#11 of Snow Bunny


The blizzard was almost unbearable by the time Gira reached the den. She shivered, shaking her long hair to get the white flakes out. A clawed hand ran through it as she walked through the entrance into the large stone cave.

She ignored the hungry and vengeful stares she received as well as the admirable and curious ones. She flicked her hair back, head tilting up before rolling it down, eyes hard and threatening. The fearful stares quickly looked away and she sighed softly.

By the time she crossed the cave a shadow had crept around the edges and hot arms wrapped around her waist. "Hey, beautiful."

Gira smiled, head tilting forward as the man nuzzled her neck and hair. "Did you miss me that much, Adrex?"

Adrex growled hungrily, licking up the back of her neck as the she-wolf pulled her hair to the front to give him more access. "You know how I can't stand being away from you." He kissed the curve of her neck. "Did you have a nice visit with Kadell?"

Gira moaned, head falling backwards as her mate began to ravage the pale skin offered to him. "As always. He's going to go into heat soon, I could smell it."

Adrex growled lustfully again. "So are you." He rubbed his hips against her, making his arousal evident. "And it's driving me insane."

The she-wolf chuckled, twisting in her mate's arm until she was facing him, fingers playing with his short grey and white hair. "Is it really?"

Adrex moaned as her body pressed flush with his. "Definitely."

Their mouths met in a heated kiss, hands clutching and groping whatever they could. Adrex tried to devour her and Gira gave in, mouth opening wider for his tongue. He growled again, pelvis rubbing against hers.

Slowly, Adrex began to pull away, brown eyes opening and staring at something behind the woman. He finally wrenched his mouth away to growl low and threatening, claws flexing and lips pulling back to reveal long fangs.

Gira half looked behind her, knowing that there was another male standing yards away. He growled back at Adrex, his own claws already flexed.

Adrex's eyes flashed with rage and he began to slowly pull Gira behind him.

But Gira had enough of this.

She whipped around with a snarl, eyes flashing blinding white. She slashed her claws out towards the challenging male and he immediately backed down and away as fast as he could.

She straightened, shoulders back and head tilted up as she glowered down at the other wolves. No one dared to mess with a direct descendant when they were pissed off. It was like begging to be castrated.

Gira didn't stop her intimidations as Adrex's arms fastening around her waist from the behind again, his mouth hungrily mouthing and biting her neck.

"So... fucking... hot..."

Gira smirked, one hand reaching back to run through his hair. "You would think that they would know that after several pups with you, and three surviving to adulthood, I wouldn't want to switch partners." She couldn't suppress the moan that tore through her throat as his hands began to wonder. "I will not... tolerate... challengers... oh god, Adrex!" His hand slid up her inner thigh. "We can't... not yet..."

Adrex growled before whimpering as she pulled his hand away.

"Just wait, my love. Wait..."

Adrex couldn't help but to pout and scowl. "I hate waiting."

"So do I."

She kissed the back of his hand before he wove his fingers with hers, giving her hand a gentle squeeze.

"What's wrong, Auntie Gira? Your mate too much to handle?"

Grey eyes snapped upwards to the young wolf crouched at the edge of the upper levels. "Hello, Derek. Having a fun time spying?"

Dari approached her mother from the shadows, looking weak and starved. "Ignore him, mother. He's just jealous because he's going to remain a virgin for the rest of his miserable little life." She gave a soft whimper when Gira nuzzled her.

Adrex smirked. "Be nice to your cousin. It's not his fault he's a little lap dog to his grandfather."

Derek flushed angrily. "Shut up! And you know the rules, Gira. You're not supposed to chase challengers off! Your mate should be strong enough to fend for himself and you."

Silver eyes snapped up at him and glared murderously. Derek felt a jolt of fear tear down his spine and he had the urge to flee. He curled in on himself a little bit before the she-wolf smirked and looked down at her weak daughter.

"Come on. Let's find you some food."

