Fantasy RP The werewolf and the witch (FaeWhisperer)

[Mysti]

Clara laughed softly when he said that he was honored to know that he could dominate her, sighing softly when he pulled her into his embrace she let herself relax into his arms. The feeling of him burying his face into her neck made her smile as she closed her eyes letting herself relax with him, feeling him drifting off to sleep while holding her Clara smiled softly. Settling herself a little more comfortably in his arms Clara closed her eyes and let herself drift off to sleep with him.

Waking up after being a sleep for a few hours Clara opened her eyes and looked at Riyu with a gentle smile, she knew he would love to keep her in his arms as long as he wanted even while he was sleeping but Clara wanted to get up and get herself clean. Carefully managing to move out of his arms she didn't want to wake him as she got out of the bed, as she did Clara made sure to quickly conjure up some clean clothes for Riyu for when he wanted to put them on.

Walking into the bathroom Clara left the bathroom door open as she walked over to the shower to turn it on before stepping inside, looking down at her body Clara raised a brow slightly seeing all of the hickeys that he had left on her chest. She was sure Riyu would love to see his handiwork on her skin.

Shaking her head a little Clara sighed a little as she stood under the hot water letting herself enjoy it for a bit after she had cleaned herself up, turning off the water after a little while Clara stepped out of the shower. Drying off she walked out of the bathroom completely naked, grabbing her dressing gown from where she had tossed it Clara pulled it on and did up the sash loosely. Getting onto the bed she moved so she could place a gentle kiss on Riyu's cheek, "Are you hungry?" Clara asked him softly, she remembered how he used to get hungry in the past after sex and that she would normally make him some food.

"I can make you anything you want" she said with a gentle smile as she sat back on her knees on the bed watching him.

 

[FaeWhisperer]

Riyu didn’t stir until after she had moved back on the bed, his eyes fluttering awake after she kissed his cheek and asked him about food.

He rubbed his eyes tiredly and moved to sit himself up a bit, before he noticed she had a particular fresh scent about her. He understood that she had just came from washing herself up. “Mm-“ he murmured out next before he rubbed his head with his hand “Honestly, anything you cook will be fine for me,” he tells her as he dragged himself out of his sleep.

When he saw the fresh clothes he smiled slightly, and then glanced to the bathroom. “I guess I’ll go wash up then,” he spoke softly, getting up and heading there, leaving the clothes on the bed on purpose. He wanted to see what her reaction would be when he walked back out in only just a towel wrapped around his waist.

As he finally came out of the bathroom, the towel wrapped around his waist- Clara would be able to see how toned his physique really was. And would also notice that he had more scars than she previously had thought. Yet she could tell they had faded mostly over the years, and so of course they wouldn’t have been as noticeable. Thankfully his face always seemed to become unscathed after each fight Riyu had founded himself in.
-

Back at the abandoned camp, Brianna was counting through her supplies that she had remaining and she was thankful that Ryven was keeping watch at the den’s entrance.

Once she was done she gathered up everything that she could and put them in a satchel- turning around and facing Ryven. “Okay, I think I’m ready,” she mentioned to him next, shifting to her wolf form- which was considerably smaller against Ryven’s. The satchel was still around her neck, securely fastened.

Shaking her fur, she stretched out and waited for Ryven to lead them out of the camp, they would need to find other shelter soon for the night- knowing the sun setting wasn’t anything good for them to be out- especially with all of Luca’s stray wolves probably still lurking around the area.

 

[Mysti]

Nodding her head a little when he said that anything you cooked for him would be fine, watching as he got up and headed for the bathroom she raised a brow taking note that he had left his clothes behind. Shaking her head slightly she got off of the bed and moved into the kitchen, while he showered Clara set about cooking up some spaghetti for the both of them. Looking over her shoulder when she heard him come out of the bathroom, her eyes slowly ran down his body taking in the sight of him just wearing a towel with a small smirk. Turning away from the stove to face him Clara walked towards Riyu, "This" she started gesturing up and down his body with a finger "Is very distracting" Clara finished with a smirk.

Stopping in front of him she tilted her head to the side a little taking note of all of the faded scars that she could see, reaching out she gently brushed her finger tips over a couple of the scars before she leaned up and pressed her lips against Riyu's gently with a soft smile. She knew he was very strong and could easily fight anyone, but she was amazed that after all of this time he had managed to not get scars on his face. Most of the werewolves she helped out tended to have scars on their face as they weren't as careful as Riyu was.

"Do you plan to put clothes on?" Clara asked once she took her lips from his with a smirk, "Or, do you plan to just distract me by walking around in just a towel?" she teased.

-

Ryven shook his head a little when Brianna said that she was ready, standing to his feet he shook his pelt out and began to walk keeping his pace casual. Even though it seemed as if he wasn't paying attention to anything at all he was actually paying attention to everything going on around them, he knew there was no way they could safely stay in the abandoned camp.

Huffing a little he looked over at Brianna as he stayed close to her, "We'll stay close to Clara's tonight...not close enough to be a bother to her or to impose but just close enough that we're safe for the night while we figure out where we're going to go" he said softly.

He knew if they were going to rebuild the pack Ryven wanted to keep them close to Clara, or at least close enough that having a witch nearby was going to be a help. He also knew if Riyu was going to help them out with rebuilding the pack that they should be close so Riyu wouldn't get stressed about being so far away from Clara, even though Ryven acted as if he didn't notice much he noticed everything and he had noticed how Riyu acted with Clara.

