[POV: Lura, 909 BBF]
{You will be great, my champion.}
Lura woke with a yawn, before snuggling back into Wolfe and Cordina. She had to admit, she absolutely loved sleeping with the two umbreons. They always kept her so warm. As for Wolfe's talk that they kept him warm, Lura noticed that he was normally the one that was sleeping around them, keeping her and Cordina warm. It was rather heartwarming.
She laid there for only about ten minutes, before she felt Cordina shift, signaling that she was awake now. Lura rotated so that they were facing each other, and watched as the umbreon blearily opened her eyes, stretched, and yawned cutely. Lura giggled.
"Good morning," she said softly.
"Mornin'," Cordina mumbled. Lura giggled again, as Wolfe suddenly tightened his body around the two of them.
"I refuse to accept that it's already morning," he grunted. Cordina snorted in amusement, before pressing a paw against his chest.
"Sorry dear, I'm afraid it doesn't work like that. Regardless of if you accept it or not, it's still morning," she told him.
He groaned. "No~," he complained, drawing the word out for a few seconds. Lura laughed at him.
"You know, we don't exactly have to move yet," Lura reasoned.
Wolfe opened one eye and looked at her with a smile. "Love, that's probably the wisest thing you've said all week," he told her happily.
"But then you would miss your duel with Kage," Cordina added. Wolfe immediately shot his head up.
"Oh yeah! Almost forgot about that! Ladies, I might need the room tonight," he said, grinning widely.
They laughed at him, as he eagerly got out of bed and leaped onto the floor, clearly excited. They followed him, putting on their egg harnesses in the process. Lura felt rather proud that their eggs were growing as much as they were. It seemed that every day, they grew bigger and bigger. Just the thought that she had a little girl growing in it made Lura smile. I'm a mother, she thought. Or at least, a soon to be mother.
They exited their room, and Wolfe immediately sat next to Kage's and Nova's door, tapping a paw impatiently. Lura and Cordina exchanged amused looks, as they sat behind him and waited patiently.
After they had waited for around 20 minutes, Lura heard sounds coming from their room. A moment later, Sin and Nova walked out, Nova smiling brightly.
"Good morning!" Nova exclaimed once she saw them. Lura giggled softly, as did Cordina.
"Good morning!" they chorused back.
"Good morning! I hope you're ready for today!" Wolfe said, looking at Sin.
The red ringed umbreon just nodded lightly. "Though I'm not sure how you'll be able to fight against me as an unarmed human," he told him.
Wolfe frowned. "I have faith! I can do it!"
Sin rolled his eyes. "Yeah, yeah. Sure you can."
"Did you want me to fight as an umbreon again? Cuz I'm fairly sure that I'll win then as well."
Nova's eyes brightened. "Well now, someone's confident. What makes you so sure that you will win this time?" she asked.
Wolfe chuckled. "Because I will be prepared to deal with someone very smart. He barely won the last match, and I wasn't fully prepared to deal with that particular situation, now was I?" he answered.
Nova frowned. "Well, a win is a win, isn't it?"
Wolfe shook his head. "Nope, sometimes how you win is just as important as winning in general."
"I would disagree. A victory is a victory, after all."
Wolfe snorted in amusement. "Nova darling, I have to tell you that it is an absolute delight talking to someone as intelligent as you, mainly for the fact that we can actually have semi-intelligent conversations," he told her cheerfully.
Nova giggled, and nodded in understanding. Lura smiled at their antics. It was always so entertaining whenever Wolfe interacted with anyone. One of the reasons that she loved him so much.
"Alright, Kage, you and I have a date," Wolfe said to Sin after a few moments of silence.
The red ringed umbreon groaned. "Ugh, fine. Let's get this over with," he replied.
Wolfe nodded with a grin, before turning tail and exiting their sleeping wing, with Lura, Cordina, Sin, and Nova following. Lura glanced at Cordina out of the corner of her eye and smiled. She saw her smile back, and just felt happy.
As soon as they exited the wing, Lura immediately heard a grunt as Wolfe collided with another person. She peeked around the doorway and let out a giggle as she saw Wolfe completely entangled with Luna, who was apparently just about to enter their area.
"Good morning hon, sorry about that!" Wolfe exclaimed from underneath her. Luna laughed lightly, though Lura noticed something cross her face at his words.
"Don't worry about it Aurumn, that was my fault. Oops!" she replied.
He chuckled softly, before untangling them from each other. After he had done that, he smiled and winked at Luna, causing Cordina's mom to blush slightly. "Well now that you're here, you can guide us to the sparring arena we were at yesterday!" he said cheerfully.
Luna shook herself, and frowned at him. "Why did you want to go there? Oh, and I was also coming to tell you that Duke still hasn't woken up yet. You got him pretty good," she stated.
Wolfe raised an eyebrow. "Meh, he deserved it. Didn't like his superior attitude."
"He's really not that bad, Aurumn. You two just didn't have the best of introductions."
Wolfe snorted. "No, that's not it at all. Sure it wasn't the best of first impressions, but the real problem is that he sees himself as the alpha male around here. I don't like other alphas. And he knows that I won't ever submit to him, either. So, he just acts like an ass to me."
Luna frowned again. "I wish that you would try and give him another chance. He's a good pokemon! He is! He just… is kind of territorial…" she trailed off.
Wolfe frowned at her. "Luna, why exactly do I need to get along with him in the first place?"
She smiled at him, eyes brightening slightly. "Because I want my old mate and my new mate to get along with each other!" she said cheerfully.
Wolfe kept frowning, as her smile faltered. "Luna, why would that matter in the slightest?" he asked her in a cold tone.
She jerked her head back as though she had been struck. Then she lowered her head so that her beautiful eyes were focused on the ground. "I… I'm sorry… I just thought that since you two had something in common that you would like to be near each other a bit more…" she trailed off.
Wolfe shook his head softly. "Luna, the absolute only thing we have in common would be that we both had some form of a relationship with you. While that is true, that was a long time ago. At the moment, you aren't as important in my life anymore as you are in his. What that means, is that I have no reason to want to like him."
