The Hunter and the hunted

[katalynn]

She doesn't know what pleasure is, she doesn't even know what was happening to her body as it came multiple times. Both mind and body were in shock and she couldn't gain control over the trembling because of it. His body heat became the only thing she can focus on, trying to get some heat back into her own body. When he asked if she was alright, her ears laid low and she curled up some as she relived what just happened.

"If Alpha is pleased... Then I am too..."

That's the only thing she knew, yet the tone of her voice seem small and weak and body language told a different story. She was cold and the shock didn't seem to be easing down while her tail curled up around her. There's not much she can say about the experience she went through, some of it did feel good and she didn't want it to end. And yet, it's the pain that consumed most of those thoughts.

When he spoke of other things, talking about the future together and making it sound as they have been together for years, her ear perked towards him for a second. She wondered if he's trying to ask for forgiveness, or he just simply hoped the wolves would accept him with open arms. Then wondered how to explain such things to him, wolves were much different than what she is, they run on pure primal instincts and need for survival. Thriving on their pack for many different things.

"It is not the pack that forgives.... It is their Alpha that decides.... The last wolf you took was being raised as next Alpha. You have taken half his pack over years... This Alpha is old, needs a new Alpha to take his place... It is his forgiveness that you seek..."

She didn't comment on the other things he spoke of considering if that is what he wishes, then that is what she will have to follow. The thought of learning how to be a human again made her curl up a little more, it's an idea she has never liked. After a few moments though, she finally asked the dreaded question that it gave her, afraid of the answer, knowing if it is what he wants, as his mate, she'll have little choice.

"Is... Is that what... you desire of me? To live like a human? To be like them?"

He can tell by the hint of fear in the tone that she honestly didn't like the idea. After all, humans were evil in her eyes and she isn't an evil being.

"I do not want to lose another pack or family to humans again....."

 

[anthilly]

As he listened to her talk, he could feel the chill filling the room, fighting the fire control of the air. Victor hoped that she was ok and that he hadn't hurt her too bad. When she spoke of pleasing him he wondered if that meant she hadn't enjoyed it or if it was simply uncertainty about the situation. She spoke of the Alpha, which filled him with a small bit of dread then she spoke of humans and losing another pack like humans were the most evil creatures in the world, maybe they were.

"So is the Alpha the forgiving type?"

Smiling and kissing her cheek as he shifted to talk to her.

"I don't want you to lose your wolf like I did, I can't imagine what it would be like to have then lose it. I feel complete with him. I do want you to experience some of the good parts of humanity, some of the towns and villages are beautiful, and I think chocolate would knock your fur off. I will do whatever I need to, to protect you and your pack from the humans here, maybe I can claim the land from the town as payment for my past services. I can dedicate it to the pack as a sanctuary, the humans wouldn't be able to hunt or come into the land. But we have time for all of that."

Kissing her neck he pulled her into his arms and held her there.

"Thank you, you brought back a part of me I never knew was lost. I can't ever repay you for that."

He cradled her in his arms, where their bares kin made contact electricity flowed between them, the heat radiating from the points of contact. He kissed her forehead, and stroked the back of his fingers along her cheek.

"I think tomorrow we can go out into the woods again, would you like to go for a run? I have all the new urges with the wolf, how do you get anything done during the day?"

He looked out the broken window, the storm was calming by morning it would be gone, and they would walk out onto the pristine snow and walk their new path, side by side.

 

[katalynn]

Kynthia laid next to him in silence for a few moments calming down and feeding off his warmth. The more he spoke and she listened, she started to realize that he has changed somehow. She thought for sure that he would be freaked out by all this, perhaps even less caring about her and resent her. Yet, he has accepted this change far more easily than she expected and keeps talking of the future as mates. She thought about his question of the alpha from the pack she's been running with. The answer didn't come all that easy to her as she rolled over to face him and looked into his eyes to see the changes within them. He didn't seem at all like the hunter she's been pestering all these years, he's more calm at peace.

"I.... I do not know how to answer question. What would mate do if you were him? He can forgive yes, yet after what has been done. I do not know, I am sorry."

She looked away almost expecting him to be upset with her answer, even though she truly didn't know how the alpha will respond. After all, this human did hunt down half his pack among others in the area, something like that would be tough for any creature to forgive. Then seeing he is a wolf himself, another wolf killing other wolves without cause makes things a bit tougher. These random thoughts rushed in like a tidal wave, suddenly forcing her back into the reality of things. The main thing of mating a hunter that kills wolves. He has promised to not hunt anymore though and yet she couldn't stop the sudden flow of questions.

"Why me? Why choose me to be mate? Why did you hunt wolves? Why do you not hate me? Is this all some kind....."

She couldn't finish the million questions that pounded in her head and just before hiding her face against his chest, he can see the confusion ripping her apart. There's a moment when it appeared as if she would break down and let the emotions consume her. However, she managed to keep it together and kept her face hidden in fear that she had said something wrong, reminding herself it isn't her place to question an alpha.

She took a moment to calm the racing thoughts and questions, trying to focus on the other things he had said, either making promises or setting a trap. It didn't feel like a trap though, his heart felt calm, his breathing steady and the split moment when she did look in his eyes, they spoke of the truth.

"I.. I apologize for questions like that. This is a lot for me is all."

Kynthia didn't know what to believe anymore, one thing she did know is that she is now his mate and the only thing she can hope for now is that he won't betray her. The whole time she kept her face hidden against his chest, afraid to show him the emotions that ran rampant within her eyes. She wanted to be strong and calm like he is, although sadly, this is the most vulnerable she has ever felt.

"Can..... Can mate..... Can you claim this land..... here? This place means much to me.... I know it is broken. I still come here often, hide here."

The thought of running free right now made her smile, though he couldn't see it with her face hiding and she did seem to be calming down more. Her ears perked up in response to the idea and wasn't quite sure what he meant by getting anything done, she gets lots of things done..... as a wolf.

"Yes, I wish to run. I love running in fresh snow. And I am a wolf... Wolf hunt, play, protect and sleep. I get many things done...."

There's noticeable exhaustion clouding her golden eyes when she finally glanced up, she has been through a lot emotionally tonight and it's finally catching up to her. Being mated for the first time in her life took quite a bit to process as well, then the energy it took to get through the shock of it all was exhausting in itself.

