As the helicopter finally landed Nathaniel hurriedly got out of it, or rather he miserably fell on the ground. The trip had been less than ten minutes long but it felt to him as if it was two hours of torture. He swore to never ride a helicopter ever again to avoid getting sick of heights. He wanted to look around, but he was still feeling too dizzy and stressed out after that. While he was slowly catching his breath and calming down, the butler stepped out of the helicopter.

• "Mister Silver," began the butler, "Sir Curtis is waiting for you... Could you please wake up and follow me?"

• "Tell him... I died in the helicopter..." the Bride whispered weakly.

• "Please, mister Silver. Think about Arkion..."

• "It's fine... I'll join him in the afterlife soon."

• "I can't believe the Bride is such a crybaby." said an unknown voice with a snicker.

Nathaniel lifted his head to look at the unpleasant offender. It was a black and white werewolf about seven feet tall in height who was wearing a white shirt, a black vest and pants and a blue bowtie that matched the colour of his eyes. He also wore white gloves and an expensive looking watch on his left wrist.

• "Sir Curtis, you shouldn't come out of the manor like that." the butler scolded.

• "Don't make such a scene. I was too excited to meet the Bride."

• "Young Master, this man may be dangerous. He thinks you are evil and you want to blackmail him."

Nathaniel weakly got up and tried to ready a fighting stance. But he fell on his knees and had to breathe heavily. The dapper wolf walked in front of Nathaniel and put a hand over the Bride's head.

• "Will you..." whispered Sir Curtis into Nathaniel's ears, "be a good little boy?"

• "Don't you... DARE insult me!" snarled the silver wolf.

• "Settle down, Silver. If you're a bad dog, I'll have to punish you, you know? Who knows what could happen to Arkion if you were to not be a good boy?"

• "You little... I knew it!"

Sir Curtis let out a chuckle before laughing more and more until he burst in full out laughter. He was laughing so much that his eyes were watering.

• "You are certainly right, Sebastian! He really thinks I'm evil! Did you see the look in his eyes?"

• "Sir," mumbled the butler, "please get away from mister Silver... It could end up..."

Nathaniel gathered his strength and leapt at the smaller wolf. He pinned the other wolf under his impressive weight, which wasn't difficult given that he was one and a half times as big as the other. He showed all his fangs to the smaller man while bringing one of his claws to Sir Curtis' neck.

• "I'll rip your throat if you don't free Arkion!" threatened Nathaniel.

• "Oooooh nooooo!" said the smaller wolf in a dramatic voice, "I have been undone! Me, the great Sapphire Curtis, felled by the might of the silver bride!" His voice suddenly changed to a very serious one, "go ahead. Kill me. You won't escape unscathed, and none of your husbands will survive the night. It is in your best interest to keep me alive."

Nathaniel was extremely surprised at the sudden change of attitude. He pondered for a while, that guy looked dead serious. He let go of the smaller man and sat on the ground. Sir Curtis got up and wiped his clothes to get rid of the dust.

• "That's much better." taunted Sir Curtis, "It seems you aren't too bad of a mutt after all."

• "Just shut up and tell me where Arkion is." growled Nathaniel.

• "Well I certainly can't do both. It's either I 'shut up', or I talk and I'll eventually tell you Arkion's whereabouts. Which is it?"

• "Stop your nonsense!" shouted Nathaniel, extremely angry and frustrated, "Where is Arkion!?"

• "It isn't nonsense, my boy. You told me to speak and shut up at the same time. You are the one that don't make sense."

• "Gaah! Just tell me where Arkion is!"

• "We'll come to that later, I promise. For now, he's safe and sound. But it's not thanks to you."

• "What do you mean?"

• "Exactly what I said. You would have killed the wolf. You are lucky that we monitored what happened and could rescue him."

• "Don't give me this bullshit! You don't know what you're talking about! Just lead me to-"

• "You need to learn your place, Silver." interrupted the smaller Lord with a sharp tone. He put his finger at Nathaniel's chest, "You may be a powerful alpha in the world of werewolves, but I," he pointed at himself with his thumb and took a haughty stance, "am the top dog in society." After a couple seconds, he put his arms in the air and showed all around him, "There are dozens of darts aimed at you in case you try anything funny, all I need is a snap of my fingers and you're as good as dead." he looked like he was about to snap his finger. He held his hand threateningly as he continued, "What I said earlier about being a good boy still holds. You have no choice in the matter. Is that clear?"

Once again, Nathaniel was taken aback by the sudden change of attitude of Sir Curtis. A few moments ago, he was acting cheerfully and jokingly, but now he was dead serious.

• "It... it is..." muttered the Bride.

• "Good. That's a good boy." said the noble while patting Nathaniel's head and going back to his cheerful self. "You know what? I'll gratuitously reward you with one answer every time you do something I am pleased with."

A long silence fell upon the two.

• "Are you not going to ask what you can do to please me?" teased the smaller Lord.

• "I figured you'd say it already... it's not like I have a choice anyways..." replied the silver wolf.

• "Most wonderful, not only are you a good boy but you're also a clever boy! Now then, I want you to carry me in your arms."

Nathaniel looked at the smaller wolf, dumbstruck by the request. But he got up and loomed over Sir Curtis' slender frame. He crouched, brought one hand around Curtis' shoulders and the other under the back of his knees. He then lifted off the ground the small Lord in his large arms. The black and white wolf instantly began rubbing the fluffy chest of the Bride while almost purring.

• "Are you happy, now? Can I ask my 'reward' question?"

• "Oh my, those are lame questions." replied Sir Curtis, "But I'm in a good mood, so I'll answer both. I am indeed very happy. Your embrace feels exceptional. And, well, you've already asked your reward question."

• "Wait! No! That wasn't it!" objected Nathaniel.

• "Remember, silver bride, good boys play by the rules. And good boys will eventually get to see Arkion."

• "I... I hate you..."

