(Talbain's view)
I slept against the wall that night, completely taken aback by my feelings for Collin. My mind was trying its best to convince of a folly for loving Collin and my heart and emotions were fighting back. 'This can't be real' I thought to myself. I wanted to believe this was just one of those loose fantasies everyone has once in awhile but it felt so much different then one of those.
My mind tried to argue with logic about a romance with Collin and was in complete disfavor of it.
"You can't fall in love with a human! Not with Collin! Look at him! He has a perfect body! A mansion rivaling my castle! and a personality that anyone could fall in love with! And what makes you think he would chose you over all the other girls in the world? AND he's a hunter! He's a sworn birth enemy! Do you know how lucky you are that he's letting you live with him? He could have just killed you or used you as a slave but he spared you! DON'T PUSH YOUR LUCK!"
my heart fought back and was clearly winning.
"I can and i did fall in love with a human. I fell in love with Collin. I love that perfect body of his, I don't know why but I always had an attraction to pecs and abs even from a different species. Indeed this mansion is very nice and would make for very romantic settings. I agree he does have a great personality and I do love it. After all the pain hes been through he can still joke around and show great kindness to others even though he has been shown by little himself. And so what if he's a hunter? I'm a prince! He let me live that day because he believed in peace between out kinds and one day humans and werewolfs will be mated couples. Why not start with the kindest there is......Collin."
My mind after be destroyed at every topic finally landed a hit.
"DOES HE EVEN LOVE YOU BACK?!"
my heart and emotions finally admitted a lose there and was now trying to form a plan how to be with Collin.
"I think I should give him hints and suggestions here and there and see what he does with them. I don't want to come one to strong, he may just be struggling with his feelings like I was. Just a hint or two a day at most, nothing to extreme."
The morning began like any other i had breakfast with Collin and decided to follow him to school and watch him from a distance. I hid in some tall grass about 30 feet from a window in the massive building Collin was learning in. My heart and emotions didn't help the situation by teasing me with ideas.
"Stupid human school.....Collin should just stay home with me and I could teach him things.....many, many things" my seductive side said with a enchanting tone.
"Why not just have at him right there in the middle of the classroom. So what if the others watch? Maybe i want them to watch." my agressive lover side said.
"If any girl tries to approach him, I will chase them off!" my defensive lover side said firmly.
"SHUT UP! ALL OF YOU! YOURE NOT HELPING AT ALL TO SEE IF HE LOVES ME BACK!" I shouted at all of them
I didn't know if I really wanted to do this. Stalk him and see if he has feelings for me. it makes me feel so helpless, I should be more stronger then this! I just don't get it in my mind. I have fought monsters, vampires, and seen horrible death all around me and I act without hesitation.........but when it comes to Collin.......this one boy......I freeze.....all my fortitude and hardened training seems to completely fall apart before me and I feel so pathetic when I can't come out with it! I have heard of this waiting to see if someone loves you in other stories and romance books and it is more like torture rather then comedy when your the one in love!
"Leave him a note at home.....find a secret place and admit your feelings there.....not to strongly of course just come on lightly and wait for his response."
I considered it for awhile and I agreed with the idea. I just want to get it over with it and see what happens.......I hope this doesn't end badly.
I returned back to Collins mansion and with my human writing lessons paying off, thanks to Collin, i left him a note saying
'Collin if your reading this, I want you to come by the lake at 7 PM and talk to you about something. I can't stress enough how important it is that you come here. I really need you for something. Talbain'
I hope I didn't sound to desperate but it had to do. I went by the glass flat lake and though only more about Collin. Those abs and pecs......he trained so hard and must know great endurance and strength......His hair and eyes were the color of the trees and my eyes were green symbolizing the leafs and bushes while my gray fur made the green in my eyes stand out even more. Which meant Collin was like a trees and branches in the forest and i was the leafs and grass completely covering him and moving along with the wind. Bending and twirling all around my stiff lover, but at the same time staying right next to him.
That seemed a bit to strong to come out with I said trying to drown the fear of rejectment with humor and i succeded for a moment. Please let this turn out well.