"Tomorrow we'll find an area that will keep us somewhat close to Clara in Riyu, just to be on the safe side" Ryven said as he glanced at Brianna and gave a small grin.

 

[FaeWhisperer]

Riyu was reaching for the clothes as she mentioned that he was very distracting, and he couldn’t help but give a little laugh at her, before kissing her back and wrapping an arm around her to keep her close for a moment.

“Mm..if it means that I get to have food, I think I’ll put my clothes on,” he laughed slightly again in response of her asking if he was going to dress himself, shaking his head with a slight smile, and he looked to her. His gentle eyes landing on her face and then he took the towel off, tossing it on the bed briefly before he dressed himself.

He soon grabbed the towel and glanced to the kitchen. “That smells good..are you making some spaghetti?” He asked, knowing he definitely enjoyed her meals much more than the animals he had killed and eaten rawz
—
Brianna nodded her head briefly to Ryven as she padded along, her ears up and alert as she kept herself wary of the surrounding woods. She didn’t want to seem spooked, but she was.

She was no fighter like her brother or Ryven, and so she wouldn’t have been able to help even if she wanted to.

Once inside the outskirts of Clara’s wards, Brianna sniffed the air momentarily and then placed her nose to the ground. “There’s water nearby,” he mentioned to him next, finding the small stream in the seemingly dry riverbed.

She eagerly lapped up the water, keeping her ears pointed and alert as she drank, and then she stepped back so Ryven could drink too.

They eventually settled down by a large tree, and Brianna kept her head propped up on her paws, unable to sleep for the time being.

 

[Mysti]

Wrapping her arms around his neck when he kept her close to him for a moment she laughed softly when he said that he would put his clothes on if it meant he got food. Taking her arms from around his neck Clara couldn't help but give another laugh when he took the towel off and tossed it onto the bed.

He had always known how to make her laugh easily and she loved that about him, it seemed to come so natural to Riyu to make her laugh.

Moving back over to the stove to make sure that the sauce didn't burn and the pasta didn't stick Clara nodded her head a little when he asked if she was making spaghetti, "I am" she said casually as she glanced over her shoulder at Riyu "I have to make sure my man is well fed" Clara said with a smirk. Once everything was cooked properly she dished some up for the two of them, walking over to the dining table and placed both of the bowls down along with cutlery before she sat down.

-

Ryven glanced at Brianna seeing that she was still awake he sighed a little as he got to his paws and moved over to Brianna from where he had been laying a little further away from her, settling down beside her he gently nudged her.

"If you stop thinking so much doc, you might be able to sleep" he teased her lightly as he relaxed, he knew this was a stressful situation for her to be in but Ryven was used to going from pack to pack when he needed to so for him this was nothing new.

Setting his head down on his paws he watched her carefully as he relaxed, "I'll stay awake so you can sleep, nothings going to get you out here if that's what you're worried about" Ryven said gently to her.

 

[FaeWhisperer]

Riyu smiled from her laugh- he always enjoyed her laugh- it was so warm and lovely to hear and he knew he couldn’t and would never get enough of it. And once the dinner was done he moved over to the kitchen once she dished out everything and he gave a soft grin towards her now as she explained she had to keep her man fed.

“Ah..well I certainly appreciate that,” he admitted to her and sat down at the table, starting to eat his food once she began.
-

Brianna felt like she was on edge the entire time- and when Ryven got up and nudged her, she jumped ever so slightly.

“Sorry-“ she apologized softly, flicking an ear slightly as he mentioned she should relax. She sighed a little and looked to him. “I’m just not all that used to being out here..” she murmured out next, laying on her side and stretching out next to him.

At least she had him here with her. She was very thankful. But closing her eyes she still didn’t really relax all that well, and perhaps Ryven could figure out a way to get her to relax..

 

[Mysti]

"You better appreciate it" Clara joked with a cheeky grin, she knew Riyu did indeed appreciate her cooking for him. Out of him and Luca, he had always been the one who actually appreciated her cooking and she loved that because he didn't make her feel as if she was trying too hard to make him stick around like Luca did.

-

Ryven sighed softly as he watched her stretch out and lay on her side, he could tell that she was not relaxed at all.

Moving a little he shifted to his human form not caring at all that he was completely naked, "Shift and face me Brianna" he said gently. He was going to distract her from how stressed she was, Ryven was going to be Brianna do anything she wanted to him if it meant he could help her relax.

He knew most other men in this situation would have forced themselves onto her but he had been raised a gentleman, he had always been told that it was always a woman's choice and Ryven lived by that even when it was a full moon and he sought out a woman's company he never forced anything.

"Come on little one, you need to relax" Ryven murmured softly as he waited patiently to see if she would shift to her human form and look at him.

 

[FaeWhisperer]

Ryven would see her listen to him, and then she gave a soft sigh, moving to sit up and looking to him, not caring that he was naked.

“Ryven..I-I’m fine,” she murmured out softly and turned her head lightly, slowly shifting and sitting there in front of him. She too was almost naked, but in the pack, that was pretty normal for them.

