Vilja Chapter 12
Draumr - Dream
A string of muddled memories seeped into her mind's eye. Pops of screams in her ears and wet thuds of rock against her skull. The sensations made her stop and catch herself, hugging her torso tight with her own arms multiple times.
Dealing with a mind that was on high alert, aware of every sound and movement around her had been exhausting. Even more so than the sudden memories popping in and out of her mind.
A familiar shadow was a constant however. Her pillar of strength there each time, by her side. Katsuki embodied himself into her recovery. Changing her wound dressings and licking her wounds with their restorative bonds.
Each morning he helped her broken body down to the river's banks and cleaned her. Fulfilling his Alpha role naturally. Where once there was hostility, now was her everlasting comfort. The anxiety from her omega deep within melted away with his touch. He brought a calming force to her life that had never existed before.
"I can do it this morning," She said, looking up at him. "On my own"
"Is that a command?"
"No Alpha, it's the truth of it" She said, picking up her dress from the mud below. "I have to regain my strength, and I can't do that if you carry me everywhere"
Straightening back up, his hand waved her off ahead of him.
Taking her first few steps unaided was a thrill and sense of accomplishment. Though her Alpha was right behind her, ready, as always to catch her.
Three days and her swelling had improved significantly. When she woke from her unconscious state her injuries were at their worst. It was painful to keep her eyes open as one had completely shut due to the pressure from the swelling. The thudding ache in her head was possibly the most draining aspect. She hardly slept that night. Wriggling and whimpering in pain.
Day by day the swelling reduced along with the pain. Today marked the first day she felt an ease wash through her battered skull. The throb was still present, but her thoughts were more linear as her mind had space to complete more complex tasks. She had more control of her body again, truly on the mend now she wanted her independence back.
Sensing her thought patterns and swell of relief, he spoke behind her. "How did ya recover so fast little Omega? Those hol-sár would have killed any other man here"
"I don't know, maybe if I could remember exactly what happened I could.."
"Yar heili has sheltered you from that day for a reason, ya shouldn't be messin' with yar memories"
"But I want to know what happened to me, and why I'm healing so quickly"
"Tch." Katsuki scoffed behind her, his footsteps heavy. "It's our bond." His voice filled with arrogance.
It was true, they had both seen an increase in healing abilities since he bit her. An unexplained increase, like magic. But a head injury? A violent, debilitating one that not many survive from, let alone were able to speak and walk after.
"Maybe" She murmured.
"Odin favours ya little Omega, let that be enough"
"Odin, the God of war?" She asked, stopping as the large Viking passed her. "I can't imagine what he would want with me"
His sculpted naked torso drew her eyes to him as he stopped just before the water. Without a second thought to who was around he dropped his pants. That delicious, tight ass gleaming white in the morning light. "He is much more than that my little kitten"
"Oh?" She barely managed to utter, slowly taking her fur coat that was draped around her shoulders. Her body pulsing at the sight of him. It never got old, eyes wandering all over his perfect form. Scars and all
"Ya need to learn about the Gods if yar goin' to be Norse"
"I'll learn the Norse Gods, when you are at least writing English at a noble child's level" She said, smirking.
Swinging to meet her gaze, his face harsh with disapproval. The very same look he projected onto his pack when they displeased him. "Cheeky lil shit". But Gods, was he still the most stunning thing she had ever laid eyes on. "My skills are directly linked t'yar abilities to teach!"
In a few steps, he had his arms around her, throwing her up onto his shoulder. "Time t'clean that impudence from ya"
"Katsuki!" Her lungs, empty of air as his shoulder pressed into her sternum, struggled to get her words out. "So much for worrying about my injuries… Wait?"
The large, rigid steps of her Alpha thudding her whole body. "Impudence? So you have been studying" She giggled.
"Ya diggin' yarself in deeper, little Ochako"
Before she could open her insolent mouth, he entered the freezing cold water.
"Katsuki! I'm still clothed!"
Along with his grip tightening, she felt his tall built frame dipping into the water. "No! Katsuki, I'll freeze!"
