Fateful Night

Chapter 1

The full moon shone brightly illuminating her bedroom with a softer light as if she were in a dream. Her skin was itching again as it did on every full moon as if she wanted to break free of her body. Ryonen shifted in her bed uncomfortably as sweat dripped from her forehead to her collarbone. She couldn’t stand it anymore, this tension within her, so she stripped off her thin nightgown and laid there naked hoping her body would cool down. In the distance she heard the deep guttural sounds of howling nearby. She listened intently as the sounds seemed to be moving towards her.

Her eyes darted to a movement outside of her window. There was a flash of something that looked like an animal, but she couldn’t bring herself to look more closely. Her heart began to beat faster as sounds of something scratching at her window became louder. Suddenly the beast crashed through her bedroom window looking at her with a wild feral look. The wolf began to growl deeply but not threateningly – as though it was trying to communicate a command to her that she couldn’t interpret.

For a long moment, they stared intently into each other’s eyes. There was something familiar about this beautiful black wolf that looked like it wanted to devour her. It stood over six feet high with massive paws and long talons that frightened her. In a shaky voice she asked, “What…are you doing here?” She quickly grabbed her nightgown and put it back on.

The wolf continued to just stare at her with an intensity that made her squirm. It emanated authority but something else…there was an intelligence she felt that was more than just animalistic.

The sounds of cracking and popping permeated the room – before her eyes the wolf began to transform into a man as if by magic. First the paws morphed into strong, muscular arms and legs and then the body emerged as if being cracked open. Ryonen was transfixed by this spectacular site that she witnessed in disbelief. She pulled her sheet over her body as if this would somehow protect her. Slowly the transformation completed until a man about 6’6” stood in front of her with an unyielding presence. Her eyes scanned his God-like form in awe. His broad muscular chest and massive arms looked like they could strangle a bear with ease. His square jaw and full lips looked like a sculpture. He smirked at her noticing her appraisal of him.

“Do you like what you see?” he asked staring boldly back at her.

She noticed that he was completely naked. His cock hanging down was huge and thick with a vein running down the center. Her eyes widened as she had never seen someone so massive before.

“I…uh…” Ryonen stuttered.

“I asked if you like what you see?” he asked still smirking as he followed her line of vision down to his cock. “Would you like a taste?” He asked unapologetically smirking. He was enjoying how flustered she was. He saw her drinking in every inch of him, her hot gaze slowly scanning over his body. He couldn’t help admiring her as well. Her beautiful green eyes and plump lips were tantalizing. He loved the way her auburn shoulder length hair was slightly disheveled with strands hanging over her face. He noticed how her beautiful full breasts were slightly heaving up and down, as she was obviously shaken up by his presence. He imagined himself devouring her, taking her nipple into his mouth and swirling his tongue around before he slowly nibbled on her. He could feel himself getting harder as he continued his fantasy. His hands all over her body and his lips tasting every inch of her. His eyes glazed over for a moment in his revelry as his lids dropped closed for just a moment. He opened his eyes suddenly realizing that he’d gotten a little carried away, and saw that she was staring at his impossibly huge hard on. He cleared his throat making her eyes jump back up to his.

“Oh my God! Please don’t…hurt me!” Ryonen exclaimed, shocked by his obvious desire for her.

He was a little surprised by her reaction. “Don’t worry angel, I’m not interested in taking you by force. I’ll wait until you beg for me,” he said arrogantly knowing the power he had over women.

She scrunched her brow looking at him with annoyance. “Oh, so you think I would beg for you?” Ryonen laughed. “I guess that’s what you’re used to? I will never beg for you!” She looked at him defiantly. “What the fuck are you doing in my bedroom anyway?”

He laughed. “Oh, you will definitely be begging for me before the week is over. I would wager on it. What do you say?” He asked smirking with a mischievous gleam in his eyes.

“You haven’t answered my question. Why are you here? Who are you?” Her jaw was twitching, barely able to contain her rage.

He stretched out his arms in front of him interlacing his fingers and cracking his knuckles and then smirked at her again. “Why am I here? Well…you should be asking your parents that question.”

“What do my parents have to do with this … with you being here?” She looked at him in confusion feeling a vulnerability now that he mentioned her parents. What could they have possibly done that would cause this beast to invade her life like this?

“What do your parents have to do with this?” He repeated her question in a soft hiss as his eyes darkened.He paused for a moment. “They promised you to me when you turned 21 years old.” He looked up at the clock hanging on the wall which read 12:01am. “And that’s in about 4 more minutes,” he said with a devious smile.

“Are you kidding me? What kind of a sick joke is this? My parents wouldn’t ever promise me to a werewolf or whatever you are?!” She was fuming now. She wanted to jump up and push him out the window that he just broke through. Without a second thought, she jumped out of her bed and raced towards him with a fury. Her body crashed into his chest, but he didn’t even budge an inch. He was like a wall of solid stone, immovable. She beat her fists against him as tears streamed down her face. “Why would they do this?! I don’t understand?” She screamed still punching his chest. He was unphased and with a surprising gentleness, wrapped his solid arms around her and held her until she stilled as he whispered softly, “Shhh…shhh…it’s going to be okay. I promise I won’t hurt you.” He ran his large hand soothingly down her back. She felt an electricity pass between them that made her suddenly look up into his eyes.

“What was that?” Ryonen asked him tentatively.

“Mmmm…yes that was our bond. You’re my mate and I have come to claim you.”

