Terms Of Treaty 1 : The Princess and Alpha
Lucas again glanced down at the ridged form of the tiny elf walking beside him. Many members of the pack had come to greet their return but now stood away, staring curiously. Connor was not going to like this little surprise very much. The idea of his elder litter-mate frowning with an annoyed face managed to give Lucas a lopsided grin. It could work out if things where done carefully. Plus if his alpha did manage to pull this off the pack would be free from the elve's constant interference. But still he felt sorry for the slip of a female and so once more he glanced down at her. She was walking with small steps that forced him and the others to slow their own pace. He did not blame her though, she was trapped in a rather uncomfortable looking dress. Endless bunches of cloth sprang all around her and she was covered from neck to toe. The strange, formal elf clothing had indeed helped to hinder her pace but Lucas knew it was their breed's differences that truly lingered them. Elves where small, had no fur, tiny feet and hands, seldom travelled, and of course they always walked upright. Canius Lupus were tall and full-bodied creatures that could easily drop and run on all four limbs. Built to be able to survive harsh wilderness they had heavy fur coats to guard them from weather and powerful fangs and claws to fight with. Elves had lived in their cities for too long and had grown soft and languid in Lucas' opinion. He also knew they considered the Canius Lupus to be slobbering, wild beasts. Which was why he felt a measure of pity for the little elf beside him. How terrified she must be walking into a den of creatures her people viewed as savages. "Why is she here?" a voice called out and Lucus glanced up, many of the pack had gathered, peering at her. "The Leung alpha-king sent her along with us. He wishes for the alpha to make her his mate." he called out in the voice he normally used to tell stories. Knowing there was nothing he could do to help her out of her current situation; he resolved to at least do his best to get her a warm welcome. "If the alpha is pleased with her and takes her, then the elves will leave the RedEarth pack alone. The alpha-king promised so and wrote it on paper. The elves never go against a written agreement." he boomed out, holding the small scroll he had been charged with delivering up for his people to peer at. Voices murmured and many peered at the petite elf with a measure of interest. No one wanted to make war with the elves. While Canius Lupus were physically the better, they lived in small packs by nature. RedEarth was a well known and powerful grouping and had a large number of 65 members. The single elf city Lucas had visited held more the three thousand elves. No one wanted to make war when the outcome was clearly not in their favor. "Where is the alpha?" Lucas asked, and immediately many jumped to answer. The hunting males were not present, so Lucas had a good idea where his litter-brother was. He allowed the people to inform him however, and with a brief glance at the tiny elf, he walked off with some young males eager to help him locate the alpha. Although she had cursed her heavy robes during the long journey here, Mai was now thanking the great dragon gods for them, for they hid her shaking rather well. The only male who had spoken to her during the month-long journey was gone now and an endless sea of wolves stared at her. They were truly terrifying beasts and she was to live among them, be the wife of one even. Most of them had wandered off after the red-furred male, but some hung back and stared at her with clear judgment. Finally, when Mai was sure she could not handle the thick silence and unnerving eyes a second longer, a tall, black-furred male moved closer to her. "He will not like her." he grumbled. Mai could only guess he was frowning from the way his muzzle seemed to pull down a touch. "She's too small and weak to be the alphas mate." he added, with a clear disapproval in his rough tongue, making the words seem harsh in his deep throat. "He prefers white-furred females too, she doesn't even have fur." a white female agreed, moving closer to Mai as well. Both of the speakers circled her as if they wanted nothing more than to strike her down where she stood. "But he does like small, weak females. You're the one who dislikes them, Nicholas." a new female voice rang out and a few wolves moved aside to allow a tall, broad, brown female access to where Mai was standing. At least, she suspected it was female, for they all wore long, leather loin cloths around their hips and no tops. But she distinguished that they had full chests, even if they were covered in thick fur. Also, they were a head shorter than the males who remained behind. Sweeping her eyes about the group, she noticed the small ones wore a smidgen more beads and decoration than the taller ones did. "Off with you two. I have a new mate and a family on the way, war is the last thing I want." she snapped in a decidedly rude manner, but a chorus of agreement rose around her. "Come now, do you have a name, female? I've heard elves treat their females very poorly." Even as she spoke she leaned down a bit to peer at Mai over the tip of her muzzle. "Princess Mai, fifteenth daughter of King Xynas the fourth and lady Mia