She jerked her head back again, before looking up at him. Lura saw that there were tears in her eyes. "Do I really mean so little to you now? Are you upset with me? Did I do something wrong?" she cried.
Lura saw Wolfe close his eyes and breathe in deeply. Then he slowly exhaled through his mouth. "Cordina, can you take the group to the sparring arena? I need to have a conversation with Luna," he told the group quietly.
Cordina nodded, before flicking her tail in a gesture for the others to follow her. As Lura padded after her, she turned her head back to look at Wolfe, who was standing in front of the crying umbreon. Then she focused ahead, lost in thought.
[POV: Wolfe]
He watched the group disappear in the shadows, before turning his attention back to Luna, who was looking at the ground again, sniffling softly. He mentally sighed. Way to go demon, you're really making her feel special now. Asshole, he chastised himself.
He placed a paw against her cheek gently, trying to fight against the turmoil of emotions inside of him. He honestly didn't know how to feel. He stroked her cheek gently, feeling her press her face against his paw. "Luna, love. Stop crying, please. I didn't necessarily mean it like that," he told her gently.
She sniffed again, before nodding slowly. Then she breathed in deeply, and exhaled slowly. Then she looked up at Wolfe again, eyes still brimming with tears. "What did I do wrong?" she asked softly.
Wolfe sighed, before gesturing for her to follow him. She did, padding after him as he headed back towards his room. When he got inside, he gestured for her to hop on the bed. She did so, sitting down with her tail wrapped around her front paws as she looked down at the mattress.
He jumped up beside her, before sitting down next to her and wrapping his tail around her, bringing her in close to his chest. She sniffed again, before leaning into him, burying her face in his chest fur as it dried her tears.
"How come you don't love me anymore?" she asked, voice muffled by his fur.
He sighed again. "Luna, I never said I didn't love you. My affections aren't so wanton as to disappear entirely, just after not seeing someone for an admittedly long time. If anything, I love you more than when we were actually mates. You see, I thought you died. I thought I watched you die. That just placed you in my thoughts and heart more firmly than anyone else, barring maybe Lura. There hasn't been a day that's gone by without you entering my thoughts at least once. I never stopped loving you, Luna, not for a minute," he told her gently.
He felt her stiffen in surprise at his words, pulling away to look at him in wonderment. "How do I know that you're telling the truth?" she asked quietly.
He smiled at her slightly, before lowering his mouth to hers and kissing her, much to her obvious pleasure as she kissed him back. He maintained their contact for a while, not rushing anything at all, just enjoying her company, breathing in her scent and loving her touch. It had destroyed him when he thought he lost her.
And now it was destroying him that she had another mate.
Finally, he broke away, and placed his chin on her head softly. "Whatever happens, Luna, just know that I will always love you. Now and forever. But we can't have the same relationship that we had before. Not with you having a new mate, particularly one who is as possessive as Duke is."
She moved her head out from under his and stared up at him hopefully. "But why not? Duke doesn't have to know! Neither does Cordina or Lura! It would just be our little secret!"
Wolfe shook his head. "I couldn't keep that from Luna or Cordina. Lura would probably be alright with you and I do whatever, but not your daughter."
"Then tell Lura, nut don't tell Cordina! Please, Aurumn, do this for me! I… I love you! Possibly more than Duke… You were my first love, Aurumn. You mean so much to me. So much…" she trailed off, starting to cry as she deemed her situation hopeless by Wolfe's gaze.
He sighed again, before kissing her once more. "I'll think about it, alright? I'm not going to make any promises, but I will definitely think about it. I'll speak with Lura as well," he told her once he broke away.
Her eyes began to glisten with hope. "That's all that I can ask for," she told him breathlessly, before leaning up and kissing him again.
[POV: Lura]
"There they are!" Lura exclaimed as she saw Luna and Wolfe enter the battle area. She stood on her hind legs, balancing with her thick tail as she waved her paw at them. Wolfe locked eyes with her, and she saw him break into a wide grin as he laughed. Then he started bounding towards her cheerfully.
Lura was about to drop back down onto all fours, when Wolfe suddenly disappeared and reappeared right in front of her. She let out a squeak as he lovingly tackled her onto her back, nuzzling her furiously.
"You have no idea, absolutely no idea, how adorable you are Lura," he told her, growling playfully.
Lura giggled, before wrapping her was around him as best she could, hugging him and nuzzling him back. "Well, thank you I suppose," she said, laughing.
He peered up at her, before adjusting himself so that he was laying on top of her, staring down at her with amusement in his eyes. She smiled back, as he leaned down to kiss her. She let out a happy murr as he did so, enjoying him as always.
Then he broke away and winked at her. "Lura, I love you. Never change," he told her. She giggled at him, before licking his chin and rubbing her head against it.
"I love you too," she said happily.
Wolfe held her against him for a moment, then hopped off of her and looked at the rest of the group, who were all grinning at him.
"Sorry about that, sometimes she's just too adorable to not cuddle. Like that there. She's an evil seductress I tell ya. She knows I can't resist her adorableness, so she just teases me with it," he told them, eyeing Lura out of the corner of his eye.
She and Nova giggled, before Nova spoke. "Oh, I can tell! I mean, just look at her devious expression!" she exclaimed, pointing a paw at Lura. Lura just blinked at her and tilted her head in confusion.
Wolfe immediately groaned and hid his face in his paws as he laid down. "To damn cute~" he groaned, voice muffled by his paws. Nova giggled again. Then Wolfe shot his head up and stared at Sin.
"Kage, let's have this spar! I need something manly now, after witnessing that," he said, nodding at Lura.
Sin chuckled softly, and shook his head. "Alright, let's go," he replied.
He and Wolfe padded back out to the now clear arena. Lura had been slightly surprised to see how many members of the Dark Army were there so early in the morning. Well, I suppose it's actually pretty close to noon, she thought. So, I guess that it really isn't too terribly unexpected.