• "I know, I know. Now, off we go, my beautiful steed! Or maybe I should say, my charming prince?"

• "I'm not your charming prince!" countered Nathaniel vehemently.

• "You're so receptive to my teasing, Silver, it makes me want to toy with you even more!"

Nathaniel grumbled heavily. But he had to play in the hands of that little annoyance if he wanted to see Arkion.

• "Whatever. Just tell me where you want me to carry you."

• "Alrighty then! Let's start by taking a walk in the garden! I'll explain to you a few things while we do. And if you listen intently, I might even reward you with another answer."

Nathaniel looked around as the smaller wolf guided him through the huge garden of his manor. There was an alley of roses, which the small Lord was taking great care of since his late mother died when he was ten years old. He used to draw pictures of her in her garden, so this place held some heavy memories to him. Nathaniel even caught him wiping a tear after pretending he had dust in the eye. The Bride learned that Madame Curtis died from a cancer when she was aged thirty-five. Since then, the boy had been trying to recreate the scene of his mother from his memories: her radiating smile in the middle of the alley of roses on a sunny day. He became a painter just for that, despite his father telling him that he would have to eventually take the family company in his hands. But Sir Curtis didn't like his father, he always busy or away on business trips. He always forgot about his son's birthday, he never was there on Holidays, he always forgot he had a family that was waiting for him. Ever since the day he skipped his wife's funeral, Sir Curtis hated his father. They finished the tour in the garden and Sir Curtis wiped his eyes with an embroidered tissue, which belonged to his late grandmother. It looked to Nathaniel as if he had seen a completely different person from the one that was toying with him or threatening to put him down.

• "Thank you for listening to my story..." said Sir Curtis weakly.

• "You didn't give me much of a choice." remarked Nathaniel.

• "Why would you ever be so mean? Aren't we friends now, silver boy?"

• "No way. Why would I even be friends with you?"

• "Are you sure you want to waste another question like that?" teased the smaller wolf.

• "I don't care anyways. You're not going to give me the answer I want to hear."

• "How can you be so sure?"

• "Because you don't want me to know until you're finished playing with me."

• "Just try and we'll see."

• "Whatever," rumbled Nathaniel, "where is Arkion?"

• "Aw come on, Silver, I told you only good boys get to see Arkion. You haven't been quite enough of a good boy yet. I'll let you have another question for now."

• "I knew it..." sighed Nathaniel, "fine. Why do you have him here and what do you plan on doing with him and with me?"

• "Those are three questions, silly boy." said the smaller wolf while raising three fingers in front of Nathaniel's nose, "I'll tell you about why Arkion is here. That day when you escaped the laboratory, you used his power, right?"

• "How do you know that?"

• "Another question? I haven't even answered the first one yet."

Nathaniel grumbled.

• "That day, you took Arkion's power to fight the black werewolf. You didn't look at his power pool because you couldn't directly see him and your mind was too focused on your fight to perceive him anyways. In more rudimentary terms, you drained him of almost all his power. He was somehow capable to temporarily sever his link with you to protect himself from harm."

• "Wait, is that true?"

• "Why ever would I lie? We were observing the two of you when it happened. As soon as we saw him collapse, we rushed to save him. He's in our care now, in our underground private hospital. We'll release him on one condition, which you will learn later."

• "I... I had no idea... How's he doing?"

• "You're going to need to do something for me to answer another question."

• "You little..." Nathaniel was muttering words through his gritted teeth from anger, "What are you going to make me do to earn an answer, now?"

• "I want you to pluck that rose. The one up there."

Sir Curtis pointed at the top of the alley of rose where a single flower was hanging. Nathaniel was very surprised and wondered for a moment what was with this request. He switched to a one-handed carrying of Sir Curtiss to free one arm, which he extended toward the rose. Despite the alley being quite large, the flower was only a couple inches away from his nose. He gently caressed the petals of the rose before bringing his claw to cut it.

• "Are you sure you want me to pluck it?"

• "What's wrong with that, Silver? Are you going to disobey me?"

• "I'm just asking a question. I mean... I don't care about that one flower, really, but isn't this a special place to you? Wouldn't removing that rose ruin the view?"

The small Lord closed his eyes for a moment, during which there was a heavy silence. He then smiled and his frown dissipated. He also got a little less tense in the embrace of Nathaniel.

• "Forget about it," said the smaller wolf softly, "you may leave it be."

• "Uh... sure?" replied Nathaniel as he lowered his arm to carry the Lord with both his arms once again, "So, what next?"

• "You have earned an answer, Silver."

• "What? Why? I didn't even do what you said..."

• "Because I believe you deserved it. Now ask your question before I change my mind."

Nathaniel didn't need to be told twice.

• "Fine..." said the silver wolf as he decided on his next question, "how did you know what happened to us in the laboratory?"

• "We are wealthy and we will use all means necessary to our end. As such, we have a network of spy drones and security cameras that record footage of your actions. Well, technically, it's not only yours but also every other werewolf's actions. I was the one assigned to look at everything you and your husbands do."

• "And why were you watching me that day?"

• "That's another question, Silver. But I guess I can answer it as it is strongly tied to the previous one." he paused for a moment before ranting, "You wouldn't guess how simple werewolves are. Just fucking and sucking each other all day long. Nothing else. That's just boring to watch. On the other hand," his eyes lit up as he continued, "you have had an exciting life since you became a werewolf! It's like watching an action film! So I was always keeping an eye on you. And when I saw that you were using your hellfire powers, I checked on Arkion to see how he was doing. As soon as he collapsed, we sent a helicopter to fetch him and put him in intensive care."

• "Wait a minute, does that mean you were also looking when I was doing... that... with my lovers?"

• "Who knows? I may have 'enjoyed' recordings of you with your friends."

• "You sick bastard!" shouted the silver werewolf.

• "It's not my fault you guys are all so sexy and beautiful!" said Sir Curtis while blushing.

• "I can't believe you've been watching us all along..."