of the house of Jade Dragon." she recited automatically.The brown female blinked, frowned, and cocked her head to one side as she looked down at Mai. "What part of that was your name now?" "A-all of it." Mai replied feeling silly and foolish before so many eyes. "So when one speaks to you they call you by all that?" "No..informally I'm just called Mai." only her mother and aunt ever called her by her given name. No others where allowed or interested in doing so. "Ah. Well little one if your goin' to live here you'll have to learn to live without a long name or strange binding clothing." as she spoke the female frowned again at her, but her gaze was currently puzzling the elaborate dress Mai had been sent off in. "I would not mind that." Mai whispered and her head ducked, speaking so boldly was very rude. "That's good, there's hope yet then." the female announced and Mai noted the way her ears peeked and her shoulders lifted in a positive gesture. "Come then little Mai, I'm Lillian and we need to get you cleaned up if your gonna' be seducing Connor." she spoke in such a commanding, powerful way that the elf immediately admired her. "Seduce?!" Mai suddenly cried when she realized the word had been spoken and covered her face with her hands, which where hidden under elongated sleeves. "Of course! How else you suppose your gonna' make him yours?" Lillian laughed and the white female from before scoffed and followed. Lillian led Mai up the embankment toward a large cave with wooden doors thrown open in invitation. "Not all females are so wild like you Lillian. A female from the elves would not be the kind to know anything about seduction. They are completely submissive at all times." The white female grumbled out as she came to walk with them. "Where's the fun in that?" Lillian blinked and both females glanced down at Mai who felt trapped between the two tall female wolves. She did not even reach their shoulders. "I'm not sure...I've never been married." she stammered out and the two blinked and shared a long look. "Married means mated?" the white female asked with mild interest and Mai knew there was a difference to elves of lower status but she nodded her head anyway. "You're untouched by a male? Well now, that may be a problem." Lillian frowned, reaching out a paw to wrap around Mia's shoulders. "You hips are very small, Connor may not be able to take you without tearing you up." she stated in a matter of fact voice. "That's not something to be speakin' so openly about!" the white growled in a scandalized tone. "Ah hush up, Rose." Lillian snapped back and tugged Mai through the heavy doors into her new home. The little elf was pale and far too stunned to do anything but follow. Connor frowned with no small amount of annoyance as he pulled the heavy cloth of his door way and ducked into his private chamber. Pushed into the farthest part of the mountain, his chamber was one of the largest rooms carved out of the stone. Straightening himself he blinked then frowned at what greeted him. She was indeed tiny. Lucas had warned him the elf was petite but even for her own kind she was small. The pile of furs that served has his bed currently held her. A heavy fur was pulled up around her shoulders and she was sitting up. Her back to him as she peered at the back wall in what he guessed was thought, as there was nothing but stone to greet her eyes. By the mother what if she was slow of wit? Connor had no interest in mates during previous years and now he was answering for it. There was no way he could send her back and then watch war unfold. But nor did he want to be tied for life to this meek creature. Damn Lucas, that hair brained male was a complete fool for this nonsense. Connor knew that his younger litter mate was behind this. During previous visits Lucus had enjoyed the lusts of elf females and often encouraged Connor to do so also. They where attractive beings he supposed, some of his males had liked the smooth skin and long limbs they possessed. At some point he recalled admitting that a quantity of them where rather delectable looking. Now he was straddled with one for life because of a mere lustful glance. "Ah." the tiny sound caught his ear and he blinked his eyes onto the female, now turned and looking at him. Once he met her eyes she straight away dropped her gaze and did not look up again. The room was all that separated them and both wished it far longer. "You're the elf, Mai." He asked and nearly rolled his eyes at his own nervous stupidity. Of course she was, why else would a naked elf be in his bed? "I am." She answered, and tugged the fur closer to her bare skin. "Lady Lillian and Lady Rose took my clothing." She whispered, hoping he would have them return them or anything for her to wear. "Do not call them ladies, it is a term that means meek and feeble, an insult to the females here." He growled in a rougher voice then he had intended. The female ducked her head and seemed to want to slide completely under the fur to hide. "You may not like it but you must learn the ways of my people." He tried to explain, more to himself then her. "I never said I didn't like it." She spoke in a soft tone meant only for her own ears. "You should know I can hear you as if you where right beside me. We hear much better then your kind." He warned softly, slowly moving closer