My father and Lord McCloud, Uncle Angus to me, had been good friends from before he had ever met my mother here in Scotland. This year my parents decided to holiday in England.. And well I had no desire to be at court with Henry or his preconceived notions that my father was going to give me to him in marriage. My father being Italian and not being one to conform to the way things were supposed to be. Has promised me that he would not wed me off to some greedy, pox ridden drooling man. He had told me that he wished me to marry for love as he and my mother did almost 25 years ago. I cannot believe that come next month they will have been married so long. I hope I am as happy as they are when I marry. The trip has been a long one, but I have enjoyed the solitude. No hustle of the city I am glad to be going to Uncle Angus’s I cannot remember a time when it was not a happy place for me to go. I remember when I was a little girl and father would say we were going to Scotland.. I would run to my room and start packing. Coming here was always special to me. It was the one place I could run around without being hovered over. No nanny, mother, father and no brother, Antonio, just the land and me. Aunt Heather was a wonderful woman as well, she and uncle Angus had been married as long as mama and papa had been if not longer. There was only one other person there and that was Duncan Patrick McCloud. He was their son and the most I remember about him was his eyes. Duncan had the bluest eyes. I remember whenever I was there he was there, except once, I believe that was the only time. I was totally dismayed that he was not there with me. Duncan and I were inseparable. I have not seen Duncan in ten or more years. As he was off at school and in the military, like Uncle Angus had been. I have written him over the years. Of all my friends that I correspond with, Duncan has always been the one I cannot forget to write, he writes me back faithfully. A brother and sister could not be as close as we are. I am writing this as the carriage makes its way over the green hills of Scotland. I know I am only half Italian and half Scott. But it feels like home here. The closer I get the faster my heart beats, I am anxious to be there already. I know that there will be rain and I cannot wait to take a walk in the warm rain and sit by the Loch and watch the sun set. The colors in the sky after it rained were the most beautiful skies I have ever seen. I can see the manor house, it will not be long now and I will be home, my second home. It feels wonderful to be here. Uncle Angus and Aunt Heather look grand.. I feel like a little girl again.. Dinner will be soon. I must go and change into something a bit more fitting, still no sign of Duncan. Maybe he will not be here. I will be saddened if he cannot be there.. Lady Revali stepped from the black and gold gilded coach with help from the coachmen. Her eyes fell upon the home she had spent many years at as a child. She entered the foyer and was greeted by Steven. He had been there as long as Castalena could remember. He was a young man of 12 when she was only 6. He was a houseboy, but now he was her Uncle’s all around good guy. She remembered coming here every summer and seeing Steven grow up as she grew. Steven now was 34, maybe older she could not be sure. But the one thing she did know was Steven was her Uncle’s confidant in most every matter, he was highly trusted and her uncle did not give his trust easily. “Greetings Miss Castalena” he said as entered the house. He helped her with her cloak and the coachmen began to bring her things in. “M’lord and Lady are in the sitting room waiting” he explained to her. Castalena smiled and walked to the sitting room. “Uncle Angus, Aunt Heather, I’m home!” she yelled to them with a giggle in her voice, just as she had when she was a child. As she bellowed so un-Lady like, her Uncle came around the corner of the door way and opened his arms lovingly. Well Castalena could not help but run into his arms and hug him like a daughter would her father.. Angus hugged her with such delight and love. He picked her off the floor in his great bear hug. Angus was Six feet plus. So it was no wonder she came off the floor. She giggled just as she had done time and time again. Aunt Heather chided her husband. “Put the child down before ye break her in two Angus” she said. “Aunt Heather” she smiled and said as her Uncle put her down. Castalena went and hugged her Aunt lovingly. Castalena whispered in her aunts ear ”Tis good to be home.” Aunt Heather smiled as she hugged her niece “Tis good to have ye home Lass.” She said. ”Ye must be tired lassy” Said Angus. “Nae uncle, I am fine really” protested Castalena. “Ye room be ready as always dear heart. “ came the loving tones from her aunt. The next few hours were spent in idle conversation about her parents and such. Her Uncle asked if the rogue Henry had withdrawn his desire to marry her. “Nae Uncle, He still persists. Father has told him nae more times then I care to count.” She commented as she sipped some tea. “Bloody ‘ell when will that whelp take no for an answer!” Angus growled. “Calm ye self Angus, ye will burst a blood vessel.” Her Aunt’s soothing words came. But her uncle would not be calmed by words he had enough of Henry Colinsforth and his relentless pursuit of his goddaughter/niece. If he would have seen the bloody man who was not only almost ten years Castalena’s senior, he was also a money hungry, foul tempered, brigand of a noble. Angus could not stand the man at all. He tried to avoid him at all costs but then, there were those times when he had to bite his tongue and play nice. As his wife would say. “Damm Man!” her Uncle yelled his huge hand slamming on the side table. This caused Castalena to jump slightly; she had never seen him so angry. She wondered why he hated Henry so much but she was not about to question him now. Her Aunt went to her husband and placed a slender hand to his cheek and smiled, as only she could, the beauty and the beast, the beast of rage. She could sooth his rage with but a gentle stroke of her hand. Castalena rose from her chair and walked to them. “ I think I will go for a walk, it is such a lovely day.” she told them both. Her Uncle caressed her cheek and she smiled. ”Tis alright Uncle Angus do not let him bother you, he bothers me not.” She kissed his cheek and walked out to the balcony, which lead to the gardens. And the forest beyond, past that was the loch. It would take her a fair amount of time to walk to the Loch but she loved the walk. It was summer and the sun was out and it was warm. Not typical Scottish weather. As Castalena walked on she picked wild flowers and put them in her hair. She was glad to be home, there was no other smell like the forest or the Loch. She walked on till she came to a small clearing where she could sit upon an outcropping, which over looked a grassy spot where a willow tree stood. Much to her surprise she happened to see what she thought were two naked people swimming in the loch. She shook her head and dismissed it, thinking it was but an image that played on the waters glassy surface. Castalena laid back on the rocks and gazed at he blue sky dotted with wisps of thin white clouds that seemed to just gently caress the blue background where they hung. As she lay there with her eyes fixed on a passing cloud she heard the sounds of a woman laughing. She picked her head up and looked around and there below her not far were the two people she thought she had seen in the lake. A woman was being chased by a young man around the willow tree below. They were both NAKED! Castalena could not believe her eyes! She tried to stay out of sight as to not call attention to herself. She watched as they played and laughed. The young lad cornered the lass against the tree. Her chest was rising and falling as she tried to catch her breath. Castalena could see the definitions of each body. The lass had chestnut colored hair that fell wet to her body it came past her shoulders. Her skin was fair, light in tone as most Scots were. She had a pleasant body to look at. She could see why the young lad wished to be with her. She had well-rounded breasts a tiny waist and long legs. Things men admired in women. As Castalena looked at the lad she was shocked to see that he had a erection that could have killed a cow! His manhood had to be at least eight, if not more, inches long and about four inches in girth. She found herself gaping. He was hung like a bull for breeding. The man reached out and pushed some of her wet hair back behind her shoulder so as to expose her full breasts to his hungry gaze. He trailed his finger over the warm skin, till his finger came to rest on her nipple where it made tiny circles till she suspected the lass’s nipples were hard. Castalena bit her bottom lip, these two could not be thinking to, out here! Her mind filled with shock, as she could not believe this couple was going to have at each other right under the tree. The lass arched her back which thrust out her breast against his teasing finger. The lad smiled and leaned in and began to kiss her neck. She could see the lass cock her head to the side leaving him a clear path of her throat to kiss and nibble on. Castalena swallowed hard. She really should have turned away but she seemed stuck, frozen where she was watching this blatant display of lust. The couple had not noticed her, or they did not seem to care that she was watching them. The lad grabbed her left breast in his hand and began to massage it while his mouth made its way down her throat to her breastbone then lowering his head further, he took the taunt nipple in his mouth and began to lick and suck on it. This made the lass moan. Castalena felt her heart begin to beat a bit faster as she watched on. She could not stop watching. The lad’s hands went behind her and grabbed both globes of her ass and pulled her closer to him. He must have said something funny cause all of a sudden the lass burst out laughing. The lad picked the lass up and she wrapped her legs around his waist and he carried her to the blanket. There he laid her down on her back, her legs still wrapped around him. He lowered his head and let his mouth suck in one of her nipples again. Then he used his hand to taunt the other one. “Ohhh, yes!“ she heard the lass exclaim as he went from one nipple to the next seemingly driving her into a lather. Castalena could feel her body churn as she watched on, her eyes fixed on the couple. The lass dropped her legs from his waist and he leaned back. His cock was standing straight out pointing at her. He began to stroke it slowly. The lass licked her lips… ‘My, my what a big cock ye have, what ye plan’n tae do wit it lad?” she asked. “I plan tae make ye scream like a wail’n banshee lass, make ye scream.“ he replied. He lowered himself down to her. Her legs fell further apart giving him more room to move. He pressed the hot blood filled head of his cock to her waiting slit. The slightest touch of his made her lift her hips to meet him. He eased the tip of his throbbing manhood into her. She gasped as he began to push deeper into her quivering wetness. Castalena felt her skin begin to heat, just watching the couple was enough to wake the fire in her. She was getting excited by watching, when in all reality, she should be turning away and leaving. The lad began to pump into the lass with long full deep strokes making her writhe under him. “Harder! Aye, harder!” she could hear the woman yell. Her voice filled with lustful tones. Without a second thought the lad slammed into her with a great force then the girl arched her back off the ground lifting herself into his pounding strokes. Castalena could feel her heart race, she could not believe her eyes. He was fucking this young woman right in front of her, not more than twenty yards or less from where she was sitting. Well that she was laying down so she could not be seen at all at a fast glance. She watched as the woman’s body moved with every deep stroke the lad sunk into her quivering whole. He grabbed her hips and held her to him. His thrusts became faster and harder, almost animalistic but she begged him not to stop. Her moans and cries of passion echoed over the loch with a eeriness that was captivating. He began to grunt harder and pant, like a wild beast. With a shock to her body Castalena felt her own slit begin to quiver and throb, harder as she took in a sharp breath and slowly closed her eyes. But they flew open when she heard the lass scream. When she looked the girl had been flipped to her stomach and he was taking her in the animal fashion. He rammed into her with such great force that the lass’s body rocked back and forth. Castalena could have sworn she could feel it from where she was. The lad bent over her and gabbed a hold of her swinging breasts and his hips bucked against hers in short hard jerking deep moves. “AYE!” she could hear the lass scream. He was pounding the hell out of her and she was screaming for more and in absolute ecstasy. Castalena was still a virgin but she was no dummy when it came to knowing about sex. Her best friend back in Italy was well versed in the art. And had told Castalena all about it. But for herself she was waiting, saving herself for the right man, for only that man. Her moment of thought was shattered by the lass’s next volley of words. “Aye! Fo’uk me like the beast ye be. Fill me with ye hot seed” came the lass’s hot words. As if those words were some sort of signal the boy reared back and grabbed her hips and as if he could have gotten any deeper into the girls seeping pussy he slammed his way harder, as hard as he could. Castalena felt her own pussy soaked and throbbing as if she was about ready to cum with the couple she was watching. Within seconds of the lass’s begging words the lad grunted and groaned and yelled. The lass thrashed in his vice-like grip as her orgasms washed over her like an earth pounding herd of beasts. Their voices joined in an erotic combination of passion, lust and ecstasy. That was enough to push Castalena over the edge. Her pussy exploded merely watching the two. She shuddered as she bit back her own moans, she could not believe she had been so affected by this. She knew it was wrong to watch such carnal acts but she could not stop herself, she was mesmerized. She watched as the lad jerked his hips more as if he was giving her every last drop of his seed and she bucked back at him gladly accepting it. Afterward they both collapsed on the blanket. They lay there close to each other; she could tell he was still buried up to his balls in her pussy. It was like they were locked like that and they were glad to be like that. She could see the lass’s pleased and contented smile on her face. The lad’s arm came over her ribs and grabbed the blanket and he covered them both. He kissed the side of her head and cuddled her close. It was the most erotic and most loving thing she had ever seen in her life. She felt her body shiver as her own orgasms subsided, her skin was burning and flushed. She was finally able to break her gaze away from the couple and she scooted back and climbed off the outcropping and quietly walked away. As she walked she could not get the image of the couple out of her mind. How passionate and erotic they were and how loving he was when he covered them both and held her to him. Her heart started to calm then as she walked but her reverie was broken by the sound of something behind her. She snapped her head around to see what was behind her. She was taken aback to see a wolf looking at her from a small clearing in the forest not more then fifteen feet from her! He was black as pitch and his eyes were piercing blue. Blue? A wolf with blue eyes? She stood there shocked she could not move she was too frightened. Her chest began to heave and her breathing became erratic. Castalena could not move, its eyes captivated her. Those striking eyes, they seemed to look right into her very soul. The wolf began to stalk toward her, Castalena took a slight step back slowly she was not sure what she could do. She could not out run the wolf so she hoped if she just stayed calm it would get bored with her and leave. Her Uncle had always told her never try to run as they would chase and leap at you as if you were something they were hunting. Wolves were excellent hunters and hardly ever missed their quarry. As she slowly stepped back the wolf came forward in slow well-placed steps. Castalena kept her eyes locked on the wolf, in the case it leapt at her she would try and defend herself somehow. As she stepped back she did not see the fallen tree behind her. She stumbled backward letting out a shriek. Her rear hit the cold hard forest ground with a hard smack. For what seemed only a split second she was looking at the sky then before she knew it she heard the breathing of something at her feet she slowly sat up and saw that the wolf was glaring down at her. In the short moment in which she flew he had managed to cover the ground between them. Castalena moved her arms and legs backwards in a effort to scoot away from the wolf. He watched her, he could sense she was scared but she did not show it. She kept a calm exterior, even though her breast rose and fell with every deep breath she took. She took a fast gasp of air when her back came in contact with a tree and she was stuck between it and the wolf that was stalking toward her. His head was down and his ears slightly laid back. He was not snarling or growling but he was still intimidating. Watching the wolf stalk closer her breath became more ragged and her heart began to race, she felt as if it were going to beat right out of her chest. She keep her hand flat to the ground and her legs were cast out in front of her. Her dress skirt was gathered up around her thighs leaving her calves exposed. They were clad in silk white ladies stockings and a garter holding each one up about her thigh. She dared not move for the mere fact that now the wolf was upon her. His head was at her feet. Slowly it began to sniff its way up her leg. She knew what it was doing and she stayed absolutely still. He began to move higher and higher up her legs sniffing as he went. His hot breath caressed her legs as he exhaled. She began to get worried when his head got dangerously close to her upper thigh. She knew that wolves and other such animals were drawn to the scent of females and it would trigger the desire to mate and she knew that her womanhood was drenched from her excitement. Suddenly she froze with fright as his muzzle nudged against her soaked crotch. What seemed like forever his nose stayed there inhaling her scent then he continued his trek up her body. His head came level with her heaving chest; his breath was hot and moist as he exhaled on her bare skin, in a surprising move the wolf slid his raspy tongue over her shivering flesh. Castalena could feel the rough dog-like tongue drag over her hot skin. She could not believe what the wolf was doing. Was it tasting her? No, she thought it could not be. She closed her eyes tight as she thought this would be the end that for sure he was about to rip her throat out and rip her to shreds. But to her surprise he nuzzled her neck instead. She heard what she could only describe as a soft growl but not a threatening one. She slowly opened her eyes, and she was amazed to find the wolf was resting its head on her. Slowly and with great care she reached up and ran a trembling hand into its thick fur, it was soft and warm, its long strands slipped into and past her fingers with ease. She began to calm some as she got the feeling he was not going to rip her to tiny bits. Not a second later as she was petting him his head came up with a jerk, his head swung around and he seemed to be looking for something, there it was coming closer to them. Yet another wolf, this one was brown in color with dark sinister looking eyes. Its muzzle was upturned in a snarl and he was growling. The black wolf’s hair rose and his ears lay back to his head, he stood in front of Castalena as if he was protecting her. But that was not possible. The black wolf leapt at the brown wolf and the fight ensued. In that moment she bolted up and began to run she ran through the forest as fast as she could, her dress hiked up around her knees giving her ample leg room to run. A Scottish Werewolf's Love Ch. 1 Suddenly a hulking body stopped her. She slammed into it like hitting a wall. She struggled against the huge hands that held her arms keeping her from falling. “LET GO OF ME!” she screamed as she struggled. ‘Bella mia” he said. Castalena flipped her head up and there to her joy he stood. It was Duncan! Her Duncan! A Scottish Werewolf's Love Ch. 2 "Bella mia" he said. Castalena flipped her head up and there to her joy he stood. It was Duncan. Her Duncan! Duncan smiled down at her, his eyes sparkled in the daylight. Castalena took a deep breath and sighed. "Tis only you" she panted slightly "Bella mia, what be ye problem" he asked her in his soft yet deep voice. His skin was bronze from working out in the sun. Unlike his kinsmen he