"Is... Is mate.. satisfied? Do you need more?"

She asked mainly because she felt as if it was her duty to keep him happy and pleased no matter how much he wanted from her. That is just the way she has seen things work in the past, the female caters to the males every need. Some will even go hunt for the male while he rests. The human males forced many of the female elves to do such things before her pack left, which made it easy for her to learn and believe he will treat her the same.

"I will do more if you are not pleased...."

 

[anthilly]

Victor listened to her, she was obviously shaken by the rapid change of events. He wanted to sooth her and set her mind at ease.

"We can deal with the alpha of your pack, I think he can forgive me, I'll do what it takes to earn his forgiveness, all I want to be with you."

Her next question was odd to him, he hand't thought of it yet, he had just acted how he felt, how could he explain that to her.

"I didn't "choose" you, my heart told me to be with you, to mate with you. Are you not happy with me?"

He didn't wait for a response and kept going.

"I hunted because I was angry and I was good at it. I have memories of wolves killing my family, they might be false but they are there. I don't know why I don't hate you. I saw you laying in the snow and all I wanted was to protect you. You were like a sweet memory. You reminded me of happiness and when I picked you up from the ground, I could feel my life changing."

He smiled as she nuzzled into his chest, her breath warm on his bare skin.

"Don't apologize I want you to talk to me. If I can claim the land I will, sometimes remote land isn't claimed and just waits for a owner, sometimes you buy the land or you can fight the owner for it. Its a complicated part of being a human, we think we can own the land and somehow it it ours, but the land never is truly tamed, I have seen a lot of the world and the wild is always the wild."

Her smile was like an sunrise, beautiful and breathtaking.

"Well we will run as soon as the storm eases up, I think chasing you through the woods will be a highlight of my week, maybe my life. I think the wolf in me likes the idea I can feel him starting to stir. What do you get done my little wolf?"

When she asked if he was satisfied he wasn't sure what she meant. Did she want more or was she just being submissive. He thought carefully about what he wanted to say.

"I will always want more of you, you are like water or food, I need you now. But yes I am satisfied, all I want is to lay here and enjoy the night with you. However , he smiled as he talked and kissed her lips, if you want more I am more than willing. You have to know, I am a wolf and I am a human but I don't just use women for my pleasure. The first time hurts, and it takes time to adjust but I want you to enjoy me. I want sex with me to be the most pleasurable thing in your life.

He pulled her closer and kissed her lips as his hands ran down her back his fingers running through the soft fur and running along the base of her tail. His lips brushed hers then he kissed her fully, he could feel his heart starting to race and he pulled back slightly his lips lingering on hers before separating.

"
volo autem omnes risus" It means all that I want is your smile."

 

[katalynn]

Kynthia used the sound of his deep voice as a focus point, relaxing into the vibration it made against his chest while hearing him out. Her own body heat started to rise after a time and she enjoyed the warmth that exchanged between them. When he spoke of a village being attacked by wolves, it made her wonder if it was her pack attacking the humans. She followed the humans after they caught her pack to a village, although she was helpless to do anything against a whole village of humans. She does remember there were many screams and howling in the air that night, however, she didn't think anyone survived either.

After everything he talked about, there's only one question he asked that stuck with her the most. Are you not happy with me? It seemed to echo over and over, letting the kisses distract her responses as she thought about how to answer that. Then he spoke of wanting her to enjoy things when they mate, the first time happened so suddenly and it did hurt...... Well.... some of it hurt, not the whole time. She just wanted to deny how it felt to be mated, to deny herself of the pleasure it can create.

Kynthia finally pulled from the kissing to respond after much consideration of how to word things and make it seem like she's completely oblivious to how things work.

"I do not know if I am happy with you yet. I am happy knowing that you still live, gives me hope for others. Truth is...."

Lowering her head with a hint of shame for how she felt, uncertain of how to continue.

"I seen human males mate with females. I heard the screams, seen the rage in male human eyes. None of what I seen looked pleasurable. When human claimed the elves and my pack... Mated with the females... I saw no pleasure from females. Just fear and pain."

Her ears lowered as she continued, not knowing if what she'll say next will make him reject her or not. If that is what he wants in a mate, then not knowing how to enjoy such things made her an unworthy mate.

I... I do not know how to feel pleasure, I do not know what it looks or sounds like. I only know what I see. Females submit or get punished. I do not know how to enjoy being mated with."

She had a softer tone now, with some hesitation, but much calmer than it had been the last time she spoke. His petting along her back had a strong calming effect on her. Within a moment or two, she closed her eyes again and tried to focus on the sensation the petting caused and found that it's something she could learn to enjoy.

"I like this..."

She whispered softly and nuzzled her face against his chest again, waiting for him to be disappointed with what she said. Wondering if he will find her unworthy since she didn't know how to enjoy things like he requested of her. Everything else he talked about seemed to have faded from her thoughts for the time being, most of her focus went into keep calm and warm. The trying to figure out how to explain how she felt, other than confused by how quickly all this turned on her.

 

[anthilly]

He thought about responding to everything she had told him, but she was enjoying his petting and he didn't want to ruin it.

"I'm happy with you and we can both learn from each other, so we will just take this one step at a time."

His fingers ran up and down her spine, tracing warm lines into her skin and parting the soft fur. He cradled her in his arms, kissing the top of her head.

"I like this too. You can take your time with me and I will take my time with you.

 

[katalynn]

The things he said kind of confused her in some ways, especially after the way he had just mated with her. Then, she had to remind herself that it was his wolf that took over, it wanted to mate and it wanted to claim her. Not the human. Some part of that idea did make her happy to think about, the idea that there is another out there that actually wanted her. The concept of belonging to another instead of always running and hiding brought a smile to her lips.

There were moments as they laid there, both lost in thought, that she considered exploring some more, to learn what pleasure is like. Her claw like nails did trace over his chest, following the contours of the muscles and a few times she went further down to his naval. For the most the part she couldn't keep her eyes off his cock and tempted to touch it.

In the end however, she never did get the nerve to touch him there and it wasn't because she's afraid of it or anything. In fact it was quite the opposite, she wanted to feel it inside of her again, almost craving to feel what she felt moments ago. The sad truth is, Kynthia was just to exhausted to keep this day going. The sun will wake up in a few hours and she had a feeling tomorrow will be a long day.

