“This is not what I signed up for. First I battle a demon queen, then dark mages and an army, and now I need to take care of, what, two hundred people? You can’t be serious.”
Sophia looked away, her hands clenched into fists.
“Mister Kane,” the boy said. “We have food, tools and the clothes on our back. Help us get to Homitage. We can settle somewhere near an ore vein, or near the coast. Even a meadow would be good enough. We can farm land. We will build you a city, just give us a chance!” the boy pleaded.
“Oh fuck it. If you people can walk and carry your weight, I’ll escort you, get you some basic things to start out with and you can take it from there. Go tell them that. If they agree, I’ll put you in charge of herding them. Think you can handle the responsibility, little boy?”
The kid nodded frantically and offered me his hand. I couldn’t help but chuckle as I shook it.
“My name is Ian, my lord. I’m looking forward to serving you.”
“Lord? Now that has a nice ring to it. Even though our bond has been broken, I just might stick around if you become a lord,” Lilith teased. Sophia turned toward me, teary eyed.
“Why was it so hard to say yes from the start?”
I sighed and shook my head. Women. I’d never understand them, but I’d sure love them with all my heart.
“Where’s the fun in that?” I asked and winked. Ian was already at it, telling everyone what to do. Soon we’d be under way, but with more questions than answers. I didn’t like that at all.

The procession of people was long and far too slow. There wasn’t enough food to go around, so by day two, hunger and fatigue had set in. What had taken Alpha and me a few hours was now gearing up to be a three-day trek. We sent Lilith out ahead to try and find a nice, secluded place, not too far from Homitage. Luckily, she managed to find the perfect location. An island just off the coast. It was full of game, lush forests, fresh water and had plenty of fish in the sea.
By the middle of the third day, Lilith’s temper began to show itself. She refused to do any more runs, unless she was given someone to eat. Over forty of the stronger men and women had been ferried to their new home, so they could surely prepare at least something for her, before the main group arrived. That was her reasoning, at least.
“I’m not bound to you anymore, my dear,” Lilith said as she stood in front of me, hands crossed and impatience clearly written on her face.
“You’ve said as much about thirty times already. I’m asking you to do this, not ordering it. Besides, weren’t the soldiers’ and the officer’s brain enough?”
“No! I’ve been flying like crazy for the last fifteen hours. You think my power is limitless or something?”
“No, I don’t. I’m sorry, Lilith. Once we’re done with this, we need to go on a long vacation. But eating the villagers, our villagers, is out of the question.”
Lilith scoffed and waved me off.
“Whatever. Al, carry me. I’m too tired to go on. And when I get too tired, I get wrinkles. I doubt you’d want him to see me all wrinkly when he undresses me tonight, would you?” She flashed my wolf a smile and winked, then gave him a scratch behind the ears.
“Whatever,” he replied and knelt, allowing her to get on his back.
“You two need to form a bond already. I’m not in the mood to play messenger,” I said, jealous of the fact that she’d be rubbing her breasts and ass all over my wolf, instead of me.
Nothing of major importance happened, until that evening. We set up camp and then distributed whatever rations we had left. Al hunted down some large game, which the villagers prepared and ate. I wasn’t hungry at all, and declined the offered meat. Lilith didn’t eat meat unless it was raw, while Al wasn’t hungry either.
Sophia came up to us, carrying an improvised bucket of water and a towel. She stood there for a good minute, until I frowned and spoke up.
“Why are you still standing?”
She frowned in turn and scowled at me.
“Do you want me to strip and clean you in front of everyone here? Surely you don’t--”
“Of course he doesn’t. Come,” Lilith interrupted and pulled me to my feet. Sophia followed us some forty feet from the camp, where Lilith used her whip to erect a makeshift wall between the three of us and the rest.
“Al, please stand guard, all right?”
“Whatever.”
