Electrified by the Eel (Filthy Monster Erotica Book 2)
Page 9
He’d hoped it wouldn’t come to this, but he had no choice. Even if he didn’t survive, he knew in his heart that Luna wouldn’t allow their younglings to perish. He knew just from what little time they had spent together, she would cherish them and care for them for the rest of her life. But in order to do so, she had to live.
“I don’t mean to be rude, but the hell you will!” Luna snapped, turning to face him. Her sharp words stunned him back into silence. Upon seeing his shock, her face softened momentarily before she turned her angry gaze towards the others again. “Veewa, if you don’t mind, I’d like to hear these rules of yours. I’d like to know exactly what I’ve gotten myself into.”
Elar stood there, silently watching the back of her head, her wet tousled hair sticking to her pale skin. She hadn’t even had a chance to dress yet, and here she was, fully nude and standing up to his Matriarch with a ferocity that made him silently beg the Goddess to allow him just a little more time with Luna. To have this be his last memory of her would be cruel.
“That is an acceptable request, since you are unfamiliar with our ways. Each male is to present themselves for breeding during the mating heat, interested females may challenge for the right to take his seed, whichever female wins the challenge gets to breed him. Once the breeding is completed, males go back to their dens until the next heat when we will seek them out again. It has been this way for generations and our way of life must be respected,” Veewa replied, the others nodding in agreement.
“Elar informed me you only have one breeding season a year, is this correct?” Luna asked after taking a moment to consider the information Veewa provided for her.
“Yes, which is why we don’t have room to tolerate anyone or anything that threatens the health and prosperity of our people. If he doesn’t breed, his seed doesn’t strengthen our species.”
“I understand now, thank you.”
Veewa nodded tersely, her eyes watching the others grow impatient.
“So you will release this false claim and leave so that I may breed him?” Laen demanded.
“Ah, no. I’m sorry, but you still can’t have him. Look,” Luna said to Veewa and Laen apologetically. “I appreciate you helping me with Rick. I really do. You saved my life. But according to what you’ve just told me, once a male has been bred, it’s over until next time. Elar and I have been breeding all week. Your heats appear to be over and the right to contest is long gone.”
Elar’s chest puffed in pride at the determined human who bested every other female standing before him. Her flawless claim was true and because of that, it needed to be respected, as per Eelakwian law.
“But she is human,” Laen protested with an irritated snarl. “She cannot claim breeding rights with an Eelakwa.”
Luna crossed her arms, and stared Laen down with a glare so dark, it made the night sky appear bright. “I won’t have you stand in the way of my own breeding heat because you were too late and lost your chance. I was smart enough to find him when none of you did. This male is mine and I’m claiming him. Today. Tomorrow. Next year. Forever.”
“Humans don’t have breeding heats, you said so yourself,” Veewa corrected.
“Yes, what she has said,” Laen said excitedly.
Luna shook her head and shrugged her shoulders. “Clearly, I was wrong, because I haven’t been able to stop taking him over and over and over. Even now, I still want him.”
Elar didn’t even have a second to process the beautiful words coming from her mouth because Laen snarled, enraged and lunged for his mate.
“You will not harm my female nor the younglings she carries,” Elar roared, lunging forward to snatch Luna up in his arms and turning his back to Laen. Her painfully sharp claws shredded through his scales and dug into the tender flesh underneath. It was difficult to counter her attempts to get to Luna while holding his mate, but he would not allow her to succeed. She was too precious to allow harm to come to her. “I am sick of you females only coming to me to slake your needs, then having nothing to do with me afterwards, or refusing me access to the younglings I have sired. Enough of this and be gone from my home. I never wish to see any of you again. But be warned, I will let you leave this time. However, try to punish me or separate me from my mate. Try to hurt her in any way and you will regret it.”
“ENOUGH!” Veewa bellowed with an irritated hiss. Seconds later, Laen was forcibly removed from his back. “You would disown our way of life?” Veewa’s quiet question was more alarming than Laen’s attack.
Still unwilling to turn to face Veewa on the possible chance Luna might get hurt, he didn’t make a move, arms unwavering from his protective hold on her. “What way of life? Living alone? Being pinned and raped for your seed instead of being wooed and courted like in the old days? Abandoning your young as soon as they come forth into this world? That is a death sentence, not a way of life. Why is it so wrong for a male to desire to raise his own if the female does not? Or wanting more than a cold brief mating only during a heat? Why can I not claim a mate and find happiness in her arms and only her arms?”
