Darguni rubbed his hands together. "Today is going to be sweet."

"Don't tell me you're still on that." Bradly rolled his eyes. 

"Hey, I waited until I was eighteen, OK? I FOLLOWED mother to the LETTER. Nothing stops me now."

"Ugh. Do you even have one?"

"Don't need one. I figure it'll just COME to me." Darguni giggled at his own bad joke. "I get the pick of the litter. Even better, I pretty much know them all anyway, no surprises there." 

Bradly adjusted his uniform. "At least wait until after practice."

"Maybe during break." Darguni licked his lips and finished pinning his uniform into place. "Don't want to be TOO tired."

"Where though?"

"Hmm, I guess I'll figure that one out then, too."

"Here would be more comfortable." Bradly snorted. "And sanitary."

"I'm telling ya, bro, you should find you one."

"I already know my one, and I'm more than happy to wait."

It was Darguni's turn to roll his eyes. "Man, I am telling you... you're missing out."

"YOU don't even know what I'm missing out on." Bradly yanked open the door. 

"At least I've gotten close. You haven't even tried." Darguni followed Bradly out. 

"I know what you're up to, mister." 

Darguni froze in place. "Momma, I waited..."

She shook her head. "You listen to me. You damned well better follow my rules. And I know for a FACT you're JUST like your daddy. You will be gentle. You hear me?"

He let out a sigh. "I know."

"I hear ONE word that you got carried away and HURT someone; it will be YOU that gets hurt."

"Mom, I have memorized your rules so many times, I can recite them in my sleep. I will be SAFE and I will be GENTLE."

"Damned straight. I recommend you wait until this afternoon. I have a delivery, and an appointment. I'll be back tonight, depending on how late it goes."

Darguni licked his lips again. "Thanks, mom."

Bradly sighed. "Somehow, I just know this is going to make him impossible to live with."

Elunara chuckled. "He may look like his papa, but he's all me." 

Darguni grinned as he led the girl. "Come on, no one is home right now." 

She giggled. "You sure?"

"Yeah, she told me earlier. It's totally cool." 

"Your house is HUGE!"

"Yeah, my mother gets special perks. Plus, it's the only thing that can hold all of us." 

She licked her lips. "Where...?"

"Come on; let me show you my mother's couch..."

A little while later, Darguni whistled to himself as he made his way down to the trade district. 

"Hey, Darguni!"

He looked over. "Hey, Vicki."

"So... you turned eighteen today..."

He grinned. "Care to try?"

"You as big as they claim?"

"Bigger." He winked. 

Vicki looked around in the door and nodded appreciatively. "Always wanted to see the inside of this house." She wrapped her arms around his neck. "They say your mother is the goddess of sex."

"That's completely true."

"She teach you anything?"

"Not personally, but I've read her books." He grinned. "Why, want tips?"

"Actually, I was thinking I could teach YOU a few things."

"I'm always up for instruction." 

"Maybe a tour of the house first?"

He led her around and showed her the entirety of the house. 

"Your mother has rooms just to fuck in?" Vicki blinked. 

"Yeah, wanna try one?"

"What about this one?"

"I don't know... mom might get mad if we use her room." 

Vicki snorted. "Scared?"

Darguni licked his lips. "Well, as long as we stay off of Tulani's bed." 

Vicki yanked off her dress, and climbed into the massive bed. "Wow, this gives room to move."

He snorted. "Have you SEEN my dad?" Darguni yanked his own clothes off. 

Vicki licked her lips. "Oh, yeah. That is beautiful."

Darguni grinned. "Care to take it for a run?" He climbed into the bed. 

She shoved him over and straddled him. "Oh, I'm going to enjoy this."

"Let me guide you."

"Nah." She sat down quickly and gasped. "Damn!"

"Shit, I was..."

She put her hand on his mouth. "That was not pain." She began to bounce her hips up and down. "Oh, this is amazing." She groaned. "I don't think I've ever been this filled before."

He lay back and grabbed her hips. "Oh yeah, much better this time."

"This time?" Her eyebrow went up. 

"Tried two others this morning." He dug his nails into her hips. "Virgins can't handle this." He grunted. 

"Well, you have to be soft with those." She dug her fingernails into his chest. "I might keep you." She groaned. 

"No. Not happening." He shoved her off of him. "I'm not getting tied to one pussy just yet." He growled.

"Ooo, touchy. Maybe I can kiss it and make it better." She slipped her mouth over his dick. 

He groaned and grabbed her head. "Gods!"

Elunara whistled to herself. She'd already heard about Darguni's first couple of attempts. "Idiotic children." She snorted. Opening the front door, her ears perked up. Darguni had a third attempt going somewhere. Narrowing her eyes, she went up the stairs. 

Vicki tried to suppress the gag, as Darguni exploded in her mouth. She wasn't expecting so much out of him. She did her best to swallow and maintain her cool air. She wiped her mouth off with her hand. The door was flung open, and Vicki smirked at Elunara's enraged face. "Oops."

"HOW DARE YOU?!" 

Darguni's eye went wide and he scrambled backwards. "MOM! You're back early!"

"You're damned fucking right I am!" She marched over and grabbed both of them by the hair and started dragging them out. "I ought to rip your DICK off and SHOVE IT DOWN YOUR THROAT!"

"Shit. Shit. Shit." Darguni whimpered.

"LET GO OF ME!"

Elunara slammed Vicki into the wall. "You shut the fuck up, you useless bitch." She dragged them both down the stairs. She hauled Darguni up and yelled directly into his face. "You do NOT use MY bed! You don't even GO INTO MY ROOM! DO YOU HEAR ME?" 

"Yes, Momma. I'm sorry, Momma. Please forgive me!" He begged.

She dragged them both out of the house, a blinking Bradly staring in shock. She kept on walking until she was at the canal and dropped them both in it.

Darguni coughed and scrambled up the side. "Please, Momma!"

She put her foot on his head. "SLEEP OUT HERE, YOU WORTHLESS LITTLE SHIT!" Marching back in the house, she slammed the door. 

"You're bigger than her! Fight back!" Vicki sputtered. 

Elunara flung Vicki's dress out of the top window. 

"No one beats my momma." Darguni laid his head on the canal wall. "No one."

Bradly scrambled into the house.

Later, Grogek followed in after Jordan. "Love, why is Darguni sleeping on the canal wall, naked?"

"He had that little slut bitch Vicki in our bed."

After blinking, Grogek walked over to Darguni and kicked him into the canal. "Dumbshit." He snorted, and then went back inside, locking the door behind him.

Darguni leaned back in his bed, reading the book with utmost care.

"Whatcha readin?"

"Mother wrote a comprehensive guide on the safest way to get a chick to take a dick up the ass. With MY size, I could hurt someone. If I get a complaint, knowing mother's temper, I'll get a dick up MY ass instead."

Bradly rolled his eyes. "Gods, you ARE her son." He tossed a small box on Darguni's bed. "Happy Twentieth, Bro." 

"Aw, thanks." Darguni sat the book to the side, and opened the box. With a little "poof", he was covered in glitter. He blinked a moment. "YOU ARE SO DEAD!" He scrambled out of the bed, as Bradly disappeared through the door. 

Bradly had his hand on the handle of the front door. 

"Before you kill each other..." 

They both froze and looked up. 

"I have presents for both of you." 

"But my birthday has already passed." Bradly frowned. 

"I had to wait, because I wanted to give them both to you at the same time." She grinned. 

Once at the bottom of the stairs, she hefted the two boxes out of the library and laid them down. "Open em both."

They ripped into the boxes. "Oh, man!" Darguni ran his hand on the axe hilt. "It's like dad's!

"So's mine!" Bradly lifted his sword.

"These were specially designed and crafted. Later today, your boxes will be installed. If you come with me, I'll do your tattoos. Happy twentieth, my babies."

"We get summonable weapons?"

"Now my boys will always be able to protect themselves." She kissed each of them. "Come, let's get you carved up. Then you can kill Bradly for the glitter bomb." She wiped Darguni's cheek. 

Bradly leaned against the door, eyeing his freshly tattooed hand. "No matter how hard I look, I can't find it."

"That's the point." Elunara worked on Darguni's tattoo. "No one knows how to prevent you from summoning it. Well, they could cut your hand off, but... eh. They wouldn't know that."

Darguni snorted. "I love how you are about such things." 

"Don't shift. You don't want me screwing this up."

"Sorry, Momma." 

She blew on his hand, watching the tattoo light up, and then disappear. "Alright. Once I hang the boxes in your room, you'll be free to summon them at any time." She began to put her tools away. "I'm hanging them in the third level, by the way."

"Sweet." Darguni flexed his hand. He turned and eyed Bradly.

Bradly took off out of the door. 

"Damn, I'll never catch him now." 

"It pays to be the fast sibling." Elunara winked. "As the strong one, you'll just have to be crafty." 

Darguni tapped his chin. "Lydia is singing today."

"There you go."

Darguni hid behind the curtain. 

Lydia sighed. "Why are you covered in glitter?"

"Bradly." He growled. 

"Oh. I suppose you're hiding back here in shame?"

He snorted. "Go sing or something, will ya?"

Lydia rolled her eyes. "Whatever." She stepped onto the stage and began to sing. 

Bradly sat in the stands, his elbows on his knees, chin on his hands, as he watched Lydia sing. He sighed, and Darguni could practically SEE the silly little hearts over his head. He hefted his bucket and waited for the perfect moment. Lydia twirled, the swish of her skirts near hypnotic, but Darguni ignored her. When Bradly closed his eyes, Darguni launched off of the stage, bucket in hand. He dunked the whole thing over Bradly's head. 

Lydia yelped and jumped back, barely tugging her skirt out of the way of the mess. 

Bradly help up his arms and stared down at himself. "THE HELL?"

Darguni pulled out a bag and covered Bradly in feathers. "Serves you right." 

Bradly jumped up and body slammed Darguni. The pair of them began to wrestle and fight. 

"You two idiots better shower before you come in the house."

Darguni had his arm wrapped around Bradly's neck, and Bradly had his arms around Darguni's waist. "Yes, Momma." They replied, before going back to beating each other's asses. 

"Hey Lydia, you still want practice tomorrow?"

"Please, Miss Elunara."

"Eh, at this point, just call me Elunara."

"Of course." Lydia bowed. 

Elunara waved her hand and walked off. 

For The Whored: The Future Ch. 01



13 years after Draenor / 8 After "Stormwind" 

*

Darguni leaned against his axe and licked his lips. "My, there are some FINE honeys out today."

"Hmm." Bradly fiddled with the little box.

Darguni whacked him in the shoulder. "Are you paying attention?"

"What? Uh... sure. Whatever you said."

Darguni rolled his eyes. A little brunette walked by and winked at him. He smacked Bradly again. "Cover for me, will ya?" He followed the little minx behind a building. 

Bradly sighed and fiddled with the box. It had been burning a hole in his pocket for near a month. He just hadn't found the right moment. 

Straightening his gear, Darguni whistled, as he walked down to the training yard. 

"Darguni?" A timid voice caught his attention.

"Yeah, Lydia?"

"Um, I was thinking... of heading to portal lake. Would you... join me?"

He shrugged. "Sure. When?"

"Tonight?" She blushed. "I hear the portals glow beautifully at night."

After considering for a moment, he shrugged. "If you want to." 

Her blushed deepened, but he didn't notice; he'd just spotted a nice little blonde giving him a look. 

Later, Darguni was busy whispering fascinating suggestions in this new one's ear, as Bradly passed him. 

"Hey, have you seen Lydia?"

Blinking around, Darguni tried to remember. "She said something about portal lake tonight." He waved a hand. 

"Really? That's so perfect!" He ran off.

"Perfect for what?" The raven haired girl cocked her head to the side. 

"No idea." Darguni pushed open the door.

"Won't your parents be upset?" She blushed. 

"Nah, mom's at the Keep today, and father only misses training over family. Everyone else is doing whatever it is they do." He waved a hand. "Let me show you this fascinating couch." He grinned.

A few moments later, Elunara opened the door and blinked. 

The girl struggled to get her top up, and Darguni winced. "I thought you were at the Keep."

"I stay with Varian tonight, not last night." She shook her head. 

"Shit."

Elunara rolled her eyes. "Gods, you're so my son." She pointed at him. "I don't have to remind you of my warning."

"I was being careful."

She snorted. "Yeah right." Waving her hand, she went into her library and began to unpack her work. She ignored the whispers coming from the other room.

Darguni stuck his head in the door, thankfully tucked back into his pants. "Hey, can I borrow book 34?"

"Before, or after?"

"Before." 

She grabbed the book and tossed it to him. "You better return it clean."

"Yeah, yeah, I know."

"Hey, is she a girlfriend or a quick bang?"

"Quick bang."

"For how long?"

He looked up at the clock. "What time is it?"

"Hmm. Well, she's already pregnant."

He stopped and stared. "SHIT! How far?" He groaned.

"Two tops? She knew it though, judging by the look on her face."

He zipped his pants up and sighed. Turning back, he frowned at the girl. "Yeah, I'm just not feeling it... maybe another time."

"Tomorrow?" She asked hopefully. 

"More like eight to nine months." He snorted. Eyeing the girl's expression, he sighed again. "Gods, I hate how often you're right." He crossed his arms, leaning against the doorframe as he watched the girl storm out.

"Both of your fathers tell me the same damned thing." She frowned at her work. "Where's Bradly?"

"Elune only knows." Darguni snorted. "Probably chasing Lydia down."

"Well, the second you spot him, let him know I need to speak with him."

"What's up?"

"His birth mother died this morning." 

Darguni winced. "I'll send him over." He sighed. "Why do I get all of the twits trying to pawn off their unwanted babies?"

"Because you're a favored son of Stormwind, and can't keep your dick in your pants. Let's not even cover the topic of your parentage. You're one of THE most sought out bachelors, aside from your brother, and HE's too busy with his head up Lydia's ass."

He scratched the back of his neck. "Why IS Bradly so stuck on Lydia? She's our freaking sister."

Elunara shrugged. "That's the one question I can't give you an answer on." Flipping through her pages, she sighed. "He's very much like Jordan, in that he believes she's his one. He just won't look anywhere else until she breaks his heart."

Bradly sighed and waited under the tree. He wasn't leaving until he had done what he'd planned. A small figure on the far side had him moving over. "Lydia?" He whispered. 

She jolted. "Oh. Bradly. Where's Darguni?"

"I have no idea."

She frowned. "But, I..." She shook her head and sighed. "Never mind."

Bradly took out the little box and held it up. "Happy Birthday."

She frowned down at the box. "Uh..."

He opened it up and inside was a small necklace. "This is for you."

Blinking repeatedly, she frowned. "Well, that's nice." She ran a finger along the thick chain.

"I was hoping that maybe... you and I... could..." He swallowed the rock in his throat and took her hand. "Lydia, would you go out with me?"

She jerked her hand back and gasped. "Oh, Gods, Bradly... No! Just no!" She turned and ran. 

His knees gave out and he just sat in the grass. 

That was how Darguni found him. "Hey, mom's looking for you." He blinked. "Are you ok?"

Bradly struggled to fight back the tears. "She... she turned me down."

Darguni winced. "Shit." He sighed and helped Bradly to his feet. "You've been chasing her for twelve years, brother... you'd figure it'd go one way or another." 

"But..."

"Come on, I'll get mom to make that soup you like so much." 

A few days later, Darguni scratched his neck. "GAH, this is boring."

Bradly snorted. "I can't believe I let you talk me into that."

"You BOTH can shut up!" Grogek narrowed his eyes. "I expected better out of the both of you."

"Yes, dad." They both sighed. 

"Now you will stand here for the rest of the day. No excuses!" Grogek hefted his blade over his shoulder and marched away.

"Sometimes, I think he carries that axe around like he does, just to show off." Darguni grumbled.

"Well, DUH. That's why we keep OUR weapons in hand." Bradly glanced down at his hand. "That's why mom gave us these things."

"I can't believe we have to guard a freaking pig pen." 

"You're the dumbshit that came up with the idea that broke the damned thing." Bradly sighed. "Why do I let you talk me into these things?" He moaned. 

"Well, my plan worked, anyway." Darguni muttered.

"What plan?" 

"To take your mind off your problems." Darguni leaned against the handle of his axe. 

"She hasn't spoken to me all week." 

Darguni whacked him on the shoulder. "Come on, there's WAY too many women out there to focus on one."

"No, you just like sticking your dick in anything that walks by." Bradly snorted.

Darguni wiggled. "Speaking of which, I need to take a leak."

"Fine. But if you're not back quickly, dad will have both of our heads."

Darguni dismissed his axe and headed for some bushes around the corner. After a sigh, he stuffed himself back in his pants and turned around. "GAH!" He grabbed his chest. "Gods, Lydia, don't DO that shit."

"Sorry, I didn't mean to." She blushed. She didn't want to admit she'd wanted a peek. 

He shook his head. "Look, please stop being mad at Bradly. You broke his heart."

"I'm not mad." She sighed. "I just don't want him. He's like a brother to me. A kind of annoying one."

"Well, that's understandable." Darguni shrugged, raising his hands up. "It can be difficult to see someone you were raised with as--" Darguni blinked in shock as Lydia stood on her toes and kissed him.

"THE HELL IS THIS?" Bradly was standing at the end of the walkway, anger on his face. "Seriously? IS THIS WHY?" Bradly turned and took off running.

Darguni grabbed Lydia by the arms. "Ok, that was shitty." He shoved her back and took off after his brother.

Darguni chased after Bradly. "WAIT! COME BACK! It's not like that!" He bellowed. He lost Bradly in the crowd, and stopped to try to catch his breath. "By the light, I hate how fucking fast he is." He raked a hand through his hair. 

"Why aren't you at your post?"

Darguni jumped back. "Sorry, dad. Bradly saw Lydia kiss me and he freaked the fuck out." He gestured. 

Grogek groaned. "Is Bradly the only person in the world who doesn't see Lydia for who she is?"

"Who...?"

"Your sister."

"Apparently not." Darguni sighed. "I'm sorry, add more chores on me, but I've got to find my brother."

"Do it."

He found Bradly up at the portal lake, sitting beneath a tree, arms on his knees. "You run too fucking fast, brother."

"Go away!"

"Look, this is stupid. I have no feelings towards Lydia."

"Like you feel nothing towards all the bimbos you fuck."

Darguni smacked his forehead. "You think I'd do that to my SISTER? I did NOT kiss her, I wasn't even aware she wanted to kiss me, she just fucking DID IT." He shuddered. "Ugh, that was awful. And YOU didn't even give me the time to correct the situation!"

"She is NOT our sister; she wasn't BORN into this family!"

Darguni blinked. "Fucking ouch. Seriously? YOU WEREN'T EITHER!" He threw his hand up. "You want to pull the BORN card; YOU weren't BORN into this family either! Or did you forget that little nugget?" He shook his head. "You have been my brother since the day you claimed me as one, since Elunara took you in and called you her son. Don't pull the birth card, because you're just shooting your own damned self in the ass."

"But, I love her!"

"No you fucking don't. You love the IDEA of her. A built in lover, already accepted as one of the family. Our family is weird, but that's how we work. She sees you as a brother, just like I do. I see her like a sister, just like you should. But, whatever, don't listen to the big, dumb, orc half breed."

"Hey!" Bradly frowned. "You are not!"

"Bradly, if you really loved her, you'd have figured out years ago, that she doesn't love you. Hell, I didn't even love her enough to figure out it was me she was looking at, and she CERTAINLY can't truly love me, or she'd have known that she wasn't even in the running."

"Since when are you an expert on love?" Bradly snorted.

"Have you SEEN our parents?" Darguni rolled his eyes. "Answer me something... why haven't you read Momma's books?" He sat down next to his brother.

"I'm afraid of what I might find."

"Yeah, it's pretty damned dark... but you and I both know it has a happy ending. You should read it." He put a hand on Bradly's shoulder. "Maybe you will understand things better."

"Maybe."

He stood up. "It's worth a shot. Besides, if I can survive it, you can." He winked. "By the way, we're so busted. Dad saw me when I was chasing you."

"Aw, shit." Bradly raked his hands through his hair.

Sighing, Darguni made his way back to the post. He raked his fingers through his long white hair and debated on tying it up. 

"Darguni..." 

Rolling his eyes, he turned and looked back. "What now, Lydia?"

"I wasn't trying to upset Bradly." 

"Well, you did." He crossed his arms. 

She put her hands on his arms and scooted closer. "I just want you." She whispered.

He grabbed her by the arms and shoved her backwards. "For the last time," He gave her a light shake. "You are my SISTER. I feel absolutely NO attraction to you! Go find someone else." He turned her around and gave her a shove. "I have work to get back to." He flexed his hand and held his axe. He slung it over his shoulder and went back to the pig pen.

Lydia ran into Elunara's house and flopped down on the couch, face first. 

"Uh... hi?" Elunara looked over from making lunch. 

"I don't understand men." Lydia groaned.

"Well, you've come to the right place." Elunara snorted. 

"How do I get Darguni to love me?"

"Be anyone else but you?" Elunara shrugged. "Sweetie, you're as much my daughter as you are his sister. I tried some years ago to get Darguni and Bradly to understand your position in our family. Darguni went straight for sister and you will always be there. Bradly went straight for future wife, and got stuck there. Judging from how they're both acting, Bradly confessed his love to you."

Lydia groaned. "Yeah. He's... like an annoying little brother. I can't... date that." She sat up and sighed.

"Well, to Darguni, you're just an annoying little sister. He can't date you either." Elunara shrugged and took a bite of her sandwich. 

"It's not fair!" She wailed. 

"Being in love with the same girl for twelve years, only to be shoved out, is unfair." Elunara ate some of her sandwich. "Being hit on by someone you don't feel a romantic feeling towards, that's unfair. You'll always be part of this family, as you're as much my daughter as you are Linda's, but you're not marrying into it. Sorry."

"What made Grogek fall in love with you?" Lydia picked at her skirt.

"The fact that I was an unstoppable killing machine." She continued to eat her sandwich.

"For real?" Lydia blinked. 

"In my library, go get book sixty two."

Lydia returned with the book. "This one?"

"Read it. Whole thing." Elunara nodded and went back to her lunch. 

After, Lydia closed the book. "Wow..."

"You should read my whole library." Elunara washed her dishes. "It's pretty dark and long, but those that read it, manage to benefit in some way."

"I will." Lydia nodded. 

"Good girl. Just be careful, and if you can't stomach something, skip it."

"Alright."

Days later, Lydia put a book away and sighed. They were all so disgustingly dark, and yet she knew the person that Elunara wound up being. She sat down with the next book and began to read. The door closed and she ignored it. When the voices started, she froze. Marking her place in the book, she tucked it under her arm and opened the door. She tried to creep away.

"Who is that?"

Darguni blinked. "Lydia?"

"Ah... I was just getting one of your mother's books." She held it up and flushed.

"Ugh, then put the "Library in Use" sign up next time."

"Sorry, I was just going to grab it and go, and..." She licked her lips. He'd already taken off his shirt and she got side tracked. 

"You know the policies in this house, put up the signs before entering it. Geez, even I do it."

She stepped forward, not really knowing what she was doing. "I'm sorry, please forgive me."

"Gods, you're being a royal pain in the ass lately." He raked his fingers through his hair. 

Placing her hands on his chest, she stepped up on her toes and kissed him. 

He grabbed her by the arms and shoved her back. "STOP IT! Seriously. Fucking STOP it. I don't goddamned WANT you! Get the fuck out of my house!" He pointed towards the door. 

In tears, she fled.

"Gods, mother is going to have my ass."

"Why would your mother be angry?"

"Because Lydia is my sister." He rocked his head back and forth. "In a manner of speaking."

The woman wrapped her hands around his chest. 

"Ugh, Tara, that killed my appetite. I feel like I need a shower."

"I'll scrub your back." She grinned. 

"Sold!" He dragged her to one of the bathrooms. 

"You have a shower in your house?" She blinked. 

"Yeah. One of mother's designs and additions." He got the thing going. "Mother can do whatever she pleases. It helps that her best friend is a mage, so everything can be set up and magically imbued."

"Fascinating."

"There's all kinds of crazy shit in this house." He yanked the rest of his clothes off and stepped under the water. "Ah, that's the thing." He sighed. 

She slipped in after. "Oh, wow, that's better than the healer building's showers." She groaned. 

"Like it?" He grinned. "I should warn you... this thing was designed to be fucked in." 

"Is that so?"

Reaching behind her, he popped a latch. "An appropriate height seat." Grabbing her hips, he sat her on the seat. "Correction, a perfect height seat." Pushing her legs open, he slid his fingers up and down her soft folds. Slipping a finger in, he groaned. She gasped and grabbed at his neck. A slight adjustment and he buried himself into her. He froze. "Gods, Tara, you didn't tell me you were a virgin." 

"Sorry." She whimpered. "I thought you'd run off."

"Well, you're not leaving here one." He captured her mouth. Soft and gentle, he slid in and out of her. His hands clung to her hips, as the water beat down around them. With a groan, he increased his pace, slipping in and out of that tight hole. When she began to shake and clamp down around him, he grinned. "So not done with you." He wrapped his arm around her, and held her to him as he adjusted several latches. Sliding out of her, he helped her turn around. "Here, grab these... and your foot goes here..."

"What in the world?" She marveled.

He grabbed her hips again and gently slid himself into her. "Oh, yeah, like that." He groaned. One hand came up and grabbed a breast; the other grabbed her leg and held it back. Burying his face into her neck, he began to work himself in and out of her. "So fucking tight." He groaned. His hand clamped down on her knee as he exploded into her. 

She yelped and yanked on the straps. 

"Sorry." He rubbed her hip. "Was that too much?"

"They weren't kidding." She whimpered.

"Huh?"

"Well, they told me; if I wanted to lose myself right, that you'd be the one to do it." 

He blinked at the back of her head. "Who?"

She ducked her head and blushed. "I've said too much."

"Damned right you have..." He turned her around. "Now, WHAT is going ON?"

Elunara found Darguni pounding his head on the post.

"Oh, what now?" She sighed.

"There's a fucking competition."

"What?" She sat her bag on the table.

"Like, literally, a FUCKING competition. Where the lunatic girls of this city are taking BETS on my freaking performance."

Elunara cackled. "The fuck do you think "The Grove" is?" She stuck her shopping away. "People gather to watch me fuck your dad's brains out, and then take bets on it. Gerald runs the games."

"Well, Tara is currently winning with my lovely twofer in the shower." He snorted.

"You're damned well my kid." She tossed her bag on the rack. "But only two? I'm ashamed for you."

"She was a virgin." He dragged his fingers through his hair. 

"Ah. Gotta go gentle on those."

"I was."

"Good boy. If you want pointers, you can always join the games with Gerald." She bit an apple. "You know I don't damned well care who watches."

"When do you do those?"

"Whenever the mood strikes me." She considered her schedule in her head. "I'll be a week or two; I'm kind of backed up. Just tell Gerald to keep you in the loop. He might get weird about it, but I don't know."

"I yelled at Lydia again."

Elunara sighed and flopped on the couch by Darguni. "I don't know what to do with that girl."

"Me either."

Lydia was certain she'd seen Darguni up at training, so she scooted her way back to the house. Seeing the Library sign up, she shrugged and went in. She froze when she saw Bradly shuffling through the books on the shelf, muttering. 

"Oh!"

He looked back and blushed. "Oh, Lydia. I... haven't seen you in awhile."

"I... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to... the other day."

He shrugged. "It's fine. It's... Darguni's right." He sighed.

She frowned. "About what?"

"That I..." He scratched the back of his neck. "That we don't really love the person we've been after, or we would have seen that they don't return the affection."

"Oh." She winced. "Yeah, I guess that's true." With a sigh, she tapped her hand on the book. "Well, I guess that's it then."

"Yeah."

She held out a hand. "Friends?"

He took her hand. "The way everyone tells it to me, we're siblings."

"True." She held out the book. "I think you're looking for this one."

He took it and turned it over. "Yep."

"Your mother had a hard life."

"Our mother." He shrugged. "It came out in the end."




For The Whored: The Future Ch. 01



"Yeah..." 

"Can I ask you an honest question?"

"Sure."

"Why Darguni?"

She flushed and fidgeted her feet. "It's stupid."

He just blinked at her. 

"Because... he's..." She licked her lips. "Because he's so beautiful. Like, a sculpture designed for the absolute best. Then there's his legendary... appetite. I wanted... well, the girls talk about how amazing he is and I wanted a taste. Then there's the whole... untamed part of him that I wanted to be the one to..." She made an odd gesture.

Bradly cackled. "Seriously? SERIOUSLY?" 

"Hey!" She stomped her foot. 

"Gods, he's our mother's son. The only thing that will tame THAT beast is a woman just like his dad. I don't think such a woman even exists. You... no. Just... no. It's similar to when Renwa was after mother. It just won't happen. You can't hope to tame the untamable. You're just going to have to accept him for who he is, and that... is a complete horndog."

"Ugh!" She tossed her hands up. "Then WHAT about ME?"

Bradly blushed. "Because you're beautiful. You're sweet and kind, and..." He made a gesture. "Sparky. You sing like a golden angel, and when you get up on that stage..." He sighed. "Ever since we were kids, all the time and effort mother put into helping you, I kinda... I kind of had this stupid thought that she was helping you for me. Like she was crafting us a love that no one else could contest. It took you slapping me in the face, for me to realize... you are your own person. Momma helped you because she couldn't help herself." 

Lydia stepped back. "Oh." She said quietly. 

He shrugged. "Nothing worked out the way we wanted it. I guess that's how it goes." He tapped a hand on the book. "Then again, nothing turned out the way SHE wanted it, either. And look how far she's come." He flipped through the pages. "A woman who could not love, has made a life like no one else. That's how it's supposed to go." Stepping forward, he kissed Lydia on the cheek. "Make your own life. That's what we're supposed to do." He walked out. 

Lydia sat in the floor and cried. 



For The Whored: The Future Ch. 02



Elunara dodged and came down hard with her staff, knocking her opponent to the ground. "Come on, girl. You can do better than this. I've taught you better."

Lydia jumped up and launched at Elunara. Elunara dodged harmlessly and kicked Lydia down. Lydia rubbed her face and pulled her hand away, wincing at the blood.

Elunara held out her hand. "I can understand burying yourself in your work, but not at the expense of your heart."

Lydia took Elunara's hand and was pulled to standing. "I guess I'm not myself today." She sighed. 

"Want to talk about it?" Elunara tossed her staff back on the rack.

"Can we?" Lydia sighed and tucked her staff onto her back. 

"Let's go to my house."

At the house, Lydia hissed and recoiled.

"Take it like a man." Elunara snorted. "I have to clean it out. I can't just heal it, because if I heal it with shit in your face, you'll just fester."

"Fucking stings." She grit her teeth. 

"Damn don't it." Elunara snorted. 

"Figured you'd be used to it by now."

"I'm used to a lot of things. You didn't come here to talk about that."

"No." Lydia sighed. "It's about Bradly."

"I've been hearing all about the three of you." Elunara put her fingers under Lydia's chin. "You're making a mess of things, girly."

Lydia winced. "So he told you about the library?"

Elunara's eyebrows shot up. "No."

"Well..." Lydia explained the exchange.

Elunara sighed and leaned back on the couch. "A complete mess."

"Now, I'm just so confused." Lydia put her hands in her lap.

"The problem is that you three have been close since you were kids. Everyone has been expecting the three of you to hook up in some random pattern or another. Even Bradly has thought he was going to marry you since he was eight or nine. Darguni has always been completely oblivious, but with our family claiming relatives left and right, and sticking to it... when he decided you were his sister, that was just IT." 

"That much is obvious." Lydia grumbled. 

"What you and Bradly failed to do, was to understand what you actually want in a relationship. Bradly was just stuck on it being you. You were busy doing the right thing, and staying out of the mess. However, you're twenty two years old, and all of your friends are in relationships. Darguni is pulling "a me", and fucking any girl willing to spread her legs. That's his gimmick in life right now, and he's pretty happy with it. I agree that it'll take a woman like Grogek to finally bring Darguni to his knees. Most likely, he'll still be pulling "a me" for years to come. 

But, that's where Darguni is above and beyond you and Bradly. He KNOWS what he wants, and it's NOT a relationship. Bradly now has to figure out what he wants in a woman, and you'll have to figure out what you want in a man. Hell, in a person. Who knows, maybe that's another assumption."

Lydia considered. "What if I wanted to give women a shot?"

"Then that's what you want." Elunara shrugged and stretched. 

She tugged her legs up on to the couch. "I don't think that's it either."

"If you eliminate an option, you're one step closer to knowing what you WILL want."

Lydia sighed and put her chin on her knees. "If I wanted a woman, there's only one I'd ever consider. So, that's out."

"Who's to say?" Elunara pulled out her board and began to sketch.

"Because she wouldn't. I absolutely know she wouldn't."

"Have you spoken to her?" Elunara adjusted her angle and sketched Lydia.

"Oh, I speak to her plenty." 

"But, about the topic?"

"Not... exactly." Lydia sighed and raked her fingers through her hair. 

"Then, how do you know?" Her eyes flicked back and forth, as she quickly captured Lydia on paper.

With half a laugh, Lydia turned her face. "Because it's you."

Elunara paused only briefly. "Ah." 

"Yeah, "Ah."." Lydia sighed. 

"You do realize that you're practically my daughter, right?"

"Exactly." Lydia put her chin back on her knees. "I've fantasized about you for years, but honestly, I knew that men are where I want to be. You are the only female I have had even the slightest attraction to, and I know full well it's because of all you have done for me. Ever so often, I wonder if you'd..." Lydia rocked her head back and forth. "Break me in, so to speak. At this moment, I'm still a virgin. When I heard about... Darguni's reputation..." She blushed and buried her face against her knees. 

"Just like everyone else in my life, you've gotten yourself into a mess." 

"Don't laugh." She whimpered.

"I'm not, sweetie." Elunara sighed. "I don't know what to tell you, other than to follow your heart. However, first you must figure out what your heart really wants." Elunara brushed Lydia's hair back. "I don't know that I can give you what you want."

Lydia turned bright red and stood up. "I have to go!" She ran out of the house.

Elunara just sighed. 

Susan walked in and blinked. "Was that Lydia?"

"Yeah, she's just confused right now." Elunara ran a hand over Susan's massive belly. "How are my girls?"

"Ugh, I feel like a riverbeast. I hope she doesn't get much bigger."

"Sorry sweetie, you've got three months left."

Susan whimpered.

Lydia ran without thinking. When she finally stopped, she was surprised to find herself in front of her mother's door. She sighed. Well, her mother had been so sad since Lydia's father died in the war... perhaps a mother daughter chat would cheer her. Lydia stepped up to the door and knocked. 

Thinking that maybe her mother had gone out, she decided to wait inside. Pushing open the door, she gasped and ran forward. "Mother!" She dropped down and put her hands on the crumpled form. She began to scream.

Elunara's ears pricked. Without a word, she bolted out of the house and followed the sound of screaming. Lydia was down to dull whimpers by time Elunara came through the door. She knelt and put her hands on Linda's body.

"SAVE HER!" Lydia screamed. "Please, please..." She whimpered.

"Sweetie, she's beyond my capabilities..."

"NO!"

Elunara shook her head. "She's gone, sweetheart." 

Lydia screamed and clung to her mother's body. 

Elunara pried her off and tugged Lydia into her lap. "I'm so sorry. Linda was my friend and I wish I could save her, one last time, but her spirit has already passed into the nether. Even I cannot retrieve her at this point."

Lydia tried to jump and run, but Elunara clung to her. "NO! LET ME GO!"

"No." Elunara tightened her hold on Lydia. "I won't. I won't let you grieve alone."

"Oh, Momma." Lydia whimpered. 

At the funeral, Bradly and Darguni stood on either side of Lydia, their arms wrapped around her. 

"Don't worry, we're here." Bradly sighed.

"We'll always be here for you." Darguni nodded. 

"I remember when my dad died. It still hurts sometimes." Bradly nodded. "But, I had Momma and then Jordan."

"Yeah, you have our Momma. Well, she's always kind of been your momma anyway."

Lydia sighed. "Yeah, I guess." She bit her lip. "I was so busy trying to get Elunara to be my mother, that I didn't give my own mother enough credit... and now she's gone." 

"I didn't either." Bradly said quietly. "He was never there, and I didn't realize how much I'd miss him until after..."

Elunara reached out and put her hand on Lydia's shoulder. She jolted, before going blank. Bradly and Darguni looked between the two. "Momma looks like she does when Elune takes over..." Darguni frowned.

"Yeah, but so does Lydia..." Bradly frowned.

"What the hell?" Elunara looked around.

"Where are we?" Lydia spun in circles, having a major panic attack.

"This is a new one, Elune."

"I thought I'd do you a favor." Elune smiled and pointed.

A golden orb hung there between them. "Lydia?" It whispered.

"Momma?" Lydia put her hands to her chest. "Is it really you?"

"Elune has retrieved me from the nether, but it pulls at me." The orb shivered. "Lydia, oh, my dear sweet baby. I had hoped to see you in your wedding gown... but I guess I never will."

Tears streamed down Lydia's face. "Oh, Momma..."

"Elune has allowed me to say, that it has finally come to pass. I knew, deep in my heart, that you were just as much Elunara's, as you were mine. I told her ages ago, that I was making her your godmother. That, should anything befall Thomas and me, that SHE would be your mother. Well, I guess she IS your mother now..." The light flashed repeatedly, before Linda had form again. "I just... I just want one last hug..." 

Lydia threw herself at Linda. "Oh, Momma. I love you so much."

"I know, baby. I love you too." Linda faded to light, before dispersing. 

Lydia grabbed frantically at the points of light. "MOMMA!" 

Elune sighed. "I'm sorry, that was all the time I could borrow." 

They broke free of the space, and Lydia collapsed to her knees, screaming in anguish. Elunara wrapped her arms around the girl. "Come on sweetheart, let's get you home." 

Elunara closed the door to the bedroom and sighed. "Lydia's going to stay with us now. I've already sent for her things." 

Darguni sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. "Gods, I feel so bad for her. I've... I've never had to deal with this kind of loss."

Bradly sighed. "I have." 

"I don't know if what Elune did was good or not. It..." Elunara shook her head. 

Bradly shrugged. "I can't tell you if it would have helped me at all." 

Days later, Elunara sat on the couch and worked on her commissions. Lydia came out of the bedroom rubbing her eye. "Time is it?" She mumbled.

"Just after two."

"I can't believe I slept so late." 

"You've spent more time crying than sleeping in the past few days, my little love."

Lydia sighed. "Can I...?"

"Curl up under my arm? Yes."

Lydia climbed on the couch and curled up under Elunara's arm. "I'm just so..."

"Confused?"

"Yeah." She sighed. 

"Not uncommon. I assure you." 

"Thank you for letting me move in." 

"You're family. If you want, you can take the bedroom at the top of Bradly and Darguni's little tower. You'll have complete privacy and a nice view."

"I might." 

"The boys haven't used it since they were kids." 

"Hm."

Elunara ran her hand over Lydia's hip. "I'm not trying to force you to take it, just letting you know." 

Lydia watched Elunara draw for a long time. "Your work has always been amazing, but I never knew how fast you were at it." 

"I get faster as I practice. I figure I'll reach a zenith eventually."

Lydia giggled. "Cute pun." 

Elunara grinned. "Good to hear that sound." 

"So, I've been thinking..." Lydia absently ran her hand on Elunara's leg. "I don't think I..." She shifted. "well, I don't think I'm... like that."

Elunara rolled her eyes. "Love, "that" could mean about fifty bajillion things, what ARE you talking about?"

Lydia blushed. "I don't think I'm... female set." She sighed. "I don't want to have sex with you."

"I'm glad you've figured that part out."

"But, I would like your instruction." 

Elunara cocked a brow. "Really now?" 

Lydia nodded. "You're the expert after all. I think... once I figure out what I want... I'd rather be prepared." 

"Now, that I can help you with." Elunara leaned forward and dug in a drawer. She tossed a metal object in Lydia's lap. 

Lydia stared at the thing. "What?"

"That is a dick. That's a small one, nice little beginner." 

"They... come in different sizes?"

"Oh, my dear girl." Elunara laughed. She tucked her board away and opened a different drawer. "They range from this." She held up a small one. "To this." She held up Grogek's. 

Lydia scrambled back. "HOLY...!"

"Yes, they go in your holes." Elunara laughed. "This one is Grogek. Now, I haven't put my hands on it, but I can assure you, Darguni is about the same size."

Lydia shrank back. "Uh, NO. Just... NO." She turned red. "I... one time I kinda snuck around so I could see when he... um... peed... but I never saw the WHOLE thing." 

"Naughty, naughty girl." Elunara laughed. 

"I was curious." Lydia stared at the one in her lap. 

"Should have asked first, girly." Elunara laughed. 

"GODS! Why are so many girls bragging about...?" She slapped her hands to her mouth.

Elunara cackled. "I already know about that one." She tapped her finger to her chin. "Here's a fascinating bit of news... I think some of them are making it up." 

"They..."

"Because Darguni is honest with me, you know our rules. He has more quitters than completers." 

"Hm." Lydia mimicked the gesture. "How can I tell who's lying or not?"

"Are they hobbling?" Elunara snorted. "Honestly, I can't tell you without being faced with them." She dug in the drawer. "This is your standard human male." 

Lydia ran her hand on it. "So... Bradly?"

"Yes."

"Huh."

"This one... is Jordan." Elunara winked as she held up a different one.

Lydia blushed. "I take it you knew..."

"Pfft, you were SO obvious, child." 

She held the two together. "Oh, Jordan's is... bigger."

"That it is."

"How do you have these?"

"I did cast moldings. My husbands cater to my whims." 

Lydia reluctantly handed the Jordan one back.

"Don't even THINK about THAT one. He may not see you as I do, but he still can't get his dick hard for anyone other than me."

"Why IS that?" Lydia cocked her head to the side. "I'm not after him... I never really was. He was yours and I wasn't going to take what is yours. I just always wondered... why?"

"He can't even answer that one." Elunara shrugged. "He tried for years to find a girl, but every time he got to the bed, he couldn't get hard. He thought he was impotent, women thought he was secretly gay. This went on for ages. He felt he'd die single. Then Renwa decided that the best way to loosen him up; was to send him to me. Not only did he get hard... well, he couldn't keep his hands off of me." Elunara shrugged. "Except, he had a major obstacle in his way... Grogek. Or so he thought. Thinking he could never have me, he tried other women again, only to figure out that the ONLY way he could get hard, was to fantasize about ME. Deciding it was cruel to other women, he gave up again. 

I didn't even realize this was going on. He was right under my nose, and I thought he hated me. I thought he was gay for Renwa. When Zelinnia came around, she found the evidence that had been staring me in the face. Curious, I approached him, only to discover that he was eating himself alive over me. I told him to follow his heart... and here we are." 

"Wow..." Lydia sighed. "Let me guess... Bradly thought he had the same thing with me..."

"Bingo." 

She groaned. 

"The major difference; is the fact that Bradly never tried. He just decided you were his Elunara..." 

"Damn it, Bradly." Lydia muttered. 

The door opened, and Bradly walked in. 

Lydia shoved the thing in her lap behind her back.

"Uh, did I interrupt?"

"Sorry, I forgot to put out the sign." Elunara popped open her board. "You know, son of mine, I have yet to figure out why you have such miraculous timing."

"Huh?" He raked his fingers through his hair. "I just came by to see if Lydia was feeling better." 

"Yes. Much." She flushed as her fingers fiddled with the metal object in the hand behind her back. "I'm fine."

He sighed. "Look, I know what I said." He held out the box. "Accept it or not, but it's still your birthday present. 

She took the box. "Well, it is a pretty necklace." Letting go of the hidden object, she put both hands on the box. "Thank you, Bradly." She smiled at him. 

He grinned at her. "What are you hiding anyway?" He reached out. 

Elunara grabbed his wrist. "No." 

"But..."

"No." Elunara shook her head. 

He blushed. "Oh." Straightening up, he bowed, before turning and leaving in a hurry. 

Lydia buried her face in her hands. "Oh, GODS that was embarrassing!"

Elunara cackled. "Now, do you need me to show you how to use it?"

"No, thank you. I'm going to go to my room and quietly die." She got halfway to the room, before doubling back and snatching the metal dick off the couch. 

As the door closed, Elunara laughed so hard, she stopped making noise.



For The Whored: The Future Ch. 03



Lydia sighed as she made her way through town.

"Hey, Lydia."

"Oh, hey Bryan." 

"How are you doing?"

"Better." She sighed. "I just wanted to sing. Care to join me?"

"Of course." He took her hand and smiled. "Anything to see you smile."

"Thanks." She gave him a faint smile. They reached the amphitheater. 

"Oh! Bradly." Bryan dropped Lydia's hand. "I didn't... well; of course you're out here."

Bradly raised an eyebrow. "Huh? Oh, Lydia. Are you going to sing?"

"Yeah, it... it makes me feel better. Why are you out here?"

He gave a shaky shrug. "It helps me think." 

"Hm." She climbed onto the stage. "Bryan, will you sing with me?" 

"Perhaps in a little while." He flushed and sat beside Bradly. 

When Lydia began to sing, Bradly closed his eyes. "She turned me down, you know."

"What?" Bryan blinked at Bradly. 

"I'm just the dumb little brother." He sighed. 

"Oh." Bryan bit his lip. "What are you going to do now?"

"Figure out what I want in a mate, I guess." He scrubbed his fingers through his hair. "I thought it was her..." He sighed. "Now, I don't know what I want." 

"Well..." Bryan was mesmerized by Lydia's song. He sighed. "Maybe it's someone you haven't noticed yet. Someone nearby... that waits... hoping..." 

"Well, you might as well try." Bradly grumbled.

"What?"

He shrugged. "Lydia doesn't want me. Maybe she'll give you a chance."

"Oh." Bryan frowned. "It's not Lydia I want..."

Bradly blinked. "She's not? But... you..."

Bryan shrugged. "I have been accused of being too touchy feely, I guess." He scratched the back of his head. "Eh. Whatever." He sighed. "They don't want me."

With a laugh, Bradly whacked Bryan on the back. "Never know til you try. But, hell I tried, and got smacked on my ass." He sighed and closed his eyes. "Now she lives in my house and I can't even touch her."

"That must hurt." Bryan chewed on his thumbnail. 

"At least she gave up on Darguni, so I don't have to sit and whimper over that one." He grinned. "And I get to listen to her sing in the shower." 

"I sing in the shower." Bryan whispered. 

"Yeah, but... just like her... you sing like an angel. It's kind of fascinating."

Bryan blushed. "You think?"

"Why aren't you up there singing? It would bring her joy."

He scrambled to get on the stage. Bryan took Lydia's hand and together they sang a beautiful duet. 

Later, Bradly waited for her. "Lydia?"

She pushed her hair out of her face and sighed. "Yes, Bradly?"

"Can I ask you something completely stupid that will probably get me punched in the face?"

Lydia rolled her eyes. "What now?"

"Can I kiss you? Just once?" He added hastily. "Maybe... maybe I can get you out of my system then."

Lydia groaned. "Gods, Bradly. Let it DIE."

He raked his fingers through his hair. "It's all I think about." He whispered. "And I think... maybe if it's awful... I mean... if you can't enjoy kissing someone, how could anything else work?"

She raked her fingers through her hair, and let out the breath she was holding. "I can't fault your logic." She dropped her hand. "Fine. ONCE!" She jabbed a finger at him. "You hear me? You ask again, and I'll sick your mother on you."

He winced. "That's a hell of a threat." 

"Bradly!"

Holding up his hands, he sighed. "Alright, alright." 

She scooted close to him and angled her face up. "Alright, do it."

He chuckled. "Sweetheart, I've been waiting so long for this one chance..." He put his knuckle under her chin. "I plan on doing it right." 

"Wha...?"

Brushing his lips against hers, soft as a whisper, his other hand came up and crushed into her soft blonde hair, pressing her deeper into his mouth. He danced his lips with hers, flicking his tongue across her lips, savoring the flavor of her. 

Before she realized what she was doing, she was clinging to him, responding in kind. She broke the contact with a gasp.

"Oh, Gods, Lydia." He breathed; his forehead against hers. 

"What did I just do?" She whimpered. 

"The best thing..." Was his whisper.

She struggled against him. "No!" She pounded her fist on his chest. "Let me go!"

Reluctantly, he opened his arms and watched her reject him again as she ran away. He made his way back down to the amphitheater and held his head in his hands. "Gods... why must you torment me?" He whimpered. 

"Bradly? Are you okay?"

He jolted. "Oh, hey, Bryan. Yeah, I'm fine. I just made the biggest mistake of my life."

Bryan cocked his head to the side. "Did Elunara disown you?"

"No. She might... I kissed Lydia."

"Oof. After she already rejected you?"

"Yeah... Momma might just kill me." 

Bryan sat down beside Bradly and put a hand on his back. "Well, you could always join my family." 

Bradly snorted. "I'll keep that idea on the plate." 

"Why'd you do it?"

He sighed and leaned back. "To see if it was worth it. I mean, you can't have a relationship with someone you can't stand to kiss." 

"That makes a lot of sense." Bryan nodded and looked up. "The stars are pretty tonight." 

"That they are." Bradly sighed. "I'd hoped to watch the heavens with an angel." He murmured. Closing his eyes, he sighed again. "I guess it's not in my stars." 

After a moment, Bradly's eyes shot open. Bryan was over him, eyes closed, their lips pressed together. He gasped, and Bryan pressed his advantage. Bradly finally managed to get his hands on Bryan's face and tugged him back. "ME?" Was all he could manage to say.

Bryan grabbed Bradly's arms. "Gods, I'm so sorry. I don't know what came over me." He turned brilliant red. 

"ME?" Bradly repeated, still too stunned to think clearly. He released Bryan's head.

"Well, you're so brave and handsome and..." Bryan ducked his head and fiddled with his fingers. "I like watching you. But you've always been so gone on Lydia..." 

"I'm flattered, but... but..." He blinked and frowned. "Hm."

"I'm not hearing a no." Bryan flushed. 

"I... I need to give this more thought." Bradly scrubbed his fingers through his hair. 

Lydia slammed through the house. 

"The hell's the matter with you?" Elunara looked over the banister. 

"Bradly kissed me!"

"Ugh, that boy, I'm going to bust his ass."

"I let him." Lydia yanked at her hair. 

"Oh, really?"

"Can you come down here?"

"Uhh, as soon as Grogek finishes."

Lydia looked up and flushed. "Oh." Elunara was leaning on the banister, completely naked.

"Seriously, did you even LOOK at the si- oh, there he goes." 

Grogek chuckled. "Yes, I'm finished with you for the moment." He licked Elunara's neck.

"I plan on having you again as soon as I deal with little miss sexually confused." 

Lydia wished she could curl under the couch and die.

"Now, about this kiss." Elunara had tugged on a light robe.

Lydia flushed. "Bradly asked if he could kiss me to "get it out of his system". Next thing I know, he's turned my brain to mush and I'm halfway to stripping him naked." 

"I think you should."

"Go back to your room, Darguni."

"What? I'm just pulling "a you", I think they should just fuck and be done with it."

"BED!"

"Alright, alright. Let me just get the book I'm after." 

"GODS! THIS HOUSE!" Lydia tossed her hands up. 

"Can you people be QUIET?!" Tina stuck her head over the banister. 

"YEAH! Some of us SLEEP here!" Lulu crossed her arms. 

"BED! ALL OF YOU!" Elunara yelled. 

Jordan stuck his head over the railing. "Gods, you love yelling at your freaking kids in the middle of the night." 

"Can I PLEASE speak to Lydia ALONE? GODS why did I let all you fuckers move in?"

"THE NEXT PERSON TO INTERRUPT; GETS PUT UNDER MY COMMAND TOMORROW!" Grogek bellowed. 

Everyone vanished in a hurry.

"Thank you, Sugarbear."

He nodded and went in the bedroom. 

Lydia flopped on her bed. "Ugh."

"So now you have a thing for Bradly."

"Kill me." Lydia whined. 

