The Hunter and the hunted

[anthilly]

Victor smiled as Kynthia fell asleep, she was in pain but her sleep seemed to be untroubled and calm. He almost laughed when she snored, even that endeared her to him more. Walking through the forest he though of how crazy the past few days had been. He was human a few days ago hunting the wolves of this forest now, he was part of their pack and something more than human. His wolf growled at him from his mind, and he smiled. He wondered if Kynthia felt her wolf like this or if it was due to him growing up without it. Clearing the woods, he stood in the shadow of the castle. The sound of howls and the pain in them scared him as he cleared the last of the trees. He clutched his charge tight and bolted toward the doors. Entering the great room he stood slack jawed at the circle of wolves before him.

In the center of the room was the body of the Elder, even from the door he could tell he was gone. The battle must have taken his life before the wolves got to him. Kino was in the corner, his ears pinned and his whines melted into the others. Laying Kynthia down on the rags where they made love earlier he called Kino over.

"Kino watch her."

The pup nodded and Victor turned and shifted into his wolf. Walking toward the Elder he was joined by Lupin. The grey wolf looked pained, but Victor doubted their scuffle was the cause.

"I'm sorry Lupin, I tried to save him."

"I know Alpha, Kino told us how you fought and what the Elder told you."

Victor almost missed it but the word Alpha seeped into his mind and gripped him. He beat Lupin and became the second, then the Elder died. That would make him Alpha, the leader of the pack. The weight of all the wolves lives under him weighed on him, but he couldn't show weakness not now, not ever.

"Lupin, what would the pack do with the Elder's body normally?"

"When the old Alpha dies, the new one and his mate eat's part of the old's flesh, then they share the body with the pack. Wolves do not waste, and by eating the flesh we hold all of our elders inside of us. Victor wasn't sure about eating someone he had spoken too, but the pack came first, and he was bound to them as much as they were bound to him now.

"Prepare for the ceremony, we will wait for Kynthia to wake up, she is resting from the bullet and will need some more time to heal. In the mean time, gather the best fighters and prepare for an counter attack, we will whip out the village soon. Scout the castle and the grounds, look in every nook and cranny. We need to e safe here untill the village is taken care of.

Lupin stared at him for a moment, Victor tensed prepared to fight for his position once again, then Lupin nodded and turned away form him. He heard the wolf issue his orders to the rest of the pack and they dispersed, searching the grounds.

Walking to where Kynthia laid, he noticed Kino cruled up next to her. He sat next to the pup and looked down at Kynthia. She was healing but he still worried about her wellbeing, aparently Kino did too.

"She will heal, I removed the bullet and she just needs rest."

Kino pinned his ears and gave him an odd look, before returning to Kynthia's side.

"I hope so, Kynthia always looked our for us pups, she played with us and kept us safe."

"She cares for the pack, and I will do everything I can to protect the pack and her."

"You better."

Surprised by the pups ferocity, and conviction Victor smiled and put his paw on the pups head, playfully pushing him down. Leaning to Kynthias ear he whispered to her.

"Rest my mate, but we have business with the pack soon, your mate and the packs Alpha calls to you."

 

[katalynn]

There wasn't much time for her to rest the way she needed to and there were too many distractions at that. She did sleep for the time it took to get back to the castle, though when he took off running it woke her up some. The painful howls for the loss ones plagued her sleep as well and she smiled a little when hearing the threatening tone from Kino. He was always a protective one, or at least tries to be and when he is older he would make for a fine Alpha when and if he moves on.

It was the sound of Victors voice in her ear though that had her open her eyes finally. His words made her ears lay flat as she didn't like the sound of what was said. He called him the packs Alpha and that could mean only one thing, the Elder has died in this fight. For a split second she did think that perhaps Victor was the one that killed him, yet it was only a split second and it faded as quickly as it came.

She didn't speak as she sat up, wincing from the pain in her hip while looking around the room they were in. After seeing the elder's body her ears pinned even flatter against her pounding head. It wasn't going to be easy to do what needed to be done next and it almost made her sick to think about it. When a wolf died and was brought back, or what remained, she never joined in with the others. This time was different however, he was an elder that practically raised her and protected her and he deserved the respect.

Shifting wasn't easy for her and after she shifted in wolf form, she was even dizzier and it showed with the way she walked towards the Elder. The pack was off doing their tasks so not all of them were here, the few that were here hushed the moment she stepped up to the circle. Without warning her head lifted to the sky and she sang a beautiful, yet mournful howl for the whole forest to hear. Granted the walls muffled most of what went outside, though her howl was strong enough that it echoed off those walls and down the halls.