• "I have it all on tape. Would you like to go watch one with me?"

• "Never!"

• "Anyways. There's still one question you wanted to ask, right?"

• "Sigh... What do you want now?"

• "I want you to call me by my first name and compliment me, or just say something nice about me."

• "What's with the strange questions? What are you trying to do?"

• "My full name is Sapphire Curtis."

• "Are you just going to ignore me?"

• "Do not forget; good boys don't ask questions, they play by the rules."

• "Fine. You look good in those clothes, Sir Curtis."

• "That didn't sound sincere nor friendly at all, Silver. Try once more."

• "You..." growled Nathaniel before sighing. He inhaled deeply before exhaling to calm down. "Sapphire." he said. The smaller lord instantly turned his head toward him and was looking intently at him with his ears lowered. Nathaniel felt Sir Curtis' heart actually skip a beat. "You look handsome and cute in that classy outfit of yours. It suits you almost perfectly."

• "I... do I?" asked the noble, visibly embarrassed.

• "You do."

• "It... so... that's how..." he muttered weakly while clinging closer to Nathaniel.

• "That's how what?"

For a whole minute, Sapphire was looking into Nathaniel's eyes. His ears were lowered and his heart rate was slightly faster than before. The Bride could feel the conflicting emotions inside the smaller wolf who wanted to say something, but stopped right before letting it out. Sir Curtis then sighed heavily, closed his eyes, and he was once again back to his cold attitude.

• "Are you sure you want to waste a question for that, Silver?" teased the noble.

• "What the... Stop toying with me like that!" growled Nathaniel.

• "You stop trying to look any further into this, then. Anyways, you earned another answer."

• "You're the most annoying guy I ever met," sighed the Bride, "or actually, second most annoying after King."

Nathaniel took a moment to think about his next question. There was something that really bothered him about this guy. It felt as if this version of Sir Curtis was a fake facade he put to protect himself. That time after the compliment was the real Sapphire. He brushed these thoughts aside for now and asked his next question.

• "Why are you keeping an eye over the werewolves of this city?"

• "That is a very good question, Silver. How do you think the werewolf problem hasn't caused panic in the city?"

• "I... I don't know?"

• "Correct. With all their fucking around, there's no way that they could go unnoticed like this. I am a member of the gentlewolves, and it is the gentlewolves' responsibility to prevent that problem from going public. We manipulate the media, the police, the laws; we're everywhere and control everything from the shadows."

Nathaniel stood silent for a moment while looking into Sapphire's eyes. He was trying to process that last piece of information.

• "Let me ask you something, Silver, what do you think about your power?" said Sir Curtis. His expression was severe and extremely serious. He was looking intently at Silver, almost never blinking.

• "My... power?" Nathaniel was surprised by this question, "do you mean the Bride thing?"

• "Yes."

• "I... I don't know. It's convenient, I guess?"

• "Is that really all?"

• "Uh... yeah?" the silver wolf replied. He never had given too much thought about it. But the question bothered him, so he asked "Why? Was that not what you expected from me?"

• "Listen, Silver. Your power is one of the strongest we've ever seen. Did you ever think about ruling the city, or even the country, or maybe the whole world?! With this power of yours, you could become a god, you could squish whoever you want under your gigantic paw, you could have entire cities worship you. Have you never thought about that, Silver?"

• "I... I must admit it crossed my mind, once..." replied the Bride while carefully avoiding to look into the noble's eyes.

• "What if I told you I could help you dominate the world, Silver?"

• "I... well..." Nathaniel didn't know what to think about that. There was something nasty in Sir Curtis' eyes, "look, I've been dragged into this; ever since I've become a werewolf I haven't had the time to breathe and things evolved into what they are now. I don't want to rule the world. I just want to live a happy life with my husbands."

• "How about having thousands more husbands, then, Silver? Millions more. Billions!"

• "What's gotten into you? You threatened me with death one snap of your fingers away, then told me about your organization that controls everything and now you're trying to make me go mad on power? Listen, I'm happy with how things are right now, except for the fact that Arkion is in danger. I don't need any more lovers. I just want them to be with me and to be safe. I don't care about werewolfish-politics or whatever you gentlewolves are doing."

• "Is that so?" replied Sir Curtis. He closed his eyes and relaxed a little. "You're boring. But I guess this means you pass the test."

• "What test?"

• "You don't need to know. Anyways, do you have more questions? I know you do."

• "Right... So what's it going to be now?"

• "I want you to say that you'll be here for me when I need it. And I want you to tell me that I'm a... a precious..."

Sapphire just couldn't say the end of that phrase. Nathaniel understood what he wanted and felt like this was a request coming from his true self and not the trickster he was moments ago.

• "You're an odd one. Making me hate you, and then asking me to be your friend. Fine, I'll do that if it's what you want."

• "I..."

• "Sapphire," said Nathaniel, making the smaller wolf shiver and lower his ears, "I want you to know that you are a precious friend of mine, and that should you ever need it, I'll be here for you."

• "Do you... mean it?" asked Sapphire as he snuggled closer to Nathaniel and ran his hand against the Bride's fluffy chest.

• "I don't have a choice, do I?" replied Nathaniel with a sharp tone, "you're just forcing me to do whatever you want while I'm hoping I can eventually see Arkion."

• "I... you're right." whispered Sapphire as he slowly let go of the large silver wolf.

• "Let's just get this over with. I want to know what you gentlewolves think of me and whether I should be worried about my safety."

• "Many of us are extremely afraid of you." said Sapphire. There was once again a switch and he was back to his cold self, "your power is beyond compare and we may struggle to contain you, should you ever decide to go berserk. Whether you do go berserk or not is not our concern right now, but your potential to do so is. That's why I called you here. So far, you appear to be caring and kind to me despite me trying to tease and trick you over and over. In my eyes, you aren't a danger greater than that of the devourer."

• "You didn't answer the question, am I in danger?"

