She was with Michéal, he was holding her, his arms were wrapped around her while they talked face to face, they were talking in the very room she now slept in, he ran his fingers through her hair while he listened to her speak
“I can’t believe this is really happening, to think I could be in the arms of a man I love, in such a magical place, it’s all so perfect it can’t possibly be real”
she drawled as she played with the silver buttons on his silk white shirt
“it’s real, nothing can take this from us, this will be our happy ever after”
Michéal smiled reassuringly, Aisling smiled laying her head against his chest blushing with a warm feeling in her heart as she listened to his heartbeat
“I’d like that”
she tenderly declared, she mustered her courage and found her lips forming the words her heart was dying to say,
“I love you Michéal”
she could hear his heart race faster and faster until he replied
“I love you Aisling”
they both became teary eyed with joy as they expressed something truly remarkable something all too real something that would unite them forever, for no force is greater than true love.
“Aisling”
Michéal spoke once more
“as long as I live, you’ll be My Queen, My Goddess”
Aisling lifted her head with a sparkle in her eyes and a smile of delight, she reached up to press her lips against his, this would be there first kiss, their unbreakable expression, a binding seal of their love for one another, when their lips parted Aisling finished his quote
“your inspiration”
the kiss that followed was the most passionate kiss the greatest expression of the truest and deepest form of love the world have ever known.
When they made love that night it was truly magical, the elements flared around them the stars shine brighter and the moon was never as full nor as large any night since then. Aisling placed her hands on his waist curling her fingers to catch handfuls of his silk snow white shirt, lifting it from his body and over his head, dropping it to the floor, she then placed her hands on his broad shoulders, her fingers danced down to his bare chest, his muscles tensing beneath her touch, in return Michéal trailed his hands from the curve of her neck a long her shoulders been sure to remove her bra straps, their eyes never left one another’s gaze, that was until Aisling turned away covered her breasts with her hands and waited for Michéal to unhook her bra. Michéal’s fingers rested on Aisling hips as he took a deep breath to settle his growing animalistic urges, his fingers found their way to the clasp of her bra unhooking it in one quick snap of his fingers; he looked at her neck unable to resist, his lips caressed the slender curve of her neck, her skin was as smooth as silk and warm beneath his cuirass. Aisling moaned with pleasure at his kiss, her hands took her bra away from her chest dropping it at her feet, Aisling felt Michéal’s hand glide around her stomach holding her tight against him, she then leaned her head back to embrace Michéal with a lustful kiss; still holding the kiss Aisling turned to face her prince placing her hand on his cheek while their lips danced with one another, when their lips parted their gaze reconnected with increased passion, Aisling had to take a few moments to compose herself along with a few deep breaths, they smiled boldly in defiance against the gods the peace treaty and all those who would tear them away from one another.
“I don’t want to hide any more, I want to be with you, I want to tell the world I’m in love with you, I want to make love to you, I won’t hide my love for you a day longer”
she announced
“I’m ready to be with you, regardless what happens or others say”
Aisling had set her mind on defying the odds to be with her lycanthrope prince to be with her white wolf, just as he defied the ancient laws of Eiru and the gods will to be with her. Michéal was thrilled yet, afraid, afraid of the repercussions that may fall on Aisling, he had never felt like this for anyone; he had never risked the wrath of the gods for any reason, not once throughout his life, she was to be his first real lover and he wanted more than anything, for her to be his last! Michéal could tell Aisling was afraid also but she was also excited in a strangely indescribable way, with his hands on Aisling’s waist he picked her up allowing her to wrap her legs around his waist and throw her hands behind his neck, clasping her fingers together. She hung in his arms looking at him feeling every muscle beneath her touch tense and strain for release, his eyes could not contain his excitement, she never took her eyes away from him as he lay her on the bed, she bite her bottom lip as his eyes ran all over her beautiful curves, suddenly Aisling turned the tables and overpowered her prince, strengthening the hold her legs had around him, using her powerful legs to manoeuvre him so he was now laying on the bed and she was on top of him. He was restricted in his movement as he used all his might in order to maintain his human form because the animal within was in heat, Aisling released her grip on him standing up on the bed forcing him to watch while she slowly undressed fully knowing he was unable to touch her. For all his might his other worldly power he was barely able to maintain his human form, Aisling, this mortal woman had the prince of all lycanthropes under her seductive spell; she threw her underwear to the floor and lowered herself-back down onto the bed beside Michéal running her finger tips up his body feeling him tremble while her finger tips walked along his body. She stopped her dancing fingers resting her hand in his
“will you be here come morning or is this a dream I’ll wake from wishing I had not”
Michéal asked (Aisling was his drug, his dream that he never wanted to wake from)
“I’ll be right here with you when you wake up, I’ll be with you, always”
Aisling whispered with a smile filled with pride and joy.