was darker in skin tone like his father. Both were unusual for Scotsmen. Both were overly tall, muscular, broad-shouldered and wide backed. Duncan stood there in just his kilt and tartan slung over his left shoulder. His clan colors were red and black plaid with thin green out lining. His pitch-black hair was pulled back into a ponytail and tied with a piece of rawhide. His skin was glistening with a slight sheen of sweat. His chest was all muscle, his pecks stood out like rocks and his stomach was taut. He had a well defined sixpack. Duncan's upper arms were like small trees bulging with hard biceps with definition lines. His forearms were just as well formed as the rest of the man. Castalena dared not look past his face for the sake of her own embarrassment. The last time she saw Duncan he did not look this damn good to her but then again she never looked. For some reason at the moment she noticed how handsome, no, gorgeous Duncan was standing there holding her. She laid her hands on his strong chest and she could feel his heartbeat and the warmth of his sun-kissed skin under her still trembling fingers. "Castalena are ye alright?" He asked her again. She seemed lost in her own daze. "Oh! Yes, yes, I think.. I'm not hurt. Just well, a bit frazzled." She told him. "Lass what be wrong, what has ye in such a state?" His tone was rather agitated. Castalena told him of the slight adventure she had with the wolves in the forest. She dared not even tell him about what happened at the Loch. Duncan ran his eyes over her body as if checking to make sure she was not hurt or marred in any way. Then he kissed her forehead, and sighed. "Da wanted me tae come find ye, he was getting worried." " How did ye know where to find me?" She asked. "Lass please, how dammed long have we known each other? Hmm? We have roamed these woods together forever and a day. I know ye and ye path like my hand." He smiled. He knew he could find her on the darkest night in a storm. That was how well he knew her. She got a slight blush to her cheeks because of her dumb question. She knew better, he was oh so right. Duncan swooped her up in his buff arms and carried her out of the forest. She did not stop him. Actually, she was kind of glad he was carrying her, as she was a bit weak-kneed from the whole ordeal, both of them! She lay in his arms, one of her own arms draped over his shoulder and around his neck. "I'm glad ye are home for my visit. Tis been so long since we have had a visit face to face. I have missed our talks and walks" "And I have too Bella Mia, I have too" he whispered as he carried her. He never seemed to get tired of carrying her. Even when she told him she could walk the rest of the way. He shook his head. And told her she was as light as the breeze in spring and he could carry her forever if he had to. As he carried her home they talked of this and that. She had her head on his shoulder, it reminded her of when he carried her back home when they were younger, after she sprained her ankle climbing a tree. Odd, it struck her even then he could carry her without effort. She shrugged it off and didn't give it a second thought. "So tell me Bella Mia, what have ye been up tae since last I saw ye, besides growing into a most lovely woman?" he asked chuckling. "Helping papa and Antonio with the vineyards and other things and Staying away from Henry." "That man will nae give up he keeps trying to buy my affection and I send every thing back unopened and unread" she spoke plainly. Duncan's muscles tensed at the mention of Henry's name but he clamed his anger, as he was content to have his 'Bella Mia' in his arms. Though he had never told her in all the years how he felt about her, from the moment he laid eyes on her when she was a wee lass his heart belonged to her. He could not remember a time when he did not wish to be with her. Even as a young lad when they would walk the forest together, he would hold her hand as they talked. He had the need and the desire to be close even then to her. They talked the whole way back to the manor house. Out of the house came Duncan's mother and father calling out as they ran to their son. "What in the name of bloody 'ell happened Boy? " his father asked. "Nothin Da, she is fine she just ran in tae a wolf is all." Duncan told his father. Angus looked his niece over and took her from Duncan's arms. "Come lass lets get ye inside." " Uncle Angus I am fine, really You nae have tae carry me I can walk." "Bah!" he exclaimed, Duncan turned to his mother and smiled. They all waked into the house then. Once they were convinced she was alright she stood and went to her room to clean up and get ready for dinner. Castalena came down from her room dressed in a gown of dark emerald green. It only enhanced the beauty of her skin and the dark color of her eyes and hair, the bodice hugged her so well that she never wore a corset too tightly, as to give her the slender waist. The top of her dress hung low on her arms exposing her soft shoulders. The only thing caressing them were long curled tendrils of dark earthy chestnut colored hair. Castalena entered the sitting room to find her family and a guest chatting as they waited for her. There talking to her family was a stranger. Tall and rather good-looking with dark auburn hair tied back just as Duncan's was. Similar build as well. Tall and well built. He too wore the tartan of his clan. But he was dressed for dinner, no kilts, pants and shirts with proper jackets to match. And her Aunt wore a dress of blue more fashionable for a married Lady. Duncan and his father and the guest turned their heads as she entered the room. She smiled softly. "Forgive me Uncle, Aunt, I lost track of time." Duncan walked to Castalena and took her hand in his and kissed the back of it. His eyes never left hers. She felt as if he was looking right into her and could see what she was thinking. And good lord save her if he could, she could not get the image of the couple by the tree out of her mind. She blushed some and he smiled and winked at her. She returned the smile and gently gripped his hand. Duncan pulled her a bit snug to his body and walked her to where his good friend Andrew stood with his parents. "Bella Mia I want you to meet a good old friend of mine from school, Andrew Jonatan McConner. Drew, this is my closest of friend, she is my love and my heart and there is none I am closer to then she. May I introduce Lady Castalena Angelena Revali. Now Bella Mia nae let this one fool ye he is a rogue and a rapscallion of the worst kind." "Oh then he is just like you then?" she remarked. "OHH! Now I see the woman is equal in beauty, brains and wit." Commented Andrew, while the others laughed. All Duncan could do was smile. She laughed and then kissed Duncan on the cheek. Andrew took Castalena's hand in his and kissed it. "It is a pleasure to meet. Duncan has told me all about you and how you and him are so close." "You're most kind M'lord McConner" she said softly. "Nae good lady please call me Andrew." Once dinner was served in the dinning room they all sat about talking and laughing and having a rather good night of it all. Castalena could feel Duncan looking at her from across the table. She would glance up and smile now and then, in between bites. Andrew spoke then "Duncan tell me how did ye land such a fish as this mermaid? She is as bright at any star that was put to the heavens to shine. You are truly lucky ole man to have her as such a friend" Duncan chuckled and nodded. Andrew knew how he felt about his Bella Mia. Even though he had never told her. Angus watched his son and his god daughter and hid a sly smile as he looked to his wife and reached out his hand to her. Oh yes Heather had noticed the look in her son's eyes whenever he talked of her. There was no denying it Duncan was in love; no he had always been in love with the lass. When dinner was done the group moved to the sitting room. Now it was the fashion of the times, that the men would go off and talk of manly things and drink brandy but, not in this house. The men stayed with the women and shared the closeness of each other's company. This had always struck Castalena as odd but it was a pleasant thing. As the night went on Castalena became tired, she did have a long journey and the days incidents that had drained her long before now. Slowly she rose and excused herself from the company of the others. "I bid you all good night. I am weary from the days events and am sorely in need of rest." Angus stood and went to his god daughter and kissed her on the brow. "Aye lass we understand, rest well" he told her. She smiled and kissed him then went and kissed her aunt good night. She shook Andrews hand. "Tis been a pleasure sir, I mean Andrew." she said. He kissed her hand and told her it was all his pleasure to have met her and to have been in her pleasant company. She nodded then and looked to Duncan, he was waiting to bid her good night. He always was the last to say good night, as he wanted her to think of him as the last person she saw before sleeping. He walked her to her room and they stood there and talked alone for a few moments. "Bella Mia, I have missed your company something fierce" he told her as his hand brushed some stands of hair from her face. "We have always been close. Closer then any two could be. You are in my thought every day and night before I sleep and the first person I think of come the dawn. Tell me that this time your stay will nae be so short as it has been in the past." he questioned. She pressed her cheek to his hand and smiled. Her face was warm and soft, she smelled of roses. Her eyes never left his as they talked. "I will stay as long as I can Duncan, that is all I can promise." He nodded then leaned in and kissed her brow and opened her room's door. She stepped in and leaned on the door slightly. He leaned into and whispered to her "Meet me at the glen come dawn and we will go for a swim in the spring" his eyes sparkled. He fondly remembered them sneaking out before everyone in the house awoke, they would sneak out of the house and go swim in the spring. She nodded " I will be there come dawn, I promise" she told him. Once she had closed the door and he had gone she undressed and sat at the vanity brushing her hair she was lost in recollection of earlier events in the day by the tree. She could still hear the moans and groans of the couple as they were locked in their torrid embrace. Her heart began to beat a bit harder as she pictured them in her mind. And just as earlier her body began to stir with that same needful feeling. Her chest began to rise and fall slightly with every deepening breath. Castalena snapped out of her dream state when she heard the howl of the wolf outside. She rose from the vanity and went to the window. She peered out but could not see anything but strangely she could feel him out there watching her. She closed the window and walked to her bed, she removed the robe she wore and slipped under the silken sheets, her naked flesh cooled slightly by the bedding. Castalena never slept in anything. She closed her eyes and sighed she began to think of the two from the day. As she imagined them being together in the lustful way, her body began to react more and more with every passing moment. Her nipples became hard little pebbles of flesh, her heart raced and her tender vaginal passage began that same throbbing as when she was by the loch. Slowly her hands began to caress her heating flesh. Moving across her breast teasing the already hard nipples, her breaths became a bit shallower as she thought about the lad she saw and the sight of his manhood sticking straight out from his flat stomach and the round head. Her heart began to pound even just at the thought of it, she wondered what it would feel like to have a beast like that buried inside her aching whole. Castalena could feel that same burn that she had earlier in the day, but this time she was not bound by her restraining clothing, her hand slowly slid down her heated body over her breasts over the flat of her tanned skin and the already moist patch of hair before slipping between the swollen lips of her wetness. She moaned ever so quietly as her finger grazed over her pulsating clit making her body shiver with delight. She let her fingers dance slowly over the wet hot flesh of her slit, moving the sweet nectar of her excitement over her fingers and skin. She bit her bottom lip to keep her from crying out in sweet torturous pleasure. Her fingers were slick with her own juice making her fingers slide between her puffy lips building her to an even higher fevered pitch of delight. Her eyes were closed as her mind began to drift away from the lad she had seen to a more familiar face, the face of Duncan. She groaned as the image of his face caressed her thoughts, but it did not stop her from playing with herself, if anything it egged her on even more making her heart pound as if it would leap out of her chest. Her moans were like pants but she did everything she could to keep from crying out. Her chest came up sharply and crashed just as badly as if she had been running for miles. Still her fingers played their taunting game making her hips begin to undulate against her probing fingers. They slipped in past the outer lips to delve deeper into her waiting pussy. Her mind pictured it was Duncan that was tormenting her crevasse instead of her own slippery fingers. One finger began to moving across her clit teasing it, she bucked her hips up off the bed to meet with her hand while her other hand grabbed the bedding in a grip of lust. Castalena arched her back some as she felt her pussy contract around her probing fingers, making it hard for her to hold back the tremendous wave of pleasure that was about to wash over her like hot bath water soaking her skin. Castalena grabbed the pillow with the hand that had been holding the bedding and all but screamed as her pussy exploded in a tremendous orgasm that spilled out of her pussy like the water behind a broken damm. She threw her head back as she came hard from her masturbating, her breaths were fast, hard and shallow, it took her a moment to try and catch a big enough gulp of air to realize what had happened to her and how far over the edge she had gone. Her eyes sprung open as she came to the realization that it was not the boy under the tree that had pushed her to this point of ecstasy but the image of Duncan, her Duncan. The man she had known all her life. Never had she thought of him in this way, ever, well that was until now! Castalena curled her self around her pillow and laid her head to the others. A smile crept to her soft red lips as she could not help but try and image what he looked like naked. His body pressed to hers. Feeling his throbbing penis laying to the flat of her stomach as he lay hovering above her looking into her eyes. Her thoughts were broken by the echoing howl of something outside the manor house. She looked up and slowly sat up in bed, the moon was shinning in through the slightly open balcony doors. The breeze moved the thin curtains making them flutter away from the doors. Curiosity getting the better of her, she slid from bed, her legs still a bit weak from the Earth shattering orgasm. Putting on the silken bathrobe that laid at the foot of her bed, tying it in the front she walked to the balcony doors and pushed them fully open. The wind caught her hair and let it flutter behind her head like dark brown silk ribbons caught in the twisting wind. Her eyes scanned the manor houses grounds and then there he was, standing at the edge of the woods. She could see him clearly only because of the bright light from the full moon that hung in the beauty of the night sky. He stood there as if calling to her from his hidden place in the forest-darkened place. She felt this strong pull, as if she could not resist going and following him. Castalena left her room moments later and slipped down the back way of the house and out the kitchen door and then through the garden and to the forest. She walked through the garden as a vision, one could only call a nymph of such great beauty that even the flowers she walked by had to bow in her presence. Her body was slightly shrouded by the dark color of her robe but her figure was outlined perfectly as the moon's glow silhouetting her image to any one that had happened to see her traveling from the house to the gardens and then to the wolf by the forest. Slowly her steps brought her closer to him as he seemed to be waiting for her and her alone. She finally made it to his side and slowly he turned and walked back into the forest from whence he came and she disappeared with him. But where was he leading her? In another part of the house a while earlier, Andrew and Duncan sat by the fire talking alone with each other seeing as his parents retired for the evening. The men sat by the fire talking with each other about things. "So tell me Duncan do ye plan to tell the lass your heart or will ye let her just go on without so much as a clue?" " I do not know Andrew, my heart tells me to go to her now and take her as my own, but my head says wait." "Man yer daft if ye do not tell her, can ye bare to let her slip through your fingers? Maybe marry some great oaf?" "Damm it Andrew, I cannot just go and steal her like she was some village maiden" Duncan stood up fast, his feet made a resounding thud as he walked the one or two steps to the fire place. " Drew that woman is in my very blood. I can feel her, even hear her breathing, even right at this moment." He would look to the ceiling her room was just above them. "I can smell the roses she bathed with this day. That scent of her now drives me wild with wanting. If for nothing else to have her in my arms again, to hold her so close that I can feel her breathing and her heart beat." He rattled off to Andrew who slowly stood from his chair and walked to his friend. "Sooner or later lad you're going ta have ta tell the lass how it is, then she can decide for herself." Andrew patted Duncan's shoulder and began to move from the room and to the double doors. Slowly he turned and looked at his troubled friend. 