The Beast's Virgin Claim

"Why did you not stop when you heard the females?" I question unhappily.

"This is natural Theia. When I was your age I would see wolves mating in the trees all the time. If those females had indeed seen us they would have simply bowed and left." He utters frowning as though I am the foolish one here.

My lips wobble and my eyes brim with tears of humiliation. I would have never been able to live through the aftermath if those females had seen me that way writhing with pleasure beneath their Alpha. I was always taught to do such things in private with your mate not out in the open like you are performing a show.

"Your ways and my ways are too different I know this. Yet why can\'t you adjust yours and respect mine for me just once?" I ask bitterly snatching my underwear from his hands hurriedly putting it on I march out of the sheltering trees into the pack grounds.

"I have done nothing to make you upset, Theia. I only wished to feed in the place I find to be my home."

"Then why do we have a cabin Phobos?"

"It is for you. I can live in the wild rather I prefer it more. I used to reside there most of the time before I brought you here." He follows me hot on my heels wishing to pacify me.

"But still you never let me adjust you always do as you please. Have you ever once thought how I would feel?"

"I thought you enjoyed it too. I mean the sounds you were making convinced me you did or was I wrong I-"

"End of conversation," I yell my cheeks flaring wildly in embarrassment to his words. Stupid male.

"Where have you been, Luna?! I have had my females scouring the pack lands for you. Where is your sense of punctuality?" The leader of females emerges out of thin air startling me with her ghostly judging eyes staring into mine. I knew this would happen!

"Vdce I apologize for being late. I-I was-" As I contemplate a lie or a realistic reason to tell her my male rescues me unhesitantly from her remorseless claws.

"She was with me. We were busy...eating. And you are only meant to train my female she is still your queen and you will respect her as such. Do not forget your place Vdce." Phobos says his voice austere and sharp as he scowls down at her.

"Krl." She hastily bows in reverence submitting to his true essence.

A sudden commotion at the centre of the land very close to us right where we stand has the three of us turn towards the source. A bulky male drags his female out of their hut and shoves her to the ground, she is wailing hysterically her cheeks are swollen and blue showing me he has harmed her.

"Tell the pack what you have done! What you withheld from me, the lies you spewed. Tell them!" He roars as she visibly flinches to his wrath, he seems to be in critical pain not physical but emotional agony for I regard the sadness in his eyes and traces of tears on his cheeks.

"It was before I met you, Arne. Odpus mi prosm." She begs crawling towards him on her hands and knees her body trembling for she is terrified she shall lose him.

(Forgive me, please)

"You do not believe the teachings of the moon for if you did you would have never done that." He looks sick to his stomach as though he shall retch any moment if he interacts with her any longer.

"I was a juvenile I did not know what I was doing. I only meant to learn so I could be better for you." She weeps shutting her eyes for her cheeks are swelling up further with time causing her more discomfort and her male\'s globes widen imperceptibly an instinct to comfort his female calls him but he stops himself for she has committed an inexcusable sin against him and their blessed bond.

"Nedoku t ani vidt. Znechucuje m." He spits down right where she was tossed looking away his hands clenched into trembling fists.

(I can\'t even bear to see you. You disgust me)

Her screams are too disturbing to hear as though he has torn apart her heart with only a few words. I understand it for our males hold that much power over us.

"Neopoutj m, Arne." She whines holding onto her chest as though she is unable to withstand her callous male.

(Do not leave me, Arne)

Phobos calmly marches ahead towards the newly mated wolves and the pair instantly stiffen up to his emerging heat the gathered wolves readily making way for him. I do not follow my male I choose to watch from a short distance for I am a bit confused as to what is going on and would rather be the audience than the leader.

"Drakho," I call out to the male waving my hand at him to gather his attention. He notices me promptly and proceeds to come forward and stand beside me. I shall get answers to my questions from him.

"What has your female done?" Phobos questions and Arne looks as though he is fighting a war within himself whether to give away the truth of her immorality to his Alpha or hide it. My moon blessed is patient not pressuring him to answer allowing the unsettled male to take his time he does not dominate him either.

"She...she gave away her virtue to another male before me." He states but no reaction comes from the assembled wolves they merely regard him with pity and her with revulsion.

"Vdce. Vezmi ji." Phobos commands his eyes set solidly on the depressed male.

(Take her)

The leader of females and her tight-knit group drag Arne\'s mate towards an abandoned hut one which I have never been in before. "Where are they taking her?" I ask Drakho squinting my eyes to get a better view of what is happening.

"For her trial. Losing your virtue to another wolf than your mate is considered an unpardonable sin on our lands. She will be kept in that hut for three weeks and will be continually punished by the females."

"W-What?" I question my eyes widening at his explanation.

"Did you raise your hand on your female?" Phobos\'s question to Arne grasps my awareness away from the Vdce and her females. The male takes in a deep tremulous breath as though he regrets it terribly as though it distresses him to even think about what he had done to her.

"Yes, Krl."

"Kleet," Phobos orders gathering his hair tying it into a loose bun he rolls the sleeves of his coat revealing to me the protruding veins of his forearms whilst the male crumples to the ground on his knees his head dipped in respect. He already knows what is to come.

(Kneel)

"Why is he kneeling?" I ask taking a stumbling step backwards to the eerie composure my male holds in his blues.

"Males are not permitted to harm their females if they have done so they will face Krl\'s vengeance."

The powerful deafening sound of my male\'s knuckles coinciding with Arne\'s jaw, the crack of his jawbone breaking frightens me a minute shriek leaving my lips. It comes as ease to Phobos to correct one of his wolves for the deed he had done. I witness no shift of emotion in his eyes as though a dark unfeeling voidness has consumed him.

I do not recognize this male for when he is with me I see such beautiful things, not this cold-hearted emotionlessness. This is the male I had beheld a year ago a male who terrifies me.. He is Alpha.