It was futile, she was going into the cold water, clothes and all.
"Ya'll mind t'be more respectful t'yar Alpha" His vice barely registering as her body was submerged into the harsh water. "Learn t'use that mouth far other things. Hm?"
Even through her yelps and hisses, at the breathless change in temperature around her, the soft rumbling in his throat pierced through and connected her back to him. Submerged now and teeth chattering, he twisted her body around to face him. Her body happily clinging to him for warmth as the skirt of her dress raised to her waist. Even in the icy water, he was warm. He was always warm.
"You Norse are crazy" She said through trembling breaths.
"Such a weak little thing, ya can't even take this?" A firm hand was placed on the small of her back, pushing her body closer to him. "We need t'toughen ya up"
Dropping her head into the nape of his neck, feverishly she began licking at his scent gland. An explosion of purring radiated from her, her mind absorbing the stimulating taste and smells coming from her Alpha. "I can think of at least three other things I'd rather be doing that would toughen me up" She purposeful in rolling her hips over his hardening cock.
Intentions made perfectly clear, the large viking growled at the proposition.
"Mmmm, poor little omega" Both hands landed on her bear ass, squeezing before slipping further over the mound of her flesh. His fingers searching for the prized spot between her legs. "Almost a week without yar Alpha's touch. His strjúka"
Breathing became staggered and sharp, like there wasn't enough air to fill her lungs. "Yes, please" She said. "I want my Alpha, I've missed him dearly"
They way his groan began at the back of his throat and radiated through their flesh and into her core, instantly she knew he had missed his little Omega just as much.
"So Þurftugr"
She climbed further into his lap, needing more of him. "Já, so needy my Alpha. I need you "
Fingers outstretched over her ass, he stroked down and alongside her folds, purposefully missing her sensitive flesh in some kind of sick torture. Hadn't she been through enough? But the pressure from his touch sent blood to the area nethertheless.
"Please"
"Please what?"
Please my Alpha. I need you so bad" cooing, the words honeyed by her desire. "Please, touch me"
Unnaturally low, his voice rumbled against her lips as his own teased and pressed against her. "Where do ya want me to strjúka ya little kitten?" He said. "Here?"
One finger slipped against her silky slit. Whimpers rushed from her, embarrassingly shaking from the scraps he was throwing her.
"Fuck, little kitten. Even through the water I can feel how wet ya'r. Mjök vátr"
"So wet Alpha, just for you. Only you"
"Good girl, little kitten, all mine. Minn!"
Painful pleasure shot into her as his praise entered her mind. Hearing how good she was for him only encouraged her grating and rolling. The large bulge turned into a thick shaft in a matter of moments.
"Yes Alpha, all yours. Am I good little Omega?"
"Já, I can't wait t'hear ya ýla for me again" He said. "I love hearin ya scream"
"I will Alpha, I promise. I will scream so loud for you. Please fuck me"
"Not yet my lítit Omega. Yar still too wounded"
Mewing in frustration, she buried her head into his neck again. Licking and nibbling at the origin of his musky pheromones. "Please Alpha"
Katsuki's sudden veer of his face shocked her from her lustful coma. His growling and her heightened sense of smell alerting her it was only a pack member.
"What do ya want, Vesall?"
Voice faltering, but gaining back momentum. "Alpha, there is a messenger from the Saxon borg!" The Beta pack member said. "They did it! Hernaðr!"
Katsuki returned his face to his Omega's. his lips lightly brushing hers. "Odin continues to show us happ!" He said, nipping at her bottom lip with his sharp teeth.
Odin? Again. Her mind wandered over the vivid dreams she experienced before she awoke. While her Alpha dealt with the Beta behind them, she tried to organise her thoughts. Why was the God's name being brought up so frequently.
Katsuki's sharp voice cut her away from her thoughts. "Gather the rest, I won't be long" He ordered.
"Sjá Alpha!" Vesall said from behind them.
"And Vesall…" Tension exploded into the air as their Alpha spoke.
"Já my Alpha"
"Don't fucking interrupt while I am with my Omega ever endr, do ya sjá?"