 

[anthilly]

Victor smiled as Kynthia woke up and stood, her shift looked labored but she managed. Watching her walk toward the Elder's body he wanted to help but he knew she need to do it on her own this time. He almost cried when she howled, it was mournful and solemn filled with remorse for the loss of the Alpha. Walking beside her, their shoulders touching he added his howl to hers. As they finished he noticed the pack and surrounded them forming the circle around them and the Elder. The time had came.

He lowered his muzzle to the elder's throat, saying his goodbyes before sinking his teeth into the flesh. He pulled his head back, tearing a chunk of meat away. He had chosen the throat because it was soft and symbolically he was taking the Elder's voice and command over, the throat represented that. Swallowing the meat he looked at Kynthia, her eyes were sad but she knew she had no choice. He didn't speak, just looked at her then to the elder. Speaking with his eyes and standing strong beside her to give her support.

 

[katalynn]

Kynthia couldn't seriously do this to her Elder and she cringed while watching him tear into the elders neck. The symbolism behind what he did was clear to her and the other wolves knew it as well as they lowered in respect to the ground. Kynthia sighed when he finished and indicated that it was her turn now, which she hesitated before deciding to take a chunk out of the elders thigh.

For her the hind legs meant strength and power of the wolf. She had thought about going after the heart but she couldn't bring herself to go that far. It wasn't easy for her to swallow down the chunk she took, though for the sake of the pack she forced the bite down. After a moment of silent to pay her own respect, Kynthia howled one more time to indicate the pack can eat now.

She wasn't feeling very well however and doing this only made it worse, not only that it made her realize how hungry she truly was. The events of today wiped clean the food she had earlier and she hadn't ate since then. However, now wasn't the time to worry about such things, it was a time for mourning and restructuring.

Kynthia turned away from the pack as they started to take their part in splitting apart the Elder's body, unable to watch or listen as it happens. She went to go find a more private room to let the pack have their moment, she needed rest and some quiet time to heal properly. It didn't take her much to find another room down the run down hallway, finding an old pile of blankets to lay on. Though sleep didn't come easy for her as she stared out the broken window watching the setting sun.

 

[anthilly]

He watched as Kynthia struggled with the act of eating a piece of her former mentor and Alpha. He knew her pain but the deed was done and wouldn't have to be repeated. Watching her walk away, he knew she needed calm and gave her a few moments. Watching the pack complete the passing, he waited till the young ones were the last ones. Calling Lupin over he passed on his orders.

"Gather everyone and get some rest, assign 4 adult wolves to stand watch tonight, I don't want any hunters surprising us."

"Yes Alpha, I'll take the first watch myself."

Nodding to his new second, he turned and went to find Kynthia.

Finding her resting on a pile of rags he nuzzled her before shifting sitting next to her he ran his fingers through the fur on her head and spoke softly.

How are you feeling?

 

[katalynn]

She was lost in thought and went down memory lane as she laid there, her ears twitched when he came into the room. Other than that she didn't seem to really register him until she felt the touch and his words. For a moment she wasn't too sure on how to answer that considering her whole world has been flipped upside down. Whether it is for the better or for the worse, she couldn't say either way. After another few moments she shifted into the more human like form, in some ways getting used to it the weaker form, though he somehow made her want to be in it as well.

"I.. I don't know what to do. If you and the rest of pack hadn't come along.... and now the Elder.... I feel helpless. I can't protect my own pack against them."

Kynthia's ears were pinned as she curled up next to him, curling her tail around herself in a small ball and tried to hide herself. She didn't want to let him see her cry and she honestly didn't want to cry anymore either, however, the situation made it difficult as the scene kept replaying.

"I am the biggest wolf in these woods, the size of a bear and I still can' not protect anyone. I am not fit to be an alpha. Alpha's are suppose to protect the pack and I couldn't even take down three hunters... They..."

Her head was pounding with so many unforgivable thoughts, cussing herself out for not being there with the Alpha, for allowing her and the pups to get trapped. In her eyes there was no excuse and she felt foolish in her actions, she should have taken the pups to better safety and kept better guard up.

"I am tired of seeing my pack die, tired of fighting off the hunters... but they keep coming. Why do they hunt us? We have done nothing to them, we live peaceful lives... Why won't leave us?"

She curled up even tighter as her voice got caught in her throat and she fought hard to keep from breaking, forcing these raw emotions she hasn't felt in so long to be locked away again. She was doing everything she could to force it all back behind walls and locked doors. Though, with the loss of her Elder, it was too much to hold in and yet she refused to let it out.