"Start talking."

"It was amazing." She sat up and sighed. "Gods, who knew he had a mouth like that? Well, I guess you did."

"Ugh. No. I do not have sex with my children. I also haven't heard of him kissing anyone else, so who the hell knows where it even came from." She tapped her chin. "Well, he probably got it from my books. I know Darguni reads them religiously. Bradly's gone through them a time or two." 

"All I know is, I was expecting it to be one of those icky brother kisses kind of thing, and instead I'm now wondering what else I'm missing." She groaned.

"Wait... did... you let him kiss you and then run off like a moron?"

"I had to protect my sanity!"

"Oh, look a mini Zelinnia." 

"What?"

"Zelinnia did the same thing to Renwa..." Elunara grinned. 

Lydia stared in horror.

At the opening of the door, Elunara stuck her head out of Lydia's bedroom door. "You're in late."

"I guess I am." Bradly looked around. "Everyone gone to bed?"

"Yeah." She left the door cracked behind her. 

"Hm." 

"What's up, doll baby?"

"So, um, apparently I like men too."

Elunara froze. "What?"

"Yeah, um, Bryan? Uhh Jerry and Louis' kid?"

"I am well acquainted with Bryan."

"Yeah, well, he kissed me. I didn't mind it so much." 

"And here I thought Darguni got the most of me." Elunara laughed. "How are you going to deal with this one?"

"I... haven't figured that part out. But, you know how you're always telling us to follow our hearts?"

"Yeah?"

"I didn't mind so much." He cocked his head to the side. "I guess if Lydia won't have me..."

"I'm going to stop you right there. What in THIS house, says you have to settle for just one?"

"Yeah, but... this family works because everyone agrees with everything. If Lydia won't have me, then maybe I look at Bryan. If Lydia will have me, then I have to figure out my relationship with her before I can do anything else." He shrugged.

Elunara walked over and put her hands on his face. "That's my good boy." She kissed both of his cheeks. "Go to bed, sort this stuff out tomorrow."

"I love her, momma. I just wish I could make her see it."

"Sweetheart, she's got to figure herself out first." She hugged him.

"Good night, Momma." 

"Good night, Bradly."

After watching Bradly go to his room, Elunara leaned over to Lydia's door. "You might want to figure that one into your weird little mind." She headed upstairs. 

The next day, Lydia sighed and leaned against a tree. Her body was yelling at her to do one thing, her mind was balking at the thought of it. She stood up and marched down to the training yard. Making her way through, she tapped Bradly on the shoulder. 

"Oh, hey. What's up?"

"Can I speak to you?" She jerked her head and swallowed the lump in her throat. "Alone."

"Of course." His eyebrows shot up, but he followed her anyway. "Are you alright? You're walking funny." 

"I'm fine." She grit her teeth. 

"You don't sound fine." He put his hand on her back. "Did you screw up a muscle?"

She spun around. "Look, you!" She jabbed a finger in his face. "I don't know what weird ass game you're playing here, but I ain't buying it."

"Huh?" he dropped his hands and stared at her. "You've lost me."

"Where did you learn to kiss?"

He blinked. "That's... not the track I was expecting."

"Answer me!"

Blushing, he wiped his hand on his mouth. "I read Momma's books... and," He licked his lips. "Practiced on my pillow?" Scratching the back of his neck, he sighed. "Look, I'm sorry if I upset you... or screwed it up. I mean... I kinda just went for it and I..." His confusion jumped a mile, by the fact that she had her mouth pressed against his. He returned the affection, wrapping his arms around her. "Gods, sweetheart, you drive me insane."

She gasped for air. "Gods, why do I want you so badly?" She ground out. "This has to be a trick." 

"Please." He begged. "Please let me have you." 

Lydia considered. "The house is empty."

He grabbed her hand and headed down. Stopping at the door, he fiddled with the signs. 

"Let's go to my room and lock the door. Don't worry about the sign." Lydia gasped.

"Good enough." He whispered. He tugged her into her bedroom and closed the door. 

She reached down and locked it. Putting both hands on either side of her face, he captured her mouth for his own. Their mouths danced together, as she ran her hands on his breastplate. "You're wearing too much for this." She whispered.

"Damned right I am." He was out of his armor in record time. 

She slid her hands over his bare chest. "When did this happen?" She shook her head. "Gods, I still remember..."

He kissed her again. "Let's not go there." He went for her mouth again, while his hands slipped under her shirt. He tugged it up and off. "You're so beautiful." He whispered, as his hands cupped and fondled her soft breasts. He groaned at the feel of them, better than anything he ever imagined. Bending down, he took a nipple into his mouth and began to suck. She gasped and grabbed wildly at him. 

Finding the edge of her skirt, he shoved it to the ground. Pushing her back to the bed, he was careful to lay her down gently, before climbing in on top of her. He kissed her mouth, her chin, her jaw, before trailing his mouth down her neck and across her shoulder. She gasped and arched against him. His fingers trailed down her belly and across her hip, before finding those soft curls. He groaned at the feel of her soft folds between his fingers. 

She tugged at his pants. "I can't take it anymore." She whimpered. Once he was free of his pants, she stared. "That's... bigger than I was expecting." 

"Don't worry, Sweetheart, we'll fit perfectly." He captured her mouth again, moving between her legs. Positioning himself, he rubbed the tip through her wet folds and almost lost himself. Struggling for composure, he slipped himself into her, inch by glorious inch. When he finally made it all the way in, he just laid there and enjoyed her slick flesh surrounding him. 

She dug her nails into his back. "Oh, that's better than I imagined."

He grinned. "It gets better." He whispered, as he moved himself in and out of her with a stroking rhythm.

"Oh! Oh, that's..." She buried her face into his shoulder. 

His hands roamed her soft little body, as he pumped himself. He whispered promises and love, as he drove her up and over. Her legs came up on his sides and he clung to her leg for dear life, before letting himself go. 

"Ah! Ok, that's just weird feeling."

Bradly chuckled as he twirled his fingers in her hair. "You sound like a virgin."

"I AM a virgin you ASS!" She whacked him in the shoulder. 

He blinked down. "But... there was supposed to be resistance if you were..."

She turned scarlet and jerked her head to the nightstand. 

Leaning over, he opened the drawer. Taking out the metal object, he laughed. "Only my mother..."

"Shut up." Lydia grumbled, her arms wrapped around his back. 

"Sweetheart, you've got to let me know..."

"I'm still working it out, ok?" 

With a sigh, he stroked her forehead. "I kind of hoped that, we'd lose our virginities together, and then BE together..."

"Well, you're ahead of that game, aren't you?" She snorted.

"Huh?"

"I certainly wasn't YOUR first."

"Um, yes you are." He sighed. "Would you stop second guessing everything? It's very frustrating. My mother, Goddess of Sex herself, wrote PLENTY on the subject. I may not have studied the damned things like Darguni does, but I did read them, and I have read every trick in the book for maintaining my dignity so that I could make it special for us." He raked his fingers through his hair. "Instead of cuddling with my beloved, I feel like I'm laying with an angry cat!"

"He really studies them?" She blinked.

"Every moment of every day, if he's not at the yard, or sticking it into a willing body, then he's got one of mother's books in his hands."

She snorted a giggle. "Oh, Gods."

"You should have been there the day he took one of her books down to the yard. Not only did he piss Grogek off, he ripped one of the pages. I thought we'd STILL be finding the pieces of his body." 

"I couldn't imagine being that obsessed with sex."

"Well, he IS Elunara's biological son."

"I wonder if he'll eat energy like she does."

"No sign of it so far." Bradly shrugged. He sighed. "Not the topic I was hoping for after we finally had each other..." He twirled a lock of her hair. 

"What were you hoping for?" Lydia sighed.

"Love, kids, and marriage." He sighed and rubbed his cheek on her forehead. 

"Hm." She sighed. "Bradly, I'm sorry."

"Don't tell me you're rejecting me again." He flopped his head on the bed.

"No." She said quietly. "I'm apologizing for jerking you around so much. I just don't understand myself. You've always been an annoying kid brother, and then you said all that to me in the library that day, and everything flipped on its head. I can't believe I let you kiss me." She grumbled. "Then I just had to find out if the body matched the mouth." Growling, she scrubbed her hands over her face. "This is all so damned confusing." 

With a chuckle, he tugged her hands down. "Now don't do that, I wouldn't want you to bruise that beautiful face." 

"And then I feel like I have to ask how Bryan fits into all of this."

He froze. "Heard that, did you?"

"Was hard not to." She mumbled. 

"Truth is... I don't know." Sitting up, he put his arms on his knees. "I'm not even sure how that works, to be honest. I mean, mother has written extensively on Jerry and Louis and a few other male couples she's conned into letting her watch... but I skimmed that stuff. It didn't seem to be on my list. I was always going to marry you, what did I care about male relationships? Then Bryan kisses me, and instead of being grossed out, I was... curious." 

Lydia sat up and absently rubbed her cheek on his arm. "I guess that would be kind of weird." She sighed. "I guess that's why your mother keeps telling us that we have to figure out who we are before we leap into things." Closing her eyes, she searched her heart. "Curious..."

"What?" 

"Close your eyes and search your heart." She whispered. "Do you want to know what mine says?"

"I would love nothing better." He whispered.

"It's telling me, that I want both for you." 

"Huh?"

Raking her fingers through her hair, she laughed. Up on her knees, she shoved him back and straddled his stomach. "You should have both."

"Both what?" He ran his hands on her hips and licked his lips.

"Like your mother..." She bent down and brushed her lips against his. Then, she put her arms across his chest. "I wouldn't mind dating you..."

He gasped. "You mean it?"

"My heart says I should pursue you."

"Sweetheart, I'll..."

She put her finger over his mouth. "I also, would not be hurt, if you allowed Bryan to pursue you as well."

"What?" He blinked.

"Well, your mother has Grogek AND Tulani. There's nothing wrong with that. Though," She tapped a finger to her chin. "I draw the line at you having a second girlfriend. At least, at the moment. We shouldn't go full Elunara immediately."

He tugged her forward and assaulted her mouth. "I won't make you regret this." 

"Something tells me I won't." She grinned.



For The Whored: The Future Ch. 04



"So, Bradly and I are dating now."

Elunara blinked up from her board. "So that's why Bradly's been walking around whistling like a loon." She giggled. "He's so his daddy."

"Huh?"

"Jordan whistles when he's extremely happy about something."

"Ah." Lydia flopped down. "I also told him to let Bryan pursue him too." 

"That's... unique."

"You have Jordan AND Tulani. Doesn't seem all that weird to me." 

"Goody." She snorted. 

Bradly made his way down to the amphitheater. "I figured you'd be here."

Bryan jolted and knocked his papers out of his lap. 

Reaching down, Bradly began to gather the papers. He picked up one and stared at it. "This is me."

Blushing, Bryan yanked it out of Bradly's hand and tucked it back into his pile. "I'm sorry." He mumbled. 

"I need to talk to you." 

"I figured you would." He sighed and sat back down, tucking his pencil in its case.

"I'm ok with it."

"Huh?" Bryan whipped his head around. 

"Well," Bradly rubbed his neck. "Ok, this is going to get weird for a few minutes, so just hang on til the end, ok?"

"I'm... listening." 

"So, you surprised me the other day, and I was a little confused because I didn't exactly object to it. I did some thinking and figured out that, yeah, I was ok with it. But you know that I've been stuck on Lydia since... forever, and well, I was also kind of stuck on that and decided that maybe if Lydia really was done with me, that maybe you and I could.... See where things went." He shrugged. "But then Lydia came to me, and... wanted more. After a really weird conversation, we're dating now."

"Oh." Bryan frowned. "Oh."

"Hold up, I'm not done." 

Bryan just blinked. 

"I said it was a weird conversation... but anyway, she told me that she thinks I should allow you to pursue me too. Kind of like how my mother is married to three men and a woman. Honestly, I don't disagree with her logic. But the end result is that you have to be ok with the idea too. I mean, it's already going to be complicated enough, trying to date two people." He laughed. "Again, I couldn't disagree with Lydia's logic on the whole thing."

"You... want to date Lydia AND me?"

"Sorry." He winced. "That sounds awful. You know how weird my mother is..." Wincing again, he sighed. "I am so fucking this up." 

Bryan sat his stuff to the side and stood up. He put his hands on Bradly's shoulders before brushing his lips across Bradly's. Bradly wrapped his arms around Bryan and returned the affection. Bryan broke contact first. "I accept."

"Well, okay then." Bradly blinked. 

Elunara walked into the house and blinked.

"Hey, mom."

She stared at Bradly hanging upside down from the couch. "I wasn't aware you knew about that setting."

"I read the manual you wrote." He chuckled. "I remembered when we were kids, and you did this on Grogek's back."

"You realize I use this setting to suck someone off while they eat me, right?"

"Huh. Makes sense. How do you manage with all the blood rushing to your head?"

"Speed is the key." Reaching over, she popped the couch flat. "What's going on?"

"Lydia will only date me if I date Bryan too."

"Uh... That's... not what she told me."

"Well, that's how she put it." 

"Do you WANT to date Bryan?" She flopped on the couch. 

"I was kinda hoping for an either/or, not a both. I mean, I've spent my WHOLE LIFE waiting for Lydia, and when I finally have her in my hands, she drops this on me." He sighed and raked his fingers through his hair. "I'll do anything to keep her, even if I don't get why."

"Have you told HER this little gem?"

"Not... exactly?"

Elunara got up to answer the door. "Hey, Jerry."

Bradly bolted up. "General Jerry!"

"I heard about you and Bryan." 

Bradly sighed. "Yes, sir. It's... complicated." 

"Might as well start talking." Elunara closed the door. 

"Sir, I like Bryan, I really do... he's a sweet guy and all, but... Well, you see, I've always wanted..."

"I'm certain the entire city knows about your obsession with Lydia." Jerry grinned.

Bradly blushed. "She told me that she wouldn't date me unless I dated Bryan at the same time." He raked his fingers through his hair again. "I don't want to hurt Bryan, but I can't let Lydia slip through my fingers again. It's... she drives me completely crazy." He put his face in his hands. "I just know Bryan is going to get hurt in all this mess and I just don't want to do that." 

"That's very unfair of her." Jerry murmured.

"That's the thing." Bradly groaned. "She thinks THIS is being fair."

Jerry scrubbed his hand across his face. "Well, this is something you three need to work out, because if something happens to Bryan, I'm holding both of you accountable."

"You'd be right to." Bradly sighed. "I like Bryan, I really do. But, all I've ever wanted was Lydia. I'm not like my mother; I can't maintain five hundred relationships at once." He bit his lip. "Oh! Momma! You should see Bryan's drawings, they're beautiful." He blushed. "Of course, the ones I saw were of me, but I think he has a real knack for it." 

"Fascinating." She tapped a finger to her chin. 

The door opened and everyone stared at Lydia.

"Uh, hello. The signs weren't..."

"So, what's this about you only dating Bradly if he dates Bryan too?" Elunara put her hands on her hips.

"That... um..." Lydia turned deep red. "That's not what I said." 

Bradly jolted to his feet. "Yes you did!"

"No, I didn't!" She stomped her foot. "It doesn't matter, YOU said you wanted him!"

"I WANT YOU!" Bradly tossed his hands up. "After you REJECTED me yet AGAIN, I decided that maybe I'd give Bryan a chance. Once you gave me hope, I wasn't about to do anything to jeopardize that!"

"You... only agreed to date him because of me?"

"YES, YOU NINNY!"

"Oh."

Everyone looked back at the door. 

"Bryan! Wait! No!" Bradly took off after him.

Elunara walked over to Lydia and smacked her on the back of the head. "Idiot."

"Ugh, kids." Jerry snorted.

"I know. Imagine trying to give yourself to someone you don't want; just to save face in front of someone you do want."

Jerry turned scarlet. "You win." 

Bradly caught up with Bryan at the amphitheater. "Bryan, wait, please?"

"Go away." Bryan clung to the package in his arms. 

Bradly put his hand on Bryan's arm. "Please, just let me talk." 

Bryan jerked his arm back. "Go away. I don't want your pity."

"Oh, Bryan..." He wiped the tears off of Bryan's face with his thumb. "You misunderstand completely." He sighed. "That Lydia made a mess of things and I let her. Look, I... all my life..."

"Yeah, everyone knows about your obsession with Lydia." Bryan sniffled. 

He winced. "I guess they do." He put his hands on Bryan's arms. "Anyway, when I thought she was done with me... AGAIN I was left in the awkward position of figuring out what I wanted in life. Then you kissed me and things got a lot stranger."

Bryan opened his mouth, but Bradly shook his head. 

"It was strange, because I didn't mind. It was a "huh, would you look at that" moment. So I thought to myself, "well, that wouldn't be so bad". I figured I'd sleep on it and go from there." He ran his hands up and down Bryan's arms in an absent gesture. "Next thing I know, Lydia is dragging me into her bed, and I think... everything is finally right with the world. I knew, absolutely knew, that no matter what it takes, I'd agree to any damned thing she said to keep her there." He stepped back and raked his fingers through his hair. 

"I can imagine what she said." Bryan muttered.

"Here's the thing... I didn't mind so much. It wasn't a "oh, gods, what are you doing to me now?" It was more of a... "Oh, ok, that's cool." He sighed. "The actual problem... is that I'm not really like my mother. I can't juggle a billion people at once. I don't have her kind of energy. I have wanted Lydia so badly, for so long, that I dove out without thinking about what I was doing. I should have given it more thought; I should have made Lydia clarify what was in her silly little head. 

I am so damned sorry that I acted without thinking, and my mother is going to have my head on that point. But, I have to admit that I'm completely scared. I finally have what I want, and I don't want it to slip through my fingers. On the other hand, I don't want to hurt you either. This is all so messed up, and I could strangle Lydia right about now." He brushed his fingers across Bryan's cheek. "You see, if it wasn't all so mixed up... Bryan, I like you, I really do. I wouldn't be opposed to dating you and figuring you out, but I will freely admit that I jumped the gun, just to get what I wanted. I'm so sorry, please forgive me." 

Bryan's breathing quickened and he bit his lip. "I made this for you." He held up the wrapped bundle.

"Oh, thank you." Bradly opened the package and gasped. "This... you made this for me?" he stared at himself in a couple of poses, mostly naked. "When...?"

"Sometimes, when you're at training, I watch... sometimes when you go swimming in the lakes... I watch." Bryan blushed and fiddled with his fingers. "Do you like it?"

"I love it." He murmured. Bradly wiped at the tears with the heel of his hand. 

"I didn't mean to make you cry." Bryan put his hands on Bradly's arm.

"No, it just... it reminds me of the first time I commissioned momma." He put his hand to his mouth. "It still hangs above my bed, with the picture of my birth father... just before he died." He grabbed Bryan's arm. "I need to put this up, right now. I have to." He dragged Bryan all the way home. 

Bradly pushed open the door. "Momma?"

Elunara stuck her head out of the Library. "Get things settled?"

"Mostly... I need the tools. I want to put up my picture."

"Hold your horses, let me fin– What picture?"

Bradly held it up. "Bryan made it." 

Elunara gently took the frame in her hands. "Oh, this is beautiful." 

"You think?" Bryan blushed. "I know it's not up to your quality." 

"Sweetheart, I've been drawing for well over fifty years, it's difficult to match what I can do. This, this is pure beauty. Let me get my things." 

Elunara stepped back and admired her work. "That is a piece made out of love." She put her hand on Bradly's shoulder. "I'll leave you alone." She stepped out of the room and closed the door.

"I remember spending the night here as kids. I was always so jealous of all you had." Bryan looked around. "Now you two get the strange privilege of staying here instead of the soldier's quarters."

"Yeah, we got ragged for days about that, but when your dad's the trainer, your mother married the king, and you're considered "the pride of Stormwind", you get all kinds of perks."

Bryan ran his tongue over the roof of his mouth. "Your mother fixed me, and then wandered off without a thought." 

"She does that."

Bryan sat on Bradly's bed. "For a long time, I thought that I could love her..." He sighed. "But it never fit right. But, you and Darguni are just so like her, that... I began to realize my affections fell elsewhere." Licking his lips, he sighed. "Darguni kind of scares me. Not that he means to, but he's just so damned big." He gestured to the other bed. "One day, when we were teenagers, you took your shirt off in front of me, and my brain died." He stared at the bed sheets. "You already had years of training, and you were pretty built then, even your scars were... beautiful. I kind of wanted... to lick you." 

He laughed and rubbed his neck. "Forget kind of. I fantasized about it. It drove me crazy. I started drawing then, because I knew that a picture was all I was going to get. You only had eyes for Lydia, there was no way you'd go for me. The irony of who adopted me, and what I eventually became, is not lost on me."

"Huh."

Bryan looked up. "What?"

"Double irony... Mother started drawing so she could capture all of her sexual conquests." 

Bryan blinked. "Seriously?"

"Yeah. That's how her whole mess started." 

"I have no idea how to feel about that." 

"No one ever does." He shrugged. "We're all pretty open about sex by this point. Momma goes "I'm going to go fuck Varian." And we're all like "Ok, have fun."

"Wow." 

"It's just who we are. I guess that's why I'm ok with the whole thing. I don't see the male/female argument. My mother has two husbands and a wife, hell, your grandmother is married to a woman, your parents are both male, it's all just eh at this point." Bradly ran his fingers through his hair. "I guess I shouldn't have skimmed over the male set parts of her works." He ran his hand over his mouth. "I wonder if I should. I guess that depends on where we go from here."

Bryan sat there, fidgeting, his face unbearably hot. Staring down at his hands, he searched for the right words. "I want..." He sighed. "I want you to love me, not because you have to, but because you want to."

"Is it enough to say that I am willing to try?" Bradly quietly asked. 

Bryan's head snapped up. 

"I'm probably going to screw this whole mess up. In fact, I know I am. I love Lydia with all of my being, even though she drives me completely nuts. But, I did get something started with you, and I'm sorry if I've yanked you around with all of this. I should have spoken to Lydia first, but I was just so excited. I just don't want you to feel lost in all of this." 

"I..." Bryan's throat closed up on him. "I want you. Gods, I want you so badly." 

"I just don't want to hurt you." Bradly whispered. 

"I'd be happy with just once..." 

"You can't..." Bradly croaked out. He swallowed and cleared his throat. "You can't let me forget you in all of this." 

Bryan stood up and wrapped his arms around Bradly's neck. "I won't let you." He whispered, before crushing his mouth to Bradly's. His fingers slid up through Bradly's hair, and he groaned into his mouth. 

Bradly broke contact. "Good lord, Bryan." He ran his hands down Bryan's back and gripped his ass. "I had no idea you were so passionate." 

"Yeah, well..." Bryan blushed. "I've been waiting six years for this." 

Bradly winced. "Ouch." He licked his lips. "I have no idea how this is supposed to work." 

"Uh, me either." Bryan licked his lips. "It's not as if I had a front row seat to my dads or anything."

"I've read my mother's books, but I kinda skipped over those parts."

"I figured I'd just get you naked and figure it out from there." 

"Ah, the old standby. Good choice."

Bradly's hands went up and tugged Bryan's shirt off. Licking his lips, Bryan returned the favor. They helped each other out of their pants, before their mouths met again, gently dancing and tangling together. Bryan trailed his mouth down, to the chin, across the jaw and down the neck.

"How long have I waited... to do just this?" He ran his tongue up Bradly's chest, causing Bradly to gasp and lay his head back. Still, Bryan worked his way down to that trail of body hair, until he found Bradly's dick. He took it in his hands. "I've also wondered how this tastes." He licked the length of him. 

Bradly fell back on the bed with a gasp, sitting on the edge. "Bryan!"

"If just the once..." He whispered, before slipping his mouth over it. Gently, he sucked his way down until he had the length of it in his mouth. 

"Oh, Hon." Bradly groaned. "I've always wondered what it would be like..."

Bryan began to move his head back and forth, sucking and slurping at the dick. In and out he pumped his mouth, thrilled at the noises Bradly made as his fingers crushed into Bryan's hair. Cupping the balls, he enjoyed the feel of them in his hands. 

"Gods, Bryan... I... I'm..." He gasped. 

Bryan sucked down hard, eager to taste what came to him. 

Clinging to the bed and Bryan's hair, Bradly let go of himself into Bryan's waiting mouth. 

Bryan pulled off and licked his lips. "Better than I imagined." He whispered.

Frantically, Bradly tugged Bryan up into his lap. "That... was amazing." Without another thought, he wrapped him into his embrace, their mouths crushed together in a frantic mating dance. Bradly's hand found Bryan's dick, and he began to pump his hand on it. "I want your body against mine..." Was the last they said for awhile.



For The Whored: The Future Ch. 05



"Well, that was kind of fun." Bradly laughed. Bryan was tucked up under his arm. 

The door opened and Darguni stopped and stared. "The shit?"

Bradly jolted up. "Uh, hey. Soo... I have a boyfriend now."

"What happened to Lydia?"

"I have a girlfriend AND a boyfriend? I don't know. This is getting weirder by the minute." 

"Well that explains the glitter bomb."

Bradly chucked a shoe at Darguni.

He caught it. "And they say I got the most of mom." He snorted. 

Bryan was hiding behind Bradly. "So, you're ok with it?"

"Why should I care? My brother can be a cockmuncher if he wants." Darguni yanked his shirt off and tossed it into the laundry pile. 

"Can... I ask a personal question?" Bryan peeked over Bradly's shoulder. 

"Family policy, blurt it and go, I'll figure out if it's offensive or not."

"Are you really as big as they say you are?"

Darguni shoved his pants to the floor. "You be the judge."

"HOLY SHIT!" Bryan hid again.

Elunara popped open the door. "Hey g–" She blinked. "This was not the threesome I would have expected to walk in on." 

"Mother!" Bradly hissed. 

"What? It's true." She considered the scene before her. "Huh. You're bigger than your dad."

Darguni's eyes shot up as he looked down. "Am I?"

"By about a quarter inch. But I haven't seen you hard, so I'd have to compare notes, you might wind up bigger. I need my board."

"MOTHER!" Bradly repeated. 

"Oh, yeah. Right. I told Lydia she could have your third floor. She's currently moving her stuff upstairs. I was already going to let her have it, so she could have her own space, but since you're boinking each other now..."

"ELUNARA!" Lydia hissed. 

"I told you, I don't do "censored", deal with it, chicky."

"So I'm bigger than dad?" Darguni licked his lips.

"I wouldn't go bragging about that, mister. You know how he gets about bragging."

"Yeah, he'll bust my quarter inch off."

"Oh, wait, so NOW you're OK with BRYAN?"

Bradly put a hand to his head. "You are so fucking confusing!" He growled. "I literally cannot win with you!" 

"Alright, that is IT! I am TIRED of the BOTH of you!" Elunara slammed the door closed. "You!" She pointed to Lydia. "This IS your freaking fault! NO, you CANNOT use the kiss bullshit, because ever since Bradly confessed to you, that's all the hell YOU'VE been thinking of EITHER! You WANTED him to, that's why you LET him, and it isn't really HIS fault that it woke you up to the goddamned truth! YOU!" She pointed at Bradly. "You jump the gun way too goddamned fast, and you almost hurt Bryan in the process and that's not fair to ANYONE." She pointed back at Lydia. "You need to get your head out of your goddamned ass and decide if you really WANT to love this man, or so help me I will beat your ASS!

He fucking LOVES YOU, and when Bradly loves someone, he does it with his whole heart, because that's how I fucking raised him to do it. You told him to pursue Bryan and guess what fucking happened? If you can't figure it out, I'm going to whack you again! Now either accept your place in this mess, or go back upstairs and STAY THERE until I've decided what to DO with you!"

Tears streamed down Lydia's face. "But I..."

"I know you're confused, I know this is weird, but you started this mess. You said you were willing to let Bradly have both, then stick to it. If you hadn't run your damned mouth, he would have never dragged Bryan into the middle of this. GODS, I'm sick of children and their refusal to fucking TALK. This house has an open honesty policy that has been there from day one for a REASON. We avoid all this drama bullshit, because we fucking TALK!" 

Lydia flopped down on Darguni's bed. "I'm sorry Elunara." She dragged her fingers through her hair. "You're right..." She sighed. "As usual."

"I have the most awkward boner." Darguni mumbled. 

Elunara shot him a look. "Yeah, well, I'm told that me yelling at people gets them hard."

"I wasn't even the one being yelled at." 

She cocked her head to the side. "half an inch."

"Huh?"

"Yeah, half an inch." She shook her head. "ANYWAY! Lydia, FIX IT!" She pointed. 

Lydia looked up. "Well, I..." She scrambled back. "HOLY DAMN!" 

"Yeah, I get that a lot." Darguni snorted. 

"How does that FIT in a person?" 

"Very tight, I assure you."

Bradly smacked his face. "Great, now my so-called girlfriend is discussing my brother's dick." 

The door opened again. "Love are you... what in the HELL is going on in here???" Grogek blinked.

"Nothing fun, that's for sure." She snorted. "To recap, Lydia prick teased Bradly into a relationship with Bryan, and Darguni was, I think, trying to get ready for bed when he walked in on the mess. I yelled at them, and now poor Darguni has a hard on for days." 

"Not an uncommon reaction." Grogek snorted. "Are you coming to bed any time soon?"

"Eventually." She sighed. 

"Susan would like for you to calm the baby."

"Hell with it, I've had my say." She glared at them. "Work it out!" She closed the door behind her.

"Calm the baby?" Bryan peeked over Bradly's shoulder. 

"Susan is pregnant with a half orc; my dad's... so it's pretty big and pretty powerful. You can see her belly shift with the baby, kind of freaky. Mom can calm the baby with her energy, lulling it to sleep." Darguni yanked on a pair of sleep pants. "Can you get off my bed?"

Lydia scrambled to get out of the way, before Darguni flopped down. 

"Geez, now I got this thing to contend with." Darguni grumbled. 

"Then go upstairs." Bradly snorted. 

"No, because I'm stuck on how I got the thing." He put the pillow over his face and laid back.

Lydia began to wildly giggle. 

"What's with you?" Bradly eyed her.

"Gods, I spend way too much time around your mother."

"Spit it out."

"Well, Bryan's gay, I'm straight, and you're apparently bisexual, so everyone present has no issues watching a guy jack off."

Bradly buried his face in his hands. "GODS!"

"She has a point." Bryan squeaked. 

Darguni raised the pillow and his head. "Yes, you spend entirely too much time with my mother." 

"Well, now I kind of want to see it." Lydia put a finger to her chin. 

"Me too." Bryan giggled. 

"You didn't tell me your girlfriend was such a little freak." Darguni snorted, before reburying his face under his pillow. 

"Would help if I actually knew that!" Bradly snorted. 

"I am NOT! I'm just curious... I've never seen ANY guy jack off." Lydia crossed her arms.

"I've just never seen one that big." Bryan whispered. 

"Penises are a new thing to me." Lydia shrugged.

"What were we just talking about?" Bradly grumbled. "About running your mouth?"

Lydia sighed. "Bradly... For most of my life, you've been this really irritating little brother. Then, in the library that day, I realized how poorly I had misjudged you. I've been struggling with that, ever since. I started seeing you in a different light, and it was horribly awkward for me. I now know that I want to try to have a relationship with you. I also felt like shit when I found out that Bryan wanted you too, and then I started thinking about how he acts around you and it occurred to me that he's waited almost as long for you, as you have for me. I felt incredibly guilty..."

"What are you doing?" Bradly sighed. 

"What does it look like, genius? It's starting to hurt." Darguni had his hands in his pants, stroking himself up and down. 

Bradly smacked a hand to his forehead. "Continue." He sighed. 

Lydia tore her eyes away. "So, I kind of thought that I could do both... I could share you with Bryan. Then I wouldn't have to feel so guilty..." She stared as Darguni pulled himself free of his pants and wrapped a fist around his dick. "I didn't really take into account Bryan's feelings on the matter, and that was cruel of me." She licked her lips. 

"Do keep talking." Darguni grunted.

"A-anyway..." She tried to focus on Bradly, as her face flamed. 

Bryan had started licking Bradly's shoulder, as his erection pressed into Bradly's back. 

"Gods, I want to try that." Lydia whimpered.

"Feel free to try." Darguni's hand picked up pace. 

"This is impossible." Bradly groaned, as his own hand stroked his growing erection. 

"Bradly..." Lydia licked her lips. "I... want you. I want so desperately..." She stared at Darguni's dick. "For..."

"Gods, Lydia, just suck the damned thing already." Bradly growled. 

Without waiting for another word, Lydia scrambled over and put her mouth over the tip of Darguni's dick. He groaned and grabbed the side of her head. She bent over and took him into her mouth. Bradly got up and tugged Lydia's skirt up, before burying himself into her dripping center with a groan. He held on to her hips and began to thrust in and out of her slick folds. Bryan's hands came around Bradly's waist, and before he could react, Bryan pressed himself up into Bradly's ass.

"Oh, dear Gods." Bradly groaned. 

Darguni's fingers threaded through Lydia's hair, as she tried to take as much of him in her mouth as she could manage. "Gods, fucking suck it." He growled at her. 

Bradly's fingers dug into the flesh of her ass, as he pumped himself in and out of her slick, wet center. "Lydia." He whimpered, as his thumb caressed her asshole, sending her into gasps. 

Bryan's fingers dug into Bradly's chest as he licked at Bradly's neck. In and out, he slid himself, enjoying the feel of Bradly's well toned ass. His teeth scraped against sensitive flesh.

Darguni let himself go and Lydia almost choked with it. The way she jerked her body, sent Bradly's thumb into her ass, which caused her to clamp down in shock. Bradly near exploded in her, as Bryan gave himself up into Bradly. 

Bryan slid free and clung to Bradly's back. 

Lydia was still coughing when Darguni sat up. He gently pat her back. "Sorry, no one expects the amount." 

"I'm starting to see why mother has so many lovers." Bradly held his head. "You can't get those kinds of sensations with just one."

Lydia shivered. "I'm sorry. I have no idea what came over me." 

Bradly wrapped his arms around her. "It's fine. I think if it was anyone else I'd have been mad... but I kind of also told you to do it..." He winced. "No idea why the idea was turning me on." 

Darguni snorted. "Because our dads?" He pointed up. "They became brothers because they were fucking the same woman. Granted, uhh I don't exactly want Lydia for my own." 

Bradly shifted and tugged Bryan forward. "Well, whatever the reason, this is where our relationship is, I guess." 

"I'm going to go ahead and say that I'm not going to stick my dick in your girl without your prior knowledge and request." Darguni held his hands up. "I'm just not like that."

"I know, dude. I know." Bradly shook his head. "Tonight was a weird fluke."

"I'm still horrified my mother gave me a hard on." Darguni buried his face in his pillow. 

"I'm still trying to figure out why I liked having a dick up my ass." Bradly snorted. 

Bryan giggled and blushed. 

"You're being awful quiet." Bradly whispered to Lydia. 

"I'm sorry!" She yelped. "I don't know what came over me, I've never even done that before, but suddenly it was like the only thing I've ever wanted, and I don't know why, but then it's like I couldn't stop and I couldn't think and I..." She began to gasp.

"Whoa, whoa, slow down, sweetheart. It's ok." He wrapped his arms around her. "It's ok." He buried his nose in her neck. "It was just a weird situation, and I think we all rather enjoyed ourselves."

"GAH!" I'm such a screw up!" She raked her fingers through her hair. 

"Shh, shh, no you're not." 

Bryan fiddled with his fingers. "Um, I think I should go. It's kind of late..."

"Ugh, tell me about it." Darguni flopped back. "I'm exhausted."

"Yeah, this might take awhile." Bradly sighed. "You go home, I'll see you tomorrow. Try not to be loud when you leave."

Bryan tugged on his clothes. "Yes, of course." He tugged Bradly forward and assaulted his mouth. After a moment, he let go with a gasp. "Tomorrow." He whispered, before he slipped out of the door.

"That... is really weird to watch." Darguni snorted.

Bradly ran his tongue over his teeth. "You're telling me."

"Why don't you take Lydia upstairs, so I can get some damned sleep?"

"Good idea." Bradly grabbed Lydia's hand and dragged her up to the third floor. "Come on, beauty, speak to me."

"I'm so confused. I don't know why I do these things." She laid her head against his chest. 

"Tell me what you want, sweetheart, so I can give it to you." 

"That's just it... I don't know. It seems to change from one minute to the next."

"What do you want right now?"

"You." She whimpered. 

"That's a good place to start." He brushed his lips across hers. "Because I'm already yours." 

"Oh, Bradly." She whispered.

"Just let me love you, that's all I've ever asked." 

"Please?"



For The Whored: The Future: Ch. 06



Elunara made her way down the stairs. "Girl, I sure as hell hope you have something better to do with your time than lay on my couch in despair, cause I got clients."

Lydia raised her head. "I sucked off Darguni while Bradly fucked me." She flopped back down.

"Wow. I'm impressed." 

"I don't even know WHY. I've NEVER done that with anyone. Hell, the other day with Bradly was the first time I've had sex, and suddenly I'm bridging." She raked her fingers through her hair. "And I loved every minute of it." She groaned. "Gods, I want to do it again."

"I have to ask how that one even happened."

"Well, Darguni was upset that you gave him a hard on..."

Elunara blinked at Lydia's lengthy description. "Suddenly, I wish I could have seen this." She put a hand to her forehead. "Wow... just wow..."

"Who knew sucking a dick could be that... thrilling?"

"I did. But, next time, try sucking Bradly's; you're less likely to choke to death on the load. But never after he's stuck it in either yours or Bryan's ass. That's just disgusting."

Lydia's eyes went wide. "My ass?" She squeaked. 

"Oh, you'll get there eventually. If you want, I can train you, make it easier. Might be best if I try to train you first, if you decide it's not for you, you can tell him early and avoid the disappointments all around."

Lydia just stared at her. "You really CAN discuss anything."

"It's a gift." Elunara shrugged. "Consider my offer. If Bradly has a boyfriend, the topic WILL come up." 

"Ok." Lydia stared off, wide eyed.

"My advice to you: is to figure out what you enjoy and go for it. You can always pick up my books for reference. But for now, get out of my house. I have a client in ten minutes."

"Yes, Ma'am."

Elunara whistled to herself as she worked on her latest set of commissions. 

"I want a cast mold of my dick."

She blinked up at Darguni. "Wha?"

"I know you have one of dad's, now I want one of mine."

She propped her chin in her hand. "Does this have anything to do with "half an inch"?"

"Maybe a little... but no, I can't exactly whip myself out wherever... and I get asked the question... and I can't even count how many have wanted a go until they actually see the damned thing."

"So you want to carry it around in your pocket or something?"

"Maybe..." He considered. "Now, I want two." 

Her eyebrow shot up. "Fine. I'll do it. Be aware that you have to be at peak hardness for it to work."

He fidgeted. "I'll make it work." 

A few days later, she stood with Darguni in the library. "Alright, how this works, is you get hard, and then lay your dick in this special polymer I designed. It feels like a pussy once you're in it. I then close the top and press it down. If you're rock hard, it'll give me a perfect mold. If not, we have to work on it until it does. After I free you, it has to harden for a few days, and once it's solid, metal gets poured into it and we have a perfect transfer."

"That's pretty cool."

"Unfortunately, due to the fickle nature of this, I have to be here to make it perfect."

Darguni winced. "So... my mother has to handle my junk."

"Deal with it." She shrugged. "You want it done; you'll get it done right. Else wise you're left with a round nothing and no one will believe it's yours." 

He rubbed his hand over his face and groaned. "FINE! FINE!" 

"If you want, I can give you some privacy." She tapped a finger to her chin. "Or you can pretend I'm someone else and I can do it for you." 

"You could try yelling at me... that worked last time." He muttered.

"Do I need to get Lydia?" She whispered. Darguni blushed and she snorted. "Well, well, well."

"Shiiiiit." Darguni pushed his pants down, freeing his quickly hardening dick. "That's never good."

Elunara laughed. "Oh, come on. You've seen our family. It's not really surprising."

"Yeah, but Lydia's always been Bradly's thing... hell, I still only see her as a sister. It's just..."

"Yeeees?"

Darguni turned darker and his dick jumped. "That was the best head I've ever had." 

"Really now? Out of an untrained virgin?"

"Virgin?"

"She hasn't even sucked Bradly's dick. Only had sex with him once... but saw yours... and craaaved." 

He closed his eyes and shuddered. "I'm an awful brother." He whimpered. 

"In fact..." She put her hand on his shoulder and whispered in his ear. "She can't wait to do it again." She ran her thumb across the top of his dick and then the tip. "Well, would you look at that?" She stuck her thumb in her mouth and grabbed a towel. "Can't have any moisture in the mold." She wiped him off and moved him into it. He gasped and grabbed her arm. "See, I told you it felt like a pussy." She pressed down on the mold. 

"You're completely crazy." He whimpered. 

"I'm also effective." She scribbled several notes on her board. 

He blinked at her notes. "You... tasted it?"

"I have a compulsion. Either way, a body's a body." She continued to jot her notes. She popped the latch and helped free him. She examined the mold. "Perfect." She sealed it and put it on her shelf. "In a few days, I'll have it poured. You're free to go." 

"You're still crazy."

"You've known me HOW long?" She winked. "You're going to have to figure out that Lydia thing."

"Ugh, I don't want a relationship with her; I just want her to suck my dick again." He yanked his pants up.

"Want who to suck your dick?" 

Darguni jolted back. "Bradly!"

"Ew, no. I don't care WHAT I just started; I am not sucking your dick." Bradly shuddered. 

Darguni scrubbed his hands over his face. "Honesty policy... honesty policy." He muttered. "I..." He sighed. "I want Lydia to suck my dick again." He winced. 

"Oh." Bradly blinked. "Oh... uhh."

"Can you two twits go talk in your room? I have stuff to be doing."

"Yeah, mom." Darguni sighed and pushed past Bradly. 

"Sooo what's this about wanting my girlfriend to suck your dick?" Bradly crossed his arms. 

"Well you didn't mind the other night." He snorted. "Look, it's just... ugh I don't want HER, just want her mouth for a few minutes." He hunched his shoulders. "That was the best blowjob I've ever gotten, and it's making me feel completely weird." 

"Shit, seriously? How many chicks have you banged?"

"I think I'm going to start writing them down like mom does." He snorted. 

"I need to get in on this." Bradly blinked. 

"Damned if you don't." 

"It's kind of unfair, that after everything that's happened, you get the blowjob out of Lydia, and I get my first from Bryan." He flopped on his bed. 

"Where are the pair of them?"

"Bryan went home; lord only knows where Lydia is. We were cuddling by portal lake, when she just jumps and runs. We weren't even talking..." 

"Maybe she wanted you to talk." 

Bradly coughed. "Wouldn't have been space to do so..."

Darguni snorted. "Oh, really?"

He licked his lips. "I love how her mouth tastes..."

"Did you know there is blood on your pants leg?"

"What?" Bradly sat up. "Aw, damn, I bet she got her period."

"Lovely timing, that." 

"Ugh!"

"Elunara?" Lydia stuck her head in the door.

"Yeah, shug?"

"Can you get blood out of my skirt?"

"Start early?"

"Yeah."

"Come on, let me show you where I keep my stuff."

"Gee, I remember periods." Susan grumbled. "I remember sex, too."

Elunara giggled. "You were the one who wanted me to keep you intact."

"After this is over, I will seriously debate letting you cut me open."

"And she's not having half the problems I had with mine." Elunara snorted. "So, you're telling me you'd do this again?"

"Possibly." Susan whimpered. "I haven't decided how insane I am, yet."

"Oh, when you watch Grogek cuddle a newborn, your brain will shot circuit and you'll want another." 

"I thought you never wanted children."

"No, but there was this brief moment... when Grogek held Darguni for the first time..." She held her arms in the same way. "that I considered it." She dropped her arms. "It was Lorros' fault that I ripped myself open." 

"I never knew that." Grogek whispered. 

Elunara shivered as she froze in place. Closing her eyes, she took a deep breath, before turning around. "It's true. I never said anything, because there were already too many things going on. When Darguni was a baby, I thought that I'd lost my marbles. After Lorros, it was just too horrifying to consider." 

He wrapped his arms around her. "My beautiful she wolf." 

She snuggled into his embrace. "It is what it is. Now Susan will give you another, and our family will grow again." 

"If I could wallow off this bed, I'd hug you too." 

Elunara laughed and climbed in bed, wrapping her arms around Susan. "Ours." 

"Two months to go." Susan rubbed her belly. "I was never this big at nine with Tina." 

"Well, you did fuck the biggest thing in existence." She winked at Grogek.

He climbed in bed and tugged both women into his lap. "My wives." 

Tulani came in. "Do you need more dresses?"

"Huh?" Susan looked up. 

"You have a rip in your dress." 

Susan frowned. "Damn it, I liked this one." 

Tulani sat down at her desk. "I'll measure you tomorrow; get you a few with extra room."

"Thank you, Elunara. I'm going to bed now." Lydia bowed. 

"Good night, Lydia." 

"I want sex so badly right now." Susan pouted.

"I'm sorry, sweetie." Elunara ran her hands over Susan's belly. "Do you really want to risk labor right now?"

"No." 

"When you are healed..." Grogek cuddled her. "We'll make up for lost time."

"I'd hate to have her the natural way." 

"Don't worry, I'll be there, and I'll make it nice and clean." Elunara ran her fingers through Susan's hair. "I dare not risk you." 

The next day, Bradly sat on Lydia's bed and rubbed her side. "How are you feeling, Sweetheart?" 

"I feel like hell. Go... hang out with Bryan today."

"Are you sure?" He twirled a lock of her hair in his fingers. "If you need me to stay..."

"Go." She growled. "Or I'll rip your damned head off."

He jumped up. "Ok, I'm going. I'm going." He jogged down the stairs. 

"You have the look of a man who just discovered that Lydia is cranky on her period." 

"Thanks, mother." He snorted. "That would have been nice to know." With a sigh, he rubbed the back of his head. "You think that's why she's been so crazy lately?"

"Well, duh. But you don't just out and SAY it." Elunara snorted. 

"Fun. Well, I'm going to go find Bryan."

"Enjoying that little experimentation?" She grinned. 

"Yeah... it's weird alright. But I kind of like it. Are you going to be home today?"

"Nah, I'm going to do my house wide medical checks, and then I have some deliveries in Ironforge I've been meaning to get to. I'm going to get Susan's waddling butt to the training yard."

"I HEARD THAT!" 

Elunara giggled. "Anyway, house is free. I recommend the signs." She winked. 

Bryan sat in the amphitheater adding more detail to his work. He was quite proud of his latest batch of sketches. It was his fondest wish to just sit and draw Bradly for the day. For the moment, he was content to work from memory. Maybe later today, he'd convince Bradly to an art sitting.

"Oh, look, it's the little faglet."

Bryan closed his eyes and sighed. "Really? You're still on this?"

Thomas, formerly Tommy, yanked the pages out of Bryan's lap. He peered down at the drawings. "Figures, the faglet has gone fag, just like his daddies." He ripped the pages while his friends laughed. 

"No! You asshole!" Bryan shoved Thomas. "Those were mine!"

"Like I fucking care." He continued to rip the papers. 

Bryan tried to punch Thomas, but he harmlessly blocked it. 

"Stupid little faglet, shouldn't have dropped out of training." Thomas punched Bryan in the face, knocking him down. With a swift kick to Bryan's stomach, Thomas began to laugh. 

Soon the other men joined in. 

"STOP THAT RIGHT NOW!" 

"Fuck, it's him." One of the men ran. 

"Oh, look, it's piss pot Bradly." Thomas sneered. The other men turned and took a stance. "Can't take us all on!" He called.

"Five against one? Please..." Bradly dove in. By time he was done, only Thomas remained behind. "You leave him the fuck alone, you shithead." 

"Feel good to defend the weak?" Thomas wiped his nose. "No one cares about one little faglet." 

Bradly grabbed Thomas by the throat and squeezed. "You leave him the fuck alone, you worthless piece of shit, or by the goddess, I'll rip out your intestines and force feed them up your ass." He flung Thomas to the side and promptly ignored him. He turned to Bryan and stooped down. "Sweetie, are you ok?"

Bryan whimpered and clung to the pieces of paper. "It hurts."

"Come on; let's get you to the healer. Momma's gone on a delivery. Ina will fix you." 

"I'm sorry."

"Why are you apologizing to me?"

"Because I'm not stronger... if I hadn't quit..."

"No. No, don't do that." Bradly wiped Bryan's hair out of his face. "You are who you are." He helped scoop up the tattered paper, before hauling Bryan to his feet. "I think you're just fine the way you are." He kissed Bryan's temple. "Let's get you healed up." 

Thomas coughed and narrowed his eyes. Now wasn't that special?



For The Whored: The Future: Ch. 07



Susan sat on the edge of the platform and sighed. "Grogek... I know you'd be out there yelling at someone by now."

"I'm just observing today." He stood beside her, his arms crossed. 

"Yeah, sure." She snorted. "Almost ten years we've been married. I've learned you by now." 

"Elunara went into labor on a day like this. About the same time frame. I risk nothing." He sighed. "I wish she didn't leave for Ironforge, but I understand not dropping your life for another two months." 

"Oh, I'm fine. Just large." She rubbed her hand on her belly. "In fact, I think she's sleeping." 

He put his hand on her belly with a laugh. "That's rare." 

"She is an active one." Susan laughed. "It's a relief for her to finally be quiet." She jolted. "Damn, I spoke too soon."

"Are you alright?"

"She just kicked me." 

Grogek put a cheek to her belly. "Hey, you... Behave." He jolted back and rubbed his face. "We have another troublemaker in the works." 

Susan rubbed her belly. "Now, now. It's bad enough you kick me, there's no need to kick your daddy too." She jolted. "Ow."

"Feisty little bugger." Grogek laughed. 

"Wrong ow." Susan whimpered.

He was instantly on alert. "No."

"Yes." She doubled over.

"No! NO! Elunara isn't here!" 

"Grogek..." Susan grabbed out, tears in her eyes, vision blurring. "Help me."

"SOMEONE FIND ELUNARA!" He roared. "GET TO IRONFORGE NOW!" He scooped Susan into his arms and bolted for the healer building. "INA!" 

"Ina is... Oh, Grogek. Oh, no... no. Tell me..."

"Tia!"

"Alright, alright. I can't do what she does, but I'll try." Tia gestured to a room.

"How do you know that Elunara isn't here?" He laid Susan gently on the table. 

"Because Bradly brought Bryan in." 

"Where is he?"

"This room." Tia gestured. 

Grogek opened the door. "What the hell happened to Bryan?" He shook his head. "It's not important right now. Bradly, Susan's gone into labor. You're the fastest there is." 

"She left Argy, I'll take him." He bolted out of the room. 

Ina shook her head. "I'll finish healing you later, I need to help Susan." 

Bradly held up his hands. "ARGY! I KNOW YOU UNDERSTAND ME! I NEED YOU TO TAKE ME TO ELUNARA!"

Argy dropped down and shook his head back and forth. 

"I don't have TIME for the gear!" Bradly leapt on Argy's back. "Take me!"

Grogek clung desperately to Susan's hand. "I'm here, my love. We'll find her. Don't you worry." 

With a groan, she woke up. Looking around, Elunara scanned her memory. She had gotten on the tram back. Her arms were tied up behind her head and she sat on the floor. Scanning the area around her, she frowned. The Brawler's Pub. Why the hell was she here?

"Ah, you're finally awake."

She spotted the ugly little dwarf. "Howdy, Jameson. It's been awhile."

He struck her in the face. "Twenty fucking years."

"Twenty four." 

He hit her again. "Whatever."

His strikes might as well have been butterfly wings, but she was a professional, and she would act it out until she got what she wanted. "Guess you're still pissed about the three and a half inches comment."

He struck her several times. "You listen here, bitch. I run this show now, and you'll fucking do as I say!"

"Is this just a revenge plot, or are you actually after something?" When he started hitting her again, she pressed her teeth down against the inside of her lip. When he finally landed a decent blow, she bit the top layer off and spit blood. 