Vesall dropped his head further. "Já my Alpha, I sjá. It will never happen endr, Alpha," Scuttling was all that she heard, as the Beta retreated to their small camp. Leaving Katsuki to his main objective.
"Katsuki"
"Don't ya interrupt me too Omega, my patience wears thin"
"I have to tell you something"
His face was buried in her neck. "Can't it wait Ochako?"
Ochako. He only used that name when he was serious.
"It's about a dream I had" She said as his teeth pressed into her sensitive skin. Rupturing the oils from her gland. Her scent filling the air sent her into a spin. "It's about…" His teeth sunk deeper, drawing blood.
Fuck.
"About"
Growling boomed from deep inside her Alpha. His cock hard and thick again, pressing against her thighs. Her body reacted to his call, shivering and grating against him. guiding his shaft between her wet folds as she rocked over it.
"About a… a wolf"
His mouth had already left her scent gland, hand wrapped around her forearm. Squeezing.
"A wolf? Tell me! Stjórna!"
His intense stare and vitality encompassing her. Making the words hard to get out. "It was a blonde wolf, with red eyes. Katsuki, like yours"
The vice grip on her arm was eased. "When?"
"Before I woke up"
"Why didn't ya told me sooner?"
"I just thought it was a dream, Katsuki, what does it mean?"
"Nothing"
Lies.
"Nothing? Why did you..." His face dipped and lips pressed against hers. Silencing her. Immediately, his starved tongue invaded her wet mouth. massaging and searching for her. Even though the realisation that he was trying to silence her became clear. His fevered kisses still lit an animalistic part of her. Pulsating from her core and begging her to shit her mouth and give into him.
"Katsuki" She whimpered against his lips.
"I'm goin' to taste that delectable pussy, my little kitten. And ya'r goin' t'let me"
"Don't distract me with big words and…"
Hitting her like a shock, two digits entered her, slipping inside her swollen core with ease. Pushing and massaging deliciously against her walls.
"Alpha" Rising up through her throat. Her Omega took hold. "Please"
"Good girl, I want t'fell you strangle my fingers with yar cunt" He said, picking her up out of the water.
Since she had awoken this morning, her hunger had been insatiable. He watched as she drove another mouth full passed her lips. Two of his pack had hunted down a large red furred buck. They had begun drying out and smoking the valuable meat, but some was still fresh. His petite little kitten was tearing into her meat, teeth snarling as she did. He felt his cock twinge at the site of her gluttony. Such a needy little Omega.
His gaze finally broke from her, looking toward the Alpha, the youngest in the pack, who had accompanied the messenger back to their camp. Bringing the news that Eijiro and the pack had claimed the Saxon hold, just as he had commanded. The Young Norse warrior was also shovelling food into his mouth. Most likely the Alpha had not eaten for days. Making sure the messenger got back to Katsuki.
The pot of slow cooked venison was nearing empty. His pack licking fingers and rubbing full, bloated belly's.
Demanding their attention he spoke. "Was the information we received réttr? Were the stores full?"
Betas around him sat up straight, giving him their full focus. The Alpha, young and blonde swallowed the food in his mouth, then slyly cleared his throat. Making sure not to stare directly into the crimson red eyes.
"Their stores were full Alpha, silver, gold and fjölð of weapons and armory," He said.
"The informant auka our expectations. He will be rewarded"
"Yes Alpha" The young Alpha bowed. "Forgive me for bein' djarfr Alpha. But, with the full armory, do we still need to take the Uraraka estate?"
Immediately his hackles were raised. Igniting his rage. The insolence of his pack, of his subordinate Alphas no less, made him violent with displeasure.
"The Uraraka Estate?" A voice was heard beside him.
His face spun meeting her gaze, eyes were alight with the fire, making her amber eyes dance in the flames light. The indignation fell deeper into a pit of fury. Why did his Alpha think they could question his authority and make his life harder than it needed to be?
The boundless guttural roar that came from within him shook the ground beneath them. Even he was shocked by its might. "Do ya wish t'make me furious, pup? Or is it yar wish t'die a allharðr death?"