Eventually sleep consumed her and she remained snuggled up against Victor, using her tail for extra heat underneath the blanket. She slept well into the morning, not willing to wake up nor willing to let him go from her side.

 

[anthilly]

Victor laid there, with Kynthia's nails tracing the contours of his chest and stomach, not wanting to push her he waited to see what she would do. He was aroused there was no hiding it, and he thought a few time's she would touch him and he longed for her to do so. In the end she snuggled into his arms and her breathing slowed as sleep took her. He listened and watched her sleep for a while before sleep finally found him, he closed his eyes. Smiling thanks to Kynthia's closeness.

The chill of the morning woke him up, the fire had died but the snow had stopped falling and the snow covered ground was crisp and bright with the morning sun. Kynthia still had not stirred from his arms. Rolling to his side, he brushed his lips against hers before his hands slid up her legs, and parted the white fur between them. He worked slowly, teasing her softly to not wake her just yet.

He had dreamed of her the night before, her body and moans had filled his waking mind with lustful thoughts and he was already at his full arousal when he opened his eyes. His fingers touched her outer lips before sliding between them, her body was already responding to his touch and his lips moving from her mouth to the sweet curve of her neck. His fingers slid deeper into her, she squeezed down on him and he wiggled his finger inside of her, curling the tip against the top of her. His mouth traced the swell of her chest onto her breast, taking her nipple he slowly kissed the hard nub and swirled his tongue around it. He looked up at her face, her eyes were shut as her hips rose to meet his hand and her breathing rose her breast to him then fell away creating tension on her nipple as his teeth grazed them. Kissing her lips once more, then taking her ear into his mouth placing a soft kiss on the pristine skin where many humans wore their jewelry. He spoke softly, fulling of caring from their first union and lust for the next one.

"Wake up my mate, it is morning and I waited all night to see you again."

 

[katalynn]

Kynthia was dreaming about the days events, from the moment he shot her with the arrow to the moment of when they mated. Here it seemed as if the dream continued in slow motion, watching herself from a distance being mated with. The sights, sounds, even the sensations were all too real. Watching the mixture of pleasure and pain wash over her own face as she cums. The first few moments before the wolf took full control entranced her the most. Watching herself writhe and move with him as if they were truly meant to be together.

His voice broke into the dream, she didn't recall him speaking as they mated. It echoed in the dream, sounding distant and she caught the words 'wake up'.... No, she didn't want to wake up.... not now.... The dream slowly started to fade right when she was about see herself having an orgasm.

However, it was the orgasm that actually woke her up. Her eyes clouded with lust and some confusion as she woke up to new sensations. She's panting and crying out with pleasure as she tried to comprehend what was happening to her.

Her legs parted more for him on instinct and head tiled to allow him access to that area. There's no time to question him, or find out what he truly wanted her to do. Her thoughts were too clouded and were still trying to wake up fully. However, his fingers didn't stop when she woke up and after being tender from the first climax, it was easy for him to rip another orgasm from her.

 

[anthilly]

Her orgasm came like a wave, her body writhed and she clamped down on his hand. Her legs parted after, her panting heavy in the air. His fingers were wet with her as he moved between her legs, one on either side of his hips. His mouth was back on her nipple, teasing and sucking on them alternatively. His hands held her hips, fingers digging into her as she moved under him. Moving one hand to his cock, he ran the head of it through her wet lips. He groaned as he glided up and down her, coating him with her juices.

Pressing the tip at the her entrance, her wetness around him and her hips grinding into him. He pushed past her resistance and began to thrust into her. His thrust were fast and hungry, the wolf was urging him own, snapping and growling in his mind. He snapped back at him, he was going to be in charge for this. He moaned as she wrapped around him, he could feel the fur of her tail on his balls and her thighs pressed against his bare hips. He lifted her hips up to him, one hand in the patch of fur on her back above the curve of her ass and the other sliding between them, his fingers finding the swollen bud between her wet folds. Pulling the hood of her clit back he flicked it back and forth with his fingers.

Pulling his lips away from her breast he lifted her to him, resting on his knees he let her slide down onto him, then lifting her with his arms to repeat the motion. His lips brushed past hers as their moans melded into one another. His heat was rising and his control of the wolf was weakening as he could feel the changes happening in his body. The fur appearing on his back, the familiar overload to his senses and the being of the bulge at the base of his cock and the raising tension in his balls as they tightened and his cock twitched with anticipation. The bulge was raising, he could feel it as it pushed past Kynthia's lips and he felt her tense as it entered her. Her body rippled with the pleasure of it and her orgasm drove his. His body trembled as he came, filling her with his seed. His body cooled and his mind cleared, the wolf backing down and he was finding he could control the shifts more easily, he eased the bulge in his cock down and with a satisfied pop he left her, he could fell their juices dripping out of her and off the tip of his cock. He smiled and kissed her before falling back onto the blankets, his hands on her back and his lips on hers.

 

[katalynn]

Being half asleep her body responded to everything he offered it and there wasn't any fear this time as he filled and stretched her. She still felt some pain as it is still new to her and she isn't used to being stretched like that, however, the pain wasn't nearly as bad. When he started moving, not giving her a chance to adjust this time, simply forcing her body to feel instead of think.

After a few thrusts she cried out with so much pleasure, the orgasm didn't stop as he teased her clit, letting her ride out the climax to its fullest. She clawed into his shoulders while holding onto him for support as a series of orgasms washed over her. His seed and the knotting caused her to whimper softly as the seed burned the tender flesh and the knot twisted that flesh.

The knot didn't seem to last as long this time and when he slipped from her, she shivered at the empty feeling it left behind. She remained on top of him as he laid down with her legs straddling either side of his hips, he can feel her tail wagging slowly across his legs. Kynthia couldn't stop kissing him as she started to learn that it is something she really enjoys doing, and the little squirming of her hips indicated she needed more.

 

[anthilly]

Finishing, he was exhausted, but his energy was returning as Kynthia kissed him and her hips ground into his. He held back his lips from hers, the cool air filling the space. His breathing was visible when he spoke.

"I could die happy waking up this way every morning."

