Blood Legacy Chapter 92: 90. Little she-wolf

Her breath came out in harsh and fast puffs, her small body cutting through the air like a whizzing bullet as she ran with a sickening desperation.

She was fucked. Completely and utterly fucked.

From the very second her wolf had taken that dooming and rash decision she knew that they screwed up. Both of them. Her for failing to hold control on that cornered little animal within her and her beast for giving in to instinct so easily.

She'd panicked. So she acted. And now look what was about to happen.

She'd just signed her death sentence.

She wanted to cry and scream. Maybe even let her wolf sing her sorrow to the skies.

But there was no time for that. Not when a massive, four hundred pound beast was chasing after her with the promise of violence written all over his face.

Fuck.

She pushed herself harder, begging for her muscles to obey her and work their best to keep her as far as possible away from him and that for as long as she could, her lungs starting to burn as she ran and ran...

*Please...*

She whimpered, too scared to find out what would happen if she slowed down for just a little bit to catch her breath.

*He would catch us.*

And after that, only the Goddess knew what would happen to them. Both her and her poor little lone wolf.

*No...*

She felt small tears prickling at the corners of her wolf's eyes, the helpless little animal letting out pained and fear-ridden little whines as she so desperately fought not to be caught...

She made the grave mistake to look over her shoulder and her front paw immediately stumbled over a raised root, suddenly finding herself violently rolling over the lumpy forest floor quite a few times from all that gained momentum, her vision spinning in sync with her head. Everything hurt. Her ribs, her head. But it didn't matter.

There was one thing left for her to do.

Dizzy and shaking from all that exhaustion and fear, she didn't waste a single second to gather her bearings and immediately rose up to her four legs as soon as she was done stumbling away, her hackles rising with apprehension.

It didn't take long for the hulking beast that was chasing her to appear in her line of sight, her canines baring as she let out a warning snarl.

*I may be small but you don't want to mess with me. I will not go down without a fight*, her stance seemed to say as she dug her paws into the leafy soil, ready to take a bite out of the oncoming threat.

But the male didn't seem all that impressed. If anything, he appeared to be rather enthralled by all that chasing, his tongue darting out to lick his snout with delight and anticipation as he watched her with heated interest.

*You're mine*, his glowing golden eyes seemed to say.

His red and throbbing member was already out of its protective membrane, twitching with every slow and deliberate step he took in her direction. He was too riled-up. And he wanted to mate. He would mate with her one way or another. She was his. His female. His and only his.

She let out another snarl and snapped her jaws in his direction, warning him to stay away. But he wouldn't yield. He'd caught his prey. Won his prize. And now he was about to savor the goods.

But she became more and more agitated with every passing second, growling and snapping her jaws at him until he was so close to pouncing on her, the poor little female letting out a frightened yelp as she jumped out of the way at the very last moment.

They played that same game for another few moments, the tiny female slipping from his paws for a few more times until he lastly grew tired of trying to catch her.

And with a powerful nudge he shoved her to the ground, making her let out another frightened yelp. The male then climbed on top of her, holding her trapped between his massive paws as she started to cry and whimper from underneath him, trying to make herself as small as possible.

*Please don't do this to us...* the little female cried out in unison with the human nestled at the very back of her mind, shaking and giving out the faintest struggles, those of a deeply-wounded or dying animal as that large tongue found its way to her wet little heat, lapping up its delicious juices.

*Why? You are ours. Our gift from the Goddess. And we are yours. We belong together. Your wet heat was made for my throbbing rod. We were paired to mate by the Goddess herself...* she immediately stilled at the sound of that rough and very animal-like voice entering her mind, shocking the living days out of her. Until that wet and hot tongue licked at her slit again, making her tremble.

*B-because I'm scared...* she forced herself to respond, grasping at that invisible connection that had just started to form between them with everything she had. She had to stop him. She couldn't let him do this to her.

*I'm scared of you, and I don't want to do this...right now...* she tentatively whispered into that place within her mind where she could feel his faint presence, her golden eyes finding his as he paused, tilting his head to peer at her. Good. At least she'd drawn his attention enough to make him stop. For a moment.

*You shouldn't be scared of me. I am your male. I would never hurt you...I will always protect you...* her heart pumped with alarm as he lowered his snout back to that special place underneath her tail, giving it another caring lick.

*But you are scaring me right now, and you will hurt me, because I am not willing..*. she fought against her natural instincts with everything she had as her body started to demand that she lay on her belly and offer herself to her mate, her fear of him hurting her and placing his mating mark on her neck without her consent overpowering any trace of lust lingering within her.

*Then why did you make me chase you? I thought you wanted to mate...* he raised himself and sat back, curiously peering down at her.

*Because I got scared, okay?* She pushed back with annoyance, surprised that she could be so bold and...strong. Never in her wildest dreams had she ever dreamt that she would be strong enough to hold her own ground, let alone try and tame such a feral beast that was her own mate.

Nevertheless, she had to keep going. She couldn't give in. Not right now when she seemed to have somehow gotten through to him...

*But I could...smell your mating pheromones..*. he grumbled, taking another whiff of her delicious smell. She was telling the truth though. He could feel now that she really did smell of fear too.

*The stupid humans did it!* She growled with frustration, earning herself a shove and a grumble from the human within.

Oh, shut up. You know you did it.

*Stupid humans...* he repeated in agreement with that grungy and scary voice of his, the little she-wolf using that momentary distraction to her advantage as she pulled back a little.

*You don't...want this?* He seemed almost unsure.

*Not right now...* she didn't want to somehow upset him though.

*But when?*

*Maybe later...* Or never. Yeah. Most definitely never. She'd just seen what he was packin'. Up and close. Way too close for comfort. She didn't want that anywhere near her anytime soon.

*Okay...* Okay?!? Just like that? Almighty Goddess, she was a very lucky wolf indeed.

*Will you stay with me for a little while longer? Please don't let your human take you away from me. I can already feel mine fighting to regain control. I will let him calm, show him that you are safe...he keeps yelling that I'm hurting you and that we'll lose you...* his head tilted forwards, sitting there and watching her as she carefully pulled herself back and stood on her own four legs.

She would smile if she could. He looked so innocent right now, staring back at her with that pleading gaze. Almost like a cute little pup.

*More like a four hundred pound monster pup*, her human chimed in from the sidelines, but she chose to ignore her.

Maybe he did still scare the crap out of her, but he at least deserved the benefit of the doubt. He did stop after all. And how he did that, she had absolutely no idea, since all wolves usually tended to let themselves led by instinct. It was unheard of, what he just did. He made a choice to stop, instead of just letting nature take its course. He went against his very being, what he was at his very core. For her.

*Okay...I'll stay...But only if you promise not to try and mate with me again..*. she sat down on her rump in a conceding gesture, her small and cute snout so high up in the air as she peered up at the giant monster that was her mate.

*Okay...* he then approached and lowered his head to rub it against hers into an affectionate gesture, the poor little wolf almost getting knocked off of her legs as he was so large and heavy.

*So small and frail you are, little mate...* he said, curling himself up around her as he sat down, waiting for her to snuggle up against his belly.

*Or maybe you are too big...* she retorted, hearing him snort as she lowered herself and curled up into a tiny and sandy-blonde ball of fur against his ribs, his comforting heat enveloping her like a cocoon.