She was wearing her traditional pack clothing- animal hide skirt and bandeau top, dyed a deep blue. Necklaces and feathers adorned her outfit, and in her white hair was braided a raven’s feather, one as black as Ryven’s fur..one that Ryven had given to her.

 

[Mysti]

Ryven raised a brow as he looked at Brianna when she said that she was fine, "You are not fine" he said with a shake of his head. "I know this is new to you Bri, but you need to relax...you're out here with an old pro at being in-between packs" Ryven laughed a little as he ran his eyes over her when she shifted, he knew he could easily shift back with clothes but Ryven didn't see the need to.

Reaching out he shifted some of her hair back over her shoulder away from her face as he smiled a little seeing the raven's feather he had given her braided into her hair.

"Tell me what is bothering you" he said gently as he moved a little to lay down on the ground on his back with his hands tucked under his head his head tilted to the side a little so he could easily look at her, raising a brow a little he smirked slightly at Brianna. "If you are scared that we might get attacked out here, don't be, I won't let anyone get close enough to hurt you" Ryven said casually, he knew if anyone did come near them and try to hurt Brianna he would rip them to shreds.

 

[FaeWhisperer]

Brianna gave a soft sigh as she heard him say there was nothing to be afraid of, and then she felt him brush some of her hair back, revealing that feather he had given her.

She looked to his face, and shook her head, “I’ll be okay,” she confirmed, trying to not reveal it to Ryven, not knowing what he would think of her. Hearing how he would protect her made her face blush ever so slightly and she turned her head from him, before she shifted to lay down next to him, her face turned towards the sky.

She gave a soft sigh and closed her eyes, trying to ignore the growing urge she felt. Sure, she had found Ryven attractive and she did have a crush on him..but the fact that her heat had started recently of all things was the last thing she needed to worry about. She also was worried about muddling her relationship with him just because of the lustful urge that was basic nature she was experiencing.

She knew there was no need to be concerned with raising pups anymore if she was a shaman- as those rules under Luca no longer applied to her. Which meant if she truly did want a family, she could have one- shaman or not.

But if Ryven wanted the same thing…She probably should wait till they did settled down in a new pack, it was only logical- but Brianna wouldn’t be able to help the so called ‘call of nature’.

 

[Mysti]

Watching as she laid down beside him Ryven rolled his eyes a little before he adjusted slightly so he could gently grab Brianna and pull her into him so she could use his chest as a pillow.

"You might say you will be okay, but, I can tell that something is bothering you" he murmured softly, Ryven was not a fool, he could smell that she was in heat. There was always a change in scent when female werewolves were in heat and any lesser wolf would have already pinned Brianna down and had their way with her but he had control of himself, his control was almost on par with Riyu's. Ryven knew how to keep himself contained and had taught himself over the years to ignore when a female was in heat.

"Anything you tell me will stay between us" Ryven said gently with a smile, he couldn't tell if Brianna was embarrassed about having gone into heat around him or if she was just stressed about their lack of pack to keep them safe for the night.

Keeping his arm wrapped around her to keep her close to him Ryven gently rubbed her back as he stared up at the sky his eyes wandering the heavens tracing the stars.

 

[FaeWhisperer]

(I saw you other post and replied to you on discord! Don’t worry about replies, just focus on healing <3 I myself have had wisdom teeth surgery today so I’m pretty sluggish rn as it is)

Brianna gave out a small gasp as he pulled her close, but she didn’t complain to him, and settled in quite easily against his frame. She had only done this a few times before, but even before she had realized her own feelings, she didn’t mind it at all, for pack life was supposed to be intimate and close with everyone…well..not too intimate, but at least comfortable with everyone that you wouldn’t have an issue with said gesture.

At the mention of his words and keeping things between them- she couldn’t help but blush lightly. And she buried her face against him, her ears twitching slightly as she spoke- laying back against her head a bit.

“You may think it’s horrible timing-“ she murmured out slowly-

“But I’ve gone into heat..” she breathed out and Ryven might remember how irregular her heat cycles had been- and coming into heat so close to the winter season— didn’t bode well.

But that just meant she would be likely to have pups- if she did get pregnant— early spring. And starting a pack…

But Ryven would hear her sigh. “It’s so stupid..honestly..that I have this urge and we’re trying to make a new pack by finding others,” she readjusted her body against Ryven’s and he would feel how warm she was- warmer than normal. And how..soft everything was about her.

She gave a small laugh and looked at his face as she mentioned next, “If it were up to Luca, he’d probably would have made sure I wouldn’t get pregnant in some way.” Because Luca always had seen pups as a weakness— other than his own, of course.

(I kinda want her memories to come back more and more to the point that she realized Luca did sabotage her chance of becoming a mother ((but! She will be able to become pregnant eventually - perhaps Clara can help ))

 

[Mysti]

Ryven chuckled softly when he felt Brianna bury her face against him, moving his head a little to look at her when she began to speak he frowned slightly listening to her.

When she said that she had gone into heat he couldn't help but give another chuckle, "I know you have little one" he said with a smirk. Letting her readjust herself Ryven wrapped his arm more comfortably around her keeping her close to him, "It may seem like I don't know when you do go into heat, but I do, all males do" Ryven said causally as he moved his head a little so his neck was comfortable. "I just have enough control over myself to not take advantage of the fact that you have urges for sex" he added with a small smirk.

"I would not be surprised if Luca did do something like that" Ryven agreed.

