Hello again my fellow readers!
Sadly Lenora wasn't impressed with the way Smaug was courting her, so he's going to try to seduce her more. In this chapter she warms up to him a little bit. However the two will be having their spats soon. Enjoy and have a good weekend!
Also my niece was born yesterday ^^

A few days passed since Lenora's capture by Smaug. The fire drake continued to try and win her affections and each time he did so, she rejected his advances. At first her rejections would amuse him, but after the fifth day he began to get annoyed. Lenora usually kept her distance from the fire drake unless he wanted her company. She continued to apply the herb paste to other shedding spots on his body besides the area behind his neck. Smaug enjoyed this routine when his Khaleesi would put the herb mixture on the itchy scales. Other than that the dragon and she-wolf kept their distance. Finally after seven days of Lenora coming to live with him, Smaug had an idea. The first night of the new moon was within a week's time and he decided it was time for Lenora to experience the joys of being one with the sky, plus he had to hunt. Normally he ate at least every two weeks, but Lenora wouldn't last that long so he needed to find food for them both.

When Smaug woke in the early afternoon on the eighth day his stomach rumbled and he growled. He definitely needed to hunt today, but first he would find his Khaleesi. The dragon shook his body free of the many gold coins that surrounded him as he rose. He sniffed the air and found Lenora's scent towards the entrance of the mountain. Smaug then began to walk forward using his claws, the ground shook beneath him as he headed towards the entrance. Sunlight filled his golden eyes as he emerged and he turned to his left to see Lenora waving around a spear. He opened his mouth in a smirk when he realized what she was doing. His Khaleesi was training and he remained silent as she swung the dwarf like spear around as though it were a child's toy. Today she wore a black top similar to the grey one she wore when they met. Her hair was in a braid and she wore grey trousers, and black boots.

"Training I see Khaleesi" Smaug greeted to his mate-to-be. Lenora jumped in the air a few feet and by him scaring her she dropped the spear.

"Don't do that!" Lenora snapped at him. "I could have hurt myself"

"I wouldn't allow you to be harmed" Smaug purred and he bent his head down to see if she had in fact hurt herself. His golden eyes traveled her body and saw no cuts or bruises. It was a beautiful day and the sun reflected off of Smaug's garnet scales, the sky a crystal clear blue. Smaug then bent down to the ground and he said to Lenora.

"It is time you learned to be with the sky"

"You want me to ride on your back? I thought you didn't like to be used as a horse" Lenora said surprised at this suggestion. Smaug had told her one day during one of his shedding episodes he didn't like being ridden at all. When he was compared to a horse one time when a dwarf found his way onto his back during the raid on Erebor, it got Lenora to laugh. Smaug noticed the she-wolf was wearing a small smirk and he felt his temper rise a little.

"Watch your tongue female you know that I have a temper just like yours" Smaug warned her.

"Very well" Lenora said finally agreeing. The temperature was warm so Lenora wouldn't need her cloak; she placed the spear down and walked over to the fire drake. Smaug bent his left wing down and Lenora used it as a platform to get onto his back. Smaug felt her grip onto one of his neck spikes, as well as putting both of her legs against his sides like one did a horse.

"In time you will learn to enjoy the feel of flight" Smaug began as he got up and walked towards a spot where he liked to fly off of. "I know you desire to feel the wind beneath you"

"You are right I do want to be one with the air" Lenora agreed with the dragon for once. This pleased him he had no doubt she would learn to crave the wind under her wings once her transformation happened.

"Are my scales hurting you?" Smaug asked snaking his head to face Lenora.

"No" Lenora answered truthfully and Smaug felt she was being honest.

"Very well I suggest you hold on" Smaug warned her before he opened his huge wings and he leapt off of the edge of the mountain. Lenora actually screamed when Smaug first took flight, and she heard the dragon chuckle.

"Do not tease me Smaug!" Lenora yelled over the wind as he flapped his wings every few minutes.

"I am not teasing you Khaleesi" Smaug replied back to her and Lenora cursed when Smaug called her by her supposed nickname. He then turned into a nosedive and Lenora pressed her legs harder into Smaug's sides as well as gripping his neck spike tighter. The fire drake then did an upside down move and Lenora called the dragon many rude names that amused him. Due to the wind her braid became loose and when Smaug returned to the right position, her hair was all over the place.

"That was not funny Smaug I could have bloody fallen off!" Lenora scolded.

"I wouldn't let my Khaleesi fall" Smaug teased back.

"I wish you would quit calling me that" Lenora added feeling her face turn red.

"I shall never tire of calling my mate such a beautiful name" Smaug answered and Lenora face palmed, it would appear Smaug's courting would never stop. And worse she sort of was starting to like it, even though she wouldn't give the fire drake satisfaction of knowing it. She released said thoughts of the subject and looked around as Smaug began heading in the direction south of Laketown. Smaug had been right she was enjoying being one with the air; the earth beneath her seemed to be small. With each flap of his wings Lenora imagined it was herself flying and not him.

"How are you faring?"Smaug asked even though he couldn't look at her.

