From the moment our group arrived at the motel, a palpable unease took hold of me. The air felt charged with an ominous energy, sending shivers down my spine. Lydia and I exchanged wary glances, rooted to the spot, hesitant to move forward into the welcoming arms of the building's eerie shadows. Ethan, however, seemed unaffected by the unsettling atmosphere, his anticipation to be alone together in the motel room overshadowing any trepidation. The prospect was enticing, yet it was Stiles' visible frustration and concern that truly spurred me on, feeding a guilty pleasure in his apparent jealousy.
As the whispers swirled around me, each word felt like a claw, scraping against the very essence of my being, pulling me deeper into an abyss I feared I could never escape. They promised power, whispered of dark desires I dared not admit I harboured, yet the thought of succumbing filled me with a terror that was intense. It was a battle of wills within the confines of my mind, where every refusal to heed their call drained me of my strength, leaving me feeling isolated in a sea of voices that only I could hear. Amidst this turmoil, Stiles' concern and the undercurrent of jealousy that seemed to emanate from him added layers to my internal conflict. Knowing he cared, yet sensing his envy out of dislike for Ethan, stirred a tumultuous mix of emotions within me—guilt for relishing in his jealousy, frustration at our unspoken tensions, and a desperate longing for a connection that went beyond mere friendship. It was a maelstroms dance of conflicting feelings, where the fear of losing myself to the shadows was matched only by the fear of losing the fragile bond I shared with Stiles, a bond that, in its complexity, offered a glimmer of light in the enveloping darkness.
The motel reeked of neglect, its walls whispering tales of despair as the stale air clung to my skin, heavy with the scent of mold and decay. Dimly lit corridors flickered under the weight of failing lights, casting long, twisting shadows that seemed to slither and coil with a life of their own. Each step was met with the crunch of aged carpet, damp and muffled, while the distant sound of dripping water played a haunting melody, punctuating the silence with echoes of desolation. The room itself was suffocating, whispers slithering across my skin like ethereal tongues, each one seeding dark thoughts and commands I struggled to ignore. Ethan, seemingly immune, retreated to the shower, leaving me to fend off the increasing pull of the shadows' will. The atmosphere drove me outside, as I ventured, the oppressive claustrophobia of the interior gave way to the deceptive calm of the night. The moon, a pale witness hanging low in the sky, bathed the broken vending machine and abandoned cars in a silver glow, creating a landscape that was both serene and surreal. Yet, even under the open expanse of the starlit sky, the air remained thick with an unnameable tension, the shadows stretching across the ground reaching out as if to ensnare me, blurring the line between safety and the unseen dangers lurking in the motel's embrace. Wandering aimlessly until I found myself fixated on the broken vending machine, a clear sign of Stiles' recent presence. His essence was my anchor, yet in that moment, I felt it slipping away, along with my grip on myself.
Ethan's call momentarily cut through the fog in my mind, pulling me back to a semblance of reality. Shoving my hands into my pockets, I nervously scanned the empty hall for signs of Ethan. A shiver raced down my spine, the unnerving feeling that I wasn't alone. The hairs on the back of my neck stood on end. I half-expected to see the ghostly spectre of a previous tenant.
A door creaked open down the hall. Ethan appeared, his red hair glowing in the dim light. He leaned against the doorframe, hands stuffed into his pockets, like he wanted to hide something. The familiar hunger stirred in his gaze, growing more and more intense.
"Hey, are you okay?" I asked, as we made our way toward each other. I had to admit, Ethan's confidence was a significant turn-on, especially since I couldn't stop thinking about our impending first time together.
Ethan shrugged, letting his eyes wander up and down my body.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little something I wanted to take care of real quick."
My gaze narrowed; suspicion etched on my brow. "What do you mean? Is everything alright?"
"I'm fine, I swear." Ethan reassured me. "Just a little... personal matter. I'll be back in a flash."
My curiosity got the better of me. "Alright, I trust you. Just don't be too long, okay?" I called after Ethan, as he disappeared down the hall.
The moment Ethan was out of sight, my thoughts wandered to our multiple make out sessions, and really, how I'd wished they'd been with someone else. They had been hot, primal – and with a hint of desperation. The kind that ignited a fire in my core, one that no amount of water could put out. I wanted more – yes, I wanted Ethan, but out of primal urges that felt stronger than ever in this place. To push him up against the wall and have my way with him. The desire was overwhelming, a raw, unbridled hunger that demanded satisfaction. Ethan was the only one prepared to quell the desire with his touch. It felt like I was losing control of my urges to these four walls.
As the door creaked open, I turned, expecting to see Ethan standing in the doorway. Instead, it was empty, save for the cold, empty hallway. I couldn't shake off the confusing feeling in my chest – disappointment, tinged with a twinge of anger. I'd had never been one to play games, especially when it came to matters of the heart.
I closed the door to this shitty motel room, letting out a sigh of frustration. My body was still reeling from Ethan's touch, my mind was in a state of confusion, and my heart seemed to be playing tug-of-war. I let my jacket slide off my shoulders and threw it onto the nearest chair.