Pleased with this, he snarled. "I need you out of the way. I don't know how you've managed to do it, but you've wrapped the faction leaders around your little finger. My plans have been in the works for entirely too long." He took out a small packet and tapped it in his hand. 

"What do you plan on doing about me?"

"Slitting your throat of course. That IS your preferred method of execution, isn't it?" He laughed and laid the packet on the table. "With you out of the way, everything can proceed according to plan. I've been tracking you for months. I thought I'd lost your trail when you took those beasts of yours, but when you dismissed them? Hah! Stupid move. The tram is pathetically easy to maneuver around."

"So what's with your silly little package? The one on the table, not your pants."

"Cocky BITCH!" He hit her several times. When she lolled her head around, he sneered. "That's for me to know, and you to never find out." Pulling out a dagger, her leered at her. "Perhaps, before I slit your throat, I'll destroy that worthless pussy you're so fond of flinging around." 

She grabbed him by the throat. "Yeah, not happening."

"H-how?"

"Sugarlips, I've been free for the last twenty minutes." She slit his throat and dropped him down. Pocketing the packet, she whistled to herself as she made her way out of the pub. 

Coming out of the tram, she stretched.

"BABY! Where have you BEEN?"

"What's the matter, Sugar?"

"Susan went into labor TWO HOURS ago!"

"SHIT!" Elunara took off running. 

"Elunara!" Grogek gasped. "Where have you BEEN?"

"I got kidnapped."

"That's not funny."

"I wasn't joking." She pushed him out of her way and laid her hands on Susan. "Sweetie, I'm so, so sorry." She channeled her energy into the woman.

"Oh, thank the gods." She whimpered. 

"If I had any idea, I would have killed the rat bastard sooner." 

"What?"

"Sorry, little love, you're going night night." She thumped Susan on the forehead. Summoning her dagger, she made the cuts. 

"Seriously, WHAT?" Grogek blinked.

"Right, back pocket."

He looked over and tugged out a packet. "The hell is this?"

"No idea. Lunatic had me tied in the Brawler's Pub, bragging about whatever the hell that is." 

Bradly clung to the beast for dear life. He sincerely wished he'd taken the flight path, but this way was quicker. Without warning, the beast turned and shot off in the wrong direction. "ARGY! DAMMIT!"

It refused to follow his direction and made its way instead, to one of the side zones. He recognized searing gorge. "This is NOT the time to fill your belly!" He was surprised when Argy landed beside SaTa. They chirped back and forth, before Bradly was launched back into the air. Argy turned and headed to Stormwind. "Shit, did she tram?" Argy just chirped a response. "I wish I could understand you like mom does." He sighed. "Well, get me back quickly, all of your bouncing is going to make me throw the fuck up." 

"Man, she's a hefty little bugger." Elunara transferred the baby to Grogek's arms. "Ina, help me. You're better at this part.

"My little girl." He whispered. 

Darguni stuck his head in the door. "They said Susan went into labor."

"Here." Grogek jerked his head. 

"Oh, man, look at her." Darguni ran his finger over her mouth. "Dad! She has a fang, just like mine!" He rubbed his own fang.

"That she does. Opposite side, too." He grinned. 

Bradly ran in. "Did mom show up?"

"I'm about to wake Susan." Elunara glanced back. She ran her fingers over Susan's head. "Wake up, Sweetie. Our husband has a baby to give you."

Susan groaned and put a hand to her forehead. "Is it over?"

"Look at our little girl." Grogek laid the baby in Susan's lap. "Now both of my wives have given me beautiful children." He grinned and kissed Susan's forehead. 

"Holy crap, she has a fang!" Susan gasped.

"Just like mine!" Darguni grinned. 

"So, what's her name?" Elunara stroked Susan's hair while pouring energy into her. 

"I..." Susan bit her lip. "I don't know." 

"I named Darguni as a combination of Darnassus, Grogek and Tulani."

When the baby began to cry, Susan automatically shifted her to feed. "Tilly." She laughed. "I was thinking tiger lily, but it seemed odd. I want Tilly."

Grogek rubbed his cheek on her head. "It's a beautiful name."

"Uh, I hate to be rude..." Bradly shifted and bit his lip. "But, can I borrow you, momma?"

"Yeah, sure, what's up?"

He sighed. "Some of the soldiers beat the crap out of Bryan... and he needs healed."

Everyone shifted to look over. "Which soldiers?" Grogek growled. 

"I'll get you their names later." He raked his fingers through his hair. "I don't want to take away from Susan..."

"She'll be fine without me for a few minutes." Elunara followed Bradly out. "Oh, man... Bryan, what did they DO to you?"

Bryan sighed. "Ina already cleaned all of it out."

She sat and began to channel her energy into his body. "Who did this?"

"Thomas." Bradly growled. "Cheryl's little shit." 

"I hate those fucking assholes." Elunara sighed. "Something will have to be done." 

Bryan sniffled. "You... shouldn't be with me." 

"Don't say that." Bradly brushed Bryan's hair out of the way. 

"But..." He hiccupped. "I'll ruin your reputation."

"The hell does that mean? Like my mother, I make my own damned reputation."

"I just... I don't want anything to happen because of me." 

Bradly wrapped his arms around Bryan. "Don't do this to yourself, sweetie. They're not worth it. I don't care if everyone knows. Hell, you've seen my crazy ass family, did that ruin their reputations?"

"Well..."

"Wouldn't care if it did." Elunara snorted. 

Bradly kissed the top of Bryan's head. "Let's just get you healed, and we'll get you some more paper."

Bryan sniffled. "Thank you."

"Paper?"

"Thomas destroyed Bryan's work."

"Take some of mine and a spare board." She waved a hand. "Lord knows I have plenty."

"Thanks, momma." 

"I have to get back to Susan."

Bradly took Bryan's hand. "Come on, let's go."

"Your mother's library is always so impressive." Bryan looked around the room. 

"You should read mom's work. It's... fascinating." Bradly found the board and began to fill it with paper. "She shouldn't mind if I gave you a couple of new pencils while I'm at it. I saw they broke yours." 

"Thank you." Bryan blushed. "You're so sweet." 

Bradly brushed his lips across Bryan's. "You're mine now. I take care of what's mine." He whispered. 

"Oh!" He gasped. He laid his head on Bradly's shoulder. "Can I draw you?" He whispered. 

"Of course. Come on." Bradly led the way back to his room. "How do you want me?"

Bryan went scarlet. "That's a loaded question."

"Isn't it just?" Bradly gave him a wicked grin. 

Bryan stumbled over his feet and fell into Bradly. "Oh, I'm so sorry." 

"I never realized how adorable you are." Bradly murmured. 

Bryan's breathing quickened as he pressed his mouth against Bradly's. Their fingers crushed into each other's hair, as their mouths and tongues danced together. Bryan's hands went up Bradly's shirt and dug his fingers into hardened flesh. 

Bradly yanked his own shirt off, before kneeling. "How about I return the favor?"

"Oh!"

Pulling Bryan's pants off, Bradly ran his hand over Bryan's dick and grinned. "Not something I thought I'd find myself doing..." He slipped his mouth over the tip. 

Bryan gasped, and grabbed wildly at Bradly's hair. 

He lost himself in the enjoyment of what he was doing, even while his mind told him that wasn't the plan. The taste of his partner drove him harder and faster. When Bryan let go, he tasted the result with some interest. "Suddenly, I wish I had my mother's analytical mind." He wiped his mouth. "Perhaps I'll look at her notes."

Bryan blinked at him. "I rather think you do have her analytical mind. I've seen how you judge a situation."

"Perhaps." Bradly stood up and considered. "Where do you want me?"

Dully, Bryan blinked at him. "What?"

"You wanted to draw me?"

"OH!" Bryan flushed. "You switch topics too fast."

"Sorry, love. Where?"

"You... said love." Bryan whispered.

"Hm. So I did." He shrugged. "Then it must be true. Where?"

Bryan threw his arms around Bradly. "Oh, Gods. I never thought..."

"Aw, sweetie, don't cry..."

"I never thought I'd find someone to love me." 

Bradly wiped Bryan's cheeks. "Please don't cry, love. It's ok." 

Meanwhile, "Ugh, I forgot how much they eat in the first few weeks." Susan grumbled. "That fang isn't helping matters." 

Tulani giggled. "I know what you mean. Darguni was just awful." 

"Sorry, Momma Tuly..."

"Not like you could help it..." Tulani rubbed her hand on Darguni's head. 

He sat in the floor, just watching. "I know I have stuff I should be doing, but..."

"Just like your daddy." Elunara grinned. 

"Whaat?" Grogek grinned. He stood behind the couch, his hand on the baby. 

"I hate how often you're right." Susan snorted.

"I get that a lot." Elunara laughed. "What now?"

"Seeing Grogek with his baby is making me want an army of the buggers." 

Grogek kissed the side of her head. "We'll get to working on that as soon as you're healed." He winked. 

Susan flushed. "Well, don't expect too much, it took ten years for Tilly to appear."

"Guess I'll just have to work harder." He raked his teeth across her neck.

"Oh, that's just not fair." Susan whimpered. 

"I just want to..." Bradly stopped and blinked. "Oh, you're home."

Everyone looked back at him.

He blushed. "I just wanted some water." In nothing but his pants, he scooted to the kitchen. 

Elunara sniffed. "I know what you've been doing." She drank her own cup. 

Bradly had turned several interesting shades of red. "Mother..." 

"Long as you enjoy yourself." She shrugged. 

"Bradly, I..." Bryan yelped and ducked back in the room. 

Bradly snagged his two cups of water and scooted back to the room, slamming the door behind him. 

"Well, that was adorable." Susan giggled. 

The door opened and Elunara narrowed her eyes. "Where have you two been?"

Lulu yelped and hid behind Tina. "Darnassus..." Tina admitted.

"Without asking?"

Tina winced. 

"It was her idea!" Lulu pointed. 

"I just wanted to see Granma." Tina shoved Lulu. 

"You know Lulu's not allowed to leave without permission, and YOU missy, aren't old enough to be her keeper yet." Elunara crossed her arms. 

"Sorry, Momma." Tina winced again. "We came back as soon as we got the news."

"I'll deal with the both of you later, come meet your new sister." 

That night, Susan lay in bed and chuckled. "You know they're basically inseparable." 

"Yes, but they need to keep each other on the same path." Elunara sighed and rubbed Susan's back. "You're healing well, my lovely." 

"I'm feeling better too." She looked over. "Tulani, what are you doing?"

"Taking inventory of your clothes. The nicer dresses we can salvage and some of the others can be recycled."

Elunara rolled her eyes. "You and your clothing obsession." 

Susan giggled. "I quite enjoy it."

"Of course you do." Elunara snorted. "You're one of those."

"One of those, what?" Grogek came in, drying himself off.

"Girls who love pretty dresses."

"Lu, MOST women love pretty dresses." Tulani snorted. "If anything, WE can call YOU "one of those"."

Elunara stuck out her tongue. Tulani bent down and captured the tongue, then pressed into the kiss. 

Grogek watched them for a moment with a grin. "Speaking of which..."

"Sorry, Sugarbear, you can't stick your dick in her just yet." Elunara reached back and slicked her fingers through Susan's wet folds. "Nothing against enjoying a tasty treat however..."

Susan gasped. "Oh, Elunara, you're awful."

Grogek licked his lips. "I'm certainly up for that."

"Hey, how about an eating competition?" Elunara grinned. 

He ran his tongue over his fangs. "I might have the edge on that one."

"Pfft, you wish." Elunara tugged Tulani into the bed. 

Tulani gave a wild giggle. "I agree with Susan, you're quite awful." 

"Complaining?"

"Not a bit."

"Good." Elunara yanked off Tulani's dress.

"Hey." Grogek smacked Elunara's hip. "Get off, no fair if you start early."

"Fine, fine." Elunara slid off of Susan's back. 

"Do I get to watch?" Jordan leaned against the door. 

"Of course." 

When Susan and Tulani were both leaned back against the wall, with Grogek and Elunara between their legs, the pair grinned at each other.

"Go!" Jordan called.



For The Whored: The Future: Ch. 08



Bryan opened the door and blinked. "Hey, Dad... and Dad. Come in." He stepped back. "I wasn't expecting you two."

"We just came by to see how you're doing." Jerry looked around. 

"Pretty good." Bryan tucked paper into the board. 

"Is that one of Elunara's boards?" Louis blinked. 

"Yeah, Bradly gave it to me. Isn't it amazing?" Bryan hugged it to his chest. 

"So, it's working out?" Louis clasped his hands together.

"VERY well." Bryan giggled. 

"Son, what the hell happened to your eye?" Jerry frowned. 

Bryan's hand shook as he touched the side of his face. "It's... It's fine." He swallowed. "Bradly..." He shook his head. "It's nothing. Elunara says it might take a day or so to fade properly."

"Bryan..." Jerry balled his fist. 

Louis put a hand on Jerry's arm. "Are you certain...? You can talk to us."

"Yeah." He shook his head. "It's fine. Believe me." He licked his lips. "If you don't mind, I'm going to go to the training yard. Maybe I can get Elunara to give me some lessons." 

Bradly sighed. Grogek was supposed to be the one people bled on. He wasn't particularly squeamish, but it was a bit out of his bounds to deal with. Once his shirt was dealt with, he went for the training yard. 

"Bradly!"

He stopped and looked back. "General Jerry."

"Explain yourself." He had his fist balled to his sides. 

"Ok, I need context and players..."

Jerry grabbed the front of Bradly's shirt. "WHY does my SON have a black EYE?"

"He didn't tell you?"

"No." Jerry growled. 

"Thomas and his little band of thugs beat the shit out of him."

Jerry blinked. "What?"

"Yeah. They were calling him "faglet" and almost broke his jaw." Bradly growled. "I beat the shit out of the little fuckers and took him to be healed." 

Jerry let go of Bradly. "Shit. I'm sorry. The way he..."

"Oh, Bryan." Bradly sighed and ran his hand through his hair. "I can understand your anger, sir. I handled it. I intend to make sure they don't do it again. Bryan is mine damn it, and I will protect what is mine." 

Jerry blinked for a moment, before laughing. "You sound just like your mother."

"I take that as high praise." Bradly gave a quick smile. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to ream a trainee for bleeding on me."

Jerry snorted. "Now you sound like Grogek."

"Also high praise." Bradly winked. 

Susan sat on the platform, enjoying the sun. "It feels good to be freed from the prison of pregnancy." She laughed. "Though it'll take forever for my body to return to shape after that." She put her hand on the sleeping infant.

"With my treatments, you'll be back quicker than humanly possible." Elunara ran a hand down Susan's back.

Susan laid her head on Elunara's shoulder. "I love you."

"I love you too, Sweetie." She kissed the top of Susan's head. 

"Can I join you?"

Elunara smiled. "Of course, Bryan." 

Bryan looked around. "Where's Bradly?"

"Had to go change." 

"I see Lydia is training today."

"Yeah, and she's training angry too." Elunara shook her head. 

"Angry over what?"

Susan giggled. 

"Angry at her body." Elunara grinned. "Shh, you didn't hear it from me."

"Ah." Bryan blushed. "Can... I watch you work?"

"Of course." 

"Your work is always so amazing." He fiddled with his pencil. "I wish I could be as good as you."

"All you can do is practice. I've been doing this for almost sixty years. It's all I ever do. Of course I can draw like this." She reached over and brushed Bryan's hair back. "Just keep at it." 

"I love your son!" Bryan blurted.

Elunara chuckled. "I know, sweetie. I know. I'm perfectly ok with that."

Bryan put his hands to his face. "Gods, I can't control my mouth some times."

"We call that, pulling a Zelinnia."

Elunara looked up. "Hello, sugarbutt."

"Came to see the baby." 

"And not me? I'm sad."

"That was just my added bonus." She sat down and held out her hands. "May I?"

Susan smiled and passed the baby over. 

"You know, occasionally I wish I hadn't been broken."

"Zel..." Elunara sighed.

"No! No, don't. I'm glad. I truly am. I like babies. I just wish I hadn't had mine so crammed."

"I should tell you... Lulu has been eyeing Nara." 

"Oh, really?" Zelinnia grinned. 

"I thought that'd cheer you." Elunara winked. 

"I always hoped Darguni and Abigail would hit it off..." She sighed. 

"Not at this age." Elunara snorted. "Though, I have caught Abigail sneaking peeks at Darguni." She shook her head. "The age gap is too wide, and Darguni is too... me."

"You mean a horndog." Zelinnia snorted.

"Stickin' it in any chick that gives him a wink." Elunara snorted. 

"Yep, your son." Zelinnia giggled. 

"How's Renwa?" Elunara rubbed her hand on Zelinnia's hip.

"Having heart attacks about having a pair of teenagers."

"That's normal." She giggled. "Want a schedule?"

"I might. You relax him."

"I relax the both of you." Elunara snorted. 

Zelinnia licked her lips. "What about next Thursday?"

"I've got a seven."

"I'll take it." Zelinnia finally noticed Bryan. "Did you find you a new protégé?"

"This is Bradly's boyfriend."

Zelinnia choked. "WHAT? What happened to Lydia?"

"Um, he's dating both of us." Bryan blushed.

"Wait, I thought Darguni was the blood child, when did you give birth to Bradly?"

Elunara cackled. "Well, he IS my child." 

Zelinnia passed Tilly back to Susan. "I need... my husband." 

"I'm sorry." Bryan blushed. 

"Oh... it's not you." Zelinnia laughed. "Bradly has broken my brain... also like his MOTHER." She glared. 

"Oh, I'll break you alright." Elunara winked.

Zelinnia flushed. "I'm going to go fuck my husband now."

Elunara counted.

"GAH!" She took off running.

Elunara giggled. "Twenty years she's been doing that." 

"You and Zelinnia seem odd together." Bryan whispered.

"I love her. That's all that matters." Elunara smiled. 

Bryan grinned back. "I agree with that."

"Bryan!" 

Bryan jumped back. "Don't scare me like that!" 

Bradly shook his head. "Why did you lead your dad to believe that I'm the one who did that to your freaking eye?"

"I...!" Bryan winced. "He did?"

"Uh, yeah. He almost killed me over it."

"I'm so sorry, I had no idea he'd take it like that."

"Sugar, you've got to be careful about that." Bradly sighed and laid his arms on the platform. "I'd never hurt you." He snorted. "At least not on purpose."

Bryan grinned. "I know." 

"I've got to get back to practice." Bradly smacked his hand on the platform. 

Elunara watched him walk away. "Gods, he called you Sugar. He IS my son." She cackled. 

Susan shook her head. "Now THAT is creepy."

"Hey, Dad!"

Jordan looked back. "Yeah, what?"

"Want to duel?" Bradly grinned.

"You mean you want me to beat your ass." 

"Pfft, as if."

The ring cleared out and both stood on either end. "GO!" Elunara yelled.

Bryan put a hand to his mouth. "Oh, Gods. I may faint."

Elunara snorted. "Fainting is not the task on your mind."

Bryan turned brilliant red and ducked his head. 

Lydia flopped down. "Gods! That's a sight."

"He looking more attractive now that you see him as a mate, and not a brother?" Elunara grinned.

Lydia flushed. "Yeah. Why did I not notice it before?" She licked her lips. 

"Watching you two lust after my son is something else." Elunara shook her head and returned to her work. 

"Can I have a copy of that?" Bryan eyed Elunara's board. 

"Give it up, Bradly! You need more work!" Jordan called.

"At this point, I'm just working off some angry." He wiped his mouth.

"Angry? Over what?"

"I'll explain later." Bradly launched again. 

Jordan cracked Bradly down, pinning him under his blade. "Call it, son."

"BAH! You win." 

Jordan laughed and held out his hand. "Good job, though." 

Bradly took the hand. "Thanks, Dad." 

Jordan pat Bradly on the shoulder. "Tell me what's bugging you."

"Did you know your son was a big fucking faggot?"

The entire yard turned to see Thomas standing at one end. "Then again, the way I hear it, it's just another like father like son." He spat on the ground. 

"THAT would be what's bugging me." Bradly growled. "I'm goddamned sick of your mouth, Thomas."

"I don't even WANT to know what YOUR mouth has been doing lately." He sneered.

"YOU LEAVE HIM ALONE!" Lydia jumped down off of the platform and went to Bradly's side. "You stay out of things you know nothing about!"

"Lydia..." Bradly sighed. "While I love that you're trying to defend me right now, it's not exactly helping."

"Does your SISTER know you're fucking Bryan?"

"I'm not his sister; I'm his girlfriend, you asshole!" 

Elunara smacked her face. "Gods, Lydia, you're just making an idiot of yourself." She muttered. 

"Should we help them?" Susan frowned. 

"This is their fight, but I'm about to..."

Thomas snorted. "Bull fucking shit. The whole goddamned city knows that he's been chasing that tail his whole worthless life. No one is about to buy that bullshit now. You can't cover your brother's ass. It's already been filled."

"ENOUGH!" Bradly waved his hands. "Listen you asshole," Bradly jabbed his finger at Thomas. "Lydia IS my girlfriend, AND Bryan is my boyfriend. Guess I'm just like my mother." 

"You fucking shame this city."

"No he does not." Jordan crossed his arms. "YOU shame this city."

"Like I give a damn what YOU think."

"I happen to agree with them." Everyone looked up in shock. 

Varian frowned. "I heard Lydia's screaming from the Keep and I came to investigate. I find it rather impressive that Bradly would declare such an interesting choice in relationships. Yes, he IS just like his mother." He grinned down at her. "Why would it be the accepted norm for her family to be as it is, and have none of her family held to the same standards?" He shook his head. "I am appalled by your behavior, and if you are in the guard, I want you removed immediately."

"You..."

Elunara stood up. "Many years ago, your mother came to me, calling my husband gay, and claiming I stole my baby Lulu from someone I murdered. I strangled her for her foul words, and yet it was Jordan who saved her from my wrath. Would you care to take bets on who might save YOUR ass from my wrath?" She flexed her hand and held her dagger. "Five gold says it won't be Bradly." 

Thomas turned and ran. 

Elunara dismissed her dagger. "I want that family removed from Stormwind." She snorted.

"Your wish is my command." Varian tilted his head and smiled at her. "My queen."

"Oh, I need to meet with you later."

"Oh?"

She shook her head. "I'll explain then." 

"Hell with it." Bradly grabbed Lydia and crushed his mouth to hers. She blinked a moment before dancing her mouth to his with a little growl. She clung to him like the desperate. 

At the whistling in the crowd, she turned red and shoved at him. "Bradly!" She put her hands to her face. 

"Mine." He grinned. She scrambled over to the platform, and he followed her. Reaching up, he tugged Bryan down and repeated the process. "Also mine." 

Jordan shook his head and ran his fingers though his hair. "My son! Everybody." He gestured. "Who is apparently a carbon copy of his mother!"

There were a few whistles and cheers, but mostly laughter.

Bradly sat on the edge of the platform. "Coming up, Lydia?"

Lydia scooted up on to the platform.

"Getting crowded up here." Elunara laughed. 

Varian brushed his lips against hers. "I have to head back to my work."

"Of course, Sugarlove." She ran her fingers under his chin. "I'll be by later." 

Bradly slipped his arms behind both Lydia and Bryan. "I love how open you two are now." He looked up at his mother and Varian.

"Honesty is the best policy." Elunara grinned.

"Besides, I get to do this..." Varian slipped his hands across Elunara's hips and captured her mouth for his own.

"I leave you alone for five minutes." Grogek snorted. 

"Hey, Sugarbear." Elunara grinned. 

"Ah, well." Varian laughed. "She's mine tonight." He winked, before turning and walking away.

"I see Bradly is working on his harem." Grogek snorted.

"You know it." Bradly grinned. 

"Where's my little girl?"

"Looking for her daddy." Susan passed the baby over. 

He cuddled Tilly. "There's my baby girl."

"Gods, you're so damned cute." Jordan snorted. 

"How long have you been waiting on that gem?" Grogek snorted. 

"Forever." He looked over at Darguni. "Where the hell have you been?"

Darguni flushed. "Uh, busy?"

"Get over here."

"Momma!" Darguni went darker. 

"I don't have to smell him; I know what he's been doing. How many?"

"Four..."

"At once?"

"No."

"Pfft, boring." Elunara waved her hand and went back to work. 

Grogek snorted. "Your mother never let her habit get in the way of work."

"I made it work." She snorted.

"Well, I've been trying to get this one for awhile, and then her sister got involved... and I'm not helping my case at all." He sighed. 

Grogek gently returned the infant to Susan. He whacked Darguni on the back of the head. "I think we need to work some of that energy out of you."

"Ah, maaaan."

"CLEAR THE RING!"

"Fuuuuck." Darguni summoned his axe. "This is not my day."

Bradly snorted. "His dick gets him in so much trouble."

Lydia turned scarlet and fidgeted. "I... I don't feel well." She jumped and ran. 

Elunara sighed. "That girl..." 

"What was that?" Bradly frowned. 

"She's still stuck on that little orgy you lunatics had the other night."

Bradly blushed. "Oh. I guess she told you."

Bryan had frozen solid. 

"Gods, why don't you idiots actually TALK to each other? Stop being awkward about it. Did I not raise you to have complete honesty?"

"Yes, Momma."

"We don't filter in our house. I don't expect you to start doing it in your relationships." 

"Yes, Momma."

"Go talk to the girl."

Bradly kissed Bryan's temple. "Sorry, sweets, I have to deal with this."

"T-that's ok." Bryan blushed. "I was watching your momma work." 

"Good idea." He jumped off the platform and ran.

Elunara laughed. "He's still trying to find your nickname; a common practice in our household."



For The Whored: The Future: Ch. 09



Bradly jogged up the stairs to Lydia's room. "Lydia? Sweetheart?"

"I'm an awful person." She groaned. 

"Talk to me, baby."

"I can't stop thinking about it."

Bradly sighed. "Darguni's dick?"

"The whole thing! The... you buried in me, while I'm sucking on him.... I just loved the hell out of it, and now I can't stop thinking about how much I want to do it again." She buried her face in her pillow. 

"Oh." He cleared his throat. "So, you liked it more than you think you should."

"Yes." She whimpered. 

"You do realize that's why my mother has so many... partners. She loves being filled as many ways as possible." He chuckled. "There's this entry, where for her 60th, my dads gave her six men at once." 

Lydia twitched. "I couldn't do that."

He shrugged. "Sweetheart, I'm not telling you to try. I'm just saying it could be more extreme. If you really like this..." He brushed her hair out of her face and tangled his fingers into it. "Then I'd rather try to get you what you want, than be upset by it."

She curled up in his lap. "I..." Her fingers went up and brushed against his chin. "I think I love you and I don't want to mess this up." 

The tears stung his eyes. "You have no idea how long I've waited for you to say that." He brushed his lips against hers and she pressed up against him. As his fingers tangled in her hair, their lips tangled together.

She groaned. "Why do I have to have my stupid period?"

He chuckled. "It's enough that you want to."

She slid out of his lap. "I have another idea." She tugged at his pants. 

Standing up, he shoved them to the floor. "Is this what you want?"

Wrapping her hand around his dick, she gasped. "Yes." She ran her hand up and down it, before she began to lick. 

He groaned and put his hand on her head. "Oh, Sweetheart." 

She slipped her mouth over the tip and lightly sucked. Enjoying the taste, she moved her mouth up and down. Her free hand came up and grabbed his leg, as she pumped her hand up and down his dick. She took him in little by little, until she could fit his entire dick in her mouth. Shifting her tongue, she increased her pace, taking him in, over and over.

Bradly's fingers dug into her hair and he groaned. "Sweetheart... I'm going to... it's about... " He struggled to stay standing as he filled her mouth. 

She jerked back and coughed. Wiping her mouth, she stared at her fingers. 

He collapsed back on to the bed. "Gods, that was amazing." He raked his fingers through his hair. 

She laid her forehead on his knee. "It's official, I like sucking dick." She groaned. 

Blinking at her, he laughed. "Why is that a bad thing?"

"I have no idea. I just feel like it's something I should be ashamed of."

He tugged her up into his lap. "Never be ashamed of what you enjoy. That's one of the rules of this house." 

She sighed. "but... what about..."

"Darguni? We'll figure that out." 

Darguni walked into his bedroom and blinked. "I figured you'd be upstairs with Lydia, the way you two ran off." 

"She's on her period, and she's cranky about it. I gave her a back rub until she passed out."

"Ah." Darguni stowed his gear. 

"You were right..."

"About?"

"Lydia gives the most amazing blow job. Granted, my only other one was from Bryan, but dear gods that woman gets into it."

Darguni groaned. "Don't tell me that shit." He scrubbed his hand through his hair. "The reason I didn't show up for training today, was because I got so FOCUSED on Lydia's mouth, that I was desperate to get off. Five chicks; and I still couldn't find it."

"You told mom four."

"I hit up another one on the way home." 

"Well, you'll be glad to hear, she wants another go."

Darguni yanked up his sleeping pants and stared. "Serious?"

"She... and I quote, "Loved the hell out of it."."

He yanked his hair. "Dude, she's YOURS man, I can't... I can't DO that!"

Bradly licked his lips and shrugged. "I'm ok with it." 

"Wha? But, what would that mean to...?"

"Our relationship? I don't know. It's all a little jumbled. But if this gets her off, this gets me off. If things go... odd, then they just do. I mean, look at our parents. One of the many rules of this house is to follow your heart and see what sticks. Mine says, "Make her happy". I'll try everything it takes, even if I'm not the one to do it. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, no matter what, you'll always be my brother." 

Darguni laughed. "Gods, what came to mind, were those little twits and their "bros before hoes" remark. Like, with our mother, that statement makes no fucking sense."

Bradly giggled. "Oh, GODS." He shook his head. "They'll never replace her as "The Whore"."

"Well, since she trains now, she still has her codename."

"Yeah, I know."

"Let's get some damned sleep."

"I'm so on that." Bradly snorted. 

"Gods, who knew you were built like this?" A week later, Lydia was sitting on Bradly, his still hard dick buried in her.

"I did, Sweetheart." He gave her a wicked grin. He ran his thumbs over her sensitive nipples. "Want another go?"

"I..."

The door opened and Darguni blinked. "Dude, seriously, we have a sign system for a reason."

Bradly winced. "Shit, sorry. I forgot." He rolled his eyes. "Not like I've been boinking everything that moves like you have." He stuck out his tongue. 

"Hey, at least I stick to chicks."

"Not like you could fit in anyone's ass." Bradly ran his hands over Lydia's hips.

"I'll find one... eventually..."

"I'm fairly certain the only person alive who can take a tree trunk like that is..."

"DON'T SAY IT!" 

Bradly mouthed the word "mom".

"GAH!" Darguni grabbed his head. "DON'T GIVE ME THAT IMAGE, YOU ASSHOLE!"

"I ain't letting you up my ass." 

Darguni flopped on the bed and yelled into his pillow.

Lydia just blinked back and forth. "Should... I go?"

"Nah."

"Oh, now you're going to make me watch. You ARE an asshole." Darguni grumbled. 

"What's wrong with him?"

"Oh, he's just stuck on that amazing blowjob you gave him the other day."

"I hate you." Was muffled.

Lydia blushed. "Was it really that good?"

"I hate you both."

Bradly winked. "He's been having trouble finding something to compare."

"You can just die now."

She turned several shades of red. "Well, I really liked doing it..."

Darguni jerked his head up and stared. 

She stared down at Bradly chest. "Oh, I'm so confused." She sighed. "I... I love Bradly." She stared at his face. "But the naughtier parts of me, wonder how Darguni compares." She put her hands to her face. "Oh, I'm awful."

Bradly licked his lips. "Want to take him for a ride?"

Lydia jolted. "What?"

"He's right there, he's probably halfway to hard any damned way..."

"I am hard." Darguni muttered. 

"Why not?"

"Because... isn't that cheating?"

Bradly rolled his eyes. "Have you MET my family? As long as all parties consent, it's not cheating."

"But..."

"Sweetheart, if you don't want to, you don't have to."

She blushed. "I really, really want to."

"And there we go."

"Don't have to ask me." Darguni yanked off his pants. 

Lydia licked her lips. "Is this going to hurt?"

"I won't let it, baby." Darguni held out his hands. "Give me your hips."

Bradly pushed Lydia off of him, and when she climbed in Darguni's bed, Bradly ran fingers through her slick folds. "I'll help get you wide enough."

"Gods, look how beautifully you drip." Darguni groaned, before sliding his fingers through as well. He pressed a finger up into her. "I want her." He panted. 

"That's what we're doing." Bradly groaned. He pushed Lydia down so that her folds slipped over the tip of Darguni's dick. "Here we go." He purred.

"I've got her." Darguni grabbed Lydia's hips and began to slide her down over him. "You're so fucking wet."

Lydia clung to Bradly at first, as she closed her eyes and groaned at how wide they were stretching her. She gasped as Darguni pressed her down completely against him. She ran her hands over his stomach with awe. "You're huge." She whispered.

"It gets better." He grabbed her hips and began to slide her up and down. 

Bradly licked his lips as he watched Lydia slide up and down on his brother's dick. "Why is this turning me on?" He growled. 

"Don't... fucking... care." Darguni groaned. "So tight." He almost whimpered with it. Not thinking, he tugged Lydia down and captured her mouth, his lips taunting hers until she gasped, and let him in. With one hand on her hip and the other in her hair, he bounced himself in and out of her dripping folds. When she clamped down on him, he had no choice but to explode inside of her. 

Darguni opened his eyes and blinked. He immediately let go of her. "Shit, we didn't discuss kissing. I am SO sorry!" 

Lydia licked her tender lips. "I liked it." She whispered.

Bradly laughed. "What the hell is wrong with me... that I enjoyed watching that?"

Darguni laughed. "We're our parent's kids. Have you READ the books? Our dads like to watch when the other fucks our mother. The endless arrangements that they figure out..." He shook his head. 

"Well, you've read them more than me." Bradly snorted. "I kind of skimmed the crazier stuff; I thought I was going to be a one woman man." He brushed his fingers through Lydia's hair. "I thought I had my one... now suddenly, there's Bryan, and this weird arrangement we're figuring out."

Darguni snorted. "My plan is still to stick my dick in any chick that's willing to give me a go. This... thing... changes nothing."

"I guess we're all little bit like her." Lydia whispered. She wiggled. "This is starting to get uncomfortable." 

"Sorry." Darguni grabbed her hips and slowly dislodged her. "Ah, shit, I'm hard again. You're obscenely tight." He snorted.

She wasn't really paying attention to him; she was staring at his dick. Before anyone could react, she leaned down and licked him. 

"Lydia!" He grabbed her shoulder.

"I'm sorry! I just see it, and I want it in my mouth. I don't even know why!" 

"Fine then, suck it, already!"

"But..."

Bradly laughed. "What part of "this is turning me on", don't you understand? Just suck the damned thing."

She licked the sticky mess off of Darguni's dick, before taking it in her mouth. Darguni fingers threaded through her hair as his hand cupped the side of her face. Going for his opportunity, Bradly buried himself into Lydia's dripping folds. 

Darguni watched her taking him in. "Baby, this is what I've been wanting all week. Gods, nobody has a mouth like yours." He groaned and laid his head back. "Baby, you might want to move, cause I'm about to explode in your mouth." 

She jerked her head back and watched in fascination as his dick twitched with the force of him. She wiped her face off and licked her fingers. It wasn't all bad, considering.

Bradly's fingers dug into her hips as he let go inside of her. 

"Ah! Finally!" Darguni growled. He scrubbed his hands over his face. "Why can I not get a decent blowjob from anyone but her?" He gestured as Lydia.

Lydia turned several shades of red. "I have to go!" He scrambled up the stairs.

"Ah, damn it." Bradly sighed. 

The following morning, Elunara came down the stairs and sighed. "Is this going to be a reoccurring theme with you? Laid out on my couch in despair?"

"I had sex with Darguni while Bradly watched." She muttered.

"Well, I'm impressed again." 

"I see Darguni's dick and my brain goes dead, and suddenly I'm sticking my mouth on the thing before I can think." 

"Sweetheart, if you're trying to complain, you're talking to the wrong person. In fact, I have three clients coming in today that are paying for their commissions by letting me suck them off. It's a compulsion." 

"Yah, but you're you... I'm... not."

"What does THAT mean?"

Lydia buried her face in her hands. "I don't KNOW exactly. Just that... you can get by with these things, and I can't."

"Why not?"

"Well, you're the Goddess of Sex, it's expected of you. I'm just a dumb little human."

"Sweetie, do you love Bradly?"

"Yes? At least I'm fairly certain I do."

"What prevents you from accepting it?"

"The fact that I want Darguni's dick in my mouth." She muttered.

"Do you love Darguni?"

"I could." She sighed. "If he saw me as more than a mouth." 

Elunara snorted. "Well, he saw you as a sister up until recently. Hell, I think he still does. He's getting more awkward by the minute." 

"What have I done?" She groaned. 

"You need to think. Just stop and think. Has either one of them given you any indication that what you have been doing is wrong?"

"No. They both keep telling me it's a turn on; that... watching gets them hard."

"Welcome to my husbands. They don't get jealous or upset, if we go solo, either one will disappear to their room, or they'll sit in a chair, flop their dick out and wait their turn. It just depends on our signals." She shrugged. "Secondary question, has either of them given you nicknames?"

"Bradly calls me "Sweetheart"." She blushed. 

"Not surprised, he's probably had that one in his heart for years."

"Darguni called me "Baby"." She whispered.

Elunara's eyebrows shot up. "Well, then." 

"Is that important?"

"Just once?"

"The... the whole time."

Elunara tapped a finger to her chin. "Knowing my son, that's pretty damned significant." 

"Oh, Gods." She buried her face again.

"Jordan calls me "Baby"..." She considered. "Well, I guess it's time we started work on training your ass."

Lydia jolted up. "WHAT?"

"You've got two men, honey. At some point, one of them is going to try and go there. Believe me, being banged by two men at once is amazing. I'll help train you right so that when the time comes, they'll slip on up there, rather than ripping you a new hole."

Lydia whimpered.

"Oh, please. You shrieked at the size of Darguni's dick. That worked out, didn't it?"

Lydia flushed. "Yes."

"Tomorrow, we'll get you started. For now, get out of my house."



For The Whored: The Future: Ch. 10



Grogek whacked Darguni on the back of the head. "Pay attention."

"Shit. Sorry." He sighed and tried to repeat the performance. 

"Get your head out of your pants, and do it RIGHT."

"I'm ON it!" He growled. 

"Decided to show up today?" Jordan snorted. 

"I just want to beat the hell of something, okay?" Lydia blushed. 

Darguni stumbled and missed the mark. 

Grogek grabbed him by his shoulder plate. "The fuck is wrong with you today?"

He threw his hands up. "Gods, I am NOT going to get this drill today, just beat my ass and be done with it."

Jordan and Grogek shared a look. "CLEAR THE YARD!"

Soldiers jumped out of the way and the ring was emptied. At the same time, Jordan grabbed Lydia and Grogek grabbed Darguni, and both tossed their charges into the ring. 

"There's your opponent!" 

They stared at each other in complete shock. "I can't!" They both said at once.

"Why?" Grogek crossed his arms.

"Good question." Jordan put his hands on his hips.

"Be... be... because she's a girl!" Darguni gestured. 

"He's above my skill level!" Lydia gestured.

"Your mother is the meanest bitch in the known universe, you can't pull that bullshit."

"That would be claiming Darguni is above Elunara's skill level. You fight her just fine."

Both of them flicked a glance at each other and blushed. 

Grogek and Jordan raised their eyebrows at each other. 

"Just kick his ass, Lydia." Bradly called. 

"This is YOUR fault!" Lydia yelled. 

"How is this MY fault?" Bradly threw his hands in the air. 

"It just IS!" She yanked her hair.

"CHILDREN!" Grogek bellowed. "You want a fight, you will fight each other!"

Lydia growled. "FINE!"

Darguni held his hands up. "Hey, wait."

"It's YOUR fault TOO!" She launched at him. 

"Oh, come ON!" He blocked the shot. "You're at fault too."

"I don't care!" She swung out and caught him in the shoulder. 

"If that's how you want to play it." He growled. He summoned his axe and kicked her backwards. 

Jordan leaned over to Grogek. "I have a feeling we should have a chat with Elunara later."

"I agree." 

Darguni hit Lydia hard enough to send her skidding through the dirt. She pushed herself up and rubbed her face. "Damn it." She muttered at the blood in her hand. 

"Baby, are you ok?" Darguni knelt.

Grogek and Jordan exchanged a different look. 

"I'm FINE!" She cracked him in the face with her staff. "Just leave me alone!" She jumped up and ran. 

One hand went to his face, the other reached out after her. Ignoring everything else, he took off.

"I'll be shit." Jordan snorted. "Darguni has a crush."

"More than that."

"Well, that's obvious, but how far will it go?"

"Perhaps Elunara has more information."

Bradly sighed.

"Um, shouldn't you go after her?" Bryan whispered. 

"It's not me she's angry with." 

Darguni found her at Portal Lake. "You know, you're kind of predictable."

She jolted and scooted back. "I shouldn't have hit you."

"Doesn't matter. Are you ok?"

"I'm fine." She held up her hand. "Well, I guess I should hit a healer."

He put his hand on her cheek. "Needs cleaned out."

Jolting again, she scooted out of his range. 

"Baby, we have to talk sometime." 

"Stop calling me that." She muttered. 

"Calling you what?" He blinked. 

"Baby."

"I... huh. I guess I have been calling you that." With a frown, he sat down beside her. "I'm sorry, should I call you something else?"

Giving a shaky shrug, she sighed. "I don't know. Your mother said it was significant, so it's been bugging me." 

"Listen, we've got this weird thing going, and I'm not sure what to do about it. I don't think you know either. But, we have to deal with each other."

She hugged her legs. "I wanted you so badly before, and you knocked me back repeatedly. Then I realized that I didn't know shit about you, other than how much I wanted my hands on your body. I thought Bradly was just my obnoxious brother... then he... well he spoke of me in such a way, that it confused me. Suddenly, I realized that I hadn't seen Bradly at all. It was right there in front of me, and I'd missed it." She shivered. "So, I've been working on this relationship with Bradly, which is weird and rocky, and I do love him, I'm certain I do. But I look at you, and my mouth waters." 

He chuckled. "Nice to know."

"I wasn't raised like you guys... I was raised to believe it was one and one only. I... I heard Bradly speak so beautifully about Bryan, and I didn't want to feel like I was holding him back, so I told him to take both. I find out Bradly only asked Bryan out because I told him to, and I felt like shit." She raked her fingers through her hair. "Gods, it's all so weird and confusing."

"And you keep making a mess of yourself." 

"I so do."

"That's not stopping."

"Huh?"

He laid his fingers on the side of her face. "Baby, you're still bleeding." Standing up, he scooped her up and began to walk.

"Hey! Put me down!" She hit his shoulder with her fist.

"No. You didn't have this dealt with, so now I have to make sure you do." 

"I can walk." She muttered. 

"Don't trust you to." 

"Fine." She crossed her arms. 

"You know, I always thought you were an annoying little sister. I've been so focused on how much sex I could cram into my day... that you weren't even in the running. I don't really WANT a relationship, especially with the woman my brother has spent his whole life obsessing over. But, you and I? We're connected. It IS weird... and it's extremely confusing. I care about you on a level that makes no damned sense to me. Hell, I still want to stick my dick in anyone willing, and quite frankly, you can't stop me. But, I think about you. Ever since that night when you first took me into your mouth, I think about it.

Oh, of course I think about the sex, but that's not even that. It's more like... what other surprises does she have that I haven't seen? And then I realize... that's what my dad did. He took this crazy night elf chick, who only wanted sex from whereever she could find, and he wanted to figure out more. He thought she was a trick, and honestly she was... but he found something deeper, something neither of them can explain. I know mother trains you..."

"She TOLD YOU?" Lydia near shrieked. 

He stopped and stared. "Told me what? I see you in the yard."

She closed her eyes. "Never mind... continue."

He shook his head and continued his slow walk. "So now, I want to learn the pieces of you, the ones I never saw. I don't want to take you from my brother, but I am willing to... push this further. If you'd let me." Burying his nose in her hair, he sighed. "You just have to realize, that I'm not going to stop being who I am, just for you."

Lydia sighed. "I thought that I had to."

"Hm?"

"I thought you were some wild beast to be tamed... that in order to have you, I'd have to... tame you."

He chuckled. "Fat chance." He pushed open the door. "Hey, Ina. Can you fix her? Momma's got appointments all day."

"What happened here?"

Darguni sat Lydia on the bed. "Training accident." 

Ina passed him a bottle and a wet rag. "Clean her up, then I'll heal her." 

"Aw man, I hate that stuff."

"Baby, you're just going to have deal with it." He began the delicate task of cleaning the wound. 

Ina's eyebrows shot up at the affection.

Lydia hissed and jerked back, as tears filled her eyes. 

"Aw, don't cry." He kissed the top of her head. 

"Gods, that stuff burns!"

"If you're good, I'll show you something special." He grinned.

"Like what?" She eyed him. 

"You'll see." He looked around. "Ina, is that good enough?"

"You do clean work." She nodded. Putting her hands on Lydia, she began to heal the girl. As the pair walked out, she debated paying a visit to Elunara.

"Where are we going?" Lydia laughed. "Geez I'm tired. I guess I lost more blood than I thought."

"Not far now." He scooped her up and carried her up the hill. When they reached the top, he turned and pointed. 

"Oh, wow! I've never seen Stormwind from here!"

"At night? It's practically magical, when all those houses light up." He sat her down and put a hand on her shoulder.

Her fingers brushed against his hand. "It's beautiful." She sighed. "How many people have you dragged up here?"

"Huh? Oh, no one. I haven't even shown Bradly." 

She jerked her head around. "What?"

"Heh, everyone needs a place to hide sometimes. Bradly hides in the cemetery. Whenever he goes there, I had to find somewhere to go, so one day I decided to see if I could find the top of this little mountain. What I discovered was amazing. I didn't want to share it. So, there you go." He put his hands on her shoulders. "The really cool thing to see is, just after everyone else has turned out their lights... the chapel stays lit. It's... breathtaking."

"Why did you bring me?" She asked quietly.

His hands jerked up off of her shoulders and the heat slammed into his face. "I..." He raked his fingers through his hair. "I don't know, exactly."

"Oh." She whispered.

"Lydia..."

Turning her head, she looked up at him. Before either of them could react, he brushed his lips against hers. His hand cupped her face and he pressed into it. As their mouths tangled together, he pulled her tightly against him. Her fingers dug into his chest, and her breathing was difficult to control. 

Darguni broke first. "Lydia." He groaned. "How can you taste so right, and feel so wrong?"

"I don't know what that means." She whimpered. 

"I want you, so desperately, but you belong to Bradly." 

Closing her eyes, she almost cried with it. "I want you both. Gods, I'm such a greedy bitch that I want you both." She clung to his shirt. "I hate myself with it."

"Oh, please don't. Please don't cry, Baby. I never want to see you cry."

"Just have me." She whispered. 

With a low growl, he went for her mouth again, while his fingers worked their way up her shirt. He tugged the shirt over her head and went back, his tongue craving the inside of her mouth. His hands cupped and caressed her breasts and nipples. When they went hard beneath his attentions, his mouth roamed down. She was so much shorter than he, that he went down on one knee.

"You have such beautiful tits." He murmured, before taking one into his mouth. She gasped and grabbed at his hair, as he licked and sucked, fondling the soft flesh. Still, his hands travelled down, pushing her pants to the ground. "I like it better when you wear skirts." He slid his fingers back and forth between those slick folds. "You're soaked." He whispered

Collapsing to her knees, Lydia panted. "Please..."

"I intend to enjoy you while I have you." Pushing her back into the soft grass, he pushed her legs up and out. When he licked her flat, he was pleased by her shocked reactions. One of her hands raked fingers through his hair, the other clung to her breasts. "Mine." He buried his face into her, enjoying the flavor and feel of her slick folds in his mouth and on his tongue, when she was gasping with it; he used his tongue on that delicious little clit of hers. She near spasmed out of his mouth. 

He chuckled softly. "I'm not done with you." Tugging himself free, he slipped out of his pants. "Not nearly..." His mouth went for hers, even as he pressed himself up into her with a sighing groan. 

Her legs went up around his sides, and her arms went for his neck. The flavor of her in his mouth was strange but not unpleasant. The fact that he was quite skilled with the process was mildly uncomfortable, but something she was going to have to live with.

He started off slow, just enjoying the feel of her tight center sucking at him, but he began to build, even as he buried his face in her neck and shoulder. Even he found it strange to give her whispered love and promises, but he couldn't help himself. When she began to clamp and shudder on him, he let himself go. 

Softly, he trailed kisses on her shoulder. He closed his eyes and just enjoyed the feel of her. After a moment, he turned over on his back, taking her with him. "I think you have one more in you." He grinned.

"Oh, but I..." She panted.

He grabbed her hips and began to move her up and down on him. She gasped and clung to his arms. "That's the way." He gave a soft growl. "Take it." 

"I don't think..." With a gasp, she doubled over. 

He blinked at her. "Baby, are you hurt?"

She collapsed against him. 

"Baby?" He dislodged her from him. "Oh, shit. Oh, shit, shit, shit, shit..." He yanked his pants on and delicately redressed her, before running her back down to the healer building. 

Ina put a hand to Lydia's forehead and sighed. "The hell did you think you were doing?"

Darguni ran his hands over his face. "I just... uh..." He blushed. 

"Never mind!" Ina smacked a hand to her own face. "She passed out from blood loss to the brain, you idiot. You're lucky she doesn't have brain damage." 

Bradly burst in. "Someone said they saw you running Lydia down here. What happened?"

"Shit." Darguni covered his head with his hands. 

"Well... tell him." Ina gestured.

"Uhh, you know how she took that hit earlier and was bleeding all over the place?"

"Yeah?"

"Wasn't serious, but she did kind of lose a lot of blood... and Ina fixed her... but then we... uh, we..." He scrubbed his hands over his face.

"You know the family policy."

"We were on our third round of fucking each other's brains out, when she blacked out from... the whole mess."

"You... you almost killed my girlfriend by fucking her to death?"

"Maybe?"

"THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?"

"Oh, my head." Lydia whimpered. 

"Well, SO much for not fucking her before TELLING ME." He stormed out of the building. 

"Wait, Bradly!"

Lydia sighed and put her hands on her face. "Gods, I fucked up again." She groaned.

"No, Baby... don't think that." Darguni sighed. "I'm sorry; I have to go after him."

"Do it." 

After they left, Ina put her hands on her hips. "Start talking."

"Bradly! Wait! Stop!"

"Just stay the hell away from me, you ASSHOLE!" 

"Let me just explain..."

Bradly slammed open the door to the house and Elunara almost dropped her board. "I don't NEED an explanation; I already KNOW what happened... you can't keep your dick out of MY girlfriend!"

"It wasn't... we weren't..." Darguni raked a hand through his hair. "UGH! YES, I had sex with her, okay? But it didn't start out like that; I had no intention of it..." He sighed. "It kind of happened..."

"Just SHUT UP!" Bradly swung around. "You have no goddamned concept of how fucking pissed off I am at you right now! I have half a mind to lop off that damned dick you're so fucking proud of."

"Oh, that's RICH, Mr. "hey, can I borrow your dick"." Darguni gestured. "You're the one who asked me to fuck her!"

"I didn't tell you to KISS her!"

"You said you were FINE WITH IT!"

"FOR THAT MOMENT"

"Hey, Idiots. You just woke up the baby." 

"Sorry, Momma." Both winced at the same time. 

She marched up the stairs. 

"Gods, dad's going to kill me five times over." Darguni sighed.

"Yeah, well, he's going to have to get in fucking line!"

"For FUCKS SAKE!" Darguni growled. "If you weren't so fucking obsessed with the idea of her, you'd have a better concept of where this mess was going!" 

"Like you know shit about her!"

"Sometimes I think I know more about her than YOU do." 

"Oh, really? Her favorite color?"

"Blue."

"Flower?" 

"Daffodils."

"Drink?"

"Ginger tea."

Bradly dropped his hands. "Food?"