I chuckled at his indifference and sat down on a log, but then both women pulled me up again. Lilith’s cold hands took care of my shirt and upper armor, while Sophia undid my breeches and underwear. Somehow, I’d lost my shame and didn’t care about the fact that I was the only one in the nude.
“Please, sit,” Sophia said as she knelt behind me. Lilith, in turn, removed her own armored gown. I hadn’t found a better word for it, so we decided to simply use armored gown. I looked up, into her glowing eyes and roamed the landscape of her body with my hungry gaze. Her two large mounds were heaven. All of her was, all the way down to between her legs. Her clean shaven pussy called for me to take it, to kiss it, to love it.
Cold water slid down my back as Sophia moved her hand up and down slowly, cleaning me. I arched my back and moved away from her chilly touch, but Lilith stepped forward and pushed me back into Sophia. She loomed over me, larger than life and far more beautiful.
“I need you to clean me, master. With your tongue,” she whispered and lifted her leg over my shoulder. Her cleft was mere inches from my face, as nectar dripped down her legs. “Please, do that for me?” she added and put her hands around my head, pulling me in closer. I buried my tongue inside and licked all the way up, as my left hand shot up and entered her, moving up and down patiently.
Her juices coated my finger and hand. Lilith moaned and grabbed my hair with her long fingers and buried my face even farther between her legs. I gasped for air, but she wouldn’t let me move away. I moved my thumb up and pressed it against her clitoris, massaging her as my digit slid inside her, exploring. I tasted her and swallowed greedily as Sophia kept washing my back in silence.
“Do you want me to do your… front?”
“No!” Lilith hissed. “I’ll do that, once he’s done cleaning me!”
I could feel Sophia flinch at Lilith’s reprimand, but she didn’t back down. I loved it. Lilith wasn’t someone to take lightly, but the girl certainly didn’t seem like she’d back down.
“Sure. You can start with my cock, while I clean Lilith,” I said and returned to my duty. After all, I couldn’t expect to be pleasured every time, without at least paying my respects to the women I cared for.
My finger slid in and out rhythmically as my tongue circled her clit.
“You… bastard,” Lilith whispered, as Sophia moved around us and knelt in front of me. Lilith’s pussy was in her way, but she didn’t seem to mind, as she took the wet cloth and washed her first.
“You’re dripping so much down here, mistress,” Sophia said as she looked up at me, eating my demon queen’s wet cunt. Lilith couldn’t take it anymore and pulled me nearly inside her, suffocating me. But I didn’t move. She was heaven in hell. All of her.
Sophia’s wet hands suddenly took hold of my cock, startling me. They started moving at a slow pace, along the length of my arousal, before she took the wet cloth and wrapped it around my shaft. The cold water dripped down, in between my balls, sending shivers up my spine.
Lilith’s muscles tensed up as she began making an even bigger mess of my mouth. Then, she cramped up and let it all go,spraying all over my body. I was glad that the woman I cared for and needed so much had gushed so much, showing I’d pleased her well. Lilith pulled away, embarrassed, leaving both me and Sophia wet and dirty. I didn’t care. Everything that came out of that body was divine, but she wouldn’t have any of it and pulled me up again.
“Sophia, please. Join us in the river,” Lilith whispered. The young woman got up and smiled.
“Sure, mistress. I’d do anything for you.�

I watched the two women as they stepped into the river, their pale skin luminescent in the moonlight. Two pairs of round, perfect globes called me, enticing me to take them. Daring me to enjoy what they had to offer. The corner of my mouth rose slightly as I walked toward them.
Lilith put out her hand and helped me into the water. Sophia splashed us lightly, the moonlight reflecting in the droplets.
“Such a beautiful night,” I whispered and looked up at the sky. “Almost as beautiful as the two of you.”
“What a charmer,” Lilith said as she curled her arm around mine. “Why don’t you relax and let us do everything?” Before I could even reply, Sophia had pushed me over and was moving her hands down my chest. Her head dipped and stopped just before my cock. She traced her tongue from the base of my cock, all the way to the tip, taking all of it into her mouth.