As Wolfe and Kage took their places, Lura noticed a new pokemon approach their group. At first, she didn't recognize it, but as it sat next to her, she realized that it was a growlithe. She shifted uncomfortably, wondering why it was so close to her. She shifted towards her group, and was relieved when it didn't move any closer.
Then she turned her attention back to the arena. Wolfe and Kage were now facing off against each other, with Wolfe in his human form. Lura gave a little wriggle of excitement as she saw this. The last time she'd seen him fight as a human had been very interesting, not to say a little scary.
Yet, she was still excited to see this spar. She really wished that Wolfe would teach her how to fight again. But, she understood that they had been busy recently. So, she didn't hold it against him. As if she could.
They stood facing off against each other as Luna walked towards the edge of the arena. Then she called out in a clear voice, saying, "Soldiers of the Dark Army, you are in for yet another treat today. Before you, you see the great mercenary Aurumn Wolfe, and against him you see another great mercenary, Kage Reign, known as Sin. This is a rematch of yesterday, so without further ado, give me the count!"
The crowd immediately responded with a count down. As they reached one, Lura noticed that Nova appeared to be incredibly focused, and remembered what the argument yesterday was about. Apparently, Nova was very smart when it comes to tactics. Then the crowd shouted, "Fight!"
Immediately, Sin moved incredibly quickly darting around to the edge of Wolfe, moving almost faster than she could follow. She remembered this from yesterday, how sometimes Kage would start to move way faster than what should be possible. He launched several Shadow Balls at Wolfe, who simply dodged them all and waited.
Then Kage ran at him, with his tail glowing brightly. She noticed Wolfe grinning, and knew somewhat what to expect. As the four-foot tall umbreon neared him, Kage suddenly leaped into the air, swinging his tail to try to hit Wolfe in the head.
Wolfe reached up a hand faster than she could see, and grabbed his tail. Then he slung him off to the side, already sending the umbreon dangerously close to the edge. Then Wolfe lowered his center and got in a defensive ready position.
Kage shook himself as he got to his feet quickly, and fired two Shadow Balls at the human, who dodged them. After firing two more Shadow Balls, Kage sprinted towards Wolfe again, tail glowing once more. As he neared, Lura saw him suddenly disappear again, and reappeared with his glowing tail in Wolfe's grip. The two struggled against each other for a few moments, until Kage suddenly spun out of Wolfe's hands.
Then he fired a shadow ball at point blank range into Wolfe's stomach. Lura winced, expecting to see Wolfe go flying. However, she was surprised to see that he didn't even appear to be affected in the slightest. Then she saw a glowing barrier in front of his chest, and gasped slightly. How did he activate a Protect?! He's in human form!
Then Wolfe swept his left foot low across the ground, forcing Kage to jump to avoid it. He was then promptly met with Wolfe's fist into his side, sending the umbreon flying across the arena towards the edge. This time, Wolfe didn't wait for Kage to recover, and immediately he started sprinting towards the downed umbreon.
Kage got to his feet quickly, and leaped away from the edge, narrowly dodging Wolfe's next blow. Before he could capitalize on Wolfe's miss, Wolfe performed a very beautiful backflip, turning his momentum immediately in the opposite direction.
"He fights well. For a human, anyway," a masculine voice spoke in her ear, causing her to flinch and stop focusing on the sparring match. Sitting next to her, eyes focused on the arena, was the growlithe from earlier. Lura shifted her paws uncomfortably, wondering why he was speaking to her.
"Yeah, he's an awesome fighter," she mumbled.
The growlithe nodded, and then looked at her. "So, what's a beautiful 'mon such as yourself doing here?" he asked her.
Lura shifted again. "Well, at the moment I'm just watching the spar. Might I ask who you are?" she asked back.
He nodded and grinned at her. "Ah, where are my manners. My name is Devon O'Press, at your service," he replied, winking at her. This only made Lura even more uncomfortable, though she didn't let it show and just smiled at him.
"Well, it's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. O'Press," she told him respectfully.
He nodded, before looking at her curiously. "So, what's your name, gorgeous?" he asked her.
She quickly turned her face towards the arena again, blushing slightly. "Oops! My bad, I probably should have told you. Anyway, I'm Lura Wolfe," she replied.
He nodded, looking at the fight again. "A beautiful name for a beautiful pokemon," he said.
She shifted uncomfortably. Then he looked at her again. "So, Lura, what do you say that we disappear for a while? I'm sure we'd be able to entertain each other more than this admittedly stale fight," he said suggestively.
Lura stiffened, and kept her gaze on the arena. "I'm sorry, Mr. O'Press, but I happen to have a mate," she said shortly.
He grinned at her. "Please, call me Devon. I insist," he told her.
"As I said, Mr. O'Press, I have a mate."
He frowned, before grinning again. "And I have a girlfriend, but that doesn't stop me, now does it?"
She frowned, starting to feel very anxious. "Sorry, Devon. I'm not interested. Now, can you please go away?"
He kept his grin. "Come now, I'm just being friendly. There's no need to be rude," he told her.
She shook her head, refusing to speak again. She looked back at Wolfe and realized that he was looking at her with a concerned expression. She discreetly gestured with a paw for him to hurry up. He nodded shortly.
Then he suddenly disappeared, before reappearing behind Kage. The he closed his eyes, and his something dark flashed I front of him, forcing Lura to blink and look away. When she looked at the arena again, Wolfe was the only one standing there. She blinked, and followed his gaze. Laying on his side well outside of the arena looking stunned, was Kage. She blinked in surprise, before turning her gaze to Nova, whose mouth was agape in amazement.
Even the growlithe next to her had stopped his flirting and hitting on her, staring at Wolfe in surprise. Then he shook himself. "Who is he?" he asked Lura, no longer trying to get her to disappear with him.
She giggled slightly. "My mate," she said, as Wolfe suddenly flashed into his umbreon form and trotted over to Lura lazily.
Devon shook himself, and looked at her, before looking at Wolfe again. Once Wolfe was fairly close, he turned back towards Lura. "Well, if you'd excuse me, I'll be taking my leave now. I hope that we can continue this conversation later, in perhaps a more… private, place," he told her suggestively.