Lowering his lips to hers, he cut off her replay with his kiss then he felt her shudder when his hand slipped between her legs. His fingers teased her already swollen clit, her hips bucked against his hand but he kept the pressure on. He let his fingers slip down, inside of her. She was all lust and her body pulled his fingers and her hips thrust up to him. He began to pull and push his fingers in and out of her, picking up speed as his thumb positioned to press against her clit as he moved. Her juices coated his hand and made a wet popping sound as he played with her. His cock was hard and pressed against her leg. With his free hand he moved her hand to his shaft. A low growl was all he need to tell her what to do. Her fingers wrapped around him and ran down his length, nails raking against his skin. He lowered his mouth to her chest, kissing the flushed skin between her breast. His lips were cool against her skin, he could see the goosebumps forming on her breast and his lips cashed them to each nipple. Kissing them, then letting the cold air make contact with the wet skin. He smiled, his eyes bright and burning as she gasped and moaned at the temperature change. His desire was growing and she was close to another orgasm. He pulled his hand back, she whimpered when he left her. He positioned himself quickly, pushing into her, filling her with him. He could feel her breath catch and her body adjust to him. She was so close, he thrust into her rapidly, filling her. Her body writhed and bucked under him, he could feel his balls start to tighten and his cock stiffen inside her. He let the change take place. His cock grew smoother and the tip became more pointed and the large knot formed at his base and pushed into her. He felt it push past her outer lips and her muscles shift to accept it. His cock throbbed as he spilled his seed into her, he didn't retract his knot as before. Leaving it in, her body squeezing and writhing around it. His lungs were heavy and his heart was racing, he kissed her lips, his world was ablaze and even the cold air outside couldn't touch him as his passion filled her and burned through his body.

 

[katalynn]

Kynthia honestly didn't have much time to calm down from the first round as he kept providing her pleasure. There wasn't much effort in ripping out a series of orgasms from her considering she's sensitive from what they did moments ago. When she realized where he guided her hand, feeling the freshly hard cock that felt thicker than she thought it would, she did hesitate. She didn't know how to pleasure him with her hand, afraid of hurting him.

Then he growled at her as his hand guided hers with what he wanted. The hesitation disappeared and she proceeded to stroke him on her own, teasing him with her nails. She loved how it would twitch within her hand, learning quickly at what gives the greatest reaction. This lesson however, didn't last nearly long enough when he became ready and replaced his fingers with the thick cock.

There were no stopping the next series of orgasms as her screams and moans echoed off the walls. By the end, she was clawing deeply into the fur on his shoulders, wrapping herself tightly around his body when he knotted within her. Being extremely tender at this point, she couldn't help the scream that pierced the air.

Once the rush came down, the after math of energy spent took its course within her. The inner walls spasmed around the still hard cock, trying to soothe and adjust to the knot still being inside. Her teeth chattered into the kiss as the cold started to shock her system with each passing second. She isn't used to being in this form and the loss of her fur made it impossible to keep warm and she couldn't stop shivering.

 

[anthilly]

He laid there on top of her for a moment, basking in the afterglow. He smiled down at her, he worried about her, but her moans ands screams gave him the confidence that he had pleased her. He kissed her softly, tenderly and with his human lips he nipped at her neck. Slowly separating himself from her, untangling arms and legs. Flexing his muscles he worked off the lingering stiffness form the night on the floor. S tiring the fire he got out his cooking skillet, tossing some of the fresh elk from his bag he cooked some breakfast, slicing a potato and carrots throwing them in beside the elk. The smell of the meat filled the room, and he prepared two plates and turned toward Kynthia. He stood there, slack jaw and the plates steaming in the cold. Kynthia was laying on the floor, half under the covers and resting on one arm. Her breast were exposed and her nipples hard, he could see the glow in her eyes a hunger he knew was only partially satisfied by food.

Smiling he offered her the food, he ate quickly waiting for her to finish. As she downed the last of the food, he smiled giving her a quick kiss before pulling her into his arms. The blankets pulled around them he stared at her eyes.

"Kynthia, my beautiful Kynthia, you are amazing. Kissing her lips, their breath visible in the cold. What are we going to do today?"

 

[katalynn]

The scent of food tickled her nose and made her gut growl in anger, claiming that she is starving it. Though she watched with concern as he cooked the meat and just like the first time, she freaked out mentally thinking he's destroying the meat. Luckily he didn't really cook it, just the outside was lightly cooked and the center still red, yet warm like it's fresh from the kill.

She sniffed at the meat and then veggies that were on the side, at first she licked it and tasted the seasoning on it. Her ears flattened at the taste, not used to eating cooked things, let alone recalling the last time had veggies. Again she sniffed it like it was going to bite her if she touched it.

Slowly and carefully she tasted a carrot, barely taking a bite worth tasting and then acted as if she just ate a spoonful of peanut butter.

"You.... You like this... stuff?"

Asked while poking at it with her claws, of course she wanted to eat the meat as she knew that would taste good no matter what. After a close examination of the clearly dead veggies and watching him eat it down like it was nothing, she eventually ate a few bites of it. Kynthia couldn't get the taste for the veggies, they didn't seem right to her, the texture was all wrong, the taste, scents.... It... It just wasn't right!!

She savored the meat though after giving up on the veggies, finishing it off as if it was a real treat instead of treating it like breakfast. The moment she put the plate with barely touched veggies down, he caught her off guard with the hug. She smirked at the question and grinned playfully.

"Honestly, I'm tired of being cooped up in here and I'm freezing without my fur....."

With that, she licked his nose playfully just before rolling away from him to give herself room to shift forms. Once fully shifted, she glanced down at him, giving him a sloppy wet kiss and then took off running for the tunnels.

 

[anthilly]

Victor could watch her eat all day, he loved her little pouts and the wrinkle that formed between her eyes when she played or tasted a veggie. When she finished he was surprised by her licking his nose, then watching her shift and when he finished wiping the slobber from his face he smiled and took off in a sprint. Leaping through the door his body shifted easier than before, the change almost second nature to him.

His paws hit the floor, the soft thud of his boots replaced by the scuffing sounds of his claws on the stone floor. He couldn't see her ahead of him, but his nose picked up on her scent and he could hear her panting and the sound of her paws leading him through the darkness. He reached the end of the tunnel, he slipped on the frozen ground and skidded into a snow bank. He hoped that Kynthia wasn't around to see that. Standing up he shook his body, snow flying off him everywhere.

