneman with fur on the sides and back of his body and a long tail, had taken immediately to the role of caretaker instead, ensuring that everyone was happy and well cared for. Both of her husbands together made sure she could want for nothing, and she just hoped she could be an equally amazing wife to them. Even though she was only eighteen, she felt like she’d lived a hundred years since she entered the Medes Realm six weeks earlier.

      Draya and Fontaine, the two slave girls Daeton had rescued from the palace in the kingdom of Reio, were living in Perseus’s parents’ home as well, in one of the spare bedrooms. When Daeton and her mates moved into their own home, Elektra had promised the girls could stay with them until they were ready to live on their own. They were young, only fifteen and sixteen, and their bodies were slim and frail from lack of food and years of oppression. Cosmo, Perseus’s father, had been very clear to the Centaurs that they were to leave the girls alone, and Daeton knew that the Centaurs understood how fragile the girls were. As their caretaker, Daeton was in charge of making sure they were safe and happy. It wasn’t going to be easy, but she wanted them to enjoy their freedom and find their own happiness. Although the Centaurs might like to spend time with the girls once they were old enough, they wouldn’t marry them unless they shared mate-dreams, like the dreams that Perseus, Ekho, and she had shared for several months before her eighteenth birthday. The Centaurs in the Medes Realm did not even think of marrying until they dreamed about their bride and went to find her. Often, they traveled to the Mortal Realm to search for their brides, using a portal between the realms, which opened once a year in the Centaur territory in Canada.

      In fact, soon they would hopefully be on their way to Canada where she could contact her family and meet up with them. She knew that time moved differently in this realm, and the knowledge that her family would age at a faster rate than she would was strange and uncomfortable.

      "Daeton, would you like some lif juice?" Perri, a mate of one of the other Centaurs asked, coming to sit next to Daeton under a large shade tree as she watched the men working on their new home. In her lap was a vest she was embroidering with the symbols of her name along with those of her mates. When she went to visit her family, she wanted the three of them to have clothing that matched. This first vest, a dry run of sorts, was going to be hers.

      She put the needlework on the soft grass next to her and accepted the tall wooden tumbler of juice from Perri, who dropped down wearily next to Daeton, heavy with her first child. Centaurs were born in their half-shifted form, and the pregnancies lasted eleven months. At the ten-month mark, or sooner if the baby was particularly large, a midwife from the herd delivered the baby by C-section. If the pregnancy was allowed to progress all the way through, the baby would tear the mother apart from the inside out with its soft but deadly hooves. Although frightening in a way that human pregnancies, or even bear ones, weren’t, Daeton was still excited to carry a child for Perseus, as well as Ekho. She wasn’t sure what a half-were-bear, half-Centaur or leoneman would look like, whether he or she would be able to shift completely or not at all, but she knew their children would be well loved and cared for.

      She took a sip of the sweet juice that reminded her of peaches and grapes, as Perri fiddled with a thick blade of grass and rubbed her belly absently. Would you be willing to stand with me when I give birth tomorrow? Perri asked quietly, surprising Daeton with the request. Although all the women in the herd were friendly, Perri had become Daeton’s closest friend, but Daeton had expected Perri would ask another woman, one with more experience with Centaur births.

      Now she met Perri’s sky blue gaze and smiled. I’d be honored.

      Perri grinned and wiped at a stray tear. Dally said I shouldn’t ask you, because it might upset you so much you wouldn’t want a baby with Perseus, but I told him you were much stronger than that.

      Daeton thought she was right, at least in theory. She hadn’t seen a baby being born before, and this was a pretty primitive world. No nice, clean hospital to give birth in, or drugs to take away the pain. She looked over to where Perseus, in his half-form, was hauling a sled of wood toward their home, and smiled. No matter what, she knew she wouldn’t be able to keep her hands off her mates, regardless of how frightening the birth might be.

      Are you excited about tomorrow?

      Nervous, mostly. Dally wants me to rest now, but I just can’t. The baby keeps wiggling when I lay down and I end up feeling more miserable than when I’m up moving around. He’s just being overprotective, like husbands tend to be.

      Daeton nodded in agreement. Perri had one husband being overprotective; Daeton had two.

      When she finished her drink, she picked up her vest again and began to work on the symbol for Ekho’s name with
