Wolf moon | locked to song_princess
[Continuation of this thread! Also, a full moon in January is called Wolf Moon, hence the title.]
~
For a few months, tensions between clans began to escalate as random skirmishes happened due to duels and battles began to frequent. Rival clans crossed boundaries on each other's turf. Whether in the forests, by the river, fights would break out. Seiya's injuries were minimal since his last fight and he healed quickly, and he continued training to keep himself strong, just like the rest of the warriors in his clan. For Seiya's clan, the Elders of his tribe discussed in meetings as to how to increase security. Now no one travels alone, but in groups to keep each other safe, even during days when gathering food, and there's a curfew. Only the strongest warrior travels at night to keep the clan safe. In time, the guards and patrols managed to keep the skirmishes down and defend their territory off from invaders.
He was out during hunting in the forest, when he found a patch of beautiful flowers. He picked some, fresh ones along with some herbs to make for tea, to bring home as a gift to the strange Heron girl who nested and make herself at home in his hut.
He looked up at the cold evening sky and observed the moon is becoming full. Each day as the moon becomes fuller, his form becomes less human and when the moon is full, he'll be stuck in his wolf form for a number of days the moon remains full. He told Leanne ahead of time, that the transformation is a signature power of his clan since Ancient times, and the moon effected everyone in the tribe.
By the time his group arrived home, the entire clan has become wolves, howling to the month's moon in celebration as they make bonfires to light up the night as they feast. All of that howling inspire him to howl too, so he howled along with their song as he hurried to his hut.
He opened the door to his hut by bumping his head against it, and when he's at the door, on his fours, as he can't stand on his hindlegs for long, he become a full wolf. His shaggy brown fur is like his hair with streaks of warm brown, red, and grey. In his snout, are the flowers and herbs he gathered for her. He didn't tell her yet, as to how he really feels about her, but she was on his mind whenever he's out, doing his job, and neither nobody has information as to what happened to Clan Heron, as everyone is busy fighting each other or keeping the peace.
He opened his jaw to lay his flowers in her hands, licking at her fingers, and greeted her with wagging tail. "Sorry I took so long, but I came home. I brought these flowers for you. I hoped you like them." He said, with a bit of a wolfy gruff in his speech.

She approves of the flowers at least, and he's glad that she liked them, it was his intended gift. He wagged his tail and perked up his ears. "That sounds good. It's really cold outside so I like to drink something hot. Maybe something sweet? Like add honey? After that, dinner."
He shut the door tight to prevent a sudden chilly draft. Being a wolf, his senses are heightened, and he smells many different scents. The food he stored, the flowers he collected, the smell of the woods and forest. Those are familiar. It's her scent that isn't a part of the picture as she just been here for the past months, making residence, taking up space...and he realized his home was empty before. He didn't notice before, but she smelled very sweet and warm, and he wanted her warmth, as his furred body is cold.
"No, I finished my duty, so I feel like resting for tonight."
He was following after her, close to her heels, instantly looking for her warm hands to be petted, so he's rubbing his head against her hands, wolf ears brushed against her finger.
"Not much luck finding other birds, your family. But you have family here. You're my family." He admitted.
no subject
She blinks a little as he followed her around, begging for attention like that. It was a little odd but cute. She giggles again and indulges him with a few pets in between preparing a batch of tea. Once that was completed, she moves a pot of water over the fire to bring the water and the leaves inside to boil.
With a sigh, she sits down and idly pats her laps for him to rest his head on.
"Thank you... For looking. It means a lot to me." But then she blinks and smiles. "You are my family too, Seiya." She goes to look towards the door idly and if his head was on her lap, she would pet him, otherwise, her hands would be folded in her lap. She should tell him... About the urges to go back.
"Seiya... I fear that I will only be here until it is Spring." She goes to fidget a little. "Everything in me is telling me to come home. To go back to Serenes again." She hated this. Hated it so much.
no subject
The hot stew and hot tea warm his chilled body. Though it's hard to eat the normal way, considering he's stuck in his wolf form. He followed her at her heels wherever he could, making playing sounds of ruffs in between, wagging his tail happily whenever she pets.
After dinner, he rests his head on her lap. "Spring. It's too dangerous to go. The snow melts. The other clans will come out to fight again sometimes. We will journey again when it's safe."