Lura frowned at him. "Or not. Please, Devon, don't try anything with me. I won't ever say yes," she replied. Devon frowned, and opened his mouth to say something, before Wolfe cut him off.
"And what did you think of that, my love?" he asked her cheerfully, as he wrapped his tail around her possessively, completely ignoring the growlithe. Devon growled, softly.
Lura smiled in relief at Wolfe, rubbing against him affectionately. "I thought it was great, dear. You never cease to impress," she told him honestly. Devon growled again, before turning tail and trotting away.
Once he was gone, Lura let out a deep sigh of relief, pressing against Wolfe firmly. "Thank you so much for rescuing me there," she thanked him.
He nodded, kissing her cheek affectionately. "I'll always be there when you need me," he promised. The he looked in the direction that Devon had disappeared to. "What was up with him, anyway?"
Lura growled softly. "His name is Devon O'Press, and he wanted me to disappear with him for a little bit of 'fun'. I refused and told him that I had a mate. He then told me that he didn't care, and that he had a girlfriend. Apparently, he wasn't too bothered with cheating on her," she answered with a huff.
Wolfe frowned. "Well, I'll be sure to watch out for him for a while. Don't want him getting any ideas, this sexy vaporeon ass of yours is mine and only mine. I'll only share with a select few," he told her, nodding once.
Lura blushed, and giggled. "Oh, it's yours now, is it?" she asked cheekily.
He lowered his muzzle to her neck and bit her gently. "You bet it is," he said huskily.
"While this is certainly a heartwarming and arousing display of affection, do you mind telling me how you did that?" Nova asked, interrupting their conversation. Wolfe looked at her with a small frown.
"What do you mean?" he asked back.
She huffed in annoyance, as Kage approached them, looking disturbed. "How the match was super close, with no side gaining any hand over the other, and then you suddenly teleport and send him out of the arena like it was nothing," she explained. Kage nodded in agreement.
Wolfe's expression cleared, and he started to look a bit sheepish. "Sorry about that, Kage. I did want the match to last a bit longer, but Lura here needed me," he told him.
Nova frowned, before walking up to Wolfe and smacking his nose. Wolfe blinked, shook his head, and sneezed, before frowning at the eevee.
"What did you want, sexy little Nova?" he asked playfully. She growled at him.
"You didn't answer my question! How did you do that? Also, how the hell did you use a Protect while in human form?" she yelled at him.
His nose twitched in amusement. "You know, you are way too sexy when you're angry, you know that? Makes me want to have some 'fun'. Any ways, to answer your question Miss Impatient, my form doesn't affect my abilities. So, that was a very simple answer for the Protect. Now, as for me just 'teleporting,' as you call it, that's one of the advantages for me with my mark. If anyone I have marked is in the vicinity, I can teleport at will. That way, I can protect them fully from any threats," he told her.
She opened her mouth and formed an 'Oh,' before shaking herself and glaring at him again. "How come you didn't tell us about that? And what was that dark energy at the end that sent Kage out of the arena?"
He smiled at her. "You never asked. It's not nice to have someone hide an advantage from you, now is it? As for that dark energy, that's my own personal move. Doesn't really have a name, but it's rather similar to a Dark Pulse. But, not quite. It's non-lethal, though I suppose it could kill someone if used incorrectly. But, it is what it is."
She blinked. Then she frowned at him. "That wasn't very nice," she complained. Wolfe chuckled at her.
"No, no it wasn't. But, you'll survive!"
Kage was looking thoughtful now. He looked at Wolfe curiously. "What does your mark do exactly? Like, for whoever you have marked?" he asked.
Wolfe turned his attention to the red ringed umbreon. "Well, it does quite a bit. For one, it tells me where the person marked is at, no matter the distance. That actually goes both ways, meaning that they can also tell where I'm at. If someone is marked and they're in any pain, I can take their pain into myself, relieving them of it entirely. That's actually a rather new effect. I can also teleport around whoever is marked, within a certain distance anyway. But, if I sense someone is in trouble and I'm half a continent away, I can teleport to them instantly. I can also tell when something bad is about to happen to someone I have marked. The other final thing to mention is that I can communicate with whoever is marked via telepathy, even if they're a dark type. The rather neat thing about my mark, is that it develops. What that means, is every time that I die, my mark gains something new. That's why it hurts those marked. It's changing their biological structure, and all that fancy shit," he told him.
Kage blinked, and nodded, looking thoughtful again. "What did it gain the last time you died?"
Wolfe smiled brightly. "Well, enhanced abilities, both physical and mental. I haven't tested that out yet, so I don't know to what extent, but basically Lura and Cordina are a cut above the normal eeveelutions because of that."
Lura's eyes widened in surprise. "I didn't know that!" she exclaimed.
Wolfe chuckled, and kissed her neck affectionately. "You didn't ask," he answered. Then he turned back to Kage, this time with Wolfe looking thoughtful as well.
"Kage, I don't normally offer this, point in fact I have only a couple times, but would you like to receive my mark? The only downside to having it, is that if I'm ever touching you, I will know everything that you are feeling, both that of which you are aware, and that of which you are not. Also, you might be a teensy bit more affectionate towards me," Wolfe offered.
Kage's eyes widened in surprise as he looked at Wolfe. "You would do that for me?" he asked, unbelieving. Wolfe nodded.
"Yes, yes I would. This way, if you ever need my help you can just ask, and I'll be there," he answered, before looking at Nova. "If you'd like, I can give you one as well."
Nova thought about it, but then shook her head. "No, sorry. I'm not sure that I would be comfortable with that kind of connection with anyone but Kage," she said.
Wolfe nodded understandingly, obviously expecting that answer. Then he looked at Kage again. "So, what do you say? I can also tell you that you'll pass out for at least twelve hours after I mark you, if you decide to accept. I know you don't sleep, Kage, but I think it would be helpful for you. Don't worry, it'll be the most restful sleep that you've never had," he said, with a slight grin at his word play.
