Well here it is, part 2. Sorry its been so long, been having trouble finding time to write in between my university work and been having trouble with internet service providers too. Still never mind, here it is now and for all of you who have been patiently waiting you will be happy to know I have finished part 3 and will be posting it up today as well (or at least submitting it, whether it gets posted is dependant on yiffstar). 2 parts on the same day, aren't I generous, besides you deserve it for having to wait so long. One more thing before you get stuck into the story, I received some messages in relation to my last story that some of the names for my characters are not as original as I thought. I would like to take this opportunity to apologise to anyone this may effect but also say that all the characters in the story are, to the best of my knowledge, original. All names etc are thought up in my own head when I am writing (with the exception of Fenra who has been my fursona for many years) so I am sorry if the names or characters end up clashing with those of other authors, it is purely coincidental.

Oh also disregard what I put above my last story about not writing without proper feedback, that was stupid and besides I am to invested in the characters and this story to stop just because of low feedback. I have the full direction and contents of the story in the long term in my head but I wont spoil it by saying any more. But please feel free to comment or email me if you want to. P.S. Story, contents and characters all © to me as are the rights to editing and rewriting.

Part 2 - Same troubles, new locations

Fenra stared on, an orange glow filled the street, flames licked at the night sky. People ran, shouting, carrying buckets of water, its contents spilling over the sides as their feet crossed the stony ground. Stone and wood work collapsed with heavy crashing sounds.

"Why?" growled an angry masculine voice beside him.

"I... I..." stammered Fenra, struggling to find his words, his gaze fixed upon the site in front of him.

"Answer me you son of a bitch!" yelled the voice once more.

Fenra simply stared forth as the flames leaped ever higher.

"Look at me damn it!" it yelled once more.

Fenra turned and looked at his fathers face, his jaw was clenched, the flames reflecting in his eyes.

"I'm.... sorry" said Fenra.

"Sorry.... is that all you have to say.... sorry" he yelled angrily, "sorry will not undo the damage done here!" grabbing the collar of Fenra's shirt, drawing back his fist.

"No... don't!" called a feminine voice behind his father.

"Father please" pleaded Fenra but his fist came swinging towards Fenra's face and connected with his cheek......

Fenra awoke with a start, sweating and breathing heavily. His eyes adjusted to the morning light flittering through the window and the world slid into focus. He stared at the ceiling for a moment as his thoughts caught up with him, he remembered where he was now, he felt the sofa beneath him, yes he defiantly knew where he was now, Larka's apartment. He sat up and rubbed the sleep out of his eyes. He could see his clothes and Larka's strewn over the floor, he could hear the soft sound of a running shower coming from the back of the apartment and Larka's soft voice humming from behind the bathroom door.

He ran a paw over his head, yawned and stretched, then made his way around the apartment gathering his and Larka's clothes together. He folded them as neatly as he could, although they were so creased and crumpled after the last nights events it almost seemed pointless. After gathering the clothes he placed his on the arm of the sofa and carried Larka's over to the bathroom door.

"Larka" he said, knocking on the door.

"Yes?" she replied.

"I've put your clothes outside the bathroom door ok" he said.

"Ok, I should be finished soon" she said "Sorry its taking a while, just got rather dirty last night" at this she let out a soft chuckle

"No problem" said Fenra smiling to himself.

He went to sit back on the sofa when something glittering in the morning sun caught his eye. He looked over at the kitchen worktop and saw Larka's paw print necklace laying there. He walked over, picked it up and examined it. Despite being made of what looked like solid silver it was surprisingly light. He ran a claw over its surface and over the smooth jewel in the centre of the paw print shape. He was so entranced by it that he did not notice that Larka had left the bathroom and was now standing outside it, water dripping softly from her damp fur, the water turning it smooth as velvet, a towel wrapped round her body. She smiled as she saw Fenra staring at her necklace like a child who had just found a shiny coin.

"It was my mothers" she said, this awoke Fenra from his trance, he jumped at the sound of her voice, fumbled with the necklace clumsily and put it back on the worktop.

"I was just looking at it" he said hastily, his voice sounded like that of a child who had just been caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Larka laughed and he simply blushed.

"She gave it to me just before she died" said Larka, approaching Fenra's side and picking up the necklace. "She said it had been passed to every female in her family line for generations"

Her eyes glazed over as she spoke, her gaze transfixed on the small necklace in front of her.