I decided to take a shower to clear my mind. The hot water would help me relax, and perhaps give me some clarity. I undressed, letting my clothes fall in a heap on the floor.
The hot water hit my skin, beads of water cascading down my body. I tilted my head back, closing my eyes and letting out a moan. My mind wandered back to Ethan, the desire resurfacing. I wanted Ethan, needed Ethan – to fill the loneliness that ached in my chest.
I reached for the soap, rubbing my hands together. My mind was made up; I would take matters into my own hands – literally.
I wrapped my slippery fingers around my shaft, slowly stroking from base to tip.
A low, guttural moan escaped my lips as I remembered Ethan's, the taste of his tongue, the feeling of his body pressed against mine. I imagined Ethan's hands running over my slick torso, down my thighs, and up again, caressing every inch with a gentleness that contradicted his strength.
Images of Ethan's muscled body flooded my mind as I stroked myself faster and harder, moving my hand in rhythm with my thoughts.
I let out another moan, the sound echoing in the steam-filled room.
Suddenly, the bathroom door creaked open, and in walked Ethan. I didn't even attempt to hide my arousal; the sight of Ethan's muscular frame made my heart race.
Ethan's eyes wandered down my body, stopping at the most intimate part. A devilish grin spread across his face. "Mind if I join you?"
I hesitated for a moment before nodding. Ethan stepped into the shower, his body inches from mine.
Ethan wrapped his arms around me, pulling him close. Our bodies pressed together, the water cascading down our skin in a sheet of steam.
Ethan's lips met mine in a passionate kiss, his tongue probing deep into my mouth.
Ethan's hands wandered down my back, tracing the curve of my spine before settling on my ass. He squeezed and groped, pulling me closer until our bodies melded together.
I let out a gasp, surrendering to Ethan's touch. My body felt on fire, ignited by Ethan's expert touch. Ethan's hands moved up my torso, caressing my tight chest and roaming down my abs. With a gasp, Ethan's fingers brushed against the head of my cock.
My breath hitched as Ethan's fingers circled my length, slick with soap. He began to stroke my cock with long, slow strokes. I couldn't help but let out a low moan, my hips bucking as I pushed myself further into Ethan's grasp.
Ethan's lips found mine again, our lips locked in a passionate kiss as Ethan continued to draw lazy circles around my cock. My hands roamed Ethan's body, feeling the hard muscle beneath my fingers, tracing every curve and line.
Ethan's touch consumed me, and I couldn't get enough of it.
"Fuck, Ethan," I groaned, my voice hoarse with desire. "I need you."
Ethan chuckled, a low and husky sound that sent shivers down my spine. "Patience, Andrew. I promise it'll be worth the wait."
Ethan dropped to his knees, his eyes never leaving mine. My breath hitched as Ethan's lips wrapped around the head of my cock, his tongue swirling around the sensitive flesh.
My hands gripped the back of Ethan's head, my fingers tangled in Ethan's short red hair. Ethan's lips moved up and down my shaft, his suction increasing with each stroke.
Ethan's hands gripped my hips, pulling him closer as he took me deeper into his mouth. My moans filled the steam-filled bathroom, the sound bouncing off the tiles.
"Oh, fuck," I muttered, my hips bucking as Ethan's tongue tracing a line along the underside of my cock.
Ethan's fingers dug into my hips, holding me steady as my moans filled the shower.
But I had other plans. I wanted to taste Ethan, to make him feel as good as I was feeling right now. I pulled Ethan to his feet, our bodies slick with soap and water.
I turned Ethan around, pressing him against the shower wall. Ethan's breath hitched as my lips trailed down the nape of his neck, my tongue flicking against Ethan's skin. My hands roamed down Ethan's chest, tracing the lines of his abs before settling on his ass.
My fingers danced over Ethan's hole, teasing and tantalizing. Ethan's breath hitched as my tongue circled his entrance, before pushing inside him.
Ethan let out a low moan, his body shuddering with pleasure. My tongue moved in and out, fucking Ethan with a slow, gentle rhythm.
"Oh, fuck, Andrew," Ethan groaned, his hands gripping the shower wall for support. "That feels so fucking good."
I grinned, a wicked gleam in my eyes. "Glad you're enjoying yourself."
I removed tongue, and Ethan let out a sound of protest, but I was far from finished.
I grabbed the bottle of soap and squirted a generous amount onto my hand. I spread the soap over my cock, making sure it was slick and ready.
"Ready for me?" I asked, his voice husky with desire.
Ethan nodded, letting out a gasp as I entered him from behind. My hands gripped Ethan's hips, pulling him closer as I thrust into him. The sound of our bodies slapping against each other echoed in the bathroom, drowned out by the sound of the water.
His heat surrounded my cock as he clenched tighter to feel every inch of it. My thrusts became faster, harder, taking Ethan to the brink and then back again. Ethan's breaths came in ragged gasps, matching the rhythm of my thrusts.
Our bodies moved as one, sweat dripping down our chests, mingling with the water. My hands gripped Ethan's hips, pulling him closer as I plunged deeper inside him. Ethan's werewolf nails dug into the tiles, leaving behind marks as he braced himself against the wall, the red glow of his alpha eyes evident in the dimly lit room.