 

[anthilly]

He listened Kynthia try and hide her tears, he could hear her pain streaming down her cheeks even as she spoke and he heart ripped in two. He was full of pain and rage for his mate's pain. He could feel her pain like a cold iron weight in his heart, threatening to pull him in on himself and end him, his rage was the counter. Anger burned through him his muscles tensed and his teeth ground against one another. He wanted to hurt people, he wanted to walk into the village and tear the life from every hunter who had ever looked at a wolf from afar. He struggled not to lead the pack into the a early attack but that would be folly and would most likely end with the death of every member of the pack. Controlling his rage he lifted Kynthia up off the ground. Her human form curled up reminded him of when he found her, and again she was in pain. He had failed to protect her, this would not happen again.

"I know that no words can end your pain, but let me try to soothe it. Today was a horrible day and the ground will not forget the blood spilled for many moons. But we are the Alpha's and I know no other wolf or human who have the right to call themselves stronger than you. You are large and fast and beautiful, but all of those don't compare to your strongest trait. You are compassion and grace, you defended the pups in the only way you could have. Without you we would have lost the entire future of the pack. I saw you, standing in front of the pups a gun pointed at you. You stood your ground, I knew they would have to go through you to get to the pups. I am only thankful that the pack and I arrived in time to prevent that."

He pulled her close, wrapping her in his arms and kissed her tear soaked lips. Allowing her to rest on his chest he took a breath, relaxing himself and to fight the sadness that welled inside him when he thought of life without this beautiful avatar of the wild that sat on his lap now.

"I do not know what spurred the attack, I don't know how they found the pack so easily. I do know that they will pay, the pack will taste revenge and when the last hunter falls I will ensure that these lands are ours and will remain a safe haven for all wolves for as long as I hold power. I have a plan and you will play a part in it, I think you will enjoy the role."

He smiled as she looked up at him, a curious gleam in her tear studded eyes. He kissed her then, he only wished that his embrace could end her pain and soothe her troubled mind. Leaning his head back against the wall he held her, her white hair radiated in the full moons glow, she was his connection to the wild and his gateway back to the pack that should have been his family, she also was a warrior in defense of his new world. She was quickly becoming his world, but in that moment he finally knew what she was by will of nature and whatever gods existed, she was his mate, the other part of his soul. His heart swelled and he held her closer, he had no words so he spoke none, instead letting the heat from his chest express his devotion to her.

 

[katalynn]

Her ears twitched some while listening to him. Little did he know that his voice was very soothing and it gave her something else to focus on other than crying. Though she couldn't really stop the tears, she managed to maintain most of her composure. There wasn't much more she could say towards everything he had said, he spoke of things that she was unable to see in herself right then.

For a time she hid against his chest until she calmed down enough to let everything sink in. It all happened so fast and she hasn't had much time to seriously process it all. Every so often her gut would growl in anger, yet she proceeded to ignore it for now. Food didn't feel like it was something she needed and she didn't think she could eat even if it was given to her.

Exhaustion did consume her and at the same time all the last few days kept plaguing that sleep. His scent, heat and the comforting embrace became her greatest focus point. She savored every aspect of her mate in these few moments, the way he breathed, the slight rumble of his hidden anger and most of all the steady beat of his heart. In all her years she never would have imagined this day and having a mate by her side. It was then she understood that he truly is her other half and that they were meant to be together.

Kynthia didn't want to think about the events that just occurred, or the what if's in the future. It would take something more than she's willing to admit to let all that go for now. Even thinking about taking revenge on the hunters with whatever plan he had no longer mattered. It was the here and now that she wanted to focus on and to show him the devotion she has for him.

After another moment or two she shifted within his embrace to sit in his lap, with her legs on either side of his. Her ears were still slightly lowered as she looked into his eyes, tracing over his lips with her nails. There was still much confusion and sorrow burning in her eyes, though she never spoke verbally, those eyes told him everything her words couldn't. Without warning and before he can say anything more, Kynthia kissed him with more passion than she has shown since they met.

 

[anthilly]

Victor was surprised when she crawled onto his lap, he was going to stop her until she kissed him. Her lips pressed into his, he could feel her pain, her wants, and her needs. He returned her kiss, their tongues danced and darted between their mouths. His large hands held her by the hips. He wanted her, he could feel her body wanting him. A wet spot had formed on his pants and his body stirred in response. Moving his hands, he explored her back. His fingers ran through the fur on her hips and back then onto the skin of her back and into her hair. His hands cradled her head as they kissed. He growled as his passion built, locking his eyes with her he lifted them off the cold floor.