• "Patience. Glutton, the Guide and Ebony were all on our list of dangerous individuals, but since you took care of them, our threat list noticeably shrank."

• "Wait a minute, you said you have the power to take anyone down, why haven't you taken care of all these guys before?"

• "You are well aware of how dangerous these guys were. They were also very alert and unpredictable. In the case of Ebony, it was very difficult to find him and even when we did, he was gone by the time we got there. As for Glutton and the Guide, they were very well guarded."

• "So... what about my state on your list?"

• "You're the highest potential threat. However, the keyword here is 'potential'."

Nathaniel relaxed slightly. He was not in direct danger. At least, not yet.

• "We gentlewolves have come up with a few trials for you. If you clear all of them, you will be an ally of ours. As long as you do not threaten either the peace of the city or us gentlewolves, that is."

• "I... I see." said Nathaniel who was tensed up once again.

• "Are you not going to ask what those trials are?"

• "You said it yourself. 'Ask'. You wouldn't answer if I asked."

• "Why are you so negative, Silver?"

• "Because you just told me you'd kill me if I didn't do everything you guys want me to do. Because I came here to see Arkion and all I get is a bratty Lord that continuously toys with my feelings. I could go on for a while if you want me to. Really."

• "That was a rhetorical question, Silver. I know why you are angry. But I am trying to help you, here. Before we start with the trials, I have one last request."

• "And that would be?"

• "Well, first of all, you can put me back down."

The silver werewolf delicately put the smaller Lord on the ground. Sir Curtis turned away and walked a couple steps. He then cleared his throat and shyly turned back toward the Bride.

• "Silver, I... I'd like you to... to hug me like one of your husbands."

Nathaniel was dumbstruck. For a long moment, he didn't know what to think about that until he finally decided he'd do it. He got on his knees right before the smaller wolf. He then encircled Sapphire's shoulders with his large arms and pulled him close to him in a gentle hug. The noble man nuzzled against the wide and fluffy neck of the Bride and started petting the huge wolf wherever he could reach with his hands. Nathaniel noticed that Sapphire's tail was wagging slowly. For a moment, the two of them were locked in a warm embrace. Up until now Sir Curtis was tense and stressed, but as soon as he was inside the Bride's hold the tension disappeared and it felt like he was at ease. It felt once again to Nathaniel as if this side of him was the true Sapphire, the guy that was hiding behind that trickster mask. The smaller Lord closed his eyes to enjoy the warmth of the embrace. The Bride was delicately caressing Sapphire's back with his massive hands, making the smaller wolf purr from contentment. After a few minutes Nathaniel broke the hug, but Sapphire desperately clung to the large chest.

• "I've done what you wanted me to do. Answer my question now."

• "That wasn't nearly long enough..." pouted Sapphire. "Which one do you want me to answer?"

• "All of them."

• "No can do, Silver. Only one of them."

• "Fine... How's Arkion doing?"

• "He's resting. He's safe, but he's very tired and needs a lot of rest. In his sleep, he sometimes says your name. But... every time he does, his face distorts with fear."

• "What? How? Why? Why would he be afraid of me?!"

• "I believe it's because you almost killed him by draining him dry."

Nathaniel looked at his hands while thinking to himself. He let his arms fall down and looked absentmindedly at the ground in shame. Almost killed his lover because he didn't control his own power? How could he ever let that happen?

Sapphire watched the Bride with a look of sympathy. He extended his hand to pat the larger wolf's shoulder, but he retracted his arm at the last second. He turned away and cleared his throat.

• "You have more questions that need answering, right?" resumed Sir Curtis after taking on his stern look once again, "You should get back to do what I want you to."

• "Fine..." said Nathaniel, almost wanting to jump at that annoying wolf's throat.

• "Next, I want you to help me become human again for one day. Or if one day is not possible, forever is fine."

• "What!?" Nathaniel was in shock. "That's... I don't know how to do that!"

• "With those powers of yours, I bet you can find a solution. I... My girlfriend doesn't want to wait anymore. She wants a date. But I can't go out like this. And... Since I made Sebastian a werewolf too, I can't turn back to human. So I need you to find a solution for me."

Nathaniel thought about it for a moment. He certainly knew a lot about Cores, but he didn't know how he could try that.

• "I don't think I can do that..." admitted the silver wolf.

• "With all the knowledge you have about the werewolves' powers, you should be able to come up with something, right?" asked Sir Curtis with a glint of hope in his voice.

• "I... I'm sorry."

There was a long silence. Nathaniel was searching for a way to help Sir Curtis to get back to human, even for just a day. He collected everything he knew about power and Cores. He knows how to manipulate the power of the werewolves. He can infuse some of his own power into others to make them grow in size and strength, and that power will become theirs. A Core represents a werewolf's power. The bigger it is, the more power it holds. He remembered about that time where Riddle had his Core shattered in pieces by Ebony. He remembered that time when Glutton's power Core vanished in thin air before the fat titan did the same. He thought about how the Guide's Core was completely exhausted of power before he turned back human. That was it! The answer to this question!

• "What does Arkion look like right now?" inquired Nathaniel.

• "You haven't made anything to deserve an answer, Silver."

Nathaniel considered forcibly hugging the werewolf to extract another answer from him, but he decided against it.

• "It's linked to your request," added the silver wolf, "I may have a solution depending on the answer to that question."

• "Is that so?" Sir Curtis looked at Nathaniel defiantly. He sighed before he gave up the answer "Arkion is one of the smallest werewolves I've ever seen. He looks skinny and slender, but that's because his power is completely exhausted."

• "I need to do that to you! I know about someone that turned back human after his power was completely dried up!"

• "I won't let you do that to me." said the smaller wolf while crossing his arms and frowning "It might kill me and while I dislike my life, I still want to continue living it."

• "Just believe in me."

• "No way."

• "Just... believe in your precious friend, then?"

Sapphire's resolve was shaken upon hearing this word. He uncrossed his arms, lowered his ears and opened his eyes wide. Nathaniel had found a weak point in the shell of that werewolf.