"You were right I am enjoying this" she confessed.

"I am pleased to hear you say that I will teach you everything there is to know about flight and much more" Smaug added and he then began to make his descent towards the ground. "I am need of meat and I am sure your meat from the buck is low"

"You seem to have read my mind" Lenora joked and Smaug's golden eyes widened a little. The she-wolf was joking with him for once. The fire drake then began to flap his wings in several short spurts so his landing would be comfortable for his passenger. Just as his take off had been, the dragon landed onto the earth his claws touching first before his back legs followed.

"Perhaps we could enjoy a hunt together?" Smaug asked looking to Lenora. Lenora turned to the fire drake with her eyes widened.

"You trust me to hunt with you?" she asked out in surprise. Smaug only moved his head towards her and much to her dismay he licked her face in affection. Taking that as a yes Lenora growled at him to pull his head back so she could phase. The fire drake obeyed and he watched in awe as her human form began to smoke black and then a huge black wolf stood in Lenora's place. Smaug thought she was beautiful the way her fur shined against the sunlight, like he prided taking care of his scales she seemed to do the same with her fur. Lenora turned her head towards the dragon.

Follow me she ordered. She seemed to communicate through the mind and by the way her tone was he shouldn't disobey. He began to follow her through the trees and he watched as she would on occasion sniff the forest floor for any signs of prey. The two came upon a small stream when Lenora finally spoke.

There is a herd of deer close by and from what I can smell a stag is too sick to move he would be a good choice to kill Lenora explained to Smaug.

"Can you tell how big he might be?" the fire drake questioned.

Perhaps bigger than the one you killed from before Lenora answered him. She then turned to the dragon.

They will see you sure as death I shall sneak upon the herd and once the stag is separated you may do as you wish

"Very well" Smaug agreed and Lenora turned turning into stealth mode. The black wolf quietly walked on the forest floor without much incident the occasional rabbit or squirrel would flee at the sight of her.

A sunlit meadow came into sight filled with flowers and what not and there Lenora found the deer herd. One young stag stood guard amongst the many females and fawns. The stag she sensed was sick was lying underneath a tree not far from the herd. He was an old buck she could tell by the many scars he wore on his body and the way his antlers were designed. Lenora then began to head into the direction of the does and their offspring. The old buck suddenly got up and he looked around alert. The other deer did this too looking around for her. The old buck then hollered out and the herd began broke into a run. The younger stag looked to the older one and the older buck stomped his feet against the earth, the younger stag understood this as an order to flee and he began to run after his females. The buck then turned into Lenora's direction and the she-wolf leapt into the air and landed on the ground on her all fours. The buck bent his head down ready to fight; it appeared he still had strength to fight.

He then charged forward and Lenora side stepped to avoid getting impaled by his antlers. She quickly threw her head back into the air and let out a howl, then after pulling her head back down and she charged. She jumped onto the buck's back and she dug her claws into its tough hide. Her fangs bit hard into the buck's neck but the stag was trying to swing her off. Then she felt the earth shake and she heard Smaug roaring. The dragon made his way into the meadow clearing, his golden eyes locked onto the buck. Lenora saw the dragon's middle suddenly glow orange and she knew she had to get off of the buck. She used the last of her strength to slam the buck down onto the ground and she bit hard into its windpipe.

She felt the bones snap and she quickly got off of the deer's back as Smaug unleashed a small stream of orange fire. The stag yelled as the flames engulfed him and Lenora could smell the deer's hide beginning to cook. The smell made her open her mouth in hunger. Smaug then slammed his huge fangs into the bucks back and he used both of his claws to break the other bones in the deer's body. Lenora winced as she heard the sound of bones breaking, finally the stag became limp in Smaug's jaws and the fire drake released his hold of the deer. He looked to Lenora and she nodded. She walked forward and she opened her mouth and her sharp fangs ripped into the buck's tough hide.

Hot blood from the deer entered into her mouth as she began to pull away strips of meat. She ate greedily at the meat savoring its flavor thanks to Smaug's flames. She ate at least the first mere half of the deer before her stomach told her it had enough. Lenora then reverted to her human form and she said to Smaug.

"Your turn" she flashed him a smirk and he returned the favor before ripping into the rest of the deer. Lenora cursed as a spray of the deer's blood came upon her clothes and she glared at the dragon in a not so pleased manner. Smaug flashed her an apologetic look before he returned to his meal. He didn't mean to ruin her clothes. Lenora only rolled her eyes and she turned away to admire the scenery as Smaug continued to devour the rest of the buck. When the dragon roared out in what seemed to be a burp Lenora laughed.

"Excuse you O'Smaug who is lacking of manners" she teased. Smaug only smirked at her teasing pleased he made her laugh. He licked the stag's blood away from his lips before he snaked his huge head towards her.

"You have blood on you Khaleesi" his black tongue then came out and began to lick away the deer's life liquid from her arms, neck, shoulders, and her face. When his tongue traveled to her lips she remained still. For some reason she liked the way his tongue licked away the blood from her lips. Then Smaug bent back down and Lenora headed over to him. She climbed onto his back the same way she did earlier and she got into her riding position before Smaug took flight. Both she-wolf and dragon simply enjoyed the flight back to the Lonely Mountain not speaking a word.