He had no doubt that the warlock that Luca had used had done anything he could to make sure that no one else in the pack could get pregnant besides his own mate.

Ryven gently rubbed his hand against Brianna's back as they laid together, he was going to let her do as she wished to start things off between the two of them as he knew he would feel horrible if he took the reigns as he knew how vulnerable females could be when they were in heat.

He had heard stories of females who had regretted the males they had ended up sleeping with and Ryven didn't want that to happen to Brianna if they did have sex, "How about we ask Clara tomorrow if she can take a look at you to see if Luca did have something done to you to stop you from getting pregnant huh?" he asked as he moved slightly and placed a kiss on the top of her head gently.

 

[FaeWhisperer]

Brianna listened to everything he said and slowly peeked up at him, her eyes seemingly glowing slightly in the light of the fire- and her gaze was searching his as he spoke.

When he moved himself closer to her and she was wrapped around his scent, she couldn’t help but blush a bit at the words he told her- that he had control and wasn’t going to act on any impulses. That alone made her wonder if he truly did have any feelings towards her beside platonic, and she gave her lip a soft bite.

Hearing that they could go to Clara tomorrow to see she suddenly shook her head, “N-No..it’s alright, I don’t want to bother her about it. I think I’ll be okay- getting pregnant anytime soon is a bad idea,” she lied, her heart being pulled a bit as she did.

She wanted nothing more than to start a family, and those wolves she had helped in the past to give birth, she had always felt jealous of them, jealous of their mates and jealous of the fact that they could have happy, normal lives. That’s what she had desired—and still did desire.

But the way Ryven was speaking..

She slowly drew herself away from him, and sat up, looking down at where he laid. He was right about females becoming overly emotional during this time, and she asked- “So you’re telling me-if you’ve been able to control yourself around me this long..you..don’t feel anything towards me romantically?” She tried to carefully choose her words.

Ryven could choose anyone he wanted, he didn’t have to choose her- hell, she wouldn’t be surprised if he had gone out during any full moon to find a pleasure partner for those nights- she had no idea that he had stayed in camp all those times to protect her from any other male that would have been interested.

Brianna looked a bit sad, and her ears were laid back slightly on her head. “It’s alright if you don’t,” she tried laughing it off and shaking her head. “Either way.. I do appreciate you being reserved around me,” she tells him and then turned to stretch and she shifted back into her wolf form, shaking her head and stretching more. Her white fur seemed soft to the touch, not like he would pet it or anything.

“I’m starved..do you want to come hunting with me?” She asked, changing the subject now.

 

[Mysti]

"No, we'll go talk to her" Ryven said casually when Brianna said that they didn't need to go and talk to Clara, turning his head to watch her when she moved away from him he raised a brow at her. "Bri, that is not what I mean" he said with a frown, his control over his urges and emotions had kept him alive this long. Ryven knew if he had been a lesser wolf he would have been killed years ago if he had accidentally slept with the wrong female, he had seen it happen before and he didn't want to get on someones bad side for sleeping with their mate while they were in heat.

Sitting up as he continued to frown Ryven watched as she shifted back into her wolf form, running a hand through his hair he sighed softly at Brianna's words.

Shifting into his own wolf form he shook out his pelt as he stood to his feet, "You silly woman, I can't believe you think I just have platonic feelings for you" he said roughly with a shake of his head. Yes, he knew that he hadn't been straight forward with his feelings towards her but Ryven would have thought that him looking after her the way he did would be enough to show her that she meant more to him than he said with words.

Moving over to her Ryven dipped his head down enough that he could look Brianna in the eyes when she said that she was starved and asked him to go hunting with her, "Tell me, little one, would I have spent every full moon guarding your den from other males if I had no romantic feelings for you?" he asked her softly. He didn't really expect an answer from her and so he fully stood back up and began to walk towards the tree line, if she wanted to hunt to get away from the conversation of if he liked her romantically or not, Ryven would indulge her.

"I am not going to act on my desires when you are in heat little one" he said softly, "I refuse to be one of those males who takes advantage of the fact the you would say yes to anything to quench that fire inside of you" Ryven added with a shake of his head.

There was no way in hell that Ryven would stoop to the levels he had seen some males go too because they could not control themselves around females in heat. "If you want me to help you with your heat, it will be your choice and at your pace" he said as he looked over his shoulder at Brianna with a firm look in his eyes showing her that he was very serious that he would not be the one making any first moves on her.

 

[FaeWhisperer]

Yet Ryven wouldn’t get that chance from her. She was a bit dumbfounded at his answer, and she felt a bit embarrassed she hadn’t noticed it before. Perhaps she was too wrapped up into her shamans duties that she hadn’t noticed how Ryven would deter any male from coming onto her, and Brianna knew that she hadn’t been allowed to mate anyways so it wasn’t something that often came to her mind.

Shaking her pelt she could feel eyes on her, but not Ryven’s and she wondered exactly where they were coming from. Immediately and instinctively she tucked her tail as she began to scent for prey, hoping the urge she was feeling would die down, as she especially wanted Ryven to take charge and tell her exactly how he wanted to mount her and such.. but damn it! Why did he have to be such a gentleman and considerate of all things..?!