Derek glared at the retreating females and caught the venomous scowl Adrex threw at him before the male leapt up to where he was.

Derek yelped in surprise and reared backwards. He landed at a sprawl, staring fearfully up at the adult male.

"Listen closely, Derek." Adrex growled threateningly. "Leave my mate and children alone, you miserable excuse for a full blood."

Derek recovered his posture and stood but found that Adrex was full grown and he, sadly, was not. He had to look up and try to glare down at him at the exact same time. "Or what?"

Adrex smirked, eyes flashing with something threatening. "Or something very bad will happen to you."

"You can try, bitch, but my grandfather won't let you lay a hand on me."

"But he's not here right now, is he?" He leaned down and whispered into the pup's ear. "And he can't be everywhere at once. You better start defending yourself, puppy." With that, he left, leaving Derek alone and scared.

The young wolf snarled, shaking his head violently. "Whatever. I'm a full blood and he's just measly normal wolf. He can't do shit."

Derek moodily made his way back to his friends, kicking pebbles off the cliff as he went. He ignored the angry growls he got from the wolves on the lower levels.

Barex was the first to look up and greet him. "Derek! Right on time. Saren's mate has changed three times since you left and there's another fight over her right now."

Derek plopped down between him and Moku. "Between who?"

"Jorin and Sire."

"Ooo... tough call. Who's her mate now?"

"Jorin."

The two wolves roared, Jorin dropping to quick crouch as Sire leapt at him. The younger wolf slid out and quickly flipped up, swinging a kick at the other. Sire grabbed it and threw Jorin to the ground. The younger tried to get up fast enough but Sire grabbed his head and slammed it against the ground.

Derek winced as the scent of blood reached him. "Ouch. That sucks."

Ethan straightened to get a better look. "He looks down for the count."

Barex reclined back. "Jorin has that speed but speed can only do so much against Sire's strength."

The others nodded and watched at Sire circled the prone wolf before growling deeply and walking over to him newly won mate. Saren looked down bashfully before raising blue eyes to peak up at him through pale lashes. Sire ran a clawed hand through her grey colored hair before nuzzling her.

"Sire's Adrex's cousin, right?" Derek asked.

Ethan shook his head negatively. "No... nephew? Uncle? Estranged grandfather? Who knows anymore?"

Barex snorted. "If you get down to it all, we're all cousins. Does it really matter?"

Derek's eyes narrowed as Sire rested his forehead against Saren's as she slid small, graceful hands down his chest. "Do they know each other?"

"We all know each other-"

"I meant do they know each other? They seem pretty intimate to me."

Ludus yawned loudly. "I think she may have approached him to ask for him to fight for her."

Barex smirked. "Hey, Derek. Didn't she approach you as well?"

Derek growled threateningly. "Shut up."

Ethan looked at him shocked. "She WHAT? No, fucking way! What did you do?"

"I'm not of age yet so I turned her down."

"Yeah but you could get away with it."

Derek smirked. "I could, couldn't I?"

"Three new females are going to participate in mating season this year and all three are younger than us." A quiet voice said from Derek's right. "And they're mating with males who are twice their age. It doesn't seem right."

Derek looked at his dark skinned friend for a second. "I guess not but we're demons. Age only means how strong you are to have survived that long."

Ludus looked at Moku as well. "Aren't you of age now?"

Derek stiffened. That's right. Moku was older than them even though he didn't look it. He could mate if he chose to.

"Yeah, Moku." Barex said. "Why aren't you down there proving your manly pride with some good old blood sports?"

Before Moku could speak Derek let out a harsh laugh. "'Manly pride?' I don't think he knows the meaning of the word."

Moku cast his eyes down and didn't say anything.

Derek became worried but hid it with a mocking tone. "Hey, Moku. Where's the 'shut up' and snappy come back? What happened? Did I finally break you? I knew it. You're so my bitch."

Moku just stared at the ground some more.