'If she is the women ye say she be then you should not be a worr'in about it lad." He smiled and left. Andrew had a meeting to attend to. Duncan sighed and left to go for a walk. Just a walk somewhere out past the house out on the road somewhere, to ponder what to do. Meanwhile Andrew walked outside and out past the pasture. He trekked into the forest and to the meeting spot where he had the secret meeting. Momentarily he stopped and took in a deep breath and a wickedly evil grin came to his lips, then slowly he stalked closer to his prey. "ah now there's the wench" he whispered to himself. He took off his jacket and his shirt and then his breeches. He now was totally naked except for a choker about his neck where a Cross hung. It had once belonged to his mother, she had given it to him when she pasted on not more then 10 summers now. Since then he had never taken it off. She had told him to give it to the woman he gave his heart to as his father had done with her. Andrew came around a large tree to a small patch of tall thick grass and there she was. She was bathed in the moons flickering light as it filtered through the leaves of the trees canopy. She looked like a vision, it was enough to make him want to just pounce her and ravage her but he was not that kind of man. A Scottish Werewolf's Love Ch. 2 Yes he did stalk her from behind slowly, until he was upon her in but a blink of an eye. He grabbed her in his monstrous hands as it gripped the fabric of the simple dress she wore. She gasped and was about to scream when she heard him almost growl in her ear. "Not a word wench, all I want to hear is your cries of lust as I take you all night" came his voice while his breath tickled the side of her face as he spoke in her ear. His words were soft and deep they even had a rumbling that she could feel against her skin. With a swift move his strong hands ripped the thin material of the bodice of the dress she was wearing. He could hear her gasp as her skin was exposed to the night's cool air. The sheer thrill of having this woman in front of him and exposing those lush breasts to the night air made her nipples harder right off the bat without even as much as the merest touch of his hands made his heart pound. He took in her scent and kissed her neck, she tilted it to the side giving him the long slender slope of her throat leaving it there for him to kiss and suck on. And Andrew did just that, his tongue trailed up the length of her neck to her ear where he nibbled on the soft warm lobe. His passionate growls rang in her ear giving her a shiver. "mmmmmmm lass some'in a miss are ye cold?" His hands pushed the ripped dress off her shoulders and down to her waist exposing more of her sensual body to the night. He could sense her excitement building at his teasing. All he could hear was a soft sigh slip past her gently bitten lips. Her hands grabbed his and moved them to her aching breasts, she helped his warm hands caress and massage them. She slightly pushed her chest into his hands she knew him so well and these stolen moments were overly exciting for her and for him and she knew it as she could feel the evidence as it pressed to the still-dressed clad globes of her ass. Her body trembled in his grasp she could never deny him not since the first time she met him so long ago. Something in him grabbed at her, his eyes were deep and rich like the earth, his body hard yet his hands were always gentle and loving. She could remember every time they had been together over the past few years, and each time was like the first. "Will you scream for me tonight my love. Scream and tell me how much you want me? " She turned in his grasp to face him her bare chest pressed into his, their skin grazing each other's. Her eyes shimmered in the light of the night, her skin glowed a pale color but her hair even just in the moon's light, her hair was like fire. Deep dark and rich just like her. His hands caressed the small of her back pulling her even closer pressing her to him so hard that he could feel her heart beating like the flapping of birds wings, against his chest. "Andrew, I know I said to ye I would never say this but you have stolen my heart how and when I do not know but somewhere in all this I fell in love with ye and I can no longer hide it." Her voice, damm that voice haunted him at night when he laid alone in his bed. And those pools she called her eyes, he was lost in them every time their eyes met even in a mere glance. They were dark blue almost like sapphires but with this forest green colored flecks they make her eyes burn bright. If in that single moment that he held her so close it hit him hard, so hard that he thought his heart had stopped beating. In all his years he had never ever found one woman that could give him a feeling of being complete. Not like she had done. He had bedded hundreds of women, which was no small feat in itself. But now, he knew she was the one, the one he wanted. He had not been with anyone else since he had been with this (in his eyes), this goddess of a woman he was holding. He leaned down and silenced her words before she could utter another sound with a kiss that burnt her to the very core. He could feel her body melt against his, he knew right then she was only his. Andrew grabbed the fleshy globes of her rump and pulled her up to him. Those long slender legs of hers wrapped around his waist and he strode off with her thus still kissing her. Each step he took bounced her body down to his. Her tingling womanhood would bump against the fabric of her dress, which was the only barrier that was between her and his lust-gorged eight inch hungry beast. Andrew carried Shannan to a flat-topped rock and laid her down. He stood over her and just marveled for a moment at the woman in front of him. Then he tore the rest of the dress in twain and leaned down to her and began to feed on the hard-nippled breast, sucking on them each in turn. Shannan arched her body off the rock her hands grabbed his head as he trailed kisses over her cool night-kissed skin. Each kiss sent a shock into her body but the greatest shock came when his tongue swirled in past the puffy tender lips of her essence, the essence of every woman that men desire so much. Slowly his tongue licked at her aching flesh tasting the sweet juice that already gathered there in that sweet hiding place. With a expert tongue he teased the little sensitive spot where it seems every nerve ends. Slowly swirling around it then taking it into his mouth grazing his teeth over it and sucking on it with just enough pressure that Shannan's hips jetted forward into his mouth. With that Andrew grabbed her hips and held her in the position as he sucked and licked at her tangy honey. He could hear her moaning and panting; he knew this was driving her up the wall. Did he stop his relentless feasting on her fulfilling fare she had to offer? Not on his life! He would not stop till he heard her scream and till she writhed in his strong grasp. He was not disappointed not very long after he had that thought, her voice broke the night air sending birds to take flight as her sweet cry of pleasure echoed over the land. He drank her in taking all she could give him. He looked up her long body it was arched off the rock, he saw the curve of her belly and then the cascading strands of her hair. He was ever so pleased with what he had done to her, now slowly tormenting her further he kissed and licked up her tense body. Slowly her back came to rest on the cold of the stone. Her chest was cresting and falling fast, her eyes were closed and her face had that expression of a woman in heaven. He kissed her lips his tongue slipped past her lips and sought out hers in the snake-like dance. She could taste the tanginess of her own fluids in their kiss, she moaned as she felt the head of his cock press to her waiting slit. Her legs slipped open and up along his sides by his ribs. Andrew reached for her thighs and pulled her legs around him then with a jerk he pulled her up and sat down on the rock's surface leaving her in his lap. Andrew lifted her by the roundness of her ass and then slowly let his swollen member press past the outer barrier and began to sink in to her, deeply filing her to the hilt. Shannan moaned as her hips moved slowly to grind against him. Every move they made bumped her closer to cumming again. She bent her head to his huge shoulder, as his hands slipped up her back slowly caressing her soft skin. He breathed in her scent, that scent of sexual arousal, it would make him go wild. Wild with lust the men in his family feed on such things. It drove them to great heights. He groaned, no, growled like a wild animal in the wilderness, he bit her neck gently as his hands braced on her shoulders and slammed her down as he jerked his hips up. The clash of their groins made her whimper in sweet bliss. His strokes were powerful and deep, every one burying him up into her till his balls met with the hot skin of her ass. "Take me hard and fast Andrew please" came her soft voice in his ear. Damm if her words could not spur on a stampede of beasts to trample the ground. That was all Andrew needed to hear. In a swift move he took her to the ground and laid into her like some mad beast in a rage of lust. His body glistened with a slick coating of sweat. His hands grabbed hers and pinned them over her head. The muscles in his arms were taunt and trained as he pounded relentlessly into her quivering whole. "Woman" he groaned. "You drive me to the depth of hell and back what spell have you cast on me?" With every word he pushed harder into her. Then something happened, she somehow was able to flip him over on his back. She impaled herself onto his raging erection. She buried him as deep as she could till he hit bottom. She rocked her hips wildly on him as her muscles twitched and contracted about his tormented cock. She looked down at him. Gasping for air her eyes rolled back in her head and her body arched.. Andrew knew all too well that she was about to cum and hard. He held her hips as he bucked hard into her like a run-away horse. Shannan braced her thighs to his hips in a grip like a vice as her body shook violently in a tremendous spasm. Her hands were balled fists that lay on his chest so as not to claw the hell out of him. And if it were some trigger her cumming just signaled his own. With a great deep rumbling sound Andrew let loose his seed deep into her waiting and quivering womb. His head was thrown back as far as it could while his hips banged into hers. His hands gripped her hips and held her against him making sure that every last drop of his life just filled her to over flowing, boiling capacity. His cocks twitched in her shaking pussy which in it self made her quake with after shocks. The did not know how much time pasted till she laid on his heaving chest. She heard the racing of his heart, she gently and lovingly kissed the place over it. "Tis not a spell that I have spun, tis just my undying love for you Andrew" she said almost without breath. He warped his arms around his lady, now his love. Nothing would take her from him, nothing nor anyone. A Scottish Werewolf's Love Ch. 3 Angus looked at his wife Heather and smiled. She knew as well as he did what was going to happen under their roof sooner or later. “Aye love, I know I know. That boy is about to explode if he nae tells the lass his heart. He is stubborn as is his father” he chuckled. Heather moved to stand in front of him. She even after all these years was an exquisite woman. Still her body beamed of both youth and life. Angus could not imagine his love without his precious wife, his own love, the woman that gave him such a fine son and made his life more joyous then he could have ever hoped. He caressed her cheek gently and lovingly. “What would I be with out ye in my life?” he asked her. His paw-like hands pulled her closer to him. He held her tiny waist, and looked into her eyes as she sat in the chair by the fire. She shook her head “I would not know love, save maybe some lonely old hound of a man “ she could not hold back a chuckle. Angus arched a brow and gave her rump a good firm loving swat. “Watch ye self wench this old hound of a man can still make ye scream all the night” She yelped at the swat he gave her. She still smiled at him. “Angus behave yourself, rogue we have guests.” she said in hushed tones as she was sure that yelp of hers was heard. “Blast them all if they are to daft to know that a man still desires his wench” he smiled as he called her that. “Then best they go sleep in the stables, where it is quiet” With that Angus pulled his wife into his lap so she was astride his huge strong thighs. His hands grabbed at the white nightdress she is wearing, bunching it about her hips. A wolfish grin played on his lips as he leaned in and kissed her neck. He nipped at her tender flesh, even after all these years she was like honey to him. He could feel her try and pull away but he held her there against him. “Angus stop, you beast, we’ll wake the others.” she said in a gasped voice as he kissed and nibbled his way about her neck. Gods but that man knew how to make her weak in the knees. “Too bad, I want my wife and I mean to have her now!“ his hand grabbed the flimsy material and pulled it off of her to expose her still firm and lush body to his hungry eyes. Slowly his hands found the small of her back and pulled her gently to him as he leaned back in his chair. He let his tongue slowly drag over his wife’s soft flesh that stretched between her ample breasts. He licked at each nipple making them react and become hard. Heather closed her eyes and grabbed the back of the chair as her body stirred at his tongues’ teasing moves across her flesh. Her body leaned forward as Angus held her slender waist in his hands. Her thoughts swam with images of when they first met and how he pursued her for months. Heather had made it so hard on Angus when he was courting her. She never told him that she had fallen in love with him the same night he came to talk to her father about marrying her. Heather had been hiding on the balcony of the library while her father and Angus talked of dowries and such. He was handsome then and he was still handsome to this day. She stood there spying on the men, her father Patrick and brother Thomas and Angus and his father Michael. All four talked, but her gaze never left Angus. She bit her bottom lip as she ducked behind the planter when Angus turned his head to look at her. She had hoped he had not seen her. Her heart skipped a beat or two, she fought back a giggle as her hand came over her mouth to still the giggle should it have escaped her lips. Angus was in his twenties and Heather barely nineteen but for them in their time that was of good age to marry and have a family. All of a sudden Heather felt someone or something staring at her. She froze in fright thinking it was her father, and that he had found her eavesdropping on the men’s business. She swallowed hard and slowly turned. She sighed as she saw it was only Angus. She took on a rather stern look. “Oh tis only you “ she said with an upper curst lady-like air about her. Angus stood there with his arms crossed over his mighty chest even then he was big. “Lass do ye always be sneaking around outside at this hour, or is there a special reason hmm?” he asked her straight. His striking green eyes looked into the soft doe brown of hers. His gaze seemed to hold her there for a long moment till she broke it and turned with an up-turned nose at him and walked away. Angus could only smile and shake his head. She stirred his soul and his mind, she was a dangerous fire he did not mind being burned by. Gods she was hell-fire itself, he walked after her. “Ye have nae answered me girl.” he said to her. Well if he was looking for a Rowe he had just stepped into one. At the mention of the word girl, heather became incensed at the tone of voice he took with her, as if he were her father! She turned and looked at him. “How dare ye!” she snapped at him.” Now ye think ye are my Da!!” her voice carried well as the night was still. “You have nae any right tae question me in my own home, now go, I wish not tae.” Like what was only a blink of an eye or less Angus was upon her. His great big hands held her close, one at the small of her back so she could not run and the other cradled the back of her head as he pulled her to him and kissed her with a fierce longing and burning only a man could show a woman he loved and adored. She was taken aback by his lightening-like move and she had no time to react. Her mouth was ravaged in the most heated kiss. His lips pressed to her, stilling the rage of her words. His tongue slipped past the tender lips that would scorn him to seek out her tongue and let his dance with hers. Heather could feel him so dangerously close as she tried in vane to get away, but not hard enough to get loose. Her heart stirred as his kiss deepened and his hand traced the curves of her hips, waist and ribs. His hand held her right under the bottom crest of her breast. He could feel her shudder at his touch. Her blood raced through her body with a fire she had never known. All of this was but a few moments in time, but it seemed to her as if he had lasted longer. She snapped out of her trance and realized he was kissing her and his hand was in a place it should not have been. Swiftly she kicked him in the shins and backed away. An agonizing scream could be heard breaking the night and some foul words followed. “BLOODY ‘ELL WOMAN!, what be ye problem!” He said as he grabbed the assaulted shin, and rubbed where her foot had kicked him. While poor Angus was dealing with Heather on the balcony her brother and father shook their heads and chuckled, as they knew what had happened. They knew Angus had incurred the wrath of the Lady Hellion. Heather stood there wide-eyed, never had any man she met made her body stir in such a fashion that it literally scared the wits out of her.“Youuu You keep your distance you are no gentlemen!” her voice cracked. Her eyes never moved from him. Angus leaned on the wall rubbing his sore leg. “Blazing ‘ell where did ye learn tae kick like a mule?” came his comment. She did not answer but it came from growing up with a brat of a brother, who thought he could bully his way over her. But Heather was too fiery to be pushed around by any man or anyone for that matter. Heather looked into Angus’s green eyes and saw that she had really hurt him, not his pride, or his shin but his feelings for her. All he wanted was to show her how much he loved her. Her eyes dammed those brown soft eyes they could melt the ice off of any cold plain. He could see her eyes in a sea of brown-eyed women. Hers sparkled with fire for life. That was what he saw and loved about her besides her great soft beauty. She watched his face turn from a pained expression to that of a soft and gentler mode, it was then that she knew, knew in the depths of her soul that he was the man she wanted, the man that was her mate for all time. She took small ginger steps towards him. “Come put your foot to the planter and let me look at this pain of yours” she said with that tone still in her voice, the tone of a strong willed woman. “Are ye daft woman so ye can beat me more?” “Oh hush you great oaf, put ye foot to the planter.” Angus put his foot up and she could see the red mark and the slight cut her shoe had made. She bit her lip as she had not really wanted to hurt him, she just wanted to scare him off. Well it had not worked. Heather reached down and pulled the skirt of her dress up and reached and grabbed her petty coat and ripped a swath of it off and then wrapped the elongated piece around his shin, and tied it off. “There all mended.” she said looking at him. Then quickly turning on her toes to leave and go back within the house. “Heather, My bonny Heather?” he called as he walked to her with a slight limp in his step. She turned to look at him, she had to look up to his face. It was rugged, and chiseled with strong features with deep green eyes that looked into her soul, a broad back, wide shoulders and a massive chest that rippled with muscles. His hands were the size of dinner plates compared to her tiny ones. Angus took her hand in his and held her palm to his chest where his heart was and he spoke what his heart felt. “I love ye with all that I am, your Da has put it plainly, he says that if I win ye to my own that I can have ye as my own wife. Marry me, I swear there will never be another, even after death I will love you as my own.” His words struck her to the core. He had been courting her for a while now, it was publicly known he wished to marry her. Heather looked shyly way from his stare, she was afraid he would see the truth of how she felt, but she had to be strong, she did not want him to think her some frilly female of the time, She was far from that. “Tell me love what I must do to win you to my heart and I will do it.” His words almost sounded like a plea, his heart beat was strong against her hand. His finger lifted her chin to look at him. “Never look away from me, my love, there will never be anything but love in my eyes for ye” Damm him she thought to herself he had to have been the single most caring man she had ever met. No one but him had ever said things like this to her, it made her legs weak and her heart drop to her stomach for ever having kicked him. “Give me time to think, I will give ye my answer before the next full moon” she said softly to him. “I will wait the week my love, but know this, I will not relent my pursuit of you for this week, I will come here every day from now till then until you give me your answer.” With that Angus kissed the palm of her hand and let her go, he turned and walked off into the night. Heather’s sweet recollection was broken by the sound of a moan, her own. Angus had her pressed to his mouth while his mouth was busy feeding on her sweet left breast while his hand played and taunted the other one. Heather’s hands gripped the back of the chair while her husband feasted on her bountiful soft mounds of flesh, he pulled her down into his lap further and devoured her sweet lips. He looked into her eyes and there she saw that devilish look, he stood from the chair and carried his wife about two feet and laid her on the fur run in front of the fire. Soon he was naked as the day he was born, he lay between her legs and leaned down and kissed her gently his weight bared on his forearms and he pressed to her. His hardness rubbed against the growingly wet place between her cradling thighs. “Is my wench hungry for her brooding mate?” he asked her in a ever so tender voice. Heather smiled and looked him in his eyes. “Aye love, she is as she was the first day you took her to your bed oh so long ago.” her words almost mewed from her throat. Angus gripped his wife’s legs and placed them around his hips and then slowly and lovingly slipped within the wet velvet folds of her pleasure spot. She thrust her hips off the fur rug in a urgent need to be filled with his well endowed manhood. Her eyes closed as he began to kiss her neck and lower over the front of her throat dragging his tongue along her warm milky skin. A deep rumble came from his throat as his hips began to plunge deeper into his wife’s depths. He cherished these stolen moments when they made love in front of the fire. Slowly, teasingly he licked at the hard nipple and sucked on it like a feeding child would. Her chest rose to meet his mouth while her hands held his head in her hands and moaned his name out, which spurred Angus to quicken his pace. His thrusts became a bit faster and deeper. He grunted as his hips ground against hers, he loved to feel the velvet folds of her dripping hole. He wanted to fill her completely with his own raging desire. And he would, he would enjoy hearing her scream in absolute joy. That above gave him the greatest pleasure, watching and feeling his wife cum around him he could stand that forever and a day without experiencing another orgasm for himself. As Angus and Heather made slow sweet love, he