Kage hesitated, and looked at Nova. They stared at each other for a long time, before Kage gave a definitive nod, and turned back to Wolfe. "Alright, I'll accept your offer. And… thank you, Aurumn. I appreciate this," he told him.
Wolfe smiled. "No problem, old friend."
They all sat there for a while after that, watching the matches as they took place. The day passed by rather quickly for Lura, as she was kept entertained all day, and was constantly cuddling with Wolfe or Cordina, or both of them. It was… nice.
Later in the day, when the group was taking a break, Luna spoke to Wolfe about some business.
"Aurumn, I should inform you that you'll be leaving on your first mission in a week's time. It'll be a rather simple one, but I'll tell you the details later. But, for now, I would like you to start familiarizing yourself with the pokemon who will be joining you. Her name is Gale Valentine, and I believe that you actually already met her. Normally, I would send Cordina with you as well, but, since she has an egg, I don't think that would be a good idea. So, she'll be staying here until it hatches and the kit gets settled in," Luna told Wolfe.
Wolfe nodded, all business. "Alright, I can agree with that actually. Now, this… Gale, was it? I don't think that I've ever met her, to be honest."
Luna frowned, and then her expression cleared. "Oh, that's right! You only were introduced to her using her code name. She's a white vulpix, goes by the name of Hail," she clarified.
Wolfe's eyes brightened considerably. "Oh, that complimentative little cutie! I remember her! Well now, this should be fun!" he exclaimed.
Luna frowned at him. "What you do on your own time is your business, but there's no 'fun' while on a mission. One of our rules," she told him.
Wolfe frowned. "Awh, that's no fun. Going to be spending a lot of alone time with a pretty vulpix and can't even play. Boring~," he groaned. Lura giggled with Cordina behind a paw, as Luna sighed and rolled her eyes.
"Whatever, just focus on the mission, alright? Not her tail end."
Wolfe winked at her. "I make no promises."
She groaned loudly, as Lura giggled again.
The rest of the day was passed even quicker, until finally, it was time to turn in for the night. Luna led them back to their sleeping area, where she was about to take her leave until Wolfe stopped her.
"Luna, would there be a trainer around here? I want to give Artul some lessons, but I can't be here all the time. So, it would be helpful if someone could teach him how to fight and use his abilities while I'm not around," he said to her.
Luna didn't even hesitate and nodded. "Yes, yes there is. I'll introduce him to you tomorrow. He's slightly gaining in age, but he's still a very impressive fighter. He'd be perfect for teaching Artul, as he's an electric type as well," she told him.
Wolfe nodded. "Alright, thank you. Now, had Duke woken up yet?"
Luna shook her head with a slight smile. "No, you got him pretty good. Our doctors don't expect him to wake up till some point tomorrow. While I should probably be upset with you for that, I have to say that he kind of deserved it. But, no matter. I'll leave you all to your own devices, alright?"
They nodded in agreement, as she took her leave of the group. Lura watched as she went, and found herself slightly warming to her. But then again, she warmed up to everyone rather quickly. Except that Devon guy. Something about him just rubbed her the wrong way.
Wolfe then turned to Lura and Cordina. "Sorry ladies, but I'm going to need some alone time with Mr. Sexy over here. After all, I did earn my reward! Nova, do you mind if they sleep in your room tonight?" he asked.
Nova shrugged, fighting back a laugh. "Sure! It'll be our own little girls party! Who knows, maybe we'll have some fun while you two go at it," she replied with a wink at Lura and Cordina. They giggled together, as Wolfe shrugged. Then he turned to Kage.
"Well, are you ready for some 'fun' tonight?" he asked cheerfully.
The other male umbreon sighed. "I was hoping that you would forget," Kage muttered.
Wolfe shook his head, grinning. "Nope, not with an opportunity like this! I've asked you repeatedly before, and you always refused. But, a deal's a deal! I won, so I get some 'fun'!"
Kage groaned loudly. "I have a feeling this nights going to suck."
Wolfe frowned. "Don't be like that. Trust me, I'm pretty sure that you'll enjoy it. I'll mark you afterwards anyway, so at the very least you can expect a decent night's sleep tonight."
Kage sighed again. "Whatever, let's just get this over with," he muttered.
Wolfe groaned, and rolled his eyes. "Yeah, yeah. You'll enjoy it. Maybe not at first, but as time goes on. I had Gabe bring over something to help you out, so all you have to do is just get your sexy ass inside the room."
Lura giggled as she watched the two males disappear into their room, Wolfe's tail swishing happily. Looks like he's been wanting to do this for a long time, she thought, before heading into Nova and Kage's room with Cordina and Nova.

LEMON WARNING: M/M
[Third Person POV]
"Alright, so I know this will be your first time receiving. Now, that doesn't mean that I'll go super easy on you. You're a tough guy, you can handle a bit of pain. But, I also want this to be fun for you as well. So, we can take breaks whenever you'd like," Wolfe said as they approached the bed. Kage eyed a random bowl that was placed on the center of the mattress.
"What's that?" he asked, pointing a paw at the bowl. Wolfe grinned.
"That, my sexy individual, is what's going to make this nicer for you. Won't be as painful for you to take it up your ass with that, as opposed to without it," he replied.
Kage grimaced slightly and sighed. "Alright, let's just get on with it. How do you want me?" he asked.
Wolfe frowned at him. "I said that I want you to enjoy this as well. So, we'll start off with something for you. Just get on the bed and lay on your back. I'll take good care of you," he told him.
Kage nodded, before jumping on the bed and laying down onto his side, then rolling onto his back. Wolfe jumped up beside him, and made his way towards him.
Once he got close, Wolfe lowered his head to Kage's crotch. He noticed that the other umbreon didn't even appear to be slightly aroused. I'll just have to fix that, now won't I? He put his muzzle close to his sheath, and started to lick it sensually.
Kage stiffened slightly as he felt himself becoming aroused, despite how against he had been with mating with another male. He stared down at Wolfe as his member started to make an appearance, growing to its full length within moments. Wolfe raised his gaze to make eye contact with Kage, before slowly dragging his tongue along his length, all the way to the tip.