Lilith pressed her chest against Sophia’s ass and leaned on her back while she used her left hand to fondle Sophia’s tits, while the right played with her pussy. I didn’t let her stop and pressed both hands against my servant girl’s head, thrusting my shaft hard and deep, over and over again. She pressed her lips tight around my cock and took it all, however many times I liked, as Lilith fondled her.
“Do you like it?” Lilith whispered as she plunged three long fingers into her tight pussy. “Oh dear, you’ve never even had a cock? Kane! How horrible you are!”
I wasn’t quite listening, as the ecstasy inside me was building up to unprecedented heights. Katya never could take it in all the way, while Lilith chose not to, I guessed. Sophia, however… I could feel her throat around my dick and it was amazing. My demon queen slapped my hands away and pulled Sophia off me. Tears were rolling down her cheeks, tears I hadn’t seen as I had kept ramming into her.
“I don’t mind,” she said weakly and looked away. “I want to serve you. Both of you.”
“Take her as a man should a woman, not like a beast would. You can do those things with me, but I’d ask you to refrain from… using a weak willed woman like her in such a way.”
My cock became even harder at the thought of taking Lilith as hard as I could, force it down her throat and hurt her. She was a demon after all, and she’d like it. Yes, at the first opportunity I’d do her so badly.
“I’m sorry, Sophia. I don’t know what came over me and--”
“Shhh!” she whispered and held a finger in front of her lips. “You’ve done nothing I wouldn’t have… allowed you to do.”
“I see. Can I take you now? Lilith said you’re still… a virgin. If you want to wait for someone who might be the one, I don’t mind.”
Sophia beamed with pride, but nodded and looked to Lilith.
“If that’s alright with you, mistress. I would never dream of giving myself to him without… your blessing.”
Lilith roared in amusement, but nodded appreciatively.
“Very well, little girl. Try to keep up with me.”

“You three are disgusting,” Alpha said as he got up. I could see and feel his discomfort, but I didn’t care.
“Once we find a big enough wolfette for you, I’ll be the one keeping guard so you can do whatever you want with her in turn.”
“Hmpf! As if I need you to find me a soul mate!”
I sighed and got out of the water, joining both Lilith and Sophia as they dried each other off. Never in my life had I imagined that a woman like my demoness might take a liking to someone. Maybe she had been taken in by the girl’s innocence and willingness to serve?
“Master, let me help you,” Sophia offered and stepped up to me. She produced a dry towel out of nowhere and dried me off slowly, as Lilith looked at us.
“Thank you, Sophia. Go find your brother and have him tell everyone that they have four hours to rest up. I want to be done with this by tomorrow.”
“I will do so right away,” she replied and ran off past Alpha. Within a heartbeat, she disappeared into the darkness of the night.
“Finally,” Lilith said as she laid on the grass. “We’ll be staying here, right? I don’t want to mix with the commoners, especially not with our subjects.”
“And here I was thinking you might have had a change of heart, and become a nice person, instead of the cold warrior queen.”
“Whatever. Do you want to hear what the officer knew? There was quite a lot of juicy information in his mind.”
I turned to Lilith and cursed, having totally forgotten what she’d said earlier about the officer and his brain.
“Yeah I do. Why didn’t you tell me about this sooner? I’d forgotten all about it!”
Lilith spread out on the grass and crossed her legs. There was something about her, that, no matter what she did, made me yearn for her badly. As if I’d been put under a spell to worship her, or something similarly dangerous.
“Come lie down next to me. I’ll transfer everything I’ve learned directly into your mind, all right?”
I nodded and laid beside her. A sharp pain drew my gaze to her. She’d bitten my hand and had left two holes in it, blood trickling slowly down, into my palm. I frowned and looked at it, but Lilith chuckled and shrugged, then did the same with her own hand.
“Drink my blood, and I’ll drink yours. We will be out of it for a minute or two, so don’t worry about what comes next.”
