3 Hello Bunny
Maybe, just maybe, it really is over. I can go home and rest and go to work. It'll be ok. Maybe I beat the odds and they all found their prizes.
With each movement from her cave, Vin strains her ears to listen. She keeps her steps light so as not to crunch a leaf or break a twig. Her body slowly strains as she stands. There is no one in the forest with her.
She lets out a silent sigh. She is almost overwhelmed with gratitude for being spared.
Ok now, how do I get home? I think my city is east of here.
She tiptoes around some tees in her path, hugging their trucks as she moves. Her bare feet landed softly on the ground mulch. Her slippers in her hands, she hopes that bare feet would be less conspicuous. She imagines that she is a leaf falling in a puddle of water without making a splash.
Quiet.
Gentle.
She looks back over her shoulder. There are no shouts, no cars, nothing that follows her.
No one is behind me.
She turns around and smack
She stands dazed for a moment. She had taken her eyes away for just a moment and ran into something big, cold, and hard - like a boulder.
No, not a boulder. A wolf.
The sound of surprise comes from deep in her throat.
No, no, no, no. She shakes her head and backs up. No no no I was so close, so close to going home and having a warm dinner. Stupid, why didn't I stay hidden?
"I-I- I'm sorry." Her voice trembles as she apologizes. Her foot trips over a branch, and now she is on her back crawling away from him.
He inches down and crawls toward her with a low growl in his oversized human form. Even in their human form, wolves are still significantly stronger and faster than any human.
"No, I p-p-please." Vin is not above begging. She shakes her head as hot tears spill. "Please." It is barely a whisper at this point.
In one lunge, his knees are on either side of her legs. She shrieks and jumps to pull her legs out from under him. With one swoop, Vin’s body is over his shoulder and he's running with her.
Vin is so scared. So f*****g scared that she was stupid enough to be here. Stupid enough to fail her community. She cries until she passes out from exhaustion.
.
Vin’s head is on a soft pillow. Her body feels blissful, resting on a soft bed. She sweeps her hands over the silky sheets, enjoying the kindness of rest.
"Ugh," Her head hurts massively.
She moves her hand to her head but finds resistance. She can't move her hands. There is a weight on her wrists restricting her movement. There are shackles holding her down. Her wrists, ankles, knees, and hips are held down by chains that bite into her skin.
Then the night of the hunt bubbles up from her memories and she closes my eyes as they flood in. It hits her like a train.
Fuck what am I going to do? What are they going to do to me? Just f**k.
"I see you are awake my bunny." A deep voice slides into her ears.
Vin looks to her side to see a large 6"4 man. His muscles are well defined, the benefits of good nutrition. He has short black hair, brown eyes, and stubble on his jaw. This is a werewolf in his human form.
"I am Kye. And you -" His finger changes to a claw. He uses his nail to trace a white scratch from Vins slim neck down to her hip "-are my prize. You hid well. I was surprised when I saw you come out of that tree. I waited in the branches above for hours, waiting for my prize. Well, you will not be mine exactly, but I caught you for the Alpha- Aleric. You will come to know him very well."
Vin tenses her jaw. What would have happened if I had stayed hidden?
As if hearing her thoughts, Kye speaks again.
"You hid like a rabbit!" He smiles and laughs at her, "That's my favorite thing to hunt."
Her stomach tightens. There is nothing comforting about being compared to a wolf’s favorite thing to hunt.
“What is your name, little rabbit?”Kye is tracing his finger over her body. Her jaw, her hands, her arms. Kye cannot get enough of her curves.
“Vin.” She whispers. It is her name and no one will take that from her.
"Vin. Vin.“ He tries her name in his mouth. “Have you had s*x before? Any children?" Kye stares at her.
Damn wolves and their breeding fetish! She shakes her head no. No, I have not had children. In contrast to Vin, wolves were very s****l. They were open and public with their fornication.
"But you're old enough?" He knits his brows in confusion. Is it really hard to believe someone would not have children?
Vin does not move to confirm. She is 22. She just never wanted to risk it. She never wanted to bring a child into this world. She was content with living out her life and being there for those around her.
"Well. The good thing for you is the Alpha needs a few women to breed and you will do delightfully well." Kye licks his lips. “The best part is we get to share, so I will have my fill of you too.”
"No." She said firmly. Her voice does not betray her fear, only her stubbornness.
"Excuse me?" It is not smart to say no to a wolf. His eyes flash.
"No, Kye. I will not be breeding for the alpha or any damn wolf!" She says defiantly. Vin, the girl who always kept herself small so as not to be noticed had grown bolder as her situation became more dire.
He stares shocked at first, and then he laughs. He is delighted in her passion."Oh, my little rabbit you don't get a say. How silly you humans can be."
Kye ran his hands over the human. He loved humans. They were soft, round, and warm in ways that werewolf women were not. But humans were also so fragile.
Vin never wanted children. She never found someone she loved enough to do that, and she never felt safe enough to let herself dream. I do not want to bring a human baby or a half-breed into this wolfed-up world. Werewolves are not kind to half-breeds. This used to confuse Vin as to why wolves were so eager to make babies with humans. That was until she learned that they are often used for manual labor in this country.
"I thought I could get you warmed up for Alpha before he gets here. You may not be mine completely, but I am here to make sure - '' Kye pauses as he slides the blanket off of Vin, “He doesn’t go too far. Sometimes he forgets how soft humans are.”
Vin shivers, her nakedness made more noticeable now that there is no blanket to cover her.
Kye tightens the cuffs that hold her ankles and brings her thighs further apart. This was his favorite part, enjoying the softness of human women. Kye would never be the one to have s*x with her- this delightfully aromatic Vin-, but he would be able to enjoy her in other ways which would make her time with Aleric easier.
She would come to appreciate him.
“I said no,” Vin whispered.
Kye cracks a small smile. Like she has a choice or a bargaining chip at this point. Neither of them do, but Kye is the only one who has come to accept his role.
Kye hovers his body over hers, soaking up her warmth.
“You belong to the alpha, but I can help you enjoy things. Humans are so soft and vulnerable.” He can feel her body shimmy under him, and he can smell her. “Let me help you enjoy things, Vin.”