He closed his eyes. Being a wolf, he's a handsome canine. Muscular. Brown thick fur. Outwordly yellow eyes. He licked her hands. "But if you must go, then I shall help you find other herons. Find your family. Don't give up hope yet." He curled his body closer to her, to keep warm since even with the fire, the rest of the house feels chilly and he's shivering from the bitter cold himself.
"Get blankets to make bed. Gonna keep you warm with my body and fur tonight." Because in this cold, winter can mean death as well.
no subject
She continues to pet and give him affection as he rests his head in her lap. If he was in any form but his wolf form, she would have been embarrassed to let him do this. A sigh escapes her and shakes her head. "I cannot take you away from the other clan members, Seiya. They will need you here more."
"Seiya...." She frowns and quickly shakes her head. "I... I don't want to go. I don't want to leave you or my new family." They were all precious to her. A small smile tugs at her when he licks her hands. "I will try not to..."
The frown returns as she feels him shivering and she goes to cup him within a wing. "You are cold, Seiya!" But then his commands and she goes to slowly nod. Herons were not made for winter weather and even though it may be improper... She understands how important it is for them to sleep together. "Mine or your bed? We should put a blanket over the window as well."
no subject
"Will figure out a way." He ruffed. "Yeah, that would do."
There is only one bed, and the second one, he made it for her as no one else will take her in, and she's his responsibility. "Either one. Mine, I guess." It took a while for the set-up, considering he has only paws and not hands. Windows get covered, logs were thrown into the fire to keep it burning, and then a bed is made. While it may seem improper, but to huddle to keep warm is the first instinct.
With the blankets tucked in, and she wrapped her wings and arms around him. He whined, "You're cold too."
Eventually, it becomes cozy and warm, her body is being pressed against him. He can smell her scent. "You smell very nice. Like flowers and honey. Thank you for the blankets." And he licked her face affectionately, a small lick, as a brother shows affection for a sister, and rubbed his head and snout on her long golden hair, inhaling her scent.
"Am I a good man protecting you?" His wolf eyes searching hers, rather longingly, the type of a stare a brother wouldn't have for a sister (considering he fostered her), but a mate. His question seeks an answer, as he has been wondering her feelings for him.
no subject
"I am cold but I know you will warm me up." She just will have to wait it out, tucking her face against him to help warm herself faster.
Though once everything felt cozy and warm, she finds herself relax, blushing quite a bit at just how intimately close their bodies were. This was so improper but, right now.. She couldn't care less. She giggles and laughs as he licks her, smiling as much as she can despite the blush gracing her face. "Thank you, Seiya. These blankets were originally yours." She giggles out.
The blush was intensifying when she can feel him rubbing his head and snot in her hair. Her heart shouldn't beat nearly as fast as it is. But then the look he was giving her combined with the question. She should reject...She should stop this. Especially when she keeps on hearing the call to go back home. Back to Serenes.
"Yes.... Yes you are a good man." The blush, never fading and she never breaks eye contact. This was her answer to him. "You are the perfect man I could ever wish or ask for. If I can have my wish, I would spend the rest of my life with you."
no subject
"Spend the rest of your life with me? In my clan, that means being my sister forever." Closing his eyes, feeling sleepy. He's not sure how long he'll be stuck in his wolf form, but a full moon lasts three days. So three days.
"Or my mate. You know before I was attacked, I was about to kiss you, and then I don't know how you feel about me. My feelings grow stronger when you cared for me. But then wavers when you asked me if you want to go home. So, I want to help you, yet I want you to stay. My only wish is to help you find your real home."
At his confession, Seiya reveals the conflict in his heart over her. He knew if she chooses, he will not hold her back if she wanted to go home, but that means his house will be empty and losing her, and he resolved going back to being everyone's big brother to his clan.
no subject
"You were going to kiss me?" Her blush couldn't help but to deepen at that thought. "I wish for your home to be my real home. I.... I have been in love with you, Seiya for a long time. You have given me so much warmth and happiness. How can I do anything but fall for you?"