Derek turned towards his friends, starting to get worried. "What the hell is up with pussy b-"

"Shut up, Derek!" Ethan hissed before saying kindly to Moku. "Don't listen to him. He's just a jerk."

Barex looked down. "I'm sorry for bringing it up, Moku."

Okay, he was definitely missing something. "What the hell is going on?"

Moku whispered. "You wouldn't care."

"Like hell I wouldn't!" Derek bit his tongue harshly for how that may have sounded. "The world has gone mad and I feel left out." He congratulated himself for the weak save.

Moku's sapphire eyes slid closed. "Just please... leave it alone."

There was something in Moku's tone that made him hold off, for now. He was now on a mission and wouldn't stop until he found out what the hell happened.

He reached over and cupped Moku's chin, tilting it so he could see the half healed slash that marred his cheek. "Your cut his healing nicely." He leaned over and gave a healing lick up it. It was his way of saying 'I'm sorry.'

He suppressed the shiver that threatened to tear through his body.

It was for medicinal purposes only. It was to show that he cared about what happened to his underlings. He was in charge of his mini pack. He had to make sure everyone was healthy. That was why he licked him, not to taste that tanned skin.

"No thanks to you."

Derek's hold on his chin turned to a hand clenching his jaw painfully as Moku was forced to look up at the other wolf.

Derek growled, eyes flashing. "What did you say? I did that so they would have encouragement to find that bastard cat and to make it look like we put up a fight."

"No! You did that because I insulted you."

"Oh yeah... forgot about that."

Moku glared at him before wrenching his face out of Derek's hand. "That's all you care about! How you fucking look to you bastard grandfather! You don't care about anything else but that!"

Derek looked like he was just slapped with a fish. "Whoa, what? When did Raklyn get into this and why are you freaking out?"

Moku was on his feet, hyperventilating and claws flexed. "You don't care about anyone but yourself!"

Derek stood up too, eyes narrowed dangerously and frustration getting the better of him. "What the hell are you talking about?"

Derek reached out a hand to grab Moku's arm but the boy flinched back like he was the plague. "Don't TOUCH ME!"

Derek's brows drew together in confusion and his hand snatched out and grabbed the boy's arm, knowing that he was having a panic attack. It wasn't the first time he dealt with this. He knew if he held Moku long enough he would calm down.

Moku roared and before he knew it his hand slashed out.

The scent of blood floated through his confused mind and Moku's eyes snapped up. He didn't move as he saw three deep, bleeding claw marks going down Derek's left eye.

Moku did the only thing he could think of, bolting before Derek could recover from the shock.

Ethan called after Moku and got up to run after him but Derek's arm shot out and snatched the boy when he tried to run passed him. Ethan turned his head to snap at him but froze. "Fuck, Derek. He got you good."

Luckily, Moku's claws didn't go into the boy's eye and just cut up his brow and cheek. Regardless of that, Derek was furious.

"What the HELL was that?!" He growled through clenched teeth.

Barex glowered at him. "Serves you right, dickhead."

Derek's head snapped back to look at him, eyes glowing bright silver with fury. "WHAT?"

Ludus looked at him disapprovingly. "You're so insensitive."

Derek looked at them with a mixture of horror and disgust. "Alright... explanations, NOW!"

Ethan glared it him. "Moku's of age."

"So?"

"He won't spend mating season with us in the back caves asleep. He'll be with the other wolves who don't have mates. To be specific: Raklyn."

It took a while for the words to penetrate Derek's thick scull. "Oh." He blinked. "Rape."

"Duh. Took you long enough."

He let go of Ethan. "Oh. But that doesn't really mean he's going to get raped. I mean... there's other wolves there that won't allow it."

Barex sat up. "And there are plenty who would. I mean, look at him! He's the most effeminate wolf out there! They're all going to be in heat and the moment they see Moku's soft features and lean body they'll be all over him like he's fresh meat. Which he is, if you think about it."