toward her while making a point to have no hurry to reach her. She offered no reply but he noticed her face flushing, a sign of embarrassment among elves. Her skin was a dark brown color that reminded him of fall leaves. With no fur she was endlessly smooth. Her facial features where in proportion to her kind so he guessed she was considered beautiful. Long black glossy head fur hung about her shoulders and pooled around her on the furs. It was well groomed and he found himself pleased with it. She also smelled very fine, he noted. Canuis Lupus females had a hard time scrubbing scents out of their fur, while skin was much easier to clean. It was her own scent too, not a mask of flower smells her kind often wore. Just her scent and he found himself fond of it. He focused on the positive things and tried to image her moving beneath him during mating. He needed to make this female his for his people, and having a physical want for her would help. "Did Lillian explain anything of this night to you?" He asked, knowing Rose would never have. Nicolas reported that those two had taken care of her. The little elf shook her head and he huffed a breath of annoyance. "I'm going to scent you and we shall see if physical want can exist between us." He had been moving closer to her and was now at the end of the bed, not a foot from her. "Y-you...what?" She still had not looked up at him and Connor placed a paw on the bed and ducked his body low to peer up into her startled eyes. "Look at me when we speak. I will scent you now." He told her and in a firm tug, yanked her fur blanket from her. Mai swallowed a cry as the fur she had covered herself was suddenly pulled away. He had distracted her with his eyes on purpose. Blinking tears she covered her nude body with her arms. Staring down at the furs she was laying on, she knew none where large enough to make proper covers. She could see his paws from the corner of her eye as well as the edges of knees has he leaned against the raised bed in a half kneeling position beside her. "Drop you arms." He ordered in a firm voice that made her wince. Trembling she obeyed and let her arms fall to her sides, her body exposed to his eyes. Still staring at the bedding rather then the male she could feel his gaze on her, examining her. "Look up at me." He rumbled again and his exasperation was in his voice. Peeking up at him she was thankful he was busy looking at her body and not her face. That was when she noticed his eyes. One was a bright almost white shade of blue while the other was a hot golden yellow. His fur was an off-white grey color, and he had small beads woven into his mane, which fell about his shoulders like hair. His ears sat half way up and his body held a little tension. Possibly a sign that he too was uneasy with the situation? She finished the thought just as his eyes travelled back up her body to meet her own. It took her conscious effort not to bow her head as she had been taught. Back stiff, she sat before him nude and did her best to ignore it. Carefully she folded her hands on her lap while making sure not to obscure his view. "What is scenting?" she asked softly, needing to speak and break the heavy silence. "This is scenting." The wolf replied and moved close, fully kneeling on the bed now. Placing a paw beside her ankle, he carefully put weight onto it has he moved his upper body closer to her. Like a curious but cautious animal, he slowly moved closer to her and craned his neck forward so his muzzle was inches from her naked shoulder. Mai congratulated herself when she managed to keep eye contact the entire time he moved toward her, but now she seemed unable to break it. He took sniffs of her skin and moved his body closer to her, shifting his weight and moving behind her. His breath felt painfully hot on her skin has he moved around her, sniffing and breathing her in. Mai was glad he was behind her and she could not see him while she tightened her trembling hands as he circled around. "How can our union be decided by you smelling me?" she managed to ask as he moved to sit in front of her, his long hind paws crossed over one another. "I can tell by your scent if you are enjoying my attentions." he stated easily and placed his paws on her hips. Mai sucked in her breath at the touch while he tugged her up. Fumbling and still very aware of her naked body she struggled to kneel in front of him. With his head bent low and her body forced to bend forward to sit up, she jumped when the moisture of his nose brushed the curve of her breast. "So your kind are sensitive on their chests?" the male asked slowly as she placed a tiny, delicate hand on his forearm to steady herself and settled into a kneeling positioning in front of him. On her knees and with him sitting while bending low, their faces where level. "Well?" he asked when she offered no answer and once again she was looking off to the side. "Yes, we are." she mumbled out and he felt a measure of hunger begin to stir. He liked soft mates, enjoyed timid attitudes within the mating process and found himself comfortable with the elf. Bowing his head, he scented her again, this time at her neck, then bending low to smell the curve of her breast, his eyes still staring into her face. "I'm not going to tell you again." Came the warning and ever so reluctantly her eyes slid