"She died when I was very young, and so I was raised by my father alone" she said "this is one of the few memories I have of her"

"It must be very special to you" said Fenra, putting an arm around her.

"Yes it is" she said "whenever I've felt down or lonely I just look at it and it makes me feel better"

Fenra looked curiously at the small piece of jewellery in her paw, the way she handled it so delicately, its odd how people can form such strong connections to things he thought.

Larka looked at Fenra and saw his curious gaze "Here" she said, turning the necklace over and removing a small piece of it from the back. Within it was a piece of paper, it was folded over many times and was only about as wide as her finger. She passed it to Fenra, he unfolded it and looked at what was written on it. On one side was a single word written in slightly rough handwriting which barely fit on the paper.

"Love" he read it out loud and looked at Larka curiously.

She simply smiled and took the piece of paper back from him, folding it delicately and placing it back inside the necklace.

"What does... " Fenra started

"That's a story for another day" interrupted Larka smiling at him with a playful glint in her eye, Fenra stood there dumbfounded until Larka spoke again which drew him back from his thoughts "but what are you going to do now"

"Hmm... what?" he said

"Slow this morning aren't you" she said giggling

"Oh sorry" he said and realising for the first time that morning that he was still naked said "well first I think I'd better get dressed and head back to my apartment to get a shower"

"Oh don't worry about that, you can use my shower" she said

"Oh, well thanks" he said

"No problem" she said "but anyway I was really talking about a job or something, got anything planned?"

"I know, I was trying to make a joke, sorry my sense of humour is terrible" he said smiling, she simply smiled in return "but no, I don't have anything planned, got turned down for the last job interview I had lined up a few days ago, I guess its back to scouring the newspaper for wanted adds" he added grimly

"You know, I might be able to help you out" said Larka

"Oh please you don't have to" said Fenra "I don't want to trouble you"

"Its no trouble" she said "A friend of mine works at a bar downtown, I'm sure I can get her to see if she can get you a job there"

"But..." he said

"Ah" interrupted Larka "remember what I said about refusing help, now I wont take no for an answer"

Fenra sighed then smiled at her "I'm going to have to work at that" he said, she smiled sweetly in return. The pair paused for a moment then Fenra spoke again

"Well I had better get a shower" he said, tugging at a sweat matted bit of fur.

"Ok" said Larka "I've got soap, shower gel and shampoo in there, use what you need"

"Thanks" he said, gathering up his clothes and making for the bathroom. Larka watched his naked figure closely as he walked and her heart began to beat faster.

Fenra stepped into the bathroom and closed the door behind him, the bathroom wasn't huge but it was a decent size he thought, a white carpet covered the floor and although without any windows it was well lit by a single light built into the ceiling.

The shower itself was just inside the door, although obviously built for one person it looked rather spacious. It had two glass sides, one of which being the door which opened outwards, and the other meeting it at right angles. The other two sides were tiled sections of wall. The shower head was bolted into the wall at the top of the shower and the nozzle for adjusting temperature and water flow was at shoulder height. In addition there was a small metal rack placed high up near the shower head which had the soap, shower gels and shampoos that Larka had mentioned.

On the far side of the bathroom was a mirror with a set of spot lights above it and a peach coloured, plastic sink below it, to the side of this were two heated towel racks, one empty and one with a clean towel on it. He placed his clothes on the empty towel rack and stepped into the shower.

He turned the shower on and warm water began to flow over his fur, sinking in and making it feel heavy but smooth. He raised his head to the shower head and let the water run over his face for a moment. He then began to run his paws over his fur, raking his claws through it pulling out the various knots that had formed.

He had just pulled out a particularly tough knot when he heard the bathroom door open again. Damn I forgot to lock it, still no matter he thought and he continued tending to his fur, facing the wall opposite the shower door.

However it was at that moment he heard the glass door open and a paw clench on his rump. He stopped tending to his fur and he could hear Larka panting heavily. He smiled to himself and in one swift movement grabbed Larka's arm, pulled her into the shower and pinned her by her arms to the wall opposite the glass door. The glass door shut behind them and Larka looked up at Fenra's face, he smiled at her, bearing his teeth cheekily. Larka, slightly taken aback by Fenra's almost aggressive movements, remained motionless for a moment, her face showing a little bit of fear. Still pinned to the wall by Fenra, his steadily growing member reaching out and resting on her chest, she smiled in return, liking this new dominant side of Fenra she was seeing.