Derek didn't need to be told what Moku looked like. He knew that, a little too well but he did. "So he's scared?"

"No fuck, shit head."

"Okay... stop that or I'll be forced to make you." But there was no real force behind Derek's words. He was too absorbed in his own thoughts. He felt fear sting at him. "I'll be in my room."

Moku huddled in the furthest cave he could find from Derek. He cried, he didn't want to but he did. He wept so hard that he couldn't breathe and began to hiccup.

What was he going to do? He'll go into heat and he'll be with Raklyn and he already made it clear what he wanted from the boy. And then he had lashed out at Derek, drawing blood.

Oh god, he was going to die!

"Kad... Kadell..."

He continued to sob mercilessly until he couldn't cry any longer. But he didn't move. He stayed in his fetal position in the back of the cave, praying no one found him.

But he had the worst of luck.

Barex walked through the entrance, eyes adjusting to the darkness. "Moku?"

He should have known the boy would find him. He could smell a hawk miles away with just one whiff of the breeze.

Moku tried to make his voice as normal as possible but it proved to be impossible. "G-Go away."

Barex crossed the cave and sat next to him, rubbing his shoulder comfortingly. "Are you alright?"

Moku shook his head negatively. "No... no I'm not. I'm cold, hungry, and scared. Derek is going to murder me!"

Barex gave his shoulder a squeeze. "He's not. He understands now. He's slow but he's not that dense when you lay it out from him. He won't kill you."

Moku looked up at the other. "You think?"

Barex sighed before standing, holding out a hand to the other boy. "Come on. There's only one way to get through this."

Moku took it and Barex pulled him to his feet. "I know."

Derek sat on his bed, fingers folded together, elbows resting on his knees. His forehead rested on his hands as he waited, collecting his thoughts.

"Derek?"

He shot Moku a death glare, not moving at all.

The boy whimpered before slowly walking towards the other. He got to his knees before crawling over to him. He whimpered again once he got to Derek's feet, nuzzling them. When the full blood didn't do anything, he moved to his calf, then knee. He let out a soft whine. He sat at Derek's feet, face rubbing against the outside of his knee and part of his thigh.

Derek sighed, dropping one hand to run through the boy's thick hair. Moku whined again, nuzzling his head into the forgiving hand.

He whispered quietly. "I'm sorry."

Derek smiled softly. "You're forgiven." His hand wrapped around Moku's upper arm and he pulled the boy into his lap so that he was straddling him. His eyes shut as Moku's gentle hands touched his cut, hissing in breath as he did. Derek rather liked it when Moku would straddle him, the boy's thighs gripping his, his groin so deliciously close to his.

No! Bad thoughts! Bad!

Derek didn't move as Moku licked up the dried blood, cleaning it the only way he knew how. Derek suppressed a low moan that threatened to escape his throat. Moku's tongue was so hot and broad... it would feel so good in other places...

Derek couldn't stop his thoughts any longer. They were too good to. It would hurt him more if he did than to let himself fantasize about the beautiful boy in front of him. What he wouldn't give to be kissing Moku, their tongue wrapped around each other, hands stroking down bodies. He would give his eyes just to have Moku touch him, to look at him with want, even if he couldn't see it. He would give his heritage, his soul, his power, anything to have Moku desire him like the boy desired Kadell.

Moku pulled back from his cleaning but Derek had his hands on his hips so he stayed put. "Derek?"

Silver eyes looked at him.

"After my parents died, you took care of me. You said you would help and protect me. No one else offered." He smiled. "You're my only family."

Desire stabbed through his heart. "Moku-"

"Let me finish. I'm of age now and..."

Derek's heart was pounding against his chest.

"And I'm scared and I'm sorry I didn't tell you before. I told the others before you because... because I thought you were going to make fun of me."

"Why would I do that?"