to meet his again. Pulling his legs out from under him and placing them behind him, he moved lower on his knees and his nose paused at her hips. Her tiny hand that had held his arm had slid up when he moved and now rested against his shoulder. She held him there, refusing to allow him to go lower. Connor could easily break her light grip but rather, decided to coax her. "I'm scenting you. I'll know now if you enjoyed my attentions." He mock growled in a low voice and watched her face flush ever so slightly. Truth be told he was well aware that his near touches has excited her, he could smell her strong clear scent from across the room if he wanted. But he wished to dip his head between her thighs and be embraced by the delectable smell. Looking down at the wild animal in front of her, Mai shivered and looked away from his eyes but also dropped her hand. His breath washed her thighs and her small body tensed. Never before had anyone been between her legs, and she felt short of breath and very light-headed. Although she had done nothing physical, she could feel sweat gathering all over her body. "Your scent is very strong." The male rumbled, his muzzle ever so lightly brushing her thigh has he spoke. "It became very potent when I placed my paws on you." he added lowly, his voice tightly bound with an emotion Mai did not understand. How could an elf understand the power of its scent though? He knew she did not have any real knowledge of his people's, maybe even her own, sexual stimulants. Another thing that made female elves worth while was their scent. In mere seconds it could suddenly become as powerful as a Cainus Lupus female in full heat. And damn if it did not drive males into lustful need. Moving back suddenly he heard her expel a soft breath of relief and smirked. Without warning he gripped her behind her knees and yanked hard. Shocked, she fell onto her backside but the furs took the sting from it. "W-what are you doing!?!" she half cried, half whimpered and the raw fear gave him pause. "Hush your worries, I'm not going to hurt you, little one. I'm merely placing you into a position to scent better." The wolf explained for her as he tugged her legs apart and lifted her small feet to rest on either of his shoulders. "...You could have asked." she finally replied with a weak frown, her face turned to the side again as she spoke so boldly to the male. "I am an alpha, and I do not ask. Now we'll have to break this habit you have of not meeting my eyes." he told her as he pulled her feet up to slide past his shoulders and onto his back while he lowered himself to her thighs once more. "You should watch female, you'll want to know what I'm doing." he coaxed with a tease and her head snapped to look at him while he gave the inside of her thigh a long slow lick. Without warning she gave a startle whimper that held little fear and Connor decided then and there that they would manage this mating fine, for he adored vocal bed mates. Her breath was uneven and her body was shaking terribly. The back of her thighs and legs seemed to burn with the heat radiating off of his shoulders and back. Wide-eyed she watched him run his long tongue against the other thigh and she trembled harder. No one had ever touched, or even looked at her like this before. A princess did not take lovers, and anyone who courted her spoke to her politely from across a table with a chaperone present. Mai knew nothing of this male except that he was the leader of his people. They had been in each others presence no longer then a few moments and his head was between her thighs. "Pease stop. " the petite female whimpered as she struggled to slide her legs from him. "Stop squirming about." he replied evenly, his attention fully focused between her legs. "Please, I'm not ready for this." It felt far too good and unlike anything she experienced. All too fast her heart was pounding and her body sweating but she had done nothing to make them so. Everything was feeling out of place and this sudden pleasure his tongue caused was too much for her to handle. "I assure you, you are." he smirked, and his eyes glanced up to meet hers. Mai thanked the dragon gods he had done so for her tears seemed to make him pause. Releasing her thighs he crawled up her body, his own brushing hers while not putting any weight onto her. "What is wrong little Mai? Why do you cry so?" Connor's voice held genuine confusion as he rubbed the side of her face with his paw. The contact made her shake more but he persisted to try and sooth her with his touches. "I'm scared. I'm not used to this. Where I come from males seldom touch females, even those who are married give little contact." The tiny elf sniffed weakly and wiped her face. "How is that possible? A husband and wife who are married will join and there is much contact in sex." she felt a measure of comfort when he tried to use elf terms. Shifting he sat up and pulled her into his lap. "The husband just moves between her legs and places his seed with in her. Other then that they do not touch." Mai had expected a cold marriage her entire life. No one had ever shown her genuine interest and her title could help some noble man become more wealthy. So Mai had always assumed she would marry for no reason beyond politics. When Connor seemed to scoff at her explanation she told him her