(Collin's view)
School was so boring like always i really preferred my time with Talbain. Hey maybe we will go back to the village and party some more! Even if I but a slave there, it was still fun! Finally the final bell rang and i went home and felt another feeling of loneliness again. Looks like Talbain is gone again I thought to myself a bit saddened.
When I enter the living room I saw a note on my chair and it was from Talbain. The note seem ernest about something like something happened. Well whatever the problem is I will be there for Talbain.
I haven't mustered up the strength to tell how much his company meant to me. For 3 whole years I hardly spoke any words except at school. I almost had the feeling that Talbain thought I would be okay on my own. Which was completely the opposite I feeling. He had so many great and postive things about him and he wasn't afraid to stand up for what he believed in. I think its just great to meet someone who knows my pain and talk about better times and such.
I have found werewolfs more interesting then my 'fellow' human beings. I somewhat want to be one, but if i did the whole political point of our friendship would be ruined and we would ,again, have no chance for peace. Still I admire the werewolfs and plan to defend them with my life. Even if I am looked down upon my whole life.
7 o'clock came and it was time to see what Talbain wanted from me. I gave up on trying to decide what hw wanted and decided to just go along with it. I approached the lake and saw Talbain looking out toward the lake looking a bit stressed and sad. Did something happen? He turned his head in knowledgement to my presence and sighed loudly.
(Talbain's view)
I saw Collin come closer to me and one last thought came to my mind.
"here goes nothing"
Collin walked up to my side also looking out towards the lake looking at what I was looking at.
"So whats this about Talbain?" he asked ready for some bad news or something.
"Collin what do you plan to do in your future?"
"What?"
"Your future? Do you have any plans?"
Collin looked down to the ground for a second then looked back towards the lake talking in the direction of it but was clearly meant for me.
"I really want to just get a place in the middle of nowhere and live there with the rest of my life with my lover."
My tail pircked when Collin said lover. Many girls in my village would love that idea and i admit I had an attraction to it too.
"I'm sure all girls everywhere would flock to be yours Collin"
"No they wouldn't" he said coldly clearly showing the memory of a bad past.
"What do you mean?"
"All of my life girls here and everywhere have told me that they would never be with me even if I was the last guy on earth. When I asked why they said 'because your not cooollll enough and 'nobody knows you' Hrrmph. Then all over the news you hear about the popular cheerleader being beaten by the quaterback and left to rot in the streets. I have absolutly no sympathy for those kind of people. To judge a person by one action and throw them aside for a better one, each one ending in failure. I have never met a girl in my life that wanted to be near me and I say 'Fuck them' like I woud want to be with selfish spoiled little bitches like you! Enjoy your beatings and learning your perfect football boyfriend cheats on you!"
I felt so horrible for Collin. How can anyone think him not worthy being a mate? A great body, a mansion, and a kind and loving personality and the human girls decide to chose a mate that clearly has no attraction to them. And i wonder why Collin is still single. He wants real love not just some quick experience.
"I think nobody wants to be with me. ......except you, Talbain."
I looked at him and he was near tears.
"I always enjoyed your company and you didn't judge me by my species or a single action. You listened to what I had to say and that made me so happy........that somewhere in the world that someone wanted to be with me.......that someone cared about what I thought about things.......that I was somebody to them.......I glad your here with me Talbain...........Thats why I will help you retake the throne.......to give your honor back with just the shred I have left.......I will help you to my dying breath Talbain....."
My mind, my body, my heart, and my emotions finally just gave in. I knew why Collin wanted to be with me and have me around and now I know what I want from him
"............."
"Talbain?" Collin said still having tears in his eyes
"............." I continued my silence
"Talbain?"
(Collin's view)
I didn't like this silence Talbain gave me......I must have said something wrong or horrible to him or his species. I didn't want him to hate me but I meant every word I said before.
Then suddenly Talbain grabbed my arms with his and pinned me to a big tree, I was standing up but pinned and I was caught completely off guard by this. I tried one little kick but he quickly wrapped his legs around mine. WHAT WAS GOING ON?!