"Ham Sandwiches." 

"Animal?" Bradly sighed. 

"Birds, the red ones with the little blue flecks." Darguni shook his head. "I forget the name of them."

"How...?"

Darguni shrugged. "We've all spent a lot of time together. I just remember all of this shit whether I like it or not. Look, I never EVER wanted us to have this kind of fight. There's a reason I declared her as my sister and said forget it. I wasn't about to trip over your toes. Gods, she's yours, she's always been yours. You know me; all I want is a warm, willing pussy. I don't want a freaking relationship, I especially didn't mean to fall in love with--" He slapped a hand over his mouth. He stared at Bradly in horror and backed away. He turned for the door and stared at Lydia. 

"Well, isn't this a fine kettle of fish?" Elunara leaned on the banister. 

"You love me?" Lydia squeaked. 

"You love her?" Bradly blinked. 

"Fucking shit..." Darguni barreled out of the door. 

Bradly rubbed his hand over his mouth. "I thought..." He took off running. 

Lydia slid to the floor. 

"Start talking, girly." 

Bradly's speed had him catching up easily with Darguni. "Speak to me."

Darguni closed his eyes and sighed. "No. I can't trust what comes out of my mouth anymore."

"I thought you fucked her for the hell of it. I didn't think it meant anything to you." 

He pinched the bridge of his nose. "Gods, I wouldn't have TOUCHED her if that's what it was. You should fucking know that by now, brother."

"Huh." Bradly blinked. "I guess we're more like our dads than we think we are."

"Ugh, I guess we are."

"I don't know; I've never bailed from training like you keep doing." 

Darguni froze. "Shiiiit, this is so not my day." 

Grogek snorted. "It's about to not be your fucking month."

"Dad, I am so fucking sorry."

"Explain."

"Uh..." His brain scrambled. "I'm in love with Lydia?"

"Yeah, I figured that one out. A REASONABLE explanation." 

"Wait, what?"

"I'm pretty sure the entire yard figured that one out the moment you called her "baby"."

Darguni whacked himself in the face. "GODS!"

Grogek snorted. "I'll go easy on you, two weeks."

"Easy, he says."

"You want to make it three?"

"Nope!" Darguni straightened up and saluted. "Nope, I'm good."

Grogek nodded and moved on. 

Darguni pounded his hand on his forehead. "Stupid. Stupid. Stupid." He yanked at his hair. "This is all Lydia's fault. She weaseled her obnoxious little self into my brain, and I've been nothing but a fuck up ever since." 

"Nah, bro, you were a fuck up waaaay before then." Bradly whacked Darguni on the back of the head.

"We cool now?"

"Yeah..." Bradly put his hands behind his head. "I guess we're just our dads now."

"I guess we have to take it up with Lydia now." 

"That we do." 

They were ribbing each other by time they walked in the door. 

"I take it you twits worked it out." Elunara added more detail to her board.

"Yeah, mom." Bradly got himself some water. "We just figured out we're our dads." 

"Is that so?"

"In love with the same woman?" Darguni snorted. "Yeah."

"You love me?" Lydia repeated. 

Darguni jolted as his face went red. "Apparently."

"I don't know how to feel about that." Lydia whispered. 

"Well, we don't either." He snorted. "Take it or leave it, we're just like our dads." 

"Like your dads?" She cocked her head to the side. 

"In love with the same woman." Bradly grinned. 

"Oh." 

"You get used to it after awhile." Jordan snorted. 

"You make it work." Grogek grinned. 

"It's quite enjoyable when you do." Elunara licked her lips. "You really should do a better job of reading my books." She winked. 

"Oh, I have mother." Darguni licked his lips. "I have."

"Well, that'd explain the interesting side effect."

He turned dark red. "MOTHER!" He hissed. 

"What's Darguni in trouble for now?" Lulu stuck her head over the railing.

"He's not. Though, you will be if you don't go the hell to bed."

Lulu disappeared. 

"Mooooom, I'm fifteen next month, can't I stay up later?" Tina whined at Susan.

"Call me when you're actually fifteen." Elunara snorted. 

"Ugh, why do YOU get to make the rules?" Tina snorted back.

"Because she's the goddess." Susan snorted. 




For The Whored: The Future: Ch. 10



"Oh, you little pain in my ass, I started this whole mess, I'm the meanest, toughest bitch on the planet, AND everyone else in the world obeys my rules. You're just a dippy little teenager who's almost old enough for me to kick out of the house. Don't fucking tempt me. Since you've already proven you're immature, I think I'll extend your current bed time... 

Tina gasped.

"until you're seventeen."

"WHAT?"

"Wake the baby and we'll do eighteen." 

Tina growled in frustration and went into the bedroom she shared with Lulu.

Susan sighed. "She did so well there for a few years, I thought we'd broken her of it."

Elunara shrugged. "Teenagers." She said by way of dismissal. "She's also frustrated because she's no longer your one and only. She has to compete with Tilly."

"But..."

"Hey, you had a sister."

She sighed again. "Well, yes. My sister was always so much like mother, that mother showed her preference. Of course, now I have a worthy sister." Susan grinned 

Darguni yawned. "I need SO much sleep." He sighed. 

"Go to bed, doll."

"You have work in the morning." Grogek growled.

Darguni winced. "I know." He sighed. "I deserve it." 

He walked into his room and began to remove his gear. He cracked his neck and wondered if he could get his mother to rub his back, or if that'd just lead to another awkward boner. 

"Darguni?"

He jolted. Think of an awkward boner, and there was Lydia to be had. "Yeah?"

"I have to admit, I'm still stuck on you loving me."

"Another one of mother's interesting philosophies is that the first thing to come to mind is usually the truest. Which is part of why her main rule is to never do anything in anger or haste, because when you're feeling mean, and you say something bad, whoever hears it is going to take it as truth. I... honestly would not have chosen to say I love you, but that's what keeps coming up, so it's got to be true somewhere."

"Oh."

"Look, Baby, it's really complicated, and we'll just have to see where this goes. But, you have to understand, that I can't stop being me..."

"I know that." She sighed and stepped over to him. "I will freely admit... it kind of hurts a little to think of you with someone else... but..." She rubbed her chest and sighed. "But I don't know why that is. I mean, it's really not fair to you that I encourage Bradly to be with Bryan, and think you'd give up anything for me. I'm just so confused." Rubbing her forehead, she sighed. "It's just mixed up, I guess."

He put his knuckle under her chin. "If I love you, it's for who you are... all I ask, is that you love me for who I am."

"Alright." She whispered.

"Now, if you don't mind, I am exhausted and would like to crash on my face."

"Yes, of course."

He changed to his sleeping pants while she watched. Ignoring her, he climbed in bed.

Bradly stuck his head in. "Uh, can I go to bed yet?"

"I believe I've been dismissed." She whispered.

He scooted in and closed the door. "Did you work it out?"

"I guess." She blushed. "I guess I'm dating both of you."

"Fascinating." 

"Are you mad?"

He rubbed his hands down her arms. "I was when I thought he was just using the parts of you."

"Oh." 

"I'm sorry, Sweetheart, but I am completely exhausted."

"Ugh, me too." She sighed. "I'm going upstairs to crash on my face."

He brushed his lips against hers. "Good night, my love."

"Good night." She blushed. 



For The Whored: The Future: Ch. 11



Darguni was ridiculously tired, and he still had eight days to go of his punishment. A nice slice of chocolate cake from Tippy's was just the thing he needed. A familiar giggle had him halting his current mission. He followed the sound. "What the HELL do you think you're DOING?"

"Oh, goody, it's trainer boy." The man snorted.

"You!" He pointed at the girl. "You're in a world of shit. And YOU!" He pointed at the man. "Keep your filthy hands off my fourteen year old sister!"

"You're not the boss of me." Tina flipped her hair. 

"You wanna bet?" He grabbed her by the arm. "This is your ONLY warning." He jabbed a finger in the man's chest. 

He grabbed Darguni's finger. "Want to do something about it?"

Darguni yanked his finger out of the guy's hand. "Yeah. This." He cold cocked the bastard. "Fuck you, Jake." He started walking, Tina in tow.

"Let GO of me!"

"Oh, no, you're going to have a LOVELY discussion with mother."

"She's not MY mother."

"I am so unbelievably tired of your shit Tina. If I could wait until I was eighteen, you damned well can."

"Ugh, if my mother hadn't married that damned orc, I wouldn't even have to take orders from fucking Elunara!"

Darguni whacked her in the face with the back of his hand. "Fucking SHUT UP!" 

Tina held her face and gasped. "You HIT me!"

"You're lucky that's all I did. Where is Lulu?"

"The fuck do I care?" Tina snorted. 

"She's your SISTER."

"She ain't MY sister. I'm not related to ANY of you idiots."

He balled his fist, but kept it at his side. Shoving her inside the house, he looked around. "Mother?" He called. "She must be out. You sit your ass on that couch."

"You can't keep me here!"

Crossing his arms, he assumed his guard stance. "Try me." He growled. 

Grogek was royally pissed off. Not only had his dumbass son disappeared again, he got puked on. He was going to take a long shower, hunt down Darguni, and beat some damned sense into the boy. Opening the door, he blinked at Darguni's back. "You should be down at training." He growled.

"I would be, except pain in the ass Tina has decided she's too old for this family."

Tina sat on the couch, arms and legs crossed. "You fucking HIT ME!"

Grogek closed his eyes and sighed. "What happened NOW?"

"I caught her in an alley, with a soldier who had his hands under her shirt and dress. When I tried to deal with her, she had the balls to tell me, that if her mother hadn't married that dumb ORC, she wouldn't have to listen to mother. Followed by the fact that she has no idea where Lulu is, and claims that she's not related to us." 

Grogek's mouth dropped open. "Is this true?" He croaked. 

She jerked a shoulder. "Fucking sick of this so called "family" ruining my fun."

Grogek put his hand on Darguni's shoulder. "Keep her here; I have to get her mothers."

"I only have one." Tina growled. 

Closing the door behind him, Grogek leaned against the building a moment, his eyes closed. Taking a deep breath, he scrubbed his hands over his face and went for Elunara. 

"Love?" 

Elunara looked up. "What happened?" She scrambled to stand. 

"I... I need you to deal with Tina." His voice cracked.

"What did that little shit do now?" Elunara growled. 

The door slammed open so hard that Darguni jolted. "YOU MISERABLE LITTLE SHITBAG." Elunara roared.

Tina's eyes went wide, and she scrambled back. 

"You worthless piece of SHIT!" Elunara grabbed a handful of Tina's hair and dragged her forward. "Give me ONE reason why I shouldn't slit your fucking THROAT."

"Now, now, Elunara..." Susan stepped into the room. 

"Momma!" Tina gasped. 

"Leave me something to kill." Susan growled. 

"Momma?" Tina whimpered. 

Elunara shoved Tina back and moved to the side.

"How DARE you!" Susan put her hands on her hips. "What in goddamned HELL is WRONG with you? How dare you say such things about our family! How DARE you say those things to the man who has done his best to raise you for almost eleven years now? He loved you from the moment he picked you up with a busted ankle, and you have the NERVE to say that about him?" 

Susan shook her head. "It's bad enough that you still resent Elunara for her rightful place in this house, but to take it out on Grogek? I don't even KNOW you anymore. And what of poor Lulu? Bradly found her crying, because she didn't know what had happened to you, and she was terrified of coming home without you!" She put her hands on her hips. "I should just let Elunara rip you to pieces, so MAYBE we can put them back together in the RIGHT ORDER!" 

"But, momma..."

"You are a mean, nasty little bitch, Tina. And I have absolutely no idea what to do to you to make you understand what EVERYONE ELSE in this house believes with their whole heart. Elunara has rescued every damned one of us. She saved Grogek from that fortress, she saved Tulani from a tortured mind and body, and she kept Darguni when she didn't have to. Bradly she saved from his abusive situation, Jordan she saved from himself, Lydia she saved in so many ways she just stopped bothering to count. Lulu she saved from abandonment, you and I she saved from being alone. She saved YOU from growing up without a father. 

Grogek may have loved you from the beginning, but it was through Elunara's graces that we were allowed to stay; we were allowed to be loved. If Elunara had said at any point in time, "no, be rid of them", then Grogek would not have hesitated. Elunara comes first. Go down to the training yard, ask how many people have been saved, and I bet you hundreds of them would lift their hands. Ask the world and it would be thousands. 

We don't listen to her out of fear; we listen to her out of love and respect. She GAVE us who we are, and it's our debt to her. Even then, she never asked for it. It's stupidly cruel of you to throw that in her face, and it's just pure hate to take it out on Grogek. If that's the kind of person you are, then get the FUCK out of this house, because I don't want you anywhere near me."

Tina scrambled up and ran, pushing past everyone. Outside, she blinked down at Grogek, sitting on the porch, cuddling Tilly with tears in his eyes. He took one look at her and turned away. Tina just kept on running. 

Susan buried her face in her hands. 

Elunara wrapped her arms around Susan. "Shh, it's ok, my love. She'll be back." She chuckled. "Besides, when YOU use swear words, we know it's bad. She'll come around."

"Oh, I hope you're right." 

She usually is." Grogek sighed. 

"I'm just so worried."

"I'll track her."

"Huh?"

"It'll be like old times." Elunara laughed. "I'll keep her in my sights, and make sure she's safe." She grinned. 

"Elunara is the best tracker we have, and she'll keep to the shadows so Tina has no idea."

"You're always so kind." Susan sighed.

"But WHY?" Lulu cried. "Why would she just leave me there?"

"Because she thinks she's better than she is." Elunara shook her head. "Only a rotten child would leave her little sister in the middle of the city by herself."

Tina sat in the back, her arms and legs crossed, her foot tapping the table. She had to admit, she didn't think this through. Damn that Elunara. She had no clothes and no money. It was going to take her some quick talking to have a place to sleep tonight. 

Tippy wandered over. "Aren't you a little late tonight?"

"Yeah, maybe." Tina did her best to smile. "Can I stay here for the night?"

"Your mother know about this?"

"She kicked me out." Tina snorted.

"Get out."

"No, she really did." 

"GET OUT." Tippy pointed at the door.

"What?" 

"If you did something bad enough to piss off Elunara, then I don't want you in MY place!"

"Elunara is NOT MY MOTHER!"

"YES, she damned well IS!" Tippy crossed her arms. "If you did something bad enough to get kicked out of THAT HOUSE, then you're not welcome in MINE! Now get OUT before I call the guard!"

"You wouldn't!" Tina gasped. 

"Watch me." 

Tina scrambled to escape. Behind the building, she sat on the ground, her face on fire. That was horrifically embarrassing. Her mind scrambled as she tried to figure out a new plan. Knocking on the door, she sighed. 

"Oh, Tina, what are you doing here?"

"Sorry, Gingy, I was hoping I could stay with you tonight."

"Whatever for?"

"Momma got mad and threw me out..."

"Oh, no. No, no, no. I do NOT risk the anger of that family." 

She tried to shut the door, but Tina wedged herself in. "It's only one night!"

"NO! That family has given me everything I have. I'm not about to piss them off!"Gingy shoved Tina and slammed the door. 

Several houses later, Tina raked her fingers through her hair. This entire fucking city was completely NUTS! Spotting another option, she licked her lips and sauntered over. She slipped her hands over her target. "Hello, Jake."

He turned and grinned. "Mm, tight little package." He purred. 

"So, I got myself thrown out of my house." She cackled. "How about I come home with you tonight?"

"Uhh..." He untangled her. "Yeah, while I don't mind getting my hands on you..."

"Ugh, don't tell me YOU'RE afraid of Elunara too!" She crossed her arms. 

"Pfft, as if. My wife would kill me."

"Your..." Tina recoiled as if struck. 

"What she doesn't know; can't hurt me, right?" He chuckled. "But if I try to take you home? Yeah, not happening." Holding up his hands, he shook his head. "Hit me up tomorrow, we'll have our fun. Meanwhile, you're not my problem."

Tina wandered the city as it got dark. Raking her fingers through her hair, she sighed. She was running out of options and it was getting more difficult to navigate as people began to put out their lights. Frowning, she stared at the ruined portion of the city. 

"What's a little thing like you doing out here?"

She jolted. "Just taking in the sights." Flipping back her hair, she gave the man a benign smile. 

"Little girls shouldn't be out so late."

Jolting again, she looked at the second man on her other side. "Well, I'm not a little girl."

Hands came over her shoulders. "Look pretty little me." A new man whispered in her ear. 

She scrambled back. "Yeah, I should be going." She jerked a thumb behind her. 

She backed into a fourth man. "Now, now. I think we can have a little fun." He shoved his hand down the front of her dress. 

"LEAVE ME ALONE!" She tried to run, but her arms were grabbed by hands, and she was hauled backwards. Hands went everywhere, and she tried to scream. One of the men clamped his hand on her mouth. She kicked her legs, but was pinned down.

Suddenly, one of the men collapsed to the ground. The next one hit the ground and the other two looked around in confusion. A glint of silver and the third went down. Elunara appeared from seemingly nowhere, her fingers holding the fourth man by the hair. "I hate bastards like you." She yanked her dagger across the throat of the final man. 

Tina threw herself on Elunara. "I want to go home!" She cried. 

"Come on, let's get you to bed." 

Susan had her hands clasped together. "Is she alright?"

"As well as can be expected." Elunara closed the bedroom door. "She's badly shaken up, but I think she gets the point now." 

"Thank the gods for you."

"Wish I'd been just a little bit closer when they appeared..." Elunara raked her fingers through her hair. "I could have prevented some of the trauma." 

"At least you were there to save her." 

Elunara wrapped her arms around Susan. "We do what we have to, Sweetie." She put her chin on the woman's head. "Besides, if anything, Tina helped me find those bastards. They'll never hurt another person again." 



For The Whored: The Future: Ch. 12



"You know, you'll never get anywhere in training, if you just show up whenever the hell you feel like it."

Lydia blushed. "Sorry High General Jordan."

"The only reason I allow it, is because Elunara asked me to. Otherwise I'd toss your ass out. You're wasting my time."

She winced. "Please forgive me."

"Not until you start showing some initiative." 

Darguni climbed up on the platform and sat down. "Ugh, finally, I can have a break."

Elunara held out a bottle. "Here."

"Thanks, mom."

"Three more days."

"Don't remind me." He rubbed his neck. His eyes tracked around the area until he found his target. He watched her for some time. 

"How's that going?"

"Huh? Oh." He sighed. "It's really weird. I've spent my entire life thinking of her as a kid sister... I mean, I know she's technically older, but she was just my kid sister... then..." He licked his lips. "Suddenly, I see her as a sexual being, and the whole thing flips on its damned head. It's bizarre." Twirling the bottle in his fingers, he frowned. "I don't want to change who I am, but I want her in my life."

"Kind of ironic, how your father and I are the complete opposite. I fell for him, because I stopped seeing him as just another fuck. I wanted him, pretty badly. My gods he was majestic... but he turned me down flat. TWICE! I had to... I had to have him. Instead of trying to fuck him, I actually had to put in efforts to seduce him, and my heart went right on out."

"Huh."

"I'm not going to tell you to stop fucking everything that moves... lord knows I can't stop... but I am going to tell you, that when I let him in? My whole world changed. I am the goddess, because he opened my heart."

He ran his hand over his mouth. 

"Meanwhile, you've been staring at her so hard, you're missing the fact that your father is giving you ugly looks."

"Shit!"

Later that day, Darguni laid back, his arms behind his head, as he stared at the sky. Watching the clouds roll by, he wondered. Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted her pretty blonde hair fluttering in the breeze. He sat up and watched her crest the hill. He thought she looked like an angel in white.

"Darguni?"

"Yeah?"

"May I sit with you?"

"Of course."

She sat down, her back to his face. She tucked her legs up under her and sighed. 

Reaching out, he brushed a hand down her back. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine." She said, quietly. 

"Do you want to talk about it?"

She just shook her head. 

He frowned, but watched her. 

"You know how you told me, that this was your quiet place, and Bradly's quiet place was the cemetery?"

"Yeah."

"My quiet place used to be my old bedroom in my mother's house."

He jolted up. "Baby, I'm so sorry."

She shook her head and sniffled. "No matter what, I could go there, and my room would be in place. I'd flop down on my bed, and she'd make me peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with a tall glass of chocolate milk. It was always the same. When I was a teenager, it was babyish. I may have told her that... but she'd do it anyway. She never asked me to explain myself. Never expected a word. She'd just make me those sandwiches." Lydia wiped her eyes.

"Oh, Baby." He tugged her into his embrace.

"I started to go to Bradly... but the cemetery is still too hard to handle." She sniffled. "I just want... I just wanted some quiet."

Brushing his hand down her hair, he kissed her temple. "Take what you need." He whispered. 

She leaned against him. "Thank you." 

The next day brought new frustration. "Lydia! I swear you get worse by the day!" Jordan grabbed her staff. "Get the fuck off of my yard!"

She turned and ran.

"Pathetic." He snorted. He turned to his trainees. "New lesson, NEVER leave your weapon behind!" 

She ran all the way up the hill, and flopped down in the grass and cried. 

Darguni watched her leave. 

"PAY ATTENTION!"

"Yes, sir!"

After training, he made his way to Tippy's. "Enalla, can you tell your mother I have a special request?"

Lydia was staring at the sky when he made his way to the top of the hill. He sat the basket down and began to unload it. She blinked. "You..." Tears ran down her cheek. "You listened."

He handed her a plate and a glass. "I am often more than a big dumb orc."

She bit her lip. "That's... not what I meant." Fingering the plate, she sighed. "I can't decide if I want to cry or laugh."

"Laughing is better." He grinned. 

She took a bite of her sandwich and the tears streamed anew. 

"Aw, Baby, don't cry." He wiped her cheek with his thumb. 

"I just... I'm so overcome with emotion, that I have no idea what to do."

"Eat?" He scooted close and wrapped his arm around her back. "Think of something else?"

She laid her head against his shoulder and sighed. 

"What's bothering you, Baby?"

"I HATE training! Gods, I'm so sick of it. I don't know why I show up any more." 

"Why do you?" He cocked his head to the side. "You're not in the guard; you're not even a soldier." 

"It's stupid."

"Tell me."

She sighed. "Elunara."

"That IS stupid. Momma would NEVER make you do something you don't want."

"That's just the thing. She's not." Another sigh and Lydia scrubbed her hand over her forehead. "When I'm training with Elunara, it's amazing. I love it, even when I lose badly... just the ability to train with the absolute best, is a thrill. But, she has so many other things she does all day; that I get training about once a month. She told me that, if I wanted to continue our sessions, then I needed to join basic training and keep up. But I HATE it. I absolutely fucking HATE it. It's sticky and nasty and I have to wear certain clothes and... UGH." She took an angry bite of her sandwich. "I can't believe I ever had a crush on that man." She chugged her chocolate milk. 

Darguni blinked. "You had a crush on Jordan?"

"Yes." She turned red. "But now he's just an asshole." Closing her eyes, she groaned. "I left my staff!" She put her hands to her face and flopped backwards. 

He chuckled at her. "Talk to Momma, tell her the truth."

"I can't!"

"You have to. Family policy."

"UGH! I hate this family and its endless list of rules!"

"Hey..." His face fell. "You hate us?"

"No! No, I didn't mean that." She sighed. "Stupid rule number one..." She grumbled.

He turned away and put his arms on his legs. "If that's how you feel."

She sat up and put her hand on his arm. "No, I didn't mean it, I swear. I'm just frustrated. I acted out of anger and haste." She sighed. Reaching over, she put her hand on his cheek and turned his face to hers. "I love this family. Ever since Elunara fixed my legs, all I've ever wanted was to be a part of this family. I love YOU." She whispered. 

Leaning forward, he laid his lips on hers, soft and slow and sweet. "I love you too, baby." He murmured. 

"Darguni, I... I don't want..."

"Surprisingly, I don't either. Let me just hold you."

Later, Darguni lay back, staring at the sky. One arm was tucked behind his head, and the other was wrapped around the sleeping Lydia. He softly twirled a lock of her hair between her fingers. "Baby, wake up."

"Huh?" She sat up and rubbed her eyes. "What time is it?"

"Dark."

Looking up, she gasped at the stars. "Oh, it's almost as beautiful as Draenor up here."

"Look at the city."

She put her hands to her mouth. "It's like the stars, but different!"

He grinned down at her. "And if we wait just a little while longer..." 

She watched in fascinated awe, as the lights in the city began to turn off. It was slow at first, but soon, nothing but the church was left lit. "Oh! Oh, it's so beautiful!"

He tugged her into his lap. "See? What did I tell you?" He kissed the top of her head. "And only you and I know about it." He whispered. 

"It makes me think of the time we spent in Draenor. The skies were always so clear, and there were no lights from buildings to knock them out. I miss it sometimes." She looked up at the stars. "Thank you for showing me this."

He rubbed his cheek on her head. "You're welcome."

"I'm sorry." She whispered. 

"Hm?"

"I never... I never thought you were capable of this. Even when I thought I wanted you, I had always assumed that I'd have to show you pretty things like this. That... I'd have to teach you to be gentle. The other girls always spoke of you as some sort of mythological beast. I figured that maybe... maybe I could tame you and have the best of both."

He cackled. "Seriously?"

She blushed. "I'm awful."

"Oh, Baby, you have so much to learn." He cuddled her in his arms. "I guess that's how it works, though. Truly learning about each other." Laying his chin on her head, he sighed. "I'll teach you everything." He whispered.

Her face went hot. "I guess you will."

Morning came, and Darguni opened his eyes and grinned. Lydia was tucked up under his arms, quietly sleeping. Lifting his head, he spotted the clock tower. "SHIT!"

"Huh? What?" Lydia shook her head. 

"If I'm late again, dad will have my ass!" He tossed everything in the basket. 

"I thought yesterday was your last day of punishment."

"I don't put him past giving me more!" He pushed the basket into her lap. "Hang on; we're going to go fast."

"We're...?"

He scooped her up and started running.

"Darguni!!!"

Before she knew what was happening, she was sitting on Elunara's couch, basket in hand. "Return that to Tippy." He pointed. "Hi, dad! Bye, dad! I'll be there!" He disappeared into the shower. 

Lydia blinked down at the basket. 

"Uh..."

"Oh, hey, Bradly. Darguni and I had a picnic."

He pinned his gear into place. "Fascinating. Got busy and lost track of the time?" He grinned at her.

"Actually, we didn't have sex at all..."

Bradly dropped the piece he was attaching. "What?"

"It's true." She blinked back at the basket.

"Miracles happen, Bradly." Jordan snorted. "Are you coming to the yard?" He eyed Lydia.

Lydia flushed. "No, sir. I need to speak to Elunara today."

"Fine." He waved a hand and walked out.

"Is something the matter?" Bradly whispered. 

"I HATE training." She growled. "I just want to be a girl."

"There are plenty of girls in the guard... some of which act very girly."

She waved a hand. "I can't explain it in a way that would make sense."

He kissed her temple. "Whatever you decide, Sweetheart."

Later, Elunara tapped her board. "Well, that's a fascinating thought process."

Lydia sighed. "I just... it's true. Every last bit of it."

"I can't train you if you don't stay in top shape."

She sighed and picked at her skirt. "Then I guess I have to give up on it. I'd rather sing, and wear swishy skirts." 

"Have you considered sewing?"

"Gods, no. Besides, I think Gingy would die of a heart attack if I let anyone but her make my clothes." She sighed. "When I was little, I desperately wanted to be beautiful. You fixed my legs, you trained me, and then that concert..." Running her fingers through her hair, she sighed. "I'm finally what I wanted... and I just don't know what to do with myself. I just want to sing."

"Then do that. Try to make a career out of something you enjoy doing. Don't just sit on my couch and mope."

"Bleh. I hate doing that too. I feel like I constantly need to be moving. I couldn't imagine being a stay at home mom like Susan or Chrissy is."

Susan giggled. "Well, it's what I enjoy."

"I'm not saying there's anything bad about it, but I'd just go insane."

"Speaking of which, are you and the boys using the stuff?"

Lydia went red. "Uhhh..." 

Elunara smacked a hand to her face. "I take that as a no."

"Can you just break me?"

"No." 

"Why?"

"I refuse to break someone who isn't in their thirties or higher. Don't bother asking. Just do it right and you won't have to worry."



For The Whored: The Future: Ch. 13



"Hey, Darguni... want to have some fun?"

He licked his lips. "Hey, Quinn..." His eyes tracked away. "Uh, yeah, not today." Jogging off, he caught up with Lydia.

Quinn stood there and blinked. She had to tell somebody.

"Did you talk to mom?"

"Yeah..." Lydia sighed and brushed her hair out of her face. "She's willing to let me practice with her, but no more than the usual schedule. She'll let me do the weapon tattoo, but my dumb self left it at training yesterday. I have to retrieve it."

"I'll go with you."

"Thanks." She sighed. "Now, I have to figure out what I really want to do with myself." 

"Anything you want, we'll support you." He put his hands behind his head. 

"I feel dumb."

"Why?"

"Because all I want to do is sing and look pretty."

He chuckled. "Well, you've got the pretty part down... and your singing is amazing..."

With a giggle, she grinned at him. "You have any idea how long I've wanted to hear you call me pretty?"

"Yeah, well..." He blushed. "I had to come to the realization that you could BE pretty." He stuck his tongue out.

Without thinking, she stood on her toes and captured his tongue with her lips. He blinked at her, before wrapping his arms around her waist and pressing into the kiss. 

"Can't you two keep your hands off each other for five minutes?"

Darguni jerked back. "Dad!"

Grogek shook his head. "You are so your mother." 

Lydia blushed. "I... I need my staff." She scooted away.

Jordan was currently reaming Bradly, but Lydia ignored them and poked through the weapon racks. "Sir? Where's my staff?" She bit her lip. 

"Bradly broke it."

Her eyes went wide and her mouth dropped open.

Jordan put the two pieces in her hands. "That's why you should maintain your weapon at home, and not leave it with the training gear!"

Holding a piece in each hand, she looked back and forth. "You..."

"Sweetheart, it was an accident... I fell..."

"YOU BROKE MY STAFF?" She shrieked. 

"Oh, shit." He held up his hands. "I didn't mean to, it was just a silly accident."

Jordan crossed his arms. "If you'd been listening, and not dicking around, you wouldn't have even had the staff in your hand."

She shot out at him, swinging both parts of the staff. "YOU STUPID ASS! THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING I OWN!"

"Shit, shit, shit." Bradly tried with some desperation to block her attacks. 

"Fight her back!" Jordan called. 

"But, I can't... she's..."

"Don't pull that "girl" shit on me. Don't even try the "girlfriend" excuse. When you are being attacked by an opponent, your end goal is to BRING THEM DOWN! If you can't bring down your completely enraged girlfriend, then how are you going to fight in an actual battle?"

Bradly summoned his sword. "FINE!"

Elunara just stood on the platform, staring. "Where the hell did this come from?"

Darguni winced. "Bradly broke her staff."

"Oof."

"Gods, Lydia! I'm sorry! It was a complete accident! I shouldn't have picked it up."

By this point, she wasn't listening, she was just attacking. He tried several times to take her down, but she was lighter and quicker than him. She dodged under him effortlessly, and went for the attack. She cracked him in the back of the head hard enough, that she knocked him out. Holding up her pieces, she went to attack his prone form. 

Darguni dove in, taking the hit for his brother. 

Lydia blinked down at the pair of them. "What the... what?" She dropped the pieces and held her head. "What have I done?" Her fingers raked through her hair. 

"Well, that's going to bruise." He winced. She backed away, before turning to run. His hand shot out and grabbed her by the wrist. "Not a chance, sweet pea." 

"What the HELL was THAT?" Elunara dropped down into the ring. 

Jordan cocked his head to the side. "If you came to training more often, we could harness that."

"I don't WANT to harness... whatever it is I just did! I just want to be a singer!" Tears ran down her cheeks. 

"Move, big brother."

Darguni shifted off of Bradly, but refused to release his hold on Lydia. 

Elunara ran her healing energy over Bradly.

"Gods, is he ok?" Lydia whimpered. 

"He'll be fine. He'll just have a nasty headache." 

"I was just so angry." She whispered. "You can let go, I'm not going to run." 

He released his grip on her arm and frowned. "Shit, I'm sorry."

She stared at the bruises on her wrist. "I guess that's the least of my worries."

"Ugh, my head."

"Bradly! Bradly, I'm so sorry!" Lydia scooted closer. "I don't know what came over me." 

"Gods, you fight like my mother." He put his hands on his head. 

"I think we should put you in personal training." Jordan nodded.

"NO! NO! I REFUSE!" She scrambled up and ran. 

Darguni sighed. "She was coming down here to quit." He jogged after her. 

Jordan ran his tongue over his teeth. "If we don't train that, she could be a danger to someone the next time she loses her marbles." 

"I agree. Help me get Bradly home." 

Darguni found her at the top of the hill, crying. "Baby..."

"Leave me alone, I'll just hurt you too." She tugged her legs up and wrapped her arms around them.

"Beauty, I'm made of tougher stuff. Yeah, I'm probably going to have a nasty bruise on my side, but meh." He sat down and tugged her into his lap. "It's ok."

"No, it's not." Curling up in his lap, she sighed. "I don't WANT personal training."

"I'll never make you do something you don't want."

"Everyone's going to be afraid of me now." 

He chuckled. "They were afraid of mother at first... now look at them." Sliding his finger under her chin, he brushed his lips across hers. "Besides, I'll never be afraid of you." His face hovered mere inches above hers. "I'm usually afraid of hurting you."

"But, you don't." She whispered. 

He pressed his mouth to hers, as his fingers buried in her hair. Her hands went up around his neck and she lost herself in the expert skill of his mouth. Pressing her backwards, he laid her in the soft grass. His hands went up her shirt and his fingers caressed her breasts. Tugging the shit off, he licked her chest. She writhed under him. Again his hands roamed, and he tugged her skirt off. She lay there in the soft grass, her face flush, and her hands against her chest. 

"Open up for me, my love." He whispered. 

She spread her legs apart.

"Not just that." He tugged her arms up, and wrapped them around his neck. "Like this." He pressed his mouth to hers and danced his lips, taking his advantage when he could. After enjoying the flavor of her mouth, the feel of her skin in his hands, he tugged himself free of his pants and slipped in, inch by glorious inch. 

She gasped and clung to him, groaning as he began to move in and out. Her legs came up and rubbed against his soft sides. 

"Come for me, Baby." He whispered. "I want to feel you."

Her fingernails dug streaks down his back, as she began to shiver. When she clamped down on him, he released himself with a groan.

He sat with her in his lap, as he licked her neck, he fondled her breasts. "I'm going to say something stupid." 

"Everyone keeps reminding me of the family rules." She rolled her eyes. 

"I love your breasts. They're so large and perfect for my hands. Everyone else has such small ones, barely any fun."

Blinking, she laughed. "I'll be damned." 

He slid his hand down her belly, through her soft curls and to the slick folds below. Pressing a finger in, her gave her a playful growl. "In fact, it's amazing how well we fit together."

She gasped and jerked against him. 

"Just like that." He slid his finger in and out of her. 

"Gods, Darguni..." She whispered, clinging to his massive arm. 

"Mm, I like making you squirm." He licked her neck, as he pumped his fingers in and out of her.

Writhing in his lap, she gasped at his skilled fingers. "Please..." She whimpered. As he increased his pace, she clamped down and hung on to him.

"Oh, you're awful."

He cuddled her. "I just can't help myself."

She sighed. "We should probably see how Bradly is doing."

"Yeah, we should." 

"Bradly, I'm SO sorry!" She clung to his hands. "I don't know what came over me."

He sat in bed, bruises evident over his body. "Well, you fight like my mother." He snorted. "I'm sorry I broke your staff. I know how important it is."

Lydia sighed. "It's the most important thing I own. I didn't mean to go crazy... How DID it get broken?"

With a sigh, he brushed his hair out of his face. "We were at the end of training, and I was doing a last minute check on the weapons, when I realized you'd left your staff on the rack. I... Well, I picked it up and started playing with it. I tossed it in the air, intending to catch it. Instead, I fumbled it and when I went to grab it again... I did the clumsiest thing I've ever done in my life..." He muttered. "I stepped on the end, tripped, fell, and landed dead center of the thing." He sighed. "Which is why dad was reaming my ass when you showed up."

Lydia fought tears. "Now what do I do?"

Elunara held up the pieces of the staff. "I'll see what I can get done."

Lydia climbed in the bed and wrapped herself around Bradly. "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you."

He cuddled her. "It's actually kind of fascinating, and tells me I need more training." He laughed. "It's alright Sweetheart, I kind of deserved it." 

"Yeah you did." Darguni snorted. "You don't play with someone else's weapon."

"Don't you start!" Bradly jabbed his finger towards Darguni. 

"Hey, I've fucked up plenty." Darguni flopped on his bed. "But I wouldn't have broken the staff."

"Bah." 

Bryan stuck his head in the door. "I heard what happened."

"Yeah, Lydia fucked me up." Bradly laughed. 

He stopped by the bed. "Oh, look at you!" He brushed his hand over some of the bruises. 

"I looked MUCH worse before momma healed me."

"In fact, I'm back to heal more." Elunara put her hand on Bradly's shoulder and focused her energy. The bruises began to fade and lighten.

"Amazing..." Bryan whispered. 

"Yeah, momma's aces at healing." Bradly groaned. 

She examined him. "I'll finish you up in the morning."

"Alright." 

She grinned. "Good night." She snapped the door closed. 

"Ugh, you'd think she knew something we didn't." Darguni grumbled. He flopped back and dropped the pillow over his face. 

"Or knew something we did." Lydia muttered.

Darguni jerked his head up. "You told her."

"Honesty policy, remember?" She snarked

"GAH!" He tossed his hands up. 

Lydia sat up. "She's the best person for advice on the subject!"

Bradly laughed. "Hell, Darguni you're the one who reads her books. Religiously..."

Darguni blushed. "Yeah, so?"

"Oh, my GODS, he CAN be EMBARASSED!" Bradly cackled. 

"Forgive me if I'm a little weirded out by my girlfriend taking advice from my MOTHER!"

"Wait, she's your girlfriend too?" Bryan blinked.

"Yeah, we're one big happy family now." Bradly cackled. "He can read, in depth, repeatedly, about mother's fuck projects, but you include Lydia, and he gets all embarrassed." 

"It's different, ok?" Darguni crossed his arms.

"Gods, all she did was give me one of those metal dicks to work with. I've read her books myself, but..." Lydia blushed. "Well, they were a little too detailed. Now I need to read them again, just to figure out where I can improve."

"Well you certainly don't need any lessons with your mouth." Bradly snorted.

She glared back at him. "WHAT?"

Darguni smacked his forehead. "Dude, you don't just out and say it."

She looked back and forth. "The hell are you two talking about?"

Darguni ducked his head. "Nothing."

"HONESTY POLICY!" She crossed her arms. 

He raked his fingers through his hair. "Gods, I need to put this shit up." He brushed his hair back. "Fine, you give the best blow job I've ever had. There, I said it." 

She gawked at him. "Really?"

"I actually kind of wondered... if you had instruction..." He shook his head. "I need to shut my mouth." 

Bradly sighed. "Bryan, I love you, but it's true." 

Bryan blushed. "I wonder how we compare." He slapped a hand to his mouth. 

Lydia narrowed her eyes. "That's a good idea."

"I'm always up for that!" Bradly laughed. 

Lydia tugged at Bradly's pants. "I think we should find out now." 

"Ok!" Bradly bucked his hips and let Lydia yank his pants down. 

She grabbed his still soft dick and began to lick at him. He laid his head back and groaned. Quickly, she licked him up and down, before sliding her mouth over the tip. He buried his fingers in her hair. "Oh, Sweetheart."

Scooting her head back, she grinned at Bryan. "Now you go."

Bryan licked his lips. "With pleasure." He scooted up and began to lick up and down, his own hand caressing Bradly's erection, he slipped his mouth over the tip and sucked. 

Bradly ran his fingers through Bryan's hair. "Gods, Sugar."

"My turn." Lydia slipped her mouth over the dick and began to pump her mouth up and down.

"Together." Bryan whimpered. They linked their fingers at the base of Bradly's dick and began to lick him up and down.

"Ok, this is not fair." Darguni groaned. He had his own dick in his hand, pumping up and down. Lydia reached back and tugged her skirt up. He scrambled up and pressed himself into her slick folds. "Oh, thank you, Baby." He groaned. 

Lydia slipped her mouth down, taking in the full of Bradly. She shifted her mouth and sucked on him. Bryan gave her a small shove, and she backed up, letting Bryan take over. Her hand went down and she caressed and tugged at Bradly's balls. His fingers dug into her hair and his body shook. 

Darguni pumped himself in and out of Lydia's slick folds. His fingers dug into her hips and he groaned. He moved a finger and began to caress her asshole. Shifting, he got his finger slick from the outside of her folds, before pressing into her ass. She gasped and jolted. Laying her head against Bradly's stomach, she whimpered and shivered. When she clamped down, she spasmed with it. 

Bryan licked his lips. "Who... won?" He gasped. 

Bradly cackled. "I don't know; we'll have to repeat the experiment."

"Liar!" Lydia gasped. 

Darguni dislodged himself from Lydia. He wrapped his arms around her middle and tugged her up. He buried his face in her hair. "Forgive me, I couldn't help myself." He murmured into her ear.

"I think I liked it." She whispered, as she shivered against him. 

"Um, can I stay here tonight?" Bryan blushed. 

"Of course." Bradly tugged Bryan over and captured his mouth. 

"Well, this bed isn't big enough for three of us." Lydia frowned. "I'll go to--"

"Nope." Darguni plucked her out of the bed. "You'll just have to stay in my bed." 

"Yipe!"

Bradly laughed. "Looks like that's settled." Bryan climbed up next to Bradly and curled up beside him. 

Darguni grinned and got the lights. "Night!" 

She curled up under his arm. "This is very strange." She whispered. 

"I like it." Darguni kissed her neck.



For The Whored: The Future: Ch. 14



Lydia sat on the couch and fiddled with her skirt. 

"What's up?" 

"Teach me to do anal."

Elunara blinked. "Well, then."

She blushed. "I... liked..."

"Don't have to explain." Elunara shook her head. "I will teach you this on one condition."

"Alright."

"You'll go back to training."

Lydia jolted. "What?" She shook her head. "No! I HATE it! You said that I didn't have to do ANYTHING I hated!"

"That was before you beat the shit out of one of our best trained soldiers. What you did to Bradly was nothing short of amazing. You WILL be going back, because if you can berserker rage like that... Sweetheart, you're going to kill somebody by accident. I want you to go back, and I want you to train under Grogek."

"Bwuah? Grogek?"

"He can train you in my style. When I can't train you, he can. I warn you, he's meaner, tougher, and less forgiving. You can't come and go as you please, either."

Lydia started crying. "But, I don't want to!"

"Lydia, you NEED to."

"No!" She jumped up, and ran out of the door.

Elunara sighed. "Oh, that girl..." 

Darguni dragged his hair out of his face. With a sigh, he made his way up to his favorite spot. Lydia was sitting there, arms wrapped around her legs and her forehead on her knees. He flopped down beside her. "Fancy meeting you here."

Lydia stuck her hand out. 

He took the small package out of her hand. Opening it, he blinked. "Huh?"

"It's a hair tie." She sniffled. "I got it for you." 

"Oh, hey, cool." He tugged his hair back. "I should have brought a hair brush." She stood up and got behind him, brushing his hair. Tugging it high on his head, she adjusted it to her liking. He chuckled and waited until she finished. Shaking his head back and forth he grinned. "Now that is much better."

"I see you fiddle with it a lot." She wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned forward. "I thought this would help." 

"It's awesome, thanks." He tugged her forward and covered her face in kisses. "So, tell me what's bugging you."

"Your mother wants me to go back to training."

"Well, with what you did to Bradly..."

"She wants me to train under Grogek."

He froze. "The shit?"

"She says he can train me in her style when she can't."

"Gods, my dad can be a right bastard; I don't think it's advisable. Hell, his training program is fucking wait listed. Only the best get in."

She curled up in his lap. "I don't even want to train under Jordan, why in gods would I want to train under Grogek?"

He cuddled her into his lap. "Don't do it." 

"I'm not." She grumbled. "I'll just have to learn the other thing on my own."

"What other thing?"

"Nothing." She blushed. 

"What secrets do you hide, my little love?"

"That... well, that "thing" you did last night?"

"Yeah?"

"I... I wanted her to teach me how to do it safely. I know... I know she wrote a guide on it. So, I thought that I could get lessons from her. Like she's done before." Lydia's face was on fire. 

"Oh, really?" He grinned. "Liked it that much?"

"Hush, you." 

"You know... I've read that book quite extensively..." 

"I imagine you would." She muttered.

"I could help." 

"But we don't have her tools."

"She'll let us use them. I borrow them all the time. Just follow her rules and everything is peachy."

The next day Darguni stuck his head inside the house. "Momma?"

She stuck her head over the railing. "What's up?"

"Can I borrow some tools?"

"Which ones?"

"The ones in book 64..."

"No."

"What? Why?"

"Because you're getting them for Lydia."

He blushed. "Not necessarily." 

"I'm not stupid, son. I told her that I wouldn't train her if she didn't go back to regular training. So, no."

"Mother, she's losing her goddamned mind over this. Why are you pushing her, when one of our many rules, is never force someone to do something against their will?"

"Under all other circumstances, I would have told her to quit and focus on what makes her happy... However, what she did to Bradly was no accident and you damned well know it." She disappeared. Once she came back, she had the baby in her arms. "She needs proper training, or she will kill someone by accident. We need to channel and harness it NOW or..." She shook her head. 

"I don't like seeing her cry." He said quietly. 

Elunara sighed and raked her fingers through her hair. "I don't either."

He blinked at her. "Why are you nursing?"

"Susan is dealing with Tina today. Since I can force my body to do things..."

"Ah." Moving over, he ran a finger on the baby's cheek. "I feel stupidly happy that she has a fang like mine."

She grinned. "Yeah, me too. I'm rather glad that Susan is willing to give Grogek the multiple children he wanted." 

Rubbing the infant, he considered. "The hell is wrong with me?" He murmured. 

"What's that?"

"Suddenly, I don't think children would be such a bad thing." He whispered.

"So the rumors are true."

"What rumors?"

"That you haven't had sex with anyone else since Lydia..."

He dropped his hand and stared into space. "Dear Gods, I haven't." Flopping down on the couch, he put his hand over his mouth. "I don't even want to." He whispered. 

Her eyebrows shot up. "Damn." 

"I'm ok with this." He leaned back and crossed his leg up.

"Nice hair tie, by the way."

"You like it?" He grinned. "She gave it to me." Running his hand over the ponytail, he sighed. "She even brushed my hair and put it up for me."

"How adorable." Elunara laughed. 

"I know, right?" He grinned. "I love her, Momma."

"What about Bradly?"

He sighed. "I think he loves her in his way... but I don't know. He makes her happy in his way; I make her happy in my way. If this is how it works, this is how it works. All I want... is for her to be happy." 

"You just keep that in mind, and everything will work out." She kissed his cheek. 

Lydia wandered the city with a sigh. 

"LYDIAAAAAAAA!"

She winced. "Hello, Gingy."

"I have the best dreeeeeess!" She grabbed Lydia by the arm. 

"Well, let's see it."

"Come with me, come with me!" Gingy grabbed her wrist and dragged Lydia down to her apartment. "I found this fabulous shade of blue, and I've been dying to make it into something, and then SUDDENLY inspiration hit me!"

"Oh, really?"

Gingy yanked open the door. "Your WEDDING DRESS!"

"My wha?"

"Well, you and Bradly finally found each other." Gingy gave a romantic sigh. "Oh, a love meant from childhood. It's SO beautiful!" Yanking Lydia's wrist, she continued to babble on. "And I just thought of that concert with you in that beautiful gown with the pretty wings, and I did my best to modify the design."

Lydia began to shake her head as she stepped backwards. Ignoring whatever the hell Gingy was saying, she turned and ran. 

After a moment of talking, Gingy looked back and blinked. "Lydia?" Tapping her foot, she frowned. "Perhaps I used too much lace."

Darguni hiked up the hill. Lydia was laying face first in the grass, her arms at her sides. With a grin, he lay down behind her, and propped up on his elbow. He leaned forward and kissed the back of her head. "If this is going to be a regular thing, I might have to find me a new private spot."

"I don't know what's wrong with me."

"Alright then." He rubbed a hand on her back. "It's enough to just spend time with you."

"Gingy made me a wedding dress." She muttered. 

He froze. "What?"

She turned over and scooted up close to him. Instinctively he wrapped his arm around her back. "I didn't ask her to, it was just something she did. She was babbling on about me marrying Bradly. It kind of upset me, and I couldn't figure out why." She sighed and rubbed her forehead on his chest. "I can't marry you both, can I?"

Darguni suddenly understood his father's expression of "heart soars". "Well," He croaked. He coughed and started over. "Our mother is married to three men and a woman. I fail to see what's wrong with it."

"I know Bradly has always wanted to marry me, gods, it slips out of his mouth every ten minutes." She muttered. "But, what about you?"

Licking his lips, he chose his words carefully. "To be honest, marriage was never on my table... I was so busy trying to lure all the pretty women to my bed."

"Oh."

He hugged her tightly. "Lydia, I haven't bedded another woman since we started this mess."

Her head jerked up. "What?"

"I didn't think about it until it was pointed out to me, but no... I don't really want them." He ran his hand over his head and across his ponytail. "I keep wondering if eventually I will want them again. Wondering if maybe, once we settled into an old routine, that perhaps I would start looking around. So, I haven't given the conversation a proper thought. I don't want to hurt you Lydia, but I know how much like my mother I am. 

Gods, you just mention the word and my heart leaps out of my throat and does a happy dance, but the thought of hurting you..." He shook his head. "I would love to, but I don't want to break your heart, and I don't want to kill a side of me that I felt I haven't explored yet."

"Like Elunara and Grogek." She whispered. 

"Yeah." He sighed. "It feels so selfish, when... If you told me to, I would break that part. I would break it and ignore it in favor of making you happy, but Gods I'm scared."

"It's enough that you'd try."

"Huh?" 

She scooted up higher and brushed her lips on his. "It's enough that you'd be willing to. I don't want you to be unhappy. If Elunara and Grogek can make it work, then so could we. But, like Elunara... you have to be honest, and tell me when you do."

A little while later, they cuddled in the grass, comfortably naked. 

"Did you ever get the stuff from Elunara?" She mumbled.

He winced. "No."

"That's fine." She cuddled under his arm. "I can wait."

"It's... not a matter of waiting." 

"Huh?"

He closed his eyes. "She won't even let me borrow them now... she knows you want them, and won't let me take them unless you join training again."

"WHAT?" Lydia jolted up. 

"Baby, I kind of agree with her..." 

She scrambled up and yanked on her clothes. 

"Baby, wait! Please!" He grabbed her wrist. "It's important!"

Yanking free, she bolted.

He put his head in his hands. "Shit." 

Lydia sat in the amphitheater, curled up behind the curtain. She certainly didn't feel like singing. She was sort of surprised to not have come across Bryan. She wondered if he was with Bradly. Bradly. She laughed to herself. She was supposed to be HIS girlfriend, and she spent all of her time with Darguni. What was she doing? She buried her face in her knees. 

"I'm telling you, it's bullshit."

Lydia's ears perked up. 

"Well, it's certainly not fair." The other voice snorted. "I was freaking THERE when he pried the little trollop off and shoved her out the door."

"What does she have on him?"

"Who knows? They've been together since they were little kids. She could have anything against him."

"Something needs to be done about her."

The voices faded away. 

Lydia shivered, and it wasn't the cold. 



For The Whored: The Future: Ch. 15



"Momma, I can't find her." 

"I haven't seen her all day either." Bradly sighed. 

"You were a little tangled up with Bryan." Darguni snorted. 

Bradly blushed. "Yeah, it's... a little weird, but I'm liking it more than I thought I would." He sighed. "It doesn't mean I'm not worried about her."