parents marriage had been so. The king visited her mother six times, four for sex, once on the day she announced her pregnancy and the sixth on her birth. After he discovered a daughter he turned and did not look back. "It bothers you he did this?" Connor asked abruptly and the female in his lap blinked up at him with mild surprise. She had calmed considerably and sat perched in his lap with some relaxation in her form. "He is the king. He wanted a son and when he did not get one he was disappointed. Many men in my land are so. With the wars we are fighting on the other boarders raging, sons mean more warriors and heirs in case of death." Mai explained in a factual voice, her mind disturbed that he had seen her hidden pain. "None the less, any child abandoned will have anger for its parent." The Canius Lupus replied and shifted her around again. Mai allowed him to do so and obeyed his tugs and pulls until she found herself on her back while he rested on his stomach beside her. "Our union will be a good one, little Mai. I cannot promise you love but I know it grows between two who are honest and willing to try." he rested his head on a paw and looked down at her with ease. His free arm reached out to rest upon her chest so his paw was gently rubbing the side of her face. "Why do you do that?" she asked when the tension in her body from the sudden touch eased. "My mother used to rub my face to calm me. It's common among my people. The same with rubbing ones neck and back. Or legs, thighs, paws, arms. Touching in general is common." he replied with a laugh before lifting his arm from her. Mai blushed when his eyes swept down her body and she was surprised she had forgotten her bare body. But the furs were warm and Connor's body gave off endless heat. The caves were not very cold to begin with either. "Roll over." The male told her and she blinked back in alarm at the strange male. "Why?" she asked and he merely looked back at her. So with a shiver of apprehension, Mai rolled slowly unto her stomach as he was and felt hesitation when he moved out of her sight. She felt his paws brush her neck when he gathered her long hair and pulled it to one side, exposing her back to his view. Thankfully she felt the heat of his paws just before he gently rested then on her upper back, for if not she might have jumped at the touch. He simply began to rub her shoulders back and forth. Raising her arms, she crossed them in front of her and rested her face in their shelter. There had been places in her home where other females would do this to help lessen stress. Mai understood this and relaxed as the wolf above her eased some of the past month's tension from her body. Connor shifted above her and swung his leg over her to have her legs between his spread knees. Resting on the tops of his hind paws he easily but carefully rubbed the small elf down. It surprised him how easily she had accepted the attention but he did not question it. The silence between them was much more tranquil then earlier. Connor intended to rub her down and hopefully have her drift off to sleep. If not he would eventually drag the cover over her and they could lay to rest. Either way he had no intention of trying to touch her sexually again. This was the night he was to scent her, not mate with her. If Mai told Lillian or Rose he had even licked her a couple of times he knew the wrath of the females would come looking for him. Scenting was a ritual of two who had never met before, not a prelude to sex. He had over stepped the boundary with the little elf and any female Cainus Lupus was going to be affronted that he had touched her and even made her cry. With a lofty sigh for the many angry female complaints he was going to have to hear tomorrow, Connor's mind was miles away. Therefore he felt badly startled when he caught a whiff of excitement from Mai. Glancing to her face he found it still hidden within her arms. The smell was wafting up from her between her sweet thighs. Looking down between the hidden area, he leaned back and peered to catch a tiny glisten of moisture. Blinking up at the female again he felt bewildered by her sudden change, bewildered and undeniably excited. Still massaging her lower back, he let his paws fall lower and cup her backside with strong rubbing motions. Mai had not meant for it to happen. When he had licked her thighs she was barraged with far too many emotions to deal with. Pleasure had been among them though and when he had begun massaging her back she had relaxed and allowed her mind to take some peace. When it was finally ready to examine what had happened, the fact that it felt good was at the top of the list. Trying to push away such thoughts had been hard and the memory of his smug eyes staring her down while he ran his tongue along her leg was not about to be forgotten. The wet feeling of it and the texture where something to be scrutinized, her mind decided. More so he had stopped when he saw he fear. Stopped to sooth her and make sure she was alright. A crying woman was a weak one, more so during her first night with her husband. Every story she had heard of first sexual encounters where the woman cried involved the men doing one of two things. Either ignoring the tears and thrusting on or pulling away and leaving in disgust. Connor had not even thrust into her yet and