• "If... if anything goes bad, will you be there for me?"

• "I will! I promised earlier, didn't I? I told you I'd be there for you should you ever need it, right?"

• "You... You're not going to kill me, are you?"

• "Why would I? I still don't know where Arkion is."

• "I... I... Very well..."

Nathaniel scanned the smaller wolf's body to find his power Core. It was lodged in the palm of his right hand. He took Sapphire's hand in his own paws and focused on it. Usually, he wasn't able to see or perceive Lords' Cores before he brought them to an orgasm, but right now he was able to. He gently touched the Core and wondered how to go about it. He scratched it with his claw and pierced it, making it leak power very slowly. After several drops of power dissolved into thin air, he looked at the noble.

• "How are you feeling?" asked Nathaniel.

• "I'm a little tired, but I'm fine." replied Sapphire, visibly worried, "What did you do?"

• "Your Core is emptying of its power. I want you to tell me if you feel like you're going to collapse or anything, okay?"

• "C-C-C-Collapse? Wait, no, I don't want to do that anymore!"

• "Just shut up and deal with it."

Nathaniel monitored the emptying Core while looking at Sapphire, who became increasingly worried and anxious. The more power flew off, the weaker the smaller wolf looked. He was panting hard and Nathaniel had to catch him after his legs failed him. It seemed like it wasn't working as he expected, the wolf boy wasn't losing his werewolf traits at all, but he was shrinking ever so slightly.

• "Sil... Silver... feel like... passing out..."

The black and white wolf was shivering and panting heavily. The Core was almost empty of its power but he had to continue and see it through. The wolf boy collapsed at the moment the Core was completely dried of all its power. Nathaniel monitored his breath and heart pulse closely while he closed the hole in the Power Core. At this moment, the werewolf boy started losing his wolfish traits. He slowly morphed back to human under Nathaniel's eyes. When the transformation was over, the silver wolf had in his arms a small and handsome young man with long blonde hairs and almost boyish features on his face. The Bride was worried that the man was passed out, but at least he was still alive and well. He took the power core once more, created a small barrier around it to prevent it from gaining any power and making him go back to werewolf. As the small man didn't wake up for the next couple minutes, Nathaniel decided against his will to infuse him with a bit of power. He brought his maw to the small human's mouth and began infusing some power in him. Now invigorated, Sapphire frowned before he opened his eyes weakly. Upon seeing the large wolf kissing him, he vigorously pushed away Nathaniel.

• "What are you doing?!" squeaked the human, "Assaulting me in my sleep, I'm going to-"

• "Just look at yourself before yelling at me. It worked." said Nathaniel while smirking.

Sapphire looked at the werewolf before he raised a hand in front of his face. His eyes went wide and he then tried to grab his nonexistent snout. He got up, almost tripping because the structure of his feet was back to humanoid again, and then he looked behind himself, not seeing any tail anymore.

• "I can't believe it... It actually worked!"

• "Only temporarily. And I don't know for how long it'll last."

• "You're amazi-" he cleared his throat, "You've been a very good boy. I'll reward you with another answer. Ask anything you like and I'll answer."

• "Anything?"

• "Anything."

Nathaniel pondered for a while. He could ask where Arkion was, but he was feeling like that trickster would dodge that particular question.

• "Why did you make me do all this? I don't mean the turning you back to human, I mean the carrying, the flower gift, the compliment, the 'I'll be here for you' and the hug."

• "I... Can I skip this question?"

• "You said any question, Sapphire."

• "I... I just want a friend... I've never had one before. I..."

• "What you made me do isn't what friends do, Sapphire."

• "You... I..." the small human was very confused. He was trying to find the words while blushing hard. And then, after a small while, his mind snapped. He was back to his cold self. "It was to tease you, of course, Silver. Did you really think I would have feelings for you? I already have a girlfriend and thanks to you I can finally go on a date with her again. I'll send her a text to ask her out tonight and then I'll lead you to Arkion."

The Bride was irritated, he felt really close to cracking Sapphire's shell. But he had gotten the right to see Arkion. Sir Curtis had turned away to tap a message on his phone. After a dozen minutes, the noble finally came back toward the Bride.

• "It's arranged! She's available this evening! This is the best day ever, I'll finally get to see her again! Come, follow me."

Nathaniel followed the Lord as he walked fast inside his mansion. It was almost funny to see Sapphire struggle in the clothes that were definitely way too big for him now that he was human again. The silver werewolf was led through countless halls, corridors and rooms, many of which were protected by biometric authentification like retina scans, fingerprints, voice recognition and so on. After a long walk inside the maze that was Sir Curtis' property, they reached a huge white door.

• "Behind this door, Silver, lies one of your trials. I wish you good luck."

Sir Curtis stood next to the door and started unlocking it while Nathaniel waited in front of it. As soon as it started opening, the Bride was assaulted by intense white lights. He looked away while protecting his eyes with his arms as the door slowly opened.

As soon as he was able to look inside the room, The Bride realized that he was in a huge hospital-like chamber with a very high ceiling. There was a single bed, upon which rested a scrawny five feet black werewolf. Nathaniel's heart skipped a beat, it was Arkion. He instantly dashed to the bed and knelt in front of it. For an hour he just held the small wolf's hand in his own. He rose on his feet and tried the bed; as it was definitely large enough for him to rest on, he slipped under the covers right next to Arkion and waited while holding his hand.

At some point, Arkion began frowning and breathing hard. He was mumbling unintelligible words, his ears were lowered and his heart rate was rising fast. His whole body was shivering. It lasted for a good minute, and during the whole time Nathaniel was looking at his lover, completely powerless. Until suddenly, Arkion's eye shot open and he rose in a sitting position on the bed.

• "Silver! No! Please, stop!" yelled the small black wolf. He took a few deep breaths before calming down. "That... nightmare again..." he said as he let himself backwards and land on the mattress.