"Should we search for her?" Darguni bit his thumbnail. "I mean, she's not Tina... she can take care of herself."

Elunara sighed. "We can't force that girl to do a damned thing. If she doesn't show up by tomorrow..." 

Lydia jolted. Bleary eyed, she looked around and belatedly remembered she was still back stage. She stood up and stretched out the kinks in her body. Peeking out of the curtain, she realized how ridiculously dark it was. Quiet as a mouse, she made her way through the city. 

An arm shot out of the darkness and wrapped around her neck. With a growl, she slammed the back of her head into her assailant's nose. He stumbled back and she grabbed him by the throat, slamming him into the wall. "Fucking asshole." She slammed him back repeatedly; until she was satisfied he was out. Grabbing him by an arm, she dragged him down the alley way until she found a guard. "Dispose of this asshole." 

The guard blinked down at the mangled mess. "Uh?"

"He attacked me. Worthless bastard." She turned and continued on. With painful slowness, she opened the front door, tiptoed up the stairs and made her way into the top floor where her room was. Slipping out of her clothes, she climbed in bed and passed out.

Elunara sighed and went back to sleep. 

The next morning, Lydia paced her room and considered her options. Looking out the window, she considered the distance. When she heard the sound of footsteps up the staircase, she didn't hesitate to jump. 

Elunara looked out of the window and sighed at the figure running away from the house. This was not how you dealt with problems. 

"Momma, I haven't seen her in over a week and I'm starting to lose my marbles." Darguni sat down and raked his fingers through his hair. 

She tapped her pencil on her board. "I find it fascinating, how Bradly is "oh, Lydia is just being a pain" and you're worried out of your mind." 

"And you're sure she comes home at night?"

"She sleeps here, and then sneaks back out."

"But, WHY?" 

"Because she's avoiding the truth. Every adult in this house agrees that she needs to train again. She doesn't want to face us." 

He fiddled with his ponytail. "Not even me?" He whimpered. 

"Especially you. You agreed with her, and now you don't. That has to hurt."

Lydia lightly pounded the back of her head against the wall. She hated hiding in the dark. Desperately, she wanted to be on the hill. She couldn't do it. She just couldn't do it.

"Lydia?" Darguni called. 

Slipping through the back entrance, she bolted. She wandered through the back alleys, careful to not be spotted by anyone she knew. 

"Oh, look who it is." 

She froze. With a sigh, Lydia looked back. "Hello, Tara... Ember... Jyca and Louise..." 

"You know, we're getting really sick of you."

"I don't think you understand the situation." Lydia shook her head. 

"Oh, we understand it plenty." Tara put her hands on her hips. "It's complete bullshit that you've taken the best dick in the whole city for yourself."

"You DO realize there's a person attached to that dick, right?"

"Unimportant." Jyca waved a hand. "He's OURS."

"Wow, you guys are dumb as shit." Lydia snorted.

"Whatever you've done," Tara interrupted. "We're here to fix it."

"Yeah!" Ember growled. 

"You guys are worthless." Lydia shook her head. 

"No, you're worthless." Tara crossed her arms. "Everyone knows the only person in this stupid city who gives a shit about you is Bradly, and he's spent all of his time with a GUY. How pathetic is it that you weren't even replaced by the same gender? So of course you had to blackmail Darguni. "

Lydia's breathing quickened and she balled her fist. "You take that back." She growled. 

"Ooo, hit a nerve!" Tara sneered. "Just like the little deformed shit you used to be, before you came back from Draenor. But we all know that you've spent your whole life with that Elunara bitch. There's no telling how dirty THAT pussy is."

Something inside Lydia snapped, and she dove. 

Hearing a scream, Darguni raced to find it. He was desperate to make sure Lydia was ok. The first woman ran out and he blinked. She just pointed, and he went into the alley way. Lydia had a pair of women by the hair and was pounding their heads into a wall. He didn't stop to think, he just dove on Lydia. She began to hiss and claw, her fist hitting him in the mouth and her nails raking down his cheek. 

He pulled her away.

"SHE'S COMPLETELY CRAZY!" Tara screeched. 

"Lydia!" He yelled in her ear. "I know you're in there!" She struggled against him, even as he clamped his arms over hers. "Baby, I know you're in there! Come back to me!" Her eyes rolled up in her head and she went still. He grabbed the sides of her head. "Baby?" He whimpered. 

"Ugh. My head." Sometime later, Lydia groaned and put a hand to her forehead. She jolted up in her bed. "Darguni! What happened to your face?" She held her hands up to him. 

"You did." 

Lydia frowned at Elunara. "What?"

"THIS is exactly why I said you need to go back to training." She gestured to Darguni's face. "I haven't healed him yet, because I needed you to see exactly what you are capable of." 

Lydia shrank back. "No."

"Lydia... why? Why did you go nuts on them?"

Tears streamed down her face. "They said such mean things about you and Elunara." She sniffled. "They're just so pissed off that I "took your dick" from them. They..." She curled up and cried. 

"Oh, Baby..." He tugged her into his lap. "You don't have to defend me." 

"I couldn't help it. Then when Tara said that about Elunara..." She shook her head. "I lost it." 

"Said what about me?" Elunara cocked her head to the side.

"That..." She swallowed. "Well, I don't remember exact wording, but the indication is that... you and I... well,"

"Blurt it and go."

"That there was no way to know how dirty your... pussy was."

Elunara cackled. "Here I was hoping for a creative insult." She shook her head. Holding up a box, she passed it to Lydia. Frowning, Lydia held up the two pieces of her staff. "It couldn't be repaired and still be structurally sound. I had them cleaned up and polished off. Now they're two pieces. After seeing your skill against Bradly, I've decided that these are a better weapon for you. I've already installed the box next to Darguni's. I will do your tattoos immediately. 

"Thank you."

"You WILL attend training first thing in the morning, Grogek will be expecting you.

"But!"

"DO YOU NOT SEE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO BOTH OF MY SONS?" Elunara swung her hand. 

Lydia shrank back against Darguni's chest. 

He wrapped his arms around her. "You should have seen what you did to those women..."

"You will show your ass up to training, or so help me..."

"How many times can you count, seeing my mother so angry?" He asked quietly. 

Lydia buried her face in his chest. "Fine." 

Elunara crossed her arms. "You're Grogek's problem now." 

After, Lydia curled up under Darguni's arm as they lay in his bed. "I really don't want to go."

"Don't worry, Baby. I'll be there. I've been training under my dad since I was eleven."

She ran her fingers on the faint scars on his cheek. "I hate that I did that to you." 

"Eh, it's fine." He pushed her over and laid his hands on either side of her head. "I know how you can make it up to me." He grinned. 

"Always so horny." She sighed. "No wonder those chicks thought you were a dick without a body."

He blinked at her. "Tara said that?"

"They all did." She licked his chin. "But I know the difference."

Scooting her skirt up, he grinned. "I'll show you what both can do."

"Give me. I want you." She whispered. 

He tugged himself out of his pants, and slipped neatly into her. "Gods, you're so tight, yet so perfect." 

She wrapped her legs up around his waist. "Give me all I can take." She gasped. 

"With pleasure." He growled. 

When they finished, cuddling her underneath the blankets, he licked her shoulder. "I wonder what else I--"

Bradly opened the door and blinked. "Oh, you found her."

Darguni sat up. ""Oh, you found her?" "OH, YOU FOUND HER?" Is THAT all you have to say on the matter?"

Lydia sat up and tugged on Darguni's arm. "It's not that big a deal."

"It IS that big a deal! You've been hiding for over a week, worrying me out of my MIND, only to turn up in a rage fit, and all he has to say on the matter is "Oh, you found her"?!"

"Lydia does weird shit all the time." Bradly shrugged. "If you've been chasing her around like I have, near my whole life... you'd KNOW that." 

"So you haven't worried about her freaking mental health this whole fucking week?"

"Nah, I knew she'd get over it and come back." 

Darguni was out of the bed in an instant and punched Bradly in the face. "HOW DARE YOU!"

Bradly shoved Darguni back. "The fuck is your problem? I KNOW her, and YOU DON'T!" 

"You ASSHOLE!" Lydia screamed. 

"Baby, I..."

"NOT YOU! HIM!" She jerked her finger at Bradly. "I spent the last week sleeping in the goddamned amphitheater because I thought nobody gave a damn about me! The only person who even TRIED to find me was Darguni, and you have the fucking NERVE to claim YOU know ME?" 

"Oh, Baby, I'm so so--"

"THE FUCK IS GOING ON DOWN THERE?" Elunara leaned over the stair banister. "You woke the baby!"

"Oh, Gods, dad is going to kill me." Darguni groaned. 

"Bradly didn't even BOTH ER to try and find me or HELP me, because he figured I'd "just get over it", and come back on my own."

"Bradly, you're a shit head." 

"But!"

"No. Sleep up here tonight."

Bradly growled. "FINE!" He stomped up the stairs. 

"I'll deal with all of you later. Now, I have to help Susan." 

Darguni wrapped his arms around Lydia. "I'm so sorry, Baby. I tried--"

She put a hand over his mouth. "I know you did." 

He sighed. "Let's get some sleep, tomorrow is going to suck." 

The next day, Lydia flopped down on the hill. "Ugh, I'm so tired." She whimpered. "How do you survive?"

He sighed and leaned back. "Eleven years? Well, he's always been a beast, but at least he built up over the years." Darguni chugged the water bottle, before passing it over. 

"I'm going to die." She whimpered. 

With a chuckle, he kissed her forehead. "I won't let you." 

"I hate pants." She mumbled. 

"I could always help you deal with those." He winked. 

"Too tired."

"You can lay there and take what I give you." He licked his lips. 

"I hate that you two aren't talking over me." She whispered. 

Sighing, he ran his hand over her belly. "I've always known my brother can be thick in the head... but to not care about your welfare..." He shook his head and put his arms on his knees. "Twelve years he's chased you. And once he has you, he doesn't even care. I don't understand it."

She sighed. "He went from being my annoying little brother, to a dick who doesn't give a damn. I don't understand it either."

Bradly paced back and forth. "I don't fucking GET her!" 

Bryan sighed and wished he had Elunara's speed. "It would hurt my feelings too, if you didn't at least check on me. It was cruel of you to ignore her when she was so upset."

"Ugh, not you TOO! My mother wringed my neck for damned near an hour this afternoon."

"You worshipped her, desired her, wanted everything in this world to let you BE with her, and when you finally get her... Well, you ignore her through her first major crisis. Darguni was there, and you weren't... it's no wonder she took his side."

Bradly's mouth dropped open.

"It's no wonder she thought you were an annoying brother... if, when she HAD these issues, you ignored her then too." Bryan shook his head. "If you want her to BE with YOU so badly, then why can't you just BE there for HER?"

Bradly dropped into a chair and held his head. "I'm an asshole." 

Lydia lay on the bed and groaned. "Your hands are magic."

Darguni laughed. "After awhile, you pick up a few things." He rubbed at the knots on her back. 

"You keep at that, I'll do whatever you ask." She sighed.

"Well, I do know this fascinating position..." 

"I'm sorry."

Darguni looked back and put his hands on his hips. "Excuse me?"

Bradly raked his fingers through his hair. "I'm sorry I didn't care, and I'm fully aware that makes me a complete asshole."

"That's the understatement of the year, Bradly." Lydia snorted. She scooted around Darguni.

He sighed. "I am stupid. All I've ever wanted was you, and I finally get you and I ignore you. Taking advantage of finally having all I've ever wanted, as if you'd just be there for me, as I've just been there for you." Rubbing his neck, he sighed again. "Then someone made me understand... I've never actually BEEN there for you. You've had these things before, and I just waited them out. I never once bothered to find out if you were alright." He flopped down on the bed. 

Lydia sighed. "Neither of you have. Granted, this time Darguni did... but previously? Only my..." She swallowed. "Only my mother and Elunara tried to help me." She fidgeted. "Well, Darguni has been there now." She whispered. 

He put his hand on her shoulder and kissed the top of her head.

"Yeah, I get that." Bradly sighed. "Darguni is better at the relationship thing than I am." He brushed his hair back. "So, yeah... Darguni DOES love you more than I do, because I have no concept of how to treat someone I love." 

"Oh, Bradly." Lydia sighed and brushed her hair out of her face. "Maybe we should teach you."

Both men blinked at her. 

"Well, I want to love you, that much is true." She sighed. "You make it so difficult to do. I'll freely admit that the only reason I even GAVE you a shot, were the beautiful things you said about me that day, and then how amazing it was to kiss you, how much I loved having your body in my hands." She held her hands up. "That's not love. That's lust. Pure freaking lust. So maybe I don't understand how to love you either." 

"We're a terrible pair." Bradly frowned. 

Darguni sat down and sighed. "So, now what?"

Lydia wiggled her way into Darguni's arms. "You I love." She whispered. 

"All I want... is for you to be happy." Bradly ran his hands over his face. "I said that from the beginning. That even if it wasn't me who made you happy, that I wanted you to be happy. Strangely, I'm not even sad about this arrangement." 

"Good, cause I want her to marry me."

Lydia jolted. "What?"

"If you'll have me." He murmured. 

"Oh!" She blushed. "Um, Gingy already has me a dress."

"Would you let me be the best man?" Bradly grinned. 

"You're my brother; of course you're my best man." Darguni grinned. 

"I... have a strangely pressing question." Lydia blushed.

"What, love?" Darguni rubbed his chin on her head. 

"Uh, so about those threesomes?" 

Both men cackled. "I think we can still have those." Darguni snorted. 

"Just not tonight, I'm freaking exhausted." She groaned.

The next day, Bradly knocked on the door and waited. 

"Oh! Come in." Bryan blushed. 

"I thought I should tell you..." Bradly stepped in and looked around. "I had a talk with Lydia last night."

Bryan went back to putting away dishes. "And?"

"Well," He scratched the back of his head. "She's marrying Darguni." 

Bryan stared at Bradly as the plate shattered on the floor. 

"I know, right?" Bradly started picking up the pieces. "It's a little weird, because we've all sort of agreed to still have sex with each other, but that me and her? Don't "love" each other the way we probably should. I've already been spending most of my time with you... now it's just kind of official." 

"Oh, I'm so sorry... I know how much--"

"No." He shook his head. "No, don't. I loved the idea of her. But I didn't give myself to her."

Blushing, Bryan dumped the last bit of the plate into the basket. "So, what does that mean...?"

"Technically, I still feel like I'm attracted to women, but I'd spent so much of my time on Lydia, I fail to see any other woman in such a way. I was hoping that... you'd let me figure out our relationship."

"I'd very much like that." 

"Good." Bradly tugged Bryan into his embrace. "Because I rather like what we have going. Though..." He ran his fingers through Bryan's hair. "I have to ask if you mind the weird little sexual arrangement the other two have."

"No. Of course not, I've been benefitting from it." He laughed. 

"Cool." He brushed his lips against Bryan's. "So... what do you want to do today?"



For The Whored: The Future: Ch. 16



Lydia collapsed on the platform. "I HATE IT HERE!" 

Darguni chuckled and rubbed her back. "I'm sorry."

"Some of us actually WANT to be here, you whiny pain in the ass." One of the soldiers snorted.

"Fuck you very much!" Lydia flipped him off. 

"Dude, leave off. Lydia doesn't have a choice." Darguni frowned. 

"Fucking bullshit that most of us had to bust our asses to be considered, and SHE gets in because she's fucking the trainer's SON!" 

"Bart, shut the fuck up about things you don't understand." Darguni ran his fingers through Lydia's hair. 

"Ugh, I don't even care." Lydia whimpered. "He can hate me all day long. Hell, I hate me all day long." She snorted.

"Aw, Baby." 

"Kill me."

"Not a chance." He chuckled. "Besides, we haven't even told anybody our big decision."

"Bleh." 

"What decision?" Grogek snorted. 

"Lydia has agreed to marry me." Darguni grinned. 

Grogek's eyebrows shot up. "Bradly?"

"I think you can claim we broke up." Lydia grumbled. 

Grogek just blinked. "I'll be damned."

"Right?" Darguni chuckled. "She's all mine now." 

"Fuuuuuuck. I need to talk to Gingy. I just kind of left her there."

"Yes you did!"

Lydia rolled over and stared up at Gingy. "I love the dress."

Gingy clasped her hands together. "REALLY?"

"Yeah, I kind of freaked out, sorry."

"You don't think I put too much lace?"

"How about later... when I can feel my spine again... I go and try the thing on and we can discuss it."

Gingy made a loud shrieky noise that had half the training yard jumping in alarm. "Oh, we'll make a DAY of it! I'll make those fancy little sandwiches and we can talk bips and bops and all the details. I assume you have a tailor for Bradly?"

"I'm not marrying him."

"Well, of course you are."

"No. She's not." 

Gingy blinked at Bradly. "What?"

"She's marrying Darguni." 

"But... why?"

"Because I love him." Lydia sighed. "Isn't that how it's supposed to work?"

Gingy considered for only a moment. "Oh, whatever. A wedding's a wedding." 

"Oh, Gods, kill me." Lydia whimpered. 

"You'll want Ina's help."

Lydia looked up at Elunara. "Yeah, I guess."

"Ever since Darguni was born, she's wanted a crack at hosting his wedding. You better let her."

"Of course." Darguni grinned. "I also want Momma Tuly to do my ceremonial vestments like dad's."

Elunara looked over. "Sugarbear? Is that a tear I spot?"

He licked his teeth. "Might be." 

Lydia put her hands over her face and groaned. "Why is no one ending my misery?"

Darguni bent down and whispered. "I just like hearing you groan." 

She put a hand to his face and pushed him away. "Horndog."

"Just like his mother." Grogek laughed. 

After training was over, Darguni carried Lydia.

"So, why are you carrying me?" 

"Cause I feel like it." 

"Where are you carrying me?"

"Home."

"Going to rub my back?"

"Eventually." 

"Now I'm just suspicious." 

"You'll like it, I promise." 

"If you say so." Lydia got comfortable. "Is anyone home?"

"Momma says no." He sat her on the couch. "Stay."

She sighed. "Fine. Not like I feel like going anywhere." She laid her head back and stared at the demon skull hanging from the ceiling. 

After a moment, he came back naked, and tugged her clothes off. 

"Oh, I see how it is."

"I doubt you do." He scooped her up and carried her through the back room. 

"I don't think I've ever been in here."

"You'd know if you did." He grinned. 

"Why is... oh, wow." She blinked at the massive tub. 

He slipped her into the hot water. 

"Oh, gods that feels good." She moaned and laid her head back. "I didn't know your family had their own hot tub."

He slipped in beside her. "Oh, yeah. It's pretty awesome." He cuddled her into his lap. "How else do you think we stay all limber and such?" He licked her shoulder. 

"How come I've never seen it before?"

"Have to get prior permission from mom AND dad first." His hands cupped her breasts. "Plus there's a ritual and a dozen rules and things. 

"Ah." She snuggled against him. "You know, I might consider making you stop in like... a week."

He giggled and slipped his fingers between her legs. "There's more to do in this fun little tub." 

"Is that so?" She gasped. Writhing under his attentions, she reached back and wrapped her arm around his neck. "How many lucky women have been in here?"

"None." He snorted. "I told you, it requires both parents, and there's a ritual before and after. No one has been worth trying it out."

"Well, then I'm hoNORed." She gasped. His fingers pounded in and out of her. Grabbing her hip, he tugged her backwards and slipped her over his erection. "Gods this water is amazing." She gasped. "Even while you do that, the tension is melting out." She groaned. "Don't stop."

"I don't intend to." He whispered. "I have use of the tub for the next three hours."

Her eyes went wide. "So long?"

"I have plans." 

After, she sat on the edge of the tub and watched him clean the thing. "I have to admit. That tub does wonders." 

"Isn't it awesome?"

"But why must you scrub it like that?"

"Mother's rules. She doesn't want anything tainting the waters. 

"Maybe next time I'll help." She sighed. "Right now I'm just happy to be feeling normal for the first time in weeks."

He grinned. "I'll keep that in mind."

The next day, Elunara handed Lydia a small package. 

"Huh?"

"You're not pregnant now, so you're going to need these in the next few days."

"Oh! I forgot you track that." Lydia blushed.

"Not like I want to." Elunara snorted. 

"Um, Darguni?"

"Yeah, Babe?"

"Elunara points out good point... I'm due to start my period soon." She blushed.

"Aw, that's fine." He kissed her temple. "Just let me know."

Days later, Lydia collapsed to the ground, desperate for air. "It hurts." She whimpered. 

Darguni started forward. 

Grogek's hand shot out and grabbed the back of Darguni's armor. "STAY OUT OF IT!"

"Dad, please. She's hurting. She shouldn't even be down here right now."

"Gods, get your head out of your pants." He snarled. "She needs to be down here just the same as anybody in my training regimen. I don't tolerate slackers."

"It's not a good week for her." Darguni growled.

"Do you think I CARE? How many women do you see in my regimen?"

Darguni snarled "Four others."

"Do you think I let THEM have a week off?" He yanked Darguni to him. "NO! MY soldiers are the best of the best and I don't GIVE A DAMN about their female cycles. If THEY can be here, then so can SHE."

"SHE NEVER ASKED TO BE HERE!" He shoved his dad. "YOU ALL MADE HER!"

Grogek punched Darguni in the head hard enough to knock him back. "YOU DEFY ME?"

"I HATE YOU!" Everyone stared back at Lydia, still crumpled on the ground. She flexed her hands and summoned her batons. "I HATE YOU!" She launched. 

Grogek shoved Darguni out of the way and summoned his axe. Lightning fast, Lydia went after Grogek, landing blow after blow. Used to Elunara's fighting style, he was able to block most of her hits, but where she did manage to get him, hurt like hell. He knocked her down, but she still managed to get back up. He pinned her with his axe, but she was able to shake it off. She continued to scream "I hate you" over and over again. Several soldiers tried to jump in, but she dodged them effortlessly, and focused solely on Grogek. 

Hearing the noise, Elunara dropped her things and bolted for the training yard.

"Gods, Baby... what's happening to you?" Darguni shook his head. "BABY! PLEASE! STOP!"

"She's beyond pleading. We have to bring her down!"

Darguni summoned his axe. "I don't want to do this." He dove in between them and blocked her next shot with his own axe. Together they kept Lydia back, and prevented her from landing more blows, but they couldn't make her stop. 

Elunara dove into the training ring and managed to get behind Lydia, putting her hand to the back of Lydia's head. Lydia went down in an instant.

Darguni dismissed his axe and ran to her side. "Oh, my poor love..." He scooped her up. "What's happening to you?"

Lydia groaned and put her hand to her head. Looking around, she jolted up. 

"Well, you're awake."

Elunara sat in a chair, working on her board. 

"What?"

"You should know; Darguni has been making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches like the possessed. I've eaten most of them so they don't sit and rot."

"I don't... understand." 

"You've been unconscious for four days. Do you remember why?"

"I..." She held her head. "It's fuzzy, but I remember Darguni trying to protect me, and... I was just so angry that Grogek was being such a dick." 

"You're awake!" Darguni scooted over and put the tray in her lap. "It's lunch time... so..." He blushed.

She put a hand to his cheek. "You're always so sweet." 

He grinned at her. "Eat."

Lydia put the sandwich in her mouth. 

Darguni sat on the small bed and ran his fingers through her hair. "I was so worried."

Elunara switched sheets and captured the adorable scene. "Is that all you remember?"

"Yes." Lydia leaned against Darguni's hand. 

"Momma, what's happening to her?"

Elunara sighed. "I finally sensed it when I knocked her out. You see, I think that... all of those times that I had to go through such extreme measures to save her life... I've been giving her a piece of myself. Now she has a backlog of all that I am, without the control I've developed all these years." 

"But why hasn't it come out before?"

"I suspect that it has to do with your staff. I gave that to you, and it became the most important thing you've ever owned. On top of that, you quit training. Any of it that may have surfaced before, was dealt with in training, or because you had the training to deal with it. When you slowly backed away, you lost the ability to keep it in check. When the staff broke, something inside of you snapped... and it's been uncontrollable ever since." 

"Oh."

"Those girls said some really awful things about the ones you love... didn't they?" Elunara asked quietly. 

"At first they were stupid, jealous, and petty. Then they..." Lydia closed her eyes.

Darguni brushed his fingers on her cheek.

"I wanted them dead." Lydia's eyes went hard. "I knew... I abso-fucking-lutely knew that you and Tara had a bit of a thing... she bragged endlessly about that day in the shower... and here she is... saying such horrible things..." Lydia buried her face in her hands. 

Darguni slipped the tray into the floor, before scooping Lydia into his arms.

"I've rearranged my schedule."

"Huh?" Lydia blinked at Elunara.

"Not only will you return to Grogek's training, you'll be double teaming it with me."

"But..."

"No. You've beat the shit out of my sons AND my husband. We're not reaching you fast enough."

Lydia struggled to get out of Darguni's grasp. "NO! NO! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANY MORE."

Darguni clamped his arms around her. "Baby, please don't cry."

"I want to die." She whimpered, as tears streamed down her face. "I just want to die."

"Baby, no." He whispered in horror.

Elunara stood up. "I'll leave you two alone for now." She went down the stairs. 

Lydia curled up against Darguni and shivered. "I can't do this." 

"I'm so sorry, Baby. I don't know how to make them see."

Elunara walked into her bedroom and climbed into bed. 

Grogek blinked at her. "Love?"

"She's awake. I told her what we've decided, and now I think I have to put her on freaking suicide watch."

"What?" Grogek sat his book down. 

She climbed into his lap and curled up. "She..." Elunara rubbed her throat. "She'd rather die than go back to training." 

He wrapped his arms around her. "That's... that's extremely concerning." 

"Gods, I can't..." She put a hand to her mouth.

"Love, don't cry." 

"I can't lose her. She's my daughter in every way that matters, and I've tried so hard for her. She makes my baby SO happy, I can't... I don't know how else to help her. It's my own fault she even has this beast in her, and now I have to teacher her how to control it. I don't know what else to do." 

"You'll think of something, my love." 

"Your bed is too small."

Lydia sniffled. "Huh?"

Darguni scooped her up. "We're going to my bed."

"I guess once we get married, we have to move out." Lydia shivered. 

"That's a really good question. Maybe we could convince them to let us move into the tower room." He rubbed his cheek on her forehead. "See? You don't want to die. We can't get married if you do." 

"I don't want to train. I hate it so much."

"I know, my love." He sighed. "We'll figure it out. So, I was thinking, that for our honeymoon, we could do what Momma and Momma Tuly did, and make love in every major city." He grinned 

She laughed. "Horndog."

"I'm not hearing a no." He winked. 

"Was I really out for four days?"

He laid her in his bed. "Yes."

"That..." She looked down. "I guess that took care of the period." She wrinkled her nose. "I probably made a mess."

"Momma kept you cleaned up and taken care of." 

"Oh." Lydia said quietly.

He knelt in front of her. "She loves you, you know. She would do anything for you. This is new to her and she doesn't know how to help it. Maybe if you cooperate for awhile, she'll find something better." 

She wrapped her arms around his neck. "I'm just so damned tired." 

"I know, Baby." He brushed her hair out of her face. "You can borrow my strength." 

Lydia groaned and put a hand to her head. It was late, but she couldn't figure out the hour. She tried to scoot to the edge, but Darguni had her pinned. She wiggled and struggled but his grip only tightened. "Darguni!" She hissed. 

He mumbled something and tightened his grip. 

"Let me up!" She whacked him in the shoulder. "Seriously."

"Huh?" He blinked at her. "wazwrong?"

"I need to pee, damn you."

"Sorry." 

She wiggled out of bed and ran for the bathroom. On the way out, she blinked. "Elunara?"

Elunara sighed and rocked Tilly. "Baby woke up; I figured I'd get her. It helps."

"Helps what?"

"I found out, when Darguni was a baby, that when I get upset, holding my children helps me. Only one of you lunatics was actually born from my body, but it works just the same."

Lydia sat on the couch. "You lunatics?"

"You're just as much my child as any of the others." She ran her hand down the back of Lydia's hair. "I'm glad you're marrying my son." 

"Kind of weird how that worked out." Lydia blushed. 

"Yeah, it's funny how that works." She sighed. "Lydia, I don't like seeing you upset. If I had my way, all of you would be happy all of the time, but that's not how it works. You reach a point in which you have to do awful things, just to pass on by. I don't want to force you into training, because I know how miserable you are. I don't want that. I feel so incredibly guilty, because I know this is my fault. I... put this creature in your body, and now I must teach you how to control it, before you kill someone you love."

Lydia shuddered. "It hurts. It hurts so damned much. I can't... I can't keep this up. I can't go from not training, to training under the meanest taskmaster in our army. Not only that, I can literally FEEL the hate radiating out from the other soldiers."

"Wait, you feel it?"

"It's like lying in the sun for hours, and then waking up to the mother of all sun burns. Except, it all the time."

"Hold." Elunara shoved Tilly in Lydia's arms. 

"Bwah?" Lydia juggled the baby into place.

Elunara stood up and put her hands on Lydia's shoulders. Concentrating her abilities, she searched Lydia's body.

"Oh, that feels nice." Lydia murmured. She cuddled the baby. "Aren't you a sweet one?" She murmured as the baby reached up and put her hands on Lydia's face. "Is love all you know?" She rocked her back and forth. "You're right." Lydia smiled. "The baby does help."

"Holy shit." Elunara broke the contact. "It's so much simpler than that."

Lydia blinked up. "Yeah, what?"

"New theory." Elunara stooped down and put her chin on Lydia's shoulder. "You're absorbing the hate and anger from those around you, and when it manifests... You were being attacked by those little bitches when you lost it... you were being reamed by Grogek when you snapped on him..."

"Jordan had reamed my ass for several days straight when I decided to quit..."

"You're quitting training."

"Oh, thank the gods." Lydia gasped. 

"I need to work with you on emotional control and filtering. Pushing you into training is just going to cause you to explode." Elunara began pacing back and forth. "I created you; it is me who needs to train you. If we can get you focused on positives, on love and affection, we can supplement the training on the hate and anger. If we can reduce negative feelings towards you..."

"Momma! I can't fi--" Darguni blinked. "Oh, there you are."

"Kiss the man!" Elunara pointed.

"What?"

Elunara scooped Tilly out of Lydia's arms. "Kiss the man, dammit." 

"Don't have to tell me twice." Darguni scooped Lydia up and proceeded to kiss her like a maniac. 

Elunara put a hand on Lydia's arm. "It's THERE! I feel it!"

"What's there, momma?"

"I gave Lydia my energy absorption by accident. Except, she's been taking in all of the BAD emotions. I have to retrain her body to pick out the good instead."

"It's just that simple?"

"That simple AND that complicated." Elunara shook her head. "She can quit training." 

"Oh. Oh, that's fantastic!" Darguni cuddled Lydia. 

"In fact, she NEEDS to start singing again. I think if we can flood her with positive emotions, we can start undoing the damage of the negative emotions." Elunara twitched for her board, even as she cuddled the baby.

Darguni snorted. "So... sex...?"

Elunara looked back. "It's a piece of me, remember?"

He licked his lips. "I guess I should get started then." 

Lydia blushed. "Oh, you."

"Oh, Lydia?"

"Yes, ma'am?"

"You should reconsider your stance on babies." Elunara began to jog up the stairs. "Good night... morning... whatever the hell time it is."

Darguni looked down. "What does she mean?"

"Well," Lydia licked her lips. "I originally asked Elunara to... break me."

"What?" He squeaked. 

She winced at the instant tears in his eyes. "She refuses until I'm in my thirties." She snorted. "But, earlier, when I held Tilly..." Rubbing her cheek on his chest, she sighed. "It was the best thing ever." 

"Really?" He breathed. 

"We'll discuss it." She snorted. 

"I'll take it!" He jogged her back to his room.



For The Whored: The Future: Ch. 17



"Alright, tell me what you feel."

Lydia closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Without opening her eyes, she pointed. "They hate me. All of them."

"How many?"

"I want to say twelve."

"Move on." 

"Darguni is there."

"Why?"

"Because I feel him. When he is working, I can feel the energy off of him, but I can also feel this weird little spark, I guess he's thinking of me? Maybe."

"Continue."

"Bradly is there."

"Why?"

"When we were teenagers, he always felt sort of smothering. I knew he was there before he was there, even if I didn't know why. It's changed recently. More gradual."

"Keep going." 

"Someone... someone likes me over there." She frowned. "Like Bradly used to be, kind of smothering."

"Can you find Grogek?"

"Umm, I think he's over there."

"Why?" 

"Well, its back to normal, I guess normal is... light hearted? Does that make sense?"

"You're just another one of my children to him. Find Jordan." 

"Jordan is there."

"Why?"

"Annoyance. He doesn't hate me, he doesn't love me. I just annoy the shit out of him, because I wasted his time in training."

"What did Grogek feel like when I made you train?"

"Like I was being beaten with bricks." Lydia dropped her arm and sighed. "I really am like you."

"That you are." She tapped her board. "I thought that the way to fix you was to teach you control through force. Realistically, we have to teach you control through energy. See, in my body, someone actively hating me is nothing. I don't absorb it; I can barely even feel it. With you, your past is so... shady, that it manifested into negativity." 

"So, I don't have to fight any more?" Lydia rubbed her chest. 

"You've already proven that your fighting ability is actually above par. Forcing you to fight is only fueling the negative absorption. These people openly thought that you didn't deserve to be in their ranks, and so their anger was channeled at you; feeding that part that snaps. We remove you from their line of fire, and they'll turn that anger into avoidance. Really, the best situation in this instance." 

"I'll take it." Lydia muttered. 

"How's it going?" Darguni put his arms on the platform. 

"Fabulous." Lydia snorted. "I don't have to fight and that's good enough for me." She leaned down and kissed the top of his head. 

He tugged her down to his mouth. "We need to figure out when I can finally marry you." 

Lydia smacked her forehead. "I forgot to bug Ina."

"Take her some banana bread." Elunara grinned. "Though I doubt she'll require it."

"Fascinating." 

Everyone looked up at Varian. "Hey, Sugarlove."

"So, after all said and done, Darguni is dating Lydia?" His eyebrow shot up. 

"She's marrying me." Darguni grinned. 

Varian's eyes were wide. "Really now? When?"

"Soonish?" Lydia shrugged. "I have to get Ina to help me plan."

"Well, I hope you do it in front of the Keep." Varian grinned. "I can't wait to see one of my wife's sons married off." 

Lydia ran all the way to the healer's building. "Ina!"

"What's the emergency?"

Lydia dropped the box. "Please accept this banana bread as bribery for planning Darguni's and my wedding." She bowed. 

Ina made a noise somewhere between a shriek and a gasp. "Oh, I thought this day would never come!" She gestured, and Lydia stooped down. Ina wrapped Lydia in a hug. "And you're the one to do it!" She wiped her face. "Ok, when and where?"

"Um, soon, and at the foot of the giant statue in front of the keep."

Lydia was almost shocked at how soon she and Darguni were holding hands at the base of the statue. The entire city had been done up to celebrate the marriage of Queen Elunara's birth son and adopted daughter. She could feel the heat burn from some of the women in the crowd. The dancing went long into the night, and by time they got home, Lydia was exhausted. 

"I'm glad she gave us the top level, but I'm wiped."

Darguni scooped her up. "Well, I should carry you up anyhow." He grinned. 

"I'm all for that. Geez, once I understood the energy thing, I could practically count the crowd with my eyes closed."

"You know, everyone kept telling me that it would take someone like my dad to bring me down... I didn't think it'd be like my mother instead." He laughed.

"Hush you."

"Oh," He made the final stair. "I don't plan on saying much for awhile."

With a giggle, she slid out of his arms. "Help me unzip this thing?"

"Actually, I was wondering if we could leave it on for the first go." He kissed her shoulder. "I want to make love to my angel." He breathed. 

"Oh, I guess so." She giggled. "But, I should warn you... Tulani gave me a fascinating set of under things."

He licked his lips. "Well, we've got all night." Brushing his fingers under her chin, he pulled her mouth to his. Slowly, patiently, he danced his lips against hers. She laid her head back and gasped, allowing him to slip his tongue into her mouth to run along her teeth. His hands rubbed down her hips. "Mine." He whispered. Walking her back to the bed, he laid her on the bed and climbed on top.

His hands rested on either side of her head. "So beautiful." He dipped down and brushed his lips against hers. 

Her hands ran across his chest. "Your clothes made my mind trip." Licking her lips, she giggled again. 

Grinning, he slid a hand up her leg, tugging the dress up with it. "Mmm, let's see what's under here." He ran his hand over the lacey panties. "Gods, Tulani..." 

Lydia shivered. "Yeah, this material has been driving me batty all day."

"So that's why you were so fidgety." He grinned. 

"Among other things."

Pressing his fingers against the fabric and sliding it along her folds, he had her writhing and gasping. Getting comfortable, he slid his fingers all around, just enjoying her reactions. When he licked her flat, she jolted. Grinning, he began to lick her, rubbing his fingers and tongue across the fabric. When he began to shiver, he tugged the fabric to the side and slipped his tongue in, enjoying her clamping around him. For a little longer he sucked at those sopping folds.

"That was intense." She whimpered. 

"Roll over, my love." 

She rolled over on her belly, and he knelt above her, tugging the zipper down. He blinked at the matching material across her back. "Hmm, what is this?" He slipped his finger under it. She rolled free of the dress, and his eyes went wide. "Momma Tuly has been taking evil lessons from my mother." 

Lydia grinned. "You like? 

"It's like spider silk over your breasts." He ran his hands over it and she shivered. "I like it very much."

"Good, I had to get to her to help me put it on. It was making me overly sensitive."

"Is that so?" He purred.

"I probably shouldn't have told you that."

Carefully he removed the dress from her and the bed and laid it to the side. He climbed up over her and grinned. "Probably not." He ran his tongue over the fabric on her nipple. 

She gasped and grabbed at him. "You!"

"Me!" He growled, as one hand captured her breast. He ran his fingers over the nipple, teasing and pinching as his mouth worked on the other one. 

She grabbed at him, gasping and desperate. "Please." She whispered. "Please, I want you inside of me." 

"I can't deny such a simple request." He grinned. Shoving his pants off, he slid his fingers across the wet fabric, before pushing it aside and burying himself within. "That fabric is ridiculous against my dick." He groaned. 

Wrapping herself around him, she clung for dear life as he began to pump himself in and out. Not thinking about it, she dug her teeth into his shoulder and raked her nails down his back. He growled and dragged his teeth against her shoulder and neck. When she began to shake, he buried himself deep and hung on for the ride. 

After a moment his lifted his head. "Ok, I want fifty of whatever the hell that thing is." 

Lydia laughed. "I know, right? She calls it "lingerie" whatever the hell that means."

"Fancy little nothings, probably." He cuddled her. "I figure I give you a little break before I show you the gift momma gave me."

"What is that?"

"An exact copy of her... kit."

"Kit?" She cocked her head to the side.

He pressed his lips to her ear. "Anal."

Lydia went bright red. "Oh!"

"Yeah, she gave me all the tools and a copy of her book. So I can train you instead." He rubbed his cheek against hers. "If you still want to."

"Oh, I do... but you're so big..."

He grinned. "Keep that up..." Licking his lips, he reached over and pulled out the box. "There's a whole graduation of sizes. You start from the smaller, and over the course of days, weeks or even months, you build to the size you want." 

She sat up and looked into the box. "Huh." Spotting a glint, she pulled open the drawer. "Darguni, why do you have copies of your dick?"

He blushed. "I had them made before you. I was..." he rubbed the back of his head. "I was going to give them to certain girls..."

She picked one up and frowned at it. "Was Tara one?"

He winced. "Yes."

She snorted. "Maybe if you'd given her the damned thing, she wouldn't be such a bitch."

Taking the metal dick out of her hand, he sighed. "I hate that they attacked you."

"Well, they're afraid of me now, so there's that... even though..." She shook her head.

"Even though?"

"It's not important." 

Brushing her hair out of her face, he sighed. "Honesty?"

"I could feel her. Now that I understand what's going on, I could literally feel her hate pouring out at me."

"When?"

"The wedding." 

"That bitch." He snarled.

Plucking the metal dick from his hand, she put a hand to his cheek. "Except it was OUR wedding, and I won't let a little petty jealousy ruin it for us." She tucked the object in the kit box. "We just have a size to shoot for, now don't we?"

He grinned and gently licked her lips. "Mine."

She repeated him. "Mine." She ran her fingers under his chin. "I believe we were going to start practicing."

He showed his teeth. "I like the way you think." 

Curious, she ran her hand on his fang. "How sensitive are these things?"

"Very. I think it's part of the reason momma enjoys jerking dad around by the things. Stimulate the damned thing right, and you can practically orgasm off of them."

"Fascinating. I'll have to try it sometime."

"Have I not used it on you?"

"Use it?"

"On your thighs?"

"No." 

"Oh, we'll have to do that." He grinned.

"One thing at a time." She laughed. 

"Actually, no." He licked his lips. "You see, you need to be sopping before I can start."

Her eyes went wide. "Oh?"

Sliding off the bed, he tugged her around. He knelt in the floor and tugged the panties off, tossing them to the side. He spread her legs and buried his face into those slick, wet folds. Her fingers raked through his hair, and her other hand gripped the sheets. He got her hot and panting before he scraped his fang against the tender area of her thigh. She practically shrieked. 

Chuckling, he tormented her. "I suddenly wish I had a pair like dad. I bet they'd drive you insane." 

"I'm not sure I could handle it." She whimpered. 

He helped her roll over. "Now for a different sort of fun." He took the smallest rod from the kit and slid it inside of her front. "We get it nice and slick..." He tugged it out and licked it, before pushing it back in her. She shivered. Moving the rod again, he began to slip it into her ass. She gasped and clung to the sheets. "That's my beauty, take it in." 

"Oh, Gods." She buried her face in the bed. 

"Does it feel good?" He moved it in and out. 

"Yes." She whimpered. 

"Now, watch this." He pushed the rod all the way to the hilt, before shifting up and burying his dick in her front. Her hands went wild as she clung to the bed. "And if I do this..." With one hand, he clung to the rod, the other, her hip. Soon he had the rod going in rhythm to his dick. She spasmed with the force of it, clamping down on both. With a groan, he filled her. 

She lay on the bed, whimpering.

"Are you alright, my love?" He rubbed his hands on her back.

"I'm so glad I don't have to go to training anymore...I'm not sure I can walk there tomorrow."

He chuckled. "Hold on, let me deal with this thing." He tugged the rod free. 

She gasped and dug her nails into the edge of the bed. 

He dropped it in its own bag. "I have to go wash this."

"Alright." 

By time he returned, she was passed out. He carefully tucked her under the covers, before climbing in after.



For The Whored: The Future: Ch. 18



"So, why are you carrying me?" 

"Because someone bemoaned walking last night."

She blushed. "Ah." 

He deposited her on the platform and kissed her temple before going to his own work.

"You know, you're only supposed to be carried over the threshold." Elunara grinned. 

Lydia turned crimson. "I'm having trouble walking." She muttered. 

"I imagine you are." Elunara whistled. 

"Ugh."

"Welcome to the family, sweetheart." Elunara kissed Lydia's temple.

"Sir."

Grogek raised a brow. "Yes?"

"I have decided to quit."

He blinked at the recruit. "What?"

She kept her composure, but her shifting eyes gave her away.

Grogek erupted into laughter. "If you joined this regimen just to get my son, then you are the biggest idiot I have met to date." He shook his head at her blush. "My son has craved a soft woman from the moment he figured out how to use his dick. A hard woman was never his interest." 

She turned flame red and began to walk away. 

He shook his head. "You were good. Pity you're giving up." 

"Sir?"

"You heard me." He shrugged. "Be the forlorn lover, or actually make something of yourself. It's ultimately your decision."

She sighed. "Yes, but now I have shown my poor decision making skills." 

He shrugged. "You wouldn't be the first person to make a decision based on your heart. In fact, that's a rule in our family. If you know anything about me, you'd know that I was in the position to decimate Draenor, but I followed that woman." He pointed at Elunara. "A woman incapable of love. Now look at us."

"Sir, can I be honest?"

"That is another rule in our family; absolute honesty, regardless of the cost."

"I..." She took a deep breath and stared through him. "Ever since I was a child, I had... I had a crush on you, sir. But you have Elunara. And then... Susan... a fact that still confuses me. Anyway, when Darguni came of age, my attention shifted. I worked my ass off to get in this program, if only to hear you compliment me just once." She fiddled her fingers. "I guess I thought that one was as good as the other." She sighed and raked her fingers through her hair. "And now I've made a moron of myself. Good bye." 

He grabbed her shoulder. "Tabitha, I think you should figure out your priorities. I don't think you should quit." Turning, he walked away. "I SAW THAT! DO IT OVER!" He bellowed. 

"Hey, bro. Didn't see you after the wedding."

Bradly shrugged. "I stayed with Bryan last night."

"You know we're on the third floor. I'm fairly certain we wouldn't have been THAT loud."

"It's not that." Bradly winced. 

"You're still in love with her..."

Bradly stared at his feet. 

Darguni wrapped an arm around Bradly's neck and started dragging him. 

"HEY!"

Darguni walked over to Grogek. "Sorry, guess I'm not making training today, I have to deal with my idiot brother."

Grogek's eyebrows shot up. "Alright."

"Darguni!"

He waved a hand. "Lydia, stay."

"WHAT?"

"Just... please?"

She sighed. "Fine, but I want answers."

Bradly struggled, even as Darguni shoved him in the door. "Gods, you have a grip like iron."

"Train under dad." Darguni snorted. "Now TALK!"

"Ugh! So, I've been doing a lot of thinking lately, and I've suddenly realized just how badly I've fucked everything up." He shook his head. "So congratulations, you have her. You win."

"This was never a competition and you damned well know it." 

"Gods!" Bradly tossed his hands up. "It's just... I never really got over her, and I never realized how jealous I am of the two of you, it's like... It's like I can't find this secret formula that you do so well. Then it got even worse when I realized that I don't actually "love" Bryan." 

"You..."

"Yes, I'm using him to alleviate the pain."

"You became a cockmuncher because you couldn't have the woman you wanted?" Darguni just blinked.

"YES!" He tossed his hands up. "At first it was a little weird, but not bad. I thought that maybe I really could get into the whole thing... and for awhile it worked, but then I realized I was..." He buried his fingers in his hair. "Replacing Bryan's face with hers."

"You realize Lydia doesn't have a dick, right?"

"I'm not stupid." Bradly grumbled. "I will take momma's stance on... a sensation is a sensation." 

"Yes, but momma doesn't bury her problems in Tulani's pussy."

"I KNOW THAT!" He groaned. "Look, I'm just trying to figure out why the hell, when I finally had what I wanted, I couldn't DO the things that would have made her truly mine. I just... expected her to BE there."

"Fucking WOO her, dammit. Don't just smack her on the ass and go "woo!" You didn't bother to TRY. I did it BY ACCIDENT." 

"I KNOW THAT TOO!" Bradly tossed his hands up. 

Darguni marched into the library and grabbed one of the special sheets. He scribbled a message and tossed it over his shoulder. "You're a fucking idiot." 

After a few moments, Lydia walked in. "What's the matter?"

"TELL her, Bradly!"

He winced. "I... I've been using Bryan to get over you... not particularly successfully."

"But..."

"Look, I started dating Bryan because I thought it was your requirement. I kept dating Bryan because I thought you might find it a turn on. When you chose Darguni over me due to my stupidity, I kept up with Bryan just so you didn't hurt so much."

"You..." She put a hand to her chest. "You're USING HIM?"

"Yeees?" Bradly closed his eyes. "I don't know. I mean, I like him, and he's sweet and all, but it just... it doesn't fit. All I've ever wanted was you, and... Well, I couldn't keep you."

Lydia blinked. "You worthless fucking piece of shit. All you are is a walking dick, who's too busy sticking it in someone; to actually bother to find out anything about that person. You haven't bothered to take the time to MAKE IT work, and WE have to deal with your lazy shit attitude!"

Bradly slapped Lydia. "YOU BITCH!" 

Darguni grabbed Bradly. "HOW DARE--"

"Stop." Lydia held her cheek. "Darguni, stop. I deserved it." 

"What? But--"

"Let me finish." Lydia shook her head. "You see, I didn't realize it until this moment, but... Everything Bradly is... is because of his parents."

"Elunara and Jordan have--"

Lydia held up her hand. "Your birth parents." She sighed. "You see, when I was six years old... I... I went to see you. You were mean to me then, but I thought you were cute and I had a massive crush on you. I couldn't walk very well, so, sometimes I'd sit outside of your house and wait for you to come out. One day..." She swallowed. "One day, the window was open, and I heard your mother yelling those very words at your dad. I realized that maybe you had a worse life than I did." She shook her head. 

"I've come to realize, that you're just like your dad. Whenever you mother would... "get into a snit" he'd just up and leave for awhile and wait for her to calm down. While he waited... she took it out on you. I never said anything, because I was terrified of her, but I was more terrified of her killing you. I never knew what to do. When Elunara took you instead? A blessing. I envied you. She took you away from the hurt. I badly wished she could take me away from my hurt... eventually she did." 

Elunara opened the door and blinked at the trio. "Should I get an "Argument in progress" sign?"

Darguni snorted. "Quite possibly."

She started up the stairs. "Well, don't wake the baby."

"Yes, Momma." All three sa+id at once. They turned and giggled at each other. 

"Never knew you knew any of that." Bradly whispered. 

"I didn't think of it, honestly. Elunara saved you, fixed you, and made you a better person. You found love in Jordan, and changed even more. But your attitudes are very much like your deceased dad." 

Bradly sighed. "I'm sorry I hit you."

"I just wanted a reaction out of you. I needed to see a reaction out of you. I think you do care about Bryan, but it's blurred because of how deeply you focus on me. Bradly..." She put her hands on his shoulders. "You can't love me, until you understand what your version of love is. You have to discard your birth parents, and open yourself up to the family you have now. Try to love like Jordan, with his whole heart and his whole body. How often do you see him hold Elunara's hand, just because? Bring her flowers, just because? You don't do these things. I don't think your dad ever did. 

Some days, I wonder if that was why your birth mother was so nasty and bitter. What kind of person was your dad, or what kind of person was she, before you were born? There had to be SOMETHING there, or they wouldn't have bothered. It will never be your fault, because you were born. You were a child, and never at fault. It's your turn to figure it out. Read your mother's books; watch your father's actions. How many children have been in this house, are in this house... and not one of them has managed to drive a wedge in their relationship. Relearn what it means to love." She pressed her mouth to his. 

He wrapped his arms around her and returned the affection. "You're always so much smarter than I am." 

"That's why I married her." Darguni grinned.

"Way to be a dick." Bradly snorted.

"Learned it from you."

"Ouch."

"That was so beautiful."

Everyone looked up at Elunara.

"Until you had to ruin it by being siblings." She stuck her tongue out. 

Lydia stepped back into Darguni's embrace. "Bradly, there are no absolutes, especially in this crazy ass family." She snorted. "I love my husband." She looked up and kissed his chin. "But, it doesn't mean I'm against letting you try again. So long as he's fine with it."

Darguni kissed the top of her head. "I'm going to pull my dad, and say that I don't have to ask where I am in her heart, because I already know. If my mother can be married to four freaking people, why can't my wife?" He shrugged. 

"See? There you go." 

Bradly just blinked at the both of them. "Really?" He whispered. 

"Well, the threesomes weren't bad." Lydia snickered. 

"That's my girl." Elunara laughed.

"Mom!" Darguni groaned. 

Bradly grabbed Lydia's hand. "I won't let you down again."

"You damned well better figure out Bryan. If you're going to break up with him, do it kindly." 

Bradly raked his fingers through his hair and sighed. 

"Wait, Bradly wants to break up with Bryan?" Elunara blinked. 

Bradly cringed. "I..."

Lydia crossed her arms. "Honesty policy." She mocked. 

"I've... been using Bryan to deal with my Lydia withdrawal?"

Elunara marched down the stairs and whacked Bradly on the back of the head. "ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?"

"Momma! I'll fix it, I swear!"