With the shower still running they were both drenched, their fur heavy and smooth as velvet. Larka leaned her head towards Fenra, licked his cheek and whispered into his ear.

"Fuck me, now!" she said forcefully, nibbling his ear, a wild passion swelling inside her.

Hearing this Fenra bent his knees slightly, positioned his throbbing member just out side her entrance and, still holding her pinned to the wall, thrust into her in one rapid, forceful movement.

She winced in pain as his member forced its way inside her and moaned with wild pleasure when he had hilted himself in her fully. He began to pull himself out again and just as his tip was about to reach her entrance he drove himself in to her as hard as he could again.

As the shower water flowed over their hot bodies, their fur moist and sleek and Larka's juices adding to the lubrication, he was able to slide in and out of her with ease, although not without losing all friction. Fenra wanted to make sure she felt every movement and he drilled her pussy with his member forcefully, almost violently.

He continued to draw himself out to her nether lips slowly then force himself inside her roughly. With every thrust Larka moaned wildly, a mixture of pain and pleasure filling her senses, her whole body absorbed in this feeling. Her head slumped on Fenra's shoulder, panting and moaning, shower water dripping from her fur.

As her head lay on his shoulder she began to bite him. Gently but enough so he could feel it. With every thrust and every tinge of pain that flowed through her body she sank her muzzle around his shoulder, almost instinctively, wanting him to experience the pain she was feeling. For every feeling of pain an immense, far greater feeling of pleasure spread from her pussy around her body.

Fenra too felt it, as Larka sank her teeth into his shoulder he gritted his teeth, bearing the pain for the pleasurable reward the feeling of his member forcing itself in her pussy was giving him. A pleasure like no other. As the pair panted and moaned, Fenra's rough movements driving them both wild it was not long before they felt their orgasms building.

Now for the first time Fenra released her arms and began to raise himself up, lifter her up using only his member, driving himself in to her as much as he could. Larka, moaning in pain and pleasure as Fenra entered her deeper than anyone had ever entered her, flung her now free arms around his neck and her legs around clasped around his waist. Fenra took his now free arms and placed them under her legs, supporting her more fully, he pressed his body to hers and held her against the wall using his body alone.

This sudden movement did something Larka didn't expect. Her whole body shuddered as an orgasm swept her body. She clenched her eyes shut and squeezed her arms and legs together. The intensity of this orgasm was like nothing she had ever felt. She came hard, her pussy contracting hard around Fenra's member, grasping it, holding it tightly, never wanting to let go. She had cum so hard her juices squirted from her pussy, coating Fenra's groin and upper legs, large drops falling with great sounds on the shower floor. As her grip eased and she panted and moaned she felt something else, a second orgasm building. Could it be possible she thought, after cumming that hard I cant possibly have anything left.

Noticing that Larka had climaxed Fenra began to slow. He was about to withdraw from her when she yelled at him

"NO! k...keep g...g... going" her voice stuttered as pleasure coursed through her body "I.... another" she struggled as pleasure took her, she sank her teeth into Fenra's shoulder angrily as he almost exited her.

Feeling this Fenra winced but obliged and thrust himself back into her.

Larka, now suspended against the wall, held there by his body weight, already climaxed but feeling the second rapidly building, clung to him with her arms and legs. She was now at his mercy. With Larka remaining in the same place Fenra began to thrust again but this time drawing himself out as fast as he forced himself back in, doubling the number trusts at the same time. Larka's head began to swim, the feeling of pain and immense pleasure making her feel dizzy and light headed, she rested her head limply on Fenra's shoulder, her mind blank, feeling nothing but this incredible pleasure.

Fenra's muscles began to tire, his veins at the surface, the hot shower water, the heat their bodies pressed to each other were generating, he began to feel dizzy. His muscles began to ache, supporting Larka's whole body weigh was putting a great strain on them, this pain screaming to him so stop. He endured though, the pleasure he was feeling was well worth the pain he had to endure.

As the pain in his muscles reached fever pitch he felt something else. His groin muscles tightened, his scrotum contracted bringing his testicles closer to his body, his member swelled once more, thickening slightly. He knew his orgasm was upon him.