Our brief encounter, charged and desperately needed, was abruptly cut short just as the air between us crackled with unspoken desire as he pulled away, stepping out of the shower. I couldn't help but confront him my own weaning control slipping, "Ethan, what's going on?" His gaze flickered, a storm brewing in his eyes before he responded, a trace of vulnerability in his voice, "I'll be right back." as he fled, leaving me once again to the mercy of the motel's haunting influence. Alone once again, the whispering intensified, urging me toward actions my heart rebelled against, my attempts to block them out futile.
I had no way to tell how much time had passed before I found myself emerging into the forecourt with no memory of how I got there. I was met by the chaotic scene of Stiles, Lydia, and Allison converging on a distraught Ethan. His now apparent struggle with the motel's influence was clear by his thwarted suicide attempt, yet my concern was fleeting, overshadowed by the voices that commanded my every thought.
As they went to rally the others, Stiles grabbed my arm "Andrew, what's wrong man, I need your help, is this affecting you, too?" His plea for my assistance clashed with the direct command from the voice in my head of my deceased mother, the cacophony of whispers, forcing me to walk away from him.
"Go, save the others." I instructed in a hollow, empty monotone voice that wasn't mine.
I don't remember much else once I was out of sight, other than the darkness enveloped me, spiriting me away to the ethereal domain of the Sorciers de l'Ombre. There, amidst the velvety darkness, the ancient council stood before me, their figures cloaked in an aura of formidable power and enigmatic wisdom. "Andrew," they began, their voices a harmonious blend that resonated with the very core of my being, "you are the culmination of centuries of guardianship and mastery over the elements and the mind. The Sorciers de l'Ombre, your ancestors, were not merely practitioners of magic; they were the architects of reality's subtle nuances, shaping the world from the shadows."
As they spoke, one of the council members stepped forward, extending a hand to reveal an ancient scroll. "This," they intoned, "is the Lexicon of Shadows, a tome of knowledge and power passed down through your bloodline. Its origins trace back to the dawn of our order, crafted by the first of our kind to codify the arts of persuasion, elemental sorcery, and shadow manipulation." The scroll, they explained, was not just a repository of spells and lore; it was a key, a conduit for my burgeoning abilities, designed to unlock and refine the powers coursing through my veins.
Taking the scroll, a surge of energy coursed through me, as if the very essence of the Sorciers de l'Ombre had imbued me with their collective strength and wisdom. "With this scroll," they continued, "you will master the ability to influence the hearts and minds of those around you, to commune with the natural world in ways no mortal can fathom, and to move through the shadows as if they were extensions of your own will. You, are now the Sorcier de l'Ombre."
The significance of the scroll was profound. It symbolized my connection to the shadow council, made up of all the Sorciers before me, serving as a tangible link to the ancestral powers that defined my heritage. Its possession was a rite of passage, marking me as the heir to the Sorciers de l'Ombre's legacy, entrusted with safeguarding the balance between the seen and unseen worlds. "Be careful young one, the path ahead of you is a tumultuous one, tread wisely, or you will join this council in death sooner than is your time."
I had so many questions, but as I attempted to speak, the hooded figures in white cloaks began to vanish from view. That is when I heard Stiles and Ethan in my periphery, getting closer.
As one reality faded and I awoke in another, the scroll clutched tightly in my hand, I realized that my journey had only just begun. With the Lexicon of Shadows as my guide, I was to navigate the perilous path ahead, armed with the knowledge and power of generations of Sorciers de l'Ombre at my back. Exhausted and barely conscious I roused from this dreamlike state by Ethan's urgent rescue, his Alpha presence enveloping me safety in his arm, Stiles' anxious commands faded into the background. Clutching the now very real scroll in my pocket, a tangible link to the council, I succumbed to exhaustion as I was loaded onto the bus where for the first time in months, I slept a dreamless sleep.
The next morning on the bus ride home, Lydia's discovery of wolfsbane in the coach's whistle as the source of the wolves' poisoning, and the dark influence of the Darach, connected the dots to the motel's haunted history and, as I later learned from my father, my great uncle Alexander Argent's tragic fate there in 1977. It was this confluence of events, the mark left on the shadows by Alexander's death, that had amplified the motel's malevolent influence, culminating in my successful summoning of the council.
Their words echoed in my thoughts, "Use the Lexicon wisely, Andrew, for within its pages lies the power to shape the world, but also the potential to unravel it." The scroll's origins, steeped in the mystique of the first Sorciers de l'Ombre who stood at the crossroads of human history, manipulating the fabric of reality from behind the curtains, endowed me with a sense of purpose and a burden of responsibility. My role was clear; I was to be a guardian of balance, a protector of the natural order that the Sorciers de l'Ombre had dedicated their legacy to preserving.
The revelations of this night, both terrifying and enlightening, had irrevocably changed the course of our journey. With the newfound knowledge of my powers and the dark legacy of the Argent family, the battle lines were drawn clearer than ever. The Darach's sinister machinations were a threat not just to the werewolves but to the very fabric of Beacon Hills, and I, armed with the ancient sorcery of my ancestors, stood at the heart of the coming storm.
