A/N: Welp, this is the finish for what I had originally planned. Whether or not there will be a 'Revelations' route is up in the air.
And as for this chapter? Well… be prepared for some rather sudden twists. There might have been a bit too much real plot going on with character flaws…
Canon name = Nickname: Corrin = Lupus. Selkie = Silky. Velouria = Vella. Kaden = Ka-da. Keaton = Keaty. And only Selkie/Silky refers to Corrin/Lupus as Lu-pu.
Lupus forms a smile as she takes yet another rabbit. "Ready and waiting for them to tire out."
"And my sister's choice is…?" Vella almost glares at her, to which she receives something that Vella usually does to Lupus… wagging her eyebrows. "See? Sister knows what's better for her… Keaty's gonna claim her."
"Aw… Luuu-puuu!" Silky pouts, "You sure?"
"You're only complaining because my brother won't be pinning you down." Vella laughs.
"...Hmph. I was going to share one of my peaches if you chose Ka-da, but that's not happening now." Silky smiles, waving a peach about.
...What a low blow.
"Maybe I don't want a peach, anyway?" Lupus crosses her arms.
"I'll give you two peaches if you change your mind."
"I didn't know you'd stoop down to bribery, Silky." Vella scoffs.
"...Whatever it takes to win. You should know that." Silky shrugs, before biting into the previously offered peach. "More for me, then."
"Pfft. Don't listen to her." Vella scoots over. "If you want, I'll let you know how Ka-da is later, okay? That way you don't gotta even bother thinking about it."
"Sister?" Lupus starts, "How long have you wanted Keaty to mate with me?"
"..." She tilts her head as her ears twitch, "Around the time you would have first gone into heat if you were a Wolfskin."
"That's a… long time." Vella nods in agreement, "But… I wasn't strong then. Why'd you want someone that isn't so great for him?"
She smiles, then giggles, "I guess your human habits affected all of us alot, even back then. You were always really happy whenever Keaty was around. As much as he would deny it, he enjoyed his time around you, I think his reason to protect you so viciously was because he wanted you more than a 'sister'."
"...huh." Lupus simply replies. Now that the topic has been brought up, Keaty typically was the first one to her aid… followed shortly by Vella… usually, that is. She always thought it was because he accepted the 'protective big brother' role, but she also knows that he never really took onto her human habits as much. So, it'd make more sense if he protected her like if he wanted to mate with her. "Then why'd he never say anything about it?"
"It wouldn't have been best for the pack."
"And now that we aren't in the pack…" Lupus trails off, nodding. "Wait, speaking of packs… if Keaty starts one with me…?"
"I'll try to be there." The air turns somber, "It'd be chaotic if there are two males always wanting to be alpha… and don't even suggest that just because Ka-da is Kitsune would mean that he and Keaty could both be alphas. That's not how it works and you know it."
"Then don't let Ka-da claim you."
She sniffs, "Sister. You also know that I was near the top of the pack in terms of strength. I have to mate, I have to be claimed. I'm going to bear strong offspring."
"Doesn't mean I have to like it." She pouts.
"Hey, Lu-pu… Vella." Silky calls out from her peach-juice covered face, "This wouldn't be a problem if Lu-pu just mated with Ka-da…"
"Oh, shush you." Vella snaps back.
"Sister?" Lupus gently asks, touching her furry arm… Tensed, muscles tightened, her ears are lowered and her tail still. Something's wrong. "Vella?"
"Hmph." Silky huffs, grabbing her plate of peaches and walking a rather lengthy distance away.
Yet, before Lupus was about to call her out again, Vella turned back to face her again, "Okay, yes… I kinda lied. I don't always like be around her."
"That's normal, you don't gotta like everything about someone." Lupus shrugs it off. "But, there's something else, right?"
"...Perhaps my disdain towards Kitsunes is still rather high." She closes her eyes and sighs. "I'd actually like it if she didn't have kits or pups or whatever."
"But, you're willing to mate with Ka-da?"
"Don't have much else in terms of a good mate. I want to be near you, but if I want a Wolfskin, then I'd gotta go all the way back to Nohr. I'm going to mate with Ka-da so I can be closer to you." She scoots ever closer, before doing something she hasn't actually done in a while…
Takes a deep sniff of her scent.
"...I'm scared to lose you." Vella adds in a much smaller voice.
"Sister…" Lupus frowns.
"I'm torn between thinking processes. I want to be near you, with you. I want to see and help raise your pups. I want to be by your side in Keaty's pack. I want to be more like a real sister… more human. But… I also want a mate of my own. I also want to bear and raise my own. I also want to be claimed. I want to stay more as a Wolfskin… more bestial." Her body even starts trembling, "Some days, I'd… I'd actually be okay with it, if I get pregnant with Ka-da and just left him to stay with you, but then other days I'd ask myself why I want that, that'd be against the best for the Wolfskin and Kitsune."
