Luca turned his head.
Fear and shame contorted Nox’s face.
“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry….” Nox started to move away, his entire body vibrating with the effort.
“Let it go.” The words came out so flat Luca didn’t recognize his own voice.
“Luca…”
“Do it.”
Nox shook his head but tightened his grip.
“Quit fighting the Anubis.”
Nox inhaled a butchered sob. “I can’t… I can’t let it do that to you….”
“And that’s not your choice to make.”
Nox made a broken sound only to be devoured by a growl.
Violence and rage on a wave of heat washed over Luca. Black wound over Nox’s limbs, his bones cracked, shifting Nox’s weight enough for Luca to scurry out from under him.
“Look at me.”
Steam rose in ribbons from Nox’s skin and green flooded the gray of his eyes. Nox’s expression wavered from horrified to hunger.
“As your Alpha, your Cana, I’m ordering you to prove to me you’re worthy. Show me how strong you are.” Luca leaned closer. “Because if you don’t, I’ll find another wolf who can.”
The Anubis roared, and the forest shook with fleeing animals and birds erupting from the trees. Strength surged through Luca, and he ran.
Mocking the Anubis with thoughts of escape, leaving it behind because it was too weak to win. And the Anubis returned with images of all the wicked things it would do.
A creek bubbled up ahead. Luca didn’t slow down and leapt, clearing the bank, landing on his feet. He kept going, pushed by the power he stole from the creature at his heels.
The ground vibrated, heavy breaths grew louder, Luca ran harder.
Luca entered a small clearing in the heart of the woods and was shoved to the forest floor. Air burst from his lungs, litter piled around his shoulders, the ground bruised his flesh but all he felt was that glorious fullness of being stuffed with cock.
Threads of black seared down Nox’s arms, climbing over Luca’s limbs, wrapping around him, fondling his lips, his neck, his chest only to withdraw, leaving the man. But what fucked Luca was not human, it might have worn Nox’s body, but the power behind every thrust shoved a cry of pleasure out of Luca. The hollow clap of bodies, heavy breaths, and deep animalistic growls all called to Luca, promising both wonderful and terrible things.
Nox jerked Luca off the ground, arching his back, and the length of his dick struck deeper, igniting a euphoric crash, a forest fire of need. The grip on Luca’s hips went sharp, claws pushed through the meat of his thigh and the one around his throat, brushed close to his jugular.
But Luca held the absolute knowledge he was safe because both the creature and the man belonged to him.
Nox slowed his movements, each plunge hitting harder than before as if he couldn’t penetrate Luca deep enough or hard enough, as if he needed to be under his skin.
Luca widened his knees, and the ache of being filled exploded into an exquisite ecstasy.
Ropes of cum splattered the leaves in front of him.
With a guttural roar, Nox buried himself, sealing their bodies together, filling Luca with his release. At the same moment, Nox clamped down on Luca’s shoulder, driving his bite through flesh, past the muscle, and snapping bone. Luca came again, shuddering with crash after crash of pleasure.
He was still trembling when Nox lowered them to the ground, mouth locked in place, cock buried in Luca’s ass, his muscles rippling against Luca’s body.
The rage, the violence fell into a lull, and Luca wrapped it in all the love he felt for Nox. Not just the man but the darkness.
The Anubis.