He sat her on the window seal, the cold stone making Kynthia jump. He quickly threw off his shirt and undid his pants, letting the fabric drop to the floor.The moonlight filtered around her, giving her a angelic look. He lifted her hands to his chest, as he grabbed her hips and pressed himself against her. Returning to her kiss he slid her down onto him.

 

[katalynn]

Once he returned the kiss instead of resisting like she almost expected, she couldn't get enough of him. She kissed him with all the passion she's ever had in this world, feeding off the energy that he gave. When he lifted her up though she held onto him tightly, whimpering softly at the cold stone and from him pulling away to undress. Kyleen didn't want to let him go however, even knowing what he was doing.

The heat radiated off him as her finger tips traced over the contours of his chest, sliding her hands up over his shoulders for support. She was still slightly uncomfortable with him stretching her open as he slid into her, however it didn't hurt and her body seemed to welcome him. Her legs wrapped around his hips instinctively and pulled him in a tighter embrace, squirming her own hips on the cold stone in attempts to get him deeper.

"I... I need you..."

She whispered into the kiss, he can tell that she didn't want to let him go even if her life depended on it.

 

[anthilly]

Her words soaked into his mind, he spiraled into her. She became the only real thing to him as the rest of the world faded to black. Her body welcomed him and he was glad to accept the invitation. Pushing into her, the cold stone provided a counter force to him. His hands held her hips to him, he could't get enough of her. His thrust were slow and deep, his shaft stretched her and he pushed into her wet core. His lips found her neck and he buried his face into the curve of it. His body was warm and getting warmer, he actually worried about burning before he realized it was just emotion. He smiled and craved her contact, he had never felt this before and he knew it was because it was Kynthia. He fought the primal urge to mate and focused on the human side, keeping his body in check he savored their joining. Drawing it out, their shared body heat fighting the cold of the night.

Moonlight poured in on them as he laid down onto the floor, keeping Kynthia on top of him, watching her hips move and feeling her desire for him to be with her. Curling himself he reached up and kissed her, holding her body into an embrace. He was nearing his limit, he groaned and closed his eyes as his body shook and tensed. Caressing her face her kissed her before speaking.

"Finish with me."

He kissed her and relaxed to release the tension built in his body, his body trembled and he cam, his orgasm rolled over him like a tide and his mind exploded. Staring at his mate, the moonlight creating a halo around her, memories of her came pouring into him. Her playing with him as a pup, she wasn't much older than him but not by more than a few years. Her and his...brother.. being introduced and told that they would mate soon, he didn't like this memory and it was quickly replaced by the night of the attack. Hunters filled the woods, wolves were falling everywhere and then he shifted, he had never done it before and he didn't know what to do. Running he ran into the arms of a hunter, his father but not his real father. Then more, the elder young and strong talking to a council of what he thought were elves. They told him of a hidden cache set aside by the pack of sifters that they allied with. When they were destroyed everyone thought Kynthia was the last and they wanted to give her a gift before they too left the land to the humans. Then he watched as they vanished and their keep fell to the humans. Then his memories caught up with the present, then he was again in the tower with Kynthia.

"I remember, I remember everything."

 

[katalynn]

They were one in the same in that very moment, their bodies moving together and she used him as a grounding focus to her raw emotions. They came at the same time as she held onto him tightly, wrapping herself around him like a second skin. She had too many emotions running through her as her own memories ripped into her all at once, she buried her face into his shoulder trying to block them all out. This wasn't the time for such memories, all she wanted to do was forget it all.

She heard what he said after he came down from his climax, her ears laid flat wondering how he felt about her belonging to his brother instead of him. Obviously it's a path that never happened so he shouldn't be to hurt by that idea. It is how the wolves work however, the next in line are normally a mated pair, although all of that is gone and nothing but faded memories.

Kynthia knew nothing about the stash of treasure given to her, since she had ran off before that happened. All her memories revolved around the details of what she already knew, filling the gaps of forgotten pieces to the puzzle.

"I don't wish to remember...."

She squeezed around him tighter and forced herself to focus on him again, pushing all those painful memories to the side. Little shivers ran up and down her spine the more she calmed down, the rush of cold air kissing her back, the sensation of having him still within her as their mixed cum drools from her. He made the pain she felt seem less painful as she focused on his strong embrace.

"I am glad that you remember it all m'love. I apologize I was not there for you back then. I had no way to getting into the village, I had to run.... I.... I was..."