Feeling Fenra's member grow inside her slightly Larka knew his climax was upon him, thank god a part of her mind said, she did not know how much longer she could hold out. The pain and pleasure so intense she was struggling to remain conscious.

Feeling all his muscles contract in crescendo Fenra put his arms under Larka's and placed his paws on her shoulders. He drew himself out as far as he could without exiting her, braced his paws on her shoulders, pressing down slightly to ensure this thrust was the greatest yet, and with one final triumphant thrust he climaxed.

This was all Larka needed to put her over the edge. The feeling of his member thrusting harder, more forcefully than it had before sent such waves of pain and pleasure through her that her second climax came. She was sure this was the last, she came so hard, harder even than the first time that all her muscles shuddered. The pain and pleasure so intense that with a great moan she sank her teeth so deep into Fenra's shoulder that her canines broke the skin surface, a small amount of blood entered her mouth and matted Fenra's fur.

Fenra whelped in pain as Larka's bite drew blood but it was nothing compared to the pleasure he was now feeling. He came deep and hard, his leg muscles buckling slightly but he held out, his body engrossed in this, his greatest orgasm. So much of his seed flowing that he had to fight the pressure that built up within Larka's pussy to keep his member inside her. As more of his seed flowed into her in waves large drops forced there way around his member, out of Larka's pussy and out into their fur and the shower floor.

His wolf hood still suspended within Larka's pussy and the cocktail of juices within Fenra gently lowered her. As her feet touched the floor all her muscles relaxed, she fell limp in Fenra's arms, panting and exhausted but with a large smile on her mouth, a small drop of blood on her canines.

Fenra withdrew himself from her, Larka emitted one last pleasurable sigh as he did so, and still supporting Larka's limp frame he reached and opened the shower door. Fenra fell backwards out of the shower as his fatigued muscles finally gave in and the pair landed in the doorway between the bathroom and the rest of the apartment. He was on his back and Larka, who was barely conscious, had collapsed chest down on top of him.

With his last ounce of strength he placed his arm around Larka and his paw over the two pinprick sized wounds on his shoulder. He kissed the top of Larka's head and, struggling, whispered "I'm going to need another shower".

The pair chuckled weakly, muscles aching, bodies sapped of energy as consciousness failed them and they fell into a deep sleep.

Fenra awoke first, the early afternoon sun shone into his eyes. He squinted as the bright light hit his pupils. He could hear Larka breathing softly, still deep in sleep, laying on top of him. He gently pulled his body from underneath her and without waking her, picked her up, cradling her in his arms, and lay her down on the sofa, tucking her white shirt under her head for support.

He stepped back and smiled at her beautiful figure as she lay sleeping, blissfully unaware of the world around her. She looked so adorable as she slept he thought, her body curled on her side, her tailed coiled around her body. He sighed contentedly, turned and went to the bathroom to get the shower he had intended to have hours ago.

When he left the bathroom, fully dressed but rubbing a towel over his head, drying off the last of the water, Larka was awake and filtering through her mail.

"Finally done are we" she said smiling "you certainly took a while in there"

"Sorry I took so long" he replied, smiling, finishing drying his head and placing the towel over his shoulder "but you wouldn't believe what I had stuck in my fur"

"I can imagine" said Larka laughing, tugging at a bit of her own matted fur "I could use a good long shower too"

She kissed him on the cheek, took the towel off his shoulder and made her way to the bathroom.

"Oh, by the way, I heard your phone ring, that's what woke me up" she said as she stood in the bathroom doorway "you've probably got a message on your machine"

"Damn walls in here are paper thin" he said smiling, she smiled back and entered the bathroom.

"I'm just going to head back to my place to check" he called as he grabbed his keys and opened the apartment door, he thought he heard Larka mumble something in acknowledgement from behind the bathroom door as the shower ran softly and he headed out.

He entered his apartment, closed the door behind him and went straight over to the answering machine. There was a light blinking on it indicating he had a message, he pushed the play button.

You have 1 new message the familiar electronic voice said and the message began to play.

"Hello son" came a feminine voice, it was his mother, his ears pricked up as he heard her, it was unusual for her to phone anyone "I know you don't normally pay any attention to our phone calls, you haven't returned any of our last messages... and I know how you feel about your father but please... please get in touch"

It went silent for a while and he thought the message had ended, he went to push the delete button when her mothers voice came again, softly and breaking slightly "there's something we need to talk about..." he heard his mother draw in a few deep breaths, apparently composing herself and the tape stopped

Delete message the electronic voice said, he paused for a moment, reflecting on his mothers words. Any other day he would have deleted these messages without hesitation but, his mothers words and tone of voice, why she was calling instead of his father. He pressed the decline button and walked away.

