#20 of Snow Bunny


Moku always knew he would die at a young age. It was more than a grim thought, it was a fact that he had accepted. He always wondered how it would happen though. The top five that he dubbed most likely were freezing, animals, suicide, beaten too roughly, or bleeding to death by being sodomized.

But out of all the possible scenarios he would never have imagined being killed by a pissed off cat demon.

He didn't know what "hsahr de mrakensahl" meant but he had a feeling that it had something to do with violence or other such things that he did not like.

He really wished he paid more attention when his mother was teaching cat demon because the cat demon was glaring at him with the utmost hatred. It was the single most alarming experience of his life. For there he was, bleeding, beaten, shoulder dislocated and under the wrath of his race's most feared and hated enemy.

Yes, he was going to die. He just hoped it would be fast.

Derek couldn't sleep. He wanted to pace but Ethan would've had kittens again if he was caught trying to move again. The full blood had never been more afraid before, never filled with this unimaginable terror. Every time he shut his eyes he could see Moku's lifeless, mutilated body in the snow. Every time he blinked the image of Moku being gang raped flashed before him. The empty room echoed with Moku's screams of pain and pleadings.

He would go mad before Barex even returned.

"Derek?"

The full blood shot up to a sitting position, hope filling his chest before crashing down as he noticed his aunt.

"Yes, Gira?"

At least she would be a nice distraction.

The she-wolf stayed at the opening, arms gripping her biceps. Derek growled softly as he noticed no real bleeding wounds or bandages. "I just want to apologize for earlier. I didn't mean to fight with you. I'm sorry."

Derek was shocked and felt good for some reason. But he forced this away as anger filled him. "What about Moku?"

Gira looked at him confused. "Moku?"

"It was him that you were aiming for. Does he get an apology also or is he not good enough for you humility." Derek let acid drip from every word.

Gira's tongue slid across her teeth thoughtfully. "Moku and I are not on the best of terms right now."

"Why? Because he was ass raped by your fucking brother?"

Gira completely froze, icy eyes widening. "How do you know?"

Derek growled lowly, fangs bare. "It doesn't mater. What makes you think you have the right to threaten him? You're a bitch, Gira! A fucking manipulative bitch that deserves to be killed in the worse way imaginable."

Derek immediately knew that he crossed a line but he was angry, frustrated, and scared. He trembled and felt tears creep up on him for an unknown reason but he pushed them back but they seemed to be unstoppable. He bowed his head and whispered. "Has anyone left the den?"

Gira studied him before replying softly. "A few hunting parties but besides that, no."

Derek swallowed hard. "Is Raklyn here?"

"Yes."

"Is Katsu?"

"No. He left a few hours ago."

"Oh god." Derek clutched his stomach as he felt a wave of nausea. This was not happening. Please let it be a nightmare.

Gira walked over to him, placing a jar of white cream on the blankets. "This will help your injuries. In an hour all the cuts will be gone and bruising fading. You will feel a little sore but not enough to interfere with running or any such activity." She walked towards the opening. "You know, if you wanted to. Not that there would be any reason for you to run northwest passed Draylon Mountain or anything."

Derek eyed the cream before looking up to see his aunt disappear. He snatched it up. "ETHAN! I need your help!"

Liolyn had no idea why he saved the boy. He had slept with Kadell, after all. He deserved whatever fate that fell upon him. But there was something about the boy that made a person pity him, be drawn to him.

He didn't know if he wanted to fuck him or kill him.

It was all very stressful.

But as he gazed down at the beaten wolfling he couldn't help but to feel bad. The poor boy was trembling and bleeding and couldn't move. He attempted to drag himself away but it didn't work out. His right arm was completely useless and he couldn't extend the left.

Liolyn let out a defeated sigh. Stupid conscience.

"I'm not going to hurt you."

Moku immediately froze, staring at the cat demon. "You can speak my language?"

"Yeah, I can." His eyes studied the wolf. "Do you want help?" He hated himself. Hated.

Moku paused, about to decline but thought better of it. "Please? My shoulder is dislocated. It would be great if you could pop it back in."

Liolyn sighed again, hating cute boys. They always had this affect of him. "Sure."

Moku sat up, gritting his teeth as a clawed hands grabbed his arm and shoulder.