He sniffed the air, so many smells that he never knew existed before. The sensations of the new world around him was amazing. He felt strong, powerful in this form. He could see why Kynthia preferred it. Then his nose found her, she had a sweet scent like the forest after the rain, clean and fresh but wild. It was leading him into the forest, he huffed and ran after her.

He couldn't see her but he found her tracks and her scent was stronger than ever. He followed her till her tracks got less spaced apart, she had slowed down. Walking over an ridge, he found her. Her white fur standing out even against the fresh snow, her tail curled around her and her head lowered to a stream. He slowly approached her, trying to make as little sound as he could. Walking beside her he nipped her neck then nuzzled his face against hers, lowering his head he drank form the stream. He heard her turn from him, but he didn't expect what came next.

Apparently she wanted to play, tackling him to the ground, her yips and growls matching his as the tussled. But she was more aware of herself in this form and he was quickly pinned, with a beautiful grinning wolf above him.

 

[katalynn]

She wasn't quite ready to lead him to where her pack sleeps yet. Granted she does have a bit more trust in him compared to when they first met, she didn't know if he had others that would be looking for him or not. Also, the wolves wouldn't understand, not in the way she understands anyway. As far as they were concerned, she's leading a hunter straight to their den. In which case, would force her out of the pack and lose their respect and that is something she isn't willing to do.

For now, however, she figured it is time he learned how to be a wolf again. Being a hunter, she wasn't surprised that he tracked her down so easily and she did see him slipping on the ice. Though he didn't see her hiding in the tree line when it happened, which made her laugh some to herself. Once he regained himself, she took off again before he could see her watching him.

Kynthia was gentle with him at first, just to let him get a feel of how to play again like they used to when he was younger. After pinning him down many times, she started to get a bit rougher with him, forcing him to take control over her actions. He actually was a bit bigger than she is, more muscular as well where she was leaner and was made for running vs fighting.

She had the agility and speed when he had the brute strength, she knew he was holding back on her, most likely afraid of hurting her. Which is why she proceeded to get rougher with him, to show him that she wouldn't break if he dominated her. He needed to learn how to be the alpha of the pack and had to learn to not be afraid to put a pack member in their place. Playing is the best way to learn such things, though most learn those lessons as pups growing up.... Victor on the other hand... is getting a crash course lesson.

Kynthia would bite and nip at him to get him to chase her, then growling deeply when pinning him down again. This is how she played and it has been a long time since she's played with another of her kind, picking on someone her own size sort of speak. And it was clear that she was having fun giving him this lesson, to see what he'll do with it.

He enjoyed their play, the back and forth pinning, the playful nips and growls. But she was getting more forceful, pushing him, it seemed like she wanted to get some reaction from him. He wanted to ask, but she never let up. She was fast, and she would dance around him before running off and coming in for an attack. He knew he was stronger, he was clearly the bigger wolf and he was her alpha. That thought kept creeping back to him. He was her ALPHA.

He waited for her to run away before darting in for her next attack. He braced and watched her movements. She was beautiful how she moved, her body a toned mass of muscle and her motion was fluid and entrancing. His wolf snapped at his mind, reminding him of what he need to do. She darted toward him, waiting for the last second he jumped out of the way. Returning her charge, he jumped on her back. His weight held her down, he placed his jaws on her neck and nudged her onto her back. Standing over her, he jaws placed on her throat he growled, exerting his dominance.She whimpered and only then did he lick her face. He stared at her and let her stand up. He nuzzled her face before nipping her neck playfully. He stood beside her his wolf form strong and proud to have her with him, his wolf told him what to do. His howl split the silence of the woods, sending rabbits and fowl fleeing their burrows. He was an Alpha, and she was his mate. Now the world new it and he would defend his position to the death. Looking to her, he waited for her reaction.

"I am an Alpha, and you are MY mate. I will defend you and those you love to my death. We will write the history and future of our pack into the memories of every creature in these lands."

 

[katalynn]

His howl showed the strength that hid within him, from both the man and the wolf. It did surprise her that he suddenly burst into the howl though, not expecting it after showing the dominance over her. Shortly after she heard the hesitant howls of the pack she's been protecting, one by one they replied to the howl. For the time, she had been laying next to him, enjoying the coolness of the snow beneath her belly. That ended when the wolves began to how l in return, one of the howls were from a scout, the hunting party and had a warning tone to it.

Victor was unknown them, his howl foreign and the dominance behind it was out of place in their eyes. It was here she sat up tall and proud next to him, this isn't quite how she wanted to introduce him to the pack. However, it was going to happen with or without her desire to wait. She did give a low growl for a moment as she wondered if this is a good place or not, then again it was still a decent distance from their den.

Kynthia howled after a moment, her howl was long and beautiful as it sang through the winter trees. One of the most beautiful howls ever heard from a wolf and it hushed all the other howling. There was silence when she finished after a few moments. Within seconds there were yipping and howls of what might seem happiness and the sounds grew closer to them.

After a few moments the wolves were surrounding the two of them, naturally the yonger ones came rushing up to her while a few of the older ones were growling deeply towards him. They knew his scent as a human, though the scent of the wolf threw them off but the hunter in him stayed strong none the less.

For the time being Kynthia stayed close to Victor, letting the pups explore them more closely and to show the older ones that he isn't a threat. Slowly the elder Alpha came growling from behind the scouts, clearly exhausted from running and traveling the distance to get to her. Kynthia laid down in both submission and respect for the elder, allowing Victor to go from here. After all, it was him that needed the elders forgiveness and acceptance.

 

[anthilly]

He heard, the howls in reply, he wasn't sure how but he knew what they meant. They were worried and carried a warning to him. He was the outsider and this was their land. His only concern was for Kynthia, how would the pack react to her, standing by his side proud and beautiful.

When Kynthia howled he was awestruck by the sound of her howl. It was like music and seemed to hold all the beauty of the wild in it. Compared to his it was soft and soothing. Then the wolves appeared. There were so many the entire pack had to have came to the call. The young ones looked at him with fear and awe in their eyes. He tried to not be threatening to them while still holding his dominance over the area, he sensed any weakness would be picked up by the older wolves easily. The old wolf came from between the trees, his old paws heavy with age and his eyes held more wisdom then any man Victor had ever known.