But before she could get a whiff of prey, suddenly a stray from Luca’s pack jumped out from the shadows, and tackled Bri, making her yelp in pain from the sudden feeling of canines in her neck. “There you are..” he snarled and his ears perked up as he saw Ryven across from her and he gave a chuckle as he had pinned Brianna down. “I don’t scent a male on you..” he began, his urges overtaking him, “and all this time I thought this brute had claimed you,” and Brianna whined, struggling against him, and trying to keep her tail in between her legs.

Some males would deter from certain females, especially if they were in heat, if they had already had a particular scent about them.. meaning if a male had already claimed them and mated them, it meant they should move on to the next best thing and not risk a fight.

 

[Mysti]

Ryven had only taken a few steps when he heard Brianna yelp, whipping around to face her he saw the stray from Luca’s pack on top of his girl. Give a deep, dangerous growl as he quickly made the decision that he was going to have to hurt Bri to get this brute to let go of her neck. He hated the idea but he needed to make his point. Charging towards the other male Ryven slammed his body into the male, his actions would be enough to stagger the other male off of his girl.

Planting his body firmly over Brianna he lowered his head as he continued to growl lowly. Ryven was accustomed to fighting for what was his, he had done that for most of his life before he joined Luca’s pack. Sure he still had to fight for what was his but he found very little resistance from any member in that pack. “If you want her, you’ll have to go through me” he growled, showing the other male that he wasn’t about to let anyone else touch Brianna. Not without a fight.

Ryven knew how other males could be around females in heat, they let their animalistic instincts take over. Sure, some of them regretted what they did the night before but most didn’t. Most were proud of the things that they had done.

Lowering his body a little more on top of Brianna’s smaller frame Ryven kept his eyes locked on the other male, he knew she would be able to feel the vibrations of the constant growls that left him and he hoped that it would bring her a little comfort knowing he wouldn’t let anyone else touch her. Making a quick decision that he needed to get this other male to leave Ryven launched himself off of Brianna towards the male.

His body slammed again into the other males and quickly claws and teeth were meeting each other. Ryven knew how to fight dirty and he wasn’t going to hold back, he was determined to get his point across as he fought with the other male drawing blood. He ignored the pain of the other male making him bleed as well, after a bit he managed to pin the other male down on the ground and he growled down at him angrily. “Leave, before I rip your throat out” Ryven snarled.

He was going to let the brute live, for now, slowly moving from the male Ryven walked back over to Brianna and stood over her again protectively as if he was waiting for the other male to try his luck again. He knew if he did, he would kill him.

 

[FaeWhisperer]

As the male was pushed off of her, Brianna gave a yelp of pain as the fangs were ripped from her neck. She immediately cowered down and watched as Ryven moved to protect her. She immediately felt protected from feeling the vibrations of his growls, even though she was still frightened. Her ears were laid back upon hearing Ryven’s words and she watched in horror as he launched himself off of her to fight against the other wolf.

She kept herself low to the ground, her ears still pinned back on top of her head. But the moment she saw Ryven got hurt she was concerned and began to whine out for him, ignoring her own bleeding neck. She was trembling at this point but the moment Ryven came back she made sure to hide herself underneath him as much as she was able to. The male, crippled and limping decided to turn tail snarling out at the pair, “I’m surprised she’s even having a heat! Luca saw to it she never would..!” And with that he began to run off, leaving Brianna with Ryven.

Ryven would see Brianna move and lick at his open wound, feeling a bit lightheaded. “Ryven..I’m so sorry..” she began to whine, her tail was low. Her white fur was stained crimson, especially around her neck.

 

[Mysti]

Watching as the other male ran off Ryven stayed standing over Brianna, breathing hard. Feeling her lick his open wound he gave a soft growl of discomfort showing her that it had hurt, before he moved back slightly, not enough to move from above her but enough that he could look down at her comfortably. “Shift so I can get a good look at your neck” he said as he looked down at her, his voice a tone deeper than it normally was. Ryven didn’t care about his pain, he was much more concerned about the female under him.

He needed to see how how much damage him knocking the other male off of her had caused. Shifting back into his human form Ryven didn’t move an inch as he stayed on all fours above her, in any other situation Ryven would have enjoyed being above Bri completely naked, even if it was just to see her blush, but he needed to focus on her and her pain. As he continued to look down at her Ryven ignored the blood that was coming from the wound on his chest as it slowly dripped blood down into her white pelt.

“Come on little one, shift for me” Ryven murmured gently as he moved his left hand to touch her side keeping himself balanced with his right hand on the ground, “And roll over for me onto your stomach, I need to see how much damage there is” he continued keeping his voice low for her. He didn’t want to intimidate her into doing what he said but Ryven knew if he had too, he would.

Ryven normally didn’t go out of his way to tend to the wounds of others but Brianna, as far as he was concerned, was his and he was going to take care of her. As he stayed where he was above her he continued to breath hard, he knew if he ever saw that male again that he would kill him. “Let me take care of you” Ryven murmured as he waited patiently for her to do what he said, he had all of the patience when it came to her but he knew he needed to tend to her neck before she passed out from blood loss.

 

[FaeWhisperer]

(I’m rereading our vampire thread, btw)

Brianna winced as he growled at her, but when he told her to shift, she nodded slightly, before giving another wince, but this time it was out of pain. She didn’t care that he had shifted on top of her all naked, any other circumstance she would have loved it. But now was not the time. His wound concerned her and the sooner he saw her neck, the sooner she could treat him.

