Curse of the Gemini Wolves

Eirian 

She stunk of fear. It was even stronger now than it had been those moments before I had burst into that pathetic meeting house and saved her from the clutches of the small man.

The very idea of him touching her almost made me want to turn around , go back and rip his sniveling head from his shoulders. But that would only cause more problems. 

Gethin was already going to be furious with me. Not that it was unusual. He was always furious these days and when I explained what had happened he would understand.

I hoped.

"Stop kicking me little rabbit." I growled as one of her small feet made contact with my lower back. Her thread bare boots gave no Protection to her delicate toes and she howled in pain.

"I am not a little rabbit. I am a person and you can't just have me."

There was bravery in her voice that I respected. She would need to be brave when she met Gethin. If he didn't like her then he would kill her. I knew my brother well enough to know that much.

Only I knew he liked her. He was the one that first found her. Or saw her in any case. Before we had become alpha. Before- 

I shook the thought away and slapped her ass again harder then ever before when she used her sharp even teeth to try and take a chunk out of my chest. 

"And no biting." I let her slip from my shoulder to her feet but kept a tight grip on her arms. Not because she would get far if she bolted , we were too far into the wild wood for that to happen and even if she did escape then she wouldn't get far. I was faster in my animal form but I was still much faster than she was even in my human one.

"No biting little rabbit." I forced her to stare into my face. And her eyes shiny with tears darted away and refused to meet my gaze. 

"I am not a little rabbit. I am a person." 

"You're a skittish little thing with sharp little teeth. And a vicious little kick." I chuckled. Hooking my thumb under her chin I tilted her head up and gave her no choice but to meet my gaze. "And you wiggle so deliciously when caught. But if you keep biting me then I am going to have to bite back." The tip of my tongue came out to wet my bottom lip. Her eyes followed the moment and the redness in her cheeks turned grey.

"What do you want with me?" She whispered and all the fight had gone from her voice. She sounded scared. 

My frightened little rabbit.

"Are you going to eat me?" Her bottom lip trembled and I ran my thumb over it before I could help myself. 

"Would you like me to eat you little rabbit?"

Instantly she went still. She didn't even breathe. "No please. I don't want to die, I have a family."

A growl rumbled through my chest. "You have no family now apart from us little rabbit. You are ours."

"Ours?" She went back to trembling. "Are you taking me home to eat me with the rest of your pack?"

Confusion pinched my eyebrows together, what was she on about? Why would she ever think I would share her with my pack when sharing her with my brother was going to be hard enough. Especially when his temper could break at any moment and I risked him snapping her neck or worse.

"Why would I share you little rabbit? When you are such a tiny thing? Barely a mouthful." I couldn't help the way my eyes drifted to the swell of her breast under the shapeless mid blue dress she was wearing. Small breast, barely a handful but perfect for nibbling on.

"And I bet you taste so sweet." My mouth watered at the thought of tasting her , right here on the forest floor, but I knew I couldn't. No matter how much it tempted me.

"Please don't."

"Don't? It would give you unimaginable pleasure."

In the darkness her eyes widened, "pleasure?"

"Yes little rabbit pleasure. You would enjoy my mouth on you. I guarantee it."

"I would not enjoy being eaten alive by a beast."

Throwing back my head I boomed out a laugh. "You really think we eat humans for dinner don't you?" I said with a shake of my head. "Just what kind of messed up stories have the humans filled your heads with?" 

"You mean you don't hunt and kill humans for sport?" She countered. 

"Only those that deserve it." I said simply. I refused to lie to her about this. Even if it frightened her more. "But we don't kidnap girls to eat," I stepped closer to her, keeping her face craned upwards to mine and my other arm around her back. "And I don't feast on unwilling girls either." I let my eyes fall into hers and I didn't look away. I wanted her to understand what I was saying. 

A line appeared between her eyebrows. "Are you talking about sex?"

"Yes." I said simply. At least she wasn't as sheltered as I had originally thought. "Tell me what you know."

"I know that's what Gentry wanted when he tried to lift my skirt."

My growl shook the branches above me. I knew I should have killed him when I had the chance. And it wasn't too late to go back and finish the job.

"And did you?" 

"No, of course not." She sounded offended. "He is not my husband. I would never have the sex with anyone who wasn't-"

Pulling her into my chest hard, I felt her breast flatten against the hardness of my chest and it felt amazing to be this close to her after all the years of watching her from the shadows.

She felt like she fit.

"You will have sex with me. With us."

Her eyes flashed. "I would never. Not ever."

"Yes you will. When you feel how well I eat your pussy you will beg me to fill you." 

She swallowed hard but it wasn't the sound of that nervous sound that caught my attention. It was her scent. Heady, thick and delicious.

She was turned on again. I could smell it. My words excited her.

Smiling knowingly , I stepped away from her before I did something we would both live to regret. Well I would live to regret, she would just die.

"Come now little rabbit. We have many miles to cross before we get to the wall. If you promise me you will stop biting, I might think about carrying you properly. The weather is turning and you are going to need my body heat. I wouldn't want anything to happen to you."

Biting at her lip she glanced behind her. "You could always let me go. I have a baby brother and without me he will starve."

"You have a father."

She shook her head. "He's not - well he is in a deep depression since my mother died. He can't look after Dillon. My brother needs me. Please just let me go."

"I can't do that. And even if I could I wouldn't. You were banished by your own people, little Rabbit. I am all you have now." 

She sobbed and it was a heartbreaking sound. It was almost like she had just realised the truth. There was no going back now. Not for either of us.

"But I will do something for you. On one condition?" 

"Please-"

"If you promise to stop fighting, and to behave then I will send help to your brother. Is there someone in the village that you trust to care for him as your father is incapable of looking after his own family."

"My next door neighbour. She's with him now but she's poor and old and-"

"I will send them whatever they need but you have to behave." I caught her eyes and held them. "You have to do what you are told. Do we have a deal?"

"You would do that for me?" She whispered.

"Yes." I said simply. "But remember your promise to me little rabbit because the life of your brother depends on it. Now walk." I pointed between two gnarly trunks. "That way. And don't look back to your village. You don't belong there anymore."