remembered the first time he and she had laid together. It was one week till they were to wed and Angus came to the house and asked to take Heather for a night ride in the moonlit night. Her father let her go, he had a feeling that Angus wanted some time alone with his wife to be. Angus took Heather for a long ride into the forest to a clearing, they had been there before but never on a night like this, the moon was bright and it filtered through the summer trees and made the light dance on the ground, Angus dismounted and helped her off, then taking her hand without a word he lead her to the center of the clearing. There he fell to both knees before her and held her hands in his. “Heather my love and my life, you mean more to me then my life, there is nothing I would not do to keep you safe from all harm, I would never hide anything from you as you are my heart and soul. I want to share this night here in the glen with you alone with none other but ourselves. I wish to share all that I am with you this night. Tell me no and it will be so, but I pray you love, do not turn me away” He spoke in a way she had never heard, his tones were deep and filled with longing like some hunted animal that cries in the night for its mate. Heather smiled at him, her eyes shone brightly. “My love I am yours always. I would share a walk through hell as long as you were by my side.” That was all he needed to hear from her jeweled lips, his hand wrapped around her and pulled her close. His head lay to rest on her stomach, there would be the place that would cradle their children where his love for her would grow and bring life to this dreary world. Angus stood slowly he cupped her gentle face in his hands and kissed her so softly that even the breeze could not have been so light. He came to stand behind her, his hands roamed over her as if his hands were drinking in her figure. Slowly he undid the lacing to the bodice of her dress and pushed the fabric away from her shoulder. He kissed her gently, his tongue licking and flickering across her cool night-kissed skin. He could feel her chest heave slightly as his paw size hands held her breast and ran his thumbs across her nipples making them stand out and become hard. Heathers body trembled at his touch, not from fright but from a powerful longing that grew from the deepest part of her being. Her hands came to meet his; her voice was breathless to say the least. “Angus take me please I can nae stand this boiling in my blood. You have awoken something in me and I can nae ebb its tide, it pulls at me like some unseen thing in the night.” Angus whispered in her ear. ”My love that is me, I sit at night and watch over you like a guardian to make sure my love is safe and well” His hands pushed the dress away from her so that all her glorious body was bathed in the moon’s soft flittering glow. He kissed and caressed her body slowly, lovingly without parrile. He cradled her into his arms and took her to the flat rock there was there in the glen. There he laid her on the cool stone. Her body shivered at the slight chill but she did not care. She watched as he removed his tartan and kilt, both he folded and made a pillow for her head to rest upon. He stood there in all his magnificence, strong, kind, loving and protective yet there was a temper that boiled deep in his being that he kept in check at all times. Angus gazed, no marveled at the creation that lay before him. His heart beat wild like the animal of the woods. Dammed to hell but he could drink this vision as if for all time. His thoughts raced, which stirred an awakening of his groin. His member rose from its slumber till it was full and erect and pressed away from his stomach. Heather’s eyes widened at the sight of him. Her mind raced not knowing how she would be able to fit around his monster. He crawled up her body parting her legs as he went ”Would that I could spare you the pain of this. But it would either be now or then and I would choose you not to bare any pain on so sweet a night as when we wed” Heather, in a surprising move pulled him to her and kissed him. Her heart was racing she didn’t care if the pain wracked her body for days. Her need for him overrode the fear of the pain. Angus’s eyes flew open as his love all but assaulted his lips with hers. He grabbed her thighs as she caressed his flanks, there was no need to try and excite her and make her juices flow, she was already soaked with desire. He slid his hands down the curve of her hips and pressed her up against him. Her arms were around his neck and her lips were locked in the most tumultuous kiss. In a swift and heart breaking move Angus buried his cock full into her waiting depths, breaking the barrier that was her maidenhood. Heather tensed at the wave of pain and the flash of heat that washed over her. Her scream was muffled by their kiss. She could feel him buried, balls deep in her, he laid still in her not moving waiting till he body relaxed and the pain had filtered way. Her kiss broke and she opened her eyes, the barest of tears fell and Angus kissed them away. He whispered soft words to her and she smiled. Slowly he began to move within her letting her get used to his length and girth. He made love to her there on that rock, their bodies moved together as one. Her hips rocked up to meet his pounding thrust that only pushed them both closer to a huge climax, as Heather’s moans became sweet passion filled cries, Angus’s cock twitched inside her getting ready to fill her womb with his hot seed. Heather wrapped her legs around him barely giving him room to move that only made his thrusts short, hard and deep inside her trembling pussy. As in the past Angus now all but howled as he spewed forth the life giving seed into his wife who lay on the rug under him. Both their voices echoed through the manor house. Just as he did back then, he rolled over on to his back and pulled her in to his arms.While his beast lay in its heated cavern. Though there was something ever so strange about him and his wife as the lay joined in such sweet splendor. Angus reached over and gripped one edge of the rug then pulled it to cover his wifes splendid body. Closing their eyes both drifted off into a sweet slumber. A Scottish Werewolf's Love Ch. 4 The house was deadly silent when Duncan and Andrew came back later that evening. There were black ribbons adoring the front door and the columns to the porch at the front of the house. Duncan and Andrew raced into the house fearing that his Father or gods save him his mother was dead. His heart rang with the pang of joy when he came to see his parents sitting sullen in the sitting room. Duncan went to his loving mother and fell at her feet to his knees praising GOD that she was alright and so was his Father. Then it hit him to ask what and why the black ribbons were at the house. 'Da?" he asked. Andrew now stood by Duncan's side waiting to hear the news. "Duncan I have bad news Lad. Castalena's Mother and Da and Guido have passed on lad." He said in a very hushed tone. "What?" Came the utter shocked tone from Andrew. "All of them dead?" said Duncan. "How, what happened da?" "A fire son tis all I know, tis all I know " Angus bowed his head. And looked to the fire. "Does the lass know M'lord Angus?" "Aye Andrew she does. She does. She has nae come from her room for the past few hours." Angus looked to his son and his friend. Grief filled his eyes. He said nothing more. A while later Castalena came down stairs. She appeared none the less for wear. She walked into the parlor where everyone was. Duncan went to her and grasped her hands and held them to his chest after kissing them. "Bella, I am here for you. Lean on me if you need" Duncan's words were soft and gentle. She looked into his eyes, her own were tinged with a faint hint of red from crying. She had cried for maybe 10 minutes then she had stopped. She had convinced herself that all her family had not perished in that fire in London. And that Henry had never come to give her the news. She had put herself into a state of denial. 'Duncan, what ever do you mean. Why would I need to lean on you?" Her words were somewhat cold and short. Duncan looked to his father as if asking for help on what to say or do. All Angus could do was give his son a knowing nod. As if to say "Just let it be". Later Duncan, Angus and Andrew gathered outside to talk alone. "Lads this is a tender time for the Lass all she knew has been ripped from her. Now we are the only family she has. We must protect her and make her feel safe." Angus paced back and forth in front of the two men. He was stuck. His niece now stood to inherit a great deal of land and wealth and he was sure Henry would try to get her swayed, now that she was a bit in shock from this matter. He had to deal with this with delicate hands. Kit gloves if you will, but what to do? First he and Heather would arrange the funeral to be held at the house and the wake afterwards. It would have to be done in a few days. So that the rest of the dealings with the barrister and such could be dealt with for Castalena's sake. Angus knew what was about to unfold, as Angus was the executor of his will. Something he was going to hate to deal with but Angus and Antonio had made a deal long ago to take care of the others families should one of them pass on. Three Days Later. Castalena sat in the carriage she still did not wish to believe that her family was dead. Her uncle had their family cemetery readied for the three bodies of whom he thought of as family. Angus had been keeping a close eye on his niece; he knew she could not contain her heartache for much longer. He knew in his heart seeing them laid to rest would make her snap. The funeral went off well enough, as one could hope. Castalena acted as if she was attending some one else's funeral and not her own kin. She stood there like stone, no tears and no sign of any emotion. Everyone attended, Henry one down to the servants were at the graves to bid their good byes to the Revali Family. Afterward the house was open to the guests for the wake. It was not like the traditional Scottish wakes. There was music and joy and such on such a sad day. But then again The Revali's wanted their lives to be celebrated. So in accordance with Antonio's wishes there was a grand time to be had by all that came to pay their respects, but Castalena was not among those there to hear the condolences. When all was said and done and the last guest left Henry Duncan Andrew and Robert sat in the parlor talking. Angus and Heather had gone to their room to rest for the night. Henry had made it clear that he intended to ask for Castalena's hand in marriage when the time was right. Giving the Lady time to mourn the loss of her family. Duncan had kept his temper but Henry knew that it just dug at him that he was going to approach her for marriage. All Duncan could think of was ripping his throat out. But for his love's sake he would remain calm. Duncan being the good host walked Henry to his awaiting coach where Robert stood waiting as well. " I bid you good eve My Lord McCloud. " came Henry's words. All Duncan did was nod once then he turned with Andrew at his side. Andrew and Duncan both seemed to be thinking the same cause the only thing that was heard from either man was a guttural growl like some wild animal. " If that bloody bastard thinks my father will let him marry my love he is crazy!" Duncan slammed his fist on the table. He hit it with enough force it bow it slightly. Andrew placed a comforting hand to his friends shoulder. 'You understand he is a Leader and that lackey at his side is his slinking snake in the grass??" Andrew commented. Duncan nodded but once. He was about to say something when a mournful scream came from the second floor and from Castalena's room. The scream was preceded by the sound of breaking glass and the crashing of some object. Without hesitation both men raced up the stairs by threes. Not even winded they came to a screeching halt at her door only to be met by his father and mother. 'Dear LORD!" his mother exclaimed. "What in the name of GOD?" Angus knew just what had happened. It had sunk in to her that it was real. But the question was, what made her snap. "Lass?" he said as he knocked on her door. He got no answer just the sound of crashing things within. Andrew grabbed for the doors handle and tried to open it but it would not budge. It was as if something was blocking it besides having been locked. Had she barricaded herself in the room? "Castalena!?' Andrew called but she did not answer. Duncan came to bang on the door hard and with force, his anger already at the boiling point from Henry. " Bella open the door! " He yelled, but got no answer, nothing. Then it was silent. That worried the family more then her screaming. Duncan used all his body weight to shove open the door but it gave not an inch. Finally All three men tried and nothing. Now fearing something truly was wrong they all three in one swift moment kicked the door in with all their might. The oak frame of the door was thick but the force of three grown men in their prime and of their background the door did not stand a chance. The wood gave way with a sickening creek and it bent and split. The three shoved the door open till at last they could grab at the blockage. Angus's large hands grabbed that which had been wedged under the handle of the door. In his frustration his nails had dug into the fabric and shredded it like tissue. And then he flung it out of the way. When they entered there was no sign of her. Just broken things all over the room. It had looked like a storm whipped through her room with an unstoppable fury. As they looked around for her, Heather spotted the bloodied hand by the balcony door. She yelled the lass's name and rushed to her at once. There in the balcony just outside the door laid Castalena having passed out it seemed. Then to all of the men there was the somewhat sweet smell of fresh blood. When Castalena's hand been examined by her family it was seen that she had been cut badly on the hands from the class panes of the balcony door. It was clear that it was not done intentionally. As if she were some fragile thing Andrew picked her up while Duncan and his Father went to find things to tend to her. Andrew brought Castalena to Duncan's room and laid her to rest on his bed. Her Aunt worked to help tend to her nieces wounds. First came Duncan with towels and water and other such things to clean the wounds. Next his Father came with herbs to help heal the cuts. Heather gently pulled any slivers out of Castalena's hands and then washed them off with water and put salve on them. Then wrapped them carefully. Heather kissed Castalena's forehead and looked at Duncan. "She needs rest, the poor thing. This must be so hard on her. " She whispered brushing the girls hair from her face and dabbing a wet towel to her forehead. Duncan slipped into bed and laid her to his chest and held her close. He took the towel from his mother's hand and pressed it to Castalena's head. " She is not alone. She has us all now. We are her family She will come through this just fine." He said with great conviction in his voice. Heather Angus and Andrew looked at Duncan and then slowly left the room and closed the door behind them. Leaving Duncan to care for his love. The night went on and the hour grew late but Duncan refused to sleep, he would sit there like a sentinel in the dark daring any one or thing to come forth. He sat there stroking her forehead gently with but a finger he began to think back to when they first meet as small children. It was 18 or so years ago when Duncan laid eyes on Castalena for the first time she had to have been 4 years of age but he remembered it as if it were yesterday. It was the first time her really remembered seeing her and remembering who she was. He must have been 7. Which made him 25 yrs old come this winter. Gods he was getting old he thought with a chuckle. It was the summer of 1761 when the Revali family came to spend the whole of the summer with the McCLoud's at retreat at Loch Daibhreach. Nothing grand just a family place where they could get away from the daily grind of life and just be at peace. But there was a bit more to it. There were others that came back to the loch ever so many years to pick their mates. Duncan sighed as his minds eye he saw her image in a pale blue little girls dress with her hair tied back with a blue bow and her eyes smiling with joy as his father gave her a piggy back ride. That summer was the beginning of what would be the object of his life's dream. Even at Seven Duncan knew that Castalena was going to be his mate for all time. He even then started to call her 'Bella Mia' even at such a tender age. It meant Beautiful Mine, and she was his and he knew it. It was funny as her father used to call her that and Duncan asked his uncle what it meant. Well from that day on that was what he called her. Hardly ever calling her Castalena or Lena like her brother called her. No it was basically Bella Mia. That first summer it seemed they were inseparable. Wherever one was the other was close behind. Duncan remembered the first time he turned into a wolf and hunted her down when they were playing hide and seek. She could never hide from him he would know her scent in the darkest of nights. Castalena would take off running and hide in a clump of bushes and like nothing he would find her. Duncan smiled. He touched her face with a soft warm hand as his thoughts swam about when they were younger. When Duncan was about 15 he and some of the other boys of the clan had gone out hunting. Pack hunting. Well she hated to be left behind so she followed Duncan and the others into the forest. But they had turned into wolves and she quickly lost them. While she made her way back she was set upon by a small pack of wolves. She found herself surrounded by them. The pack started to close in on her when from out of nowhere these other wolves appeared and the fight ensued. When it was all over and done with, Duncan suffered a bad gash in his side. Once Castalena got back to the manor, she found Duncan had past out on the back walkway. After having him taken to his room Castalena spent the next days at his side nursing him back to health. He could feel the sting in his side even till today. He remembered waking after a three-day slumber from the fever he had. He found her sleeping in the great chair by his bed with her head on the bed and her arm draped over his stomach. There had been so many things he wanted to tell her over the years. About who and what he really was. He wanted her to know how much he loved her. He leaned his head back and looked at the painting over his fireplace. It was of her. Five years ago she had asked him what he wanted for his birthday. His simple answer was. "All I need or want I have standing in front of me but I would have a picture of you so I may see your beauty in my dreams forever" Castalena blushed badly she had never had anyone say such sweet words. So she had her father commission an artist to paint her. When his birthday had arrived she could not attend, as she was sick with the flu and her family refused to let her travel from the warmth of Italy to the cold dampness of Scotland. So Her family brought the painting along. It was the only time he remembered her never coming to Scotland. There was the one time she was here and he was away. but other than those two times, she and he were always together. At Castalena's coming out party when she was 18, that had to have been the most passion filled few days for the both of them. It was the time when Duncan knew in his deepest of places that there was no one for him other than her. She was 18 and it was in London. Her father had business there and that was the only reason her coming out was not held in Italy. The day was nice, for London that is. The day went well the house was done up to receive the one hundred guests that were going to arrive for her coming out and birthday. Castalena had spent her day primping and getting pampered. It was his way of telling her that he was ever so proud of her. Normally Castalena was not one for this pampering and such, but today she let her Mother and Father fawn over her. Even her brother whom she loved so much was just being sweet and kind. This was her day and they were going to make dammed sure it went off with out a hitch and with out any problems. Duncan and his family arrived earlier that day but Castalena had not gotten a chance to see them yet. Duncan got a sly smile upon his face as he remembered sneaking into her room and hide behind the changing screen and waited for the attendant to leave and at her feet he threw a boquet of purple and white heather. "You look simply lovely Bella" he said in his roguish deep voice. Castalena turned with a jerk and smiled as she saw who it was. Slowly and very seductively she reached down and picked up the heather and then walked to him and placed a small piece in his tartan pin. "And you rogue are in my bed chamber. What would our families think? Hmm" she seemed to mew her words. If he was going to play this game with her, she would play right back. 