So complying with what he commanded her to do, she shifted and as she did, she too was naked, but she didn’t care. She turned on her belly, her white hair was stained with red, sticking to the nasty bite marks on her neck, ones that were shown that the male’s fangs had been ripped away from her flesh. It had been deeper than Ryven would have previously thought. She kept panting, her head laid down in the dirt, she obviously didn’t have any strength to stand on her own.

It was then noticed that her heat had needed to be satisfied, that her scent was a danger to her, and if it was not masked by a male, others would still come for her. That much Ryven would know. She had tried to ignore her heat, and he had said to go when she was ready, but perhaps he should have taken some initiative at first and made the first move.

But he didn’t.

And now look where that landed them.

“Ryven.. I’m..I’m sorry,” she kept whining out to him, her breathing shallow. She needed the bleeding to be stopped, and fast.

 

[Mysti]

Ryven waited patiently for Brianna to roll over, when she did he smiled softly. "Good girl" he murmured to her before he gently moved her hair away from her neck so he could see the damage better, a small growl rumbled at the back of his throat. He wasn't angry at her, no, he was angry at the idiot male and himself. "You have nothing to be sorry for" he said as he shook his head slightly as he adjusted himself carefully lowering himself some more so that his chest pressed lightly against Brianna's back; he ignored the pain that shot through his chest when his skin touched hers but he didn't care about his pain, only hers. "This is going to hurt little one" Ryven said gently before he dipped his head down and began to slowly and gently pass his tongue over the mess of her neck.

It was one of the good things about being a werewolf, the healing qualities in his venom would help stop the bleeding for her and encourage her body to heal the rest. Moving his left hand that was still on her side to her hip Ryven squeezed gently anytime she moved from the pain silently telling her it was going to be okay. After a few passes of his tongue over her neck Ryven started to place very gentle kisses against her skin, he didn't care about the taste of her blood in his mouth. It would pass.

He knew he was playing a dangerous game with Brianna when it came to her heat, Ryven had no doubt that any other male who might be around and smell her would cause problems for them. He wanted nothing more than to protect her and he knew to do that he would need to put his scent on her, to quench her heat so that no other male would be tempted to touch her.

Slowly he moved his kisses from her neck down to her shoulder where he smiled against her skin softly, "Good girl" Ryven said again against her as he stroked the fingers of his left hand gently against her hip. He loved how she felt under him and he couldn't help his bodies reaction to her as he started to get hard as he kept his body on top of hers, but of course being the gentleman he was Ryven made sure not to press down on her so that if she wanted to move under him she could. He didn't want her to think he was going to try and mate her right then and there, not in the state she was currently in.

"You did so well little one" he added gently as his kisses slowly made their way back up from her shoulder to the side of her neck, he couldn't stop himself, he wanted her but Ryven didn't want to push her body too quickly because of how much blood she had already lost.

 

[FaeWhisperer]

Brianna cowered ever so slightly the moment she heard Ryven growl, but soon relaxed the moment he told her she had nothing to be sorry for. It was only when he lowered himself closer to her and she could feel his wound touch her back, making her wince for him. She knew that had to hurt. Yet her ears flicked at the sound of his words. What was he going to do?

It was only when she felt his tongue against her neck, her lips parted in a soft gasp and then a soft whine escaped as the pain started to jolt through her, before becoming a dull ache. She closed her eyes tight and didn’t reopen them until he was finished, telling her that she had been a good girl, and with that her ears perked up ever so slightly at the praise. And the moment he added that she did well, she couldn’t help but blush, especially from the kisses he was giving her. She felt so shy, she didn’t know what to do. Her head felt all abuzz from the sudden loss of blood, and she allowed him to continue to kiss her neck.

She then moved and crawled back from under him, slowly shifting back into her wolf form. She gave a pointed look to Ryven. “Now I get to attend to you,” she said, and if he noticed it would be that her first few steps were a bit unsteady, but before he would be able to focus on that, she carefully nudged him backwards so his chest was facing upwards towards her.

“Stay still,” she commanded softly as she dipped her head, her own tongue running across his open wound. With her ears pinned back on her head and her tail low, she was concentrating on helping him heal faster. Once she was done she settled back and licked at her maw before shaking her head. “We need shelter,” she tells him now, a soft whine in the back of her throat, her heat still incredibly obvious, but he would be able to tell that this was urgent, finding shelter would be safer than having her out in the open for now.

Thankfully an unattended stray’s den would be just around the corner. A bit roomier than one would expect, and thankfully it would serve as shelter for the next few nights as Brianna either let her heat run its course, or…she had Ryven satisfy her.

But first, she needed rest and to heal from what happened earlier. They both did.

 

[Mysti]

Ryven groaned softly when Brianna nudged him to show her his chest, sighing softly he looked at her and shook his head a little before he growled lightly in pain at the feeling of her tongue touching the wound on his chest. "You know, I would have healed perfectly fine without you doing that" he chuckled, once she was done healing him he shook his head slightly before he shifted back into his wolf form and shook out his pelt. Even though Ryven knew he would have been alright with his chest wound not being tended too right away he wasn't going to lecture Brianna about taking care of herself when he knew that she took care of people, "Alright, lets get you somewhere safe" he said gently, staying close to her Ryven lead Brianna to a nearby strays den. He kept his body close so that she could lean against him as they walked, he didn't want her to stumble and fall.

