The night air was still as Nakita honed in on what was coming. The light from the almost full moon let her eyes see deep into the woods.
Josh saw them first and he immediately shifted into Trenton knowing that it was a pack of wolves he mindlinked Mark and Alpha Giest who shifted and ran to them from camp.
Josh, Mark, Rhonda, Sabrina, Alpha Giest and his warriors all stood shoulder to shoulder as this pack of wolves showed themselves to them.
There was about 25 wolves that followed one big black wolf out of the woods. The moonlight glisenting off their damp coats. The odvious leader stopped about 50 feet from Nakita. Him and her locked eyes and then she heard him in her mindlink.
"My Queen." He bowed as did the rest of his crew. "How long we have awaited your return." He stood back up on his front legs.
Nakita noticed her staph had appeared in her hand and it had a black light glowing within it. She picked up her staph that was floating in mid-air and walked toward the wolf looking at her. Trenton was right next to her in protection mode. She laid her hand on his coat to calm him as they walked to greet the strangers.
"You know me?" Nakita asked him through everyone's mindlink hoping to help decrease the tension.
"I do." His voice was that of an old man gruff and soft. "You are my Queen that I have sworn an oath to protect."
"I have never been here before." Nakita challenged him.
"You have, My Queen. Many moons ago you chased the evil ones into the stars and sealed the portal." He looked over his right shoulder. "I am sorry to report but the portal has failed."
"How so?" She asked.
"With each eclipse of the moon there is a power given to the evil demons on the other side and they have used that power to break down the portal barrier over the 800 years you have been gone." He paused taking a ragged breath. "The last true eclipse many of them made it through the portal barrier before the moon was able to close it again."
They just looked at each other as if to study one another. The silence between them and the heaviness of the words he had said made others shift their weight. The moon was bright and highlighted everything that glisened with dew all around them.
"Come, sit by the fire. Share a meal with us." Nakita stated after a bit.
"We would be honored but we cannot shift to our human forms." The old wolf said.
"Do you have a spell upon you?" Mark asked. He knew what his Mother had taught him over the years and often when a werewolf is stuck in their wolf form it is because of a spell.
The old wolf looked toward him, with a surprised look in his eyes. "I see you have a storykeeper with you." He paused looking at Mark in his wolf form. "I am glad you found her to help guide her. The first time around was a first for all of us and this time we hope to get it right. She needed to know just enough to keep her on the right track."
Mark was stunned to learn he was SUPPOSE to know this stuff. He had always thought that his mom was a litte on the batty side for being so obessed with folklore that didn't end up being folklore.
"Yes, we are under a spell." He broke Marks thoughts. " 'The Master' as they call him, was very strong once he got in but only had a limited amount of time to find a host. In those initial moments he turned us all into our wolf forms and we have not been able to shift back."
"How long have you been like this?" Josh asked.
"The better part of 25 years. This eclipse will be 25 years." You could hear the sadness in his voice.
With that Nakita noticed that her staff was glowing black telling her to bring it forward. With that she held up her staph to show it to the moon and then you could see the black mist swirl inside. She slowly brought it down and touched the old wolf on the head with it and the black mist weaved its way around him and then spreading out to all of his men, 20 in all. They were all engulfed by this now large black cloud that started spinning around them. You could feel the air movement as the wind inside grew more and more. Once in a while you saw a tail or shoulder to the wolves inside and the wind was blowing their fur all around. Then everything stopped. Silence rang in their ears as the cloud hung over the wolves that it had englufed.
As the black mist faded away and the moonlight reclaimed the area all the wolves were gone. It took a moment to realize that they had been changed to men that were strewen about the meadow. They all stood up one by one feeling a little sick and dizzy. As they realized they had their human forms back jubliation echoed through out the men. They stood on two legs naked as the day the were born dancing with excitement that the spell had finally been broken.
One man approached them, he was older than the rest with long gray hair a bit past his shoulders. His eyes were a friendly blue that looked as if he was laughing or knew something you didn't know. He went down on one knee bowing his head "My Queen." His men followed suit and you heard a resounding "My Queen."
The fire was warm and large as everyone gathered and food was handed out by the villagers. Nakita seemed to have an army on her side now. She had been so alone all her life, so comfortable with solitude and seemingly invisible and now here she was sitting on this makeshift throne with her mate by her side and all these people following her. She hoped she was not leading them to their deaths. She felt a tiny little swirl in her stomach, like a little butterfly. She smiled to herself certain there was a future in store for all of them and pushed aside her doubts.
MaryBeth and Edward
Edward pulled MaryBeth away from the fire. He had set up a tent just for them. It was pretty primative but it was all he had at his disposale.
"When we return home I will make a room for a queen." He smiled at her and she could feel her heartbeat quicken with his look.
"Anything that has you in it is good enough for me." She laid down the blanket that was on the ground. The fresh night air was so intoxicating to her or maybe it was him. She had never dared to even think about a moment like this after everything she went through. She was not really sure what kept her alive this whole time. It wasn't like she had much to live for. The same four walls, the same beating and tortures almost daily. With no end in sight, no hope of being 'saved'. Now as she looked at her mate who was crawling in next to her and she could hardly believe it.
"Oh, you will believe this." He pulled up next to her and kissed her. At first it was gentle and sweet but it grew in passion and desire. He caressed the back of her neck pulling her closer to him, it was touch she knew well. Sometime she felt in her dreams. She came up for air and looked at him. His eyes full of want and desire, her heart fluttered and something moved inside of her that she hadn't felt in a very long time.
His hand slid limbly down her body stopping to caress her breast and then proceeded toward her pants. She felt her heart quicken even more and her arousal was premating the tent as his hand made its way to her sweet spot. She opened her legs even more for him as his fingers entered her and found her G-spot. He moved from kissing her lips to gliding down her neck where he licked her mark. He felt the goose bumps on her body as he did it.
"I can't take it anymore." She pushed herself on top of him and slowly kissed his chest, his navel, unbuttoned his pants with her teeth as she looked at him playfully.
She pulled his pants down releasing his member for her to take all the way in her mouth. It filled her physically and emotionally as her tounge danced around the tip and she would take it all in teasing him.
"My turn" He pulled her up on top of him and kissed her. Tasting him inside her mouth made him want to do nasty things to her.
He laid her on her back and slid her pants off and then slid her shirt off. He wanted to feel all of her under him. As his weight came down on her she wrapped her legs around him begging for him. He teased her for a moment and then started to enter her.
She was so wet and tight to him that he almost didn't make it all the way without climaxing. He had to go slow for his own sake. He worked her a little bit at a time and he could feel her pulsating around his c**k, asking for more trying to pull him in.
Suddenly, he was on his back and she took him all the way in as they both exploded with a climax. She didn't let him slow down, she kept grinding into him as she dripped his seed all over.
He looked up at her and saw some familiar eyes. They were dark and sultry and oh so sexy to him. He took her by the hips and rolled her over sitting up on his knees, he held her legs apart and he drilled into her and just as she was going to climax again he rubbed her c**t with his thumb, hard. He kept pushing all the way as he kept the pressure on her c**t.
He could see her entire body start to shake, he didn't let up. She started to let out a scream as her entire body gave into him. Gave into what he could do to her, even after all this time apart. She let it all out and he pushed harder until he was sure she was done.
Her body lay infront of him, with her legs spread and he was still inside her. Her body shaking in response to his movement. Her breathing labored and her eyes closed.
He loved her just as the moment he had met her. He loved her, he loved to see her laying there knowing he could do that to her.