Moku looked at him pointedly and Derek winced. "Okay... so I mock you a lot but if you're this scared I wouldn't." He looked into blood shot blue eyes. "I'm not now."

"True... but you make fun of me a lot and I was just worried and..." Moku took a deep breath and Derek thought his heart would burst out of his chest with hope. "Raklyn cornered me the other day... and..." Moku let out a sob he was holding. "He's going to rape me, Derek! He said he would! I asked him not to but he said I didn't have a choice and..." Moku could barely speak through his crying. "And he described all the things he was going to do to me and... I'm so scared, Derek!"

Derek immediately hugged the weeping boy to his chest. His eyes closed as Moku's hands gripped his shirt as he cried into his shoulder.

The full blood ran his hand through Moku's hair, nails scraping the scalp in the way he knew the boy liked. He made no effort to quiet him, just to give what little comfort he could.

He did know one thing: there was no way in hell he was going to let his grandfather touch the boy.

He bit his lip, letting his head rest on top of Moku's. He was no longer straddling him but draped over his lap, half curled around him as his forehead pressed into Derek's neck. He hiccupped once in a while but besides that he had calmed down.

This wasn't the first time Derek had held Moku while the boy cried. Whenever things got to be too much and the dam that Moku held everything behind burst, he was there to help him rebuild. It was something he had promised Moku a long tome ago to always do.

Moku groaned, eyes closed in exhaustion, face nuzzling Derek's neck so that his closed eyes pressed into the boy's warm skin.

Derek sighed, building up his courage. "Moku?"

"Mmmhhrrmm... sleep..."

"I know but I have to ask you something." Deep breath, don't think. "Wannaspendmatingseasonwithme?" Oh crap.

Moku made a face, squirming in Derek's hold. "What?"

An angel popped up on Derek's right shoulder. 'Oh thank god he couldn't understand! Quick! Make something up!'

With a roar of flames a little demon showed up on the other. 'NO! KEEP ON TRACK! This is your big chance! Fuck that bitch!'

'NO! You love him and have a friendship! You'll ruin it and he'll hate you! And he is not a bitch!'

The devil crossed his arms. 'When did you escape the box?'

'I have my ways.'

"Err..."

Devil hissed. 'Golden opportunity... you'll never get another chance to fuck his hot ass.'

'Seduction! You can seduce him!'

'YES! SEDUCE HIM! Grab his ass! Groin! HUMP HIS LEG!'

'Shut up! Listen, he'll never forgive you if you take advantage of him while he's in heat.'

'Who cares? Fuck first, think second. Or not at all! That always works out.'

Moku tried to pull a little back to look up at him but Derek had a good hold on him. "Did you just ask me to spend mating season with you?"

'...'

'...'

Derek's voice floated pleadingly through the silence. Uh... guys? HELP?

"Because I would say yes."

Derek almost had a heart attack, angel simultaneously combust, and devil die of lack of blood flow to the brain.

'YES! SAY YES!'

'Say it! Screw him senseless!'

'What happened to 'seduction'?'

'Fuck it! I want to get laid, damn it!'

"Yes? I'm going to stay here alone anyways because I don't want to be in the other cave. There's a bolder to block the door and no one would dare bug me so... yeah?"

Moku smiled but still found that Derek's arms were trying to crush him. "Alright. Anything is better than being Raklyn's fuck toy. So are we going to take the sleeping draft? Because I am. What are you going to do?"

"..."

'...'

'...'

'I should have known.'

'GODDAMN IT!'

Derek's arms loosened around the boy and Moku pulled back to lie on the blankets. "I don't know." Derek tried to keep the sadness, frustration, and defeat out of his voice. "I think I'll see how long I can last."

Moku gave him a sleepy smile. "Alright. Thank you, Derek. You can be really nice when we're alone."

"Uh... thanks? I guess? You're such a little brat."

'I guess we'll have to wait another year.'

'RAPE HIM! RAPE HIM NOW!'
