So, here's the finale to Dark Light, Ch.8- enjoy and let me know your final thoughts on it plz!
Ch.8- Only Look At Me
'It's been on my mind for a while,
Gotta get this off my chest,
Before it's…too late.'
Steele was overwhelmingly happy at Balto's answer, he finally had found the one meant for him and he was never going to let him go.
'I can't let you go,
Ya gotta let it go.
"I can't let you go,
Ya gotta…listen.'
'Just looking at you and smiling a few times a day,
I've told you hundreds of times "You're the love of my life".
And I've told you, in this corrupt world,
You're the only one my restless mind can trust.'
The rest of their time was spent running together, watching sunsets on the hills surrounding the town and overall just being there for each other…even when they had competition.
6 months had passed since the Ditheria incident, and the two mates were practically inseparable. But that didn't mean that there weren't dogs who were trying to steal them away from each other for themselves. In Balto's case, he'd met a fellow half-breed named Kyle who repeatedly kept trying to ask him out only to meet the business end of Steele's jealous growling.
'Though you thought I'd change my mind about you,
If you felt uneasy I smiled and told you that'd never happen.
In my endlessly wandering, hollow heart,
The only place I can rest is in you but…
I hate myself for having strayed from you,
Even today I'm wrapped up in what I'm doing and erasing you, "baby, baby."'
'Even though I stray from you, don't you stray from me, "baby",
Even though I forget about you, don't you forget me, "lady".
Even though I drink and don't call,
Even if I briefly meet eyes with another girl,
Only look at me.'
As for Steele, his trouble came in the form of a female black and white Husky named Lucille. She thought him too handsome and good for Balto and offered to have his puppies, which resulted in Balto pinning her into the snow and growling so viciously that she thought he really was a wolf. Steele had to tell him that she was a gutter skank who wasn't worth his time and that no one else could take his place no matter what, that puppies didn't matter to him as long as they were together. After hearing these words, Balto's mind cleared from its' angry haze and the two mates walked off, leaving the petrified she-bitch cowering in the snow muttering about wolves running loose unrestrained.
'Tonight you've waited for me 'til the break of day again,
You're talking to me through tears, saying I've changed.
But facing you, my feelings for you are the same as before.
Though I soothe you countless times,
I'm gonna have a hard time without you.
Sometimes I lose my breath just thinking about you.'
'But sometimes you suffocate me (smother me).
In endless fights and an endless sigh,
The only place you can rest is in me.
But I hate myself for growing tired of you,
Even today I'm smiling but secretly losing faith,"baby, baby."'
'Even though I stray from you, don't you stray from me, "baby",
Even though I forget you, don't you forget me, "lady".
Even though I drink and don't call,
Even if I briefly meet eyes with another girl,
Only look at me.'
This seemed to be the normal routine for the two mates, no matter how much they told the dogs of their town otherwise they didn't seem to get the hint. The final incident was when Steele found his mate cornered in an alleyway about to be mounted by a Husky mix named Ben, Balto was trying to fight the bigger dog off of him but wasn't faring so well. Steele all but lost it when the bigger dog was smirking at him confidently, like he was about to win a fight that neither even knew had begun.
Steele ran up to Ben and threw the bigger dog off of his mate, then proceeded to rip his throat out when Balto moved between them and kissed Steele in an effort to calm him down. That seemed to work, because not even a minute later Steele was walking away with his mate in a hurry before he changed his mind and went for the kill anyway.
"Steele, listen…"
"Did he get inside you?"
"No, you caught him as he was about to…thank you, Steele."
"I don't understand it, you're a male…last I checked, male dogs- or in your case wolf-dogs, couldn't get pregnant. So why do they keep trying to mount you and breed with you?"
"Well, that's not entirely true…I actually can carry pups inside me, doctors still don't know how it even occurs- but my mother told me that the great Inuit spirits made it possible for both male and female wolf-dogs to get pregnant and carry pups. It only happens with half-breeds like me though, and only if the mother is a wolf and the father is a dog. Wish I knew the whole truth myself or how it's even possible, but that's what I was told."
Steele was shocked, if this was true then Steele's dream of becoming a father with his very beautiful and very male mate could still become a reality.
'I know I'm being selfish,
But in the time I've been wasting every day, I've become corrupt like this, "baby"…
I only want you to stay pure forever.
I want this with my whole heart, this is my faith in you,
Don't leave me 'til the day you die.'