She couldn't look him in the eyes right then and kept her face buried into his shoulder, ears were pinned as more and more details consumed her. The fear she had back then rushed over her and though she has grown out of that fear since then, it still made her heart pound hard. Without how tight she held onto him, she had no doubt that he could feel her racing heart against his chest.

"I will never leave you again... I... Leaving you like I did is unforgivable... abandoning the pack because of my own petty fear.... It's a regret I've never let go of.... I... don't deserve to be forgiven..."

 

[anthilly]

Shhh, Victor touched his finger to her lips, silencing her words.

"You have been forgiven and you claim guilt for crimes you hold none of the guilt for. You didn't know I was in the village, no one did, not even me. If you had came for me you would have been captured and who knows what else."

Feeling the chill of the air fight the heat between them, he pulled a blanket over them, pulling her tight. He felt himself still inside her and her breast pressed against the flat of his chest. He kissed her before continuing.

"You ran because that was the only thing anyone could have done, you survived, you found me, you saved my wolf side and saved me from never knowing myself."

"Kynthia I love you, and I will never allow anything between us. We will raise a new pack from the memories of the old. We will have pups and they will have pups, and they will have pups. They will all look up to you, and see the wonderful woman and wolf I see when I look at you."

Brushing her hair from her face he smiled, pulling her down to him. He could feel her heart, and in beat with his. He knew that they were just separate parts of the same soul and he wanted nothing else but her in that moment. Looking into her eyes, he could feel her love for him and he knew she could feel his.

 

[katalynn]

Kynthia shook her head not wanting to believe the things he was saying, it did catch her off guard a little when he talked about the future. His claim of loving her for some reason really took her by surprise, it was something she wasn't quite ready to hear. Yet, it shouldn't have been such a surprise for her either considering everything else that has been going on, they are a mated pair now after all.

"I abandoned everyone though. I sat back in the trees and watched it all happen like a coward. I should have tried to do something.... anything..."

It was bad enough she fought the urge to break down and with these flashbacks taunting her, that urge was teetering on the edge. In the end however, she held back those tears wanting to be strong instead of weak as she curled up against him under the blanket. Shaking her head again in attempt to remove those flash backs and the memories she worked so hard to forget.

"I.... I love you as well...."

She manage to whisper while closing her eyes in need of some serious sleep. Although she didn't want to sleep and her tail wrapped around them both as if making certain he won't go anywhere.

"I wish to have a pack again, I've missed you and everyone else... Do you think others survived like we did? I haven't found others, but.... finding you... gives me hope again.."

 

[anthilly]

Smiling as Kynthia faded into sleep, she said she loved him, he felt like a young boy again. Getting a unexpected present. She wrapped them in her tail and he smiled, and pulled her into his chest. Whispering into her hear, he kissed her neck.

"I don't know, but if they were we will find them, and they will rejoin our family. Now no more worry about the past, sleep and in the morning all will be new."

He drifted, his dreams were sweet and untroubled for once, now fire or wolves this night. He groaned as the day warmed him, and Lupin spoke his name.

"Sir we found something down below, I think both of you need to come see this."

"Alright Lupin, give us a moment, and we will join you in the great room."

Turning away from the wolf, he kissed Kynthia and nudged her awake.

"Love, we are needed below, and can you understand the pack in our human form?

Wiping the sleep from his eyes, he smiled the must be more of his wolf rejoining him after so long.

 

[katalynn]

Kynthia growled in protest to waking up as she listened to the two of them speaking. In her mind she figured it was just another problem and she grumbled at the idea of waking up to more issues. Not only that, she was starving more than ever now as it took up quite a bit of energy to heal last night.

His question had her giggle for a moment and she shook her head softly while sitting up to look at her blood stained hip.

"I've always been able to understand them. It's the connection to the wolves that allows it. However, speaking to them in their language is a bit more challenging when in human. Just like when I met you, I couldn't talk to you in wolf form. Two very different languages."

After examining her leg and where the wound used to be, she discovered that it wasn't fully healed yet and it was very tender to touch. She sighed a little, looking around the room and couldn't remember how she got here at first, last few hours were a blur of emotions for her. Though, it did catch up to the present time and she recalled leaving the other room they were in before.

"I think I like this room better, it's bigger and not as stuffy.."

Smirked while attempting to stand up, only to find out the wounded leg wasn't quite ready to work for her yet. It was muscle tissue that the bullet went into, then to have him dig into that with the sharp dagger, it'll take a little longer for muscles to heal properly.

"I need food... and a bath. My fur doesn't look good in red."

She tried to lessen the tension of her mood by saying that jokingly and she used the wall for support while taking a step to test the strength of her leg.