Ryonen’s eyes widened at his words and then quickly narrowed in anger. “Your mate?! I don’t belong to you or anyone! Let go of me!” Her nightgown tore in her struggle to get free of him revealing her luscious breasts with rosy nipples hardened from the excitement.

His eyes darkened with desire and a low, guttural growl from deep within rose to the surface as he reached over and took one breast into his huge hand running his thumb over her hardened nipple. “I won’t be able to control myself much longer. God you’re beautiful.”

She stared at him incredulously, frozen in the moment. A part of her wanted to scratch his eyes out, but another part of her felt a heat rising in her core. His touch felt so good. She fought off her desires as she shakily asked, “What are you going to do with me?”

He paused for a moment still gently holding her breast in his hand. “I have a lot of ideas of what I want to do with you, but they will have to wait for now.” He leaned over and took her breast into his mouth, swirling his tongue around and sucking hard until an involuntary moan escaped her. His hands moved down her body until he found her panties and felt her wetness. The smell was so intoxicating that he growled again wanting to rip off her panties and plunge his tongue into her beautiful pussy, but he knew that now wasn’t the time. He growled again barely able to contain his desire. “You need to get dressed and come with me now Angel,” he said letting her go reluctantly. His cock was throbbing with an intensity; he knew he couldn’t take much more before he lost control and took her willingly or not.

It was like she suddenly came out of the daze she was in; her body was still vibrating from his touch but she shook her head to clear her mind. “I’m not going anywhere with you! You’re a fucking monster!”

Anger flashed in his eyes for just a moment as he said in a deep, authoritative voice, “You can come willingly, or I’ll have to carry you out of here. It’s your choice. What will it be?” He asked smirking.

Ryonen knew he would follow through on his promise. She whirled around with her back towards him as she reached for a pair of jeans and a T-shirt. “Can you please turn around while I’m dressing?” He obliged with a soft chuckle. “I’ve already seen your beautiful breasts so what’s the point of hiding from me now?”

’That’s not the point!” She said as she hurriedly put on her clothing and looked around the room wondering what else she should bring. “How long will I be away? I need to know what to pack.”

He pondered her question for a moment as he carefully chose his words knowing she wouldn’t be happy to hear the whole truth. In time he would explain everything, but for now he felt that the less she knew the better it would be. “You’ll be at my camp for quite a while.”

“What do you mean by quite a while? I can’t just run away from my life here! I’m studying at university to be a veterinarian. This is insane!” Ryonen said with clenched fists at her sides.

He took a step closer wanting to comfort her, but then stopped when he saw the fury in her eyes. “I told you before that you belong to me now. Your parents made a deal and I have come to claim you as mine. From this day onward, your life is with me.” His gaze was steady and hard as he stared into her eyes silencing her. “I suggest you pack a suitcase with anything you want to take with you so that you’re comfortable. The camp can get cold, so you’ll need some warm clothes. We have plenty of blankets there so it’s not so bad,” he said as his eyes hungrily roved up and down her body.

Two weeks earlier

Ryonen had been dating Jared for two years and while things were basically good, she had never felt a deeper connection with him. He’d been pressuring her lately to become more intimate and give him her virginity. She knew that it made sense for them to take the next step towards commitment, but something inside her felt uncertain … as though she were waiting for someone else? She didn’t know why she felt like this, but the feeling had been getting stronger and stronger in these past few weeks. She would be twenty-one soon which felt like a rite of passage into womanhood.

“What are you thinking about?” Jared asked smiling softly. “You seem so far away.”

“I was just thinking about my birthday in two weeks,” Ryonen said smiling shyly.

“And…what about your birthday. Will that be the day you finally give yourself to me?” Jared asked staring with an intensity that made Ryonen turn away.

“I…I don’t know.” She stuttered feeling her heart race. “I know you’ve waited a long time and I’m truly grateful for your patience, Jared.” She paused before continuing. “I just want to be sure that I’m ready.” She looked into his eyes and saw a flash of disappointment and anger before he sweetly smiled at her again.

“It’s okay, Ryonen. I love you and I can wait a little longer, but not too long. I have needs that I can’t deny. I’ve been faithful to you for the past two years, but … I’m not sure if I can stay faithful much longer?” His voice was soft but she could hear the threat underneath.

Her face flushed with anger. “Are you serious? Are you threatening me right now? You’re unbelievable!” She hissed through clenched teeth.

“I’m not threatening you – I’m just being honest. Two years is a long time to wait for someone. I’ve been patient and understanding, but I’m a man with needs too. Don’t you love me? What are you afraid of?”

Ryonen responded with control. “Jared…you know I love you but that doesn’t mean I’m ready to have sex with you. I can’t believe you’re trying to manipulate me with threats of unfaithfulness if I don’t sleep with you. If you think that’s how you will get me to submit, then you are sorely mistaken. Maybe we should end things now?” Ryonen spat at him. Her face was flushed with fury.

Jared’s eyes widened. “What are you saying? You don’t mean that, Ryonen. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to push you. It’s just that I want you so much. I love you, Ryonen.” His face dropped with regret.

“No! That’s not love. You’ve showed me a side of you that I never thought I’d see. I can’t be with you anymore!” Ryonen turned her back on him and began walking away. He grabbed her arm.

“Don’t do this, Ryonen. Please.” His eyes were rimmed with tears. “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. I don’t know why I said those things!”

She shook his hand from her arm and continued walking away. For her it was over.