I struggle for a second but I stopped when I saw tears in Talbains eyes and an expression on his face showing regret.
"Oh dear god! He's going to kill me!" I thought to myself
I came completely unarmed and i knew there was no way i could fight off Talbain with just my fists. It was all over for me.
"I should have done this when I first met you.......forgive me Collin" he said not looking at me straight into my eyes
"He was betraying me........It was all a lie......he hated me......I meant nothing to him." I thought desperatly thinking i knew his thoughts and emotions.
Talbain leaned his muzzle forward and I close my eyes ready his powerful jaws and teeth to either bite off my face or bite my throat off.
But no pain came.......There was something on my lips.....it was warm...........soft..........and wet?
I opened my eyes and blushed a bright red at the sight before me.......Talbain was kissing me!
I was shocked by this sudden sign of affection that I no time to think, only to feel his tender lips.
It was blissful yet......akward. Like being in someone elses paradise enjoyable but not your own.
I hear Talbain moan in pleasure as he kiss me more deeply and put his arms around my back embracing me and was moving his hands up and down my back.
I think I saw him blushing too underneath his fur but my arms were free from his pin and i pushed him away a bit forcably breaking the kiss. Talbain was panting and looked completely calm. W-WAS THIS REAL?!?!
"Talbain w-what are you doing?!" I asked still blushing but completely confused in the situation.
He didn't say a word and only grabbed my arms again and put them above my head holding them down with one hand, while going back to the rubbing of my back with the other. He began this kiss again shoving his tounge through a small opening in my mouth and we shared tounge and saliva for a few moments.
I managed to press my body against his enough to push him away again intreupting the kiss once more. Before i could say anything Talbain began to talk as if he was not really there.
"It's not fair.......it's not fair that I'm the only who feels this strongly towards someone else. I know that no one else wants to be your mate Collin but thats their loss! Because all I need is you Collin......I want-no, I NEED YOU Collin!"
Then he pressed his body back against mine and kissed more deeply and passionatly then ever sending shivers down my spine and entire being. His tounge went so far back into my mouth it nearly activated my gag reflex which made me twitch.
I broke my one of my hands free from Talbains grip from above and slapped him hard across the face, releasing me completely from his pin on me and touch his inflicted area with his hand.
(Talbain's view)
Before i could continue to show Collin my true feeling for him, I felt a hard force hit my right bonecheek which forced me to release my great desire. I touched it for a second and looked back on my desired mate and saw him running back to the mansion.
I got on all four and was prepared to give chase and continue our intimatsy but my mind finally got control of my emotions. I only managed to chase for about 4 seconds before it started to yell at me.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING TALBAIN?!?!?!? STOP!!!!"
my heart, emotions, and body all said in distant tone
"I WANT HIM, I NEED HIM! I MUST LOVE HIM! I KNOW I LOVE HIM AND THAT HE LOVES ME!"
"IS THAT WHY HE'S RUNNING AWAY?!?!?"
That stopped my burning passion right there as if someone dumped a great big bucket of water over a massive fire. Extinguishing it completely. WHAT WAS I DOING?!?!? I gripped my forehead and crashed it very hard in order to punish it. It quickly reminded me that Collin was still running away and possibly cursing me.
"COLLIN!!! WAIT!!!.......I........I'm sorry" i said knowing he couldn't hear me and probably didn't want too.
I leaned against the tree and slid down it cursing my every action and though before.
"YOU IDIOT!!! YOU STUPID IDIOT!!!! WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?!?!? HE DIDN'T SAY HE LOVED YOU BACK, HE SAID HE LIKED YOUR COMPANY!!!!! AND NOW YOU KISS HIM!?!?!? LOOK AT WHAT YOU HAVE DONE!!! HE HATES YOU!!!! YOU BETRAYED HIS TRUST!!!!
"Oh god I'm sorry......I'm sorry Collin"
"THAT HAS TO BE THE GREATEST TABOO FOR A HUNTER!!! TO KISS A WEREWOLF?!?!? YOU DESTROYED HIS LAST 'SHRED OF HONOR' IF YOU REMEMBERED IT!!! YOU DESTROYED HIS FEELINGS AND HE WILL WANT REVENGE!!!