'Even though I stray from you don't you stray from me, baby.
Even though I forget you, don't you forget me, lady.
Even though I drink and don't call,
Even though I briefly meet eyes with another girl,
Only look at me…
Only look at me.'
"Balto?"
"Yes, Steele?"
"I never got the chance to ask you this, but what do you want from us?"
"Well…I've always wanted a family, a few puppies with my mate but I never really had the chance to consider this until I met you."
"In that case, Balto…I want to start a family with you."
"Really?! You want to be a father?"
"Of course, but before that I want you to come and meet my father Roscoe- I promised him that if I ever found a mate I'd bring them over to meet him. Would you like to come with me and meet my old man?"
"S-sure, but what if he doesn't like me?"
"He'll love you, now come on- we've only got a few hours of daylight left and I think he's home alone today."
After much hesitation and protesting (mostly on Balto's part lol), the two mates were sitting inside the living room of a 2 story house in front of a much older Husky. He looked exactly like Steele, only his ears were folded down like a regular dog's ears. His eyes were a very light green-blue and he was looking at the two dogs in front of him, the one on the left he recognized as his only other son Steele, but the other one he didn't know. His gaze went right to his son, he wanted to know who this other pup was next to his own.
"Steele, it's been far too long since your last visit. I trust you've been well?"
"Of course, father."
"Tell me…who is this young one you've brought with you today?"
"Father, this is Balto…he is my mate, I promised I would bring my mate to meet you and this is him."
Roscoe got up on shaky legs and walked around Balto much like a predator looking to find a weakness in their prey's defenses and go in for the kill, he sniffed the wolf-dog all over before sitting back down in front of them.
"So, it's true…you are the one my son has chosen as his mate, I can smell his scent all over you. It is very refreshing to see my youngest son finally settle down with a mate that he loves with all his heart, permit me to introduce myself to you. I am Roscoe, Steele and Victor's father. I heard that you are the one who saved our town from death, Balto…I am very proud of both of you, especially you Balto for saving a town that probably never even liked you."
"You seem to know quite a bit about me, Roscoe."
"Yes well, I also knew your father Logan…he was once a part of my team long before Steele and his older brother were born, I also knew your beautiful mother Anieu- I can see the both of them in you, I only wish I could have kept you from suffering like you have. Anyway, have you explained to Steele the reason why exactly you two have not mated yet?"
Steele looked at his mate, he too was also curious as to why Balto wouldn't let the Malamute fuck him into every snow covered hill in sight after nearly 9 months.
"Because…Steele, the reason why I haven't given myself to you yet is because mating is not only physical for us but it's also very personal- wolves mate for life, even wolf-dogs like me also mate for life. Once we mate with a partner, it's until death…I wanted to make sure that this is what you really want, and not something you'd regret once it was followed through to the end."
Steele looked into his mate's deep golden eyes, that could be the reason why Balto wouldn't mate with him yet…he was nervous and insecure about the consequences of their actions together, but the Malamute had promised the half-breed that they'd be together until the very end, no matter what came their way.
"Balto, in all my years of living in this town and on this earth, the one thing I regret is not falling in love with you sooner…I am absolutely sure that I want to be your mate- I love you, Balto…my beautiful mate, my one and only forever more. So yes, I want us to be together for life."
Balto was blushing and crying at this point, Steele was kissing his mate's tears away with small licks and nips, and Roscoe was watching the whole scene fondly. It reminded him of when he would comfort his mate who had died from cancer 3 years ago, shortly afterwards Victor and his family left Nome to go live in California. Roscoe cleared his throat, thus gaining the attention of his son and his soon to be son in law.
"It warms my old heart to see you two so happy together, you have chosen a fine and beautiful mate Steele…I am the proudest father in the world, and I know your mother, sisters, and brother would be proud of you too. Now then, I give you two my blessings to have a wondrous mating with hopefully the sounds of tiny paws running through the snow very soon. Balto, you and Steele should visit Anieu and receive her blessings as well."
Balto nodded at Roscoe, who smiled happily at the two mates before they left him alone once again. The old Malamute was truly thrilled to see his youngest son grown up and living happily with the one his heart was truly meant for and not that damn glory bitch Jenna.
As Balto and Steele walked though the town side by side, Dex and Rick approached them with Nikki standing between them. A smile was on her face, and the first thing that Balto noticed was that her stomach was actually bulging out…as though she were pregnant.