"You goddamned better." 

Bradly sighed and knocked on the door. 

"Bradly! I wasn't... uh..." He looked back and closed the door behind him.

"Company?"

"No." Bryan blushed. "I was working on this project..." He bit his lip. "It's supposed to be a surprise."

"Um, well." Bradly sighed. "Look, can we start over?"

"Huh?"

"It's just..." He fidgeted. "I didn't really want to do this in the street." 

"Do what?" Bryan whispered. 

"Look, I'll stand out here while you put away whatever that is. This is kind of important." 

"It's not..." Bryan gestured.

"Ok... then I'll put my hand over my eyes and run to the bedroom?"

"Hold on." Bryan sighed. He came back out with a strip of cloth. "This." He led Bradly to his bedroom and closed the door. Looking at the blindfolded Bradly, he licked his lips. Before he could stop himself, he pressed his mouth to Bradly's. 

"Mm, Bryan... I really..." Bradly gasped when Bryan's hand went down his pants. "Seriously, I need to... Oh, gods, why can't I make you stop?" He laid back and ran his fingers through Bryan's hair. When Bryan's mouth slipped over Bradly's dick, he almost lost it. "I can't..." He collapsed back as he lost himself in Bryan's mouth. 

Bryan licked his lips. "I'm sorry, I could help it. That's... been one of my fantasies." 

"Oh, so THAT's the secret project." Bradly snorted and yanked the blindfold off.

"No... I'll give you the other one later. I know your birthday is coming up..."

Bradly blinked and calculated in his head. "SHIT! I missed Lydia's!" He smacked his forehead. 

"No you didn't." Bryan shook his head. "Hers is next week. She's twenty three on the twenty seventh, not twenty seven on the twenty third." Bryan stuck out his tongue.

"Gods, even you know more about her than I do." 

"Sorry." 

"That's..." Bradly raked his hair back. "That's exactly why I came over... Lydia's giving me another chance."

"But, isn't she married?"

"Yeah. My mother is married to four people." He shrugged. "Anyway, listen, I haven't been entirely fair to you."

"No?"

"I've been so focused on her, that I haven't paid nearly enough attention to you."

"But... you've spent almost all of your time with me."

Bradly winced. "Here in body, not in mind..."

"Oh." Bryan said quietly.

"It's not fair to you, and I'm deeply sorry." 

"Do you really love me?" He whispered.

"See, what's the thing... I don't know." 

"Oh." 

"No, no, don't cry." Bradly cupped Bryan's face. "Hear me out first. You see, I've come to understand that I don't even know what love is. I mean, I understand family love, because Elunara gave me that. I don't understand what romantic love is." He sighed and dropped his hands. "I don't know if I really love you, I don't know if I really love her. I'm a mess. Probably a bad bet. My birth parents fucked up my view of relationships, and I haven't given Elunara's view a good enough try. I have to learn a new way. A way that doesn't hurt the people I'm trying to love." 

"I'm willing to let you learn." 

"But, I've been so awful to you."

"You think you have." Bryan shrugged. "I've just been thrilled you give me the day, even if you are thinking of her. I just wish... you'd think of me more than you do." 

"I think the world of you, Bryan. You're so sweet and talented... I've felt so guilty that I don't know how to give you more." He raked his hand through his hair. "I just... I feel like I've been using you." 

"I kind of liked being used." Bryan blushed. 

Bradly laughed. "Here, I was worried about hurting you."

"We'll make it right." Bryan pressed his mouth to Bradly's. 

Bradly wrapped his arms around Bryan and pressed in to it. 

"Momma?" Later that night, Bradly stood in the living room, squirming.

"Yeah?"

"I... I have a weird request."

"Hm?"

"Teach me how to suck dick more comfortably."

Elunara blinked at Bradly. "Give me a minute, that's a subject I expected out of my daughters... not my son." 

He snorted and flopped on the couch. "Me either."

"I take it you've decided to keep on with Bryan."

"Yeah." He sighed. "I look at him, and I just can't hurt him."

"You better not." 

"How do you manage it?" He leaned back on the couch. 

"Sucking dick?"

"Multiple partners."

"In the beginning, delicately. After you get used to each other? You're a little more durable about things." 

That night, in bed, Grogek stared at the ceiling. 

"You're deep in thought there, Sugarbear." Elunara sat and worked on some of her sketches.

"One of my trainees has a crush on me."

Tulani and Susan froze in place. Elunara chuckled. "I heard that conversation."

He reached out and tugged on her ear. "Of course you did."

"Well..." Susan hazarded. "Do you..."

"Ugh, Gods no." He snorted. "She's a good soldier. In fact, she's gotten better since her little confession. I'm just concerned. I don't have Elunara's expertise in such matters."

"I've been watching her. I don't think you should concern yourself at this time." She ran her hand on his chest. "Right now she's in "prove myself" mode. I'll warn you before she goes deeper."

"Alright." He ran his fingers on her ear. "I trust your judgment in all things." 

"Mm, you keep that up and we'll have an entirely different discussion."

"That was the point." He plucked her board out of her lap. 

Susan giggled. "I'll go put Tilly to bed." 

"You in, Tulani?" Elunara grinned. 

"I'll just watch." She winked. 

Grogek tugged Elunara's pants off, before tucking himself neatly into her waiting wetness, he tugged her shirt off. "Mm, I think I'll have you all night."

"Elunara?"

Everyone looked over at Susan. 

"I'm sorry, I know you're busy, but you... have to hear this."

Elunara wiggled out from under Grogek and made her way into the hall. "Oh, dear..." She sighed. "I guess I need to sound proof that room." With a sigh, she headed up.

"Elunara!" Susan hissed. "You're naked."

She shrugged. "My kids are used to me naked." 

She pushed the short door open. "Hey!"

Darguni and Lydia jolted. "Mother!" 

"You're so loud; you can be heard in the baby's room." 

Lydia put a hand over her mouth. "I'm so sorry." 

"I sound proofed the downstairs rooms well enough, and you guys stopped using this one, I forgot about it." She put her hands on her hips. 

"Mother, you're naked." He sighed.

"I was busy getting pounded by your father when Susan pointed out the problem."

Darguni scrubbed his hands over his face. "I didn't need that." 

"Good, then you'll be quiet next time." She waved a hand and headed back downstairs. 

"I'm not getting that out of my brain tonight." Darguni collapsed on top of Lydia.

Elunara marched downstairs. "I'll apologize to Lydia tomorrow for killing Darguni's erection." 

Susan put a hand on her mouth to smother her laugh. 



For The Whored: The Future: Ch. 19



Lydia sat on the platform and sighed. She felt kind of silly, just sitting here all day staring at her husband. What she needed was a hobby. Well, she had a hobby, but she liked sharing it with Darguni. This time of day, both Darguni and Bradly were in the yard. Knowing what she'd seen firsthand, while the sons were technically trainees, they were next under their dads. If Grogek were to fall ill, Darguni would step up and train the men. If Jordan were to be injured, Bradly would take over. No one had been promoted yet, but she knew it just was a matter of time. 

Susan was off being a mother to the baby and would probably show up to the platform later. Elunara had clients all day, so the house was off limits. Lulu and Tina were off doing whatever teenagers did these days. Tina had become a whole lot nicer since her bad night. Lydia debated checking on Zelinnia, but she'd just be in the way or roped into an endless stream of paper work. Renwa had earned his place as second in command to Varian.

Maybe Chrissy or Jenny would be interested in some girly time. Tulani also had clients, and she was just afraid to knock on Gingy's door. It wasn't like she had many female friends. Most of them were actually Elunara's friends. Some of the men she had hung out with as boys, now saw her as an annoyance and their wives weren't much happier about it. Bryan was a friend, but he'd locked himself in his house to work on some project. Bradly and Darguni had been her permanent friends, and that was that. 

With a sigh, she flagged down Darguni. 

"Hey, babe, what's up?"

"I'm going to go sing."

"You look sad."

"Just feeling a little lonely is all."

He brushed her hair back. "I'm sorry. My dad would kill me if I take a day off so close to our vacation."

"I'm not asking you to." She brushed her lips over his. "I'm going to go sing. It cheers me up." 

"Alright, you know how to find me." 

She awoke in darkness. Jolting, she struggled; only to find herself bound to a wall.

"Hello, little girl." He grabbed her chin. "Well, you're not so little any more, are you?"

She tried to talk, but her mouth was stuffed. 

"Do you remember me?" He rubbed his knuckles on her cheek. "You're older than I like em, but I have unfinished business with you. I like breaking the strong ones, so tasty." 

Trying to scramble back, she shrieked into the fabric.

"I think you remember me!" He licked his lips. "This will be even better!" He clapped his hands together. "But, I'm not ready yet. I'll be baaack!" He called out merrily as he left.

She struggled against her bonds, only to discover she couldn't move at all. Yanking her arms, she pulled against the fabric. Her feet were somehow bound to her hands, because she couldn't shift them without tightening the wrists. With a shiver, she realized that she was naked, and began to scream. 

Darguni jogged down to the amphitheater. With a frown, he poked behind the curtain. Shrugging, he left for the hill. His concern grew as he searched the entire city. Ignoring the sign on the door, he knocked.

After a moment, Elunara yanked the door open. "What?"

He put a hand over his eyes. "Momma, has Lydia been by here?"

"No."

"I can't find her, and I've looked everywhere." 

She sighed. "Did you try the amphitheater?"

"Twice. I've been everywhere and I just can't find her."

"What was her mental state?"

"Lonely. She was going to sing to cheer herself."

"Try everyone we know."

"Alright." 

She closed the door in his face. 

"Jerry, have you seen Lydia?"

He shook his head. "Try Bryan?" 

"Bryan said no. He hasn't come out of his house." 

"Alright, I'll help you look."

"Aw, you made a mess."

Lydia jerked as she was doused with cold water. 

"Scream all you want, little girl. No one will find you down here." He dropped the bucket and sat on the bottom of it. "I'm very angry with you. I don't like being angry." He threaded his fingers together. "You took me away from the thing I like the most for twelve years." He giggled. "Such a perfect age, twelve..." He shook himself. "After I'm done with you..." He giggled again. "Maybe I can make you twelve again." He licked his lips. "Then I'll go get the snotty one and bring her down here too." 

Lydia tried desperately to fight the bonds. 

"How ironic... how much you like to sing. I'm going to make you sing for me. Right here in your favorite place to do it." 

Her eyes had adjusted to the light and she could see the stored props. Footsteps above them made her start to scream again. The man watched the path of the footsteps until they left. "See? No one can help you here."

Darguni was absolutely frantic. "No one?" 

They all shook their heads. 

"FIND HER, GODDAMN IT!"

Lydia was lightheaded and desperately thirsty. She rolled her head and stared, with some desperation, at the footsteps above her head. They seemed to be pacing. She tried to scream but her throat had been clogged with the fibers. Closing her eyes, she tried with desperation to wish. 

"Lydia?"

It was a whisper, but she knew that voice well. She tried to remember what Elunara had taught her. She gasped as another bucket of water was tossed on her. How much she wished for just a drop of it to be in her sore throat. 

"I think we can start again now." He whispered with a mad glee. "How fitting to break you in this place you love, with the beast you love above our heads." He grabbed her knee, and she screamed with her mind.

"Anything?" Darguni paced back and forth. "Anything at all?" He whispered.

"I'm sorry, we can't find her." Mark sighed. 

Bradly scrubbed his hands over his face. "It's been three days, WHY can't ANYONE find her?"

Darguni paced and clawed at his own face. "I feel her. I can FEEL her, but not WHERE!" He flopped down on the stage and held his face in his hands. 

"What do you mean, you feel her?" Elunara narrowed her eyes. 

"When I stand here..." He wrapped his arms around himself. "I can feel her presence. I don't know... I think because she's spent so much time here." 

Elunara climbed up on stage and moved around. "I feel her too... she's screaming." Elunara murmured. "Darguni MOVE!"

"What?" He scrambled out of the way.

"It's around here somewhere." She mumbled, her fingers trailing over the floor. "Gah, that's the last time I let someone modify my design without adding it to my books." Her fingers dug into the wood. "There!" She yanked the panel up. 

"LYDIA!" Darguni dove into the hole and landed on top of the man, crushing his head into the floor.

Lydia struggled, as she began to cry. 

Darguni wrapped his arms around her. "Oh, my sweet wife."

Elunara summoned her dagger and cut the bonds around Lydia's wrists, before getting the ones at her ankles. Once she cut the gag from Lydia's mouth, she shoved Darguni off of the man. "Looks like we're going to have a lovely conversation when he wakes up."

Lydia curled up in Darguni's lap. "That's... that's the man I saved Gingy from." She shook. "He..."

"Come on, love, let's get you home." Darguni cradled Lydia in his arms. 

Elunara grabbed some spare fabric and tossed it over Lydia's body. "I'll deal with the bastard."

"Leave some for me." He growled. 

"Gladly." 

"Here, send her up." Bradly held out his arms. 

Darguni passed Lydia up, before climbing out of the hole. He took her back into his arms. 

"Darguni?"

"Yeah, mom?"

"Put her in the tub."

"Alright." 

He slid Lydia into the heated tub, before sliding in beside her. "There we go, nice and toasty." She curled up in his lap and began to weep. "Oh, baby, I'm so sorry. I tried so hard to find you, but I didn't know about the basement."

She sniffled. "I'd forgotten about it. I knew it was there, but I hadn't gone to sing in so long..."

"I hope this doesn't stop you from singing." He wiped her tears. "I would do anything to take it all back."

"It's... it's not your fault."

"I felt you. I KNOW I felt you. I tried to figure out why. I thought... I just thought it was how much time you spent there." 

"I screamed for you." She whimpered. "I'm desperate for something to drink."

"Of course." He jumped out and wrapped a towel around his waist before he ran for the kitchen. He came back and sat a pitcher of water down before pulling her into his lap. He let her drink until the pitcher was gone. "Need more?"

She shook her head and curled up on him. "I just want to be comfortable." 

"Then I'll give it to you." When she fell asleep, he frowned. 

Elunara walked in and stooped down. "How is she?"

"Like a broken doll." He whimpered. 

"We'll help her put the pieces back together, but she'll always have some cracks." She sighed. "Come, get her to bed, I'll deal with the tub."

"Thank you, momma."

She woke up screaming. 

"No, no, shh, it's me, Baby. It's only me."

She clung to him and wept. 

The next day, he tucked her on to the couch. "I'll be right back, OK? Bradly's going to stay with you while I'm busy." 

She just nodded and curled up against Bradly. 

Darguni closed the door and sighed. 

"He's at the Keep. I've already had at him and we've gotten all we can out of the bastard. None of it is worth repeating." Elunara shook her head. "I pumped him with enough energy to keep him alive for about two hours."

Darguni cracked his knuckles. "Not enough, but I'll take what I'm given." 

He made his way into the keep. Varian nodded at him and led the way. He closed the door. Darguni growled. The man in the seat was covered in blood, but had enough wherewithal to panic. Darguni smiled at that.

Darguni wiped the blood off of his own cheek. "No need for an execution." 

Varian merely nodded and closed the door again. 

He cleaned himself up before heading back home. Trading places with Bradly, he sighed. "Oh, my beauty. What has he done to you?"

Elunara paced the bedroom. 

"Love, you've done all you can."

"No. There's always more to do." She sighed and frantically paced.

"You'll help her." Tulani said; her voice quite and contemplative. "You've helped so many... you'll figure out how to help your daughter." 

Jordan sighed and raked his fingers through his hair. "You've been through what she has. Remember what helped you, and move from there." 

Susan sighed. "But it's so much harder to fix a darkened heart."

Elunara pointed at Susan. "What did you say?"

"A darkened heart?"

"That's it!" Elunara bolted out of the room. 

Everyone followed her and looked over the banister.

She came out with a book. "When Zelinnia had that miscarriage... I "fixed" her. She said that I removed the darkness from her heart." She jogged up the stairs. "Maybe I can recreate it somehow." 

The next day, she found Darguni downstairs, pacing.

"How is she?"

"She's just so broken." He whimpered. "Momma, I'm trying, I really am, but I just don't know what to DO." He sighed. "She wakes up screaming. She lays there and shivers and shakes, never speaking. When I feed her, she eats without looking, just puts it in her mouth. All she wants to do is drink and drink. I'm slightly terrified of how much water she drinks."

Elunara closed her eyes and sighed. With a shake of her head, she hardened herself. "Son, he kept her tied up for three days with a cloth gag in her mouth so tight, she couldn't even move her lips. He gave her nothing, letting her starve and mess herself. She suffered from dehydration, and her throat filled with particles from the fabric. He tortured her in every conceivable way."

"Why are you telling me this?" He whispered in horror.

"You remember when I was taken the same way?"

"Yes." He whimpered. "I don't like that book."

"That's what she lived through. Unlike me, Lydia was already in a weakened mental state, and this? This just snapped her." 

Darguni collapsed to the couch and wrapped his arms around himself. "This is just too cruel. My poor, beautiful wife." He buried his face in his hands. 

"I'm telling you this, because you need to be prepared for what I'm about to do."

Shaking, he looked up. "What?"

"I've only done this once, and it was by accident and I never tried to figure out how or why, but I need you to trust me."

"Of course I trust you."

"With Lydia?"

"Of course."

"Please go get her, the couch is the best place to do this."

Darguni bolted.

"Can I help, momma?" 

She shook her head. "I'm sorry, Bradly. You're not close enough. Too many people try and it could make her worse. You can see about helping her after."

He nodded and closed the front door. 

Darguni came down, Lydia in his arms.

"Sit on the couch with her. I want you to hold on to her, because I have no idea how this is going to work." 

Darguni got into place. "What are you going to do?" Elunara put her hands on both Darguni and Lydia and closed her eyes. He jolted and looked around. "Where are we?"

"My theory... is the space where the spirits reside. I've connected the three of us so that we may be able to retrieve our Lydia."

He looked around in the blackness. "This is creepy."

"I can't count how many times Elune has pulled me into this damned place." She looked around. "There's our little point of light." 

Darguni followed her and gasped. Lydia was curled into a ball, rocking back and forth. "Lydia!" He stooped down and put his hand on the side of her head. 

She jolted and scrambled back. "NO! Don't touch me!" 

"Lydia, please... my beautiful wife. It's me." He reached out and laid a gentle hand on her arm. "It's me, baby. I'd never hurt you."

Elunara stooped down and repeated the gesture. "Sweetie? It's me. It's... it's your momma."

"Momma?" Lydia blinked.

"Yeah, I'm your momma now. Yours has passed and left you in my care. You married my son and are part of my family." 

"Momma." Lydia whimpered and clung to her. 

"That's right. I've brought your husband."

"Husband?" Lydia blinked at Darguni. 

"Yeah, Baby, it's me." He ran his hand down her back. "Remember?" He frowned. "Why doesn't she remember?"

"You've only been married a week, and she seems to have regressed pretty far." 

"That's not fair!" He cried. "I finally find my happiness, and some worthless bastard takes her from me." 

"We'll get her back. I promise you." Elunara dislodged Lydia from her neck and shoved her over to Darguni. "Take her, talk to her, I have an idea."

"Momma!" Lydia gasped. 

"No, sweetie, you stay with Darguni."

"Baby? It's me, baby. Maybe you don't remember your husband... but what about that little orc kid you used to run around with? Maybe you remember our secret spot on the hill?" 

Elunara backed away and held out her hands. Channeling her energy outwards, she began to sing.

"Picnics?" He whispered. "Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches?" He kissed her forehead. "Making love under the stars?"

Lydia began to sway back and forth, and soon she picked up the song. 

"Concerts?' Darguni picked up the song, an old familiar melody. 

Lydia stood up, and continued to sing. Soon, all three of them stood in a circle, holding hands, and singing, as Elunara channeled her energy outwards and into the other two. Slowly, she released their hands, still working her magic. 

Blinking, Lydia held Darguni's hands. She stared down at them in wonder. "Darguni?"

"Baby!" He wrapped her in his arms. "You're back!"

"I..." She blinked. "Oh, Gods... OH, GODS IT HURTS!" She crumpled to the floor and began to weep.

"Mother!"

"I'm working on it, I'm working on it." Elunara changed her focus. "It's emotional pain, I think it manifests as physical pain when on this level. I have to directly heal her."

Delicately, he pulled her into his lap. "Don't worry, baby. Momma will make it right." 

"Fascinating."

"What?"

"I can see it." 

"See what?"

"The emotional anguish. I can... break it I think. Not all of it, or we risk breaking her again, but I think we can isolate it enough to..." 

Lydia jolted. "My head hurts." She mumbled.

"I think we're getting somewhere." 

"Lydia? Baby?" Darguni reached out. 

"Darguni?" Lydia reached out. "Oh, Gods. I need you." 

He wrapped her into his embrace. "I need you too, baby."

"Why does everything hurt so badly?"

"Because someone hurt you. I'm so sorry I couldn't find you sooner."

"I... I remember." She whimpered. "I don't want to remember."

"I'm sorry, sweetie, but you have to." Elunara sighed. "The same thing happened to me."

"What?" Lydia looked up. 

"I'm sorry, but if you don't learn to deal with the pain, you can never be whole again. Let us help you. Don't go into a hole again." 

"I..."

"Promise me." Darguni took her hands. "Promise me you'll let us help you."

"But..."

"I'll give you my strength. I need you like I need the sun, like I need the air. I can't lose you, because it would ruin me. Please, let me help you. 

"Oh, Darguni." Lydia wept. "I'm so afraid."

"We'll protect you. We'll all protect you."

"But, what if he comes back?"

"He won't."

"But, how do you know?"

"Because I killed him with my bare hands." Darguni held up his hands. "He's dead, because I did it. He can't take what's mine." 

"For me?" She whispered.

"Anything for you." 

"Guys... I'm losing it. I don't really have much more to sustain this with." 

"Lydia, come back with us. Come home with me." 

"I can't be without you." She whispered. 

Darguni wrapped his arms around her. 

Elunara collapsed.



For The Whored: The Future: Ch. 20



He blinked at the living room. 

"Darguni?" Lydia whispered. 

"Oh, my love! You're back!"

"Thank you."

"Anything." He hugged her tightly. 

"Oh, your mother!" 

Darguni bolted up. "Mother!" Gently, he lifted her head. "She used up too much energy I HAVE to get her to the training yard."

"I can walk on my own. We have to help her." Lydia climbed off the couch. 

Darguni scooped Elunara into his arms. Together, they made their way to the training yard. Standing on the platform, he held up his mother's body. "EVERYONE! ELUNARA JUST USED UP A MASSIVE STORE OF ENERGY TRYING TO SAVE MY WIFE. PLEASE, HELP HER!" He bellowed. Carefully, he laid her down on the platform. 

Soon, everyone in the yard took their turns laying their hands on Elunara's body, offering up a piece of themselves. 

"It's always so fascinating to watch how many people offer themselves to her." Lydia blinked.

"Where is she?"

Darguni moved out of the way and let Varian through. 

Varian stooped down and ran his fingers through Elunara's hair. Jordan and Grogek held their hands on her from below. 

Elunara groaned. "Lydia?"

"You've brought her back, Momma." Darguni laid his hands on her leg. 

"Thank you for saving me... again." 

"Ah, good. I'm going to just sleep here for a bit." She went back out. 

"I'll go get her a pillow." Bradly took off running. 

"How are you feeling?" Varian asked quietly.

"Tired." Lydia whimpered. "Just so damned tired."

Varian sighed. "You both may as well be my own children." 

"What?" 

"I don't repeat myself." He ran his hand down Lydia's back and kissed her head. "All I want is for you to be well. If... If you need me for any reason, I'll be there." Varian stood up and nodded to Darguni. "Take care of her." He marched off.

Darguni and Lydia just stared at Varian's retreating form. 

"Did you ever want siblings?"

Anduin blinked. "Father?"

Varian sighed and tapped his fingers. "I missed SO much of your childhood. I just wondered if you wanted siblings."

"Sometimes." Anduin said quietly. "But I knew it was impossible. I didn't have many friends, because I was under lock and key, but it is what it is. Why are you asking this now?"

"Because I've come to accept that Elunara's children are as much my own as anything else. It breaks my heart to know what happened to Lydia." He sighed and scrubbed his hands over his face. "I've watched them grow up, in a way that I barely had with you."

Anduin tapped his fingers on the windowsill. "I understand." 

"What?"

"I... understand. I mean, I harbored so much resentment and jealousy towards that woman and her kids... But once I got to know all of them, they became a family to me in a way I can't even explain. I guess I can see them as my siblings." Anduin raked his fingers through his hair. "I would have helped her; if only I knew how." 

Darguni sat on the platform, his sleeping mother to his side, his wife curled up in his lap. He sighed and ran his hand down Lydia's back. At least now she was sleeping, and not locked in her own head.

"Should we take her home?" Susan ran a hand on Elunara's hair. 

"She needs to be out here, where she can absorb all that people are willing to give her." 

"Can I hold the baby?" Lydia mumbled.

"Yes, of course." Susan plucked Tilly out of the stroller and passed her to Lydia.

Lydia smiled. "She helps." 

"Does she?"

"I can't explain it." Lydia shook her head. "Maybe I should have my own." 

Darguni froze. "You mean it?" He whispered. 

"Maybe." Lydia closed her eyes again. 

Susan put a hand to her mouth. "Gods, that's beautiful." 

He brushed Lydia's hair out of her face. "She's asleep again."

"How is she?"

Darguni sighed. "She's not trapped in her own head any more, but she's just so tired." 

Grogek frowned. "Well, if she really does have your mother's energy absorption, then you're doing the best thing for her." He patted Darguni's arm.

"Papa?"

He blinked at Darguni. "Yes?"

"She... well, one of the moments she was awake... she might consider having children."

Grogek grinned. "Good." 

Lydia woke up gasping for air. In the middle of the night, weeks later, they lay curled together.

Darguni tugged her closer. "Shh, shh, I'm here, Baby."

"So thirsty." She whimpered.

He sat up and got the cup off of the bed stand. "Here, drink this."

She chugged the glass. 

"Do you want more?"

She shook her head, but twirled the glass in her hand. "Why don't you make love to me anymore?"

"Because I don't want to frighten you." He rubbed his chin on her head. "I want to wait until you feel up to it."

"I want it now." She whispered. 

He took the glass from her. "You have to tell me if I do anything to upset you."

"Just love me." 

Lydia sat on the platform and shivered. Her eyes tracked Darguni, and she had no desire to do anything but.

Elunara sighed. "We may have broken her free, but she still hurts." 

"What can we do?" Jordan frowned. 

"I have an idea."

"Lydia."

She blinked up. "Yeah?"

"You're coming with me."

"Oh, but--"

"Darguni will be along as soon as he finishes." Elunara held out her hand. 

Lydia took it. Together, they walked hand in hand. "I've been considering having a baby."

"Why?"

"Because of how good it feels to hold Tilly."

"That should never be your only consideration. Children are a lot of damned work. Granted, in our family, you have lots of help... but they can still be exhausting. I will freely admit though, my son made a nice little battery for me." 

"Hm." Lydia looked around. Seeing the direction they were going, she began to panic. 

Elunara's grip was like iron. "You have to do it eventually. Do not let your trauma prevent you from the thing you enjoy the most." 

"But!"

"Come sing with me, my daughter."

Lydia whimpered all the way to the top of the stage. She stared down at the trapdoor. 

Elunara took both of Lydia's hands. "Look at me. Look to me. We are above the situation. You need to rise above the situation. Now, sing with me, my love. We haven't gotten a chance to sing together since you well and truly became my daughter."

"I..."

Elunara began to sing. Soon, Lydia began to sing, and before long they were both caught in the melody. "Remember when you were a kid, and they called you a deformed boy, so I set up that miraculous concert?"

"It was the best moment of my life." Lydia whispered. "Varian gave me flowers, and Anduin kissed my hand." She blushed. 

"Just sing, my darling." Elunara brushed her fingers through Lydia's hair, before once again erupting into song. 

Together, they began to sing and dance. They went through the full complement of songs they both knew; Taking turns with male and female parts. As they sang, the amphitheater began to fill with people. Understanding what Elunara had done to Lydia's body, Lydia felt the people, more than saw them. The power of their energy lifted her heart. She was fascinated to discover that she could pinpoint exactly which one was Darguni. Bradly was more faint, but it was still there.

"My girl!" Elunara gasped. "Look at you!"

Lydia held her hands up. "Oh, you!"

"I'm not doing that!"

"You..." Lydia looked back at her glowing wings. "THIS IS ME?"

"That's YOU, my little love!" Elunara put her hands to her mouth. "You are truly my daughter." Embracing Lydia, tears streamed down her face. 

"I can feel them, momma." Lydia whispered. "I can feel their energy." Stepping back, Lydia leaned her head back and began to sing a song of her own invention. Her hands went out and the glow covered her body. Soon the energy began to roll down, like glittering jewels, it sparkled on the stage. 

Darguni left his seat and took off. By time she finished, he wrapped his arms around her. "You're back! My beautiful angel is back!" 

She laughed. "I suppose I am."

He held her face. "It's so good to hear you laugh again. To SING again!" He wrapped his arms around her.

"Sweetheart, I have to breathe." 

Scooping her up, he turned around. "Uh, I'm stealing the star of the show... bye!" He took off jogging.

Elunara put a hand to her mouth and snorted. "Well, we won't see THEM for the rest of the day. So, I guess I'll just keep you entertained instead." She winked. 

Gently, he laid her in the bed. "I've missed you so much." He whimpered, as he climbed over her. 

"I'm sorry."

"No! No, never apologize." He put his forehead to hers. "Never for that."

"It seems that Elunara has fixed me yet again." She wrapped her arms around his neck. "Please... please make love to me." 

"That was my intent." He tugged her shirt over her head and tossed it to the side. 

"You know, I've given serious consideration..." 

"Hm?" He yanked his own shirt off. 

"I kind of want a baby."

He froze at pulling his pants down. "Seriously?" He squeaked.

"Yeah." She nodded. "Seriously." 

Cupping her face, he brushed his mouth over hers. "Oh, gods, you've just made me so happy." He whispered. 

She cocked her head to the side. "I guess it means that if we keep up the threesomes, we'll have to make sure Bradly takes the stuff... cause I didn't agree to getting pregnant by him."

Darguni laughed. "You are SO very back." He rubbed his forehead against hers. "I guess we might as well get started."

"Didn't Elunara say it takes about five days to get the stuff out of your system?"

"Yeah, but that doesn't mean we can't practice." He grinned. Yanking off his pants, he tossed them into the floor, before tugging her skirt off. Running his hands over her body, he tried to ignore the anger those scars caused him. 

She shifted under his attention. "I know you see them." She whispered.

"I'm so sorry." 

"They are a part of me now." She sighed. "At least I match Elunara." She laughed. "She accepted me as her true daughter. That's what she said." Lydia gestured to her body. "I am like her."

"Baby..."

"Up until earlier... I wanted to die."

"Baby!" He cuddled her into his arms. 

"Before, I was broken, and you both went through so much to save me, but I thought... I thought that if I didn't have you, I would kill myself. I need you, and I felt that I would spend my every waking moment dependant on you." She rubbed her cheek on his chest. "But then, Elunara took me down there... made me face the fear, made me understand how strong I am. You and Elunara brought me to the surface; the music helped me break free. Suddenly, I understand so much. She and I are linked, now and forever." Lydia stared at her hand. "The scars on my body were just a constant reminder of the terror. Now, they're kind of beautiful. I am alive to have scars. That's what I learned from her."

"Oh, Lydia." He whispered. 

"Make love to me, my husband. I still need you."

Softly, he kissed his way across those scars and made his way down to her soft curls. He ran his fingers across and slipped slowly inside, watching her writhe under his attentions. Slowly, he pumped his finger in and out of her, enjoying just watching her. He tugged his finger free and licked it, before burying his tongue into that waiting wetness. He ran his tongue everywhere, careful to not leave a tiny spot untouched. When she was half wild with it, he shifted up and slipped into her. 

"Mine." He whispered. "No one will take you from me again." He slipped his arm under her head, and grabbed her hip with the other. Capturing her mouth, he began to slide in and out. "My wife, my life." 



For The Whored: The Future: Ch. 21



"So, Lydia's just like you?" Gerald cocked his head to the side.

"Yeah. Apparently, all of those times I poured myself into her; some of it stuck and grew. Now she's... mostly like me."

"Bizarre. Have any of the other people you've helped shown this kind of side?"

"No. But none have I done so much for as Lydia."

"Does that make her a goddess, too?"

"No idea." Elunara shook her head. "Elune hasn't appeared to tell me either." 

"Hm." He sighed. "I'm having a heart attack."

"Why?"

"William as a thing for Lulu."

"Oh, boy." Elunara giggled. "Relax, daddy. He's only twelve. Lulu's going to be a little heart breaker, but she's not that far advanced. Right now it's all cute little kisses." Elunara waved a hand.

"Kisses?" Gerald went sheet white. He stooped down and tried to breathe, while Elunara laughed. 

"What'd you do to Gerald now?" Jordan snorted. 

"Maaaay have mentioned that I saw Lulu give William a kiss on the cheek."

"Wait WHAT?"

Elunara cackled. "Oh, Gods, that's precious. A pair of daddies having fits over their children sharing a cute little kiss." 

"MOMMA!" Lulu stomped her foot. "It wasn't like THAT!"

"Yes, I know, but it's endlessly HILARIOUS to tell your daddy." 

Lulu turned several interesting shades of red. "MOMMA!" 

"Why?" Croaked Jordan.

Lulu fidgeted. "He gave me flowers."

"Welp, Gerald's out for the count." Elunara leaned over and peered off of the platform.

"What in the world is going on over here?" Lydia cocked her head to the side. 

"Oh, I'm just tormenting these daddies about their children growing up." 

"Hm." Lydia's hands slid over her own belly. "Well, Darguni and I have decided to start trying." All eyes fell on her and she blushed. 

Elunara tapped her pencil. "Are you certain?"

Lydia sighed. "Do you not want me to?"

"I didn't say that, sweetie. I just don't want you to make the decision lightly."

"I'm not. It's all I've thought about and debated since that night you stuck Tilly in my lap and I discovered my ability. It occurred to me that I'd never actually held a child until that day." She fidgeted. "Well, I held Lulu a few times, but I guess not since... They were foreign and strange. But, I've been watching... and I'd like to spend more time with Tilly. Meanwhile, we've decided it's the direction we want to go." 

Elunara slid off of the platform and wrapped her arms around Lydia. "Then that's what you'll have, my darling." 

Darguni sat on the bed, reading. 

Lydia laid beside him, comfortably had, but still itchy with it. "Sweetheart, I want you to train me."

"Train you in what?" He blinked.

She rolled her eyes. "The kit, what else?"

"Oh!" He sat the book to the side. "Are you sure?"

"I wouldn't have asked if I wasn't. What are you reading over there?"

"Um... when the same thing happened to momma." He whispered. "I'd hoped to use it to understand."

"You're sweet for it." She rubbed her hand on his cheek. "The kit?" 

He tugged it out of the drawer. "Want to start with the one we left off?"

"I was thinking the next size up."

"Are you sure?"

She sighed. "Are you going to ask me at every step?"

"I just don't want to hurt you, Baby."

She brushed her lips on his. "I know. But, I'm practically craving it." She leaned forward "You do realize that... I want YOU in there eventually, right?" She whispered into his ear. 

He shuddered. "The next it is." 

"I thought you'd see it my way." 

Licking his lips, he chose the next rod out of the box. "Which way you want to start?"

"I was hoping you'd face me."

"I'll get the straps." He grinned. 

"Oo, we haven't played with those yet." 

"Hold on, there's a diagram." He fiddled with it and adjusted. Turning back, he grinned. "What do you think?"

"It looks like you have two dicks..." She licked her lips. "I rather like it."

"There's some advisable suggestions." He turned the book in several directions. "I think we'll go with the easiest first." He ran his fingers though the slick folds. "Someone really likes this idea." 

"Give it to me." she moaned. 

He shifted himself so that the rod went into her front, and his dick ground against her. When he was satisfied with how wet the rod was, he shifted again and tucked the head of his dick in her front and began to push the rod in her ass. One he was fully in, he began to slowly slide in and out. 

Gasping and moaning, she held up her arms. He wrapped her in his embrace and pressed his mouth to hers. They danced lips and tongue, and she began to nibble her way along his mouth. He buried himself and the rod over and over and drove her over that limit until she was exhausted with it.

"Gods, Baby." He muttered into her shoulder. 

"That..." She panted. "Is what I wanted." 

He dislodged himself. "Aw, baby, you're bleeding."

She shifted. "Oh well." 

"But..."

"Don't worry about it." She cuddled up to him. "Maybe I wasn't ready, but that's fine. I'm not going to stop trying." 

"I'll discuss with mom how to manage that." 

"That's fine."

"Let me go wash this thing." 

She sat and waited for him to return. "We never took our honeymoon."

He cuddled her into his arms. "Yeah, but we were worried..."

"It's fine now." She rubbed her cheek on his chest. "We should do it." 

"I'll clear the time with dad."

"Take her today." In the morning, Grogek nodded. 

"What?"

"Take her today. Unless you're not prepared for it, then take her tomorrow. Don't worry about clearing the time. She needs it. I think it will take off that final edge of sadness she carries." Grogek waved his hand. 

Elunara hugged them both. "Don't forget to stop by mother." 

"Of course." Darguni snorted. "I can't go to Darnassus without the sentinels hanging out the banners."

A couple of days later, Lydia stretched. "I like Exodar, but Darnassus is practically my second home." 

"Yeah, it'll be nice to see Grand Momma."

"Well, we did see her at the wedding."

"I know." Darguni nodded to the port sentinels before heading in. 

"It's always so beautiful and peaceful here." She leaned her head against Darguni.

He wrapped his arm around her shoulders. "You're definitely feeling better."

"I do when I'm with you." She smiled. 

He brushed his lips against hers, before taking her hand and leading the way to the temple. 

"Darguni, is that you?" Tyrande looked over the edge. 

"Hey, Grand Momma, we're taking our honeymoon."

"Oh, how delightful! I'll be right down."

Lydia looked around. "The first time I saw this place, I was dying. Elunara saved me then too. I remember loving to step in the waters as a child." She wiggled out of her shoe before dipping her toes in the water. Lydia's whole body went stiff.

"Baby?"

Lydia's eyes rolled up and her head went back. Suddenly, her whole body was covered in glowing light.

"By Elune! What's happening to her?" Tyrande gasped. 

The light seemed to be cascading off of her, dripping into the pool. The pool began to glow and churn. "I am the first disciple of Elunara. My soul belongs to her." Lydia said, before collapsing where she stood. 

"Are you kidding me?" Darguni tugged Lydia into his arms. "What the hell was that?"

Tyrande ran her hand on Lydia's forehead. "I'm not su--"

"Where am I?" Tyrande spun in circles.

"Hello, Tyrande."

"Who...?"

"Forgive me, my disciple; I had no intention of pulling you out like this. It seems that poor Lydia had a nasty reaction to my purified waters."

"Elune?"

"The same. You see, Lydia has been awakened to Elunara's powers, and was created from them. This has caused a fascinating reaction."

"What does this mean?"

"Honestly? I have no idea. It is due to Elunara being a goddess that this child was accidentally created. Since Elunara is a being that I have yet to completely figure out... I have NO idea what this means for poor Lydia. Do me a favor, bathe her in the waters. I wish to experiment."

"Experiment?" Tyrande shrieked. "She almost died!"

"No she didn't. In fact, it wasn't actually a negative reaction. It may have LOOKED traumatic, but it was only a further awakening of Lydia's new self." Elune shrugged. "It is my belief that this might actually awaken her self-healing abilities, which are trying desperately to come to the surface."

"I will do as you bid." Tyrande knelt.

She blinked and shook her head. "Get her in the pool."

"What?"

"I'll explain in a minute." Tyrande held out her hands. 

"I'm trusting you, Grand Momma..." Darguni handed Lydia over. 

Tyrande knelt and gently laid Lydia in the pool. All around her, the pool began to glow, bathing Lydia in its light. Lydia's hands went up into the air and she was pulled up. She hovered in the air, her body matching the statue in the center. Gently, she drifted down onto the water, standing for a brief moment, before she dropped into the water. 

Lydia blinked and swayed, Tyrande caught her before she could fall. "What happened?"

"Elune came to me. She told me that the waters in this pool have unlocked your ability to self heal." Tyrande checked over Lydia's body.

Lydia blinked. "Really?"

"Yes."

"That's really cool."

Tyrande laughed. "That is the exact opposite of the reaction that Elunara had." She shook her head. "Do you remember anything?"

"No."

"You said you were Elunara's first disciple, and that your soul belonged to her."

Lydia snorted. "It might as well."

Darguni rushed to her side. "Baby?"

"I'm ok, sweetheart. I'm ok." She cuddled into his arms. 

"I wonder if this will increase your lifespan." Tyrande murmured. 

Both of them looked over at her. "Like, make me immortal?" Lydia squeaked.

"No, child, but perhaps lengthen your life span. How long, I'm not certain."

"Oh." She looked at Darguni. "Well, that's probably for the best. Seeing as my mother wasn't forty five when she died. I'd... I'd hate to leave this world so early."

"That would kill me." Darguni whispered. "To have you gone so early from my life." 

"I'm also curious as to how your life will extend... being half night elf."

"That's a crazy thought." He shook his head. "But we're both just twenty three. We have years to figure that out." 

"Yes, yes you do." Tyrande smiled. "Come, you're here on vacation, let's not darken the mood." 

Several weeks later, Bradly stuck his head in the bedroom. "Lydia?"

"Yeah?"

"How ya feeling?"

"Like I ate something wrong. Why?"

"I didn't see you down at the yard, and I was worried." He sat on the bed. "Period?"

She shook her head. "No. I've got a fever. Not sure why. Elunara's supposed to come try to fix me after her appointments."

"Oh." He rubbed his hand on her side. "I'm sorry I haven't... been there for you."

"Bradly, you had no way of knowing HOW to be there for me." She turned over and rubbed her hand on his leg. "In fact, I'm glad that you stayed away, because I'd hate to be angry at you for hovering. I needed Darguni, and now that I'm better, we can..." She put a hand to her mouth. "Bucket!"

He jolted and moved out of the way, holding her hair back. "Bleh. What did you EAT?"

"I don't know." She whimpered as she clung to the bucket. "But my stomach hates it."

"Where's Darguni?"

"At practice. I told him not to worry." 

Bradly grabbed a wet cloth and began to wash her face. "Well, Momma should be by soon, so I'll just wait with you, if that's ok."

"That's fine." She rubbed her cheek on his knee. 

"I finally make time for you, and you're too ill to function." He sighed. 

"Sorry."

"No, no don't apologize. It's my fault for not doing it sooner. I was... I was just afraid."

"I know, sweetie. I know." Lydia sighed. "I feel like my skin is on fire!" She whimpered. 

"Want me to run you a cool shower?"

"Maybe in a little bit." 

"Alright, where are you?" Elunara marched up the stairs. 

Lydia flailed her arm. "Help meeee!"

Bradly grabbed the towels. "I'll go change these out." 

Elunara sat on the bed and poured her energy into Lydia. "Well, you DO have a fever, that much is true, but I can help that out..." She focused on the source of the fever. "I find it interesting, in that mother was correct, you DO have self healing abilities, but you're unfocused and not as adept at using it as I am. I'll have to figure out how in the hell to train you for that. Meanwhile, your abilities were ignoring the fever in favor of the other thing."

"What other thing?" Lydia whimpered.

"Honey, you're pregnant."

Lydia jolted up. "I'm!" she grabbed her mouth. "Bucket!"

Elunara chuckled. "There ya go, my girl, that's the way." She got a clean towel and wiped Lydia's face. "You're lucky I have LOTS of experience in dealing with this mess."

"Oh, that feels so good."

Bradly jogged up. "Here's more towels. What's wrong with her, Momma?"

"Come on; let's take this to the training yard."

"Huh?"

Lydia stood up and wobbled. 

"I'll keep you steady and pump you full of the good stuff, so you'll be right as rain by time we get there." 

She was right, and Lydia was feeling a billion times better by time they made it down. She waved to Darguni and he jogged over. "Is everything alright?"

Lydia leaned against him and stood on her toes, putting her mouth to his ear. "I'm pregnant." She whispered. 

He couldn't have looked more stunned if she had slapped him. "I'm going to be a father?" He whispered.

Grinning, she nodded. "Yes."

"I'M GOING TO BE A DADDY!" He yelled. Everyone in the yard froze. He picked Lydia up and spun her around.

"DARGUNI! PUT ME DOWN!" 

"Oops, sorry." He deposited her on the ground.

She promptly threw up on his shoes. 

"Oh, Baby, I'm SO sorry!" He reached out. 

Grogek smacked his forehead before smacking Darguni on the back of the head. "NEVER spin a pregnant woman." 

Later, Darguni sat on the hill, Lydia leaned back in his lap. He ran his hands over her belly.

"You know, I've always been amused by people who do that, especially when I'm not showing in the least."

"But it's mine." He grinned. Leaning forward, he whispered. "I hope you're a boy." 

"Oh, geez."

"I want to be just like my dad... and train my son." 

"Of course you do." She giggled. "But what if it's a girl?"

"Then no one will hurt MY little girl." He growled.

"You're adorable." She grinned. She rubbed the back of her head on his chest. "I'm glad we have this spot. All the well wishers and curious are starting to make me ill. Elunara says that's normal for my absorption."

"Well, we ARE part of the most prominent family in the city, if not Azeroth. People are bound to flock."

"Ugh, Gingy is designing me a whole line of maternity clothes." 

He chuckled. "She used to be so mean to you."

"Yeah, well, Bradly used to be so mean to YOU. Funny how that works."

He kissed the top of her head. "Yeah." 

Days later, Lydia sat on the edge of the platform and wiggled her feet. She watched Darguni run through his drills and licked her lips. When he hit a stop point, he was immediately at her side, his hand on her belly. "How are you doing?"

"Kind of bored. I'm going to go for a walk." Laying her lips against his, she devoured his mouth until she felt she would exhaust herself. "Oops." She giggled, before wandering away. 

Darguni watched her walk away, running his tongue over his sensitive lips. Hearing his father step behind him, he sighed. "I'm so glad she finally feels safe enough to walk on her own again." 

Grogek nodded. "It brings us all some relief." He put a hand on Darguni's shoulder. "You know, son... you can still have sex with your wife, up until she's too big to function." 

"But..."

"If you have any questions on this, ask your mother. Last I heard, she's blessed the baby. That worked out well for Jenny and Susan, don't you think?"

"Hm."

"Yes, you can take the day to go maul your wife." Grogek chuckled. "You're going to be impossible to deal with until you do."

"But..."

"Today is fine. Make a habit of it and I ream your ass." 

Darguni didn't wait around to see if Grogek changed his mind.

"You know... I can't get over the fact that my son is an honest to goddess devoted." 

Grogek grinned at Elunara. "Given his parentage..."

"I know. He's a total horndog. Surprisingly, only for his wife."

Lydia hummed to herself and debated heading down to the stage for a song. 

"I can't believe they'd even LET you get pregnant." 

Lydia halted and blinked. Looking around, she spotted Tara stepping out of the shadows. 

Darguni halted and put his back to a wall.

"Must you?" Lydia sighed. "Can't you just let this DIE?"

"They should let that rat in your belly die." Tara crossed her arms. "Everyone knows how you were born. If it wasn't for that whore fixing your legs, you wouldn't even HAVE Darguni. Nothing like that SHOULD be born. Your parents should have dropped you in a ditch the moment they knew."

Shaking her head, Lydia sighed. "You think I haven't already heard these insults? Really? You think they bother me? Gods, you're just piping an old tune." She waved her hand. "I don't have time for this."

"Time?" Tara laughed. "Time? Time for what? You're just a well kept pet. Everyone knows that family does everything for you. You'll never have to work a day in your life."

"That's it." Lydia blinked. "THAT's your big scam. You... you want my place."

"As if." She snorted. "All I want; is that dick. It should have been MINE, not yours."

Lydia shook her head. "You're pathetic. You don't even qualify as a tramp, let alone a whore." She waved her hand. "This isn't worth my time. I may be a well kept pet, but I have something you'll never understand. I have love. I have worked my ASS off to get where I am in life. You may not see it, but you're just too damned blinded by the shiny to even care. Go away, Tara. You're just classless scum." 

"You don't know the first thing about CLASS!"

"Oh, I know it plenty. And you? Don't have it." Lydia dismissed the bitch and kept on walking.

Darguni worked his way around and waited down in the amphitheater. 

Lydia blinked. "How...?"

"Dad gave me the day off." He grinned. "I knew you'd head down here." 

"I was thinking of singing."

"I can make you sing." He winked. He saw the flash in her face and winced. "I'm SO sorry, baby."

With a sigh, she shook her head and headed up the stage steps. "No. I can't let that hurt me." Stopping by the curtains, she considered. "Sweetheart, will you help me with something?"

"Anything."

"Help me cleanse this place." 

"How?"

She held out her hand. "Make love to me back here."

"Your wish is my command." 

Later, he made his way through town, ignoring all else and heading for one person. He knocked on the door. 

Tara opened the door and blinked. Leaning her hip against the door, she grinned. "I hoped you'd come back."

"Here." He held out his hand.

Smiling, she held out her own. She blinked at the object in her hand. 

"Since you're so goddamned obsessed with my dick, you can fucking HAVE it."

"Darguni, I..."

"No. You listen to ME." He reached out and grabbed her chin. "You stay the fuck away from my wife."

"She..."

"No, she didn't TELL me, I HEARD it. You want the rat in her belly to die? Well, I want the rat in your HEAD to die. Stay the fuck away from me and mine." He shoved her back into the house. "I regret ever fucking a scumbag like you."



For The Whored: The Future: Ch. 22



Elunara stretched as she made her way down the stairs.

"You slept awful late." Susan grinned as she stuffed a spoonful into Tilly's mouth.

"Yeah, Jordan and I got a little... creative. He's probably cursing the bruises. I'll have to go down and give him a healing shot. Right after I do my in house medical checks." Elunara shook her head. "I sound like a healer." She snorted. Placing a hand on Susan's shoulder, she kissed her temple. "Ah, damn."

"What?" Susan blinked up. "What's wrong?

"I hate to tell you this, but you're pregnant again." 

Susan raised her arms and looked at her belly. "AW, DAMN IT! REALLY BODY? REALLY?"

"What's wrong?" Lydia leaned over the banister.

"I'm pregnant again." Susan tossed the spoon in the bowl. 

"Well, we can be pregnant together." Lydia grinned. 

"Yeah, but Tilly only barely hit seven months..." Susan sighed. "Now I have to be a boulder again." 

"Speaking of which, get down here so I can check you."

"Yes, Momma." Lydia stuck out her tongue. "Soon to be grand momma."

"That'll be a kick in the pants." Elunara ran her hand over Lydia's belly. "Everything looks good. Speaking of which, have you told Mother?"

"I haven't." Lydia shook her head.

Susan pointed at her own belly. "You damned well better be a boy, and then I QUIT!"

They went down to the training yard and waited. As predicted, Jordan grumbled at Elunara for healing. 

Darguni wrapped himself around Lydia.

"My angel, you're looking decidedly grumpy." Grogek kissed Susan's temple.

"I am! I'm pregnant AGAIN, so damned soon!" She stomped her foot.

Grogek blinked at her in shock. "Are you certain?"

"Wife number one told me so."

Elunara nodded. "It's true." 

"That's... unfortunate." He frowned. With a sigh, he ran his hands down her arms. "I am deeply thrilled that you'll be giving me a second child, but I'm worried about it hurting you." 

"Not like I got my body back in shape." Susan snorted. "Gods, I want to be happy, because I love children and I wanted to give you many... but so close? It's... awful."

"That's what I thought." 

Everyone looked up. 

"It was terrible alright, and it drove me to insanity." Zelinnia sat on the platform. "But, in the end? It worked out, and it was fine. The first few years were painful, but my children will always have each other." 

"I guess that's true." Susan ran her hands over her belly. "At least Tilly will have another half orc to play with." 

