hopeful days
#5 of An Honored Promise
Janet finished getting ready and came back out to the bedroom and saw Draken asleep on the bed curled up and she smiled. Walking over to the large wolf she leaned in and nuzzled his neck causing him to roll onto his side and she smiled looking at the tip of his cock peaking from his sheath. She blushed as she couldn't help herself and moved her head closer taking a quick suckle on the tip causing a whine before she stood back up straight. She rubbed his side before she walked out the door with a smile and to her truck.
It was a quiet and simple ride to the Rugas clans camp and as the trees passed by and the forest grew more thick her mind wandered into the realm of her future. What was she going to do, getting married and having children with a stranger. That was the part that consumed her thoughts, she was to marry someone who she was going to meet in the next few weeks and was expected to bare children just so they could repeat this cruel act upon her offspring.
The most annoying thing about all of it was she was a believer of tradition and had respect for thoughs who followed them. Was it hypocritical for her to hate what they wanted knowing her family had followed it for so long? by the same token she also knew as everyone did that progress meant change no ritual or tradition served any group forever did she have a justified reason to protest it. Perhaps it only overwhelmed her because she hadn't had enough time to come to terms with it.
She arrived at the parking area, where the clan left there cars, the camp was several miles into the forest after all you didn't need some random hiker wandering into a camp full of werewolves. She smiled as she saw a man at the parking station dressed as a guard. She knew instinctively he was a werewolf and he eagerly came out to great her. She had to admit he was rather handsome.
He bowed his head, "welcome elder it is a great honor to have you in our camp and helping us."
She chuckled, "ok that's enough that elder stuff is really starting to throw me off I am like twenty-seven, call me Janet."
He smiled as he raised his head, "as you wish elder Janet."
She smirked as she walked past him, "smart ass."
It was a brisk walk, she enjoyed travel through the forest and she could tell she was being watched occasionally. The Rugas clan were the scouts of the five clans and although they had many capable warriors were most known for their scouting and tracking abilities. As she reached the camp she smiled, it was much larger than she had expected, lean-too's and tents mostly with a couple of teepee style areas. She knew it was as much for show as actual living area the real living area was the caves in the cliff side a little ways further in. It was nice looking though and it gave off a very native American feel to it. It only took a minute for her to be noticed and she saw Elder Field who walked up to her and smiled,
"welcome to my home Elder Cag I would like to express my appreciation for your help. In the absence of your mother we have had to dig on our own in order to expand but with tough bedrock it has been extremely difficult, if there is anything I can do for you in return please just ask. Would you like some food or drink, please your comfort is of great priority to us."
"all I wish is that you all stop calling me elder I appreciate the respectful and honored title but I don't wish to feel any older than I am," she chuckled as another male large and dressed in jeans with no shirt on walked over, "and who may I ask is this hunky guy?"
Elder Field smiled broadly and he turned to see his son coming over, "I am happy to hear you approve this is my son Leum he is the one chosen from my clan to court you, I hope you and him will get along well."
Leum came over and smiled as he went to a knee and bowed his head, "Greetings Elder it is with heavy heart I extend my sorrow at the passing of your father he was a wise man I talked to him often the last few months," he looked up and with an honest look smiled softly to her, "I have to admit to a small amount anger towards him however."
Janet looked at him oddly, "you come forward to tell me you had issue with my beloved father, not a way to win my affection sir," Janet said with a bit of annoyance while Elder Field looked at his son in shock.
Leum smiled softly, "your father lied to me about you or at least did not tell me all about you, he had said you were young and strong and smart, but never told me of the radiance of your beauty."
Janet blushed and smirked as she turned to Elder Field, "you know I am starting to think your clan should be better known for its smart asses than its scouting abilities," she chuckled as Leum stood.
Elder Field sighed and smacked Leum, "my deepest apologies Janet, my son has a very bad sense of humor."
Leum smiled and looked down, "sorry I was a bit lost for words, I am not used to being attracted to woman of such honorable title, humility is not one of my more astute traits."
Janet smiled and kissed him on the cheek before she walked past him, "no but it is a bit cute to a degree, now Fields please show me to where you are having problems, as much as I am enjoying your village I have someone I wish to spend time with later this evening and I want to make sure I get everything done and taken care of before then."
Fields smiled seeing her take a shine to his son, "of course Janet follow me please I don't want to take up more of your time than we have to."
It only took a few hours to meld the bedrock into new shapes allowing Janet to make new tunnels and while she was at it reinforce the others. She was thanked by the many families that were moving into their new homes and as she walked back she saw something really odd. It appeared to be a bear walking through the camp but it was odd, shimmering and she had to stop and watch. It walked past and sometimes through things like fires and people but then stopped and looked at her.