Wow… Lupus always knew Vella was really attached to her, hence why she frequently took deep breaths of her scent, but she never knew it was this bad. In fact, she's learned a fair bit on both her and Keaty today… and it's all probably because Lupus herself never went into heat before this. "And you kept this to yourself? Why'd you never tell me?!"
Vella looks away, ashamed. "...What do you want me to be?" She outright avoids her questions, "A sister? A Wolfskin? Because I try, I really try to be both, but no matter how much I to be both, to accept and act as human and beast, I literally can't." Once more her eyes meets Lupus's, "And I can't even make my own decision. I need your opinion. What do I need to be?"
Lupus was understandably unprepared for this. Just earlier, Vella was egging her on to mate with Keaty, she was happy, joking and spending time with her and Silky. But now it seems like she was never really joking in the first place, she was just playing along…
What would she have done if Lupus chose Ka-da? If her choice denied her a mate? Would Vella have an easier time? Lupus would like to think that, yes, Vella wouldn't have this dilemma in the first place. Silky would have been a mate to Keaty and Vella would have just stuck by Lupus's side, even when she would eventually have kits. "Do you not feel as strongly for Keaty? Don't you want to be as close to him?"
"He doesn't accept human things as much and you know it. He still doesn't see us as 'family', but I do." Vella grits her teeth, her sharp canines on full display, her eyes shining with unshed tears, ears drooped, tail down and still.
Lupus never remembered seeing her so hurt before.
"Well, can you, then? Are you really, truly accepting my human habits? Would you really be happy if you lived your life like a sister?"
"That's the problem! I want both!" Vella snaps back. "Decide for me, I can't make my own choice! I need you, but then I only want you. I need a mate, then I don't need a mate. I want pups, but then I don't want pups. I… I want clarity, a drive to pursue only one."
And as if Vella pressing her for an answer wasn't enough, Ka-da howls out in pain as he suffered a direct, unhinged fist from Keaty. It's like Lupus is facing two timers at once. Keaty won't wait when he does end up winning his most intense fight with Ka-da… the right to mate with Lupus. "I wish you had brought this up earlier… I can't think straight." She finally admits, "I'm having to think while also really craving to be held down, to be claimed."
"...oh." She suddenly deflates, "You're right." Another pause, "Alright… I know what I'm gonna do." Her resolve comes out of nowhere. "I'll be ready the second they're through."
So, she's going with 'Wolfskin', then? "I'll love you like a sister regardless of what you choose."
"...I'm still your sister." Wait, what? How can she be ready and willing to mate, but also stay her sister?
Vella… she was far too conflicted to accept both mindsets so smoothly. Or… or maybe Lupus did get through to her? No! There's something still wrong! Uncertainty lines the Wolfskin's body and… Ka-da stumbles backwards, breathing heavily he is clearly approaching a more critical state.
Lupus was so engrossed with Vella's problem that she forgot to keep an eye on them. Silky is staring at them, more confused than anything. She's probably wondering why they haven't pounced on them yet. "Let's go, then." Her words snap Vella out of her trance, who then nods, Beaststone in hand.
Her own Dragonstone shines in kind, and the two sisters shift. Mate now, talk later. Lupus charges for Keaty and Vella goes for Ka-da…
Their fight must have been concluded, as Keaty prevented her from pinning him, literally catching her entire draconic form as she leaped. "I would've came for you, y'know." Despite his Wolfsegger form being unable to, Lupus knows he'd be smirking. "Been waiting for this too… a long time." Lupus shivers, still being held in mid-air.
...as if he hadn't already proved his strength enough yet. "Sister told me…" She breathes. "Breed me… please." Any earlier doubt has since been erased. Right now, all that mattered was him taking control. "I need you."
"Heh…" He chuckles. Then, in another show of excessive strength, flips her around mid-air and pins her to the ground, she lands with a massive thud on the ground… her body even ends up digging into the ground. She gasps, part pleasure, but also part pain, mainly because her wings were forced into a rather uncomfortable position. "Mine." One massive arm on each of her front legs, then his own legs on her hind legs… all of them forcing her to spread as far as she can.
Lupus whimpers, this… is actually really starting to hurt, but… her need outweighs anything else. The thrill of Keaty being so controlling is enough for the pain to be worth it. It is about what the male wants. Her eyes travel downwards and… wow.
Will that even fit?!
Keaty's member is sizable, not being too far off from his arms. She shivers again at the thought of that entering her. The Wolfsegger wasted no time, he rammed his entire length and width into her, forcing her vaginal walls to part so quickly… and oh, did it feel so good. Right there, her inner walls clenched around his length and she lets out a ragged growl. He chuckles, clearly pleased about how he got her to climax so soon.