Aisling was woken by the suns first light beaming in through the massive open balcony, she awoke more rested then she ever had with hope in her heart and a smile fixed on her face that she wore proudly a smile she would not trade for anything. She remembered, everything, she remembered Michéal, she remembered Eiru, she remembered Noelle, Kian, Finn, Fionn most of all she remembered who she was; finally, her mind was at peace, she had returned home. For Marie however it was not as blissful, her sleep was not as peaceful, with the morning sun came a reality she cursed as a harsh and cruel bitch.
Chapter 7: Beast vs Beast
M arie was the first to fall out of bed only to find newly laid clothes neatly sprawled across the bottom of her bed, they were clearly expensive and made with great care, she didn’t want to be rude and decline such kindness and would be happy to not wear a gown when she was trying to escape Eiru, the clothes would be what the Eiru locals considered casual wear yet to Marie’s eyes they were elegant, with white bra and panties, a black corset to be worn over a white blouse with memory foam plated blue silk leggings complemented with thigh high black boots. She quietly checked to see if her room door was closed the she turned the lock on the handle and raced to grab her new clothes and stood in front of the full length mirror to try them on. She was a giddy as a schoolgirl as she stood in front of the mirror wearing her new outfit and she felt like a pirate or an adventurer from an old book, a good book you couldn’t put down in her new clothes. The clothes seemed slightly heavy once they were on her, but she chalked it down to the fabric or the way they were made; little did she know the clothes she wore were partly armoured, not enough to stop a beast from shredding her apart but enough to take the impact of a bullet or brunt impact of a melee weapon. As she stood before the mirror she could see the clothes she wore appeared to be tailor made just for her, they were a perfect fit and very comfortable, but how did anyone know her measurements? She thought about it briefly but was so happy to be in fresh clean clothes and one step closer to returning home that she decided not to dwell on it for too long.
Aisling woke feeling reborn, she too found she had clean fresh clothes laid out at the end of her bed, Aisling found white and gre
en lace bra and panties a white quarter length jacket, a deep purple blouse, black satin leggings with a white belt that fastened with a large steal crested buckle, her outfit was finished off with black leather ankle high boots. They too seemed slightly heavy once worn and felt to be tailor made just for her; the fitting hugged her curves perfectly while the colour contrast made her truly beautiful eyes twinkle in the sunlight.
Neither Marie or Aisling wouldn’t have long to wait before Noelle’s servants were swarming over them as they did the night before, styling their hair and expertly applying light makeup to perfection before escorting them both from their sleeping chambers to the main hall. Noelle greeted them both at the main hall
“it seems my brother has already taken his leave, allow me to escort you to the emerald bay where you can gain passage back to your homelands”
Noelle exclaimed with mixed emotions,
Noelle’s appearance suggested she was ready for battle as she wore lightly armoured battle regalia that was familiar, it was like something from a television show out of the 1990’s about a warrior princess that Marie was a big fan of, but Noelle was holding no weaponry?
“Are you expecting trouble?”
Aisling asked raising her eyebrows to Noelle’s medieval age attire
“once you are safely on your way, it is my intent to join my brother in finding that traitor”
Noelle replied clicking her fingers to order that the drawbridge be lowered, it lowered with a thud as it struck the ground
“here are your weapons”
Noelle joked
“what about mé Croí?”
Aisling asked looking to Noelle with a playful grin, Noelle stared at Aisling with wide overjoyed eyes, she couldn’t help herself she did a little dance and jumped around before hugging Aisling bouncing and jumping around some more
“Mé Croí?”
asked Marie looking from Aisling to Noelle confused
“it’s Irish, it means my heart, it’s what she always called him, all knew him an enforcer, a prince or as the demonic prince of all lycanthropes, few knew him as Michéal but, only Aisling knew him, as mé croí”
Noelle explained.
“He hasn’t been seen since you left, come, let’s get Marie to the emerald bay we can talk on the way”
Noelle’s voice overflowed with joy and excitement.
She led the two ladies from the safety of castle grey to the town on a fine sunny day.
Outside the castle the town was as bright and cheerful as could be, filled with fairy-tale creatures directly from campfire stories, myth and legend, Aisling could see faces she knew, faces of beasts and Creature she had once called friends, Marie however was scared out of her wits. Centaurs pulled the wagons loaded with crates that were stacked twice as high as the Centaur itself, Minotaur’s worked at their forge next to weedy little Orc’s trying to outdo one another as they sold their wares, ranging from weapons and armour to cart wheels and jewellery and almost everything in between, Witches stood both ugly and pretty selling miracle potions and offering spells for a price, the Golems tended land terraforming and farming, the young gathered around a leprechaun who sat on a rock filling his small pipe while the young listened intently to the stories he weaved; Noelle stood on her toes straining to look into the distance to the horizon and the emerald bay
“I see the women have arrived, mating season is about to start, the ferries must have docked too, come, we need to get you home”
Noelle announced with a bright smile as she took the first step from the castles walls and into the sea of magical disbelief. Marie followed with a fearful disposition and a nervous grin, she had always wanted such beings to be real and now that they were and she was walking among the pages of a living storybook, it was terrifying, incredible, but terrifying. She knew she had no way of defending herself against these creatures should any of them take a disliking to her.