 

[anthilly]

Victor rose quickly to catch and support Kynthia, she was stubborn trying to hold onto the wall and he wasn't gonna let her hurt her leg. Picking her up and carrying her.

"Well I couldn't till now, so I find that kinda cool that I don't have to shift anymore to talk to him. Also well then I will tell the pack that this is our room and we will move some things to it for us. Also I like your fur in any color, but if you ever bleed on your fur again I will personally bathe you till you are clean."

He knew she wasn't gonna like being carried and honestly that made him enjoy it even more. Careful not to jostle her he walked slowly. Arriving in the great room he noticed the circle of wolves and Lupin in the center, at his feet were piles of gold and jewels, ornate goblets and chest filled to the brim with treasure. He stood there shocked by the shear mass of it, the pile was easily 3ft high and 10 ft wide. There was more gold here then anyone could ever spend. He smiled and laughed, the packs troubles with the humans were never going to be an issue again. After clearing the village he could offer a small portion of this for the land and easily buy his pack the protection they needed. Lowering Kynthia to the ground, careful with her leg he helped her stand and they turned toward their pack.

"Well, you all have been busy. Lupin, thank you for gathering this together, Is there a room we can put it in and keep it safe? This will help with the plan we put together. I need to bathe and so do you all, we have had a hard first day and night at the castle, today find food, take enough for the entire pack and make sure everyone's wounds are taken care of and we are all rested. The strongest of us will be heading to the village tomorrow, keep our lost in your mind and steel your heart. After tomorrow we will have the rest of our lives to enjoy the land we will earn."

He knew most of the pack didn't know the plan, but he wanted them to know things were going to be taken care of but he kept worrying that he didn't come off as the confident leader he wanted to be.

"I will be at the river, Lupin if I or Kynthia are needed come get me, for the rest of you. Hunt, feast, celebrate the pack's new beginning."

Picking Kynthia up again he walked out the front door, with a short glance to Lupin to make sure everything was ok, the grey wolf nodded and he felt relieved.
Walking to the river with Kynthia in his arms, he kissed her neck and smiled at her.

"So, how was that for an epic speech? Now about that bath."

 

[katalynn]

Being picked up and carried didn't feel right to her and she did grumble a little under her breath in protest, though she didn't fight it too much. Knowing her, the thought of shifting and using the other three legs would have been good enough for her, yet he picked her up before that could happen.

The treasure didn't surprise at all, she knew it was here in the castle considering she knew every part of this castle from her years here. Yet, she had no concept of money or treasures and couldn't understand why he seemed excited about it, after a moment of thinking she figured he can have it all. In reality she still had no real use for it, not that she could think of anyway.

"Your speech was encouraging... Though, I doubt any of them will take a bath. They rarely play in the rivers as it is too close to the humans most the time."

On the way to the river she pointed up stream and told him that there is a hot spring not too far away. It was tucked in a little cove and only the animals really knew about it.

"How will that treasure help you? It's been there since the elves lived here, I guess the humans never found it. Then again, it was hidden pretty well. I have no use for it, so if it helps you, it's yours."

Her ears were twitching at every sound as they walked, listening to her surroundings for any sign of humans. After yesterday she was very paranoid and being in human for in his arms refreshed that weakness she's been feeling lately. She didn't like the idea of leaving the pack alone either. Though, to lighten the mood a little, her ears twitch and she grinned while recalling something he said moments ago.

"I will try to not stain my fur anymore.. But, you do owe me a bath, considering you are the one that stained my fur first."

She stuck her tongue out at him playfully.

 

[anthilly]

Listening to her as He carried her he smiled at her, standing at the edge of the hot spring. He spoke, smiling as kynthia poked her tongue out at him.

"Well the treasure is how I will buy this land and the keep from the Lord of the area. After tomorrow the village will be gone and we will hopefully be the new settlers of the area."

He smiled, before stepping into the pool. Hot water pooling around his calves as he went deeper into the pool the water surrounded his nakedness, he had forgotten to dress this morning, he was become more of the creature he was meant to be he mused. Lowering Kynthia into the bubbling pool he smiled as she floated, her breast half submerged in the water bobbing separate from her body. He playfully pinched her nipple and snapped his teeth at her. He dove into the water, swimming under her, sneaking a peek of her beautiful legs before coming up behind her and kissing her neck.

"Now I think I owe you a bath."