'I came tae give ye the Heather. I had to come and give it to you in person." He stroked the fame of her face with a single finger. And them smiled at her. " You are so beautiful Bella I can not think of my life without you" Just as he said that there was a knock on her bedroom door and her Aunt Heather walked in. Duncan ducked back behind the screen before his mother saw him or so he thought. After a few moments of talking with her niece Heather turned and looked at the screen. "Come out Duncan" Duncan come out from behind the screen with that very guilty look on his face. "What in the name of the good lord are ye doing here?" she asked with an annoyed tone in her voice. Though she knew dammed well what he was doing and that he would never ever dishonor his or her family in such an unsavory light. But she also knew he was in love with her. Even now. "Duncan Leave now and I will nae tell your father about this. " She pointed to the door and so he left like a sulking little child. Duncan did turn back and winked at Castalena and left. He chuckled to himself as he remembered that day with great fondness. He looked down at Castalena as she was sleeping against him. He sighed. His heart was breaking for his love. He wished he could make it all right for her, but it was beyond his capabilities. He laid his head to the post of the headboard and closed his eyes. What only seemed like a few moments turned out to be a few hours. When he woke she was gone. He had not felt her leave. He jumped out of bed and rushed down the stairs and went about the house looking for her. He yelled for her at the top of his lungs. He felt his heart start to pound in his massive chest. He could not imagine what was going on. After last night he was afraid something might have happened. The he heard his father calling him into the parlor. Duncan pushed the doors open with a hard shove just to find her sitting on the settee with his mother. Dam but his heart stopped when he laid eyes on her. She was sitting there bathed in the suns light. It gave a soft halo to her image. He went to her in a moment of frustration and fear he grabbed her up by the arms. "Nae do that to me again!" he bellowed at her. His eyes showed the over protectiveness he had for her and the love all in those deep eyes. Then he pulled her to him in the most loving of all embraces any man could give a woman. She could feel his heart racing as she laid her head to his chest. "Duncan I am sorry. I did not wish to wake you. You looked so tired. I am fine really." She said in a soft voice. He pulled back from her and looked down into her eyes and then put her to sit back down. And right there on his knees in front of his mother and father he took a deep breath. A woman came to the door and with her came Henry and his friend Robert. "He insisted my lord." Said the sweet maid. It was the same woman who was in love with Andrew. She stood there looking at Angus with an apologetic look to her face. "He would nae take no for an answer my lord." "You are dismissed girl" Was the words from Henry's mouth but she stood fast till her lord dismissed her, which he did not do. Shannan stood there and said nothing. Henry and Robert walked into the parlor. "My Lord I have come to ask you to please indulge me in a moment of your time. I have toiled all night over this matter and even though I know it is to early I employ you to hear me out." Henry spoke "Aye go on" Said Angus as he stood there his arms crossed over his chest. "Well I wish to marry your young niece and as it seems you are her guardian, Protocol demands that I talk to you about this matter. I had talks with her father but nothing was settled due to the accident. God rest them" Angus looked at Henry and with a resounding boom in his baritone voice he replied to Henry. " No! That is my answer sir, she does not wish to marry you. She has made it very clear whom she wishes to marry and I must abide by my nieces decision." Shannan watched, as she knew something was about to happen so slowly she left the parlor and ran out to the garden where she had seen Andrew resting under a tree reading. "ANDREW!" she yelled as he ran to him. In the house Lord Henry and his Friend! He's asking Angus for her hand. I am afraid there is going to be a fight. Lady Heather and Lady Castalena are in the parlor with them. Without a word Andrew was gone and raced back to the house. He came in like a thundering herd of beasts as he came to a sliding halt. In the parlor were Duncan and his Father being held back by Heather. Castalena was voicing her opinion over the matter at hand. Duncan and Angus looked like they were ready to kill. "I will never marry you Lord Henry I can not stand you! Now leave my Uncle's home at once!" A Scottish Werewolf's Love Ch. 4 "Well it seems I have missed the fun and games" Andrew spouted out in a rather sarcastic tone. He went to stand by Lady Heather and his friends. Now mind you Andrew would never ever presume to try and out do the clanswoman but it was his duty to protect her and others in the Clan. Shannan came back and stood by the doorway watching in silence. While Robert gave Andrew a hateful glare, he spoke "Is that your newest conquest Andrew or is she just something to warm your bed" His words dripped with malice. Andrew took all but a footstep and Heather's hand was holding him back. He looked at the lady he could call mother and none would fault him. He heard her words as if they were thunder but Heather spoke not above a whisper. "Not now Andrew lad let it pass" Henry on the other hand was having word of great intent with Castalena telling her in her grief she did not know what she wanted and that she was not in her right mind to make such a poignant decision as this and that she should leave it to her elders. With that Angus pushed past his wife and grabbed the man by the collar. "YOU ENGLISH BASTARD! You dare come into to my home and demand that I give your dammed hide my niece's hand! Have Ye Lost your mind! GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!" Angus started to push Henry to the parlor room door when Robert pulled out a weapon and pointed it at Angus. "Let my lord go!" Robert put the pistol to Angus shoulder. Angus turned to him. "Boy, best ye be putting the pea shooter away before you get hurt" His words were cold and filled with anger. How dare he come in and ride roughshod in his home. "ENOUGH!" Was the next word yelled and it was not by one of the men. It came from Lady Heather whom walked confidently up to Robert and pushed his pistol off her husband's shoulder before Angus lopped the fool's head off. Well being a man of the times he backed down. Henry and Robert backed out of the room. While Henry yelled he would get his revenge for being treated with such malice when he came in good faith and intent. There was a servant by the door whom held it open and then closed it quietly and then disappeared . Inside the parlor three men seethed and boiled with anger. Angus, Duncan and Andrew were spouting off. Now in all this time Castalena had never really seen her Uncle or Duncan this angry. They were past angry, she had never seen such a look on them and Andrew was beside himself. The three men talked amongst themselves till her aunt butted in and Castalena was surprised as hell when her Uncle all but growled at her. She had never seen her Aunt back down from him save for now. It was like he was a madman and she knew better than approach him at this time. Heather turned and walked over to her niece and then gently ushered her and Shannan out of the parlor. It was not going to be of any use for the women to be standing gawking at the three. "Aunt Heather just what in God's name? I have never seen them so angry." She paused in her steps. She looked at her aunt with a troubled look. "Do not worry about it at this time dear" she said with soothing words and a gentle caress. "tis not you. tis that beast of a man Henry. He dared to come to your uncle's home and make demands. Your Uncle would never have that in his own home. Nor would he give your hand to that pig of a man." As the woman walked to another part of the house the three argued in the parlor on how best to deal with Henry and Robert. Angus had to calm Duncan as he wanted to just chase after Henry and rip him to tiny bits bare handed well which he could do but with no second thought what so ever. Andrew on the other hand was quiet for the moment he had come to remember where he and Robert had met before. It was England some years back in school where Andrew was studying architecture. There had been bad blood between the two. Something having to do with a girl they were both trying to court. Turns out she up and disappeared, no trace of her what so ever. Andrew looked at the others. "Well Duncan I think now is a good time for you to ask her to marry you. I have been pondering asking Shannan to be my mate. Well as long at it is alright with you my lord." Angus looked at Andrew with a look of shock. "You wish to marry the lass?" he asked in a shocked if not stunned look Angus had not the clue that his sons best friend was courting one of his house staff. "Well if you truly love the lass you have my blessing seeing as she has no family to speak of. " Angus did not know what else to say. With that Andrew went off to find Shannan. He then turned back to his son. "Now lad go, tis time." It did not take his father prodding him a second time, Duncan went and found Castalena out in the garden. He approached her slowly. He did not want to appear mad or such but inside all the things Henry had said flooded his mind and his hate and anger just boiled. Simply and quietly Duncan went to Castalena and as before bent down. He looked into her eyes. "Bella I am sorry you saw me so angry I would never in my life be that angry with you. You are my life's blood, my heartbeat, and my every breath. Never in all these years has there ever been a time when I have never loved you, wanted you, needed you in my life. I cannot imagine living without you in my life. Castalena looked at those blue eyes of his as her heart began to race. Her flesh got a flush to it and her cheeks became warm with the light pink hue of a blush. "Duncan, I have never told you my heart. I feel the same way." she said with a soft tone. "Bella, be my wife, my mate, my love, please I can not bare to be apart from you any longer." His words were almost a plea, a cry of passion and love mixed into one sweet sound. Castalena never looked away not once did her eyes leave his. She had to see it in his eyes to know if he was telling the truth and he was. Her voice trembled with joy as she gave him his answer. "Yes! I would have married you when we were children if you had asked." She said. As if God's angels spoke to him. His eyes welled with tears. One escaped and rolled down his cheek and she leaned in and kissed it away. Duncan then met her lips with his and they kissed. And it was a kiss to last forever. Andrew had stormed through the house looking for Shannan but the house maid said she had gone for a walk in the forest as the Lady had given everyone the rest of the day off to spend with their families. He raced out of the house his strides were long and well placed he was not running like a normal man would. He had a purpose; he wanted and needed to find her. Finally he came upon her, she had walked to the clearing where they had made love that night under the stars. She was leaning on the rock alter, her head tilted back her face lifted up to the rays of the sun that filtered down. In a swift blinding movement Andrew grabbed her by the upper arms in a grip that was firm and strong but not overly powerful. "Shannan do you love me?" came his words. They were filled with urgency and anger. "Aye Andrew I do. I told ye that, the night we spent here" She looked at him with deep concern. She was not sure why he was so upset past any point she had seen him. She was sure part of it was from what happened in the manor house, but she felt something else was behind it. Andrew looked into her eyes and asked her. "Shannan marry me, I have no fancy words nor do I have great caches of gold. But what I do have will make you a well set woman and I will never ever see you want for anything. I will gladly give my life for you and…." Andrew was silenced by her lips pressing to his in a warm kiss but then Andrew broke it. "Shannan before you answer me. You must know everything about me." "Andrew there is nothing that can change my mind nor my heart" she said to him. Andrew removed the choker from his neck. He placed it in her hand. "If you still love me after I show and tell you who and what I am, put the choker on. If the answer is nae leave it on the rocks" He told her this as he backed away from her. Andrew started removing his clothing. As he did his body began to change, his hair became longer and his hands began to change as well they started to look like paws, like the paws of a wolf. Andrew was turning into a wolf before her very eyes. His eyes became feral and wolfish. All of him turned into a deep brownish rust colored wolf. Shannan stood there gaping at him. Her heart was leaping in her chest but her mind never in all her time would prepare her for what happened next. Slowly Andrews's body began to transform yet again but this time it was not a human form. His body began to crack and snap as his bones reshaped themselves in his head reformed. Within moments there his stood the man she loved. A WERE WOLF! His hands were no longer hands but monstrous clawed paws that could shred a person to bits. Shannan from instinct alone backed away till the small of her back was pressed to the edge of the slab of stone. In her hand she still held the choker, her knuckles where white. He came closer to her, closer his huge frame loomed over her by a good 2 ft if not more. Andrew could sense her heart beating he could smell her scent, the scent every female has. His claws slowly came down at her his head bent slowly till it was by her throat. Shannan held her breath as she though for sure he would rip it in twain but he did not. Instead his animal-like tongue came out and dragged slowly over the warmth of her neck. The roughness of his tongue was strange but exciting, she gasped but did not move a muscle she let him trail his tongue over her shaking flesh. He would lick her as if he tasted her. Then a clawed hand came to slip behind her waist and tugged her roughly to him. He seemed to growl in her ear. but not that of anger but something else. His breath was hot and steamy and it caressed her soft pale skin, it made her shiver but not from cold. Andrew's other hand came up the length of her body, from her thighs to her hips and ribs then to the ample swell of her breast that were held back by the bodice of her dress. Slowly as if intending to entice or seduce her his hands slid over the peak of her breast making her nipples awaken. She closed her eyes for a moment hoping that when she opened them it would be some dream she woke from but it wasn't he was still there before, her caressing her body gently and with great care as he did when he was human. His giant clawed hand came to the top of the bodice of her dress and flicked at the ties there. One by one his sharp claws cut through them like they were nothing, she gasped as his other hand (paw?) continued to caress her here and there. She wanted to scream but there was something inside her that stopped her from screaming. She was not sure why or what it was. She closed her eyes, as she did not wish to see the man she loved tear into her flesh like she was some prey in the wild. As if from some fairy tale a child might hear when young she heard a voice. It was deep and rough but she could understand it. "Shannan can you love me like this. Like the beast I am?" his words seemed to bring her back from her fear of him. When she opened her eyes and looked into those black orbs she could see the hurt and longing and pain in his eyes. Her heat broke and a tear came to her eyes when she saw him weeping. Slowly and without even thinking she put the palm of her empty hand to his face and wiped the tear away. "I do not know if I can live without you in my life Shannan." he said. He leaned his head into the palm of her warm small hand. In that moment she knew she loved him now without question. She moved her hand from his face. She looked into his eyes. She knew his heart and that was all that mattered to her. "Andrew I will not lie. At first all I could think to do was run and never look back. You…this, it is all so strange and freighting to me." As she spoke Andrew felt his heart beginning to break. "Your touch sent shivers so deep into me that I could not run. But…" she paused. Taking a deep breath Shannan reached behind her to her other hand and produced the cross necklace he had given her earlier. "But then I looked into your eyes and saw the man I love standing afore me and I could not run nor could I turn away from his love." With that Shannan put on the necklace, which on her was not a choker but a loose hanging necklace. If a werewolf could show joy Andrew was beaming. "Shannan there is something we need to do. If your are to become my wife and my mate for life." She looked at him. "Andrew I would go through hell and back if you asked me." She told him. His monstrous head bobbed once as his paws came around her face in so gentle a caress as she thought no man could give a woman. "Shannan we must mate as wolf and human for you to be mine. Then…" he seemed to pause. "Then my love I must bite you." He hated to say that but the ritual had to be done if he were to be hers and she his. Andrew waited for her answer. If she left he would not fault her. This was much to ask of any human. Let alone the woman he loved. For a few moments there was silence she did not say anything, she looked into his eyes while her mind tried to understand this overwhelming ordeal. "Then do what you must Andrew for I will not leave you." She said to him. His wolf-like head nodded once more. "So be it then." He would have kissed her but in this form he could not. Slowly his hands moved away the fabric of her peasant dress. Her skin felt the warmth from the sun; she closed her eyes and let what ever was going to happen, happen. She could feel her heart pumping hard and fast as she felt his breath on her skin. Then she felt his fur pressing to her skin as his hands came about her small waist. He pulled her now naked body to his. He towered over her like some great tree in the forest. In one fell move he lifted her to the ritual rock and laid her down. He caressed her face and looked at her lovely beauty. Within he knew he was the happiest man or wolf to live. But then again so were the others when they had found their mate. Andrew began to feel that urge that all his kind felt when the mating was to take place. His heart raced his instincts to be more animalistic plagued every fiber of is being. The urge to take her and feed off her was the test he had to bare. And he had to fight this urge less he would kill her. He looked at her lying there so innocent. Her naked body there for him to love or rip apart. She had not opened her eyes, she looked like a sleeping beauty waiting for someone to wake her. Andrew stalked around her like some primal beast he could smell her, her scent soaked every pore of his being. His hand came out and began to touch her flesh here and there playing with her, like some cat playing with its prey. Andrew growled softly and Shannan took a deep breath as she felt his hand on her body. Her nipples hardened again at his touch. Her mind tried to grasp what it would be like when they mated. Then she felt his paw move her legs, slowly the fell open more. Andrew now stood at the foot of the ritual rock he leaned down to the space that was nestled between her milky colored thighs. Slowly his head neared and his tongue came snaking out of his maw and caressed her sweet nectar dewed womanly lips. Shannan almost jumped off the rock feeling the roughness of his tongue, it was different than a humans tongue. It was longer for one and a bit more powerful and it was rough, like sand. At the moment Andrew smelt her essence and tasted her sweetness his own body reacted like any male. He began to get aroused. His nostrils flared as they took in her scent, he slowly stepped back and then with the speed and agility of a wolf he pounced upon her. He towered above her his own lust apparent. His member began to swell and grow to well a size that had Shannan looked would have made her cringe in fear of it. He grew to his full size of 10 or so inched and with a thickness of about maybe 5 inches in circumference. The head of his own beast throbbed and jumped with excitement and within Andrew fought with his own demon. His growls of lust and hunger echoed in her ears. Her chest rose and fell with every deep breath. Slowly Shannan opened her eyes and looked at him. His expression was feral, hungry, starved even. Shannan was tense and a bit frightened but she made herself stay. She was not going to fear him. She could