Gently nudging her towards the den he huffed softly, "Go rest in there, I'll stay out here right in the entrance so you can still see me" he said lightly as he waited for her to head inside before he laid down in the entrance of the den getting comfortable.

He knew if any other male came across them right now Ryven would rip them apart without a second thought, he needed to protect Brianna while she rested and recovered from her blood loss. Resting his head on his paws he kept himself alert as he looked around, every movement of the trees and any slight rustle made his ears twitch and occasionally raise his head to look around.

"Let me know if you want me to come in there with you to make you more comfortable" Ryven called out to her lightly as he sighed softly. Ryven could only hope that Brianna would allow herself to get rest, he hoped that she would be able to rest. He knew he would not let her come out of the den, not with her being in heat, so he was planning on going out and hunting for the two of them but would make sure not to go too far away as he needed to take care of her and keep her safe from other males.

Glancing over his shoulder back into the den at Brianna he watched her closely, intently listening to her breathing in case anything changed in the slightest. Ryven was used to protecting her den so it felt right laying in the entrance protecting her once again.

 

[FaeWhisperer]

At his words about healing fine she gave a soft huff, shaking her head. “I know but you took care of me now it’s my turn to take care of you,” she tells him, before he told her he would get her somewhere safe. And while searching, Brianna didn’t say much in response to him when they found the den— but she went into the den without a second thought down to where the nest was, curling up and tucking her nose underneath her tail for the time being.

Hearing his words she felt a bit warm underneath her pelt from the thought of him being so close, yet she chose to ignore it, and closed her eyes, she was starting to fall asleep, slowly drifting into a light slumber. Ryven would be able to hear her breathing steadying out and it wouldn’t be for a few more hours before she woke up. She felt rejuvenated, more so than she anticipated, but now it was nighttime, and her ears perked up for any sound, other than Ryven close by.

She gave a silent sigh of relief and she shifted in her position, giving a soft whine when she did. She didn’t realize how bad her urge had became, and she maneuvered her position once more, hoping to calm her urge down just a bit. But that didn’t help. She shut her eyes and tried to ignore it. She needed to ignore it..it wasn’t.. right of her to want it. Right? It would be shameful of her if she had pups at all, especially right now as they were trying to rebuild their pack.

 

[Mysti]

Hearing Brianna move in the den and whine Ryven got his feet, turned to face the entrance of the den and sat back on his hunches as he looked into the den, "Are you okay little one?" he asked her gently; concern for her lacing his words as he looked at her. He could tell that her whine wasn't one of pain but just of pure discomfort at being in heat.

Ryven had seen females during his time throw themselves at any male with a heartbeat as soon as they were even close to them, so it amazed him seeing the amount of control that Brianna did have over herself even though he was sure she was in a lot of discomfort.

The original pack that Ryven had been apart of had been known to keep females that were in heat shut away in their dens if they didn't have a mate, he had been one of the trusted males to protect some of those dens before he left the pack. He had better control over himself then other males tended to do, the only one he had met who seemed to rival his control was Riyu. That man could had taken a beating and still not swung back at anyone and he never seemed to be affected by females when they went into heat either.

"If you need me too, I can run and get Clara if you are in far too much discomfort" Ryven said lightly, he didn't know what the witch would be able to do for Brianna to make her heat easier on her. But he was willing to try anything to make her comfortable no matter what it would take, "Or if you need me to come in there with you, I will" he added softly. He knew very well if he did go into the den with Brianna he would struggle to keep himself in check with her, it was one thing to be around a female in heat out in the open but a completely different beast when it came to being in the enclosed space of a den with one.

Sure he had been around plenty of women before, slept with plenty of women, but Ryven had never slept with a female in heat before so he knew he was going to be in for a long night if Brianna did want him to join her in the den.

 

[FaeWhisperer]

Brianna moved her head and looked over at Ryven when he sat on his haunches and looked to her. When he asked her if she was alright she gave out another whine, this one a little bit more urgent than before. It wasn’t that her heat was bothering her that much—well, it was..yeah. Okay yeah, Brianna would admit it was driving her crazy, keeping herself controlled around Ryven, wanting to present to him, to have him dominate her was making her all but foam at the mouth from wanting it so badly. Especially with him. She had found him incredibly attractive and him being protective of her made everything about him that much hotter.

Listening to him further she moved around in the nest, and rose up a little. “Can..you join me in the den please?” She asked him softly, her voice barely above a whisper. Her tail was held low still. Of course she wanted him to be the one to mate with her but how he had reacted earlier for her to make that choice had deterred her just a bit. She..was thankful he would let her make her own choice but she was still wanting him to make the first move.

Back in Luca’s pack she didn’t distinctly remember if she had a heat, all she knew it had been forbidden to have pups. But with her memories slowly coming back, things would make more sense. Especially when the stray male from earlier had said Luca had made it incredibly hard for her to even come into a heat. Did..he ruin her chances of being a mother? That would absolutely destroy her.

Ryven would be able to sense this in her, this uncertainty. But she didn’t verbally tell him nor would she. It would be crazy that he would even want a family with her, especially right now. It shouldn’t even be a priority to her at this moment. Or to him.