He ran his hands down her back, scrubbing with his palms and clearing her skin of the dirt she had accumulated in the past few days. He frowned at the bruises but he knew they would be short lived and would be gone faster after the bath. He worked down from her shoulders, scrubbing her clean. His hands ran over her shoulder blades then down her spine. When he reached the fur that ran from her tail to her lower back he rubbed in slow circles, massaging and cleaning her under the water. A pink haze filled the water then quickly disappeared, the last remnants of the blood fading into memory as it diluted into the spring. He took careful attention to tail, running it between his fingers cleaning it of any debris and blood. Smiling he began cleaning her thighs, he could feel her heat even through the bubbling water. He ran his hands slowly, washing away the dirt and grim. Massaging as he went easing the muscle tension. His hands found the wound, frowning he kissed her neck and carefully clean around it, before pulling him into and embrace. Her body nestled into him.

"There all clean, now I think it's your turn."

He smiled and kissed her neck, nipping her ear as he held her.

She still didn't fully understand how the treasure will help, he explained it to some degree but even with that, she couldn't grasp how it all worked. After trying to figure it out, she gave up on the idea and ended up just letting him deal with the humans. After everything they have done to her and the wolves, she honestly wanted nothing to do with them. And she really hated the idea that the humans had all the advantage over them, getting shot kind of open her eyes a bit more to the reality of things.

"What is this plan of yours? The humans will never abandon their homes, they have been there for many winters."

She spoke as he proceeded to wash her off and some areas were more tender than she had expected which caused her to flinch at times. He made it all painless and his hands were more than comforting as he lightly massaged the sore muscles. When he reached the wound though, she tensed up a bit more and realizing that it's going to take at least another day for it fully heal.

In the end when he was done, she was fully aroused and she knew that he'd be able to feel it. She's never had anyone give her a bath before, especially another male and those urges she felt also had her cheeks flushing brightly. Soft little whimpers escaped when he finished and told her that it was her turn now. It's also the same on her end, never having to give another adult a bath, let alone a full grown male. Pups were different, but this is also her mate and Alpha now too.... She hasn't really shown any shyness towards him since they met, yet her cheeks were burning from that shyness now.

Some part of her was scolding herself for being shy all the sudden, after all, they have mated a few times now and he has seen more of her than anyone else has in this world. When it came down to it though, Kynthia hasn't seriously touched him that much, hasn't explored his body the way he has hers.

Slowly she reached up for his face and started by washing the remains of blood that his hair held and along the side of his cheek. Just as he did, she took her time roaming her soft, delicate hands over his shoulders and chest while taking in every scar he held. Some of the scars were obvious ones as they were same as a claw marks or teeth bites, others were fairly faded out from when he was child. Each one had their own story as she traced over each and everyone of them.

She's never felt the muscles on a male before, not like this anyway and she traced the contours of those muscles as she washed over them. It also gave her the chance to find special areas that gave the most reactions, though she was careful around his ribs seeing how bruised they were. With some hesitation, her hands found their way to between his legs and here she took the most amount of time.

"Will.... you teach me how to pleasure you? As your mate, I need learn what pleases you and what doesn't."

She looked down, unable to meet his gaze as her ears laid slightly flat. However, she didn't stop what she was doing with her hands, noticing the natural response his body gave her and she loved how it felt in her hands.

"I.... I do not even know that much at all about you. Everything has been happening so fast, I haven't had the chance to learn about you...

 

[anthilly]

She asked about the plan and he almost told her, but he didn't want to spoil the moment with the details, he knew what had to be done, but getting the villagers to leave their town wouldn't happen, there was only one way to ensure the village was empty. Instead he kissed her and let her hands find his face.

Victor relished her small hands following the contours of his muscles, he shivered when she found a new scar, her finger tracing over it her eyes lost in thought. He wondered what she though of his torn and scarred body. He had been cut, stabbed, bitten, clawed, impaled by everything under the sun and the moon, multiple times. Her hands trailed down his chest, then sank beneath the water and her delicate fingers wrapped around him. She was careful, unsure about him. She cleaned him of any dirt and sweat that still clung to him, then she asked the one question he didn't expect. His eyes went wide and he felt the corners of his mouth curl into a smile. He looked down at her, she had her eyes averted, her face flush with embarrassment. He lifted her face with his hands, meeting her eyes. He kissed her, he wanted more but he held back.

"You please me simply by being with me, I have never known happiness with anyone like I have known with you. But as far as a more primal pleasure, what you are doing right now is doing a wonderful job."

He leaned back, reclining on the rocks, he smiled. The spoke softly, clenching his teeth as her hands slid back and forth.

"Just keep doing that, slowly, squeeze me at the base and ease as you get to my tip."

She followed his direction and his body reacted, pushing himself toward her, hips first.

"You can use both hands if you want, touch me anywhere you want. I am yours today."

