Light of the Red Moon

Chapter Two

The next day, long after Toboe had been kicked out of Tsume's den, Saya opened the heavy wooden door to a thick atmosphere inside her home. Pausing, her nose twitched when she smelt Toboes scent leaving away from the den. Closing the door behind her with one hand, she gently leaned the water jar she had been carrying against the wall. Tsume didn't look up as Saya hesitantly made her way to her dominate mate's side, her anxiety perfuming the air. "Tsume?", she paused, noting how stiff he was sitting there on the windowsill. Not looking away from the plaza their home overlooked, Saya winced slightly at his gruff voice "what is it, Saya?"

Saya played nervously with her dark purple tunic that was peeking out of the bottom of her jacket over her tight black pants "where's Toboe?". Tsume seemed to stiffen even more so before he answered "he left".

"But why? It's so dangerous out there to survive on our own for our kind, and he's only a cub…" Saya whimpered submissively when Tsume suddenly appeared before her, one hand tight on her hip and the other jerking her face towards his with his thumb and forefinger "he left on his own. And we care nothing about him, got it Saya? He may be one of our kind, but he isn't one of us".

Saya couldn't help her eyes miserably fluttering closed, but she willed her voice strong "he's only a cub, Tsume! A child. How long has it been since we've seen one of our own kind? The luna flower is gone, and soon we'll have to leave this rotten place. Let us take the cub with us," Saya gripped the wrist of the hand that was holding her chin tightly "how long has it been since we've seen a live cub?". Tsume growled loudly, and pushing her backwards he roughly caught her before she could hit the dust covered stone floor, then lowered her onto the ground not paying any heed to her deep throat whines and struggling limbs "he isn't our cub! Why should we care what happens to a stray runt?!". He growled loudly into her shoulder, and kneeling between her legs pressed his hips into her's, holding her wrists to the ground when she would have pushed him off. "Tsume! No!" Saya struggled as he opened her legs with his, his erection a hot brand against her. Saya's eyes squeezed shut when he trapped her thighs by pinning her knee's with his, and Saya spoke softly as Tsume placed sucking, possessive kisses against the junction between her neck and shoulder, his teeth about to place another mark of ownership and dominance into the skin there "maybe that's the reason our race and the humans are dying, because we're not willing to help other's when we have the ability to".

Tsume paused, a roar trapped in his chest making it rumble inside the den he was suddenly on his feet and walking out the door, leaving his mate shivering and terrified on the floor.


Tsume growled softly to himself, his eyes narrowed dangerously at his feet as he wandered the city. When the police suddenly ambushed him he glared furiously, making them pause before rushing at him with batons. Using his wolf speed he bypassed them, jumping higher then was humanly possible until he was face-to-face with Sedo, quickly disabling the police officer besides him and knocking him away. Trapping Sedo before he could run he stared down at him in enraged silence before knocking him furiously to the ground and holding a knife to his throat "you sold me out?" Tsume asked in a cold voice. Sedo started nervously rambling "they caught us, when we tried to sneak on-board the train. We couldn't let you get away scott-free!". Tsume snarled down at him, his teeth flashing "and Saya? Did you tell them about Saya?!".
