Lupercalia ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Disclaimer: there are scenes of blood and sacrificing a feral goat in this story, you have been warmed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Agnus was running through the forest, jumping over the falling branches and leaving hoofmarks on the ground. He couldn't hear his pursuer, but didn't dare look back, as he could sense that he still hadn't escaped. He tripped over a particularly slippery mud puddle, his hooves suddenly givin in under him, as he feel backwards, hitting his rump on the hard earth. He took a moment to rub his hurt puffy tail as he got up, ready to start running once again, but just before he could make another step, a black shadow tackled him, shoving through the bushes and falling on the grass as the lamb boy screamed. Of course, he scream turned into joyus laughter as he stopped rolling, his back against the ground as he looked into the green eyes of his pursuer, the black wolf laying on top of him with a smug grin on his beautiful face. "Caught you once again, little lamb" growled the wolf. "You sure did, dear wolf" replied the lamb, giving a hushed moan as the wolf on top of him leaned towards him and gave playful bites along his neck. "Can't wait for tomorrow" continued the wolf, as he moved off of him and offered him his paw. "Yeah" said the lamb, taking the wolf's hand and getting up from the ground. As they both walked all the way back to the temple, the little white furred lamb couldn't stop thinking about the celebrations that would take place the following day, as they both were finally 15 years old, they would participate on this years rituals of Lupercalia, were they celebrated and prayed for the Great Faun Lupercus to bless then with fertility, rains and great crops. Because of this, the pair had been practicing chasing each other through the forest, which was the most important part of the ritual, when both lovers enjoyed the thrill of the hunt before embracing each other, bringing fertility to the land. Even though Agnus had known Lupus for a long time, both of them having been great friends from their earlier days, they hadn't truly known how deep the bond between them was, until very recently, when the wolf confessed to the lamb just a moon ago, so this would be their first time together and both of them were really nervous, even though Lupus hid it better than the lamb. The main worry of the lamb, was that the pairs of the rituals were chosen by luck, meaning that it was uncertain if both of them would be together, so Agnus had been praying to the Great Faun everynight, hoping that they could be together. As the sun set, both of the boys reached the temple, walking hand in hand until they finally separated, each cub walking to their respective room and trying to sleep, but they were to excited thinking about what awaited tomorrow, so none of them actually slept that much that night. And even once the sun rose, they still were distracted, their minds focused elsewhere as they went through their usual rutines and made sure the preparatives for the celebration were going on smoothly. The elders of the temple had to call them out many times throughout the day, but thei didn't punish them to harshly, as they knew that all the temple younglings would be feeling very nervous as the night got closer. Finally, the 20 younglings of the temple who would take part of this year rituals, where gathered at the temple gates, all the cubs dressed in white tunics and surrounding the main altar where the 7 chosen Lupercos priests awaited dressed in white tunics and wearing horned wolf shulls over their heads. As the full hunter moon rose over the temple stones, two priest walked towards the centre of the altar, placing a feral male goat over the sacred stone. The main priest walked onward, as the other Lupercos started intoning an armonious chant, two of them playing the drums as the priest unsheathed the sacred blade of the Great Faun, an artifact said to have been given by the Great Faun himself to the temple. Whem the chant reached it's peak, the priest used the knife to cut through the goat's neck, four priests collecting the blood in basins as the chant finished. Then, the main priest called onward each one of the younglings, and marked their fronts with the blood, before another priest wiped the stain with wool dipped in goat's milk, marking them with the blessing of the great faun and initiating them into the rituals of Lupercalia. As a final step, the priest ordered all the cubs to take off their tunics, all of them standing naked, as the priests gave leather straps to half the younglings, Lupus included, starting the next part of the ritual, as the cub's followed each other, all of them laughing as half of them tried to dodge the playful lashes the others gave them, until the moon reached it's peak in the sky, the priest clapping their hands to signal the end of this part of the ritual. An acolyte entered the sacred circle, a bag in hand that he gave to the main priest. Then each one of the cub's that had been given a leather strap were called to be given a wolfskin to wear over his head and chest, before taking a wooden tile from the bag, bearing the name of their pair, who was given a woolen belt. Agnus couldn't deny the knot in his stomach as he saw Lupus step forward and wear the wolfskin, his name still hadn't been called, so perhaps there was still a chance that they wiould be together. As he saw the wolf put his hand inside the bag, the lamb closed his eyes, silently praying to the Great Faun as he anxiously waited for the name to be called. After a few moments that seemed like an eternity, he finally heard Lupus speak loudly, his voice filled with confidence as he pronounced the name on the tile "Agnus!" claimed the wolf loudly, as if he wanted the forest, the moon and the Great Faun himself to hear his joy. The lamb almost jumped with joy as he saw Lupus walk towards him, belt in hand, and almost couldn't resist kissing the boy right there as the wolf walk around him, tying the belt over his soft lithe frame. Once the ten pairings were made, the priest led the cubs towards the palace gates and placed them in line, the lamb of the pair being first, while their wolf was behind them, the orange glow of torches marking the path towards the forest. The priests pllayed their drums once and the lambs started running, their bodies quickly disappearing into the thickness of the forest. Agnus run as he had