 

[katalynn]

Kynthia didn't know what she's doing and became very unsure of herself as she kept going. He hadn't answered about what was to happen with the village, in the same note, that worry had faded for the time being. There's nothing but the two of them and what's happening now. She can see that he's enjoying the attention she gave him and though he guided her with what to do, she was still fairly hesitant.

"I wish to learn everything that pleases you. I do not wish to be the cause for any of your stress. Nor do I wish for you to stray because I am no longer pleasing to you."


His words and the kiss from moments ago stayed with her and encouraged her hands to keep moving. Like all things she has faced with in her life, this became another challenge for her to face. The future is always unknown and the past is gone, that's the way she has always lived her life. To face the fears or run away, in this case there is no running away and nor did she want to run.


She started to get a feel for how her hand worked along the length and soon added her other hand, rotating both in a continuous cycle. While she spoke, she kissed over his chest recalling how his mouth felt when he sucked on her nipples. Out of curiosity, she mimicked what he had done to her and took a nipple into her mouth. Naturally she was timid about it and barely flicked her tongue over the hard nipple, until she got a little braver and nipped lightly at it.

"I am the one that should take away your pain and concerns... The one you come home too..."

She spoke softly and yet it's clear that she was searching for her place in all this, coming to realize that she belonged by his side where no one else did. There's a hint of possessiveness in the soft tone, mostly coming from the words she spoke. Without realizing what she's doing, she let the fear fade away and allowed the moment to guide her actions. She nipped and kissed his chest more, paying special attention to each nipple.

One hand kept stroking the length of his cock, while the other one braved its way towards the heavy sack. Kynthia loved how it all felt and savored it all, memorizing exactly how her Mate feels in her hands. She especially enjoyed the sounds that vibrated from his chest, the way he moved gave her some confidence knowing that it was her that is pleasing him.

"I am the only one that should have your seed..."

She whispered the last of her words into his ear while kissing and nipping at his neck. It wasn't easy for her to speak of these things and she knew it would come out as jealousy, perhaps a small part of it was. She didn't know what he did as a human all these years, as far as she knew he had many children out there, perhaps many females that await for his return. Here in the wild however, he was hers and she isn't about to share him anytime soon.

Her cheeks still burned with shyness as she spoke of her feelings, embarrassed with her own actions as her hands massaged him. For a moment she wanted to apologize for what she just said, yet she knew it would defeat the purpose of standing her ground as Alpha. She had no doubt that he could feel and hear the racing heart that pounded against her chest, so unsure of herself.

 

[anthilly]

A soft hiss escaped him as she took his nipple in, they were sensitive and no woman had ever paid them attention. He enjoyed the feel of her teasing him her hands rolling his cock and balls in them. Moaning he tried to focus on her word, but even they held a hidden meaning. He had claimed her, mounted her, filled her, now she was doing the same. He smiled as he realized it.

"Yes my mate, I won't stray from you, with you I need no other. And if you keep doing that this pool will have my seed and not you."

He smiled as he pulled her too him, his kiss was passionate but they were only the fumes of the blaze burning inside him. He wanted her, he needed her. He held her firmly but didn't move to take her. This was her day to build her confidence, and his passion wasn't going to interfere with it.

 

[katalynn]

He said something that perked her ears up out of curiosity. As with all things, she hasn't seriously seen him during his orgasms considering she tends to be in the middle of her own when it happens. When he spoke of the pool getting his seed instead of her, it proved to be a good time to see it all in action. Though she did have to admit that she assumed the male could only cum inside of a female, which made this an even more intriguing moment for her.

"I don't think the pool will mind... It isn't like it can breed with your seed."

She teased while working harder to make him cum. With his guidance she became a little more confidence with the pressure she applied to his sac, never enough to hurt him. Even without his guidance, she liked the reactions she got and that alone urged her to keep going.

After a moment she pulled back a bit so she can watch what happens when he came, wanting to see the seed spill from her mate. Her curiosity took over her arousal, determined to pleasure her mate in every way possible.

 

[anthilly]

Her hands worked him, she seemed to know exactly how to please him. His cock was throbbing, his balls tightened and her fingers worked them. He moaned as he arched his hips and cock raising out the water. His orgasm hit him hard, he cam shooting his cum into the pool. He cam for a seemingly eternity, eventually the cum simply coated his cock and her hand as his cock finished twitching with the force of his orgasm. He sighed and leaned back, moaning he barley was able to think. She had pushed him to his max, but he longed for her. He needed her. He waited for her to speak, she was looking at his cum her hand and he wondered what she would do.