never fear him. She brought her hands up to his face and spoke softly to him. "Andrew I love you." she said. His body arched and his giant paws grabbed her hips and roughly pulled her to him. The head of his raging member pressed to the tender opening. His lust was driving in him and he fought to keep control. Her body was arched high against him. She could feel him pressing to her wet slit. Something in her begged for him to just plow into her and do what he must and yet part of her wanted to shrink back in terror. Shannan could only think of one thing to stop this fear and torment. She sat up quickly and wrapped her arms around his thick muscular neck and then impaled herself on his penis. A cry of pain and excitement escaped Shannan's mouth as she buried her face in his neck. Andrew forced himself deep into her as he still had a hold of her hips. He sat back some and moved his hips, bucking up into her with deep strokes. Shannan felt him fill her like never before his length and width were almost more then she could stand and he was not fully buried into her waiting depths. Shannan sat atop him for a moment letting him move as her womanhood felt like she had just been split in two. Andrew bucked into Shannan with the force of a beast in heat. She tried desperately to move away to give her self a moment to become accustomed to his huge member but Andrew's lust was building to a even more fanatic height. He took her in a beastly way almost savagely but yet she could feel him holding back. Her soft cries fedl into his wolf shaped ears. His ears twitched as they heard her cry but he could feel himself slipping into a more animal-like lust. He growled as he pushed into her and buried himself fully into her. Shannan bit back a scream but the tears streamed from her eyes. She could feel him jump and throb inside her. Every slight movement he made she felt slowly the pain ebbed and she began to feel him sliding easier, more and more as she became wetter. Andrew's growls trembled into Shannan like the rumbling of thunder. He moved her so that she was laying on the stone her back pressed into it. His arms pushed his torso away from her as his hips drove him in deep. Shannan looked at him then her eyes rolled back under her lids and her hips began to move against him. She forgot all about the pain and just started to make love back to him. Her long legs wrapped somewhat about his huge body pulling her closer to him while his hips meshed against hers. Andrew pressed his body forward and down to hers, while his cock throbbed and slid within the wet walls of her. Faster Andrew moved into her, he had controlled the beast within him for the moment, though the struggle was great. The more excited he got and the closer he came to exploding inside her the harder it was to contain himself and keep control. His lust was almost at its peek. He could sense, smell her need and her excitement, she was close he knew the signs that she was close to cumming. Now he would have to have his greatest amount of strength when she and he came at the same time he would have to bite her. And for his kind the scent and taste of blood was enough to drive him into a frenzy. This is where; if he did not keep control he could kill her. Shannan began panting harder and faster, her hands reached out and grabbed Andrews fur. He could feel the muscles clinching around his altered cock. Shannan screamed in pleasure calling his name as she felt not only her orgasm bombard her body but when Andrew swiftly dropped his head and his maw gapped and then sunk his fangs into her shoulder. In the animal kingdom when some animals mate the male grabs the female keeping her in place as they join together that insures that the connection is unbroken. But it was only part of the reason. A Scottish Werewolf's Love Ch. 5 Note: Contains some graphic violence Days later in England William paced in his study plotting and screaming about how to steal Castalena away from the McClouds. He had decided that playing the nice gentlemen was not going to work. He now needed to resort to more desperate means. He had dealt with her father and now it was time to deal with Duncan and his family. He would not let his little golden trinket get away. Not this easily, but what and how would he accomplish this task? Just then Robert walked in. "My Lord you did call for me?" he said William turned and gave his confident a sly grin. 'Robert" he said. "I have a task for you. I wish you to go and spy on my Lady Revali and persuade her that she should come back to England with you, if you know what I mean. I would go but for now, none can now of what I am. Castalena and I have already had two run-in's and I do not wish to arouse the suspicions of any one especially her. Do you understand me?" Robert grinned "Oh yes my Lord I fully understand. And by what means should I persuade the good Lady to return?" he questioned. In a rather rough and deadly seriously dreadful tone he uttered "By any all means. None! Should or will stand in my way of that lil bitch and her fortune. Do I make myself clear?" Robert got a wicked snarl to his lips, he bowed and left the companionship of his Lord and went to make plans. He would need a few things for the travel. While back in the study William looked out at the night and felt the tug, yes that yearning. Swiftly he walked from the window to the book case where he touched the torch and pulled there revealing a hidden passage. Hurriedly he took the stairs. By the time William reached the bottom of the stair well he had changed, changed into a wolf with rustic colored fur and pitch black eyes, the same wolf that had stalked Castalena those few times. Yes William had been that eerie wolf. And he knew that the black wolf was her champion Duncan. Once William's plans were in place he would make a final trip to Scotland. There he would destroy the McClouds and rule the clan and keep Castalena at his side to bare him many strong sons. But he would make Duncan suffer in the worse way. He would let Duncan see with his dying breath his precious Love being taken by another. Seeing her ravaged before his eyes as the life's blood ebbed away. Listening to her screams as he took her over and over again knowing that his seed would be the one to spill into her and impregnate her, not his own. Then the McCloud line would die. That was the madness of his plan but only the beginning. Now William ran from the passage ways of the house out into the streets. His guise as a wolf made no never mind as he looked like a dog. He slunk in the shadows stalking out his next victim. Who would it be what luscious tart would he devour this night. His appetite was ravenous. He needed to feed on fresh flesh and blood among other things. His body burned for many things and he needed to sate the growing pains of hunger that toiled inside his mind and body. He stalked the streets looking for the perfect victim and there she was like a devil sent idol. A woman of no more then 20 if such, standing by the front of grand apartment building * other wise known as a Hotel* the pale blue dress clung well to her sweet light frame. William began to change into the beast that was within. He stalked her as she walked. He caught her scent and waited for her to go with in. He then waited till she had settled in her apartment he was able to track her by her scent he had no problem doing that he was an expert tracker for sure, on scent alone he would find her. Then like a ghost in the night he would scale the walls and climb to her window.. And soon she would be his sweet treat for the night, or maybe not. Maybe he would need more then one. A sick sounding hissing snicker was heard. He waited for a moment till the lady had entered the other room before he slithered his form in through and open window. There he waited, waited for his moment. He would take great pleasure from her before her final breath was taken. The woman went into the other room where she began to undress but not before lowering the shades over the windows. She hummed a wonderful old English tune as she disrobed. William had now changed once again into a man. He went about the room snuffing out the candles, making the room pitch black. As the poor girl readied for bed she heard an odd shuffling noise coming from the front room. When she went to see what was going on, she found that the window was ajar and had blown all the candles out in the room. She walked to the window and closed it the rest of the way then drew shut the curtains and headed off to the other room to retire for the night. William stood in the darkness of the room clad only in the night's gentle caress of darkness. He watched his prey head off into the other room, he contemplated the pleasures he would take from her tender flesh. Just the thought of her made his body shake with wicked evil lust. He could feel his blood race in his veins; it made the beast wake and grow. He felt its throbbing as it came to life knowing the feeding of sweet womanly flesh was about to come, how it would enjoy feeding upon it as well. William waited till he knew she was in bed an asleep before he made his way into the room. There he watched her sleep her chest rising and falling under the sheet. William came closer to her slowly as not to wake her just yet. His human hand caressed over the covering with a light touch taking every curve of her luscious body in. Slowly he pulled back the coverings to expose her body to his hungry eyes. There she lay now only covered by a sheer night dress. Slowly his hand began to play over her body slowly awakening her. His fingertips slid down her throat then to her shoulder slowly it trekked its way over her breasts taunting the nipples to respond to his touch. And they did so. Her nipples became as hard as pebbles at his touch. He grinned as her body woke to his touch. He would begin to kiss her neck and shoulders as his hand undid the front lacing to her nightdress. He pushed the soft material aside and let the bareness of her skin touch his own. His huge sized hand encircled her right breast and massaged it. He began to kiss her more and lower till his mouth was poised over her nipple. There he began to suckle on it gently at first as he wanted her body to burn with lust and heat. As he did the other breast was manipulated by his fingers. He then slid his tongue across the fleshy valley between them till his tongue tripped over the immensely other hard nipple. There his tongue swirled around it, tormenting it some more. His hand grabbed at the fabric of her night dress and pulled it up to her hips. She began to moan softly as her body began to wake to his ministrations of lust. Her heart began to beat at a quicker pace her flesh began to get warm with the felling of sexual awakening. He softly growled, as his hands pushed her thighs apart some, as his fingers could seek out that sweet wetness that he had started to draw from her as he woke her in this manner. He heard her heart beating and felt it between her thighs. His fingers pressed father between her soft folds till he found the small throbbing mound of nerves. There he pressed his fingers a bit harder and rubbed her slowly. She moaned in a half awake state. His mouth trailed down across her body till it met with the fabric. Then for a moment his fingers stopped their assault on her clit just for the moment it took for him to rip away the night dress. She gasped in her half excited state of arousal as she felt the tugging and heard the sound of her night dress fall into tatters. In her mind she thought this was some lust filled dream. Little did the poor unsuspecting woman know that by the end of her dream she would not wake. William licked his way over her sweet tender skin nipping at it here and there making her body jump under him. His tongue trailed father south past her belly button till it met with the soft thick mass of pubic hair. He could smell her even more not her scent was driving him. He pushed her thighs wider to accommodate him. Then he snaked out his raspy tongue to flick over her clit this caused the poor girl to just writhe some. He felt her move in his grasp and an evil grin came to his lips as he then nestled his lips against the small blood filled nub and drew it into his waiting mouth. There he licked and flicked his tongue out over it and sucked on it all together making her body stiffen with pleasure. She gasped, moaned and grabbed at the bedding as her body was plagued with the hot feelings of sexual desire which he just flamed further by slipping a finger into her wet depths. There to his surprise he felt the barrier of her womanhood. Oh, this was more then he had hoped for, she was a virgin and that drove him to suck harder and tease her inner walls with his finger. William knew her blood would be sweet when he fed on her tender flesh. She moaned louder at his teasing. Her body became hotter with desire and wetter with every stroke of his beckoning finger within her. Her hips moved of their own accord, giving him a tell tail sign that she was lost now to his sexual advances on her person. Slowly William slinked down the length of her soft hot body, his tongue leaving a damp trail of saliva as he did. Ah! Her flesh was hot and her taste would soon be lapped up by his invading tongue. His hands raked over her sides as he went lower and lower till his hungry mouth was poised over the virginal flesh of her wet warm womanhood. Slowly he sank his head down till his long rough tongue could flick at the blood gorged throbbing little nub of nerve endings. The girl's whole body jumped at the flicking tongue, and again he tortured her with his tongue, slipping it over the tender fleshy of her womanly virtue. William could begin to taste the sweet nectar that his tongue was teasing froth from her body. With that his flicking juice coated tongue pushes past the outer lips and into her wet opening. The woman all but flew off the mattress, had she not been held tight in his grip. Her moans echoed in his well trained ears, which just in tern makes him drive his tongue deeper into her wet depths. William's hands held to her hips in a vice like grip while his tongue makes the woman writhe on the bed under him. Williams thought were that he could devour this tender morsel lie this for a rather long time till her body shook violently with the spasms of orgasm after orgasm rendering her even more helpless against him. A snide smile curled his lips then with a flash his mouth surrounded her clit and sucked just hard enough to cause her body to arch into him. He relished in the excitement her body was going through at his actions. He feed hungrily off the tender flesh making her crazy with lust knowing soon that her body would yield to him. Her breathing was labored and ragged her chest rose and feel in a fast motion. Her skin was dotted with small beads of sweat her hand clinched while surprisingly her other one reached down to lace her fingers in his thing mane of hair. William growled into her silt in excitement as she did this. It was a sing that she was beyond rational thinking. Williams feeding upon her became now more ravenous as he was spurred on by the clinching of her fingers in his hair. Slightly pushing he hand to his the back of his head making the kiss deepen. His tongue lapped at her flesh pulling the sweet taste of her into his mouth. Not too much after that William hear the cries of her as she was thrown into a spasm of ecstasy of her most likely first orgasm. He drank the hot fluid as if it was liquor that was meant to be savored and devoured at the same time. Her body rocked under him but he did not relent. He licked the hot tart and tangy feminine juice as if it were life giving blood to him. The woman moaned and cried out in pleasure, both hands splayed out on the bed sheets then grabbing them in bunched up masses in her trembling hands. Her hips bucked wildly as much as possible, yet William did not stop his feasting. When the woman's body lay in a heap William crawled his way up her length, her chest was heaving her mind a whirl in a fog of her experience. Her breath was almost not even there it was so hard for her to catch. William knew her dilemma of ecstasy was her undoing and his triumph over her. He nipped and licked the saltiness of her hot skin, as a deep rumbling growl echoed in his throat and chest. His animal self raged to get out and feed off her flesh, but no not yet, he sought another tender pleasure from her first. He bit at her throat gently making sure not to break the skin as his hands reached for her hips. He laid between her now wildly spread thighs, his beast, throbbing ready to have its on feast. It sought to burry itself deep in the sheath of her body it twitched and ached to have its hunger filled. William looked t the innocent female that lay under him a evil grin formed on his lips as he mind began to flow, thought of the sexual pleasure he was about to take from this one made the beast with in begin to wake. Unlike the others, William did not care if his beast got out of control. He thrived on the bitterness, the blood, and the rage. There was only one woman he would even consider trying to hold the beast back for but for the moment she was not an issue he would deal with her later. With out any warning or even a care William slammed his cock up to the hilt into the woman. The woman screamed as her virginity was taken in an unceremonious way. With out care or concern, William slide into her with out any effort as she was soaked from the lavishing of his tongue on her sweet young untouched virginity. With a savage fury he pounded into her time after time till the cries of pain her deep moans of sweet unbridled pleasure as his cock took what pleasure it wanted from the woman beneath him. The inner beast in him began to surface slowly. His back began to pop and arch as he continued his onslaught of sexual ravaging of her body. His hands began to curl some as they grew into huge paw like objects, as his skin began to change as well all the hair started to grow longer and thicker. His eyes became more feral. William began to change to his inner more true self. To say he was an animal was doing a discredit to the animal world. Her moans of pleasure began to change into grunts and groans as he plowed his manhood into the unknown woman. Savagely he took his pleasure, on and on heaving his now huge werewolf body to hers. His lycanthrope state was in full measure. A great knot began to fill the woman's ravaged slit lending only more to the pleasure of his unrelenting attack on her body. Williams cock throbbed within its soaked sheath moving harder and faster with every pounding thrust. In his maddened lust driven state he growled loudly and burst within her spilling his evil seed into her. The woman's own climax was sent over the edge as his pulsing beast let loose within her she grabbed onto his forearms and dug her nails into his wolfs body. William was to the point of howling when she did that, being as the pain was almost pleasurable to him. As she came slowly down from the pure ecstasy of the sexual experience she just had, she looked up to see to her eyes a horrid sight of some beastly looking creature that was fucking her for his own pleasure. She would have screamed but her voice was quieted only by the fright that took her over. William turned his muzzle down to peer at her, his eyes and hers locked. His wolf-like mouth drooled and it fell on her pinkish hued skin. A low growl cam from his throat, she was pinned to the bed by its mighty paws and body. He lowered his head and sniffed at her his hips rocked forward into her savagely again and again causing the woman to cry soft sobs. When William found him self climaxing yet again he almost let out his primal howl. This time the woman found herself screaming for help. Her scream snapped William out of his devilish euphoric state just as the woman was about to scream again William's head lowered, all but a sickeningly muffled gurgled, and crunch was heard as he stifled her scream. The crunch that was heard was that of the poor helpless woman's throat being crushed in William's massive jaws. Once the last of her heart beat was felt and the woman life's blood ebbed onto the sheets of the bed, William dislodged himself from her dead body and stretched to his full 8 foot plus height and growled and turned as she heard people scurrying in the halls towards the room. Quickly William made his way to the window whence he came from and scurried himself into the darkness of the night only to hear the yell for the constables to be called as there had been a murder. Two Days later back in Scotland The sun shone brightly on the warm summer's day Castalena and Duncan, Andrew and Shannan all walked along the gardens together. They talked of a double wedding in one month's time. Both men walked with their brides to be close and in the inside as they themselves walked on the outside in a most protecting manner. Shannan was not used to such treatment. She was no longer a servant but going to be a wife to Andrew, some what part of the Mc Cloud clan and family. Something she had never been part