she had burst into tears. But he had been so kind to comfort her fears and even do something to help diminish her tension. Unbidden the sight and feel of his tongue returned. Above her, the wolf paused in his rhythmic motions and Mai felt her heart jump, did he know? He began again and she allowed the anxiety to lessen with in her. Sex was not something Mai knew. Husbands taught their wives all they wanted them to know and nothing more. All she had ever known about sex was that her husband would place himself in her and give his seed to create children with. Some unions where pleasurable, they could feel good while others where harder and felt painful. Mai knew something of her body's pleasures though. When she had summered in her mother's family house she had been allowed to wear pants to ride her horse. Somewhere in the years where her body had became a true female's she had discovered a secret pleasure. The material would rub against her thighs and when she pushed herself high on the leather of the horse saddle she felt a pressure against her body. She would roll her hips sometimes when the forbidden pleasure mounted. But never too long or too much for fear of being discovered. Mai was so far away in her mind recalling how good it had felt to push herself against something hard and ridged that she barely registered her present state. Connor's paws had travelled down at some point and she could feel him rubbing the inside of her leg while the other paw massaged the curve of her rump. Buried in her arms Mai struggled to keep herself in control of her body. She had always been able to pull herself from the pleasure when ridding. But then she had also been in control of the pleasure itself. His paw abandoned her rump and without warning cupped her most intimate part. Mai jerked her head up and gave a startled gasp at the contact. It was unlike anything she knew. No brushes or half touches but a full strong pleasure. His paw rubbed back and forth and one finger kept accidentally brushing the small bud above her opening. Mai moaned long and loud at the brazenly delightful gratification. Connor tried to keep a semblance of calm as he explored her flesh but she was defiantly enjoying it far more than earlier. He wanted to lick her like before and taste the mouthwatering scent she was giving off. But he did not want to frighten her again either. Well aware that she was heating up under him, he was conscious that once again he was going too far. Still rubbing her, he noted she liked his fingers to touch the small piece of flesh about her slit and he made effort to give it attention. Removing his other paw from her thigh, Connor quickly undid the lacing of his lion cloth and let it slide down. Grasping himself, he stroked his length with long, tight movements and gritted his teeth when his hips began to jerk. By the mother her scent was strong and her moisture was coating his paw as well. Shifting his weight he pulled his paw from her and replaced it with his other. Raising the paw, he dipped his head to lick the glistening moisture and felt his unattended cock jump at the taste of her. The small elf tasted delightful, looked enchanting, and felt pleasing. Everything was definitely satisfactory. The need was rising wildly and Connor felt common sense slip as he pushed his paw roughly against the female beneath him. Mai had begun to jerk her hips against his paw and he watched her rump's movements with no small amount of hunger. He again began to stroke his length in fast, hard jerks as he stared at her backside with lustful want. The beginnings of a small release were starting to course though him. Once he had a release control would return. He gave Mai's tight pussy a rough squeeze as he ground his palm against her opening and his fingers wildly danced over clit. The little elf threw her head back and moaned again, much louder this time. She could feel something mounting and beginning to break. Her hips jerked but it was not enough for her, so she lifted her hips high and pushed against Connor's paw, only to moan again and bury her face in the furs. Fumbling, she started to jerk herself to his movements and pushed herself to her knees to move better. Not fully understanding what she had just signalled to the male above her. Beneath him the small elf was moving oddly about. He moved back to give her room and lifted a leg for her to slide her own under it and then wider. Connor watched her lift her rump and felt his cock twitch at the offer she was giving. Still using a paw to play with her, he pushed her other leg out and she went up higher, unto her knees, giving her silent permission to him. Jerking himself still he pulled her hips back and she fell back against him. The momentary touch leaving long strands of her slick moisture between them. Her breath was coming in short hard gasps and he took a moment to rub her. One paw from behind while the other slid around her front to rub her flesh. He pressed a single digit against her opening and his elf screamed out as her scent peeked and her hips jerked wildly with abandon of a female in complete pleasure. Connor did not understand how she could climax without him in her but he did not intend to wait to ask. Pulling his paws from her he grasped her hips and pushed himself into the tight opening. Never in all his life had