But, of course, mating isn't just a single thrust.
Without waiting for her to recover, Keaty pulls out most of his massive 'wolf', before slamming it right back in. Lupus would have recoiled from the force, had Keaty not been holding her down. She feels like, if he applied any more force, her bones would end up giving way. A third powerful thrust and Lupus lost what little feeling she had in her hind legs.
He's only just started and she feels like she's already been mated with.
The fourth thrust came in much easier, as her inner walls were both no longer trying to squeeze his length, and his member had forced itself to make the travel easier. That didn't mean it felt any less amazing. Fifth, six, his tempo increases, faster and faster. Lupus can tell she's losing whatever leftover feeling she had on the entire lower half of her body… only her core was desperately holding on to the sensation of touch.
And boy, it is milking every chance of touch it can get.
Her inner walls contracted a second time as he continued to slam into her without any sign of slowing down. "Haah…" She finally finds her voice again, though unable to do much more.
"Mine." He growls as his hot liquid spurts inside her… and it kept going, seemingly non-stop. She could also feel a bulge at her entrance, something preventing his liquid from leaving her. Hopefully, anyway… She could feel almost literal waves of it hitting her inner walls. So… much. She then gasps as he finally bites into her… into her. A small portion of her scales go with it, but she's fine with that.
His grip releases, as does his member popping out of her. And as she assumed, she felt a rather hefty amount of his liquid flow out of her… she simply can't hold that much! Lupus then rolled to her side, and that's it. She really couldn't do anything else. Her eyes glazed over as she saw that Vella stayed true to her word from earlier. She is mounting him, ironically in the same position Keaty just held her down in.
Ka-da's need for control is really showing, as he actually seems quite livid at the fact that the bitch in heat is in complete control. If she wants to stop, she stops. If she wants to go, she goes. Lupus yawns, feeling far too exhausted to even watch her sister pumping her Wolfskin form over Ka-da's Nine tails form. A few blinks later and Lupus falls asleep.
Tears remained unshed as Vella charged Ka-da, who was far too injured to dodge. With her far superior strength, she easily pins him to the ground, akin to how Wolfskin normally mate. She frankly didn't care if his form didn't approve. Right now, she wants to clear her mind, she just wants to focus on mating… on her terms. She growls, asserting a sense of dominance.
He returns a growl, but it comes out weaker. "Get. Off." He says with his most demanding tone.
"No. We're doing this my way, fox." While it is true that Kitsunes are basically foxes who can use a Beaststone to shift between a more human or more vulpine form… to call a Kitsune a 'fox' and by extension to call a Wolfskin a 'wolf' is actually a heavy insult. She's basically calling him unintelligent, that he's about as good as a normal fox. Unworthy of being a Kitsune, it is an obviously false accusation, considering Ka-da is skilled enough to assume the higher, more powerful Nine-tails form.
"Is that so, wolf?" He returns the insult, "Or are you even that little? At least a common beast would know its place."
"Times change." She sniffs. "And this time, the bitch in heat is in control." She forces his legs aside… then feels him tug at her with his multiple tails. Reaching down for a moment, she snags the entire collection of tails near the base with her massive hand. "And you best keep those still." Her head lowers and she growls again, "I. Am. In. Charge." His attitude remains defiant, "You. Will. Listen." She replaces her hand with one of her feet on his tails… then presses down. He yelps. She positions herself over him, then smoothly slides down without any issue, letting out a growl of satisfaction as she feels him enter her.
...She's had better.
Regardless, she has an urge to mate, so he'll have to do for now.
She begins the motions herself, whilst making sure her other leg and foot has enough force applied to keep his waist from moving. He whimpers in pain… barely any pleasure to it for him. She pumps him, up and down, sometimes she slows down, she might stop, or she might speed up. It's her choice, and he will comply. It feels… exhilarating, to know that she's in control.
Indeed, times change.
Feeling empowered by this, she continues to pump him at her pace. Yet, he somehow remains defiant… but then, she applies just a biiit more pressure. He yelps, nearly howls out in pain. Any leftover defiance turns into something more manageable…
Fear.
Yes, she knows exactly how she's going to be able to stay with her sister and be able to mate. And all that needs to change is that she remains in control. "You, haah… got it, now?" She growls. He whimpers, which to her is a good enough answer. Soon enough, she feels him almost over the edge.
She stops.
Breathing heavily, she really wants to continue, to have the feeling of finishing this off, but… no. That is something he would want, too. Instead, she glances over to her sister… not only is Keaty already done, but Lupus is fast asleep.
Oh yes, she knew Keaty would be better for her.