"He is beautiful isn't he Elder?" Janet turned to look at the source of the question.
Janet surveyed the woman before turning towards her, she was beautiful in her own right, six feet tall with long black hair looking like Pocahontas from a Disney film, "umm yes what is it?"
She chuckled, "that is moco he is my spirit familiar, I am Mocomoro I am a spirit tamer of our clan, I am guessing you haven't seen spirits before, I am aware that your powers have only begun to awaken Elder but it is still amusing to see you so shocked."
Janet smiled, "well I am happy to amuse you, please call me Janet I don't like the formal titles, so umm does this mean I will start seeing lots of spirits?"
She smiled, "call me Moro Janet, and no the reason you are seeing Moco is because of his close ties to me but to see most spirits it must be the right time of year or you must be in a very powerful place. Then again you being the great Magi can also see them using magic. If you would like I would be happy to show you more about them and the many things spirit magic can help with from healing to harming."
Janet looked back over to where the bear had been only to see him now in front of her with a roar and on two legs he startled her and she fell back on the ground with a gasp and hit her head falling unconscious.
Janet awoke some time later slowly opening her eyes, she felt like she was laying on something furry and soft and soon realized she was laying on furs and as she awoke she could smell an odd scent in the air and a fire nearby. As her vision cleared she saw the inside of a teepee and some smoke which she soon saw came from a small fire in the middle. Next to her with a smile was Moro and another person a male werewolf, she sat up and looked at him studying him, she had no fear of him but realized she had yet to get a close up view of one of his kind, she reached out and ran her hand on his back and he yelped and turned before changing before her eyes and returning to human form and Moro turned to her and she slowly helped Janet up.
"I am happy to see you awake, are you feeling okay?"
Janet stretched and smiled yawning, "yeah I am okay what happened?"
Moro sighed, "my deepest apologies Janet Moco saw your energy and before I realized he was sneaking up on you he roared a challenge to you and spooked you, you tripped and fell hitting your head. Please do not be angry with him he is a warrior beast and its his instinct to do so, I have confined him to my talisman till he learns to behave but I promise you he meant no harm."
Janet smiled and reached out touching Moro's arm and she gasped shuttering for several moments and panting out of breath, Janet quickly pulled her hand back fearing she had done something wrong but the male next to her started to chuckle and confused her, "oh god sorry what happened."
The male spoke, "I am Rud, mate of Mocomoro and I am happy to see you are okay Janet. I apologize for not being in my human form in front of you when you awoke but I was umm, in the mood to mate with my female and it is my preferred form. Moro will be okay, she used her spirit magic to heal you and to settle your own spirit from the challenge made by her familiar, in doing so she awakened a good amount of your aura and in her open state your aura's touch gave her a large boost of life energy, your spirit is exceptionally strong, I dare say stronger than your mothers was."
Janet blushed, "umm my apologies for interrupting your private time, thank you for caring for me."
Rud chuckled, "please it is our honor to have you in our home, and well I was going to mate to sate my mate."
Moro growled and put her hand over his mouth silencing him, "shut up Rud you are embarrassing me."
Janet giggled, "please don't be I find it cute that he wanted to pleasure you and finds you attractive, I can only hope my mate ship will be as charming., are you okay though I am sorry if I hurt you."
Moro took a deep breath and blushed, "what my mate was trying to say is you didn't hurt me, the use of spirit magic can be highly arousing and your energy umm might have made me a bit more than flush."
Janet blushed and smirked, "are you ummm implying what I think you are?"
Moro nodded, "yes Janet you gave me an orgasm."
Rud chuckled as he grabbed Moro's hand and pulled her into his lap kissing her softly before pulling back, "I feel we owe you heavily my mate and I Janet, you were harmed because of her power and startled by my form but are not only not angry but seem rather okay and happy with things as they are."
Janet smiled, "its all fine its a learning experience, I believe your mate may have things to teach me but umm I do have a bit of a favor if your okay with it."
Moro smiled to Rud and then to Janet, "please anything we can do to help you would be our honor both because of what happened and because you are so kind to our clan and our needs."
Janet smiled, "well to be honest I wasn't startled by Ruds form I was intrigued you see its only the second time I have seen a werewolf in full form, the council was in form for our first meeting but I would like to study your forms up close. She blushed, I mean if it doesn't make you uncomfortable that is."
Moro giggled, "well to be honest we love to show off its umm a fetish of ours in fact if you'd be entertained I am sure my mate would be happy to let you explore him as I would to if you wish."
Janet blushed hard and looked away, "that is a bit much to start I think."