As the old wolf approached his inner wolf told him what to do, he bowed slightly never taking his eyes off the wolf. It was almost a play bow, but the eye contact issued a silent challenge. He had to be non threatening but still hold onto his dominance or the old wolf would dismiss him. He spoke as he rose.


"Hello elder, I am new to this area, I found Kynthia and saved her from the storm and I claimed her as my mate. I have no quarrel with you or your pack and we seek a home in these woods. "

He eyed the old wolf, looking for any reaction.

 

[katalynn]

The alpha wolf growled deeply as he heard the words of this outsider, speaking to him in the language of wolves as if he has always been a wolf instead of a hunter. The Alpha knew of what Kynthia was, part of him envied that she came from such a powerful bloodline, where he is just a wolf from the wilds. However, there is a part of him that held the knowledge of the past, living a life long past the life of a normal wolf. The elves had given the secrets of their time, gave him prolonged life to look after Kynthia once her pack was taken from her. This of course was something she didn't know, he never told her as much and kept to the wilds until she came to him years later.

When he finally spoke in the language of wolves, it surprised Kynthia at how much he truly understood, never hearing him speak to her in such a way.

"Lies... You are the human hunter that hunts my pack."

He snarled and never took his gaze from Victor, though he made no motion to attack instead circled him and sniffed at his scent more closely. There's no way this Alpha would be able to take on this outsider in a fight, nor would he dare to attempt it.

"I do not know how you are like our Kynthia. I can not trust you either, I smell my son all over you, you reek of his blood."

The Alpha circled him once more, smelling the fate scent of human through the thick scent of the wolf form. He can see the hunter deep within the wolf eyes as he growled once more, disapproving the idea that this hunter is so close to his pack. Even more agitated by the idea that Kynthia of all wolves would take this outsider as a mate, with that moments thought, the Alpha turned to Kynthia and growled at her.

"Why would you take him as a mate? He is not one of us, he will betray you and kill the rest of our pack..."

Before he could finish and before Kynthia could respond, they all heard a gun fire ringing through the trees along with a faint, painful howl in the distance that faded shortly after another shot. The pups hide behind Kynthia, whimpering while the older scouts started growling in the direction of the gun fire.

"See, Kynthia... He can not be trusted. More hunters have come, he has lead them to us..."

The Alpha snarled and proceeded to turn his back towards Kynthia and the outsider, urging the younger pups back to the safety of their den. The rest of the pack went to follow him, knowing the hunters out there would soon be upon their location. Kynthia didn't know what to believe and her ears were laying flat against her head as she watched the pack turn the backs on her.

 

[anthilly]

Victor tensed as the elder spoke, he had right to be angry and he deserved what the elder spat at him. But how did he know, it had been days the scent of blood couldn't be that strong on him. He was about to step toward the aging wolf when he turned his angry word toward Kynthia. The gun fire was the only thing that caused him to stop, he watched as the Alpha ushered his pack away.

Victor turned toward Kynthia, she was devastated, he had hoped to make an easy transition for her, make nice with the wolves. The danger now, so many hunters scents on the winds everyone was in danger.

Kynthia, go with them, I will take care of the hunters. Don't argue, protect the pups they are our future.

Turning from her he rushed toward the gunfire. His senses were fine tuned, nothing escaped him. The chipmunk scurrying above him, the grouse flying out of his way, the twigs snapping under his paws. The smell of gunpowder burned his nose and his rage grew as the scent of blood grew stronger. Clearing the underbrush he saw the crumpled body of one hunter his throat torn out and a wolf under him. Stopping to check the wolf, he was too late a gunshot burned through its chest. Hearing the sounds of a fight, he ran toward the scuffle. Leaping over a fallen log he landed in a puddle of blood, sniffing it the Elder's scent filled his lungs. Looking around he saw the hunter, knife in hand leaning over the venerable wolf. Victor lunged, biting into the back of the mans neck. He cut off a scream when the mans neck broke in his jaws.

"Elder, are you ok?"

The old wolfs words were strained and garbled, Victor knew blood was filling his lungs, he wouldn't survive.

You, you killed him?I thought you were with them, maybe I was wrong about you. If you truly care for Kynthia redeem yourself hunter, you have killed many of my pack, help me save them today.

He struggled to breathe as he coughed blood and struggled to raise. Collapsing back onto the ground, the elder wheezed.

I am dying, if I was younger I could have taken these hunters easily. Listen, I don’t aware of. The elves of this land prolonged my life, to protect and guide her. She has been alone for too long. If she chose you as her mate, my job falls to you. Protect her, and save her family from these beast.

The old wolf sighed, but before Victor could speak the sound of laughter came from behind him.

“James, look I caught one of the young ones, I bet the pits would pay good money for a wolf pup.”

Victor shifted, grabbing the knife from the dead body of James, he turned and threw the knife. The hunter was caught off guard by the sudden attack, dropping the pup and grasping at the hilt, blood poured down his shirt as the life faded from his eyes. Walking toward the pup he tried to speak to the little male, forgetting he was in human form.

“Hey what is your name?”

The pup coward from him, shrinking away from his outstretched hand. Understanding dawn on Victor, he shifted into his wolf form, and repeated the question. The pup answered in a shaky voice, his eyes wide and full of fear.

“My name is Kino, my father was trying to protect me from a hunter. Th-They shot him.”

Victor thought of the wolf he came across earlier, Kino pinned his ears and whimpered.

“I’m Victor, I need to take care of the rest of the hunters Kino. Do you think you can be brave and protect the Elder for me?”

Kino nodded, and Victor showed him where the Elder was laying and pulled some branches to shield them from view in his human form. Once he was finished he shifted back into his wolf, the transformations becoming second nature to him.

“Kino, stay here and stay quiet until the hunters are gone.”

The Elder looked worse than before but he looked at his young guard and then to Victor.

“You are good with the young ones, save my family, and you will have a place with them.”

Victor nodded and turned running toward the noise of gunfire and howls. As he ran, he passed a wolf, finishing off his own fight he was surprised when it fell in beside him.

“We have to find Kynthia and the pups”

The grey wolf nodded and howled, soon they were part of a large hunting party of wolves. As they ran they stopped to take out the hunters they encountered. After almost an hour they still had not found Kynthia or the pups. Worry clouded Victor’s thoughts, where was she? Was she ok? The grey wolf came up to Victor and spoke his voice low and deep snapping him out of his haze.