He picked up the mail from just inside the door, sat on his sofa and thumbed through it, not really looking but busying himself as he pondered his mothers words. Not that it mattered, there was nothing special in the mail as always, a few advertisements for restaurants, a bill and an envelope with the words You May Already Be A Winner written on it. He placed the bill on the small table next to the phone and placed the rest of the mail in the bin.

He returned to the sofa and ran his mothers words through his head again. There was something odd, almost off about the way she spoke, he couldn't quite place it. What did she have to talk to him about he thought.

He sat in quite contemplation for a while until a knock at the door woke him from his thoughts.

"Fenra?" came Larka's voice from the other side of the door.

He scrambled to his feet and opened the door. Larka stood behind it. Clean and beautiful. Her fur immaculate and a soft perfume emanated from her. Her paw print necklace fastened around her neck.

"I got out of the shower and you weren't there" she said.

"Sorry, I had just come back here to check my answering machine" he said.

"Oh ok" she said smiling "I just didn't hear you leave, you had me worried"

"Oh sorry" he said slightly embarrassed "I thought you knew"

"That's ok" she replied "did you have a message?"

"Hmm... yes just one" he said, playing back his mother words in his head, his eyes glazing over as he spoke.

"Anything important?" Larka asked, seeing his distant expression.

"No.... no" he said, his thoughts returning to him.

"Ok" sad Larka, unconvinced by his words but she decided not to question further.

"Anyway, its such a nice day, fancy heading out for a while" said Fenra "I could use the fresh air"

"Yeah sure" she said.

Fenra picked up his keys headed out and locked the door behind himself. Larka nipped into her apartment grabbed her keys and locked the door behind her as she

left. The pair then went, paw in paw, to the elevator and out of the building.

The sky was a perfect blue, the early afternoon sun was warm and reflected off the various windows and steel structures. A cool breeze swept through the streets every so often.

Fenra shrugged his left shoulder uncomfortably as the pair walked down the street, the bite wound Larka had given him earlier stung as a breeze passed under his shirt sleeve, two small red dots had appeared on his shirt over the bite marks where small drops of blood had coagulated.

"Must be deeper than I thought" he said smiling.

"Its still bleeding?" asked Larka.

"Yeah, well it stopped for a while earlier" said Fenra "but I think I broke the seal as I put my shirt on"

"Oh I'm so sorry" she said, placing a paw on his shoulder. "I just got a little carried away"

"Its fine" he said smiling.

"but..." started Larka, a hint of shame in her voice.

"Its fine, really" said Fenra looking her in the eye.

"Ok" she said, kissing him on the cheek and the pair continued walking.

"I've been meaning to ask you something" said Larka as they turned the corner at the end of the block.

"Really?" said Fenra, "well ask away?"

"Well its just, your old life, back in the country sounds so much better than here" she said "why did you leave that for this?"

"Ah" he said, pausing to work out his reply "well certain things led me here, things that happened"

"That's all I'm going to get is it" said Larka slightly frustrated.

"What?" said Fenra slightly confused by her tone.

"Why is it Fenra" she continued "that every time I ask you about your family you get that look in your eye and avoid the subject"

"Its difficult to talk about" he said.

"Even to me!" she said "I thought that of all people you would be able to open up to me"

"Please don't get upset, its difficult to talk about to anybody" he said "I'm sure if I told you, you would understand"

"Then tell me" she said.

"I... I cant" he said.

"cant... " she said, sighing.

"I'm sorry" he said, looking her in the eye, taking both her paws in his "I will tell you someday I promise"

She averted her gaze but he placed a paw under her chin and turned her face gently to look at his.

"Hey... I promise" he said softly.

"Ok" she said reluctantly but as Fenra kissed her on the cheek she reciprocated and the pair kissed deeply for a moment then, without any more words, they continued walking paw in paw.

After a few moments Larka spotted a figure ahead of them, she began to panic and she turned to cross the road.

"Hey... erm, can we go this way Fenra" she said.

"What? Why?" he asked puzzled.

"I just feel like going a different way today" she said, her heart beginning to race as the figure drew closer.