When Janet turned back towards them they were already in their werewolf forms and she looked them over in awe. She moved o her knees and moved in a bit closer first looking at Rud. She could tell it was him his chest was chiseled and his arms bulged a bit the fur thick and course over his body. She could see his arousal pushing against his loin cloth but still covered signaling how much he enjoyed her inspection.
She then turned her attention to Moro and was surprised by the differences. While Rud had brown and black fur deep and course colors she was nearly stark white. her fur looked softer and fuller and her breasts still very prominent in this form were larger and barely held back by her lose top. She went to reach out to touch her muzzle but pulled her hand back shaking her head and clearing her thoughts.
"Sorry I got caught up...," she stopped speaking as the large paw of Moro softly brought her hand back to her muzzle.
A murr softly broke from Moro's muzzle, the voice soft but a bit gruff, "no please explore to your liking we really don't mind in fact I am rather flattered that you find us appealing."
Janet smiled and moved a bit closer with a nod, the pads on Moro's paw were soft and warm and when she reached her other hand over to Rud's muzzle who closed his eyes, she compared the two. Moro's fur was softer but thicker and his pads were a bit rougher but she enjoyed both. She pulled her hands back after a few minutes and smiled.
"Thank you both it is wonderful to see your kind up close in this form, my guardian Draken is bound to his wolf form I find him rather handsome and wonderful but he is unfortunately not able to show me this form so I could learn it first hand with him."
Moro nodded and looked down before shifting back to her human form, Rud choosing to stay as he was, "Draken is a very good wolf, he has a very kind and strong spirit. I wish he could change forms like most of us can, he doesn't deserve the treatment he receives for such a trivial reason."
Janet nodded, "I have seen how others of his clan regard him it hurts me to see it happen I wish there was more I could do."
Rud growled, "but there is your magic has the power of transformation I have heard the stories of your mothers power granting herself, and others the ability to transform although I know not how she did it."
Janet turned to Moro, "is this true?"
Moro sighed, "it is, but the secret of that magic died with your mother, it is a combination of spirit alteration and life magic, I am sure your mother wrote it within her tomes but I know not where they are. I believed they would be waiting for you when you arrived but I guess your magic hasn't reached that level."
Janet stood up followed by them, "umm Rud would you mind if I did one more thing?"
Rud nodded and before he could say anything Janet walked forward and hugged him wrapping her arms around him and closing her eyes as she rested her head on his chest and Rud slowly and gently put his arms around her with a murr.
Janet smiled letting out a sigh, "so this is what it feels like to be in the arms of a werewolf, warm safe and relaxed."
She pulled back and smiled as he slid his arm around Moro and pulled her in nuzzling her neck and licking gently, "I do believe you aroused my male Janet, it was adorable to see you in his arms."
Janet smiled and moved to the exit, "you enjoy yourselves and thank you very much." she exited the tent and ran into Leum almost falling over before he caught her and pulled her in closer.
Leum smiled, "oh sorry Janet I was just coming to check on you, I take it your doing better?"
Janet blushed and righted herself smiling, "thank you Leum and yes I am fine," she was about to walk past him and get ready to leave when she had a question occur to her and she turned back to him, "Leum I have a question for you."
Leum smiled, "yes Janet?"
"Leum is there a reason you all seem to be worried I will be offended if your in werewolf form in front of me?"
He smiled transforming before her, his height was impressive at nearly eight feet and his body was covered in dense reddish black fur a true sight to behold as he kneeled down lowering his head in bow which put his muzzle only a few inches below her chin and he spoke softly, "we are not trying to hide what we are or who we are, certainly a Magi seeing us in various forms is never something we normally worry about but we were asked by the council to treat you as much like an outsider as we can. Please do not take that as an insult normal humans scream in fear and disgust from our forms, seeing us as monsters, you having lived your life far away from us has left the council worried it would take time and be best to have a slow transition into seeing us this way. I hope my form is not to disturbing to you."
Janet smiled happily at the explanation, for all the anger she had at the council over her mate ship and some of the things they wanted they really did respect and want her friendship and they really had tried harder than she realized to make her comfortable, she lifted Leum's muzzle and rubbed her cheek to his affectionately making him let out a playful whine, "thank you Leum for your honesty and you are an extremely handsome sight for me and one I would not mind seeing often, have a good evening."
Janet walked back to the truck and drove back to the cabin a smile on her face. After all her worrying she knew that she was going to be happy with her new life. Happy among such majestic mystical creatures and with a life of magic to learn and explore. She now even had hope, a way to give Draken a gift that was fitting to the love and respect she had for him and that he deserved so fully. All she needed to do was find her mothers things, find where she had hid her tomes and magic knowledge.