Elar snapped his accusatory eyes over his shoulders and watched several females hiss until Veewa raised her hand to silence them.
“You have given me much to consider. But first, given the despicable behavior of Laen, who without proper provocation attempted to attack another female after breeding has already taken place…I will accept the human’s mating claim…even as unconventional as it is. As for your other concerns, it is too great of a matter to make a decision on just now. This requires time and careful consideration and I cannot guarantee that I will rule in your favor. Which is why, unless you wish to be banned from the tribe, you had better come up with a plan next year when your female will no doubt receive mating challenges for breeding rights. You are still a young virile male of a healthy line. You have demonstrated great strength today. There will be many who wish to claim you.”
“You could make an exception for Elar,” Luna’s muffled voice peeped through his arms.
Veewa sighed. “Perhaps…perhaps not. It is not a matter that will be decided now and I must put the wellbeing of our people before the desires of a single male.” With a shake of her head, Veewa left Elar and Luna standing alone on the shoreline once again. She and the other females left the lakeside, heading back towards their own dens now that the mating time was over.
Several long moments of silence passed, and even though he knew the female Eelakwas were long gone, he still held onto Luna for dear life.
“Do you truly claim me?” he finally asked, in a quiet but desperately hopeful voice. His arms dropped just enough to uncover her head so he could see her face.
Luna peeked her brilliant blue eyes up at him through her mussed hair. Her face was still red with anger, but he detected some embarrassment in her shy smile as well.
“Luna, please…please tell me. Don’t keep me in the dark here. I heard your words back there. You claimed me. Today. Tomorrow. Next year. Forever. Your words.”
“I don’t know what to say,” she stammered, blushing more deeply than before.
“Say yes. Tell me you truly meant them,” he begged, exposing his vulnerability to the world once again, but most importantly, to her. “Tell me I’m yours, because the moment I took you into my arms, you were already mine.”
Elar could hear the hitching of her breath just as much as he saw the moist glint in her.
“Yes. Yes, Elar. You are mine. Today. Tomorrow. Next year. Forever and always. Mine.”

Luna
“Open your eyes,” he said from behind her as he removed his large hands cupping her face.
Luna did as he asked and gasped in shock when she found herself standing in front of a cute little hut, just beyond the shores of his lake. Filled with excitement, she ran towards the front door, which was a little bit taller and wider—presumably to accommodate her mate—and pushed it open, revealing the interior.
The branches—because plank
s of wood were scarce in this neck of the woods—creaked a little beneath her feet as she stepped inside the empty space, but they fit together well and had been polished smooth under her feet. It was large, not as big as a house, but cozy and big enough to curl up in with her mate, when Elar wasn’t hiding her away in his den.
“I love it,” she said in awe, tears filling her eyes as she turned to face him.
He ducked his head slightly as he entered and puffed his chest up in pride. “I made it myself.”
“Of course you did! No wonder you kept sneaking off all the time! It’s wonderful,” she replied, inspecting the small glassless windows, which without a doubt had the most stunning views of the lakefront. “And this view is better than anything I could ever have in the city.”
“You miss your old home.” His smile flattened.
“I miss some things, yes, like cheeseburgers and chocolate, but look what I have instead,” she said. “I have all this, and I have you. And we have this.” She looked down and rubbed her belly fondly. They didn’t know how many young she carried, but she often swore there had to be at least three kicking her in the ribs at night.
Still, who wouldn’t reminisce about their past? But Luna had already come to terms with hers, and while it sucked no longer having appliances, restaurants, or the internet, she had all she ever wanted right in front of her. Elar, Leara—the smart cat had apparently followed her into the woods and somehow managed to catch up to her—and a small place to call home. It also helped that there was indeed a little town a few miles away that had some basic supplies. All it took was some haggling on Elar’s part and he was able to secure those ‘wares’ he’d been droning on and on about. It was no secret that he’d felt guilty about holding her up in his den without so much as a single blanket, but he made it up with all the small gifts he bartered for her. There was that, and the way he liked to explore every inch of her body when they made love.
Luna shuddered just thinking about his big hands and that thick, hard cock of his. Placing her hands on his scaly chest, she leaned into him. His body was so strong, so masculine, it did things to her. Things that couldn’t be undone, like the wetness she was now feeling between her thighs.
Elar’s nostrils flared slowly and repeatedly.
“I think it’s time to seed you again, just to make sure your belly is well-filled with young.”
The End.