of before, well not in this manner. Neither woman had any idea what was about to befall them, to be married to two such loving and totally devoted men was more then most women could ask for. The two couples stopped and sat on a stone bench. Andrew and Duncan sat on the warmth of the dark green of the grass while their ladies sat upon the stone bench. Out of now where Andrew spoke….. " I was thinking I think it would be a wonderful idea if we were all to get a painting done, of all four of us and have two copies made. Then we could both have a copy and be reminded of this glorious time, when we are old and grey." "Here Here!" Duncan piped up "That is a marvelous idea Andrew to bad you thought of it first" he chuckled. Both women laughed and nodded thinking it was a wonderful idea. Shannan posed a question though. "Before or after we are wed?" "Good question what do you suggest?" Duncan asked. "Well why not after when the weddings are done with. Then we will have time to think on how we wish it to be painted." said Castalena. The four talked and laughed for quiet some time before they headed back in to have a light noon meal. When it was done Castalena excused her self and went to her room to rest. The heat of the day made her a bit weary, so she thought a short nap maybe an hour or two would make her feel refreshed. She disrobed some leaving only her undergarments on. She pulled her hair out of its pinned up state to leave it flow over her shoulders and down her back. She crawled in bed, lay under a light coverlet, and closed her eyes. She must have been more tired then she thought as she drifted right off. She began to dream almost right away about her child hood her family, Duncan and other such things. While down stairs in the sitting room the others talked about things. Andrew informed Duncan that Shannan knew everything about him and his alter self and was totally excepting of the fact that he was who and what he was. Shannan was shocked somewhat to find out that Duncan and the rest of the men about the manor house were also Were's. But it was not a bad thing she was comfortable with it all. Shannan looked to Andrew "Tell me how it all came to pass, how you all came to be?" Andrew looked to his old friend Duncan and wondered if he should not go and get Angus to tell this tale. But then Duncan spoke up. "Shannan I have something to ask of you. Castalena does not know of yet and wish of her not to know till I tell her. And the chance of you telling her is too great so I ask to bind you to our secret till such time as she knows." A Scottish Werewolf's Love Ch. 5 She looked at him then to her husband to be. She could have persuaded it but she thought not to and left it at that accepting Duncan's request. Duncan left the two alone and went out to the stable where he began to groom his horse Titan. He took a deep breath and let it out slowly as he pondered how Bella would take the news of him and what he was. He hoped in his heart and soul that it would not make a difference. Yes he knew her well inside and out but still there was always that small part of him that wondered. And it would not be laid to rest till she knew it all and accepted him as is. Too much had pasted for this relationship not to continue. Duncan and Bella had been through so much already from child hood to now. Duncan's hand stroke the neck of his noble horse Titan while his mind drifted away to when Bella was twelve years old. It was the holidays and they had traveled to Italy to spend Christmas with Bella and her family. Each year they would switch off houses to celebrate at, he remembered the food and fare the music and the hours of just being with her. If he had one wish in all his life it would to be spend every moment of his life holding her close to him and never letting her go. And he planned to make that come true as much as possible when they married. While Duncan seemed to day dream, a tall rugged looking beef of a man entered the stables and bowed deeply. He had dark brooding eyes and dark thick hair. His voice rumbled when he spoke. "My Lord forgive the intrusion... but word has come that two days past there was an attack in England and that it might be *he emphases the might be* one of our own kind. Donald sent word from the police station that the woman's throat was ripped out... by some sort of K-9... she was sexually assaulted. He suspects one of two and I need not tell you who those two might be. " Duncan got red faced... which was hard for him with such dark toned skin. He growled out his words. "I swear that if I did not think it would cause a clan war I would hunt the bloody son of a bitch down and rip his lying cheating no good rotten heart out with my own hand! He is going to cause too much attention to our kind. And wind up getting us all killed!" Duncan slammed his fist against the paddock wall making the wood plank give way some. His anger boiled like a tea kettle on the stove. But Duncan was quick to get a handle on his temper less he do something rash. He gave the man instructions to have William, Robert followed night and day, and to make sure no one else was unduly killed. Later that night as they all sat about the table having a late dinner the topic of discussion was wedding plans. Angus was sipping his scotch while the chatter went about when his son made a slight motion to talk to his father and Andrew outside on the back porch. The men excused themselves from the table and went out side to talk. Duncan looked at his father and tried to find the right words to tell him first what he had been told earlier about William. And then to ask him some questions on marriage. Duncan had always been the confident type but when it came to his Bella he was unsure at times. Angus smiled and gave both young men his advice. "My Boys, there is only a few things in the life of a married husband that you should always remember. 1) Treat your wife with respect and dignity and honor. 2) Never EVER anger her most women are worse then any men when anger is involved..*he laughed as he knew his own wife's anger* and most of all the last thing is always be honest and talk with her no matter how small or trivial the matter might seem. Both women you are going to marry are going to be part of a clan that most would not accept as a part of normal life or even reality. But you have both picked extraordinary women to marry and I am sure your lives will be blessed many times over. Other then that my boys your on your own." Angus laughed knowing both men were in for nothing but an exciting life with the women they were going to marry. Angus had to admit to himself that had Heather turned him down there would have been no other woman in his life that filled his heart and soul, as she had done over the years. Angus turned and looked into the dinning rooms balcony doors, and so did Duncan and Andrew. "You know Gents we three are the luckiest men to walk god's good earth. We have managed to find three of the most loving, caring, compassionate and beautiful women in all of Christendom and there they sit like exquisite pieces of art work to admire from near and far. And they are our wives to be and your wife sir." Andrew said while he gazed at Shannan's shining face as it beamed with such loveliness that it made his heart all but burst with joy. The other two nodded in agreement at Andrews words. All the men had happy expressions on their faces as the looked at the three beauties at the table. Heather looked up and saw the faces of the men gazing in through the window and she waved and commented to the others that they were being stared at by three roguish looking men. The others looked up and began to chuckle. At that moment Angus opened the door to the dinning room and stepped in with the others. "Aye lasses what be ye laughing at?" he questioned. But he got the classic answer from his wife "Nothing my dear, nothing at all". But Angus knew better then to trust that statement, as he knew his lovely wife to well. He did wonder what wicked things they spoke of while they had been outside talking themselves. With out another word from his wife the ladies got up, went to their respective men, kissed them on their cheeks, and smiled. "My dear the lass's and I were discussing the plans for weddings and we came up with a wonderful idea. In one months time they wish to be wed and they thought it would be a lovely idea that we make it a triple wedding." Angus looked to his wife slightly puzzled. "My dear what are you thinking about?" he asked. "Well I thought it would be nice if we re-wed. Seeing as there is already going to be a double wedding why not make it a triple. The girls seem to think it is a wonderful idea. What do you think love?" she asked. But Angus knew his wife well enough to know that she was enthused about it, as he could see it in her eyes. "As you wish my wife I would marry you again every day of the year if that what made you happy." Heather smiled and it was settled in one month's time there would be a triple Scottish wedding. With that the couples smiled and bid each good night and went on their way. Angus and Heather went to their room, Andrew took Shannan to hers, while Duncan and Castalena stood on the balcony wrapped with in each others arms. He held her close to him feeling the warmth of her body mingle with his own. He took a deep breath and all he could smell was the scent of her. A soft yet strong scent that she had that it filled his every fiber. His face lay gently to the side of hers. His scruffiness brushed the side of her face and chuckled as it tickled. Duncan gave her a gentle squeeze which hugged her closer to him if at all possible. Nothing was said for the longest time. He could hold her for an eternity just this way and be the happiest man alive. Bella laid her head against his massively strong chest and let his body embrace her own. She sighed softly quite happy to be this way as well for all time. The silence was only broken by the sound of a wolf far off howling in the clear of the night. Bella looked up at the sound of the howl. "I love the sound they make at night. At times I wish I was a free as they are." In that moment Duncan's heart must have skipped a beat or two to hear his beloved make such a comment. Maybe his fears were quelled at that moment. She could feel his hands shake, she turned and looked at him and spoke softly. "Duncan?? Is something wrong your hands are shaking like a leaf in autumn?" He looked at her and spoke "No love I am fine just a chill from the night air is all." Lord did he lie it was not the night that made the burly Scotsmen shake like a leaf but it was, her own words that did it to him. Duncan thought to him self, *maybe it is time for me to tell her.* But how was the next thing. Then it came to him. "Well Bella it is time for this man to rest you have worn me out."*he chuckled* as he talked.* Castalena nodded and moved from her warm comfortable place in his arms. Duncan lead her back to her room, there he looked into her eyes and caressed the soft colored cheek then leaned down and placed the most loving and tender of kisses to her warm lips as any man in 100 years had done before him. Once the kiss was broken he opened the door to her room and watched her enter, then he smiled and closed the door then went to his room, or did he? Duncan turned and walked down the hall way to his room but then turned and headed for the library and entered the great room. Seeing as she was the only one awake this would be an easy way to do this. So he opened the balcony doors and stepped away. Duncan removed his clothing leaving his strong well toned body naked and bathed in the moon lights slight glow. Slowly Duncan began to change his body began to grow thick black fur long shinning strands of fur. His hand as large as they were already began to change into wolven paws. His body fell slowly to the floor on all fours till he was totally consume with his wolfs form. He gave a shake and his fur seemed to settle along his body in a flat manner not the way it had been as he changed, more of an upright fashion. Duncan slipped out of the Library doors and down the balcony walkway to her room where he began to paw at the door to make a scratching sound. He wanted to get her attention, hoping she would open the door and so she did. Castalena opened the door," Hello?" she said as she looked around and saw the Black wolf standing there at her doorway. 'Well well, what are you doing here my forest friend?" she questioned as she began to lean down and pet him. But, he moved away and down the walkway some waiting to see if she followed. When she did not he gave a slight barking sound hoping that would give her the clue. 'What is wrong?" she asked and then walked after the wolf. But he did not stay there he moved down further till he came to the library doors and slipped with in the darken room. She followed and walked into the great room, she looked for her wolf but some how he was gone? How could that be she thought she followed him in here, but then a shimmering light caught her eye as its glow came from under and around the edge of a section of the book casing. Castalena moved to the book case and gently touched it. At that the section moved and swung gently open to reveal a room. Yes it was a room behind the books. In the room there was a podium with a book, and on the walls were these portrait's of…. She could not believe her eyes there on the wall were her Uncle Angus, her father, Duncan and Andrew and some other men she did not know. And on the other wall facing the men were Pictures. Pictures of her Mother and her Aunt Heather and now two empty frames hung there as if waiting for their hosts to come, but why, who were they for she wondered. She walked to the book and there on the front was a symbol of a woman who was lying down and lay afore her was a wolf. She ran her fingers over the smooth leather covering of the book then slowly and with great care respect, Castalena flipped the pages one by one. She began to read. *Book Entry #1* Here is the story of our lives, how it all began. It was a cold winter as I remember and the weather was dreary as it ever could be. It was hunting time. Time to eat and find food for the rest, as I searched the forest for a deer or such I saw what only could be described as an angel, she was a perfection of the god's creations walking about the forest. I followed her for what seemed forever then I remembered what I had come here to do. I began to hunt for food for the others I came upon a deer foraging on some winter grass. I lay down and prepared to strike out and kill my prey when the silence of the forest was broken by the scream of the woman I had seen but moments before. I remember racing through the forest till I found her. There some other hunter had her pinned to the forest floor. I leapt at the hunter and knocked him off and we began to fight. When it was all said and done, the hunter was dead. I though, did not escape uninjured. I went to check on the woman she had but scrapes and scratches nothing too deadly. Seeing she was fine, I went off to tend to my own wounds, I did not make it a yard or two when I collapsed. When I woke, I found myself laying afore a fire covered and bandaged. My head felt like it was pounding my eyes stung as I opened them slowly. Once I could focus I saw I was within a simple cottage and the woman lay on the rug sleeping so peacefully I had not the heart to wake her. Slowly I rose and walked about the cottage looking about taking things in. She must have been a healer of some sorts. Dried herbs wild flowers roots and such hung drying all about the kitchen. There was a large bed in one corner table with chairs, a few books, some sewing. Not much, but it seemed comfortable. I noted that the roof and other things were patched and badly. But I could not do anything at the time. To help but I had set in my mind that I would help her as she had come to help me. Hearing her begin to wake I went back to her side. She was beautiful. Dark eyes long chestnut hair, like the color of the earth in spring. Her eyes opened all the way and she smiled. Gods, her face was like an angels, I could have gotten lost in her eyes and stayed such forever. For the next two days I stayed with her till I was strong enough to leave on my own. In those two days something happened to me. I had fallen in love. Yes, yes I know it is impossible. But I tell you it is true. It was if my heart was struck with cupid's arrow and pierced fully. We lay there night after night and in the day she would toil in her daily chores. That night while we lay resting by the fire, she sat up and smiled then looked me over, checked the bandages, and made sure the wounds I had suffered were healing. She made me something to eat and took care of me for the next 2 or so days till I was able to leave on my own, which I did late the last night. I did not want to see her eyes when I left. Months past and I kept silent watch over her from afar till the storm came. I knew she would not be able to hunt for her self. And I worried that her cottage would not weather the storm. So I would hunt and leave the fresh kill by her door. In hopes she would find it out side her door at least she would have food. I had no way to fix the rest, Yet. The storm past and all was well again. I started to stay about her cottage more and more. I could not nor did I want to be with out her in some way shape or form. Every day since then I have made my way to her front door and we spent many days and night in each others company. Months past and then a year, then two, she and I went for a long walk in the forest on a summer's night when things were green, fresh and full of life. We sat under the moon and the stars in this glade that was surrounded by trees. She looked at me and uttered words I thought my ears might never hear. "Had I been born wolf or you human I think we could have been happy. We could have loved and had a wonderful life. Fate is cruel to put two beings together who's time is spent as ours is." In that moment I felt my heart sink as her words spoke only the truth. Her touch was a simple pet as it had always been with me at her side, or as we walked along the forest together. How connected yet totally apart were we. I hated to leave her when the nights ended. But for now we were together. And that was enough for me. We stayed laid out under the blanket of stars for hours till she had fallen asleep on me. In the dark I heard the shuffling of footsteps. Immediately, I moved and she woke she looked around but yet her eyes nor could her sense of smell know what was coming as I did. Protectively I poised myself in front of her, ready for a fight. Out of the forest came the hunter's men they were bent on hunting down my protected friends within the great confines of the forest. I pushed Elizabeth back, back further behind me while the men advanced. I gave them fair warning not to trifle with me, I let out a loathsome howl as another warning and a call to my brethren to come to me so that we might relieve ourselves of this menace the plagued us. The hunter's cooed and tried to get Elizabeth from my side but it just kept her closer. She stood by me as if trying to protect me from these men but it was I that was doing the protecting. They stalked closer and before I knew it one reached out for my love and the battle was on. I leapt from my spot and lunged at the closest intruder catching him in the face and throat. Mangling him in an instant, where as the others stalked after me, I could not see Elizabeth but I could hear her screams as one of the hunters pawed at her and made unpleasant comments about her and myself. In the fight I had not realized that the man I attacked had stabbed me fatally, but I had not known it yet. I could feel my anger seething with in as I fought tooth and nail against my assailants with every thing I had. Then it came that sharp burning flooded my body as if my blood was on fire and I became weak. I realized that I had been hurt one of the hunter's had stabbed me with his blade leaving a great gash in my side. Had I known how bad it was I would have been amazed at how I could continue the fight but I did, through blurry eyes I could see her, see her being pulled upon and tugged away by these lecherous men. Then to my ears and eyes I saw wolves immerge from the forest. These were the same wolves I had come to know and care for and trust. They out numbered the hunters in a great mass. Elizabeth was set free as the men tried to defend themselves from the oncoming onslaught of fangs and claws that were about to strike. She came to me her eyes spilt tears like a river in spring after the winters thaw. I could not see her well but her hand stroked my head and she soothed my pain with the tender tone of her voice. As my life drained from me my last thoughts were of how I wished that the gods had granted me a single moment as a human so that I might hold her and kiss those lips, holding her to me. Taking her in my arms, looking into her eyes, and professing my undying love for her or making love to this woman for hours on end. As I lay there within a pool of my own blood I remembered praying to the gods that they would deliver me quickly now into their hands and keep my beloved Elizabeth safe for all time. Then the eerie silence came over me, I could not see nor hear the forest or my loves voice the end of my time had come. Then what had seemed hours or days later I woke in my glade where I had remembered last being, but there was strangeness to it, there was a image with a shinning light glowing about it. My eyes strained to see past the glow but it was hard. I asked aloud 'who are you?" and a gentle voice replied "I am the sprite of the forest. The one who protect all that dwell within my boundaries. I have come to talk with you Logan. For Years now you have protected those that live here, human, animal or other wise and for that I am grateful. I have heard those silent prays and I have come to answer it." She said. "My Pray? But good sprite I am dead already what prays have I uttered that you can answer?" I question her not fully understanding what was going on or where I was really. 