She forces a chuckle as more tears of joy fall from her eyes. "But I was scared you didn't feel the same way. I kept telling myself I was content with just being your sister and not want anything more."
no subject
"When I was between life and death in a coma, you were in my thoughts. I was dreaming about you though in my dreams you seem so far away. I keep telling myself if I ever wake up, I shall grasp my destiny and my destiny is to be with you and make you happy."
At her confession, "Forgive me. I couldn't reveal my feelings. These days, it's always life or death. I pushed you away because if you stay with me...our lives are full of danger. I'm afraid I can't always protect you, and then you'll be lonely again."
He sighed. He feels ridiculous he's rambling, talking straight from the heart. "I would like our first kiss when I'm a man. Then, we can decide to be mates for life. So this will do." He licked her cheek, then nuzzled her tears away with his soft fur.
He closed his eyes to sleep, listening to the fire crackle, and Leanne soft sounds of her voice and coos. "I love you too, Leanne. Good night."
After some thoughts, "You know some songs? To sing me to sleep?"
no subject
She goes to shake her head. "There is nothing to forgive. The call to go home, I tried to shut myself away to prevent you from being hurt in case I couldn't resist the call any longer. It seems like we both wanted to stop the other from becoming lonely."
Some genuine laughter escapes her throat. "How much longer then, until you are a man again?" A dreamy expression shines through her eyes. "Mates for life... Aye, I like the sound of that. But are you sure you want someone like me? I am a bird and don't really fit in with wolves." But she still tried to fit in.
"I love you, Seiya." Her wings glows a little in happiness. "I know of a lullaby."
A small breath escapes her before she closes her eyes and begins to sing a lullaby for him. One which is filled with love for the wolf who took her in.
no subject
He yawns again as he drifts off to sleep. The song is soothing, and every now and then he feels her hands rubbing her ears and stroking her fur, his tails wags lazily to the melody. "Thanks, Leanne. You should sleep too." And the wolf that works so hard to find her a warm place, a home, and a family drifts off to sleep.
no subject
"You are welcome, my love. I will sleep too. Don't worry about me and get your rest." This wolf... She would forever be grateful for bringing him into her life.
no subject
Three days...three days passed, and on the fourth day, when the moon and it's power wanes, and it was the wee hours in the chilly morning, Seiya returned back to his man form at last.
The cold is still bitter, and Leanne is sleeping in his bed, huddled close to him. He slipped out to wear something warm as he didn't want her to see his naked form when she wakes up, only to return back to bed to keep her warm.
She looks so peaceful sleeping like that. He watched over her sleeping form with a smile, and then he leaned forward to press a warm gentle kiss to her lips as it was something he meant to do when he returns back to being a man, not wanting to wake her up.
He watched over her, watching her breathing softly in her sleep, chest rose and fell, but eventually, he fell back asleep, his forehead pressed on her forehead, as he lazily wrapped an arm around her waist, waiting for her to wake up later once the village rooster crows in a few hours.
no subject
Leanne was a little glad that he was in his wolf form when they confessed and started to share their bed with each other. It made it easier for her to accept this new stage in her life. She let out a small sound of protest when she felt him leave the bed.
The sound stops when he rejoins her and she idly goes to cuddle him again for warmth. She doesn't feel the kiss as she was still deep asleep. She lets out a content sound as he cuddles with her, holding her close to himself.
She sleeps for a few more hours before her eyes slowly open at the sound of the village rooster. A protest sound escapes her as she wanted to sleep a little bit longer... That is, until the sight of Seiya being a man again greets her and she ends up staring at his close face, blushing quite a bit.
What should she do?! They only confessed their love to one another but yet, haven't kissed or anything like that! Her blush deepens as she stares at his sleeping form. This... This was the man she is going to become mates with. It was so different then from when he was a wolf.
"Seiya....." She whispers, feeling herself wanting to kiss him but doesn't. Not until he is awake.
no subject
He drifts in and out of sleep, and when he opens his eyes, such soulful brown eyes. "Hm? Leanne?" He smiles and laughs when he caught her staring at him too. "Hey, good morning. Did you sleep well?" Giving himself for a bit of a stretch, he doesn't seem rush to get out of bed. "I hope you have a good dream. I have a good dream too."