His smaller subordinate dropped to his knees, cowering and lowering his face to the ground. "Forgive me Alpha, I'm flutningr, I didn't mean t'disobey ya'
"Don't question me again pup, or I'll remove that pretty little head from yar neck, do ya understand me?"
He didn't even realise he had stood up. Even his body was sick of the defiance. Towering over his lesser Alpha, asserting himself and regaining his domain as his packs eyes and faces dropped in submission, finally his muscles released the tension.
He felt Ochako shiver behind him, her emotions entering his mind like a poison. Was she enjoying it?
"Já my Alpha"
Crouching his sizable, but still developing body was second nature. An Alpha had to know how to hunt for his pack. Provide shelter, protection and food. Without these skills he would be nothing, and his future pack would not follow or respect him.
Katsuki's eyes reacted to the tiniest of movements, He sniffed silently into the air, downwind, perfect. He watched as the doe came out into the small clearing. Ever watchful of its surroundings, completely aware that at any moment, it might be attacked and killed. He would need to be as still as the landscape around him.
Slowing his breathing, he raised his bow, pulling back the deadly weapon, he levelled it at his eye.
Readying his shot. He would get one chance, his raun would prove his skills. It was his only chance to get the doe in the heart, and to prove he was the worthy Alpha to lead the pack.
Snapping of a branch behind him informed the prey of a potential threat. The doe was gone before he could even blink. Swinging his gaze around, to try and find what had caused his target to flee. He was met with a set of black eyes. Cold and dead.
The paralysis lasted until the beast's mouth opened and a growl exploded from the bear. Like he had been woken from a dream, his body instinctively began backing up. His arrow now aimed right at the gigantic brown bear's right eye. It would take multiple shots to kill it, if at all. But one placed in the perfect spot could buy him time.
A red glow, faint but enough to distract them both, was followed swiftly by the crashing of branches and the pounding sound of something huge.
Barrelling through the trees a large black bear, drenched in a red glow, came lunging for the smaller brown bear. Tackling it to the ground as its huge jaws sunk into the brown, meaty neck of it's opponent.
Allr för einn . He only dared scream it inside his own head.
All Katsuki could do was try and follow along with his arrow, aiming for the smaller brown bear. An impossible task as the two massive beasts fought. His rescuer having the obvious upper hand, as a proud warrior of Odin.
A berserkr.
It was the bustling of the hold that unnerved her. More so that the dead bodies did. The hræ, strung up around the entrance. Maybe her own feelings toward the violence unnerved her the most. Cold and aloof. Her eyes glazed over the scene as their horse clopped through the barrier of the strongholds main gate.
After the messenger and the small blonde alpha had told them the news and spilled the plan to take the Uraraka estate, their Alpha had ordered them all to prepare to leave before the end of the moon's cycle. New moon, ten days after they learnt the news, they made their way to the Saxon borg. Her head wounds, in spite of everyone's surprise, had all but healed.
She had been angry at her Alpha, for not telling her of his plan to take her family's whole ten days she held onto her frustration and hurt caused by her Alpha. Though she felt less connection to her old life as days went by, and as her bond with Katsuki gained traction. She still did not want a band of vikings to slay her family, and string them up like an ornament.
"I will not let anyone harm yar family little Omega. I need ya'r fathers skills. He will láta. He knows our way"
Katsuki's deep voice rang in her ears. She wanted to believe him, but once her father saw her, all but swollen with her Alpha's pups, he wouldn't yield. He wouldn't, his pride and position wouldn't allow him to.
Even more frustrating than trying to make her Alpha understand her family and their motives, was the fact that he refused to tell her why. Why he needed her father, why they needed to take Steborne, the Uraraka Estate.
"I'm your Omega Katsuki, don't you trust me?"
"Leave it alone Ochako, Stjórna!"
Commanding her to silence, her Omega would not allow her to ask any further questions. Her Alpha's word absolute.