'Logan you gave your life freely to protect the woman you love. You gave no thought to your own safety and that is the most noble of things. No caring being could do more for another then to give their life. So I have come to grant your wish and give you a second chance at life." A Scottish Werewolf's Love Ch. 5 When upon hearing her words I felt my heart race and my knees go weak, so much I fell to them in a grateful way. "Mistress of the forest I am humbled by your presence and power. I am not worthy of such a gift." I said to her, then the light dulled and she was only the second most beautiful woman in all my years. Her hair was golden like the sun her eyes green as any blade of grass. Her skin was deep and rich the color of honey in the comb. There was only one in my eye that out shined this sprite, this apparition that was before my so unworthy eyes. "Logan what I am bout to give you comes with a heavy price. And should you accept it then those to follow in your line will pay the price with you. It is not something to be taken lightly. Do you understand?" "Yes I do. The forest is my home and will protect it with all that I am and any that need it." I said still my head bent in respect. "Rise then and see what I have seen." I rose and walked to her. I was not sure what I was about to see but I knew with in me that I had nothing to fear. She bid me turn and look upon my glade which I did and there to my eyes lay all the wolves in what looked like a morning circle. " My children are protecting the body of a falling family member till such time as I bid them leave, there you lie Logan stilled in deaths shroud and your loving Elizabeth is still by your side even now she will not leave. A love so pure as this is never gone unnoticed. I will send you back but know this from now on you live a double life. And for all time all any of your descendants will suffer the same. There but only 5 others that in my life I have given this gift and the come now, as some day you will should any other be worthy of my gift. Look." She pointed and from the forest came 5 men, 5 women and a gathering of children about them. I wondered who these 10 men and women were. The lady then told me that they like myself had loved with out question and solely to one person. And for their pure love for the other and those that dwelled in her forest they were granted this gift. All I could think of was that I would be back with my love and my life and some how she knew, she knew that I would do what ever she asked of me. Then she bid me walk to my body that lay cold on the ground which I did. She told me next, "Logan, from now on you will live your life as wolf and man. But not an ordinary wolf, but a wolf that is a cross of man and wolf. With the strength to rival any tree in my forest, with free thought and feeling and emotion and all the instincts of the wolf, you will be able to change these forms at will. But with this gift you are also endowed with the charge of protecting all that seek help and refuge within the forest walls. Do you except this gift?" "HUMAN?!??! I will be human? I asked. She just nodded to me. Human, if I were such then I could be with Elizabeth for ever." I exclaimed. Yes! I almost yelled at the top of my lungs. My grateful thanks were uttered over and over to the woman. I swore on my life to do as she bid me. With that I felt myself being drawn back, back into the shell of my dead body. "I am the first of this clan, the goddess has blessed me above all others with a mate whose love sees no bounds and no lines. I, Logan Anthony McCloud the 6th of my kind have been given the most wondrous of all gifts. By the grace of the gods and all that dwell with in I have been given human life. I have seen in my dreams the long line of my blood for the ages and how we will survive this world, I have created this book as a tale of lineage of those to come after me. May all who come to this clan be honest and true if they break the scared trust given unto them may the burn in the fires of hell and never have a moment's peace.. Upon reading the entry Castalena moved away from the book in disbelief of what she had just read. Her face streamed with tears as her mind swam with the thoughts of what she just read. Animal turned into human. It's not possible there is no way that such could happen. She muttered as she looked around the room at all the pictures. Then she looked at the wall right in front of her and it was as if a bolt of lightening had struck her and she reeled backwards almost falling. Her heart raced and her breathing became erratic, her eyes were wide open as it hit her that the 6 men and 6 women were the original ones, the once that began this Clan. Castalena made her way back to the book to see what if anything happened, she had to know it burned inside her but yet in the same breath she was frightened to know the truth. Book Entry # 2 The next thing I remembered was the sound of my heart and then those of my brethren and last the sounds of those mourning about me. My eyes opened to see the shine of the sun and the blue of the sky. I was alive, alive! I moved my head and saw her, my love my life my own, slowly I got up with a grunt and a weak stagger to my feat. The others backed away as I stood not in fear but in reverence that I was alive again. The 10 and the host of children came forth and knelt by me. One I heard say. "Come brother it is time for you to become a part of this realm of humanity." I knew what he meant and with his words I began to will my self to change. The thought that I could hold her in my arms and kiss her lips was all I needed to inspire me to change into a Man. As I began to change I felt the pain of my body as it morphed into it new form. Growing changing, my legs became arms and human legs. My paws hands with fingers my head shaping to that of a human my fur leaving me replaced by a richly toned skin color. Every muscle screamed in pain but I did not care all I knew was I wanted to be with her. A scream of pain echoed in the woods as I finally became human. I fell to my knees gasping for breath, my lungs burning to breathe. My whole body a mass of tense and strained muscles, all I could do was stay there with out moving. I lifted my head and all I could see was a veil of my own raven black hair, my body ached so that I could not move my arms to move the hair from my face. It was then I felt hands lift me to my feet and support me. Then, there I could see my Elizabeth still knelt on the ground looking at him in disbelief. Gods, did she think I was horrid or some unspeakable beast? I spoke," Elizabeth?" it was all I could say. She looked at me with curious eyes and surprise. I saw the 5 women go to her and help her stand she was in shock, which I could fully understand as so was I at this. She stood with the help of the others then slowly took a step towards me. She reached out to me touching my face tracing it with her soft warm hands. I closed my eyes and reveled in her touch it was like life, it gave me strength it feed my body and I could stand on my own. The others stepped back and I looked at her, I could see nothing but love in her even if she now ran from me I could not stop loving her. I took her hand in mine and put it to my chest where my beating heart lay. "Elizabeth I have been given a new chance in this life. I love you would every fiber that I am and will be. Please say that you love me and will be mine forever?" Stunned she just looked at me. She opened her mouth to speak. "I do not even know your name." was all she could say. "My name is Logan" I replied. Had I not been there I never would have believed it my self, her hand slipped behind my head and pulled me to her. Her lips met mine, so soft and warm I could never have imagined such sweetness. My instinct took over and I pulled her to me in a heated kiss and embrace holding her to my strong human body. She clung to me as if clinging to life itself. I could feel her body shake in my grasp which made me break the kiss and look at her. "Love, speak to me your shaking." I had a voice and could speak, never again would my words go unheard ever, ever again. "Your so" I finished that sentence for her "alive. The gods gave me a chance at life again and a chance to be with you." I said and then began to tell her what happened while I was dead. Beth started crying like a child which worried me. "Love what? What's wrong, why are you crying?" my voice shook with fear. "Your alive and human my prays and dreams have come true. I feel as if this were a dream" she spoke in a hushed voice. "No it is not a dream this is real we are all real and blessed but the forest to be so. We are all the children of the forest once wolves as he was now we are both Wolves and Humans." One of the men said and walked to us. "Come now and meet those that are your family the others that serve and protect all that need it here." He said. Had I not looked fully at my Beth and then realized I was naked I would have come to spend my time with out clothing. But it seemed no one minded really, but with in the group a woman came forth with pants and a simple shirt, and handed them to me. Gratefully I accepted them and got dressed. I rejoin my love and my family and we spoke, my new life had begun and I would never ever forget this moment for all my time. Life was good and this was how it began. Here with in I will enter the first of the names of my line…. I Logan McCloud married Elizabeth Mc Douglas on the day of June the 14th in the year 1205. Born to us on January 27th in the year 1206 were Douglas Steven McCloud and Angela Marie McCloud. As Castalena read on she was fascinated with the entries that were written in this scared book. Then she noticed something strange. There on the pages were her mother and fathers and brothers and her own name. Odd she thought that her families name were in this book, seeing as they were not Scottish nor were they part of this family line. Then it hit her, could it be could all of them be descendants of Logan and the others? How could she not know how in the world? She closed the book and again her mind reeled at the thoughts. Then she heard a voice "Hard to fathom isn't it?" Castalena whipped around so fast her head could have snapped clean off her shoulders. "What? Who's there?" she asked. "It just be me lass.. Your uncle" "Is what I read true? You and the others?" She questioned him with a tremor in her voice. "Aye lass tis true, every solemn word written in that book. It is like our bible of sorts. Every name of every child wife, father husband is contained with in." "But, but mother, father, Tony, How?" "Your mother is Scottish she was born here and your father, he paused. You think our kind is only here in Scotland. No sweet niece our kind roams all over the lands. When your father and I met there was a bond like brothers. Something that could not be broken, even if I had a brother your father and I were closer then that. When he married your mother the bond was straightened in ways one could never understand. It is like the bond between you and Duncan it can never be broken not even in death. You and he share a pure and true love for one another. "You see." He paused for a moment as he walked to stand behind the pillar that held the book. "When Logan came to understand more about the Were that he was, half man half wolf the others told him and Elizabeth that there was a secret about their kind that they had to understand. Only the male born were Were's and the females were purely human." "Why, were they both not half and half. And a Were is that what your kind is, I mean our kind are called?" She asked him realizing that she was of the Werewolf family. "Well, no. We have been given that name down through the years do to those that did not understand and were afraid of us. Lass as in anything of nature…Man or animal there is not only the good and the bad which we must live with. Every female born to our kind has a mate some male of our kind, that they are bound to even before birth. Some times one must wait for the other to be born, such as you and Duncan." "Are you telling me that he and I were to be bound no matter what?" "No, some times the two do not get along and are free like any of us to do as they please. Tell me something lass that first time you saw Duncan those long years ago do you remember how you felt?" Castalena turned around and looked at all the paintings. Her eyes looked at Duncan and she could not help but smile. She laughed as she remembered the first time she really thought. He was an icky boy and boys were just dirty frog carrying brats. But her uncle was right there as always there had been a bond between them something that, time nor distance could break. She turned and looked at her Uncle with a smile. "Your right I do not think there has been a moment of my life where Duncan was not in it, even in thought. But now what I mean I..I have no clue where to start what to do." Her uncle went to he beloved niece and held her close in a loving embrace. "Just do what you have done so far lass. Nothing has changed save that you know who and what we are. Now go, go to bed and rest well tomorrow is another day." Angus kissed the top of her head and scooted her out of the secret room. He smiled as he watched her go knowing that everything would work our fore the best. He knew in his heart that his niece would never hurt his son nor would she ever, ever turn him away. Castalena made it back to her room, she moves back to her bed and lay down thinking solemnly to herself about what she had just read and heard. How in all these years had her father and brother kept that from her, and her mother. Was that what they all had been talking about when they said that after their holiday they had to have a long family chat? How could she have been so blind? Now they were gone and she would never know what all they had wised to convey to her. Her head lay on the soft feather pillows and her eyes drifted closed, she tried to let it all sink in. She drifted off to sleep and began dreaming right off it seemed. She dreamt about her Father, Mother and Tony her brother. They were all standing in the garden smiling and happy as if nothing had happened. They held out their arms to her and she fell into them gladly. Her father spoke to her for was a brief moment, he told her to love Duncan with all she was, for he loved her with out question with all he was. Then it loomed into a pitch blackness filled with cold and despair and her family was gone. Williams voice laughing all about her then there he stood like some great devil of hell, his eyes burning into her, she felt her heart go cold her breathing become labored her skin covered in goose bumps. Her eyes widened as he stepped out of the darkness to her. She could feel the cold of his hands as they snaked around her waist and puller her close to him. She fought him off best she could but it was to no avail. His hands were as an iron grip about her it was as if he was suffocating her. He leaned his face closer to hers as his lips met hers they were cold and wet like a dead fish on the shore. She tried as she could to shove him away but he would not budge, and then out of the dark loomed this figure tall massive in size. A hand came out of the dark, coming to rest in grip on his shoulder, and yanked him away from her, sending her falling to the cold ground. The blackness inked away and she could see Duncan and William in a heated fight. They were trading blows one after another after another, then like a bell strike there was a shot that rang out she sat there frightened out of her mind. Both men sinking to the ground, she had no clue which had been shot. She sat there panting for breath her eyes gapping and her mouth dropped open when she saw William stand. She screamed and ran to Duncan's prone body. She cried his name out holding him to her rocking him in her arms his body lifeless in a pool of his own blood as it soaked the skirt of her own dress. William's hands gripped her about the shoulders tugging at her pulling her away, dragging her even. She screamed for him but he was dead. Castalena woke with a start as she was yelling his name. She looked around her room to see that she had dreamt it all. Her chest was having under the sheaf of a night dress she wore. Her face dotted with beads of sweat and her heart racing like as if she had run miles in the dense forest. The silence of the night was broken by the single howl of a wolf in the night Castalena snapped her head to face the balcony doors. She sprung from her bed uttering one simple word "Duncan". She ran out into the warmth of the night, running through the garden and past the boundaries of the house and into the thick of the forest. She ran and ran till she came to the glade, that clearing in the middle of the forest where the rock dais was. "DUNCAN!!!!" she screamed over and over. In her heart she prayed that his death was only a horrid night mare that had not come to pass. Her eyes darted around the glade looking for him but she could not see anything but the black of the night. She fell to the ground slowly she head hung low, where was he she knew this was the spot they came to before but he wasn't here, where could he be. Out of the forest behind her he came like a figure from the forest slowly he came up behind her looking at her studying her. Then his massive hands reached out for her shoulders and grabbed her gently from behind. Castalena screamed and jump about 5ft into the air before she realized who it was behind her. "Duncan!" She threw herself into his arms and held him tightly. Her breathing was erratic and labored her body was trembling something terrible. "Shhh Bella what's wrong love tell me." He cooed in her ear as his arms gently wrapped around her body bring one up to caress the back of her head. "Duncan I had the awful dream I dreamt you die in my arms." "Bella Mia shhhh love it was just a dream. I'm here and alive no one will take me away from you, not even death." "Is it true Duncan, is it?" Duncan knew what she meant and he was not going to lie to her. He nodded and looked into her eyes he prayed to himself she would not run from him and she did not. Yet she clung tighter to him, her whole self trembling. 'Bella please love calm thyself." He stroked her hair gently. "Duncan I love you. I love you more then my own life, more then I have ever loved any one. I fell in love with you that first day though I did not know it then. But I never ever for a moment stopped thinking about you caring for you, needing you in my life. I would die if I ever lost you." Duncan's blue eyes filled with tears, her words touched him beyond any words he had ever heard. He tightened his hold on his beloved not twilling to let this moment pass. The he heard her utter words as if they had broken the silence of a starry night. "*Whispered* Duncan show me, I want to see for my own eyes." Came her words. He looked at her and just simply nodded then moved away after he places a kiss to her brow and whispered "I love you Bella Mia. I want you for all time." With that Duncan took a step back and closed his eyes, he willed his body, bones popped and cracked his faced changed to that of a wolf. His face changed to that of a wolf, black fur began to form and cover his whole body. His arms and hands became the legs and paws of a wolf as well. With in a few moments the man she knew as Duncan had changed before her eyes to the Black wolf she had come to care and love for as she watched in amazement Duncan's body began to transform yet again, she heard his bones crack and pop but this time he grew in height and size. His body rose to about 8 or 9 ft in height towering over her like some giant structure. His skin changed the hair on his wolfs body became thicker and lay flatter to his body. His mouth became elongated and fangs grew, leaving him to look ominous and dangerous but, his eyes left unchanged. Blue as the evening sky soft loving gentle and kind, she knew in her heart he would never hurt her in any way there was nothing but love in his tender pools.