he felt any female so tight and hot before. His hips shoved forward and he grunted at the feeling of it. Mai's little pussy felt so good against him, he shoved against her without restraint, looking for release. As his thrusts grew less timed and more born of frantic need, he gripped her hips tighter and felt a good long release rising. The tiny elf was not ready for his knot so he did not bother, but it felt good to slide deep enough so her wet skin brushed it. He could almost feel it within her and he looked down at her smooth back and long black hair. One paw left her waist to grasp some strands loosely. She had her face buried in her arms again and Connor knew he would teach her to be more open during sex. Her arms where crossed tightly and her fingers were buried deeply in her upper arms. Blood was dripping from the gouges she was making and for the first time Connor felt a sense of wrong touch him. He stopped moving even though his body demanded carelessly to finish and the crest he was so close to fell back disappointedly. "Mai?" The wolf panted out, his chest heaving as he tried to catch his breath. Resting a paw above her arms to hold himself up he called her name again and then he smelled it. His body went very still and Connor suddenly felt very cold as the smell of warm fresh blood filled his nose. The small cuts on her arms were too little to make the strong scent and Connor's sensitive nose knew it was coming from a different place on her. "Mai." he hissed her name in a panicked voice and pulled free from her body. She fell onto the furs and her small body coiled tightly together. There was blood everywhere. It coated his cock and was smeared all over his thighs. Her own thighs where similarly smeared and her tiny opening was ripped. Her flesh was torn apart and the sight forced Connor to jump back and fall off the bed in panicked movements. "Lillian!" he roared for the female once and turned back to Mai. Fumbling, he crawled to where her head rested and gentle placed a paw on her hair. "Mai, please answer me." he whispered furiously and stroked her hair tenderly to try and sooth her. "Please little Mai, talk to me, say something." he begged and clutched the furs with his free paw in a painful grip. "Connor?" A soft voice beckoned to him and he looked toward the door, the cover still in place. "Mary said you called?" Lillian called again. "Come in here, call a healer immediately, a female one." Connor answered in a low voice that made the fur on her neck rise. Lillian's smile faded as she glanced at the young wolf who had summoned her. "Go, find Anna." she instructed and then ducked under the flap of the doorway to her alpha's room. "What happened?!" Lillian cried and rushed over to the female elf on the bed. She was bleeding from her slit and Lillian felt her heart rise to her throat. There was blood everywhere, smeared on her thighs and rump and all over Connor's front. "I don't know, she won't talk. We mated, I tore her badly Lillian, badly." Connor's voice held raw emotion and he was petting the female to calm himself more than her, Lillian realized. The alpha had never hurt a female before. In fights, genders tended to fight the same gender and even so a fight was very different situation. Nor had Connor ever done anything to receive a female's physical wrath before either, they were both in bad shape. "Mai?" she asked the female once before yanking the elf's arms from her face. "Don't hurt her." Connor snapped in a snarl and Lillian's ears went flat. "I'm not trying to." the female wolf hissed back and peered at the small female's face. The little elf was crying and her eyes where tightly shut. "Mai?" Lillian asked again, still holding her arms from her face but the female gritted her teeth and pushed her face into the furs. "Clearly you're hurt Mai. We need you to explain this, we don't know anything about your people." "Alpha?" a soft voice called out and Connor raised his head and called the healer in. The small brown female entered carrying a tray of assorted herbs and various powders that made both wolves noses twitch. She quickly moved to the bloody mess on the bed and crawled onto the furs to peered at Mai's back side. Taking a damp cloth from the tray, she pressed it against the torn flesh and Mai let out a low, weak whimper. "Mai?" Connor asked softly while he stroked her face with a warm paw. "My name is Anna, Mai and I need you to explain where it hurts for me." she calmly asked and was met with the same silence. "...Connor, Lillian could you please leave?" the experienced healer asked of them as she dipped a cloth into warm water to soak. "What? No!" Connor growled back but Anna looked up sharply toward the alpha male of her pack with a will that few showed their leader. "Please give me some time to talk to her and try to coax her." she request in a tone that clearly stated she was not asking. Lillian looked to the floor and reaching down, she yanked a fur from the ground and handed it over to Connor. "You need to bathe yourself. Anna can watch her while you do so." she said as she placed a paw on his shoulder. They had been childhood friends and she hoped he would heed her. "Out." Anna commanded, and uncharacteristically but thankfully Connor obeyed. The alpha sighed deeply but followed Lillian out, still glancing back at the elf.