"Ready?"

No. "Yea-AAAAAAAH FUCKING GOD!"

Moku slumped forward, whimpering and clutching his shoulder. He didn't notice the fact that he was leaning against the cat demon.

"Ow..."

Liolyn didn't move, the boy's scent strong and... familiar? There was something... something hidden there. He couldn't place it. But he knew he knew that scent.

"We should move. It would be bad if the jackasses woke up and saw me."

Moku nodded and allowed himself to be picked up.

"That's it! I'm going."

Ethan looked distressed as Derek got up and started to walk towards the exit. "But you have to wait an hour! Derek!"

The full blood growled, flopping back down, ignoring the stings of pain. "Fine. How long has it been?"

"Five minutes."

"...Fuck it!"

"DEREK!"

HHhhhddMoku stared at the cat demon, claws sinking into the bark behind him. The cat sat across from him on the same branch, balancing easily. On foot dangled as the other one bent to prop his elbow on. Gold eyes stared at him.

Once again, Liolyn had no idea why he saved the boy (it was a thought that went around like a broken record player). He had smelled Moku when out in the forest and decided to follow, seeing the chase. He had every intention at leaving the boy to be raped, he had slept with Kadell after all, but there was something about him not giving in that sparked something. That and his blood had a hint of something different. The scent was so well hidden that he almost missed it. But he knew that scent from somewhere. He just had to remember...

"What are you?"

Moku shifted a little bit, his wounds still hurting. "I'm a wolf demon."

"Obviously but what else?"

"Umm... an artic wolf demon?" Moku really didn't understand the cat's question.

Liolyn rolled his eyes. "Yes, yes, I know. But that's the majority of your blood. What's that other part?"

Moku cocked his head to one side. "I don't understand. I'm a full wolf. There's nothing else."

"That's a lie. There's something else. I know there is. The wolves I've met don't move like you do and your body structure is completely different. You're lean and small to they're built and tall. There's something else. It's small but there."

Moku blinked. "I have blue eyes."

Liolyn looked t him curiously. "So?"

"Wolves don't usually have blue eyes. I've only seen two others and that was my mother and my cousin, Saren. There's no one else. I've never thought of it." Moku shook his head. "But that doesn't mean I'm not all wolf! I am. We don't cross species like cats do. Our blood is not to be mixed with others. I mean, our half humans are sterile and reproduction with foxes is impossible. I must be an ancient breed that's dying. I've seen them before. There's only two left that I know of."

"Hn. Thrilling." Liolyn answered automatically, not really listening. "So you're not human and not fox... what else could you be?"

Moku flushed angrily. "I'm not anything! I'm a wolf!"

"Right. Fine. Don't tell me. I'll remember eventually. Just wait."

The wolf let out a defeated sigh before raising shy blue eyes to look at him. "Why did you save me?"

Liolyn shrugged. "I have no clue, kid. I've been asking myself that this whole time."

Moku looked away bashfully. "Thank you."

Liolyn surveyed him again. "Why were those wolves chasing you?"

"It's nothing really."

"You might as well tell me. You're not going anywhere anytime soon."

The young wolf shrunk back against the tree, staring at the branches. "They've always wanted me so it's not that unusual for me to be chased down and forced to submit."

"Have they ever fucked you?"

A red flush exploded acroos Moku's face. "I don't think it's any of your business."

"Look, kid." The cat's voice was even but something about it had a hint of danger in it. "I just saved your ass. The least you could do is humor me."

The wolf demon swallowed before bowing his head in defeat. "What was the question again?"

"Have they ever fucked you?"

Moku shook his head negatively. "No. Our leader wanted to be the first but he has other plans for me. I was guaranteed my virginity as long as I was to seduce another wolf. But that's not really guaranteeing everything because I was ordered to sleep with him. But I wanted to. I love-thought I loved him so the prospect of loosing my virginity to him wasn't bad. Unfortunately, I took too long and I reached the age to go into heat. The deal was terminated and I was supposed to go to Raklyn, our leader." The words were just flowing out of him, chipping away at a small ache in his heart.

"Did you?"

"No. I hid with another wolf that's my friend. I knew he wanted me but I was sure he wouldn't try anything too bad. I slept through mating season but he stayed up through part of it."