Returning her gaze to him, she takes those last few pumps and he climaxes. He groans, she moans. Yet, she retains her grip on him, unwilling to let go even now. "Mine." Is what she growls to him. "And you better not forget it, either." She pulls out as he lies there, perhaps he's in too much pain to get up? Maybe he gets the idea that she's in control?
"Velouria." Keaty calls her out.
She honestly can't tell his emotion right now. "Yes, brother?"
"That won't last."
She scoffs, "I'm not losing her." She glares at Ka-da, "As long as I'm bearing pups, feel free to tuck your tails and run as far away from us as you can. So, until I know, you're staying."
"And that's your plan…?" Okay, now she can make out disapproval. "You're going to bear his kits, then discard him?"
"You don't get it, brother." She steps forward, "You've never dealt with human thoughts as much and…"
"Yes, I have." He shifts back to his human, completely unbothered by Vella now towering over him, "And I've made my decision. I'm a Wolfskin, through and through. You wondered why I never referred to either of you as 'sister', or even by the 'nicknames', and that's why. It's not something Wolfskin do. I claimed Corrin, she's my mate, and I'm going to start a pack with her. Now, what's your long-term plan? What will you do if your kits or pups don't share the same views as you?"
"Then…" She hesitates. Keaty's right, what is she going to do? Abandon them? Force them to stay? Neither of those options are reasonable… Stay with Ka-da? Does she even want kits with him if she can't stay with Lupus?
"Velouria. What are you? Wolfskin or sister?" He's asking the same thing she was asking Lupus.
"I don't know! I wanted sister to tell me that…"
"She can't make that decision for you! Wolfskin? Sister?" He presses and she recoils, then he takes a deep breath. "Alright, let's think of it like this. What has Corrin been trying to accomplish all these years?"
"Bringing her families together. Pack and blood-family."
"And…?"
"Kistunes and Wolfskin."
"Right. Now, how would the Kitsunes view what you just did?" Another blow to her mentality. "If you don't want to risk tearing down what Corrin tried so hard to accomplish, then you're going to stay with him, you will be his mate, he will be the alpha, and you will bear his kits." He narrows his eyes at her hulking form, "Wolfskin? Human?" He then turns and walks away to Lupus, "I'm staying by her side until she wakes. Then I'll hunt some beasts for her. I will find a den for her. Her blood-family will be informed of what's going on. And after… only after my pups are old enough to defend themselves, will she be able to freely visit her family again."
"You just said you're Wolfskin, but that's…"
"I'm allowing it." He rounds on her, "I understand her human needs. I might not be able to handle them properly myself, but I'm aware she wants to keep that part of her. If she wants to spend some time with her family, I'll let her. I'm not denying her happiness. I won't deny her human side." He turns again, then takes a seat near Lupus, Beaststone at the ready. Vella takes a step closer and, "No. Give all of us some distance, clear your mind on your own, then come to a decision."
Tears stinging her eyes once more, she turns and leaves.
Keaton breathes a sigh. "Hey… Keaton?" Kaden asks from his spot. At least he's laying on his side now. "Were things always that tense with you two? It seems like it's been a long-term thing… even though Selkie and I never seen it."
"Maybe just with her, because she never said a word about it." Another sigh, "I'm assuming she never thought this particular situation would ever happen… and now she's paying the price for that silence." A pause, "You okay? Do you need anything?"
"Legs are sore, still in pain." He gripes, "Wondering when Selkie will be back."
"...Well, if you're still here and want any food when I go hunting for my mate, let me know."
"...Thanks." He mutters, followed by a pause, before he shakes his head, "Nevermind."
Keaton shrugs, then looks at Corrin who is still very much asleep. Taking a breath, he raises a hand and starts petting her head.
Yeah, he's Wolfskin. Yes, he chooses to live as such… but he can also try to accommodate for her human side. And given that, even asleep, she's nudging her head closer to his hand, he figures that was the right call.
A/N: Alright, I wanna go ahead and address it now, that big question that's probably lingering in a number of heads…
Vella's attitude made no sense! I thought everyone was supposed to be at peace with each other! Why did you type it out like that?
Vella is suffering from a similar mental duality problem as Yasei did waaay over in 'Thirst for Blood', except that this time, Vella brought this on herself. She chose to try and think like a human, she pushed herself to be a sister, so when the time came to where it was 'sister' or 'Wolfskin', she became distraught. She never forced herself to answer that question before.
Keaty never had this problem. Yes, he can and will occasionally think more like a human, but he's also accepted and is set on being a 'Wolfskin' and not a 'brother'.
It's… kinda ironic, honestly. Vella, the one who usually is so supportive of Lupus's human habits, suddenly becomes the one being hurt the most by those same emotions. Think of it like, in-game Velouria's parent-child support with Keaton, though this version is probably even more intense. She's outright terrified of losing Lupus, hence why she made those rash decisions.