 

[Mysti]

Ryven sighed softly to himself when Brianna asked him to join her in the den, getting up he walked into the den to join her. Once inside he walked over to her and laid down beside her, he let his body lean against hers lightly so that she would be able to feel the warmth of him at her back. "Want to tell me what is bothering you little one?" He started gently as he watched her, "I know your heat will be annoying you, but what else is on that mind of yours?" Ryven finished.

He knew that Luca had been so desperate to not have another other female in the pack be able to get pregnant that he was sure that he had done something to Brianna to make sure that she would never be a mother at all. "Are you worried about what Luca did to you?" he asked lightly, he had no doubt that that would be weighing heavily on her mind. Knowing that it might not be possible for her to start a family. But Ryven didn't care, he was going to look after and protect Brianna no matter what, even if they couldn't have their own children he was sure they would be able to care for little ones at some point.

"We're going to get through all of this Brianna, together" Ryven said to her softly as he gently nudged her trying to give her what little comfort he could. He didn't want her to worry about the future at all, and he wanted to give her everything he possibly could; he just hoped that Clara would know what to do to fix whatever Luca had done.

 

[FaeWhisperer]

Brianna simply flicked her ears as she listened to Ryven, her mind drifting somewhere else for the time being. Her thoughts were filled with Ryven and how he was so close to her. She couldn’t think straight. Hells, she wondered how he was able to control himself around her too at this point. She shifted her head slightly and laid it on her paws, knowing that he was trying to reassure her, and she appreciated that.

When he gently nudged her she gave a soft ‘Mm,’ in reply, her tail was still firmly placed down towards her legs, almost in between it as well. But not fully. Which meant her heat scent would be slowly permeating the small area they were in, moving up towards Ryven’s nose. Brianna moved and shifted into her human form next, curled up with her hands on her stomach. Her pelvic region was aching and was just waiting for relief.

As she had transformed, she was still naked, her tail on her body had remained and she had curled up with it, the ears on top of her head flicking gently and she settled into the nest. She just figured she would ride this out, and hopefully her heat would be gone in the morning.

“I’m sorry,” she muttered softly out to Ryven, but knew he wouldn’t even dare to touch her, so of course she wouldn’t make a move. All she did try to do was attempt to sleep, but even that proved futile.

 

[Mysti]

Ryven sighed softly as he watched her closely, he knew he was in for a long night. "Don't be sorry" he said gently as he shifted back to his human form, he moved a little to get more comfortable as he used one of his arms as a pillow as Brianna curled up. "Just try to get some sleep little one" Ryven murmured as he closed his eyes, slowly he drifted off to sleep but he didn't fully fall asleep as he still stayed alert enough to keep an ear out for anything that might approach the den they were staying in. As Ryven slept he reached out to Brianna and wrapped his free arm around her firmly pulling her more tightly against himself, even in his sleep he was going to protect her.

Sighing softly Ryven nuzzled his face into the nape of her neck while he was half asleep, "Mine" Ryven growled sleepily as he kept his firm grip on Brianna. Slowly he began to trace his fingers against the small amount of her stomach he could touch without making her move her hands before he trailed his fingers slowly upwards towards her breasts but stopped just short of touching before he trailed his fingers back down to her stomach, "God, you smell so good" he murmured to her.

Breathing in her scent deeply Ryven groaned softly, he didn't care that being so close to her while she was in heat made him grow hard, he wanted to keep her close to him. The only thing he cared about as he began to wake up more was that his resolve when it came to letting Brianna make the choice of when they had sex was starting to crumble, "You make it very hard to keep being a gentleman, little one" he grumbled before he placed a kiss on the nape of her neck.

"I genuinely don't know how much longer I can hold myself back when it comes to you" Ryven groaned before he placed a very gentle bite on her shoulder, he made sure his bite was gentle as he didn't want to hurt her in anyway.

 

[FaeWhisperer]

Sure…getting some sleep wouldn’t be that easy, but she definitely would try. Upon closing her eyes she gave a small sigh as she finally began to drift off to sleep, even if it was light and she kept alert for any potential dangers. It wasn’t until when Ryven pulled her close did she start to relax more and slowly move into a deeper slumber.

She didn’t quite catch what he sleepily growled to her as he nuzzled the nape of her neck, yet when his hands touched her stomach and began to drift places she hadn’t expected them to go, she started to wake up more. The ears on her head twitched as she started to take in her surroundings.

She felt herself pressed into his chest, and in a matter of mere moments she could feel something pressed up against the base of her tail, but wasn’t sure what it was at first. Upon hearing his words and first feeling his kiss, and then feeling his gentle bite- she let out a soft moan of pleasure, not fully understanding the new sensation she was experiencing.

“Ryven..” he would hear her whine out his name softly, but it wasn’t a ‘stop’ kind of whine, but more so of a ‘please continue..’ kind of whine. The intensity of how her heat had made her feel has cooled down a bit, since she was still half asleep— yet it was growing with every passing moment he stayed close to her, and she couldn’t deny it, or him anymore.

“I know..you.. want me to ask.. but,” her ears flattened just a bit on top of her head as she explained herself. “I just..want you to…make the first..move..” gods above, she felt so embarrassed telling him this. She was glad it was dark in the cave, her cheeks felt warm from embarrassment and she wondered what he would do from this moment on.