"Is this boy the same one that beat the crap out of you?"

Moku looked at him surprised. "Yeah... you remember that?"

Liolyn grinned. "Yep. Continue."

"After that Raklyn got mad. He cornered me and... and he was going to rape me but he didn't have the chance to. Derek -my friend that I stayed with -interrupted and got Raklyn to leave. I'm not sure if what he said was the truth or not but it saved me. After that all I wanted to do is to be with the one I thought I loved. It was my only thought. I wanted to be with him again."

"Is this wolf's name 'Kadell'?"

Shocked blue eyes snapped to him. "Yes. How did y-"

"Continue."

The cat demon looked sad for some reason but Moku obeyed. "When I found him, I don't know. We got into an argument about what happened a long time ago and when we were done he licked my face where I had been hit by Raklyn. I couldn't stop myself after that. I kissed him and told him that I loved him. I remember how he had this glazed over look, like he was thinking about something. He kissed me harder and I straddled him. We kissed and... stuff."

"Go into detail." Liolyn voice was emotionless, eyes staring at the branch but seeing nothing.

Moku blushed. "His hands traveled over my body and it felt good. I said his name but he didn't hear me. He was making this... growling, mewling noise like he was trying to... get to something. I'm not sure. He pushed me against a tree and he felt so hot against my back. I was scared because it was my first time but he was touching me everywhere and I didn't want it to stop."

"Did he prep you?"

Moku shook his head negatively.

"Use anything?"

"He spat into his hand and used that but it burned like he didn't use anything. When he, um... fucked me he whined and whimpered. Every time he, you know... uh... thrust he whimpered and went harder and faster. He ripped me pretty badly but I never told him to stop. I just thought that it was supposed to hurt like that. Anyways, when he... finished he whimpered something. I think it was a name but I didn't recognize it. He kind of froze, pinning me to the tree. When he pulled out he wouldn't look at me. He told me that I could have the rabbit he killed because he thought I was prostituting myself out for food. But the way he acted I knew that wasn't the case. He understood my feelings."

"Then what happened?"

"He told me that what we just did was an accident and he didn't mean to. He said that he didn't love me the same way I loved him... he said he loved someone else."

"Me."

Blue eyes snapped up to look at the cat demon. "What?"

Liolyn lunged forward, pinning the boy to the tree. His tongue thrust into the boy's surprised mouth, fucking it and toying with its unresponsive partner. The wolf made an alarmed and surprised noise, struggling but ineffectively because of his injuries. Liolyn cupped the back of the boy's head, tilting it back and giving a better angle.

Moku slowly gave in, hands falling limply to his sides. He moaned, the cat's tongue wrapping around his pleasurably. That tongue ran up the roof of his mouth and he shivered.

Liolyn pulled back to whisper. "Sex isn't supposed to hurt. It feels very, very good with the right amount of lubrication. Do you understand?"

Moku still had his eyes closed and Liolyn grinned arrogantly. "Did you like that?"

His tongue slid over Moku's lips and the wolf melted. Liolyn caught him as he started to fall off the branch.

The cat chuckled. "I'm too good to be allowed."

Moku clutched the cat demon for support. "I shouldn't have done that."

Liolyn's tongue crept out to slide up the curve of the boy's pointed ear. "What are you talking about? I did that and proudly take credit for it."

"Oh..." Moku still seemed dazed from the mind blowing kiss. "Right... yeah... But if Derek finds out it's going to be bad."

Liolyn switched their positions so that he was leaning against the trunk and Moku was in his lap. "You're cute." He licked at the slightly bleeding bite mark with healing licks, cleaning off the dried blood.

"Why did you kiss me?"

"Seemed like a good idea at the time."

"Why?"

Liolyn shrugged, lapping at the marks and bruises, cleaning like he did with Daemon. "Because... the only sex you've had, or almost had, has been forced and rough. You have a tainted view of it. I wanted to give you a pleasurable perspective on it. And besides-" he nibbled a spot before giving it a hard lick. "I wanted to know what all the fuss was about."

"Oh... And when I said that Kadell loved someone else-"

"He means me. He loves me."