She then decided she would not open her mouth for anything else the entire ride to Termarth. The strong hold Katsuki's pack had taken, by murderous force.
Still, she was not completely a Norse woman. She still held onto the pleasantries and forced social expectations of her youth. The vikings, they only valued the inspirational, fury and ecstasy of battle and love. Manners, laws and modesty were as foreign to them as the English language was.
Wasn't that why she decided to join them? Wasn't she sick of the heavy, ensnared life of a Saxon Omega.
Was her refusal to either be Saxon or Norse why Katsuki didn't trust her?
Even through all the buzzing of the pack, welcoming their Alpha back to the fold, they retired to the lords quarters quickly. He seemed desperate to get her alone. But she was determined to keep her vow of silence. No matter what he did.
The click of the door behind him made her jump. Anticipation has sneaked into her temperament, making her shake. Though his back was facing her. She knew, he could feel her. He knew his effect on her.
Removing his shirt with one hand and unarming himself with the other, he slowly turned. His gaze burning into her. His red eyes drenched in gluttony. Her eyes involuntarily searched his battle worn torso, white and pink scars adorned his breathtaking body. Heat radiated throughout her whole body.
Stay strong. Don't falter.
Stalking around the room, he moved like the beat of a drum, picking up pace as she spun in one spot.
"Come kitten"
Squeezing her eyes shut in disobedience, she felt her heart try and escape through her throat. The thrill of saying no to him got stronger with each passing moment, until he growled, then she was set alight.
"Look at me Ochako" A menacing voice boomed. "Look at yar Alpha"
"You don't trust me" She squeaked past his command.
A short sharp huff was snorted from his face, she felt the air rush past her as his annoyance hung heavy in the air. "I trúa ya, more than I have anyone else" He said. "I let ya in!"
Eyes still clenched shut, she bit hard down on her own jaw to stop the whimpering that wanted to break free and melt into his ears.
"Then why didn't you tell me about my family's estate?"
"Yar wouldn't understand"
"Why not?" She yelled.
An overpowering feeling washed over her senses, his frustration with her had reached its limit. Forcefully he grabbed her wrists in each hand.
"Because yar still a Saxon bitch!"
Her eyes flung open and she growled at him, despite the pleas from her Omega, deep inside to stop and yield. But she too had reached her limit. She had given everything. Why couldn't he see that?
"I am not! I'm yours Alpha" She hissed. "When will you see that?"
Her frustration and hurt now morphed into savagery to rival his. Reflecting her feelings through their bond and her eyes.
Face never faltering, his glare only intensified while a snarl developed on his lips. "Don't fuckin' look at me like that!" He growled..
Digging in deep, determination consuming her very soul. "I will not give you hlýðni"
"Stjórna! Fuck! Yar will obey me!"
"No!"
Launching her onto the bed with one arm, her body bounced traitorously as she tried quickly to get a footing. It was too late. His presence, on its own, would have pinned her to that soft, fluffy mattress. But his impossibly built body's weight pressed into her as he held her wrists down, it only solidified that she wouldn't escape him.
"Why are yar bein' such a defiant little bikkja?"
"Because you are being a terrible Alpha!"
"Watch it little Omega, I'm this close t'losin" it!" He said, clenching his grip on her tighter.
Trying hard to contain them, her lip wavered. Quivering as she spoke. "I'm not a Saxon anymore! I don't care about going back to them, I just want to know why? Don't I deserve at least that?" She said, unable to stop the tears falling. "Haven't I given you enough?"
His eyes widened as her words, and she gathered, her inner feelings hit him.
"I've given you everything Katsuki. Why won't you trust me?"
Eyes softening along with the tension held in his jaw. "I do trust yar" He all but whispered.
"Then tell me why you need my father and our family estate, the weapons, when you have all you need here?"
Frustration returned to his face and he snorted in fury. At himself this time, at his reluctance? Or his feelings for her? She couldn't read his manic thoughts as well as she usually could.
"Vǫlva"
Witch? Her mind raced, what could that have to do with her family?
"A witch?"
He merely shook his head.
"Seeress, and her premonition"