Kage felt his breathing start to increase as the male licked him. He'd never had another person except Nova do anything like this with him, and it was a little… odd, to say the least. But that didn't mean that it didn't feel good. He let out a slight grunt as Wolfe's tongue crested his tip, never leaving contact with him. He just stared back at Wolfe as he paused, slightly annoyed that the male had stopped.
Then Wolfe winked at him, before taking Kage's dick into his mouth, not breaking eye contact for a second. Kage let out another grunt as he felt his member enter Wolfe's warm and wet mouth. Wolfe proceeded to lower his head towards Kage's crotch, lips sealed tightly around the rod in his mouth. He didn't normally give blowjobs like this, and he never offered. But when he did give one, he always gave it his best effort.
He resisted the urge to gag as the cock pressed against the back of his throat, adjusted himself slightly, and then lowered his head even more, though this time Kage was going down his throat. He had to admit, he did enjoy the feeling of someone's dick fucking his throat. Something about it was just a big turn on for him. Once his lips reached Kage's sheath, he paused for a moment, staring into Kage's eyes with amusement.
He could see lust written all the way across the other male's face, and he knew that his actions were being appreciated. He waited until Kage started to growl slightly, before winking again. Then he started to bob his head on his dick, pulling it out about halfway, before forcing it down his throat again. He felt Kage start to hump into his mouth as well, making his cock go even deeper inside of Wolfe's mouth, and he started to put more effort into it, licking the underside of Kage's member, as well as the sides.
Kage growled softly as he felt Wolfe's tongue wrap around his cock. Damnit, he's actually good at this, he thought lustfully. He placed his paws on the back of Wolfe's head, and used them to force the male's head down even more forcefully. He started to pant slightly, feeling like he was getting close, when Wolfe suddenly stopped his actions, and forced his head off of his dick. Kage growled again, louder this time, and Wolfe simply chuckled.
"Not yet, big boy. I just wanted to make sure that you were well and truly turned on. If you want me to finish, you'll have to work for it," Wolfe told him. Kage frowned at him, before sighing.
"Fine. What do you want me to do?" he asked.
Wolfe grinned at him. "I want you to present your sexy ass to me," he said cheerfully.
Kage sighed, and nodded. He got to his paws and positioned himself in the classic quadruped stance, chest lowered to the ground, ass high in the air, and tail raised to reveal his virgin tailhole to the other male, with his own member hanging freely between his legs.
Wolfe smiled as he saw his prize. He used his psychic to move the bowl that was on the mattress closer to them, before approaching Kage's raised rear. He took a moment to appreciate his puckered anal ring, before he scraped his tongue across it.
Kage grunted again as he felt Wolfe's tongue on his anus, unsure of how he felt about it. It was just… weird. Then his eyes widened slightly as Wolfe's tongue entered him, and started exploring his untouched entrance. Then he felt the tongue withdraw for a moment, and then plunge back into him. Wolfe continued tongue-fucking the other male for a while, before he removed himself from him entirely. Then Kage felt him rub something against his tailhole, and grimaced slightly. The Wolfe pulled away again, before suddenly mounting Kage, causing the red ringed umbreon to grunt in surprise again.
"Not going to lie, I've been wanting to do this to you for a very long time. Ever since you started training me. It's about time that my patience paid off," Wolfe whispered in his ear seductively. Then Kage felt Wolfe's tip press against his tailhole, and braced himself.
"Just relax, it'll be a lot better for you," Wolfe continued, before slowly and steadily forcing himself into Kage's asshole.
Wolfe moaned as he felt Kage's tight ass around his member for the first time. "Holy fuck, you are tight!" he exclaimed as he penetrated him. Kage groaned slightly. "This was so worth the wait," Wolfe panted, finally coming to a rest all the way inside of the other male.
He kept himself there for a while, just enjoying the sheer pleasure of Kage's tailhole. He felt the umbreon shift slightly underneath him, attempting to adjust to the large dick in his ass. Then Wolfe pulled himself all the way out, wanting to feel the same pleasure as before, when he first entered him. He pressed his tip against Kage's anus once more, and then slammed himself into him as hard as he could, causing Kage to rock forward and grunt, while Wolfe moaned loudly.
"Damn Kage, you are good~" he moaned, before starting to piston his dick in and out of the male, pulling out about halfway and slamming himself in again. Wolfe started to pant slightly, as he fucked Kage's ass. He heard Kage release a few grunts in between his thrusts, and decided that the red ringed umbreon wasn't participating enough. He dug his claws into the side of him, and started to pull the umbreon back into his crotch as he thrust into him, forcing himself deeper.
Kage groaned as he felt Wolfe's claws dig into him, feeling more aroused than he had the entire night. He started to help Wolfe out a little, forcing his body back into the umbreon in time with each thrust and pull. He heard Wolfe moan his name softly.
"Turn your head back towards me," Wolfe ordered.
Kage obliged, turning his head to face the male fucking him, and was immediately met with Wolfe's lips pressing against his as he pounded away at him. His eyes widened slightly and he hesitated. He thought about pulling his head away, but in the end decided to just return the little affection. So he closed his eyes and kissed back.
Then he felt Wolfe's tongue lick his lips, and hesitated again. Then he allowed the male to enter his mouth with his tongue, and felt Wolfe explore him.
Wolfe moaned into Kage's mouth, more than pleased that the umbreon had returned his kiss. It also didn't hurt that he was still thrusting balls deep into him. As he fucked the male's ass, he couldn't help but notice that Kage felt better than Ellis or Tal. Definitely his number one male lay.
He started to pant into Kage's maw, and picked up his thrusting pace, going in harder and pulling out faster, fucking the umbreon recklessly. He felt Kage start to slam his ass back into his crotch even harder, and guessed that he was starting to get into it. He decided that he wouldn't knot him until he orgasmed first, just so he could tease him later. He felt Kage's ass clench around his dick a few times, and almost lost it. But he didn't and kept fucking him.