“She must have taken them to the den, follow us hunter. Don’t think this means you are forgiven.”

Victor nodded and the took off. Following the forest till it thinned as it sloped up the mountain side. Coming into a small clearing, they stopped and a growl escaped his throat in chorus with the others. Kynthia laid there her body shielding the pups from the hunter, she was fierce with her muzzle bloodied and her teeth gleaming in the light from the hunters lantern. The hunter held the lantern out in one hand a curved sword in the other. The hunter was speaking, but Victor’s ears were filled with his own heart beat, he lunged. Hitting the hunter his teeth sinking into his leg. Both the sword and lantern fell the oil spilling and coating the blade.

“Good at least he is disarmed.” Victor thought then the boot hit him. It took his breath and sent him rolling across the hard ground. He strained to breathe and looked around, the wolves were advancing and preparing the lunge. The hunter was preparing to fight the whole pack, a skinning knife in his hand.

“Stay back!, He is mine.”

Victor growled at the circle of wolves. Surprisingly they stopped advancing, maybe just out of the possibility that he would die then they could finish off the hunter themselves.
Victor stood, finding his footing then slowly stalking the hunter. The knife could be an issue, but he was faster and the hunter was already wounded. The hunter lunged, Victor tried to dodge, but he was distracted by Kynthia’s cry. The knife lodged in his shoulder and his eyes found Kynthia, another hunter had a gun pointed at her. He shifted but the knife prevented a full shift, reverting back to the wolf he cursed. Using his teeth the pulled at the handle. It came dislodged as the hunter kicked him again. The wind left his lungs and he struggled to breathe. He had to save Kynthia and the pups. He shifted, his lungs burned and his breathing was labored, he thought some of his ribs were broken but he couldn’t stop. Grabbing for the knife he swung upwards, the hunter who was trying to kick at him again. The hunter dodge and victor tossed the knife at the hunter treating Kynthia. The knife missed its mark but hit his hand and he dropped the gun. One of the other wolves quickly took him down, he heard the man screaming as the grey wolf from before held him down. Victor’s opponent was in shock, not knowing what to do about his human form. Victor stood, his ribs burned but his anger pushed past the pain. He charged the man, shoulder tackling him. The hunter rolled onto the ground and Victor jumped him shifting into a wolf. The hunter lifted his knees, throwing Victor over him and onto the ground. Landing on the broken glass from he lantern he realized the sword was near. Shifting again he grabbed for the sword, swinging as he stood, the blade sparked across the rocks and thee oil ignited. Holding the flaming sword in his hand he swung at the hunter landing a blow. A flaming gash appeared on the hunter’s chest, his face a mix of shock and agony. Victor lunged driving the blade into the mans chest their eyes locked and Victor watched as the mans eyes lost their life and his body went slack. Dropping the swords hilt the man collapsed and he turned to the pack. Shifting into his wolf from, he walked away from the corpse and pushed past the wolves to Kynthia. Nuzzling her neck his pain left him and the warmth of love for his mate filled him. Resting his head against her he spoke to the pack telling them where to find Kino and the Elder. Returning his attention to Kynthia he nipped her neck in affection.

“I was so worried for you, when we didn’t find you in the forest I didn’t know what to do.”

 

[katalynn]

It wasn't easy for Kynthia to leave considering she is normally the one that goes charging out into the fights. However, this time is different in many ways, the biggest one is the fact that she has a mate now that needed to prove himself to the rest of the pack. And there were far more hunters out here than normal, usually there's only one or two to take care of. Today they seem to be overwhelming the surrounding area which made it difficult for her take the pups back to the den. Just with Victor, she didn't want anyone to know where the den was, sadly though, it was the only place the pups knew was safe.

Three hunters had followed them there and had set up a couple of simple traps, one had caught one of the pups which forced Kynthia to react. The hunter that came to check to trap, grabbing the pup more roughly than necessary is the first one she attacked. It wasn't an easy fight and she gained some nasty wounds especially after the second hunter came into the picture.

She fought hard to protect the pups and ripped the first hunter to shreds, ending his life by ripping his throat out and clawing out his heart. The second hunter had shot her in the hind leg to get her off his partner, however it was far to late for the partner. She backed up against the wall of the cave, urging the pups to get inside behind her, though they were too frightened and shell shocked to move. Kynthia placed herself between the pups and the hunter, ignoring the pain that raced into her left hip as she snarled, baring her teeth at the hunter.

The third hunter caught her off guard as all the scents in the air mingled as one, the guns, scent of blood and death, then the pain that clouded her eyes made it impossible to fight two hunters at once. One had a gun, the other a knife and no matter which one she attacked, the other would have all the advantage over her. It was then the nightmare slipped back into play, recalling the last time she was in such a position and that too clouded her senses.

Kynthia didn't even register right away that Victor had come into the picture with the grey wolf, the memories had her frozen until the gun bashed into her shoulder. She yelped from the refreshed pain but before she could react to it and fight back, the pack had come in and took over the hunter. The pups ran to the rest of the pack and were ushered into the den. She couldn't recall the last time she actually had to fight and protect like this, it brought back all those horrible memories as she watched Victor.

When Victor came up to her, the comfort he gave was barely felt for a moment as she slowly came fully back into reality. The nip shocked her a little, it wasn't painful or anything it was more to do with her being off in her own world in that moment. She looked around to make sure the pack was safe, the threat removed and then realized that this den isn't safe any more. Other hunters will come to look for these hunters.

"I've been shot, but I'm fine otherwise."

She was trembling as the pain in her hip ran its course when she moved to nuzzle him in return. The rest of her wounds would heal easily enough as it's her nature to heal quickly. Sadly the bullet wound wouldn't heal with the bullet still inside, her body wasn't capable of pushing it out.

"We can not stay here. This place is no longer safe. We can maybe move the hunters bodies, but others will look for them. All that will do is lead them straight to here."

Kynthia sniffed over him and licked over the painful areas, the wound where the dagger had cut into his shoulder. She knew they would heal quickly for him once he got some rest, in fact he would most likely heal faster than she will considering how strong his bloodline is. Though she did feel bad that he got hurt and did sense a couple of broken ribs, those will take a little longer to heal considering it is bone.