Moku felt tears welding up and his throat felt dry. "Oh." He tried to hold back his emotions but he couldn't. He began to cry. It hurt, seeing the man that had stolen his first love. Even if he didn't love Kadell anymore, it still ripped his heart.

Liolyn hugged him. "I'm sorry."

Moku choked, gripping Liolyn's shirt. "I h-hate myself."

Gold eyes closed, his cheek resting on white hair.

"I don't want to live anymore..."

Liolyn wanted to kiss him again but resisted. He just wanted to show the wolf that there was something better. He couldn't hate Moku anymore. It wasn't the boy's fault. "Don't say that. I know many people who would be sad if you died."

Moku sniffled but couldn't stop the tears. He wanted to be back in the hole in the wall with the rock covering it. He wanted his mother to shield him from the outside world. He wanted Drake back. He wanted him to show him fatherly love again. He wanted Kadell to protect him. He wanted to be his shadow again. But most of all, all he wanted right now was Derek. He wanted his unrestrained anger, his misguided emotions. He wanted him to touch him gently again. He wanted that kiss.

"Leopard."

Moku sniffled, nuzzling his head into the cat's neck. "What?"

"I figured out what you are. You're part snow leopard. That's why you can't tell by coloring. Snow leopards have blue eyes and their bodies and small and slender. Just like you."

"That's stupid... who ever heard of a cat and wolf mating? Besides... um... I assume you and K-" Moku's voice caught on the name.

"Lust is a very strange thing, Moku, as you know very well."

Moku felt sleep clawing at him. "I still think you're wrong."

Liolyn nuzzled him gently. "Even if the blood line is distant, you would still have one thing that will prove that you're part cat demon, even if the blood is just a drop. There would be a diamond shaped birth mark where your tail should be."

Moku whispered. "I'll check but it won't be there..."

Liolyn smiled down at the wolf as the boy fell asleep. Well, that was entertaining.

"What the hell is going on?"

"Shut up and keep running!"

"But why?!"

"Because I said so!"

Ludus' eyes narrowed as he weaved between the trees, trying to get level with Barex's mad sprinting. "That's not good enough."

Barex growled, eyes narrowing in frustration. His nostrils flared, the scent of blood tingling his senses. It made his eyes dilate and instincts kick into overload. His mind picked out each scent, one overwhelming the rest. First, he smelled Moku's blood in overwhelming proportions. And with the blood he smelled fear. Next, he smelt Katsu's blood. The mixture of both Moku's and Katsu's blood was not a good thing, especially since Derek would blame him for not reaching Moku in time. But that wasn't making him push his body to the max. The more he followed the wolves' scent the more of another scent he smelled.

He smelled that cat demon again.

Golden eyes slowly slid open as a light breeze rustled through the pines. The branches waved slightly, the crisp scent of needles wafting over him. But something else was hidden deep within the scent.

Wolves.

Barex slowed, panting audibly. His whole body seemed to move with his breaths, his legs burning and face flushed. The sweat on his brow and neck cooled and made him shiver.

Snow sprayed as Ludus finally came to a stop, snow blasting from digging in his heals. He fell backwards, his wheezing sounding so much louder in the empty forest.

"I... hate... you..."

Barex's eyes narrowed, hackles rising. Something was not right.

He yelped as something landed in front on him, immediately dropping to a defensive position. Ludus was up as well, eyes wide with surprise and fear as he gazed upon the intruder.

"Oh shit..."

Barex's eyes roamed quickly over the cat demon, taking in this lethal threat, but they soon snapped to the unconscious bundle in his arms.

Moku.

He swallowed hard, trembling in fear. A growl came from the back of his throat but it sounded weak and fearful. He couldn't take on a cat demon, not in his exhausted state. Ludus would be little help.

Liolyn shifted Moku in his arms. "Take him. He's been badly hurt but he should be alright."

Barex blinked dumbly a few times, staring blankly at the cat demon.

"You are his friends, right? Take him home."

Ludus came up behind Barex cautiously, eyes never leaving Liolyn. He gave the other a soft nudge, trying to poke him into action.

Barex gulped, slowly crawling toward Liolyn and taking Moku into his arms. "Uhrm... Thank you?"

Liolyn gave a small smile before leaping into the trees and disappearing into the forest.