The black wolf froze as he realized that someone was holding his hand. His body tensed instantly as he slowly turned his head toward Nathaniel, who was by that point in tears as he looked at the consequences of his mistake in the laboratory.

• "Silver? No! Why... Why are you here!?"

• "Arkion... I'm... I'm-"

• "Leave me alone! Are you here to finish me? Go away!"

• "Arkion please listen to-"

• "Shut up! Go away!"

The black wolf was weakly thrashing around in a desperate attempt to flee. Nathaniel was however much stronger than the smaller wolf and so he pulled on Arkion's arm to bring him into his embrace. Arkion tried to claw and bite Nathaniel, but the Bride wouldn't let go. After five minutes of battling, the black werewolf gave up and stopped struggling.

• "Why... why are you here... Silver?"

• "I'm here because-"

• "You seduced me before leaving me. And then you drained all of my power. And then forgot about me."

• "Arkion... I'm sorry."

• "You took everything from me! My dignity, my power, my tribe, and... and... and my... you almost took my life..."

• "I know... I know what I did was unforgivable."

• "Then... then why?"

• "I was in a life or death battle and I was too focused on it to see what was happening to you... I'm so sorry, Arkion, I just..." he had great difficulty getting the words out of his mouth. "I took way too much and I really didn't realize what was happening to you. Please, I beg of you, please forgive me. I will never ever do it again."

• "Why... did that happen?"

• "A large demonic werewolf was chasing both Kyle and me while we were escaping a dreadful underground laboratory. And this guy was crazy strong. He was threatening our lives. I had already seen him kill others to steal their power and didn't want to end up like those poor guys... I was too focused on my survival to look at you, I'm... I'm so sorry."

The smaller wolf didn't answer. Instead, he clung to Nathaniel's ample pectorals and buried himself deeper into the giant's fur. The Bride rolled on his back with the smaller wolf lying on his torso. Nathaniel began caressing Arkion's head with one hand while he grabbed the blanket with his other to cover the two of them in it. Neither of them spoke another word, they let their hearts and bodies talk instead. Arkion's heart rate slowed and his breathing calmed. He looked like he was slowly falling asleep, and he looked much more peaceful than a few moments ago. Nathaniel truly hoped that he'd be fine. Eventually, he too fell asleep, exhausted by the day he had lived.

Nathaniel was woken up by moaning sounds coming from the smaller wolf. Arkion looked like he had some very nice dreams, judging by how much cum was covering the Bride's belly. When the larger wolf began caressing his husband, he realized that the smaller guy was actually still asleep. He was humping wildly against the Bride's abdominals. Arkion's body tensed and he grabbed the Bride as he began cumming all over the larger wolf's torso.

• "Silver!" Arkion yelled, "I need you, Silver!"

His eyes opened as his orgasm reached its peak. His small dick sprayed ropes after ropes of cum all over Nathaniel, adding to the mess he had already made during the night. After a few moments, Arkion fell over the Bride, nuzzled against his giant fluffy neck while encircling it with his arms and holding on to it tightly.

• "Silver..."

• "What's up, little guy?"

• "I've thought about it, and... I hate you for enslaving me. I hate you for stealing my pride as the Blood Tribe's chief. I hate you for nearly killing me. I never wanted all of that."

Arkion began tearing up in Nathaniel's fluffy neck. The Bride began caressing the smaller wolf's back as he felt his regret taking over once more.

• "I'm so sorry, Arkion... I had no choice but to do that..."

• "I want a rematch, Silver. And if I win, you're going to give me what's mine again."

Right after he said that, Arkion pulled away from Nathaniel and dove for one of his large nipples, ravenously licking and suckling on it. The larger wolf moaned at the touch of the smaller wolf before asking.

• "What are you doing?"

• "I told you," replied Arkion between two licks, "this is a rematch for the other day. That's how you fought, right?"

Nathaniel's face lit up with a smile. He opened his arms wide and closed them around Arkion while getting in a sitting position, but the smaller wolf had disappeared. The black fighter grabbed Nathaniel's head in his arms and nibbled on one of the fluffy ears of the gray giant. Nathaniel smiled as he was reminded of his fight with Arkion from the other day. He tried once again to grab the black fighter without success. The smaller wolf was lying on the bed and began groping Nathaniel's butt.

• "Would you look at those!" said the black wolf.

Nathaniel turned on all fours, expecting to find the smaller wolf but Arkion clung tightly on to the giant and climbed on his back. As soon as his head reached Nathaniel's, he began breathing inside his ear before once again nibbling on it. The tension was great for the Bride, his massive dick was starting to rise from his sheath as the fight was very erotic. He rose on his knees and threw his arms back to grab the black fighter, who ducked and disappeared under the blanket of the bed. Nathaniel took it in his hands and lifted it, surprised to see that the smaller wolf was nowhere to be found. He looked around himself, then up and that's when Arkion struck. He quickly got out of under the bed and crawled before Nathaniel. In a few swift motions, he caressed the expanding shaft, the abdominals, nipples and pectorals of the bride, before leaping up and pushing the two of them back down on the bed. The larger wolf was lying on the bed, panting hard from desire. Arkion was over him, sitting on the large abdominals and looked with a wide grin on his face at the silver werewolf.

• "Looks like I win." said Arkion before licking his own lips.

• "I give up, Arkion. You truly are more worthy than me to be the chief of the Blood Tribe."

• "Now, it's time I claimed what's mine."