done many times before, dodging a low hanging branch as he heard the sound of the drums once again, signalling that the wolfs had started chasing and the beggining of the hunt. The hand could feel his heart pounding in his chest as he instinctively jumped over the fallen logs, his hooves trailling the paths only the animals of the forest knew. Even the sound of the drums got weaker as he got deeper inside the forest, reaching a small clearing in the forest. The lamb suddenly stopping to contemplate the beauty of the place he had found. Hidden in the forest was a small patch of white flowers, protected by a thick wall of bushes that spread towards the sky forming a green dome of leaves over the clearing, dotting the ground with beams of starlight. The small space filled with fireflies that dotted the clearing with their flickering lights. It was while the lamb was captivated by the beauty and intimacy of this clearing, that he felt someone tackling him from behind, Agnus ending on the ground once again in the same position as he had been the day before, his wolf friend laying on top of him. No words were said as the wolf leaned in, hungrily pushing his lips against the lamb's, his tongue trying to find its way inside the other boy's mouth. Agnus parted his lips and let that prodding tongue explore the inside of his mouth as he gave in to the kiss, his own appendage joining the wolf's as they tasted each other in the privacy of that hidden place, that seemed like it had been made just for them. Both cubs laid there, simply enjoying the mutual feelings as they kissed, their passion igniting a flame inside of them. Agnus then noticed something poking against his belly, he hadn't notice, but he had gotten really excited by their embrace, his 4 inches of humanoid dick rock hard as it rubbed against the wolf's sheath, half of the canid dick already poking out and the tip rubbing against the lamb's soft fur. Agnus then parted their kiss and softly pushed Lupus away, the wolf giving him a confused look that turned into a hungry grain when he saw the lamb turning over to lay on all fours, his puffy tail raised to show the other boy his soft, round cheeks, and the pink pucker that hid between them. The wolf got closer to the lamb as he licked his lips, before shoving his snout down on that perfect ass, Agnus shivering as he felt the cold nose of the wolf tease his pucker before giving soft moans as Lupus teased his ring with his tongue, lapping away at his entrance. The wolf loved the taste of that gorgeus tailhole and he wanted more, grabbing the other boy's cheeks with his hands, Lupus spread his ass and pushed his tongue against that tight ring, the pucker resisting for a little bit before Agnus relaxed, letting the wet appendage worm its way inside of him as he huffed. The lamb whimpering softly as he felt that tongue digging inside of him, spreading his hole as it reached all the pleasurable spots inside of him, making the boy feel waves of pleasure that made him pant wildly. Once he was satisfied with his thorough rimming, the wolf pulled his tongue out of that hole, that gripped tight on it as if not wanting to let him go. Agnus only had a moment to feel empty without that amazing tongue inside of him, until he filled the tip of something bigger and hotter poking at his entrance, Lupus deciding to finally claim his mate as he slowly but surely pushed his 6 inches of canine dick inside of the lamb. Agnus felt a small jolt of pain when his ring gave in to the pressure, a pain that was shut down by the strong wave of pleasure that rocked through him, as his ass stretched around the hard rod spearing him. The lamb gave a loud moan as Lupus kept pushing, shoving inch after inch inside his tight tailhole until his knot was resting against his ring, the wolf getting on top of the lamb as he panted hard, giving a few playful licks to the other boy's cheek. Lupus gave the lamb a few moments to get used to his girth as he had been taught, before pulling out, slowly getting his meat out of Agnus tight pucker, until only the tip was left inside the boy. The lum huffing as he felt the wolf's cock pull out of him, before giving a suprised bleat when the wolf thrusted, shiving his meat all the way inside the boy. Both boy's feel into a wild rythm, mating like dogs in heat as the wolf gave poweful thusts, pulling all the way out before shoving all of his dick right back inside the lamb, who was left a panting and moaning mess as each poweful push shoved the tip of that canine dick right against his prostate, making the cub see stars as his mind was numbed by the sickening pleasure. Both boy's spent all the night mating, the small, hidden clearing filled with the wet sound of their sex, the huffs and pants from the wolf and the loud moans and whimpers coming from the lamb. Agnus couldn't stop himself as he moved one of his paws towards his nethers, his soft hand grabbind his dick as he pawed off roughly, making his pleasure even stronger and bringing him closer to the edge, a tension growing in his loins that ached for release. Lupus was not to far off himself, as his thrust grew slower as he tried to shove that final part of his dick through the tight ring, the wolf being right on the edge but still needing that little extra to step over it. As the wolf pants and whines grew more desperate, Agnus could feel his ring giving in to the preasure, aided by the ample amount of pre the wolf was letting out inside of him and finally, with a loud "pop" that could be hared throughout the small clearing, the wolf's knot slipped inside the lamb. Agnus moaned hard as he felt that knot stretching his hole to its limits, pushing against his prostate as he came, his dick spurting his seed all over the flowers beneath him. Meanwhile, the wolf could feel the spasmic contractions of the lamb's orgasm tightening all over his dick, that incredible feeling being enough to bring him over the edge, Lupus howling into the night as he spilled his seed inside his lover. Exhausted, both boys laid down on their sides, Agnus still feeling the powerful throbs of that canine dick inside of him as it shoot rope after rope of wolf seed inside his belly, making the lamb feel warm as sleep took him, Lupus falling asleep not to long after. When sunrise came, signaling the end of the celebration, it found both boys still laying down on that clearing, the wolf having wrapped his arms tightly against the lamb, as the both slept, feeling safe in each others embrace.