Since they're close, cuddling, he can see her really up close, close enough for that kiss. "Do you want to know...?" His hand travels and roam on her slender waist, warming her up, his mate, and brings her body closer to him, hugging her within his arms, his warm scent smell like the woods and him, drawing her close to his heat.
no subject
Her blush deepens as she feels his hands roaming her body. "Yes... I want to." She goes to wrap her arms around him. His scent was so good, so comforting. "I love you Seiya."
no subject
"Me too. I dream about you and..." Those hands continue to roam, her body is so soft. And the wings and feathers too. She smells so good to him. She smells sweet, like flowers. He caressed through her golden hair. He trailed off because he can't tell her about his dream, about them having children together.
"You love me? Even in my other form? You're not scared of me being a wolf, are you?" She'll stay with him, right? Not leaving him?
no subject
She blinks at his questions and she couldn't help but to giggle. "Why would I be scared of you? You are still you no matter the shape or form you are in. I love you."
no subject
"I always dream to have sons and daughters. I pray to the Goddess to give me strong children. Everytime I see you, I was thinking of you being my mate..." He licks at her cheek, eyes saying please, and nuzzle at her neck, his breath is warm. "I sense your heat, but I thought birds are for birds..."
no subject
A soft gasp escapes her when he licks her cheek and then... That look in his eyes before he nuzzles her neck, which elicits a small moan from her. "The only one I want and love is you." She idly drapes a leg over his hips so he can 'fit' a little bit against her body. "I may not give you strong children, but... I will still like to try. Try and give you a strong son."
no subject
His tail lazily wag, and he's starting to feel excited when her legs brushed against hip. Strong arms enwrapped around her, both protectively, as he continues to nuzzle and licks her cheek again.
"Son? You? Me?" Something else is excited as well, becoming hard and aroused as it's being pressed against her thighs, and it's warm as his own heat is becoming sparked. "Only if you want to..." He said shyly, embarrassed that he feels this way, but somehow he knew this is how children are made...to mate. That hand that is wandering around her waist is being pressed on her tummy, where the child will grow. "This is will get big if we mate..." He warns.
no subject
She lets out a sharp gasp as she feels something hard and aroused against her thigh. "I do but only if you want to with me." This was started to get a bit too heated for her. She knew once the deed is done, nothing will be the same again. She frowns a little at his warning and goes to give him multiple butterfly kisses. "I won't mind but I would want to always be beautiful in your eyes."
no subject
"You are good and you are beautiful. I am happy with you as my mate. I will protect you. You're my family. My family will protect you." He remembers the day he found her. It was a terrible day. Ever since he took her to be a part of his clan, he gave her peace and a home to stay. Is she truly the last heron? One day, even after they make a family and raise children together, he will help her find Serenes...someday.
Seiya kisses her, returning with loving kiss, both warm and hot. He licks her affectionately. "I want to, and only if you want me too. I love you, Leanne. Never want to see Leanne sad. It's very important that you believe." He places a hand on her chest where her heart is while holding her body close to him, embracing her, warming her and assure her there's no fear.
no subject
She can feel the heat in his kiss and felt herself melting into it a little. "I love Seiya... I love you with all of who I am." Her blush deepens as his hand rests where her heart is on her chest. "I am not scared. Especially since it is you, I am not scared." And to prove her point, she gives him both a loving and passionate kiss. "It's okay to claim me."
no subject
He blushed too as he held her in his arms. "Yes, mates. I would like that if you will. And us together, we'll be stronger as a family. I promise you that." Maybe this is for the best, and he'll protect her with and their family with their life. Her original homeland, Serenes, may be lost forever and forgotten as not many remember it, or maybe they will never find it ever again...but she has a place and he provided it, and that place is to be by his side as he needs as much as she needs him.
As he was kissing her, allowing her to melt into his kiss and embrace, his cosmos surround her, making her body feeling warm. "Me too, Leanne. I love you with all of my heart...forever with you." Though despite the tragic loss, she has a home with him, and the future, bright and open, and with such determination, he will provide her. Their routine the same as before, but now it's different. They're mates now, and as for the future children they dreamed of...well, that remains to be seen as he gently claimed her that morning, their combined cosmos glowed brightly as they become one to create a future that will grow within her, as Serenes is never a place, but the magic of her bloodline and the next future generation is, but an ever continuation of rebirth.