The black wolf grinned widely at the larger wolf. He dove for a kiss with the Bride, grabbing his two cheeks with his hands as his small tongue danced with Nathaniel's. The silver werewolf encircled Arkion in his arms and held him tightly in his embrace as they passionately made out. Their hearts were beating in unison as the link between the two was reforged and became stronger than ever. Arkion's Core shone brightly, split in four parts that relocated in his feet and hands, took on a reddish purple colour and reshaped into flames. Small patches of fur in Arkion's pelt lit up with dark fire, changing its colour into the same purple as the Core's. The new patterns appeared in the shape of flames tattoo that were pulsing with energy all over his legs, arms, back, pectorals and tail. Now pulsing with energy, Arkion dove even deeper into Nathaniel's mouth and relentlessly assaulted the Bride with his overflowing love. He broke the kiss and the two wolves looked at each other in the eyes with big smiles on their face. Both of their cocks were fully hard and leaking pre. Nathaniel was very disappointed when he saw that Arkion's erection only reached to about five inches. His own spire was throbbing at its full 3'10 long, leaking copious amounts of pre onto Arkion's back on which it was resting.

• "Now that's more like it!" said Arkion before licking Nathaniel's snout. "I don't know why, but I feel better than I ever have."

• "That... That was amazing, Arkion..."

• "Wai- wait a minute... what happened to me? What's with my fur? And what's with this overflowing power?" said the black werewolf as he was looking all over himself.

• "We awakened your power."

• "We awakwhat?"

• "Awakened. You're basically stronger than ever now. And so is our bond."

• "This... This is amazing! I feel so alive!" yelled Arkion while letting a burst of energy out, igniting his arms and legs with purple fire.

For some reason, Arkion's flames weren't hurting Nathaniel, nor were they burning anything around him. They felt heart warming to the touch. As the two of them were looking at the black werewolf's improved body, a familiar tingling sensation began coursing through Nathaniel's body. He felt his power grow stronger and stronger by the second, and he grew. His muscles expanded further, his nipples got slightly bigger, his hips became wider and his overall body grew in size. His whole fur became softer, longer and even fluffier than before. His already immense cock also grew a total of four inches, bringing the gigantic spire to 4'2 while he reached to just over eleven feet. Arkion too was growing but since he was scrawny to begin with, the growth wasn't all that impressive. It still brought him to half of Nathaniel's height and with a cock slightly less disappointing than before at seven inches.

Arkion stepped down of the bed and went in front of a glass window to take a good look at himself. He was in complete awe. He poured energy into his hands and materialized two purple fireballs. He fused them together and fed them more power to make it grow. He was mesmerised by his newfound power. Nathaniel moved to the side of the bed and sat there while also looking at the small wolf.

• "How do you like it, Arkion? That's your own power, the one I borrowed from you that time."

• "It's... incredible. I didn't know we werewolves could do this."

• "You can do it because you're one of my lovers."

Upon hearing that last word, Arkion lowered his ears and let go of his power, dissipating the fireball. He then walked to Nathaniel slowly with his head down. Upon arriving in front of the Bride, he looked up again.

• "Silver..."

• "It's alright, little guy. I gave you what you wanted and then some, right? Your power, your pride, and I returned your feelings. I love you Arkion, I truly do." said the Bride as he leaned to lovingly lick at Arkion's face.

• "I love you too, Silver. I'm sorry I doubted you."

• "It's alright." He said as he leaned backwards to rest on the bed. "Say, Arkion, isn't it a tradition in your tribe to... shame the loser?"

• "It is, why?"

• "Because..." he said while putting his legs up in the air and grabbing his enormous balls to lift them to show his butt to the smaller wolf, "I lost our fight."

Arkion hesitated for a second before grinning wide. He fell on his knees and caressed the large buttcheeks of his lover while nuzzling against the awaiting asshole. He licked all around the ring of flesh and groped the massive butt with his hands. Nathaniel was moaning as his small partner was exploring his behind thoroughly with his tongue and fingers.

Arkion lapped the hole a couple more time before letting it go and standing up. He lined up his throbbing cock with the large asshole and began pushing it in. The asshole was so big compared to his cock that he had no trouble inserting his knot with the first thrust. He grabbed his partner's legs and began rocking back and forth in accelerating movements. After a couple thrusts it felt like it was harder for him to push his knot in. As he looked at the Bride it struck him, it wasn't his partner that was getting tighter, he was getting bigger! Upon realizing that, he pulled his cock out completely of Nathaniel's hole and admired his spire. It reached over a foot already and was growing with each throb. He took it in one of his hand and began working it, taking the abundant precum and spreading all over his expanding length.

Nathaniel whined from need. He hadn't started to infuse power into Arkion for him to stop the fucking. Frustrated, he let go of his balls to grab his immense cock, lean and take it in his own maw. As he was suckling on his own spire, he felt his asshole being distended again. It was spread open far wider than a few moments ago as Arkion was very slowly inserting inch after inch inside his ass. It went well past where it reached earlier, making a large bulge in his lower belly. Arkion pushed more and more until his large knot was right against the tailhole of his lover. He then continued pushing, forcing the Bride's ass to stretch even wider to let the giant ball of flesh slide in inch after inch. Nathaniel had to let go of his own cock to let a moan of ecstasy as the cock inside him was bringing him to greater heights of pleasure. When finally the knot was fully in, Arkion began thrusting in fast motions while his cock grew more and more, making a bigger bulge in Nathaniel's belly with each passing second. As the black werewolf was also growing in height, he had now to kneel to continue fucking his lover.

As soon as Arkion reached to about the same height as Nathaniel, he leaned over his lover and began helping him in suckling the enormous cock between them. The Bride stopped pouring power inside Arkion to enjoy this position where the two of them were sucking and licking his cock. More often than not, their tongues intertwined. Until finally Arkion lost it, he dove for Nathaniel's mouth and began relentlessly assaulting his Bride's mouth with his tongue while wildly fucking him. The black werewolf grabbed his lover's cock and worked it fast. Nathaniel was getting very close to his orgasm, his spire was pumping an uninterrupted flow of precum all over his own chest. Arkion broke the kiss and dove a full foot on Nathaniel's cock, suckling it and milking it of all the pre. Nathaniel howled in pleasure as his orgasm began. A huge torrent of cum flowed deep in Arkion's throat. Some of it overflowed all around his muzzle, but he drank almost all of the shots of seed fired in his mouth. The warm cum was slowly filling his belly, making it swell slightly from the sheer amount of it. When finally he couldn't take any more, he let go of the cock and took a deep breath while the giant tool was shooting torrents all over the wall behind the Bride. Nathaniel took his cock in his maw and also drank the impressive flow, but his orgasm was already coming to a close and he didn't get much of it for himself. After it finally ended, he let go of his spire and breathed heavily. Arkion lapped his lover's muzzle before he grinned wide.

