A Wolf's Howl, A Fairy's Wing

About an hour later, after Emma served him breakfast, Erik stood outside his home to wait for his training partners for the day.

He didn't want to wear his armor for this, so he was currently wearing some magically conjured clothes from Elora. He had some real clothes still, but those wouldn't survive if he changed forms.

Before leaving the house, he had also quickly checked the basement to see if Nora was still sleeping. When he didn't see her there, or anywhere else in the house, he simply assumed she had gone back to his uncle's.

A few minutes passed before Viljar, and the others finally showed up.

Their expressions were varied. Viljar was calm. Björn was clearly excited as he was already shadowboxing a little. Olaf looked annoyed but not unwilling. Anne was perhaps the most surprising. She appeared to have calmed down since yesterday and was now simply looking around with narrowed eyes.

Erik could only guess she was looking for the humans she knew were with him.

But they wouldn't appear today, as Erik had asked Emma to look after Astrid. At the same time, she would continue to absorb aetherium and explore her glyph while Emily was learning sigil craft from Elora.

Finally, there was Nora. Now bonded with Erik through Elora's Bond of Service and then thoroughly tamed during the aftermath, she now looked at him mostly with lust and obedience, yet her confidence didn't seem to have wavered.

The moment she laid eyes on Erik, she sprinted towards him with an excited smile.

Smirking slightly, Erik decided to simply wait with his hands behind his back. When she reached him, she pressed her soft body against him and began to suck on his lips.

Naturally, Erik could have stopped her, but why would he? He may not care much about Nora, but neither did he entirely subscribe to the idea that she was just a tool, as Elora did.

So he figured, after last night, the least he could do was let her kiss him if she liked.

As they kissed, the others in her group stopped in their tracks and looked at the two of them with wide eyes. Only Anne didn't seem very surprised. Although, Nora's action did cause Anne to lose her cautious expression and palm her face while mumbling, "Surprise, surprise."

She knew what Nora was like, and with her hearing being the strongest in her group, she had heard the woman sneaking out and staggering back hours later. The smell of sweat and various other things that hung around her at that time made it pretty clear what she had been doing.

The fact that some of those smells were kind of nice was not something she chose to think about.

After the initial surprise passed, Björn shook his head in exasperation while Olaf narrowed his eyes in anger and jealousy.

As it turned out, Nora had been keeping Olaf on the hook for quite a while already.

After they separated, Erik grinned at the pleasured expression of Nora. "Got your fill?"

Nora giggled surprisingly cutely and pulled back a little before whispering in his ear. "I got a taste, but I hope you'll give me the real thing again soon, Master~~."

Chuckling, Erik responded. "Perhaps I can make some time for you tomorrow. That is… if you're a good girl?"

"I'll be the best girl for you, Master." She whispered before pulling back and winking at him.

It didn't seem like Nora had changed much since yesterday, as her playfulness, confidence, and lust were all still there. The only thing that had changed was her desire to dominate had turned into a desire to submit.

His following words, Erik transmitted through their bond, surprising Nora with that possibility. "No hard feelings over having to spy for us?"

It didn't matter anymore, of course, as it was already a done deal, but he still preferred if she went into this semi-willingly.

Seeing her confusion, he quickly relayed the method by which to respond. Soon, her answer came in a thoughtful tone. "Well… It's a little weird knowing you can order me to do anything, and I'll just obey like a trained dog. I'm not really used to the submissive role."

Erik nodded with understanding. He had no intention of letting her go, but he could imagine what she meant.

But before he could respond, Nora giggled lustfully, "But it's not so bad. I mean, I asked you to make me see stars to make this up to me, but I'm pretty sure I saw a whole galaxy last night."

Then she shrugged. "Anyway, if you were a human, a vampire, or even a foreign shapeshifter, it would be different. But you're Runa's son! And considering the way Viljar talked about you, I doubt you intend any harm upon me or the Enclave."

In response, Erik nodded. "Not unless this Frostfang intends to make trouble for me, no."

Nora quickly dismissed his words. "I'm sure he won't! There are few things that guy cares more about than Runa and the Enclave."

Their mental conversation had lasted only a few seconds, and now, Viljar had approached them with a raised eyebrow. "Something you two would like to tell me?"

Erik shrugged with a confident smirk. "She came to me last night, begging to get fucked hard, and I simply gave her what she wanted until she purred like an obedient kitten."

Silence reigned for a moment as everyone looked at Nora's reactions to those brash and vulgar words, but seeing her smirk with lust in her eyes and stay quiet caused various reactions among them.

Viljar sighed in a way that screamed, 'I'm getting too old for this shit,' and then simply walked away to start stretching and preparing for training.

Björn just laughed out loud, "Hahaha, I warned you! You finally met your match!" Then, he joined Viljar for stretches.

Anne just decided to stay out of it and join them, while continuing to palm her face and shake her head in exasperation.

Only Olaf was a little direct as he stepped towards the two of them with fury in his eyes. He moved to grab Nora's arm as he said, "Nora! This guy?! Really?!"

But before he could reach her, a large hand had wrapped itself around his throat, and a threatening growl sounded. "What do you think you're doing, little man?"