He felt Kage's breath pick up into his mouth, and knew that he was getting close. The blow job earlier probably helped with things as well, as he had intentionally stopped when he was getting close, for this very reason. He grinned into the other male, and started to rut him as hard as he could, forcing the umbreon's body forward with every thrust as Kage grunted into him.
He felt Kage's ass clench around him a few more times, before he broke their kiss and groaned loudly as he came onto the bed beneath him. Wolfe grinned, slammed his muzzle back onto Kage's, and thrust into him all the way to his knot, before grinding it into the male's ass, tying them together as he knotted him.
Kage groaned as he felt Wolfe's sperm fill his ass, being forced to accept it all as it couldn't escape from him due to Wolfe's knot blocking his tailhole's entrance. He was slightly surprised at the amount that Wolfe was pumping into him, but even more surprised that he had orgasmed like that himself.
Wolfe continued to fill him for the next five minutes, during which time Kage felt as though his stomach were expanding slightly, though he knew it wasn't. Finally, he felt Wolfe's dick throb in him one more time and shoot out one last load, before the male was done. However, Wolfe didn't stop kissing him after he had finished, and Kage was starting to wonder why that was. Then Wolfe broke the kiss and grinned at him.
"Damn Kage! That was way better than I had thought it would be. But, don't think that you're done yet. That was only round one. I expect that I'll be knotting your incredibly sexy and incredibly tight ass around eight more times. Of course, if you want to, I'll let you fuck my mouth in between one of those time, just to give you a little break. However, you won't be mounting my rear tonight. We'll save that for a different night," Wolfe told him with a wink. Kage just sighed slightly.
Then he groaned loudly, and braced himself as he felt Wolfe's knot deflate. Wolfe then picked up right where he left off, fucking the umbreon into the night.
LEMON END
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
[POV: Wolfe]
"Whew!" he exclaimed, panting as he collapsed next to Kage. Then he shook himself, got to his feet, and looked at the other umbreon as he struggled to his feet. Kage shook his body slightly.
"Damn, don't you have a limit?" he asked.
Wolfe grinned and shrugged. "Probably not. I just know that if I want to mark you tonight, we need to move rather quickly. The moon needs to be out for me to do so," he explained.
Kage just rolled his shoulders and nodded. "Alright, let's do that right now then. You said that I'll be knocked out?"
Wolfe nodded, before jumping off the bed and padding towards the door, with Kage following close behind. "Yes, you will. But, it'll be a good change of pace for you. I'll take whatever bad thoughts and emotions that you have in yourself tonight, into me. That way, you'll be able to enjoy your sleep."
"Are you sure that that's such a good idea? I don't sleep for a reason, Wolfe. I'm pretty sure that those dark thoughts of mine will affect you rather strongly."
Wolfe didn't respond as they entered the hall and made towards Gabe's room. Once there, he pushed it open, knowing that the gallade was waiting to teleport them outside of the compound. Gabe saw them enter, nodded, and then closed his eyes. Wolfe's surroundings suddenly blinked out of existence, before they came back, though this time he was standing on top of a mountain, under the clear night sky.
He smiled as he saw the moon. "Kage, I guarantee that your emotions won't affect me in the slightest," he finally told the other umbreon, before turning to look at him, face serious. "You see, my emotions are already fucked up. Nothing anyone can do about that. I have a pretty shitty past, something that I think you can understand. That essentially destroyed my emotions. While I can still feel them, they're so convoluted and twisted that it's almost impossible to make sense of them. Hell, even Gabe has a hard time of it, and he's a fucking psychic type. Trust me, my friend. Just throwing in a few more emotions won't matter in the slightest. I'll still be fucked up."
Kage was silent, digesting Wolfe's words. Then he shook himself. "Alright, I'll accept that you know what you're doing. Now, what do I need to do?" he asked.
Wolfe smiled. "I need you to look at the moon for me, and clear your mind. Focus only on the moon."
Kage nodded, and did as instructed, sitting down to look at the moon.
"Alright, now, I want you to keep looking at the moon, but focus on me as well. Just me and the moon. Nothing else."
Kage nodded again.
Wolfe waited for a moment, before sitting in front of the other umbreon. "Alright, now, I'm going to touch you now. Just keep focusing on the moon and me, alright?"
Kage didn't respond, as Wolfe pressed his paw onto the right side of his chest.
"Now breathe, in… and out…"
Kage complied.
He breathed in.
Then he breathed out.
Then he stiffened, before collapsing on his side as Wolfe made the connection. Wolfe removed his paw, and smiled as he saw the red wolf now imprinted on Kage. Then he looked up at the moon, and frowned as he laid his tail over Kage's side.
"Alright Gabe, take us back to my room please," he asked. Then his world momentarily blinked out of existence, before coming back in his room.
"Thanks partner. Now get some sleep," Wolfe ordered. Gabe grunted in agreement, and then disappeared, leaving Wolfe alone with Kage again.
He sighed as he looked down at the curled up umbreon. And another one marked. Oh well, this is the least I can do for the guy. He's been through hell, the least anyone can do is give him a night of peaceful sleep.
He laid down next to slightly smaller umbreon, and curled his body around him. While this did make things warmer for them, the main reason for him doing so was so that Kage got the most out of Wolfe's abilities. Wolfe then rested his head near Kage's, and closed his eyes to concentrate on the emotions coming from the other umbreon.
He felt pain. Lots of pain. As well as sorrow, and misery. He also felt the overwhelming sense of death. Wolfe pulled those emotions into his own body and added them to his own internal turmoil, acting as a buffer for the other male. Wolfe smiled thinly as he felt Kage relax as the bad emotions and memories just vanished from his body.
The best way to hide a pile of trash, is to throw it in a landfill. With so much other garbage around, no one will notice that little bit extra. I suppose I'm just a landfill for emotions and thoughts.
[POV: Tal]
Tal smiled cheerfully as he ran through Haven's streets, with the sun shining brightly overhead. He didn't know why, he was just in a really good mood today. It had been a while since Lura and Wolfe had left, but he was finding that he didn't miss them as much as he thought he would. While that might seem bad to say, it was the truth.
