Beast World

Chapter 20 – Lion or Tiger

After a hunt and finding some new furs for Charlotte as he heard hers getting ripped Derik headed into the now quiet cave. Charlie lay asleep on the furs in the arms of Arron who was watching her intently. Still in his tiger form Derik lay next to Charlie gently winding his tail around her leg securely. Instinctively she must have known Derik was there, even in her sleep she moved closer to his body latching onto a paw and holding it tightly in her arms like a teddy. A satisfied little growl left Derik causing Arron to scowl at him as he tightened his hold on Charlotte causing her to shift and make a noise. Arron and Derik instantly froze not wanting to wake her from her sleeping state.

Derik phased to human form pulling a fur blanket to cover his manhood. “We leave at first light for the Stone Tribe.”, Arron agreed knowing Derik wanted to put as much Distance between Charlotte and Tantore as possible, and so did he to be honest. If they stayed in the Water Tribe it would only be a matter of time before he came for her.

“Where did you find her?” Arron didn’t like Derik, but he wanted to know everything about his little princess.

Derik didn’t respond for a long time while staring at Charlie he released a deep breath. “She found me when I was hunting, a male from Earth was with her. He hurt her and I killed him”. Derik looked torn, but Arron would find out anyway as unhappy as he was at the second male now in the family. “She has been hurt in Earth, she has not spoken about it yet. Don’t force her when you see, it will upset her”.

“See what?” Arron threw back not liking the indirectness.

“Her back”, Derik replied before taking a hand of Charlies in his own and closing his eyes not intending to sleep, but so he had an excuse to no longer speak to Arron. Derik felt movement in Charlie and the mattress knowing Arron was trying to look at her back. Even in the darkness beast men had perfect sight. A low fearsome growl left Arron as he saw the barrage of scars covering his princesses lower back. He couldn’t even count them she had been hit or cut so many times. His thoughts drifted to think about what kind of life she may have lived in Earth.

Charlotte woke to find the strong arms of Arron circling her body, while her hand was in the grasp of Derik who was laying in front of her. It was surprising to her how easily she could recognise their touches and scents. What she didn’t realize is that they were both awake and staring her intently. It was pitch black, but she needed to use the little girl’s room. Literally the worst thing about this place was the lack of facilities. Wiggling herself free from Arron’s arms she moved towards Derik’s scent and whispered, “Derik, are you awake?” she squeezed his hand gently that was still holding hers.

“What’s the matter Charlie?”

Charlotte jumped at the immediate response. “umm I need to go to the toilet and I have no clothes”. Getting used to the way she spoke he knew exactly what she meant, a smile flashing on his face. Arron was not impressed with Charlotte asking Derik to help her, however he had no clue what she was talking about. He continued to watch her so he could help her with this in the future. Derik lifted Charlotte from the bed, lingering while he held her against his naked form. Both men could smell her arousal from Derik’s simple touch. Jealousy once again pulsed through Arron, this little girl was going to kill him. He had never been attached to anything and with not even one day he was completely obsessed and at her mercy.

Derik placed a kiss on her forehead before pulling a fur over her head so she was covered. Then picked her up carrying her out of the cave. Before setting her down Derik wrapped another fur around her shoulders concerned about her getting cold. “I’ll be back in two minutes to get you”.

Arron watched from the cave entrance now understanding then what she needed. The sun was just starting to peak on the horizon. Quickly making a bowl of porridge for Charlotte so she could eat upon her return, so they could leave. It had only been a few minutes when Derik walked back in with little Charlotte nestled in his arms looking quite contented.

Charlie ate half the bowl, she was starting to eat more Derik thought happily. Arron didn’t look impressed, “Charlotte you need to eat more, you will starve. Do you want something else?” Charlotte flinched at the harsh tone from Arron, causing Derik to growl in warning at him.

“I am full, thankyou for breakfast”. She let a small smile drift across her face as she looked into Arron’s blue eyes. Faltering at just her smile he nodded before walking towards her to carry her out of the cave as it was time to go. Derik seeing her uneasiness and the fact that he didn’t like Arron touching her moved quickly claiming her first. Arron fisted his hands at his side in anger, at the lost opportunity.

“Charlie, we need to return to the Stone tribe. Like this we will be too slow, I want you to climb on my back when I change”. Charlotte nodded in understanding, however gulped audible remembering last time when she fell from Ebson’s back. Both men could sense her uneasiness. Derik and Arron both phased.

Charlotte kept her eyes on Derik until she realized she didn’t even know what kind of animal Arron was. Her interest peeked she turned to look over at Arron, her eyes widened in disbelief. He was a white lion, he stood shoulder to shoulder with Derick. They were both massive, Arron shook his giant head causing his pure white main to fly around rapidly. Charlotte had an urge to reach out and touch it, would it be soft or course she thought to herself.