"It'll work, don't worry about it." She jerked her shoulder. "So, how close are the two going to be born?"

Elunara put her hands on both women and concentrated. "They'll be extremely close." She considered. "Same month if everything follows pattern, if not same week."

"Owch." Zelinnia winced

Jordan sighed. "No one's going to get any sleep." 

"Why are you here, sugarbutt?"

"I can't visit my sister and pregnant niece without an ulterior motive?"

Elunara snorted. "You can't leave your paperwork at this time of the day without an armed guard prying you off."

Zelinnia snorted. "You have me there." She sighed. "Johnathan and I were having a rather heated argument on parenting... philosophies, when I got mad enough to summon a fireball. A little afraid of my temper, I came to the one person who can keep me straight."

"What in the WORLD could make you mad enough to pull a fireball on Renwa?" Elunara blinked. 

"That assmonkey actually told me I needed to teach Abigail some more DOMESTIC skills."

"Wait, WHAT?"

"Yeah!" Zelinnia gestured at Elunara. "That, perhaps if I had gotten her more interested in CIVILISED pursuits, she wouldn't be such a handful to manage!"

"It was Renwa himself who said that women were some of our meanest and most cunning of soldiers and he wished more would get involved for the good of the alliance." Jordan gawked.

"Well, apparently, he has a double standard concerning his own daughter!" Zelinnia crossed her arms.

"Excuse me, I have to go beat the shit out of my oldest and closest friend." Elunara growled. 

Renwa jolted when Elunara kicked open the door. He sighed and leaned back. 

"WHAT THE HELL?"

"I take it she told you?"

"No shit, Sherlock."

He scrubbed his hands through his hair. "Maybe I handled that wrong."

"Renwa..." She warned.

He tapped his pen on the table. "Look, I don't know what to do, OK? Abigail was found hiding out in the men's bunker."

"What?" Elunara blinked.

"She's lucky one of the officers found her and not..." He shuddered. "I've been in here with my head on my desk thinking... "What did I do wrong?" I mean, What in the WORLD was she THINKING?" He scrubbed his fingers in his hair again. "Did I do this? Did YOU?" He dropped his hands and sighed. "I took it out on Zelinnia."

"Does SHE know about this?"

He winced. "No. I had hoped to spare her from the disappointment." 

"You fucking idiot. That's why we HAVE the strict honesty policy in my house. To prevent these stupid misunderst-- Has Abigail been hanging out with Tina lately?"

"Yes, why?"

"I'll have that little shit's ass on a PLATTER!" Elunara growled. "Tina has been... a pain in the ass lately. I'll talk to her, and I'll get to the bottom of this." 

Tina yelped when a hand grabbed her arm. "LET GO!" 

"Calm down."

"Oh!" Tina gasped. "Don't DO that Elunara!" She put a hand to her chest.

"Did you put Abigail up to going into the men's bunker?"

Tina froze. "She actually did it?" She whispered. 

"Tina..." Elunara growled. 

"NO! WAIT! I SWEAR!" Tina flapped her arms. "It was MONTHS ago! I... I had tried to get in there..." Blushing, she fiddled with her fingers. "There are a couple of guys in there that I... like. I tried and kept getting caught. But, ABIGAIL is the top commander's daughter. They wouldn't DARE say anything to her!" Swallowing, she fidgeted. "But then... I saw the error in my judgment... so I dropped the pursuit. I guess I never told Abigail that I quit." 

Elunara grabbed Tina's arm. "Come on, you have a worried father to explain yourself to." 

"You did WHAT?" Renwa slammed his hands on the desk. He visibly shook. "Do you have ANY idea how STUPID and DANGEROUS that is???"

"But, I've changed! I swear I have! I won't... I don't do it anymore!" Tina put her hands together and began to cry.

"Quite frankly," Elunara interrupted. "I think it's Tina who should learn... domestic abilities. I say that Zelinnia has a new assistant for a few weeks."

"Children are such a pain, are we sure about this?" Lydia chuckled. They sat on the hill.

"Too late, you can't back out now." Darguni kissed her shoulder. 

"I swear your mother checks me every ten minutes."

"Our mother." He licked her shoulder. 

"Hm, true." She rubbed her hand on his thigh. She shuddered. 

"What's the matter?"

"Ugh, that was an awful thought."

He slipped his hand down the front of her skirt. "What was?"

"Twins." 

He shuddered. "I agree with that."

"Remember..." She gasped as he slipped his finger in her. "Poor Jenny as weeeee..." She shivered against him. "grew up." She panted. 

He lightly raked his teeth over her shoulder and slipped a second finger into her. He pumped his fingers in and out while she clung to his legs. "Come for me, my beauty. I want to feel you."

Arching against him, she gasped as his thumb found that tender pink nub at the top. She shook with the force of it, as she clamped down on his fingers.

Chuckling, he licked his fingers clean. "Whatever it is, it's mine." He cuddled her in his lap. "Just like you are." He grinned. 

Days later, Lydia groaned. "I thought you said the nausea went away around the fourth month." She laid on the couch.

Elunara laughed. "Alright, alright let me get you fixed up." He began to rub Lydia's back while she poured her energy out. "You're a right mess."

"I'm next!" Susan came down stairs. "I swear, I didn't have this much heartburn with Tilly."

Shaking her head, Elunara worked her minor miracle on Lydia. "Well, I'll be damned."

Lydia sat up and stretched. "Oh, that's so much better." 

"Sugarsweet..."

"Yeah, Momma?"

"You're having twins."

Lydia laughed. "Good one." 

"I'm not joking." 

"WHAT?!" She shrieked. 

"I'm also not wrong. There's two swimming around in there." 

Lydia screamed at the top of her lungs.

Darguni stopped what he was doing and frowned. "Did you hear that too?"

Grogek frowned. "Elunara is home today."

"Alright." 

Elunara laughed. "While she comes to grips with that, let me work on you, Sweetie." 

Susan laughed and sat on the couch. "I'll pass on the backrub today."

"Alright." Putting her hands on Susan's shoulders, she began to channel her energy. After a moment Elunara broke contact. "Oh, fuck." 

"What?" Susan grabbed her belly. "What's wrong?"

"Uhhhh, well..." Elunara rubbed the back of her neck.

Darguni and Grogek stared at each other before bolting for the house. 

Elunara was leaning against the post, her hand on her mouth. Both Lydia and Susan had wrapped their arms around each other and were taking turns screaming and crying.

"Baby! What's wrong?!"

"Susan, what's the matter?" 

Both women just started crying hysterically. 

"Please speak to me!" Both men cried.

It was mayhem as both women couldn't get a word out, and both men were trying desperately to get answers.

"DADDIES!" Elunara clapped her hands. "THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH YOUR BABIES! All FOUR of them!"

Both men turned back. "Four?" They both said at once. When Elunara nodded, they looked at each other. "TWINS?" They yelled. The men promptly fell over backwards in perfect unison.

"I'll be damned." Elunara blinked. "Orcs CAN faint!"

Jordan opened the door. "I saw..." He blinked at the scene. "The FUCK?" He pointed.

"Oh, I just discovered both ladies are having twins."

Jordan blinked. "I'm out of here!"

Elunara grabbed him by the arm. "Help me wake the daddies, THEN you can escape." 

Jordan knelt down. "I never knew I'd even see Grogek like this."

Elunara dumped a pitcher of water on Darguni. 

"GAH!" 

Jordan shook his head and smacked Grogek's face. "Come on, big guy."

Grogek sat up and put his hand on his head. "Ugh."

"What are we going to do with two?" Darguni whimpered.

"You mean four." Grogek grunted.

"We might need to add a wing to the house." Elunara considered. "I'll do some plans."

"Should we move out?" Darguni frowned.

"Oh, HELL no." Lydia crossed her arms. "I ain't handling two kids on my own."

"I'll be there."

"You can't quit work!"

"That's true."

"No one's moving out, son." Grogek sighed

"How does this even happen?" Darguni whimpered.

"I suspect it has something to do with the sheer volume you're pumping into these tiny human bodies."

"Thanks for the visual, love." Grogek put his hand over his face.

"I know for a fact that a full load from Grogek is twice what Jordan pumps out."

"LOVE, ENOUGH!"

"What?" Elunara tossed up her hands. "It's true."

"Gods, I jinxed myself." Lydia flopped over. 

"Then you jinxed me too!" Susan whacked Lydia on the leg.



For The Whored: The Future: Ch. 23



Sighing, Lydia wandered the city, debating on what to do about her latest predicament. She hadn't told anyone about the twins yet, because she was still coming to grips with it herself.

Grogek sighed as he made his way into the house for a clean shirt. He just wasn't himself today; his mind was racing with all of the options they had. Susan didn't have near the difficult pregnancy that Elunara had had, but twins were a different discussion. He hoped her tiny body could support two. Once he was cleaned up, he headed out. Spotting Lydia, he grinned. Now, grandchildren... that was something else entirely.

"Come on, Dageeri. That's the way, old girl." The Draenei farmer patted the elekk on her side. "Let's get you hooked up, and we'll head out." The Elekk shook her head over and over, tugging at the harness with her trunk. "What's wrong with you?" He tugged at the harness, trying to figure out what was plaguing his animal. Without warning, she trumpeted and bolted. "NO!" He yelled. "RUN AWAY ELEKK!" He screamed, as he chased her down.

Grogek spotted the Elekk and followed its path. Bolting, he charged at Lydia. Lydia was rubbing her belly, singing, and missed the commotion. Darguni and Elunara heard Lydia's scream and Grogek's roar of pain. Both dropped what they were doing and ran. 

Lydia skidded across the soft grass. Looking up, she jumped and ran over to Grogek, dropping down beside him. 

"Are you alright?" He gasped.

"Yes, father." She laid her hands on his chest. "How are you hurt?"

Elunara dropped down. "GROGEK!" 

"What happened?" Darguni wrapped his arms around Lydia. 

"Oh, I'm so sorry!" The farmer ran down. "Something happened to Dageeri, and she just went nuts!" He winced. "I wish you hadn't punch her." He ran his hands on his unconscious Elekk.

"Always hated Elekks." Grogek grunted as he sat up. "Your stupid pet almost trampled a pregnant woman." 

"Grogek, your leg is completely shattered." Elunara bit down on her emotions and ran her hand over it. "We need to get you to Ina, this is beyond me."

Lydia stood up and put her hands on the animal. "Huh." 

"What, baby?" Darguni helped his father to stand. 

"I can feel..." Lydia ran her hands along the harness, before yanking it to the side. "Well, that's nasty." 

Elunara glared. "YOU USE A SPIKE COLLAR?"

"NO!" The man gasped. "I'd never!!"

"Momma, don't kill him. It's not even attached." Lydia pulled it loose. "I only see the one hole." She ran her hand along the band. "It looks like a terrible accident." 

"Take the beast to Jim at the stables. He'll fix your Elekk." Darguni nodded.

"Come on, Sugarbear, let's get you to Ina." Elunara and Darguni supported Grogek, as they made their way to the healer building. Lydia gave directions to the man, before following after her family. 

The rest of the city quickly heard what happened, and the door became crowded. Jordan shoved his way through. "I've heard most of it, but..."

"Grogek's leg is just shattered to hell." Elunara sighed. "I'm helping Ina to set it, but, like my ankle, it's going to take awhile to heal. Probably weeks. This is far beyond Bradly's arm, and that took two and a half weeks." 

Jordan raked his fingers through his hair "Shit. This is going to fuck up training." 

"Darguni can handle it." Grogek snorted. 

Everyone froze and stared at Darguni, who looked like he'd been punched in the face. "Me?" He squeaked. 

"You're ready to take over for me until I'm healed." Grogek shrugged. 

"I... I'll do you proud." Darguni straighten up and nodded. 

The next day, Grogek sat on the bed, his arms crossed. "I do NOT want to sit around the house all day."

Susan giggled. "Aw, but you could keep me company."

Elunara leaned against Grogek. "Would you like my recommendation?"

"What is it?"

"Today, go to the yard, sit with me, and stand, figuratively of course, behind your decision to give the yard to your son. Then, take a few days off, and let him fly solo. Backing away, will show your support more effectively than hanging over his shoulder." 

He nodded. "Your words are wise, as always." 

"What's he doing?" Jordan leaned against the doorframe. 

"We're taking him down to the yard today." Elunara grinned. 

Grogek got comfortable on the platform. "Well, it's not the first time I've just stood and watched." 

"Sir?"

"Yes, Tabitha?"

"Do... you need anything?" 

He shook his head. "My family has it." He nodded. "You damned well better listen to my son."

"Of course." She stiffened her back and walked over to Darguni. 

Elunara watched the woman. "Interesting."

Grogek frowned. "She's accelerating, isn't she?"

"No. She's trying to figure herself out." 

"Ah." 

Lydia put her hands on Grogek's shoulders and leaned forward. "Do you need anything?"

"No, I'm good." He patted her hand. "I remember that you called me father."

She blushed. "I guess I did." Looking out, she grinned. "Darguni is looking vaguely uncomfortable, but he hides it well."

Grogek chuckled. "I'm fascinated that you notice."

"Well," Lydia blushed. "I..." 

He patted her hand again. "Love." Was all he said.

"You know what else is fascinating?" Elunara grinned. 

"I'm on pins and needles, love." Grogek snorted. 

"Lydia is pouring energy into you. I can feel it."

Lydia jerked her hands up. 

Elunara laughed. "Sweetheart, don't stop, you're helping me heal his leg just that much faster." 

"Oh!" Lydia put her hands back on his shoulders. 

"You have no skill with it, so I'm helping to direct it. It's not much, but every little bit gets him walking faster." 

"Fascinating." She leaned against Grogek's back. "Can you train me in it?"

"Right now. Close your eyes, like I taught you, and find the energy within you. Feel your hands, feel his body beneath you, and trace that line." 

"I feel it." She breathed. She looked at Elunara in awe. 

"We can work with that." Elunara winked. 

Grogek chuckled and patted Lydia's hand. "You are your mother's daughter." 

Lydia wrapped her arms around his neck and knelt behind him. "I love you." She whispered. 

He blinked at her. "I love you too, my daughter." 

Elunara blinked. "Holy shit, kid. That was a hell of an energy shot." She ran her hand over Grogek's leg. 

Once he could reasonably step away, Darguni made his way to the platform. "What was I missing?" He ran his hand down Lydia's back.

"Lydia can heal." Elunara grinned. "Oh, and some father/daughter bonding." She waved her hand. "That kind of thing." She winked. 

Darguni's eyebrows shot up. "Really?" He tugged Lydia free and cuddled her into his arms. "Sweetheart, why are you crying?"

"I don't know." She sniffled. 

"She's pregnant. Her emotions are higher on the surface." Elunara grinned. 

"Don't I know it?" Susan parked the stroller and sat beside Elunara. 

Grogek reached over and stroked her belly. "How are you today?"

"Coming along." Susan sighed. "I'm going to be twice the size, aren't I?"

Elunara shrugged. "Jenny had two, and no one knew it until they popped out of her." 

"Well, that's sort of comforting." Susan put her hand over Grogek's. "Why couldn't they have waited a couple of years to pop up?" She sighed.

"Probably because when your body kick started for Tilly, it unlocked the rest of the ability." Elunara shifted around so she could lean against Grogek's back. "Since none of us expected it, I didn't think to have you take the preventative. I'm sorry." She sighed.

"It's not your fault." Susan shifted over to Grogek. "You know, if you're going to hang out here, you should sit center, so we can both have you." She kissed his cheek. 

He tugged her over and made better work of kissing her. Once he released her, he grinned. "I intend to follow advice, and spend a fair amount of time at home, pretending I like being tended to." 

Susan giggled. "That should be interesting for a few days."

"You are?" Darguni squeaked, before clearing his throat. "Well, if that's the advice." He said in a normal tone.

Grogek reached down and put his hand on Darguni's shoulder. "You're doing a good job, son. Now get back out there before I smack you." 

After giving Lydia another cuddle and a kiss, he tucked her back on the platform and headed back into the yard. 

She giggled and mimicked Elunara, leaning her back against Grogek. "Does this work?"

Elunara nodded. "This works plenty."

"Come on! Come on, Bradly, I want to show you!" Bryan tugged on Bradly's arm. 

Bradly chuckled. "Is this going to be like the last time you blindfolded me?"

"No! Well, maybe." Bryan giggled. He shoved Bradly into his house and yanked the blindfold off. "TADA!" 

Bradly's eyes went wide and his mouth dropped open. It was a life sized marble statue of him in a reclining pose, completely naked, dick hard, and hand on his balls. 

"Isn't it fabulous?" Bryan clapped his hands together. 

"It's... It's... Um..."

"You don't like it?" His face fell.

"I'm just trying to figure out where I'm supposed to put it..." 

"Oh!" Bryan put his hands on his hips. "Hm, I didn't think that far ahead."

Bradly walked around it and examined the creation. "It's very... accurate." 

"I did it mostly on feel." Bryan blushed. "Anyway, I guess it could stay here. When we get a place together... well I already have a place, so I guess when you move out, it would be here anyway."

"Wait, what? Uhh, we haven't... gotten that far." He said weakly. 

"Oh." Bryan swallowed and frowned. "I'm... sorry?"

"One thing at a time, I'm still stuck on this..." He put his hand on the knee of the statue. "Marvelous thing here." 

"You like it?" Bryan practically bounced.

"Sure, let me show my appreciation." Bradly grinned. 

Later at night, Bradly found his way home. Seeing his mother sitting on the couch, he flung himself into her lap. 

Blinking down at Bradly, she sat her board to the side. "You haven't done this since you were twelve."

"What am I supposed to do with a six foot long statue of myself jacking off?"

She choked. "WHAT?" 

"Bryan made a big ass statue of me out of marble." He shuddered. "It's ridiculously accurate."

"Ok, I have to see this thing."

"Where's Grogek?"

"Soaking in the tub while I did a commission. Hold on, I'm telling him where I'm going." She got up and disappeared into the back, while Bradly wallowed on the couch. 

Darguni jogged down stairs and blinked at Bradly. "What's up with you?"

"Hey, while you're busy at the yard... do you mind if I take Lydia on a picnic?"

"Sure, knock yourself out. She'd probably love it." He went digging. "She got a craving for some fruit." He winked.

At Grogek's bark of laughter, Bradly groaned.

"What's that about?" Darguni jerked his head.

"Bryan made a six foot statue of me jacking off. I'm sure mother's told him already."

Darguni choked. "Oh, GODS, man!"

"Kill me." Bradly sighed. "Anyway, I figured while you're distracted, I'd work a little on the relationship..."

"Knock yourself out." Darguni shrugged. "I'd do her some good to pull her mind away from the twins." As he jogged back up the stairs with his prizes, he snorted. "Hell, it'd do ME some good."

Standing in Bryan's apartment, Elunara held her hand over her mouth, struggling to suppress the giggle fit. When she was finally able to tamp it down, she put her hands on her hips. "I'll be damned, Bryan. I am thoroughly impressed." She walked around the statue. "Your commitment to detail is above par."

"You mean it?" Bryan clasped his hands together.

Bradly just groaned. "Mom!"

"I'm serious!" She bent over for further inspection. "The amount of detail that went into this is amazing." She ran her hand up the penis. "Realistic feel; and you carved this?" She looked back. 

"All by hand." Bryan blushed. "I kind of... felt it out as I went."

"Not that I've actually seen him like this, but I've seen more than enough dicks, let me tell you. Even the texturing on the balls is amazing."

"MOTHER!"

"Oh, hush Bradly. You know what I mean."

"I do not want my MOTHER analyzing my JUNK."

She put her hands on her hips. "I've never understood why, when describing their package, men go for the term "Junk". I mean, you're proud of them every other time in the world, why throw em away when you're embarrassed?"

"Fine." Bradly growled. "I don't want my mother analyzing my PACKAGE."

"Better. But, lose the attitude. This was a work made out of love and dedication. It's nothing short of miraculous."

Bryan preened under the praise. "Thank you!"

"I mean, your drawings are pretty good, this, THIS! This is your real calling." She gestured to the statue. Once again, she ran her hand over the dick. "Even in the base, towards the hand, you don't lose that detail. It's incredible."

"MOTHER!"

"Oh, stop. Gods, you're as bad as Darguni when I did the cast mold, and I actually had to HANDLE him."

Bradly smacked a hand to his face. "Why am I NOT surprised that Darguni had his dick cast molded?"



For The Whored: The Future: Ch. 24



Bradly stuck his head in the door. "Um, Lydia?"

On the couch, Grogek sat in the middle, Susan leaned against him from one side, Elunara leaned against him from the other. Lydia leaned over the back of the couch, her arms around Grogek's neck. "Yes, Bradly?" she straightened up, her hands on Grogek's shoulders. 

He stepped in and cleared his throat. "Would you... like to go on a picnic?"

"Oh, but I can't." She looked down. 

Elunara whacked Lydia's hand. "Yes you can. You're a boost, but not THAT much of a boost. Go, get off your feet and take your mind off of things."

Grogek pat Lydia's hands. "I agree. I appreciate your efforts, but don't change your life for me." 

"You can always come back after." Susan smiled up. 

"Oh, alright." Lydia sighed. 

"You don't have to if you don't want to." Bradly frowned and tugged at his collar. "I was just trying..."

"I'm going, I'm going." Lydia sighed. "Before one of them just picks me up and throws me out the door." She snorted.

After the door closed, Grogek licked his teeth. "Now which one of you am I getting in my lap first?" He winked. 

Outside, Bradly hefted the basket. "I got Tippy to make us up a lunch."

"Oo! You should have started with that. Did she include her chocolate cake?"

"No idea, let's find out." He took her hand. 

She sighed. "Poor Grogek. I've never seen him injured like this."

"None of us have." Bradly shrugged. "We're all surprised he's letting Darguni lead so early."

"I'm not. I watch you two. If something happened to Jordan, you would take over for him, I know it." She sighed. "Darguni is uncomfortable with the situation, but I think the longer he works at it, the better he will feel about himself. You're both ready, you just don't know it yet." She shrugged. 

He squeezed her hand. "Thank you."

Shrugging again, she brushed her hair out of her face. "Just stating fact." 

He led the way up to portal lake. Laying out the blanket, he sat the basket down, and helped her to sit, before unloading the basket. "So... twins..."

"Ugh, don't remind me." She rubbed her hands on her belly. "At least I don't suffer alone, and at least Susan is as freaked out as I am." 

"I'm sorry." He rubbed his hand on her belly and sighed. 

"Don't let my bad attitude ruin the picnic." She cuddled up close to him. "I'm sure that, like Elunara... I'll come to terms with it and enjoy the rest of it."

"Yeah. I hope so." He said quietly.

"What's wrong?" She brushed his hair out of his face. 

"I'd always hoped that we... well, I guess I'm jealous of my brother at this moment. I wanted you to be having OUR child."

"Oh." She poked at her food. "I'm... not certain what to say." 

"Me either." He shrugged. Taking her hand into his, he kissed the back of it. "But at least I still have a chance with your heart." 

"Oh, Bradly..." She brushed her lips against his. 

His fingers crushed into her hair, as he pulled her into his embrace. He explored the tastes and textures of her mouth, inhaling her wonderful female scent, as his fingers threaded through her hair. "It's you I want. It's you I'm desperate for."

"Bradly..."

"I've screwed up so badly. But, I'll fix it. I'll show you." He whispered. 

Laying her head on his shoulder, she giggled softly. "And how do you plan on doing that?"

"I have no idea. But damn it, I'm going to try." He tugged her into his lap. "I'll be there for you. Anything you need at all." 

"Just so long as you don't alter your life for it, or become obsessed." She poked his nose. "I KNOW you. Don't do it, or you're back to square one."

He rubbed his hands over her belly. "I know, I know. I'll do my best." He kissed her neck. 

"Well it's obvious who raised YOU!" 

They both blinked over at the woman glaring at them. 

"Oh, hello Ember." Lydia sighed. 

"You marry that orc brat, and here you are, cheating on him with his brother." 

"As if you care about Darguni's feelings." Lydia rolled her eyes. "As someone who has a closet full of Tulani designs, you're awful judgmental of her family." Lydia got comfy in Bradly's lap. "Would be a shame for her to find out about it."

Ember glared. "You wouldn't dare."

"Like there's a thing you can do to me." Lydia rolled her eyes. "WHY are you out here anyway?"

"I just left Gingy's house, and she's looking for you. Light only knows why she likes YOU so damned much. But I "promise promised" I'd find your ass. Someone pointed me this way. I've delivered my message, so fuck you very much." She flipped Lydia off as she walked away.

Lydia groaned. "Save me."

"Ember's just a dumb socialite..."

"Not HER. Gingy. She probably wants me to spend the next six hours trying on dresses. AGAIN." 

"Barf on her."

"I just might." She snorted.

With some regret, Lydia knocked on the door. 

"Come in!"

Lydia pushed her way in. "Gingy, you really shouldn't leave your bolts by the door." 

Gingy popped up. "YOU!"

"Uh, yeah. You asked for me."

"HOW DARE YOU?!"

Lydia jolted back against the door. "What?!"

"YOU!!!" Gingy stomped her feet and her face went brilliant red. "HOW DARE YOU!"

"Gingy..." Lydia sighed. "I need context."

"You didn't tell me you were having TWINS!" She crossed her arms. "ARE WE NOT FRIENDS?"

"Gingy..."

"WELL?"

"GINGY! I HAVEN'T TOLD ANYONE! I'm not even sure how YOU know." 

Gingy's lip quivered.

"Oh, gods. Stop."

"You wouldn't even tell your best friend?"

"I..." Lydia blinked. "I guess you are my best friend." She cocked her head to the side. "That's vaguely terrifying."

"What's THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?" Gingy sat in the floor and began to wail.

"Oh, Gingy don't..." Lydia held up her hands and groaned. Why hadn't Elunara's social lessons taken? She stooped down and put her hands on Gingy's shoulders. "I didn't mean it like that. I just never took the time to realize who was there for me and who was not. You went from being my worst enemy to one of the few females in the world I could speak to." 

Gingy sniffled. "You mean it?"

"I'm not good at lying, you know that." She snorted. "Though, next time... don't send Ember after me. I hate that nasty bitch."

"Well, if you'd tell me yourself!" Gingy crossed her arms.

"I'm still trying to tell myself, thank you very much." Lydia tugged Gingy up. 

"What?"

She sighed and rubbed her belly. "I wanted one. But two? I don't know what to do with myself right now." 

"Oh, I wish I had one." Gingy sighed. "But I can never find a man that can tolerate me for very long." She sighed. "They take one look at my fabrics and... bolt." She giggled. "But not YOU! My! Two men vying for your attention." She sighed. "So romantic." 

Lydia giggled. "Most of the city might argue with you. In any event, have you tried Elunara's dating service?"

"I never think of it. Oh, you're going to need SO many maternity clothes!" She went digging through a pile of fabric. "Now where did I leave that notebook?"

"You ever think about getting Elunara to design you a workspace at the very least? This place is a disaster, it's a wonder you can make anything at all."

"You know... that would be lovely. She did Tulani's work space, didn't she?"

"Of course."

"You think you can clear a consult for me?"

"I'll send her over."

"You're the best!" Gingy clung to Lydia.

Bradly leaned against the platform and watched Darguni. He really did seem to have the yard well in hand. Of course, Darguni had his entire life well in hand. 

Done for the day, Darguni rubbed his neck as he headed out. He blinked at Bradly. "Thought you were taking Lydia on a picnic."

"Did." He grinned. "She got summoned by Gingy, so..." He waved a hand.

"Ugh. Lydia's usually in an ill mood after Gingy's been at her." They headed home. 

"You know, it's been lonely in the lower bedroom." Bradly sighed. 

"Terribly sorry." Darguni grinned. 

"Yeah, right." 

"I guess it would be a little weird, since we've been sharing a bedroom since we were seven." 

"Over fifteen years." 

"I'm surprised you haven't moved Bryan in." Darguni snorted.

Bradly winced. "It's not... I'm not crazy about the idea, actually." 

"Hm."

"I really need to figure that out." Bradly rubbed his neck. 

"Not working out?" Darguni chugged from his water bottle. 

"Can we take this to the room?" Bradly looked around nervously. "Every time I open my mouth, I stick my LEGS in my damned mouth." 

Darguni snorted. "Sure." 

Once in Bradly's room, he flopped down on the bed. "Is it weird that when I'm away from Bryan, I would tell you I'm straight? When I'm with him... It's an entirely different discussion." He raked his fingers through his hair. "I spent a lot of time with him while you two were off... but like, the second I can catch air, it's like "What the HELL am I DOING?". Yet, the moment I walk back in his space..." 

"That is a really weird place to be." Darguni rubbed his neck. "I'm not really the person to discuss this with." 

"I certainly can't discuss it with Bryan or Lydia." 

"Mother."

"Mother would KILL me if I hurt Bryan."

"But you're hurting yourself like this."

"Ugh, the statue just made everything so much worse, and he keeps hinting about me moving in with him." Bradly flopped back and buried his face under his pillow. 

"Not sure if you're expecting ME to do anything."

"I'm not. I'm just ranting at this point." He sighed. 

At the knock on the door, Darguni popped the door open. 

"They said you came in here." Lydia brushed her lips against Darguni's.

"Bradly's a broken record over here." He snorted. "Apparently, he only loves Bryan when he's in the same room with him."

"That's... a bit odd." Lydia blinked. 

"That's a tidy summary." Bradly grumbled. 

"What does Elunara say about it?"

"He hasn't told her."

Lydia winced. "You better. This comes out on its own and she'll have your head." 

"Ugh, that's a valid point." Bradly sighed. "I'll take it to her tomorrow." He sat up. "What did Gingy want?"

"To yell at me because I didn't tell her about the twins."

"Ah." 

"No idea how she even found out." 

"She didn't tell you?"

"She got distracted by fashion." Lydia shrugged. "If you're done, I rather want my husband at the moment."

Bradly waved a hand. "Fine, fine, but I want to get my hands on you another time." He grinned. 

"We'll... discuss it." She winked. Tugging Darguni by the hand, she headed up. 

He eyed her with curiosity. "Something tells me you have a direction in mind."

"I want you to train me again." She grinned up at him. 

"Is that so?"

"I do believe I'm ready for the next size..."

"You know..." He tugged her back and wrapped his arms around her waist. "That's the size before me... in fact... it's the human size..."

"Yes, but I want you there first... before I include... him."

With a growl, he dove for her mouth, pressing her back against the stairwell wall. His lips danced with hers as his tongue went for hers. When they were breathless with it, he pulled back and put his hand against the wall.

"You come first." She breathed. "You will always come first to me."

He scooped her up and practically ran for the bed. In a rush, he tore her shirt and winced. "I'm so--"

She assaulted his mouth. "Gods, take me." She growled back.

Ripping off her shirt, he tore the skirt and had his own gear off in record time. His mouth claimed hers as he buried himself until her sopping wet center. He groaned as he pumped against her in solid desperation. Her legs wrapped around his waist, and her nails scraped down his back. Wincing with the pain of it, his breath sped up and he rammed himself over and over again, his hands sliding up and down her tiny body. Shaking with the force of it, he filled her with a growl. 

Collapsing to the side, he gasped. "That's kind of new." 

Gently, she ran her tongue over her lips "I agree." She put a hand to her forehead. Blinking at her fingernails, she jolted up. "Darguni!" Her bloody nails terrified her. 

He rolled over so she could look. "Yeah, babe you kind of went nuts." 

Running her hands over his shoulders, she blinked. "You're healed already. A little scarred..." 

He chuckled. "Well, little wild cat, at least you healed your damage."

"But, I didn't." She frowned. "I don't think I did..." She ran her hand over the scars. "Can... I try something?"

"What?"

"Um... can I cut you?"

He laughed. "What?"

"I think you healed yourself." She whispered. 

Considering, he stood up. "Best way..." He summoned his axe, and then lightly gashed his arm. Holding out his bleeding arm, he watched with some interest, as the small cut healed itself, leaving a matching scar. "Really, now?" He cut his arm deeper. It took longer, but the result was the same. "Ok, that is seriously cool." 

Lydia ran her hand on his arm. "That's... fascinating. I guess you get it from your mother." 

"Our mother." He winked. 

She giggled. "Funny how that works."

"I believe that is her line."

"Enough about her, we can tell her tomorrow. Tonight... I believe I requested you train me." She laid across the bed on her belly and grinned back at him. 

He dismissed his axe and tugged out the box.



For The Whored: The Future: Ch. 25



Grogek sat on the couch, flipping through his book.

"Dad, where's mom?" 

He frowned. "Shouldn't you have left?"

"I need mom. Eh, I guess it can wait." Darguni snorted.

"What's wrong?"

"Oh, nothing's wrong." He pulled his axe and raked it across his arm.

Grogek's eyebrows shot up. 

Holding a finger up, Darguni grinned as the cut healed itself. "Cool, huh?" He held his arm out. 

Grogek ran a hand over the faint scar. "We wondered how her powers would manifest in you." 

"Found out last night when Lydia raked the hell out of my back." He laughed. 

Grogek grinned. "I see."

Darguni flushed and coughed. "Anyway, I'll just catch her whenever." He headed out the door. 

Lydia wandered downstairs. "Where's Elunara?"

"Out on a delivery. She should be back shortly."

She sat down on the couch and sighed. "Ugh, spent this morning barfing. Darguni was holding my hair and washing my face." She sighed and laid back. "I need her to teach me the nausea thing so I can do it on my own."

"Hm." 

She leaned forward. "That's not one of her books."

"It may be hard to believe, but I enjoy reading."

Lydia straightened up and turned deep red. "I didn't mean it like that."

He chuckled. "I am not offended, little one." Holding out a hand, he smiled. "May I?"

"Oh! Oh, yes course." 

He placed a hand on her growing belly. "They are not big enough to be active yet, but I hope that when they are, you will let me get a first feel of my grandchildren." 

As she stared at his warm smile, she felt her face go hot. She shifted uncomfortably and ducked her head. "O-of course." She stammered.

He frowned and moved his hand. "Did I say something wrong?"

"N-no sir..." She brushed her hair out of her face. "It's just... Darguni has your smile." She mumbled. "Well, not... EXACTLY, it's a little lopsided, because of the whole... one fang thing... but it's there." 

"Is that so?" He murmured. Chuckling, he kissed the top of her head. "You're a funny little thing." 

With a sigh, she put her hands on his leg. "I guess I should work on this while Elunara isn't here to do it." 

"Darguni showed me his new trick." He patted her head. 

She went red again. "Did he tell you how we figured it out?" 

"What do you think?"

"Oh, I'm going to kill him." She growled. 

He just laughed.

She began concentrating, but shook her head. "Oh, not again!" She jumped and ran.

Grogek winced as he heard her begin to puke. He sighed at his damned leg, and his inability to help her. He hoped Susan wasn't having the same issue on her walk. Elunara finally made her appearance. "Love, can you go help Lydia?" He pointed. "She's barfing her little heart out." 

"Oo, boy." She headed on back. "Hey, doll." She stooped down and brushed Lydia's hair back.

"Help." Lydia whimpered.

"Let's get it all out..." Elunara went for the rags and wetting one, began to clean Lydia's face. "Alright, let's fix this." She began to channel her energy into the ill girl. 

Lydia curled up in her lap. "Momma..." she whimpered.

"That's my girl." She cuddled her. 

"Why is it like this?" Lydia muttered. 

"Your body isn't happy with you. Keep in mind, though... I was sick the first half so bad that I couldn't leave the bed. You just have occasional bouts. It's not so bad."

"I guess not. I tried to heal Grogek, and my stomach said "fuck you"."

"Then don't. You can work another day. If you try, your body will just pull away from healing your upset belly."

"Damn." She muttered. "Oh, Darguni can heal himself. Or I should say small injuries are healing on their own."

"Really?" Elunara's eyebrows shot up. "Fascinating."

"I... well I noticed when I ripped his back up." She held up her hand. "I had no idea my nails were so sharp." 

Taking Lydia's hand, she ran her finger over a nail. "Well, fuck." She eyed her bleeding finger.

Lydia scooted out of Elunara's lap. "Is it bad?"

"You need to be careful with these things." Elunara moved Lydia's hand back and forth and flexed the fingers. "Very curious." She jumped up and dragged Lydia with her. "Sugarbear, I need to borrow you."

"Huh?"

"Hold out your arm." 

Grogek complied. 

"Scratch him."

"What?" They both asked at once. 

"I'll heal it, just scratch him." 

"A-alright." She scratched at Grogek's arm.

"Like you mean it, girly."

"But..." She frowned. "I don't want to hurt him."

"Just fucking DO it."

Grogek shook his head. "Love, don't be mean to the girl. Lydia, you're not capable of hurting me. Just humor her for whatever strange reason she has."

"Pretend it's one of those nasty bitches." Elunara gestured. "I can't deal with it, if you don't give me an example."

Lydia closed her eyes and concentrated. She thought of that nasty little bitch Ember. Putting some anger into it, she clawed Grogek's arm. 

"FUCK!" He jolted back and stared in disbelief at his bleeding arm. 

Elunara grabbed his arm and examined the scratches. "Just as I thought." She poured her energy into his arm until only faint scars peered back. 

"Oh, Gods! I'm so sorry!" She wrapped her arms around Grogek's waist. "Please forgive me!"

He blinked down at her, still in shock. "Little she wolf... that was quite impressive."

"Looks like another side effect." Elunara eyed Lydia's hand. "You now know to be careful with those. You could do some serious damage." 

"How did you know I would hurt him?" Tears streamed down Lydia's face. 

"Because you hurt Darguni. I learned ages ago that his skin is just as tough as his daddy's. If you damaged him..." Elunara gestured absently. "Now scoot over. I think I should heal both of you today."

"Me?" Lydia grabbed her mouth and ran.

Elunara sighed. "Poor girl." 

"Our little Lydia is turning into quite the thing." Grogek murmured.

"Yes, yes she is. Let me go dose her and I'll be back." 

At break, Darguni grinned at Bradly. "Hey, want to see something cool?"

Bradly pushed his hair out of his face. "Sure." 

Darguni pulled his axe and raked it across his arm.

"What the HELL, MAN?"

"Watch." Holding out his arm, he grinned as it healed. "Cool, huh?"

"Goddamn. You get everything." Bradly crossed his arms. 

"What are you doing over here?" Jordan frowned.

"I got momma's healing powers." Darguni grinned. 

Rolling his eyes, Jordan sighed. "You don't show that shit off, it gives your opponent an edge." 

Darguni considered. "I can see that." 

"Speaking of everything, where is Lydia?"

"If Momma hasn't healed her yet, probably still barfing." 

Bradly winced. "How... ugh. I should try to be supportive..."

"All you can do; is hold back her hair and wash her face." Darguni shrugged. "Not much else to do." 

Bradly found Lydia tucked up under Elunara's arm. He held his hands behind him. "How ya feeling?"

"If I leave this couch, I'll throw up on you." She sighed. 

He held out a bouquet of flowers. "I thought these might cheer you up."

"Aw, Bradly." She scooted off the couch and kissed his cheek. "You're so sweet." 

"The vases are on the top shelf." Elunara pointed.

"I'll get it." Bradly went for the vase. 

"I'd kiss you, but my mouth is filthy, bleh." 

"Yeah, Darguni said you were ill." After putting water in the vase, he tucked the flowers in it. "Thought I'd swing by and see how you were."

She scooted back on to the couch. "If I leave Elunara's side for any length of time, I'm puking on an innocent bystander." She sighed. "Also, apparently I have super sharp fingernails."

"Huh?"

"Yeah that's kind of blowing everyone's mind at the moment." She sighed and ran her hands over her belly. "You two twits better stop kicking my stomach, dammit." Grumbling, she frowned. "I'm not even a full five months and they're already fighting like brother and sister." She snorted. 

Everyone froze. 

"What?" Bradly whispered. 

Lydia stared down. "I can feel it." She whispered. 

Elunara put her hand on Lydia's belly and concentrated. "I agree with your assessment." 

Lydia scrambled to get off of the couch. "I have to tell..." She clamped a hand to her mouth and whimpered. "Fucking hell." She bolted to the back.

Bradly went for her. He tugged her hair back while she lost it. "I'm so sorry you're dealing with this today, Sweetheart." He got the damp rag and cleaned Lydia up. 

"I'm sorry, Bradly. I hate that I told you first. I... I wanted..." She curled up on him and cried.

"Hey, no. It's fine. I'm sorry it was me, too." He helped her stand. "Come on, I'll take you to him."

Elunara met them half way. "We'll both take her." She wrapped her arm around Lydia's waist. "They just don't like you today." 

"Ugh. It's so unfair." 

Seeing his wife supported by both his mother and his brother, Darguni dropped what he was doing and ran over. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing is wrong!" Lydia waved her hand. "The barfing is just so bad that I can't break contact with Elunara, or I just puke every damned where." She sighed. "I came to tell you that I can feel them." She put her hands on his chest. "I can well and truly feel them. It's amazing and a little weird... but I can tell you were having both a boy and a girl."

"Really?" He whispered. 

"Really." She nodded. 

He picked her up and hugged her tightly. "That's so cool! We get one of each!" He put his hands on her belly, and then he knelt down and put his head on her belly.

She giggled. "You're adorable, you know that?"

Elunara twitched. "Me without my board!" She tossed her hands up.

"You can always make them pose later." Bradly nodded.

"Don't think I won't!" Elunara pointed. 

"What's going on here?" 

Elunara grinned. "Our grandchildren are going to be a boy and a girl."

Varian grinned. "Wonderful news." He laughed. "Congratulations." 

"Ugh, Momma, can you walk me to Gingy's? She'll kill me if I don't tell her personally this time."

When Elunara and Lydia got home, Susan was sitting next to Grogek nursing Tilly. "He told me your news. That's wonderful."

Elunara got Lydia back to the couch. "Well, since Lydia can know, let's see if I can tell for you." Laying her hands on Susan's belly, she concentrated. "Well, I'll be damned, same here."

"Same?"

"Boy and girl." 

"Oh!" Susan put a hand to her side. "Fascinating!" 

Grogek laughed. "Well, then I'll have two sons and two daughters. This is quite fortuitous!" 

Susan whacked his arm. "Oh, you!" 

Lydia reached down and scratched her leg. "Gods, I can't... OW!" She looked down at her bleeding leg. "STUPID FINGERNAILS!" She hissed. 

Lying in bed, she stared at the ceiling and rubbed her hands on her belly. 

"Are you alright?"

"Just lost in thought." 

Darguni ran his hand over her belly. "About our babies?"

"About after our babies."

"Hm?" 

"Well, I wonder... would we want more?" She sighed and rolled over. "I mean, I guess we'd have to have them and then see, but..."

He kissed the side of her head. "If you decide you don't want any more... we have our two. We got lucky in that we get one of each. So if you wanted to quit, I'd be fine." Rubbing her side, he smiled down at her. "I will do anything to see you happy. I am beyond thrilled that you're willing to suffer through this intrusion to give me my children. Besides, father thought he'd be stuck with the one, and you see how that turned out." He winked. 

Giggling, she smacked his arm. "You!" She rubbed her hand on his chest. "Well, in any event... there's another question I wonder the answer to..."

"And what's that?"

"Bradly wants his own children." She whispered. 

Darguni froze. "He does?"

She laid her head on the pillow and sighed. "He does. I guess we'll figure THAT answer out after we decide where our relationship goes. Maybe, like Jordan, he'll have to find another woman to bear his child." 

"Maybe." Darguni murmured.



For The Whored: The Future: Ch. 26



Darguni sat on the hill, Lydia sleeping in his lap, her arms wrapped around her growing belly. Placing his hand on her belly, he blinked. "Is that so, little one?" He whispered, grinning like a loon. With gentle care, he tugged up Lydia's skirt, and slipped his fingers through the soft hairs, to the folds beneath. 

She gasped and grabbed at his arm. "You!"

He chuckled. "Can I not play with my wife?" He slipped a finger into her wet center.

She groaned. "I don't know, I might make you stop... in about an hour." 

He slipped a second finger in with a groan. "Ah, you got wet quick." 

Shifting, she tugged him free of his pants. "Hm, I wonder how long you've been hard." She licked the length of him.

"Oh, Gods, Baby." He buried his fingers in her hair. 

Slipping her mouth over the tip, she began to work her way down with sucking movements. When he shifted his hand out of her, she moved off. "Don't stop." She groaned, before slipping back down over him. 

He buried his fingers back into her and began to pump in and out of her. His other hand went back and crushed into the grass. She shifted against his hand and groaned against his dick, as she began to rapidly slide up and down, desperate to take him all in. 

When she clamped down on his fingers, he groaned. "Baby, I'm gonna..."

She shifted and tried to take him in all at once. When he near exploded in her mouth, she began to choke. 

He grabbed her up and began to pound on her back. "Baby, you've got to stop doing that. You're going to hurt yourself." 

She coughed everything up. "Gah! Dammit, I want to." 

"But, why?" He brushed her hair out of her face. "I don't like to see you struggle." 

She wiped her mouth and blushed. "It's silly."

"It's me." He brushed her hair out of her face. 

"Because..." She curled up in his lap. "Well, in your mother's book..." Blushing deeply, she ran her fingers on his chest. "Well, swallowing is supposed to be very important. Even she only does it for three people." 

Chuckling, he buried his face in her hair. "Ok, maybe it's a little silly."

"See." She muttered. 

"I appreciate it, my love, but I'm more concerned with your enjoyment than my own. It's not very fun for me if you near choke to death every time."

"But..."

"Why don't you ask her for tips?" He shrugged. 

"Hm." She cuddled against him. "Speaking of your dick, where did the other cast mold of you go?" Looking up, she got concerned when she saw the muscle in his jaw twitch. "My love?" 

He sighed and ran his hands down her body. "I... followed you the day that Tara confronted you. I heard what she said about my child." His hand rubbed her belly. "So I took it to her, and told her that if she was so fucking obsessed with my dick, that she could have the damned thing." He snorted. 

"Oh." Lydia rubbed her hand on his thigh. "Probably for the best."

Eyeing her, he grinned. "So, why were you after it?"

She went crimson. "Practice."

"Mhm..." He slipped his hand under her skirt. "I can always get momma to make me a new one." 

"Maybe." 

Finding the soft hairs, he slipped his fingers lower, to the slick folds. "Meanwhile..." He pushed her back into the soft grass, holding himself above her. "I'm going to make love to my wife." He whispered, before brushing his lips against hers. 

Holding her arms up, she wrapped her hands around his neck. With one hand, he pushed her skirt up, before pulling himself free of his pants. Scooping his hips down, he slid himself into her wet heat. Going up on his knees, he pulled her ass into his lap, wrapping his hands around her belly. 

With a moan, Lydia raised her arms above her head in the soft grass, arching her back. Gently, he bucked his hips, sliding himself in and out of her with a groan. Tugging one hip, he turned her on her side and tucked her leg between his. He kissed her ankle as he began to drive himself in and out of her. Her fingers dug into grass as she groaned. By time she clamped around him, she was gasping with it. Enjoying the feel of her, he filled her. 

He pushed her on her back and put both of his hands on either side of her head, grinning down at her. "I felt one."

"Huh?" She shoved her hair out of her face. 

"While you were napping, I felt one." He ran his hand over her belly.

"Oh!" She ran her hands over her belly. "Hm, I can feel one too." 

"Really?" He scooted down and laid his head gently on her belly, his ear pressed against the fabric of her shirt. 

Laughing, she tugged her shirt up and let him press against her skin. "Let's see if I can do what Elunara taught me." Closing her eyes, she tried to focus the energy in her palms. Tracing what she felt, she smiled. 

"I feel one!" 

"That would be your son." She whispered. "Our little girl is over here." She ran her hand on her side.

"Really?" He gasped. Darguni was practically bouncing with excitement. "Hi!" He ran his hand over the spot. "I'm your daddy! I can't wait until you can come out and meet everyone. You're going to be my big strong boy, I just know it." Shifting over, he ran his hand where Lydia indicated. "I'm not forgetting you, my little girl. I bet you'll be beautiful like your momma." 

She giggled at him. 

"What?"

"You're adorable." 

He scooted up and tugged her close. "My family." He whispered. Standing, he scooped her up. 

"What are you doing?" She blinked.

"I want to show papa!" He took off running while she laughed.

As they made it in the door Lydia put a hand to her mouth. "Geez, don't run so fast."

"Do you need to go in back?"

"Ugh, no. I'm just nauseous."

"What have I told you about shaking a pregnant lady?" Elunara eyed Darguni over her board. 

"Sorry, Momma, I just wanted to share..."

"Share what?" Her eyebrow shot up.

Lydia laughed. "Well, first the fact that you can feel them now. Second would be, I can tell you which is which." 

Darguni carefully sat her on the couch, before sitting in the floor and laying his head on her belly. 

"And the fact he won't stop doing that." Lydia giggled.

"But, it's so cool!" 

Grogek and Elunara grinned at each other, as she switched out her sheets and began to draw them. 

"If you put your hand here..." Lydia pointed. "You can feel the boy." 

Grogek laid his hand on her belly. "Fascinating."

"You have to reach all the way over here for the girl." She pointed. 

"Hm, she's quieter." 

"That she is." Lydia laughed. "Where is Susan?"

"On her walk with Tina and Tilly."

"How is THAT going?" Darguni frowned. 

"Tina is acting much better since her scare. I think she finally realized how young she actually is." Grogek sighed.

Elunara rubbed his arm. 

"How's your leg coming?" Lydia leaned against him and tried to focus her energy.

"Getting there." Grogek grumbled. "I am so sick of this house."

Elunara giggled. "I think we'll visit the yard tomorrow. Just so grumpy here can get some son." She winked at her pun.

"That'd be cool." Darguni was refusing to move from his spot. "I kind of wish I had a singing voice." He snorted. 

Grogek and Elunara shared another grin. 

Lydia put her hand on Darguni's head and began to sing. He put his hand on her belly. "Mine." He whispered. 

A couple of months later, Lydia wiggled in the bed. She struggled and wiggled and whined. "Gods, fuck it all." She muttered. She tried to claw at the bed stand, but couldn't get good enough purchase. "Come on..." She growled. In the last couple of months her belly had near exploded in size. Cussing and swearing, she tried to roll on her side. What had possessed her to send Darguni out already? Giving up, she wobbled back into place. 

"ELUNARA!" She cried. What was that woman's schedule today? Lydia raked her hands through her hair. "ELUNARA!" Gods, she desperately had to pee. "SOMEBODY! ANYBODY!!?" Whimpering, she tried once again to roll over on her side. 

"Work with me, damn you both!" She yelled at her belly. A horrible thought occurred to her. What if no one knew she was up here? "Somebody help me." She whimpered. 

"Hey, Darguni, where's your wife?" Elunara frowned. 

"Oh, she wanted to sleep in; said she didn't sleep well last night." He rubbed the back of his neck. "It's getting more difficult for her to get comfortable." He eyed his father bitching out one of his trainees. "I should wake her up, she needs the sun."

"At this point, she should NOT be by herself. Go fetch her."

"You really shouldn't have left her in the bed." Susan shook her head. "Tired or no, it's a pain in the ass to get out of bed now."

"Ugh, you're right." He sighed. "I'll go get her." 

Jogging into the house he frowned. Something was off but he couldn't...

"HELP ME!!" She screamed. 

He made it upstairs in record time. "What's wrong? Is it the babies?" He stooped down.

Clinging to his neck she tried to pull out of the bed. 

"Baby, speak to me." He whimpered.

"I peed on myself." She cried.

"Oh, Gods, I'm so sorry." He pulled her out of the bed. "I should have thought about you being trapped in here." 

Once he had her and the bed cleaned up, he cuddled her into his lap. "I'm not leaving you alone again. Sleepy or not." 

"I shoulda thought about it." She sniffled. 

"Come on; let's get you in the sun." 

Lydia sighed as Darguni sat her by Susan. 

Elunara put her hands on both women and concentrated. "With any luck, you two will make it to your eighth month. You're both already ahead of the game." 