"But that's in the complete wrong direction" said Fenra, becoming increasingly puzzled "I thought you wanted to go to the park"

"Just... please" she said, turning to him, staring him in the eyes, her eyes pleading with him.

"Ok... I don't understand but ok" he said, sensing her fear. The pair went to cross the road but it was to late.

"Larka" a masculine voice called, Larka shuddered as she heard the voice.

They turned and Fenra saw a black panther approaching them wearing a black shirt and a pair of dark jeans. He was slightly taller than Fenra and was well built, his shirt tight around his arm muscles.

"Surely you haven't forgotten who I am" said the panther, stopping in front of them, staring at Larka, not acknowledging Fenra's presence.

Larka recoiled as the panther extended his arm to touch her face and she hugged close to Fenra. Fenra put an arm around her protectively, his gaze fixed on this panther. He did not know who he was and why Larka was acting like this but it didn't matter, he could sense her fear and this was all he needed to know.

"Shy as always" said the panther coldly, Larka stared at the floor "Aren't you even going to look at me"

The panther grabbed Larka's arm and tried to pull her from Fenra, she writhed, whimpered and tried to free her arm. As the panther did so Fenra grabbed his wrist, squeezed it, forcing him to release his grip and shoved him backwards.

"Touch me again..." started the panther, looking Fenra directly in the eye, approaching him slowly.

"Carl please..." said Larka, still clinging to Fenra whose arm was still around her, holding her to him protectively.

"Who the hell is this!" said the panther, turning to face Larka, who Fenra assumed was called Carl.

Larka didn't answer she just buried her head in Fenra's chest fearfully.

"I said..." said Carl, grabbing at Larka forcefully.

Fenra swerved on the spot, putting his body between Carl and Larka, and with his free arm barged Carl, forcing him back a few steps.

"I think you'd better leave" said Fenra angrily, staring at Carl as he regained his balance.

Carl approached Larka again and Fenra got in his way once more, "I said" said Fenra, anger swelling in his voice, baring his teeth "you'd better leave, NOW!"

Carl stared Fenra in the eye, an anger burning in his pupils, he turned to address Larka.

"You cant hide from me forever bitch" he said as he turned to walk away.

As Carl headed off Larka eased her grip on Fenra and looked up from his chest.

"Oh and you" said Carl looking over his shoulder at Fenra "you'd better watch your back wolf"

At this Carl walked off down the block and around the corner. Once he had disappeared from view Larka released her grip on Fenra and stared down the street, making sure Carl was truly gone. She stood there shaking with fear.

"Larka, who was he?" asked Fenra, placing an arm around her, looking deep into her eyes.

"H....his name is Carl" said Larka, her voice shaking.

"but why is he...." started Fenra.

"About a year ago" interrupted Larka "he moved into the apartment block down the street from ours, I was visiting my friend in the bar when I first saw him, I would often visit my friend when she was working to keep her company"

Fenra simply looked at her as she spoke, her eyes distant and though she had stopped shaking her voice was still fearful.

"Well I was there with my friend, sitting at the bar talking when she had a free moment when he approached me" Larka continued "we started talking and we seemed to be getting along fine, he seemed like a perfectly ok person but then something happened"

"Go on" said Fenra

"He... he started to touch me, first on my legs, then... elsewhere..." she said "I tried to tell him I wasn't interested but he didn't listen, he kept going, touching. I called for security and they escorted him from the bar but on his way out he called to me saying he would be back, that I would be his one day"

Fenra felt an anger rise as she spoke, he wanted to chase after Carl and make him pay for what he had done. He breathed deeply and composed himself as Larka continued.

"I thought that would be the end of it but it wasn't, everywhere I went, everywhere I walked I saw him, following me, shadowing me, hounding me" she said "he would turn up at my apartment and hammer on the door, yelling at me to open it, I would get so scared"

Larka's voice began to break, she began to blink rapidly as tears brimmed in her eyes.

"Then one night I had just met my friend and when she had finished work I walked home with her and then took the alleyway from her apartment to mine, it was quicker than taking the street and... and I normally had no trouble, I did this regularly but this time... this time" she said, struggling to form the words "I... I was halfway through the alley when... when Carl appeared. He had two other people with him, a fox and a horse, I don't know their names. Anyway I tried to walk past but they blocked my way, it was then that... that Carl approached me, he said that he told me that I would be his someday and... and the other two... they pinned me to the wall and... and Carl he... he...."