When she stood to move, she felt weakened at the loss of blood and it didn't seem to be slowing down as it stained the white fur of her leg. Little did she know that it wasn't any normal bullet that pierced her hip, it was made specially to make the blood flow faster, forcing the prey to bleed out quicker. It felt as if the bullet was drawing out her blood, pulling it towards the open wound.

Through the cloud she could hear the grey wolf snarling and growling at Victor, though she couldn't make out the words right off. Only a few things that stuck out as the Grey wolf forced him between her and Victor, putting the blame on Victor for the hunters being here and for Kynthia getting shot. He may not be able to turn into a human like Victor can and he may not be able to claim Kynthia as a mate for that reason, however, he did love her like a mate and would protect her. He can sense that she's growing weaker and wanted Victor to leave.

 

[anthilly]

Kynthia was right they need to move and move now! Victor's shoulder was sore but no longer bleeding and in the morning all he would have to remember it was tenderness in the area. His ribs on the other hand would be another story, he didn't know how many of them were broken but ever breathe was like a dagger in his side. But his real concern was for Kynthia gunshot however, he needed to remove the bullet and if his concerns about the type of bullet the hunters were using, they ripped the flesh and kept the wound from closing properly. Hunter's called them red deaths, due to copious amounts of blood they drained. The low growl drew his attention, the grey wolf he fought beside a short time ago had his head lowered and his hackles up. Flanked by two other wolves, he clearly meant business.

"Move away hunter, this is your fault and I won't let you hurt Kynthia anymore."

Victor stared at this challenger, not sure exactly how to react he stood his ground and pushed back at the encroaching wolf.

"Try to separate me and I will put you on the ground cur, you know what I am and you know what Kynthia is. We are mated and I won't stand for your or anyone's interference."

"Hunter, last chance. Leave Kynthia and our pack alone or I will kill you."

Victor bared his teeth. " Try it"

The wolf lunged and victor braced. He was lighter than Victor and already rage was fueling the counter attack. Victor lunged back, knocking the wolf on his side, he grabbed the wolf's neck and shook. Lifting the grey wolf off the ground before throwing him to the dirt. Gray wolf rebounded quickly lounging again teeth barred but the attack was sloppy and Victor rolled the wolf again. Instead of allowing the wolf to get back on his feet Victor grabbed his throat and growled. His teeth drawing beads of blood as he increased the pressure. Growling Victor leaned his weight into the wolf, pushing him into the ground, glaring at him threatening to finish his bite if the wolf didn’t submit. Holding eye contact with his opponent till he felt the wolf’s body go lax and a soft whimper signaled his dominance over the wolf. Letting his grip on the wolf soften he allowed the the grey wolf to stand. He was surprised when the wolf licked the side of his face, and lowered his head and tucked his tail before him.

“What is your name?”

“I am Lupin, and I was the Elder’s second the beta of the pack.”

“So you are next in line after the Elder?”

“Yes after we found the Elder’s son dead I was next in line, until today”

“What happen today?”

“You.”

Awareness dawned on Victor, He had bested the second in command of the pack. In wolf society even from an outsider dominance was important and losing a fight meant losing rank. That would mean Victor was the new beta, next in line for the Alpha position. Not sure what to do with this new information, he turned his attention back to Kynthia and her wound.

“We have to get the bullet out of Kynthia, she can’t heal with it inside her. Go round up the rest of the pack and get them all to the Abandoned castle. We can regroup with the Elder there and decide what to do then.”

Lupin nodded and turned barking issues to his two followers and they started rounding up the pups and the other wolves. Turning to Kynthia he shifted into his human form and grabbed a discarded skinning knife and knelt beside his mate.

“Kynthia, love I have to remove the bullet. This is going to hurt but don’t fight, I need you still for this.”

Feeling the wound with his fingers, he could feel the sweeling around the bullet and positioning the knife he widened the wound and squeezed. Kynthia whimpered and pulled away at the pain.

“Hold still, please, I almost have it.”

Returning to the wound he squeezed and slid the knife into the wound. He could feel the blade of the knife hitting the metal round and pressed down on the handle. He watched as the bullet pushed through the blood and rose to the surface. Grabbing the bullet he removed the knife and threw the vile round into the bushes. Ripping a piece of cloth from his shirt he wrapped the wound and tied it tight to act as a compress.

“Are you ok? I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. I never thought so many would come into the woods, I thought I was the only one they had sent.”

He held her head in his hand and kissed her on the forehead, her fur tickled his lips and he smiled. Lifting her into his arms, he spoke calmly to her.

“Don’t try to fight me, you are going to lay here in my arms and rest.”

He walked into the woods, toward the castle. Careful not to brush her against anything as they moved through the forest.

“So apparently I’m the beta now. Guess that means I’m in the pack doesn’t it?

 

[katalynn]

Kynthia didn't want the wound to be touched and she was licking it while the two wolves fought for dominance. Naturally she didn't want anymore wolves to die tonight, yet she couldn't intervene with them either as it wasn't her place to do so. By the time they were done fighting however, she was laying down on her side shivering as her form shifted into the more human figure. There was too much blood lost for her to keep the wolf form and her tail wasn't enough to keep her warm.

The pups were trying to keep her warm as well, though the shock set in and the cold was the only thing she could feel. She heard Victor speaking and saw him through blurry vision with which only a few words sunk in when she laid her head down. Out of no where there was the sharpest pain she's ever felt in her life, it was worse than the bullet itself and she screamed out, jerking away from him.

His words fell on deaf ears, although it was the tone of his voice that calmed her down the most, the pressure of his hand holding her in place. Again, the pain ripped right through and she cried out, tensing her entire body as more shock hit her nerves. Everything around her went dark after that and the shivering only got worse, unable to deal with the pain and the cold together.

She felt arms picking her up, sadly though, all she wanted to do was curl up on the ground and sleep.... or die, whichever came first. Kynthia wasn't one for pain, her mind and body never learned how to truly deal with it and this much was a sheer shock to the system. His voice came to her again and she knew right away that it was his arms that held her, his scent that filled the air.

After a few moments of focusing on him, nuzzling against his chest with her tail curling around herself, she drifted off to sleep. The last thing she heard was him talking about being in the pack now, almost questioning what had happened moments ago. Kynthia couldn't really find the right way to respond considering her head was pounding and the muscles twitched where the wound was. All of which made her want to disappear for a while, sleep ended up winning any argument she had.
