“That’s right, Red. Cum for me. Allow that pleasure to rock your body. Coat my shaft with your juices.”
I didn’t need his command to obey. My body acted on feeling alone. Just as a deep, powerful wave of energy vibrated through my pussy, I heard Rood release a low, primal groan that blended with my own sounds of completion.
Rood pulled me back enough that he could nibble on my neck, his deep breathing tickling the hairs around my ear. He whispered, “You are far more powerful than any dark force the villagers fear. With that simple act, you nearly slayed me, Red.” He released a deep breath and turned his nibbles into soft kisses. “Slayed me far more than any sword could do.”
CHAPTER 5
Rood held me in his arms by the fire, feeding me the berries I had refused to eat earlier one by one. In what truly was an act of kindness, Rood had first placed a berry in his mouth and ate one before he had expected me to. The fierce intensity of the amber in his eyes had dissipated as he had done so. I no longer saw the animalistic nature of before, but instead saw a protective and nurturing one. The other men went about their business around camp as they had once done, but Rood had remained with me, offering his warmth and affection. The polar opposite in actions had my mind spinning, yet I was not going to argue or resist in any way. Not because I was afraid of what would happen if I did so, but because I truly was enjoying every minute of his time.
It was Grimm who eventually broke my spell of comforting delight. “Men,” he said harshly.
Rood’s body tensed, and his fingers dropped the berry that he was about to put into my mouth. I could hear and feel him inhale deeply. I could see all the men stop what they were doing and lift their noses to the air, all smelling the cool forest air. I sat upright, tense as well, but couldn’t smell or see anything. The only thing I did notice was that the sounds of the forest ceased. An eerie silence took hold, and I knew what that meant. It could only mean one thing. The calm before the worst kind of storm.
“It’s coming,” Helm announced. “I can smell it…The dark force is near.”
“The village. The dark force is going to attack the village now,” Beo added.
All the men turned to look at me as Rood quickly rose to standing. He picked me up before I could even process what truly was happening and carried me into the depths of the cave. “You stay here,” he ordered. “You’ll be safe here. But no matter what, do not leave this spot. Do you hear me? Do not leave this spot.”
He didn’t wait for a response but turned and joined the others instead. In an instant, I was left alone in an empty cave with only the howls of the wolves in the distance.
Running to the entrance of the cave, I frantically searched for any signs of the men. There was no trace of them, not that I truly expected there would be. In the short time it had taken for me to reach the mouth of the cave, they were gone. Reaching for my clothing and dressing as quickly as I could, I tried not to overthink what I was about to do. Yes, I should stay like Rood ordered. Breaking his order would surely lead to punishment, but…
No! I should run.
This was my time to escape. They were all gone, and I could safely be out of reach before they returned but…but I couldn’t just leave. Was it the dark force pulling me toward them? Was this a trap that would end in my death? Whatever the answer was, I couldn’t resist running full speed toward the sounds of the howls, the growling, and the high-pitched hissing sound that I remembered to be that belonging to the dark force when it would come close to the village. I could hear the men so well. Why could I hear them so well?
The shrill call of the dark force soon was joined by the warning bells of my nearby village. I didn’t have to be in the belly of the town square to know that everyone was scattering to seek shelter. A call to arms was not needed, for we all knew the only ones who could beat the dark force were the wolves. All we could do is hide and weather the storm until the piercing sound of evil and the howls of the wolves vanished.
Just before reaching a large clearing, I froze as I saw the men…the wolves. They had all changed into the wolves the villagers spoke of—the wolves I had originally expected to see—but the wolves I had yet to see. They had become beasts with thick fur coats, claws, fangs, muscled flanks, and those fierce amber eyes I had grown to almost understand in each one of them. They all were already in full battle against a dense, black, fog-like element laced with an evil green. A foul stench burned my nostrils and made my eyes water, but that was nothing compared to the sharp screams of the darkness that forced me to cover my ears in protection. The hissing grew even louder as it seemed the wolves were winning the battle with their large paws clawing at the thick black swirling vapor. With every bite from the wolves’ massive jaws, or slice with their sharp claws, the blackness pierced the sky with the most wretched sound imaginable.