"Gods I smell like blood" Lenora growled when she finally got off of the dragons back. Smaug had walked with her on his back until they reached the treasure room.

"You did well on our hunt today" Smaug complimented as the she-wolf turned to him.

"You did as well" Smaug then snaked his head so he was in front of her. Lenora suddenly held her hand out and touched Smaug's scaly snout. Her eyes widened to feel how smooth his scales were underneath her.

"Does my touch bother you?" she asked.

"No it does not Khaleesi" for the first time Smaug didn't hear her protest. Lenora's eyes wandered over his scaly chest golden scales looking back at her. Her eyes widened when she saw a small puncture wound on the left side of his breast. Smaug was low enough for her to walk over and she lightly pressed her fingers over the scar.

"Who hurt you?" she demanded surprised the way her voice spoke.

"It was a long time ago Lenora don't fret about my scar" Smaug reassured his mate-to-be. Lenora decided to trust his word, but the scar angered her a little. She then turned around and left the treasure chamber. Smaug only looked after her and he no doubt she would be bathing shortly. A smirk came upon his scaly lips as a new thought came to his head. After Lenora left Smaug she returned to her bedchamber and gathered the necessary supplies for a bath. She had found a ruined dark blue cloak and she had used that as towel from when she bathed earlier.

She then made her way from her quarters and headed to the lake room. The lighting in the lake room depended on what time of day how it was always well lit all the time she had no idea. When she came upon the lake's edge she looked around before she began to remove her clothes. She would have to wash them later; she then got into the lake water. It was always cold at first but then it warmed up. Lenora washed her skin first before moving on to her hair. She was unaware that golden eyes watched her.

After twenty minutes she came out of the water soaking wet. Water dripped onto the stone floor as she pulled the towel around her body. She then grabbed a brush and began to comb the damn tangles out of her hair that annoyed her. Lenora then suddenly froze; she felt she was no longer alone. Snarling she grabbed Jura which she brought with her and held the blade out so it's point was against a man's throat.
"Who the hell are you?!" Lenora demanded at the human in front of her. He looked no older than her, his hair was short and it was shoulder length. His hair was black and it suited him well. "Do you know what beast resides here human?!"

The human male wore a black robe which was opened slightly at the top to reveal well built flesh. He wore red pants, a golden belt around the waist.

"Surely you don't intend to kill me Khaleesi?" the human teased her.

"Don't toy with me wait" Lenora didn't hear him say Khaleesi. She dropped Jura when she saw Smaug's golden dragon eyes look back at her.

"You can change into a human form?!" she demanded not believing her eyes.

"Indeed a form which I rather not use much but in your presence it can be used to my advantage" Smaug purred and he came up to Lenora. As he did so, Lenora felt her face turn red. Now she wished she wasn't nude, with only a towel wrapped around her. Smaug wrapped one arm around her waist bringing her up against his chest. Then without warning Smaug claimed her lips with his human ones.

The she-wolf was shocked at both this and the fact Smaug was now in fact kissing her. Her body seemed to light like a flame because her claws came out and they grasped onto Smaug's robe pulling him closer to her. She felt her inner wolf want more and she closed her eyes and responded back into Smaug's kiss. Smaug smirked at the way his Khaleesi was responding; his tongue gently licked the bottom of her lips. But Lenora growled warning him to not push it. Then Smaug sensed something that alarmed him. He released his lips from Lenora's just as her body suddenly felt limp into his arms. He sniffed her skin and cursed.

He was afraid of this. Her dragon half had finally woke up and worse the hidden fire within Lenora was making her sick. Her dragon half wasn't supposed to wake up until the night of the first new moon, his kiss must have awoken the other beast within. With her wolf half still active overheating could prove fatal if not treated right away. He felt Lenora's forehead which was covered in sweat due to the fierce heat from Lenora's dragon side awakening. Not caring if he was clothed he hurried over into the lake. He held Lenora close to his chest; he had to cool her off before her body would overheat. He would need to put her under a sleeping spell until the day of the first new moon. If she was allowed to continue to overheat at the rate she was going, she could die.

"What's happening?" Lenora asked weakly.

"I will explain everything later Khaleesi for now rest"

Lenora decided to trust him and she felt her eyes become heavy of sleep. As she closed them Smaug continued to hold her in his arms in the water until he sensed her body was beginning to cool off. He then uttered a spell in the language of dragons and Lenora fell even more lifeless into his grasp. She was now asleep and would not awaken until the day of the new moon.

"Sleep my Khaleesi" he whispered into her ear before he came out of the water and headed out of the lake room towards her bedchamber clutching his mate-to-be tightly in his arms.

So I always pictured Smaug in human form looking like Murtagh from Eragon. His human form would be portrayed Garrett Hedlund. Lenora also won't die her body is just not acting well since her dragon half finally woke up.