"Hey Steele, how are you and Balto doing today?" Rick asked with a semblance of a smile on his own face.
"We're fine, Rick. Why is Nikki with you two?"
Dex was the one to speak this time, his excitement was building to near critical levels and he could no longer hold it in as he began talking ecstatically to the point of passing out from not breathing between sentences, but managed to stay conscious.
"Because, me and Rick have decided to have puppies together and Nikki is our surrogate! We can't wait to be parents!"
The two mates were shocked, but Steele recovered soon enough to speak to his friends with a sense of fondness in his tone.
"Well, congratulations to the both of you…Nikki, I wish you a safe and healthy delivery of your pups. As for me and Balto, we have somewhere to be right now so we'll see you guys later."
"Off to bury a bone in your most favorite spot, Steele?" Dex said in a teasing tone that had Balto blushing and Steele rolling his eyes as the two mates left to go find Anieu.
(Outskirts of town)
Balto was standing in front of a statue of a great white wolf, its amber-gold eyes seemed to be staring right into your soul. Steele found it to be hauntingly beautiful in its intimidation despite being a statue. Balto smiled at Steele before turning back to the statue, he seemed nervous about something but soon let it drop as he spoke to the white wolf fondly.
"Steele, this statue represents my mother Anieu. Mother, this is my mate Steele…I love him with all my heart and wish for your blessings to mate with him. If you have anything to say, please give us a sign."
After a few tense minutes of silence, a gentle wind caressed them both across their faces…as if Anieu was approving of their love and giving them her blessings to be together.
"Thank you, mother. I hope to speak to you again soon."
Balto then turned away from the statue and walked off, Steele following close by as they headed for the nearest secluded meadow. After a few minutes, Balto stopped in the middle of a grassy clearing and looked at his mate lovingly, Steele looking back at him before the two mates closed the distance and kissed openly without having to worry about other dogs interrupting them like all those other times. The kiss started out shy but soon became bold, tongues battling for dominance with Steele winning in the end and Balto relenting to his dominant Malamute lover.
Their eyes soon became clouded over with mating lust, Steele had been keeping his inside for what he felt was far too long and wanted to mount his mate and fuck the living hell out of him, to make sure he wouldn't be able to walk for a week after he was done with him. Balto seemed to sense his mate's eagerness and anticipation, as well as his pent up frustrations and turned around to expose his waiting entrance. Steele was excited, his own thick shaft sliding out from underneath his fur to stand proudly at attention, this was what he'd been waiting for for nearly 9 months and this time no one would stop them.
"Balto, if you're sure about this-"
"Steele, I am more sure than I've ever been about anything. Mate with me, take me, mark me as yours and only yours."
Steele walked over to his very willing mate and stood over top of him, not quite going inside just yet but instead settling on nipping his ear gently before talking into the pointed organ arousedly.
"Then I hope you'll forgive me if I hurt you…I wanted this to be gentler, but I can't wait anymore and I've been holding back for nearly 9 months now. I think it's time for us to be true mates, don't you my dear Balto?"
"Y-yes, Steele…just do it, already!"
That was all the encouragement Steele needed as he sheathed himself deep into Balto, his thick cock sliding into the inviting and warm heat of his mate roughly but then easily. After a few minutes of letting his mate adjust, Steele felt Balto push back onto his cock as a message to move. Steele pulled out only to slam back in roughly, the sounds of whimpering soon turned to moaning and begging in the clearing where no one could hear them but the wind, Steele could feel himself nearing his release as Balto could feel his own end nearing as well…after one final thrust and calling Balto's name loudly, Steele felt the knot come undone and bury itself deep inside his mate, the two just laid there as the Malamute rode out his release and pumped Balto full of his seed. They had to stay this way for the next hour as Steele's cock finally softened enough for him to pull out of Balto.
By the time they were finished, the wolf-dog was too exhausted to walk so Steele carried him back to the boathouse to rest…neither of them aware of what was to come in 5 months time.
And that's the end, sorry if the lemon seemed kinda weird, but I've never really written this kind of lemon before…so, I thought I'd throw in some face time with Roscoe because I feel bad for not mentioning him so much in the story except near the beginning, and of course Dex and Rick got to show up before the end. Also, I'm not sure if the Tae Yang lyrics in this chapter are the right ones or not, let me know what I possibly did wrong with them plz? Also, quick question, should I do the second movie next or leave it at this? Let me know in a review or private message, plz? Thank you, and hope to see you all again soon!