The black werewolf resumed his thrusting which had stopped when he began drinking his partner's load. He forcibly pulled his massive knot out, making Nathaniel howl weakly of pleasure as his rear entrance was once again stretched excessively wide by the enormous ball of flesh. The Bride felt empty when it finally popped out of his ass. But that feeling didn't last long as Arkion began pushing again, stretching his lover once more. Nathaniel didn't have the time to breathe as Arkion forced his knot in and out faster and faster. The insertion and pulling out became easier as his ass became stretchier with each time the knot slid into the Bride's asshole, until Arkion was knot fucking his lover wildly. Nathaniel was in complete bliss by this new kind of fucking. But he wanted more, he wanted Arkion's whole dick to be as wide as his knot currently was! And so, he began pouring huge amounts of power into the black werewolf.

Arkion didn't see right away that he was once again growing stronger and taller. But he realized it when his knot didn't fit inside his partner anymore, no matter how hard he tried to push it in. He was packing on inches at a very fast pace and his cock was reaching ever deeper in Nathaniel. Arkion grew past the twelve feet mark and showed no sign of stopping. Nathaniel blew another load, completely coating the wall behind himself with torrents of his seed. Arkion didn't even bother trying to get the flow this time, he just wanted to reach his own peak. But something was preventing him from orgasming. He grew and grew more and more, his muscles got stronger, his balls became massive, his frame bulkier and his cock ever longer and thicker. He passed the fifteen feet mark and his giant seven feet dick wasn't fitting inside his lover anymore. Every pulse of growth forced him out of his lover slightly more. He finally reached eighteen feet and his growth stopped. Only five of the eight feet of his cock were inside his lover and the bulge was protruding out of his belly, reaching up in front of the silver wolf's collarbone.

• "Arkion... Fill me!" ordered the Bride as he pushed in one last gigantic ball of power inside his lover.

The black werewolf burst two feet taller in size and so did his cock, bringing the massive tool to ten feet. His balls were truly massive, forcing his legs apart from each other and reaching down the ground between his knees. The flood that came from these giant balls was impressive. Nathaniel's belly instantly swelled to extreme sizes, making him look as if he was pregnant with a full litter. The excess cum began flowing from his asshole and through his mouth like a hose. Arkion intercepted the flow by taking his lover's maw into his own and drinking the load. His own belly grew and grew with the amount of seed he drank. Cum was splattering everywhere around them as the most powerful orgasm Nathaniel witnessed until now was unfolding right before his eyes.

Nathaniel felt truly happy making love with his husband while growing him. That was what he wanted. He couldn't care less about world domination. He just wanted to be with his husbands and love them. That's all he cared about, just filling and being filled by each other until they were completely spent, just like now. The warm seed of the black werewolf felt amazing in his body, the gigantic cock inside him made him experience pure bliss, and the incredible flow pumped in him, that was the best feeling.

The orgasm continued for a while, drenching everything around them in the larger wolf's cum. Arkion drank the overflow of his own load from Nathaniel's mouth, stopping every now and then to take a breather before he dove back on his lover again. There was an inch of seed covering the whole floor of the hospital chamber. As his orgasm finally weakened, Arkion fell forward over his now smaller lover. Their cum filled bellies smushed together, making both of their assholes shoot out cum from the sudden added pressure. The two of them hugged each other tightly while making out once more. Again, no words were needed, they just enjoyed each other's touch.

A couple hours passed and the both of them were finally soft. Their bellies were still slightly inflated, but most of the cum had escaped by dripping from their mouths or assholes during the afterglow and added to the mess on the ground. Arkion was standing up, admiring his huge body and striking poses for Nathaniel who was sitting on the edge of the bed and complimented the black wolf on his huge and sexy body.

• "It's a shame that I'll shrink back to my tiny self..." sighed Arkion, "I really like this size."

• "Well... last time I gave you power, your Core was still dormant, now it's awakened." admitted Nathaniel.

• "Huh?"

• "Awakened. That thing I told you about just earlier, the thing that gave you control over your own power of hellfire. Maybe awakened isn't the right word, it's... more powerful than an awakening..."

• "So... what does it have to do with my size?"

• "I think that once I make this strange reaction happen with my husbands, you guys are able to process the power better than before. Remember last time? I grew you a couple feet, but no matter how much power I poured into you, you didn't explode in size"

• "Yeah?"

• "Well, I gave you very little power today. And you just grew and grew and grew without stopping. And it also happened with Tide, he didn't shrink back."

• "Wait... so I'm going to stay a giant?"

• "Uh, yes? Didn't you say you loved it?"

• "I do, but... it's going to be very inconvenient to move around if I'm this big..."

• "Maybe. But hey, you know what's best with a body like yours? Come here and sit beside me" he added while tapping the cum soaked bed next to himself. Arkion came next to the bed and sat, making the bed protest from his immense weight. Upon seeing the puzzled look on his lover's face, he answered his own question "I'm just the right size to be your body pillow!" and he launched himself against the black werewolf's chest.

• "Wha-" replied the startled giant. He hugged his lover tightly and let himself fall backwards, making the two of them land on the bed. They looked at each other in the eyes. "Silver... I'm sorry. I love you. I love you so much." said the black titan as he began tearing up.

• "Now now, don't cry, my gentle giant." replied the silver werewolf while wiping away his lover's tears.

Arkion suddenly grabbed Nathaniel and pulled him close. The Bride encircled the black werewolf's massive neck with his arms and caressed him. The two of them once again enjoyed each other's warmth as they fell asleep.