The centaur’s Aisling passed bowed their heads to her and spoke proudly
“good morning lady Aisling”
she felt like she was royalty like she had never left Eiru,
when she passed the leprechaun, the elderly wee man stood up on his toadstool and doffed his hat to her then bowed saying
“you grace us with your presence again my lady”,
when they reached the emerald bay it was a sight to behold, the water in the bay was green as emeralds hence the name, the ships ranged in all size and shapes each one more majestic to the eye then the last and within the waters were massive serpents of different colours swimming alongside the incoming ships,
“it’s hard to believe that no one sees the real magic of this place”
Aisling gasped
“the only visitors that are allowed here are the females that return for mating season, it's better this way, maintains population control and stops us from been exposed to the human world, lycans, males cannot control their hunger like the females can”
replied Noelle proudly while looking around the docks, a grand ship got her eye
“there”
her finger pointed their attention to a magnificent ship, magnificent in size and in grandeur like the world had never seen
“that’s your vessel, it will take you wherever you wish to go”
Noelle told Marie as she took hold of Aisling’s hand tighten her grip.
The peace was not long lived however as the ships docked at the harbour were sent to the bottom of the emerald bay in a blazing inferno caused by two rockets fired from a high vantage point! The explosion knocked Noelle and Aisling from their feet, Marie was standing back far enough not to feel the brunt of the blast only the heat from the blazing fires
“get to cover”
Marie shouted to all those around her as she rushed to Noelle and Aisling. Marie help them both to their feet then they rushed to find some cover at the base of the western mountain that the docks were created from
“it came from somewhere on the cliff to the east, but I can’t see anything with the fire and smoke”
Marie shouted pointing to where she believed the attack came from.
They strained their eyes trying to see through the smoke and fire when briefly thought they could see Captain Quis Podex and Kian standing on the cliff top side by side, Aisling was sure she could see Captain Quis Podex, holding a RPG (rocket propelled grenade) launcher, she was sure that was what he used to blow up the only escape route from Eiru
“game over Noelle”
Kian shouted looking down upon her like she was an insect to be crushed under his boot heel
“Michéal stood in my way once, look what happened to him, I will be King of Eiru, you will bow at my feet or die there”
Kian announced as his cybernetic arm begun to open and reshape into a bolt action styled rifle
“is this because I turned you down, or is it because Michéal surpassed you in every way?”
Noelle replied snarling with a teasing laugh,
“you could have been the mate of a king but, I’ll settle for you been a King’s whore”
he barked, his words dripped with venom
“and where is your Michéal now huh, he died to protect that bastard human you now safeguard and I stand stronger than ever before”
he guffawed as he took aim at Noelle with his rifle shaped arm firing a direct focused energy beam. Noelle quickly dogged the energy blast only to be attacked by Captain Quis Podex, who struck her with his RPG launcher staggering her for a moment, she had no idea how he travelled from the cliff top to the docks in a mere second however, his second attack was unsuccessful, she was too quick for his attacks to strike her without the element of surprise. It was when Kian attacked her as closely as Captain Quis Podex that she began to have trouble avoiding their attacks. Aisling quickly came to her aid, shoulder tackling Captain Quis Podex forcing him away from Noelle and with Marie’s help the former Were Inc soldiers had her former Captain off balance and struggling to catch his breath. Noelle was able to
fight Kian alone and with her quickness she was able to strike and move before he could catch her, it wasn’t long before she had Kian stunted and confused. Once Captain Quis Podex was knocked to the ground he had time to gathering his thoughts and find his bearings, while the two ladies caught their breath giving him long enough to ready himself to fight against his former companions.
“My orders are clear, no one leaves until it’s been tested”
Captain Quis Podex bellowed throwing away his RPG, growing increasingly cocky with a brash smile crossing his face
“I’ll be sure to keep you in fighting shape for the test”
he snarled before taking his battle stance.
He was an expert marksman and a proficient in many fighting styles, Marie was an expert in close quarters combat and Aisling an expert in counter balance combat, Captain Quis Podex would need to rely on his strength to overpower them, if he was to have any real chance of winning the fight. His fist were not fast enough to connect with Aisling, whose powerful shapely legs staggered him with each kick almost breaking his bones when she struck him; Marie hit her mark with each pressure point she touched temporarily shocking his body into a short lived paralyzed state, allowing Aisling more time to do even greater damage with her mighty and curvaceous legs. It wasn’t long before Aisling broke the Captain’s left leg and dislocated his right arm and shattering the bones in his right forearm, he was broken and defeated so the pair began to passé gingerly around him
“You bastard we trusted you, Sheena trusted you, I fucking trusted you, we’ve been through hell together over the years, why are you doing this?”
Marie asked angrily while grinding her teeth
“what was the real mission, Captain”
Aisling asked biting back her rage
“haha not that it matters now but, we were sent to test the project mortal, the previous battle data was inconclusive, the company wanted it to stand against expert soldiers, so I chose you; I chose my team to fight it”