Larka couldn't speak, her voice choked off by emotion, tears streamed from her eyes.

"Larka did he... did he rape you?" said Fenra, the anger now a white hot fire in his heart.

Larka nodded, tears matting the fur around her eyes. "He... he said if I ever told anyone, if I went to the police he would..." she swallowed back tears "would hurt me"

The anger within Fenra was clawing at his insides, like a rabid demon, making him want to chase down the street after Carl. To tear his heart out for what he had done, for hurting Larka. It took all the strength he had to stop this anger from over taking him.

"Oh Fenra" Larka cried as she flung her arms around him, buried her head in his chest and wept. Fenra embraced her, gripping her, encircling her in his arms, holding her with love and tenderness, protecting her, comforting her.

"Don't worry" he said as she wept, her cool tears soaking through his shirt into his fur "I wont let him get at you or do anything to you, I promise"

After a few moments Larka composed herself, looked up at Fenra from his chest and staring into his eyes simply said "thank you"

"Your very welcome" said Fenra, smiling comfortingly at her as the pair set off again, paw in paw.

When they reached the park it was early evening, the sun sent deep orange rays streaking through the violet evening sky. The pair were sat on a bench beneath a tall oak tree, a small pond in front of them, a chill evening wind whipping its surface into small foamy peaks every so often. Around them was an open area of grass with a few smaller trees dotted randomly within it, the entire park was bordered by a tall concrete wall which kept out the noise of the busy streets around them.

A few people were walking through the park, a cat in a business suit, holding his shoes in his paws, was enjoying the quiet and the feeling of the grass against his feet, obviously a much needed relief from the busy, noisy office routine. A young pair of hyenas, obviously still in their teens, walked paw in paw over the grass, talking and laughing, one had her head laid on the others shoulder, her face calm and contented, there was nothing more she wanted than to be in her boyfriends arms.

As another cold wind whipped by Larka shivered.

"Are you cold?" asked Fenra.

"Yeah a little" said Larka.

"Here" said Fenra as he placed his arms around Larka and held her close to his chest.

"Much better" she said, placing her head on his chest, enjoying the warmth and the soothing sound of his heartbeat.

"So tell me about this friend of yours?" said Fenra.

"Hmm" said Larka who wasn't paying that much attention, she was to absorbed in the feeling of his chest.

"You know, the one who works at the bar" said Fenra.

"Oh, ok" she said "her name's Lina, I think you will really like her, she's got a really friendly personality, she's got a good sense of humour too, she lights up the room whenever she is"

"She sounds very nice" he said "how does she feel about... well you know wolves"

Larka chuckled slightly at the question.

"Well she's friends with me isn't she" she said "you've got to stop worrying about what you are, besides she hates the way people treat wolves around here as much as you do"

"Oh well that's good" said Fenra with slight relief "I know I shouldn't worry about it but it seems being a wolf around here has brought me more harm than good"

"Aw, well you've got me there for you haven't you" she said kissing his cheek.

"And you are the best thing that has ever happened to me" he said returning her kiss.

"I tell you what" said Larka "I'll arrange for us to go meet Lina tomorrow, I'm sure she would love to meet you, and also we can see if we can get you that job"

"Thanks, I would like that, very much" said Fenra, kissing Larka's forehead, she simply smiled sweetly in return.

The pair sat in silence for a while as the sun disappeared behind the buildings. As another chill wind whipped by Larka spoke.

"As much as I could stay in your arms forever I think we had better head home, I'm quite tired and I'm sure you're getting cold"

"Oh I'm not cold, not when I've got you to keep me warm" he said "but if you want to head home I suppose we can"

Larka smiled, kissed him on the cheek and the pair got up and walked off into the night.

When they arrived back outside their apartments both Fenra and Larka got out their keys and unlocked their doors.

"Well goodnight" said Larka

"Goodnight" said Fenra "sweet dreams"

"Same to you" she said "oh and I'll call Lina first thing in the morning"

"Ok, see you tomorrow" he said and they kissed for a moment before heading into their respective apartments.

Fenra closed the door of his apartment, locked it, folded out his sofa bed and collapsed on it. He closed his eyes thinking of how wonderful the past two days had been and for the first time in all the nights he had slept alone in this apartment, he fell asleep happy.