I jolted at the thought but I thought about the consequences........I should do the right thing. I then began to talk to my mind.
"Your right......he does deserve retribution.....even if it means my death." i said accepting my fate
"WHAT?! NO! RUN GET AWAY NEVER SEE HIM AGAIN!" It yelled back
"No......he gave me a name and title back........he gave me my honor back and this is how i repay him? No he deserves a chance for revenge."
Against my minds and bodys will I went back to Collins mansion and turned back into the regular 4 legged wolf form and waited outside for Collin to put my life to a end.
I don't know how long i waited there but it felt like forever. How would he end it? Sliced across the throat? Bullet to the back of the head? Slow dismemberment? I deserve it, whatever punishment Collin was thinking of in there I deserved it.
"RUN JUST RUN! WHILE YOU STILL HAVE THE CHANCE! THINK ABOUT YOUR THRONE! THE PEOPLE! IF YOU DIE HERE THEY WILL SUFFER GREATLY UNDER KREGANS AND RAOULS REIGN!"
"And do what? I have no army if you remember?!?! Collin was convincing those 20 hunters to fight for me and that village will hate me when the release i kiss and live with a human hunter! I have no chance even if i ran away. The only thing I can hope for........is a quick painless death."
Then like on cue the front door opened and Collin walked outside giving me about 10 ft of space. The anger yelling and cursing begins I thought to myself.
"Talbain are you coming inside?" Collin said calmly and maybe a bit concerned for me
Concerned? I just kissed him! I destroyed his honor!
"No I will stay outside" I said
"Come on I don't want you to get a cold or something. Come on get inside." he said almost happily and was smiling
W-WHAT?!?! I- KISSED HIM AND HE WASN'T EVEN YELLING AT ME?!!?!? WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH HIM.
"How can you......" I said looking at the ground almost angry at his kindness
"Huh?"
"How can you just stand there and be kind to me after all that I've done?!!?! I kissed you Collin!! Remember?!?!?"
I was yelling right at him. Did he have no care about his honor?! Well I did. Collin walked slowly beside me and looked down to.
"Yea.....I remember.........that really scared me you know.........and I didn't know how to react.........it was just so.....sudden.......I needed some time......thats what I was doing in their........thinking.........about you.......about myself....about our futures and pasts........I finally came to a decision now......."
He looked at me and saw the same regret from before and asked me a question.
"You were going to leave me weren't you? You thought I didn't want to see you again didn't you"
"I was......considering it.....I deserve whatever punishment you give me Collin. Thats why I'm here......thats i didn't run away." I looked away ready for pain.
"Close your eyes Talbain" he said calmly
I did. I was ready for the killing blow. I heard him reach for something in his pocket and it sounded like it was made of metal or something and was holding it in one hand.
"A simple gunshot to the head I thought to myself........at least.......it will be over quickly" I thought to myself.
I waited......and waited.....until i heard a click.....but it wasn't from a gun......in fact.......there was something around my neck. I opened my eyes and saw collar around my neck and a long leash being held by Collin. Was I a slave now or something? Before I could ask Collin held me close and gave me hug putting his face into my fur.
"I don't want you to leave Talbain........I don't want to be alone again......and I don't want you to be alone again.......I will force you to stay if i have too" he said begging.
WHAT?! He-he wants me to stay?!?! I did want to stay but-I love him! I know i won't be able to hold back for him if at all!
"Collin?!? You don't understand! I love you! I might kiss you all over again, I might force you to be a mate and I-"
before I could finish Collin pull my head to face him and he......... I blushed a crimson red and was in shock! He kissed me!
"Then the choice is simple Talbain......" he said after he broke the kiss smiling and blushing too
"C-Collin?"
"I will be your mate Talbain. I love you too."
Hope you enjoyed! That was my first time writing a romance experience here and i hope I did okay! The next part will involve.......adult situations just a warning and a spoiler! Again any advise before I continue the romance would be a great help!
