Wolf’s Bane

Lyon being so sure of himself was, nevertheless, not enough reassurance for an almost panicky Hero who was now trying his best to hold his emotions under control as he had done so many years before. However, he was now noticing, to his absolute chagrin, that his coldness would go out the window every time the situation was about his mate.

“So… finally alone, huh?” Alicia said, nervous and blushing as she sat on the bed.

“Mm-hmm,” was the sole response that she got from the tall, broad-shouldered man in front of her.

Alicia couldn’t help but smile then, for him looking so vulnerable. She looked up at her worried mate, standing almost unmoving and yet, glancing at the door as if he was planning to run away, and smiled at him.

For a moment, she remembered when he saved her and she saw him for the first time, his wide shoulders and marked muscular back that she had loved to sink her nails into. The few days in which the only thing they did was to make love were still so recent and fresh in her memory…

The way his hands grabbed and held her…

And his lips ran up and down her bare body…

Just with that memory, she could feel her body getting hot…

Wanting him… passionately… hungrily…

As soon as he perceived the smell of her arousal, his concerns and doubts, and even the world around him started to fade.

Soon he was kneeling down in front of her, pushing her dress up and her panties down, and she looked at him with a lustful smirk in anticipation.

He opened her legs and tasted her, and then hungrily jumped on top of her, grabbing the front of her dress and tearing it apart and desperately attacking her breasts, making her tremble and moan.

The three people on the other side of the door could hear what the two mates were now starting and knowingly smiled at each other.

“Maybe we should wait a bit further away,” Helena said with a smirk, to which the doctor and her mate agreed. They walked a few meters away, finally stopping and standing where they could still see the door, but not hear the “action” taking place inside.

Meanwhile, Alicia was now riding her man.

She sat on top of him and moved her hips fast front and back, very close to her climax, and he’s reactions were now getting wilder and wilder. She could tell that his wolf was almost fully in control, not only because his eyes were his wolf’s color now, but because of the way he tightly held her.

More raw…

More violent…

And she was definitely liking it… a lot…

“I’m almost… ah… ALMOST!” she screamed. “HEROOO!”This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

He wildly hugged her, threw her down back to the bed and started moving fast, going deep and hard into her…

Feeling her walls tightly holding his manhood…

Smelling her body scent…

Hearing her loud moans…

Until he couldn’t hold it anymore.

Right then and there, he embraced her tightly against him and bit her shoulder, right where his mark was supposed to be.

He bit her hard, right at the same time they both came.

And the pleasure they felt was truly intense, hitting them with the explosion of a supernova.

When they were done, and as they slowly descended from their peak, he licked the small amount of blood that came out of the bite and hugged her, while gently kissing her.

Now his ebony eyes looked lovingly and worriedly into her gray-greenish eyes.

“I’ll help you get dressed and then will call the others,” he said, getting up from the bed and checking out the robe for her and the very thin hospital pants and shirt that was opened in the back for him, with a light smile.

His thoughts: Wearing this might not be as bad as I thought. Well, this whole shifting thing may turn out ok, after all.

Hero got dressed and when he turned back to help her, she was lying still and silent on the bed. Her naked body was covered in sweat and her eyes were staring absently at a point in the ceiling,

He spoke too soon, apparently…

“Alicia!” the Ogre exclaimed, not noticing that his voice was loud enough to make the three people waiting for them outside to rush inside the room.

“Okay, she’s reacting already. Let’s get her dressed, Hero,” Helena ordered as she hurried inside, speed walking towards the nude lady on the bed.

“Y… yes…” was all the worried mate could say, shocked at seeing his beloved going through the first stages of pain, while moving towards her with the robe that was still in his hands.

“Please let me check her,” the doctor said, starting to connect all the machines to Alicia’s body.

“You can take him for some food, Virgil, he will need it, especially since he’s not going to sleep. We’ll be right here with her and whatever happens, I’ll mindlink you so you can come back when needed,” Helena commanded, while still busy dressing up Alicia.

The two men obeyed and left the room, although not without some effort since Hero was reluctant to leave his mate’s side. Finally, the two friends were on their way out of the medical area.

“Bro… I know this can’t be undone anymore… I just… damn, she was okay a minute ago,” Hero murmured as they walked into the Dining area.

“I know, but it’s a good thing that she’s reacting this soon. That means that enough ‘venom’ was put into her system,” Virgil said, serious and thoughtful. “Nice job, bro.”

“Thanks? I don’t know… I hope you’re right, bro…”

“I am, don’t worry… Besides that, it might even go… well… You won’t like it, but this process might become… stronger, but that means it can end sooner…” V tried to reassure H as they found a table for them to enjoy their meal.

“I don’t know what I prefer now…. If slow and less painful, or fast and more painful. If it was me, I wouldn’t give a damn, but bro… it’s her…”

“I know bro… your mate becomes your soft spot but also your strength… I’m really happy that you found her, even if you had to… uh… kidnap her to save her…”

“Yeah, I don’t care being a kidnapper if that means she’ll be safe with me.”

“Don’t let Helena hear you, or instead of Mr. Wall, you’ll be called ‘the kidnapper’ instead.”

A small smile showed up on Hero’s face, and only in that place, with this particular person, could he smile in such a serious situation.

“Damn you, V… You can joke at a time like this?”

“I’m just telling the truth,” Virgil smirked. “I know my mate that well.”

“Yeah, sure,” Hero smirked back and focused on the plate of food that was brought by one of the servers and placed in front of him a few minutes earlier.

Admittedly, they both had been playing with their food for quite a while already. Considering the situation they were in, they couldn’t really be blamed for this.

They tried finishing their dinner quickly and, besides the ‘kidnapper’ talk, remained in complete silence even as they walked back to the hospital room.

When the Ogre entered the door, the bed was empty, and his heart almost stopped beating completely.

Hero and V looked at each other with sudden concern and even alarm.

“We’re here!” Helena said from the bathroom.

Both men rushed in, almost running.

Alicia was lying in the bathtub.

There was a towel on her forehead, and her hair was wet now, with water as much as with her sweat. Her eyes were closed then, and she was as pale as Hero had been during the short moment that the “ritual” had been in progress.

“Alicia… beloved, can you hear me?” Hero said barely in a whisper, kneeling by her side and dipping his hand in the very cold water to hold her equally icy fingers.

As he noticed the temperature of the water, he looked at Helena.

And she answered him as if knowing what he was thinking, “We needed to lower her temperature. It was raised sooner than I thought. She’s tough. For now, we’re allowing her body to cool down, and the cold is helping her with the pain so she’s resting a little. Unfortunately, we can’t use painkillers or sedatives so nothing interferes with the process… but I’m pretty sure she will be okay.”

“I’m fine,” Alicia said, barely opening her eyes while showing her mate a small attempt at a smile.

“Shhh… My beloved mate, please rest while you can,” Hero said, smiling back at her, feeling proud of how strong she was, and completely broken for not being able to take the pain from her.

He realized that she was going through all this for him.

To be with him…

Of course, he would devote his life to her and in making her happy.

About one hour later, Alicia had started to shake and they had to carry her out of the cold bath back to the bed, where Hero hugged her as they got under a thick blanket to balance her temperature,

Then not long after, she would start screaming in excruciating pain.

Hero, by her side in the bed, could hear how her bones cracked and re-adjusted into their sockets, how her muscles got tight and trembled. He could only hold her tight, and, with tears in his eyes, reassured her with soft whispers that he was there and would never leave her side.

He would never let anything happen to her.