He started to hum happily as he entered Cook's Pub, making good use of some of the poke that Wolfe had given him before he left. He thought it had been rather nice of Wolfe to do that. He definitely wasn't going to complain, as he was given no small amount.
He was gifted a whopping 500,000 poke, with little to no explanation. He guessed that it was his Zero's way of apologizing to him. Whatever the case, Tal was set for the rest of his life, and he knew it.
As he approached the table that the eeveelutions frequented, he noticed a rather sad sight. Sitting at a table in the corner, all by herself, was a very beautiful flareon. What caught his attention, however, were two things. One, the flareon was obviously a new face, which was very unusual in Haven. The second thing, was that she looked so sad. Something had obviously happened to her in her life.
Tal stopped for a moment, studying the flareon as she looked at the table in front of her in pure misery. He felt his heart twist slightly. Then he had a mental debate inside of himself.
Alright, now, what would Zero do? After all, he made everyone happy… Well, I guess I'll give it a try.
He went up to the bar, and motioned for the bartender to deliver a couple meals to where the flareon was sitting. The bartender smiled at him, and nodded, before disappearing through a door leading into the kitchen. Tal nodded once, before bracing himself, and sauntered over to where the flareon was seated, grinning widely.
"So, what's a beautiful pokemon such as yourself doing, looking so sad in a pub?" he asked cheerfully as he got near her.
She jolted out of her stupor and looked at him, surprised. As she looked at him, he noticed that she appeared to start blushing slightly.
"Uhm… what did you call me?" she asked in a heartbreakingly beautiful voice, that Tal could listen to all day.
He winked at her, and said, "I called you beautiful. That's alright, isn't it?"
She blushed, her orange cheeks turning a deep red. "I… I suppose it is. Haven't been called that for a while though…" she said, her voice trailing off.
Tal frowned slightly. "Well, do you mind if I sit with you? After all, it would almost be a sin to have a beautiful pokemon such as yourself looking all alone and sad."
Her blush remained, as she nodded, gesturing for him to join her. He hopped into the seat across from her, and then looked at her with a grin.
"So, what's your name? While I could certainly call you beautiful all the time, I have a feeling that that would get kind of repetitive, now wouldn't it?" he asked.
She smiled slightly. "Well, I don't think I'll ever tire of a good looking 'mon such as yourself calling me beautiful, but if you insist. My name's Aileen," she answered.
Tal let out a happy hum. "Beautiful! Just as I would expect, from one such as yourself!"
She giggled slightly, and he noticed that she wasn't looking as sad as she was earlier. He smiled slightly to himself.
"So, what's your name then, cutie?" she asked.
Tal beamed at her. "Well, my name is Talonko! But, everyone just calls me Tal. You, however, can call me anything that suites you," he told her with a wink, getting another giggle and blush from her.
"Well, I might just take you up on that offer," she told him, winking back at him. They laughed together, and Tal found himself feeling unusually happy.
"So, Aileen, care to tell me what brings such beauty to this humble Haven?" he asked her.
He saw her face fall slightly, and instantly regretted his words. Before he could stop himself, he found himself reaching across the table and putting a paw under her chin, raising her face slightly as she stared at him. He smiled sadly.
"Hey now, chin up, alright? Everything's all fine, you don't need to answer any questions that you don't want to. I apologize for bringing up any bad memories," he told her softly.
She smiled at him, before nodding. He grinned brightly again, and pulled back across the table to his own side. Then she cleared her throat slightly.
"Well, I found my way here after a few years of traveling, when my… family… was killed by the plague. I'm originally from a small village in Norovia, a long ways away from here. It's rather close to Nor, I suppose. That was helpful for a few things, but not… not for the plague. My village was one of the first to succumb completely to it. The only reason that I'm not dead, is that, for whatever reason, I'm immune to the plague. Arceus knows that I wish I wasn't then maybe I would be with them…" she broke off with a sob, as she laid her head on the table.
Tal instantly got to his feet and hopped onto her chair with her, before wrapping a foreleg around her gently. "You're fine, you're ok. Just let it out, alright?" he comforted.
She dumbly nodded as she buried her face in his chest, clutching him and sobbing uncontrollably as he stroked her in a soothing fashion. She continued to cry for a long time, in which time their food arrived, which Tal nodded his thanks at.
Finally, her sobs quieted down, though her body shook every now and then as she cried silently. Still Tal held her, doing his best to comfort her as best as he can. Eventually, she stopped crying altogether, and just clutched him tightly, as though she were afraid that if she let go, he would disappear.
After he had held her for a little while, she slowly eased her head out of his chest, looked at him as he smiled at her, and blushed, before looking away.
"I'm sorry about that…" she started, until Tal cut her off.
"Don't worry about it at all! I didn't mind in the slightest. Besides, it gave me the opportunity to hold a beautiful pokemon! That's always a plus in my book!" he exclaimed, causing her to giggle again.
"Well, thank you, Tal. I appreciate you being here right now. I was… very sad…" she trailed off again.
Tal pulled her against him gently, being careful to see if she was uncomfortable with being so close to him. She appeared to not mind in the slightest, as she actually leaned into him.
"Aileen, I can tell that you are still very sad. Hell, I would be too. But, you don't have to be anymore! You're in a safe place! Filled with plenty of friendly pokemon and humans! In no time at all, you'll find that you like it here, believe me! I mean, you already have one friend, so that should mean something, right?" he asked her cheerfully.
She frowned at him. "I do? Who?" she questioned.
He grinned and winked at her. "Of course you do! And, why me of course!" he said happily.
She stared at him, speechless for a moment. Then she started to smile slightly, before she began to beam at him as she nodded her head enthusiastically. "You know, you're right! I think that I might like it here! It'll definitely give me a chance to forget some things," she said happily.
Tal beamed back. "That's the spirit! Now, what say you that we actually eat this food that I'm paying for, no? Looks tasty!" he exclaimed.
She giggled, and nodded in agreement.
As they began to eat, Tal just had one more thought, a silent thanks.
Thank you, Wolfe, for being a guide of sorts.