I nodded and pressed my lips against her palm. Her cold blood slid down my throat like it was mead. A jolt of energy hit me as Lilith did the same, and sent me off into lala land.
A massive Kravnian army camp appeared before me. Thousands of soldiers, cohort after cohort, were arrayed in front of a grandstand. A woman and a man stood beside a golden throne, decorated with silk and gems.
The soldiers around me were all clad in black mail armor, the same as the ones we had killed earlier. But how was I here? How was I able to see all of this?
“Rafan?” a voice to my right said. I turned toward it and frowned.
“What? We’re about to begin,” I replied, reprimanding the man. It was a soldier, but clad in slightly different armor. It was a hybrid between a robe and more substantial armor. Was that what the mages had been wearing?
“I don’t trust that woman. She’ll be the death of us, you hear me?”
“We’ve already talked about this three times now. If our emperor orders us to go forth, we shall do so.”
“Even if it means our deaths?”
“Yes! Even then!”
I could feel Rafan’s emotions boiling inside him. Or, rather, inside me. He wasn’t happy about this, at all, as he thought about his wife and three daughters. If he died, they would probably be killed off for his incompetence. But that’s where the woman came in, right? To save him and his soldiers?
“I don’t want to die,” the other man said, and pulled down his hood. “I’m too young to die.”
“Fall in line!” a man called from the stand. His helmet was embroidered with feathers and silk. Was he an officer?
Rafan and the man beside him straightened up and stood in formation. A burly, fat man walked up to the throne and sat down on it, waving a helper off. His large mustache and thick beard said it all. The only Kravnians allowed to facial hair like that were royalty. But was he the emperor or someone else?
“Today, our invasion of the neighboring kingdoms begins! The cohorts present will have a single goal. Sow chaos and burn down everything in your path. However, one of you will get to help our empire with a special mission. The officer who has been assigned this task is Rafan Molgai.”
My heart threatened to burst out of my chest, or Rafan’s did. But the feeling was so real. His eyes closed for an instant and everything went dark. Bright light assailed his eyes a moment later, as he woke up in a tent, opposite the same burly man and the two hooded figures from before. I focused on the smaller of the two and recognized the robe.
“Rafan. You will take Cassandra Hawkern with you for protection. There’s something she’s looking into as well, so if luck
is on your side, your cohort will be back fairly quickly. She is a helper only by name, but you will follow her orders, unless she allows you to do as you see fit.”
“Yes, my lord. But this Cassandra, isn’t she one of the two dark mages? Why would she have any need of us?”
The burly man laughed and motioned for Rafan to come closer.
“You, Rafan, are a meat wall. Or your soldiers are. I’d prefer it if you came back to me. Good generals are hard to come by.”
“My lord. Your wish is my command. Lady Cassandra Hawkern. My soldiers are your soldiers.”
Everything turned dark once more, before the image shifted to the raid of Ithice. Death and destruction, carnage and blood, fire and brimstone. Screams and the wails of the dying. I tried to turn away, but I couldn’t, as I was seeing what Rafan had seen.
“Rafan,” the woman named Cassandra said, as she walked up to him. “I feel a very strong presence to the south. They should be here within the hour. Separate the slaves from the soldiers. If we survive, we can always round them up again if they end up fleeing during battle.”
“My lady Cassandra. As you wish,” Rafan replied. I could feel the rage in him, at having to take orders from a woman, and from another kingdom at that. But he would be loyal to his emperor and his empire, above all else.
Idiot, I thought to myself. Look where that loyalty got you.
“Rafan,” the same young man from earlier said as he walked up to him. “Where do we go once we’re done here?”
“Their nearest major town. It’s quite a fortress, but we have lady Cassandra and you mages as well. So there’s nothing to worry about, my friend. Why the worry?”
The young man looked away, fear apparent on his face.
“I’m afraid. If there’s twelve mages in this cohort, and the foreigner as well, just who might the opponent be? Don’t you want to know?”