"Ugh." Susan wiggled. "I can't decide if this is any better." She cuddled Tilly. "It's already difficult to hold my child." Freezing, she turned to Elunara. "HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO NURSE THREE?"

"She's over a year, and primarily on solids. She'll be fine. If worse comes to worse, I can alter my body, AGAIN." Elunara sighed. 

Lydia put her hand on Susan's shoulder. "We'll all be figuring this out together." She kissed Susan's cheek.

Susan laughed. "You're just like your mother... strangely affectionate." 

She giggled. "Well, I have wanted to be in this family since I was eight." 

Both women jolted at the same time.

"Ow." Lydia whimpered.

"Aw, fuck." Susan swore.

Elunara blinked. "You never swear." Putting her hands on both women, she sighed. "Aw, fuck is right." She stood up. "DADDIES, YOU ARE NEEDED!" She called. 

"Seriously? At the same time?"

Elunara plucked Tilly from Susan's arms and shoved her at Gerald. "Here, hold this and follow behind." 

"Hey, WAIT!"

"YOU CAN HANDLE HER!"

Darguni grabbed Lydia, and Grogek grabbed Susan. Elunara ran between both, challenging energy into the laboring women. 

"Did you two twits have to go into labor at the same damned time?" Elunara sighed. "There's only one of me..." 

"YOU TELL THAT TO THESE TWO!" Susan yelled. 

Lydia whimpered and curled up in Darguni's arms. 

"Lydia, try to do the energy thing I showed you. I know it's hard, but you've got to try. If you can do it, then I can focus on Susan. Relax, go with the pain, and concentrate."

"I'll try." Lydia gasped. When the pain abated a little, she began to focus her energy on her belly, easing the next rolling cramp. "I think I can do it, momma."

"Good girl. Keep doing that, and I'll get to you as soon as I've dealt with Susan." 

"Yes, Momma." 

Darguni gently placed Lydia down on the bed and took her hand. "I'm here, baby." 

Elunara followed Susan into the next room. 

"Gods, put me out already!" Susan whimpered. 

"I am, I am." She tapped Susan on the forehead and made her cuts. She passed the first baby to Grogek. "There's your newest daughter." She grinned. 

Grogek cuddled the infant. "Love..."

"Yeah?"

"There are no fangs on her." 

Elunara peered over. "Huh." Going back to her task, she tugged the next baby free. "Interesting to find that your newest son has both of his fangs." She passed the infant over. "Help me seal her, Ina." 

"On it." 

Grogek stood and enjoyed cuddling his two newest babies in his arms while Elunara worked. Their task complete, Elunara brought Susan out. "Sorry my loves, I have to help Lydia next!" She bolted from the room and dove into the other.

"I'm doing it, Momma." Lydia marveled. "I'm making the pain go away." She breathed.

"That's my good girl." Elunara brushed her hair back. "I'm going to put you out, ok?"

"I'm prepared." She nodded.

Elunara tapped on Lydia's forehead and summoned her freshly cleaned dagger. "I'm cutting her open." 

"Alright." Darguni clung to Lydia's hand. 

Elunara made her cuts. "Boy's coming out first." 

Darguni moved down and held out his arms. Ina tossed a blanket into Darguni's arms, and Elunara transferred the child over. "He has a fang!" Darguni gasped. "Same as mine. Same side and everything!" 

"Fascinating." Elunara continued her work without looking up. "Little girl is tinier. By a fair margin." She frowned.

"Momma..."

The pain in Darguni's voice made her jerk up. "What?"

"What's wrong with his leg?"

"I... Shit. I need to get the girl out first." She ducked back down. 

"Let me see him." Ina reached up. Darguni transferred his son into the waiting dwarf's arms, a moment before Elunara passed him the girl. He scooped her up and cuddled the newborn to his chest. Cautious, he examined the girl and was relieved to find she looked normal. Tiny, and with an opposite fang.

"Can... you do anything?" Ina laid the baby on the table.

"Let's seal Lydia and then I'll do what I can." She sighed. 

Darguni made his way to the table and frowned down at his son. One leg was smaller than the other, and twisted strange. After laying his daughter down, he carefully scooped the tiny newborn into his arms and cuddled the child to him. "No matter what, you'll always be my son." He whispered. 

"Darguni?" Lydia moaned. 

He scooped the girl up and made his way over. "Look, our babies." He grinned and tucked them into her lap. 

"Why is she so much smaller?" Lydia rubbed her fingers on the girl's cheek.

"I think she got more human than orc in her." Elunara shrugged. "Let me see the boy."

"I'm not done holding them." Lydia stuck her tongue out. "Besides, I figured I should name them first." She brushed her cheek on the girl's forehead. "My little Lily. I think the name fits. You're so tiny and delicate." She ran her finger over the fang. "Oh, well." 

He tugged Lily up. "My sweet, tiny girl. Lily will be perfect for you."

Laughing, she turned her attention to the boy. "Now you..." She lifted him and kissed his forehead. "You're my big, strong one. I like... Dargek." She smiled up at the stunned Darguni. "You like?"

"I love it." He whispered. Running his hand over Lydia's head, he kissed her, soft and slow.

The blanket around Dargek fell and she went to adjust it. She froze. "What?"

"Give me the boy." Elunara held her hands out. 

"NO!" Lydia clung to him. "NO!" She tried to scramble back, tears streaming down her face. Both children went into hysterics at the sound of her. "NO!" She wailed. "This is all my fault!" She clung to the baby as she panicked. 

Darguni did his best to grab at Lydia without crushing his child. He finally passed Lily down to Ina and wrapped his arms around Lydia. "Please, baby. Please stop! Don't reject our son!" He pleaded. 

"No!" She whispered in horror. "No, he's mine. Don't take him." She whimpered. 

"I'm not trying to take him." Elunara put her hands on Lydia's leg. "I'm trying to heal him, baby. Remember, how I healed yours? I need to try with him."

Shaking all over, Lydia held out the child. Even as Elunara tried to take him, Lydia clung to him. Elunara began the pry the girl's fingers off the child. 

"I'm just taking him right here where you can see." Elunara laid the child on the table and began to concentrate. 

Lydia curled into herself and began to weep. "I'm so, so sorry." She cried. "This is all my fault. I did this. Please don't hate me." She whimpered.

"Baby, I could never hate you." He rocked her back and forth. "There is no fault here. Just as your parents were not at fault for your birth, you're not at fault for his. We'll make the most of it." 

"Well, I've straightened it a little, and brought it down some, but..." Elunara sighed and raked her fingers through her hair. "I'll heal him as he grows, we'll try to keep it on the right path, but it might always be a little... off." 

Lydia began to weep uncontrollably. Ina tucked Lily into Lydia's arms and quietly left the room. Elunara followed suit with Dargek, and wrapped her arms around Lydia. 

"It'll be ok, my lovely. We'll make it ok." Elunara kissed her temple. "I have to go see my husband and sister now, ok?" Lydia held her children and curled up against Darguni. Darguni nodded to his mother and buried his face in his wife's hair. 

Once outside the room, and the door closed behind her, Elunara slid to the floor and began to cry. 

Ina wrapped her arms around Elunara's neck. "It's so much worse when it's your own children." She whispered.

Elunara nodded. "I can't... I can't cure that kind of pain." 

"Aye, you can... it's just harder to do." 

Once she was straightened up, she tucked into Susan's room. "How are we doing?"

"How's Lydia?" Susan smiled.

"I'll get to that, what have we got?" Elunara ran her fingers over a child's forehead. 

"Mimsy, and Grogash." Susan giggled. "I wanted a Gro, and I let him pick the rest." 

"Gods, you're both always so adorable, I'd be jealous if I had the capacity. Let me hold my newest children I didn't give birth to."

Susan held up Mimsy with a laugh.

"You have your daddy's complexion, but not his teeth. How curious." She's going to be a beauty though. Just like I saw with Lulu." She sat the baby down and reached for the other. "Oh, you're going to be a strong one." Elunara laughed. "You might give Darguni a run for his money. We'll have to see." 

"So, what are my grandchildren named?" Grogek grinned as he took Grogash back. 

"Lily and Dargek."

Grogek's eyes went wide. "Is that so?" He breathed.

Elunara swallowed and bit her lip as she nodded. "There's a problem..."

He frowned. "Judging by your reaction..."

"Dargek has... a deformed leg." 

"No." He whispered in horror. Susan put a hand to her mouth. 

Elunara raked her fingers through her hair and leaned back against the wall. "I'm not... I'm not sure I can..." Her voice shook with emotion. "He'll never walk straight. I'll do my best to heal what I can, but even Elune can't fix what's not there. It's entirely too short, and unless I learn how to grow bone..." Shaking her head, she leaned against Grogek. "Lydia is completely destroyed at this point." 

"Come on, Baby, let's just take our children and go home."

"This is all my fault. I should have never..."

"I'm stopping you right there, damn it." He sighed. "You wanted Elunara to break you, remember?" Giving her a soft shake, he frowned. "If anyone is at fault, then it's MY damned fault. I wanted children, remember?"

"You shouldn't have had them with me." She swiped at her nose.

"I didn't WANT them with anyone else, you ninny. I wanted YOU to have my children, damn it to hell. You will stop this self pity right here. I may not be as well spoken as my mother, but by damn it, I'll have my say. This is MY son. This is OUR son. I don't CARE that he has a busted leg, that doesn't make him any less MY damned son!" He plucked Dargek up. "You see that fang? It's just like mine, same side and everything. There's no denying who he belongs to. MINE. So his leg's a little funny, so was yours." 

"I was deformed, I should have never..."

"STOP!" He held her by the chin. "Look me in the damned face. "You are mine, my wife. Everything after that is unimportant. I knew how you grew up. Hell, I helped carry you a couple of times because of your funny legs. But I never once made fun of you for it; I never once begrudged you for it. Anyone else? They can go fuck themselves. We knew this risk." He let go of her face. "Baby, you're killing me. Every time you get upset, I feel like you're rejecting our son. Please stop rejecting our son." He whimpered. "Please?"




For The Whored: The Future: Ch. 26



With a whimper, she nodded. 

"Here." He tucked Dargek into Lydia's arms, before adjusting Lily." Scooping them all up, he shoved open the door with his shoulder. "We're going home." 

Ina just blinked and nodded. She scooted into Susan's room. "Darguni just took off with his wife and kids." 

Elunara blinked. "Well, that's probably for the best." 

"Um, where's Tilly?" Susan blinked. 

"Shit, I left her on Gerald." Elunara bolted out of the door.

Susan giggled. "Oh, boy."

Elunara found Bradly sitting outside with Tilly in his lap. "Oh."

"Yeah, Gerald dumped and ran."

"I'll strangle the little snot." 

"Was a little unfair to dump her on him."

"Yeah, but he's supposed to follow my orders."

Bradly shrugged. "Lydia looked like she'd been bawling her eyes out. I figured Darguni had it well handled though."

"Her son was born with a bad leg... like she had been."

Bradly closed his eyes. "Oh, Gods." He sighed. "I guess I'll be asking you for advice then..."

"Hm?"

"Because if our relationship really takes off... I want her to have my child too."

Elunara blinked down at him. "I can't decide if you're insane or not."

"Because I want her to have my child, knowing full well what might happen again?"

"That you'd even try. Knowing full well how much this is killing her."

"It's not her fault." He sighed. "It's just one of those things that happen. The reward far outweighs the risk. Gods, I'm so obscenely jealous of my brother right now." He sighed. "Hell, of Grogek." 

"Of me what?" 

Bradly jumped up, clinging to Tilly. "Of your children. I want my own children." He raked a hand through his hair. "I want my own child with Lydia." He whispered. 

"That's rather selfish." Grogek's eyebrow went up. 

"This I know." Bradly shrugged. 

They all walked home. Bradly continued to hold Tilly, as Susan had Mimsy and Grogek had Grogash. 

"The hell happened to our house?" 

"People have been bringing these things all day." SaTa replied. 

Everywhere was furniture, flowers, and packages. Darguni was going back and forth transferring it all in. "I sat Lydia on the couch and I've been doing this ever since." He sighed. "I don't know where to put it all." 

"Tributes for our Goddess."

"Hello, Sugarlove." Elunara brushed her lips against Varian's. 

"How is our lovely Lydia and Susan?"

"Susan is peaches. Meet Mimsy and Grogash." Elunara gestured. 

Varian made inspection of both children. "Always fascinating. Where is Lydia?"

"Inside..." She winced. "Hold on." She tucked her head in the door. "Lydia, is it ok if Varian visit?"

"Of... of course." Lydia blinked.

Varian frowned. "What's wrong?" He whispered.

"Her son was born with a bad leg."

He closed his eyes. "Gods." Straightening up, he walked in. "Hello, little Lydia." He grinned. "It seems odd to see you with children, when I tend to think of you as still one." 

She blushed. "I appreciate the visit."

He knelt down and ran his hands over both children's heads. "One is so much smaller than the other."

"Momma believes Lily is more human than orc, and Dargek got all the orc." 

"Adorable names." He grinned. "In any event, I'm sure they'll be proud members of Stormwind." He winked at her and stood up. 

As he walked by, Darguni grinned and pointed. "I did that."

Varian laughed. "I'm sure you did." He put a hand on Darguni's shoulder. "Beautiful children; must have gotten it all from the wife." He winked and headed out. 

Seeing the quiver on Lydia's lip, Darguni dove to her side and tugged her into his lap. "He didn't mean it like that, Baby, I swear." 

Varian heard the comment and winced. "Shit." He whispered. 

Elunara sighed. "It was a cute comment, love." She sighed. "It just got taken wrong."

"I should have thought about it." 

"Excuse me! Excuse me!" Gingy shoved past everyone and made her way into the house. Elunara reached out to grab her and just missed. "I want to see the babies!" She chimed out, as she bounced to Lydia. She stopped and blinked. "I thought having children was a happy thing, why ever are you crying?" 

Lydia clung to the children. "GINGY!" She gasped.

"Well, that's my name." She plopped down on the couch and held out her hands. "Well, let me hold them." 

Cautiously, she passed the girl over. "This is Lily." She clung to the boy with some desperation.

"Lily. Oh, I LOVE it! I have the BEST ideas for dresses!" She cuddled the baby. "I so wish I could find me a penis."

Lydia choked. "That's... one way to put it."

Gingy passed Lily into Darguni's arms. "Alright, now the other one."

"He's... he's a boy. I'd rather not stick him in dresses." 

Gingy rolled her eyes. "I can do more than dresses." 

Lydia clung to him. "It's just..."

"Baby, she'll find out eventually." Darguni murmured. 

"Find out what?" Gingy blinked.

Closing her eyes, she passed the boy over.

"Wow, he's a hefty one." Gingy tugged the blanket back and stared. "Oh." 

Lydia burst into tears. 

"Well, I guess that WOULD be upsetting." She held the child up. "But you started like that and you wound up ok, so there's that."

"What?" Lydia sniffled.

"I really was so horribly mean to you, wasn't I?" Gingy sighed. Wrapping the boy back up, she sighed. "Kids are really awful little things aren't they?" Cuddling the child, she shook her head. "Lydia, I'm SO terribly sorry for all the mean shit I used to say. I don't know that I ever officially apologized, because it was never really a thought in my head to do. I mean... one of the requirements for getting my dress out of Tulani was to get you to accept my apology. 

I had this whole game plan, because I DESPERATELY wanted that damned dress. But then you saved me from that maniac... the same maniac who later took it out on you..." She sighed. "Then I actually spent time with you and learned how freaking likable you are. I... I always thought that the only way I could make up for how awful I was, was to make you dresses like Elunara suggested. I think what I should have done, was apologize. For real, not some made up script. I hate that your child is like this, because I know how much it hurts you. 

How much I hurt you, how much my so called friends hurt you. I am well and truly sorry for every last bit of it, even the fact that I only started to apologize over a stupid dress. I like you because you're you. I know I was raised to believe that a woman's worth is based on what she sees in the mirror, but you made me realize how goddamned stupid that was. I learned a viable trade, and while I'm no fashion sensation, I do pretty well for myself. Even the fact that I was willing to move out from under my lunatic mother was due to you. So... thank you; and please forgive me." 

Lydia blinked for some time, before throwing her arms around Gingy and weeping. 

Elunara tucked back outside and closed her eyes. 

Grogek chuckled. "Really pulls at your heart, doesn't she?"

"Gah, I'm going to die of sappiness." Elunara wiped her eyes. 

"Says the woman with broken emotions." Susan winked.



For The Whored: The Future: Ch. 27



"I have found a new level of hilarity!" Lydia cried over the banister. 

Elunara looked up from her board. "What?"

"Watching Dargek pee on his daddy." 

Elunara choked. "And I MISSED it?"

"Well, Dargek certainly didn't miss." Lydia snorted. 

"It's not funny!" Darguni called.

"Yes it is!" She and Elunara called at the same time. 

Darguni came out with Dargek on his shoulder. "At least he has impressive range on that damned thing." He poked Lydia. "You're changing Lily."

"Already did." She ducked into the room and picked up the girl. "I want to nurse on the couch."

"Alright." 

Lydia sat down and got Lily adjusted. "Let's start with you this time, since your bother hogs it all."

Darguni sat next to her. "Well, he is a big strong orc, he needs more."

"Pfft, like I'm going to let my little girl go without." 

"Wouldn't dream of it." He kissed her neck.

"Ugh, you're both so cute, I won't get shit done." Elunara snorted.

"Glad dad told me to take a couple of weeks off."

"Well, you did an excellent job with his troops, he's quite pleased. Plus, these are you firsts. He's got a house of you maniacs." 

"That seems unfair to Susan." Lydia switched babies. 

"Nah, they take their time. You just don't see it because most of it is private. He'll take his time off, and he'll spend his time with his babies. Just as you're doing. He took plenty of time off when you were born, Darguni. It's just that most of it was spent at the edge of the ring, where we're both the most comfortable." Elunara shrugged. "That's where Susan is right now." 

"Alright, the last one is asleep." Susan tucked the blanket around the tiny form. 

Grogek chuckled. "Surviving up there?"

"I feel like I'm in a baby puddle." She giggled. 

"I have to admit, I'm a little worried about you."

"Oh, I'll be fine." She waved a hand. "Elunara taught me how to be an independent thinker. All I have to do... is organize my time efficiently. I think I'll get the hang of it. Plus, Chrissy and Jenny have been offering their assistance." 

He rubbed a hand on her leg. "If you need anything..."

She leaned down and kissed the top of his head. "You'll be the first to know." 

He tugged her down into his embrace. "Good." He tucked her back on to the platform.

Giggling, she rubbed a hand on his head. "You just want me out here so you can show off your children." 

"Maybe." He grinned. 

"It must be a loony bin at your house."

Jordan grinned. "You have no idea." 

Mark rubbed his neck. "One set of twins was bad enough, but two?" He shuddered. 

"Yeah, but think of it... Elunara and Grogek, me and Tulani," Jordan began ticking his fingers off. "Tina and Lulu, Darguni and Lydia, and then there's Bradly... there's plenty of hands to toss into the pot to help with all five of the babies. I hear Chrissy, Zelinnia and Jenny are offering, Gingy keeps bouncing in and out... there's a few others I'm forgetting... Yeah, it's a goddamned madhouse." Jordan cackled. 

"DADDY!" Lulu flung her arms around Jordan.

"Yeah, Pumpkin?" 

"Can I go spend some time with Grandma Tyrande?"

"Have you asked your mother?"

"Not yet." She sighed. "I can't even FIND her at the moment. Besides, she said I could visit grandma if I got a yes from one." She cuddled up to him. "Since I know where you are..."

"Alright, alright." He laughed. "But if I find out your momma said no..."

Lulu snorted. "Like I want HER mad at me." 

"Hey!"

"You're scary too..." Lulu giggled. 

"Yeah, I buy it." He snorted. 

"Besides, I'm mostly going to Grandma's so I can freaking sleep through the night." She dragged her fingers through her hair.

"I hear ya." He laughed. "Alright, get, I have work to get back to." He kissed the top of her head.

"Thanks, daddy!" She kissed his cheek and bolted before he could change his mind. 

Mark watched Lulu for a moment. "She's right. You're not scary in the least." He snorted.

Jordan whacked him on the back of the head. "I used to be scary to you." 

"Kind of difficult to be afraid of you, when I've fucked your wife while you watched."

Jordan snorted. "Ain't that the truth?"

Later that night, Jordan walked in and pressed his mouth to Elunara's. "Lulu's gone to Tyrande's."

"Escaping baby hell?"

"By the skin of her teeth." He chuckled.

"Hope she doesn't bother whatever mother has going on."

The next day, Tyrande stood on the porch, her arms crossed. "Why didn't you tell me my great grand children were born?"

Elunara blinked. "But, I did. I sent one of my best runners immediately."

Tyrande shook her head. "They never arrived."

Lulu grumbled. "I got one good night of sleep..."

"Well, come on then. Everyone's asleep. Including the mothers." Elunara giggled. "We put the babies in the center room of the kid's tower." She led the way upstairs. "You have to know... Lydia's boy was born with a bad leg."

Tyrande put her hands to her mouth. "Oh, dear Elune... Everything happens to that poor girl." 

"Yeah, it does." Lydia sighed.

"Oh, you're up." Elunara frowned. 

"I heard Dargek fussing." Cuddling the child, she sighed. "He hurts, Momma. I can feel it." 

"May I see?" Tyrande held out her arms.

"I guess." Lydia transferred the child over. 

"My dear, sweet child, I would never hurt him." She began to gently channel her energy into the child. "He's beautiful, even for his troubles." 

The front door open and Darguni blinked up. "Hey, Grand Momma." 

"Hello, Darguni." Tyrande smiled.

He redirected his path and headed up. "I came by to see how Lydia and my babies were doing." 

"Let's not talk in the hall." Elunara gestured. "Susan is quite enjoying her nap." 

Darguni scooped Lily out of her bed. "There's my little girl." He cuddled her. "You should meet your great grand momma." With one hand, he transferred the girl and took back the boy with the other. "That's my big strong boy." He cuddled the infant.

Tyrande giggled. "You're certainly affectionate." 

Darguni blushed and rubbed the back of his head. "I guess I get it from Momma." 

"She's so much smaller than her brother." Tyrande cocked her head. 

"He's so cute, it'll make you sick." 

"Momma!" His blush deepened. 

Lydia giggled. "He really is." Dargek began to fuss and she took him. "He hurts, momma."

"Let me." Elunara held her hands out. 

"Please teach me how to do it." Tears ran down her face as she held tightly to her child. 

"Please don't cry." Darguni wrapped his arms around his wife and child. 

"Come on, Sweetheart, let's go sit on the couch and we'll work with it." Elunara tugged at Lydia's arm. 

After they walked out, Darguni buried his face in his hands. "It kills me how much this hurts her."

"What is your feeling on it?" Tyrande sighed.

"He's my son, and that's the only thing that matters to me." 

While Tyrande, Elunara and Lydia worked on Dargek's leg, Darguni poked around in the kitchen area. He stuck the plate under Lydia's face. "I'm certain you haven't had lunch yet."

Blinking, she took the plate and glass from him. "Oh!" She sighed. "Oh." She began to shake.

He snatched the glass out of her hand before she could drop it. "I'm sorry; I didn't mean to make you cry." Sitting the glass on the floor, he pulled her into his lap. "I'm so sorry, baby."

"I just... I just miss her so much right now. She knew..." Lydia curled up against him and poked at her sandwich. "I just finally understand what she went through for me." Shuddering, she took a bite. "I was so mean to her sometimes." 

"Yes, but you made it up to her in the end." Elunara put her hand down. "We gave your mother a last good bye, and that's better than most get."

Lydia nodded and continued to eat her sandwich. Darguni held up the glass of chocolate milk and she sipped delicately. 

"Besides, he's our son, and nobody can take that from us." He cuddled her. 

"He has a difficult road ahead, but he has a strong family to back him." Tyrande picked Dargek up and wrapped him in his blanket. "We will both try our best to heal his leg as he grows, but he may always have an uneven gait." 

Hours later, Lulu stood by the door, bouncing, as Tyrande said her goodbyes. 

Elunara rolled her eyes. "If mother is fine with it, you can stay a couple of more nights."

Lulu clasped her hands together. 

Tyrande. "Come, child. You may stay a few days."

"Yeay, sleep!" Lulu bounced. "I mean!" She stopped, with her hands in the air. "Yeay... grandma?"

Tyrande laughed. "Where is Tina?"

"Here!" Tina cuddled the infant on her shoulder. "I've been helping Momma with her three." 

Susan yawned as she nursed one of her babies. "She's been very good lately." She winced. "Can someone grab Tilly?"

"I got her." Bradly jogged upstairs. 

"It's a logistical nightmare." Elunara laughed. 

Grogek and Jordan walked in. "You seem to forget it's not possible at this point." Jordan snorted. 

"I'm certain there's some young thing eyeing you when you're not looking." Grogek laughed.

"Don't care. I'm not sticking my dick in anything that's not my wife. I'm more than happy with my one." 

"UGH! DAD!" Lulu slapped her hands over her ears. 

"Oh, hey, Lulu. I thought you were at... oh. Hey, Tyrande."

Tyrande laughed. "Missed me standing here?"

"Was busy telling my obnoxious brother that I don't NEED more children." He wrapped his arms around Lulu. "I'm happy with my one." 

Lulu giggled. "I'm special."

"Yeah you're special." Bradly snorted, as he passed Tilly to Susan.

"Specialer than you!"

"Not a word; and he was my dad first." Bradly stuck out his tongue. 

Darguni smacked his face. "Yeah, and you're ten years older than she is." 

"Oh, Gods, don't bicker." Elunara sighed. 

"Alright, alright, my TWO." Jordan laughed. "Happy now?" He scrubbed his hand on Bradly's head.

"Gah! I'm too old for that, dad!"

"Then don't argue with a thirteen year old." Darguni snorted. 

"I wasn't arguing with you!" 

Darguni grabbed Bradly around the neck. "What was that?"

"ACK!" Bradly shoved at Darguni's arms. "I hate how much stronger than me you are!"

"Then enroll in dad's troops."

"Fuck no." 

"Afraid, little man?" Grogek growled.

"Yes!" 

Grogek cackled. "Honesty does wonders." 

"I ain't stupid."

Half of the room froze.

Bradly sighed. "Ok, yes I am. But not when my life depends on it!"

Lydia sighed. "I give him that. Sweetie, let go of your damned brother, he's turning Elunara."

"Yes, Dear." Darguni laughed and dropped Bradly. 

Bradly hit the floor. "Damn it." 

Elunara cackled. "I love my children, I swear to Elune." 

"Aw, I was enjoying that." Lulu bent over and poked Bradly in the head. 

Lydia switched Lily to the other side. "Yes, that was quite entertaining." She grinned. 

"Hush you." 

"Which you?" Lulu continued to poke him in the head. 

He got up. "If you don't stop that, I'll turn you over my knee and spank you. Don't think I won't." 

"You wouldn't... cause momma would do it right back to you."

"Actually, if you two don't stop poking at each other, I'mma spank both of you and send you to bed." She eyed Lulu "And I don't mean with mother."

Lulu hid her hands behind her back. "Yes, Momma." 

Bradly sighed. "When you're... free, I need a minute to ask you stuff."

Elunara shrugged. "After the babies are sleep." 

He bowed his head and disappeared into his room. 

Elunara turned to Darguni and jerked her thumb at the door. "Should I be worried?"

"I told him he better talk to you. I'm not running my mouth." Darguni went and took Lily from Lydia. "It's kind of... obnoxious."

"Lovely." 

He turned his attention to his daughter. "There's my sweet little precious." He murmured.

"Yep, I'm going to barf." Elunara rolled her eyes. 

"Oh, hush." Susan laughed. "You love every bit of it." 

"Alright." Lydia sighed. "Dargek is asleep and I am exhausted."

"Come on, Baby, let's get us all to bed." Darguni wrapped his arm around her waist and led her upstairs. 

After they were out of earshot, Grogek rubbed his hand on Elunara's back. "How is she doing?"

"Coping, but barely. I'm trying to train her on how to help it, and that brings her comfort..."

"It's still a hard road to travel." He frowned.

"Well, I must be off." Tyrande sighed. "Malfurion will worry, as he's wont to do. Come on Lulu."

"Right away, Grandma." She scrambled to keep up with Tyrande's long strides. 

Jordan sighed. "This place is a madhouse." He chuckled. "Wouldn't have it any other way." 

Susan sighed and sat on the couch. "Grogek, would you mind terribly, just sitting with me for awhile?"

"Of course not. Let me store my things." 

Tina yawned. "I'm going to bed, mom. Just call me if you need me."

"Alright, thank you for being so helpful." 

"Has anybody seen Tulani?" Elunara blinked. After a round of no's, she popped the lock on Tulani's door and peeked in. "Sugarbear, before you get comfortable, can you help me?"

"What's the matter?"

"Tulani is out. Get her upstairs, will you?"

With a chuckle, he scooped the sleeping Draenei into his arms. 

"Poor thing, she's been sewing baby clothes like a maniac. I told her to spread the work out between the other tailors." 

"She just wants to help." He gently laid Tulani in the bed. "She once nursed Darguni, and now she wants to help him with his own children."

"You know, that never occurred to me." Elunara tucked the blanket around the sleeping form. "Darguni is as much her child as mine. I should do something special." She ran her fingers through Tulani's hair. 

At the knock on the door, Bradly lifted his head. "Come in."

Elunara tucked in. "Alright, what's the matter?"

"I want to break up with Bryan."

She blinked at him a moment before sitting on his bed. "What?"

He sighed and sat up. "Momma, I just... I don't know what the hell is going on, and the only time I feel remotely rational is when I'm AWAY from Bryan." He raked his fingers through his hair. "When I'm in the same room with him, I can't say no, I engage in things I'm not really into, and when I'm away, I feel weird about it all. Like ALL of it. I can't... I just... ugh." 

"Does this have anything to do with Lydia?"

"That's just it. No. When I'm with Lydia, everything makes sense... but like I have complete control over my brain. I can just walk away. When I'm with Bryan..." He buried his face in his hands. "I don't actually LIKE sucking dick, thank you very much." 

"Hm."

"I have tried EVERY ONE of your tips and tricks for making it better or easier. Believe me, I have. Nothing works. I've STUDIED all of the entries you have on male relationships. The only thing I do kind of enjoy, is having a dick up my ass, which is weird enough... but the other stuff?" He shuddered. "I cannot count how many times I have gone over there to break up with him... and wind up sweaty, naked, and VERY unfulfilled. I can't TAKE IT anymore." 

She put a hand to her mouth and blinked.

"What?"

"What you're describing is... well, if I didn't know any better I'd swear Bryan was doing the same to you, that Cindy did to Jordan."

Bradly shuddered. "Except I'm very aware. I KNOW it's going on, I just can't do a damned thing about it." He rubbed his hands on his legs. "I went... I went out and found a few willing females, and I can complete easily with them. I mean, it feels kind of hollow because I want it to be Lydia, but I HAD to know. I feel absolutely NO attraction to any other male yet. Bryan is the only one this happens with. Believe me, I... experimented." 

"No, I trust you to have gone for all the options before coming to me." Rubbing her neck, she sighed. "That giant ass statue doesn't help shit, does it?"

"Ugh, now I just feel GUILT." He flopped back. 

"How about this... you keep on for now... and when I get a chance, I'll "test" Bryan and see if I detect anything weird with him."

"I guess that's all I can ask you to do." Bradly sighed and clung to his pillow. "If I have to suck another dick, I might just bite him."

She laughed and ran her hand on his leg. "Reserve that for another time. Try to stick to getting him to do things."



For The Whored: The Future: Ch. 28



Lydia stretched out. The babies were asleep, the house was quiet, and she was just going to spend her time on the couch. She was rather thankful that Susan spent her time at the yard. Elunara was up at the Keep. She stared at the stroller Elunara had designed, and she desperately wished to bask in the sun, but... Tearing her eyes away, she stared down at the couch. She knew what was in those drawers and after much consideration; she decided she'd rather have her husband. 

As if summoned, Darguni popped into the door. "Came by on break to see if you needed anything."

Grinning, she stood up. "Of course. I need you." Laying her hands on his chest, she brushed her lips against his. "I think I'm ready for you." She whispered.

His arms wrapped around her. "Ready for what?" 

"I want you..." On her toes, she whispered into his ear.

His eyes went wide, and he scooped her up, practically running upstairs. He snuck past the babies, before heading up the staircase and carefully placing her on the bed. "You have to tell me if I hurt you."

"I know. Please, just do it." She whimpered. "I want it so badly."

Pressing his mouth to hers, he groaned. "You know how to make a man hard." He dropped his gear to the floor and carefully undressed her. As he took possession of her mouth, his hands roamed her body, down her shoulders, across her breasts, her belly, and to her hips. His fingers brushed through those soft hairs, slipped through the soft folds, and pressed into her dripping center. "Someone's been thinking about this." He murmured.

"All day." She breathed, as she arched against his hand. 

Moving his hand, he slipped himself into her with a groan. "How do you want it?" He buried his face in her hair, as he pumped himself in and out. 

"On my belly."

"Then you have to be vocal. It would kill me if I hurt you." 

"Please, please just give me what I want." She whimpered. 

"Always." He whispered. Sliding out, he helped her turn over. Rubbing his hands on her back, he slid her to the edge, before brushing himself against her ass. "Here I go." He pressed himself, carefully slow, into her ass.

Grabbing at the sheets, she gasped. "Yes!" She groaned. "Yes, oh, Gods, give it to me." 

He almost lost it, as he made his way into her. Putting his hands on either side of her head, he groaned. "Gods, Baby." Staying slow and gentle, he moved in and out, struggling to maintain against her ridiculously tight space. When she clamped, he had no choice but to let go. 

He cuddled her in his arms. "I won't lie. I've wanted to find someone to do that to since I was eighteen." He buried his face in her hair. "I'm thrilled you let me." 

"I rather liked it." She blushed and curled up against him.

"Something you'd do again?" He licked her shoulder. 

She began to giggle wildly.

"Should I be worried?" His eyebrow shot up.

"I wonder how long we should practice before I get Bradly to go for the front." 

Choking, he laughed. "I'd take that as a yes." 

"I've been reading the more interesting passages of your mother's work during my down time. I'm rather eager to try it."

"I wish you'd come out to the yard with Susan." He whispered. 

Her blood went cold. "Maybe."

With a sigh, he cuddled her. "I wish you'd stop denying our son."

"I am not." 

"I'm proud of my babies, and I want to show them off. I can't... because you won't let me." 

"I... I can't." She whispered. 

He sat up. "Lydia... you can't hide him forever. Eventually, he has to leave the house. I know it hurts, but you're killing me." 

Turning on her other side, she curled up. "I just... I can't handle it."

"Then I'll take him out myself, and you can stay here." He climbed out of bed.

"NO!" She scrambled to crawl across the bed. "NO! PLEASE!" 

"LYDIA!" He threw his hands up. "Did your parents hide YOU? Even if they did, it doesn't matter, because I will not hide my son like some abomination. He is my SON, and if anyone dares argue, or says something negative, they have to face MY wrath!" 

"He's just a baby." She whimpered.

"I will not be denied my son, Lydia. He doesn't know that anything's going on; he just knows his momma is afraid. He doesn't even know what you're afraid of." He gestured. Stooping down, he tugged her into his embrace. "Baby, I know what you went through. I was there; I saw what they did to you. I heard what they said to you. How do you think my existence was, being a half breed with one fucking fang?" 

"Yeah, but..."

"Yeah, my dad and mother are the biggest badasses to ever walk Azeroth, and for the most part, people were too fucking afraid to say anything because of them. But I heard, Lydia. I heard the shitty things people really thought when they didn't know I was nearby. I shouldn't have been born, I was an abomination, and my mother should have done a better job of not getting pregnant, or at least stopped spreading her legs for everything that moved. I've heard it all, Lydia. 

That's why I thought you were my sister. You were just like me. Bradly only became my brother because my mother saved his life, and then he realized how awful his mother was and how worthless her opinions were. But you... you were just like me. Bullied and picked on, just because you were born different. I was strong and you were not. I was going to be there for you and be your strength. When you showed us your legs that day, it was this sign, that I wasn't the only one. I had someone like me.

It actually got easier for me to be me, because I had someone weaker I needed to defend. I was almost sad in a way, when momma fixed your legs... but it didn't matter, because you were my sister, and you'd always be my sister." He laughed and rubbed his hand on her cheek. "Now look at us. You are my wife and we have children. Children that I am proud of and I want to show off to my friends." 

"I'm just so desperately afraid." She whimpered. 

"Baby, I'm the next big badass, I will protect our children. Let me be your strength." Tugging her out of the bed, he cuddled her into his lap. "Come on, let's get dressed and put the babies in the stroller. It will do you a world of good."

"But..."

"For me?"

She closed her eyes tightly and let out a shuddering breath. "Yes."

Before she had time to argue, they were walking down the street, hand in hand, Darguni pushing the stroller with his free hand. "You need sun, my love." 

She sighed. "I guess."

"You should go sing. Well, not at the moment... but you should take the babies to sing. They'd probably benefit from it."

"I sing..."

"Not like you used to." He sighed. "Your heart is broken, so you lost the joy."

She stopped and stared up at him. 

"It's true, Baby." He ran his hand on her cheek. 

"It..." She curled up against him. "It hurts." 

"I know, Baby. I know." He hugged her tightly. 

Elunara looked over. "Oh, good. Darguni got her out."

Susan watched the pair. "The sadness is so heavy in that poor girl. She should be celebrating her children, and instead..."

"All she can think about... is what she did wrong." She tucked her board away and slid off the platform. "Hey, Girlie."

"Hello, Momma." Lydia scooted the stroller to the side of the platform. 

Darguni kissed her temple. "I'll be over that way, Baby."

"I know." Lydia gave him a sad smile. 

"Come on, Girlie, let's get your babies on the platform." Elunara reached out.

"No!" Lydia jumped in

the way. "No. They're fine here." 

"Lydia... you can't do this." Elunara shook her head. 

"They're fine." Lydia clung to the edge of the stroller. 

"It's not your babies I'm worried about, girlie." Elunara sighed. "Are you going to stand there and shield him all day? All year? The rest of his life?"

"I don't even want to be out here." Lydia shuddered. "Gods, just let me go home." 

"No." She wrapped her arms around the girl. "Sweetheart, you need this. Your children need this. You can't hide forever." 

"Come on, Sweetie." Susan held her hand out. "Put your children in the baby puddle. It's fun." 

"But..." 

"Do it." Elunara put her hands on both sides of Lydia's face. "You'll never heal, if you always hide." 

"Hey, man, I don't mean to pry... but what's up with your wife?" The guy jerked his thumb back. 

Darguni sighed. "Lydia's just not doing so hot lately." 

"She looks like she's having some kind of fight with Elunara." 

Darguni considered. "Hey, dad?"

"Yeah?" Grogek wiped the sweat off of his face. 

"Can we stop for break so I can show the guys?"

Grogek frowned at Lydia. "What about...?"

"I think I should."

Grogek held up his hands. "It's your wife." 

Darguni let out a whistle. 

Lydia's head jerked up and her eyes went wide, as she saw Darguni headed over with several soldiers behind him. She scrambled to stand in front of the stroller, but Elunara grabbed her by the shoulders and forced her to the side. 

"Let them see." Elunara whispered, as her fingers dug into Lydia's shoulders. 

"See guys?" Darguni laughed. "I told you someone was crazy enough to have my children!" He scooped the first infant out. "This is my little girl, Lily." He grinned. 

"Aw, she's so tiny and pretty." A soldier named Warren poked at the child. "Which means she can't possibly be yours." 

Darguni moved Lily's lip. "HAH! Fang!" 

"Poor kid." Warren sighed. "Stuck with you for a dad." He snorted.

Darguni whacked him upside the head. "She'll be a beauty just like her momma."

"Small salvation." Warren cackled. 

Darguni pushed Lily into Lydia's arms. She gasped and struggled against Elunara's iron grasp. He scooped up the other infant. "And this one is my son! He's going to be a big, strong one, like me." He laughed. 

"No denying who THAT one belongs to." Warren snorted. "Ugly as sin." 

Lydia burst into tears. 

Darguni growled. 

"Shit! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I was just teasing!" He waved his hands. "Honest! He's a cute baby, I swear to all the gods I can swear to." He whacked himself in the face. "I didn't mean to make you cry." 

"Lydia, please stop." Elunara sighed as she released her grip and wrapped her arms around the weeping girl. 

"Yeah, he's totally awesome." Patrick patted the infant. "They both are. Soldiers are just assholes to each other, we swear." 

Dargek began to cry. Darguni frowned. "No, don't. Momma's ok, she's just upset." He cuddled the infant. 

Lydia passed Lily over to Elunara, before tugging at Dargek. As she pulled him into her arms, the blanket fell away. She tried to grab the blanket, but it was too late, everyone that was gathered around stared. Lydia tried to scramble back, but she was trapped. She used her body to shield him.

Warren smacked a hand to his face. "Fuck me. I might as well volunteer for one of Grogek's punishments." 

"Now do you see?" Lydia cried. "This is why I wanted to stay home!" She managed to scramble out from under everyone and ran, child in her arms. 

"Momma, give me Lily." 

Elunara passed the infant over. "Darguni..." 

He reached out and grabbed Warren by the front of his uniform. "You are in a world of shit." 

"Believe me. I know." He groaned. 

Darguni took off after his wife. 

"Guys, we've got to do something for her..." Toby frowned. 

He found her in their room, curled up in the floor, nursing Dargek. "Lydia, I know you're upset, but why the hell did you leave Lily behind?"

She jerked. "Your mother had her." 

"I'm not sure you were actually aware of that. You've been so focused on Dargek's leg that you haven't been giving nearly enough time to Lily. We had two children. They're barely a month old, they can't fend for themselves and you certainly can't dump Lily on whoever happens to have her."

"SHUT UP!" She screamed. "JUST SHUT UP! I NEVER WANTED TO GO OUT THERE!" She clung to Dargek in desperation. "I HATE EVERYTHING! I HATE THIS! I HATE THEM! I HATE ALL OF IT!" Child in arm, she dove out of the window. 

It was a moment before his brain could react to what just happened. He stared out of the window in complete shock. After a moment, he turned and ran. 

"MOMMA!" He ran all the way down to the training yard, Lily still tucked in his arms. "MOMMA!"

"Darguni, what the hell?"

"She jumped out of the window, Momma! She just completely lost her shit and dove. She still has Dargek and I'm terrified she's going to do something stupid." Tears streamed down his face. "I don't know what to do!"

"Susan, can you take care of a fourth?"

"Give her to me." 

Elunara plucked Lily from Darguni's arms and got her onto the platform. "EVERYONE! LISTEN UP! WE HAVE TO FIND LYDIA! NOW!" She began directing the yard. "She has one of her babies. No matter what, the child must be unharmed! Bring her back!" She turned to Darguni. "Tell me everything." 

He searched the amphitheater, inside and out. He paced around the stage and wondered where else to look. He ran through the city, and found his way up on the hill. The sound of singing caught his attention. Carefully, he began to follow it. Finding his way to the destroyed portion of Stormwind, he gasped. 

"LYDIA!" He screamed. She was on top of a ruined building, her arms out to her sides, singing, as she danced along the ruined brick. "LYDIA, COME DOWN!" Ignoring him, she continued to twirl and sing. He didn't recognize the tune, and he wasn't sure she was using actual words. Finding purchase in a crumbling wall, he scaled it to top. 

"Lydia!" He wobbled, but managed to stand. 

"Oh, Hello!" She called brightly. 

"Lydia, where is Dargek?"

"Who?"

"Our SON, dammit!" 

"I don't have a son." She giggled. "You're funny."

"WHAT?"

She twirled and giggled. "I've always wanted to dance... couldn't before. Don't know why I can now."

"WHERE IS MY SON?" 

"Isn't it beautiful?"

"What?" He blinked.

"The sunset."

"Sun... set?" He looked around. "Lydia, what the fuck is wrong with you?"

"No more pain."

"What?"

She jumped. 

"LYDIA!" He watched helplessly as she fell. A large creature flung past him and swoop down, catching Lydia in its claws. "Thank the gods for you, SaTa!" He cried. SaTa carefully deposited Lydia to the ground and hopped out of the way. Scrambling down, he ran over. 

"Pretty BIRD!" She gasped. 

"Lydia! What the hell?" He shook her. "Where is Dargek?!"

"What a funny name!" She giggled. Cocking her head to the side, she blinked. "Did you know you're an orc?"

Elunara dropped down beside him. 

"Momma, she's completely cracked." Tears streamed down his face. "She won't tell me where my son is!"

"Lydia... Lydia, can you hear me?" Elunara ran her hands on Lydia's head. 

"Oooo, pretty. I like purple." Lydia bat at Elunara's hair.

"Her mind has snapped." Elunara frowned. Her head jerked up. Running over to the ruin, she pulled some of the wreckage aside. "Thank you for finding him, SaTa." 

"Is he...?"

"Just a standard healer sleep." Elunara frowned. "If her mind was snapped... why did she take the time to make sure he was safe?" She passed the child to Darguni. Concentrating, she frowned. "She was hit."

"Hit?"

"Someone MADE her crazy. This is cultist magic." 

"What?" His voice was a horrified whisper. "FIX HER!"

Elunara frowned. "This... isn't something I can handle. I need Mathias." 

Laying Lydia down on the table, Elunara sighed. "I need someone who can break this."

Mathias called a runner up. "Find me EVERY expert we have on cultist magic."

"But..." 

"I don't care if they're on a mission, call them in."

"But that..."

"CALL THEM, GODDAMMIT!" He shoved the man out of the door.

"I like to dance by moonlight, moonlight. I like to dance by moonlight." Lydia chimed. "Get to call my prince in the moonlight, moonlight. Get to kiss my prince in the moonlight."

Darguni clung to the sleeping Dargek. "Who would do this to her?"

"I don't know." Elunara sighed. 

"Where is my prince?" Lydia smiled. 

"I'm right here, baby." He took her hand. 

"No!" She giggled. "You're not my prince! He said I could have my prince if I flew."

Everyone's attention sharpened. "What?" Elunara asked. 

"Mhm, he TOLD me, that I had to climb to the highest peak of the highest mountain, and that when I flew, I could meet my prince and he would kiss my spell away!"

"Is it really that absurdly simple?" Elunara whispered.

Darguni leaned forward.

"Not you!" She put her hand on his mouth. "My prince is handsome and strong, my prince is wisdom and wise. I sit under my prince's window, watching and waiting. Sometimes he has to slay his dragon before he leaves the castle, but sometimes he does not." She giggled.

"Bradly." Darguni whispered. "I need Bradly." He handed Elunara the baby and took off running. Outside, Bradly was leaning against the building, his face buried in his hands. Darguni grabbed him by the wrist and started back inside.

"What's going on?"

"You have to kiss Lydia."

"What?"

"Just do it!" Darguni shoved Bradly into the room.

Bradly leaned over. 

"MY PRINCE!" She grabbed him around the neck and pulled him in, near attacking his mouth. After a moment, she stopped and blinked at him. "Bradly?"

Darguni shoved Bradly out of the way. "Lydia?"

"Darguni?" She looked around the room. "Where... DARGEK!" She shot straight up. "Where's... oh." She shook herself.

Elunara knelt. "What happened?"

"I..." Tears streamed down her face. "I was just SO angry at everything. My baby, myself, and especially you." She put her hand on Darguni's chest. "You forced me to go down there; you forced me into that stupid pile of soldiers. I just wanted to get away. To keep my baby safe from all of you meddling assholes." She glared. "I found myself at the amphitheater. I was going to hide there like I did before. I heard my name, and I turned... and I woke up here." 

"Who called you?"

"Give me back my baby."

Elunara passed the child over. "Who called you? This is important, Lydia." 

She cuddled the sleeping child. "I don't know." She shook her head. "I honestly have no idea." Frowning, she looked around. "Where's Lily?"

"Susan has her." 

"Oh." Lydia sighed. "She shouldn't have to take care of four." 

"You called for me, sir?"

Mathias looked back. "Lydia here was hit with cultist magic, what can you tell me?"

The woman walked over and began to channel. "This... this is pretty bad." She frowned. "I can't tell you who did it, without first detecting the magic on the caster. However, I can tell you, she was supposed to die." 

Lydia scrambled back against Darguni. 

"It's a suggestion spell that was supposed to terminate upon the subject's death, and if she HAD died, would be difficult to discern from there. Where was she found?"

"The ruins." 

She nodded. "It fits. If she'd died like she was supposed to, you'd think she stumbled into something in the ruin by accident." 

"So why did Bradly kissing her break it?" Elunara crossed her arms. 

"I..." The woman went back to her spell and considered. "It might actually be an accident. Part of the suggestion. Whoever did this, did NOT expect her to survive long enough to get that kiss."



For The Whored: The Future: Ch. 29



"Great, so now someone is trying to kill me." At home, Lydia sat on the couch, nursing Dargek. 

"It's not going to happen." Darguni growled. 

"I swear; you're a bigger mess than Jordan ever was." Elunara sighed. "I find it interesting that you took the time to get Dargek safe, before giving in to the suggestion." 

"What if it was part of the suggestion?" Darguni frowned. 

Elunara shook her head. "I highly doubt it. What maniac tries to kill a woman, but tells her to save the baby? No, I think that was Lydia's own mind fighting against it. Suggestions of this magnitude include a kill all. Lydia saved her baby before giving in."

"How do you know this?" He murmured.

"I've studied these sorts of things. When Jordan was under the mind control of the succubus, he could NOT attack me. He fought, even if he never knew he did." 

"Fucking hell, I'm sick of this." Lydia rubbed her eye with the heel of her hand. "Where's Lily?" She put Dargek on her shoulder. "I need both of my babies." She frowned. 

"Darguni, you stay here. I'm going to go update everyone. I refuse to leave Lydia unprotected. I'll get Lily."

"Yes, Momma." 

After she left, he frowned at Lydia. "We need to talk." 

"I was just so angry..." She sighed. "Why... why would you do that to me?" Looking up at him, she had tears in her eyes. "Knowing how terrified and upset I've been; why would you corner me like that? Do you not love me? Don't you wish to help me?"

"Lydia, Baby, the only way for you to see, is to show you. I had no idea you'd be set off like that, and by time I get through with Warren..." He growled. Darguni rubbed his neck. "Baby, I'm PROUD of my children. I don't care that Dargek has a dinky leg. I want people to see him. I want my friends to know him as he grows up. They are MY children too, Lydia. You can't keep them from me. I don't want to have to steal them from you." 

"I'm not trying to." She sighed. "I just..."

He sat down and put his hand on her cheek. "I get it, you're scared for him, and you're ashamed of him."

"I..." She choked on her words. "I'm not... Oh, Gods I am." She buried her face in his chest. "I've just been so damned afraid of what everyone would think. What they would say."

"You've got to let it go, Baby. People say their shit, and it's meaningless." He sighed and cuddled his wife and child. "When we were young, Momma once told me that you'd be the strongest of all of us, because you had to suffer the most. That... those with adversity have to work harder, do more, and have more to prove. It's not a bad thing, baby. Just because his leg is a little dinky, just means he'll be better. 

We'll make it better for him. I know you grew up with your mother's intense sadness. Now you understand that about her... but you had us." He brushed his hand down her hair. "No one else matters. If your friends can't handle how our son is, fuck em. If my friends can't handle how he is, fuck em. Our child doesn't have to be friends with anyone who will insult him."

She shuddered against him and cuddled the baby in her arms. "I realized the other day, that my only friends, are you and Bradly, Gingy, and Momma's friends. That's... all I have."

"Seriously?"

"I want my Lily." She whimpered. 

"You do care about her." He murmured. 

Lydia closed her eyes. "I guess it would be hard for you to understand." 

"Then make me understand. Ever since they were born, all I've seen you do, is freak out over Dargek, and never give attention to Lily."

With a sigh, she sat back. "When I am in here, I am safe. No one will say or do anything. When I am home by myself, I don't have to worry about anything else. I can just sit and enjoy my babies, and think and fantasize about my delicious husband. But the second that front door is opened, even to take a message, I become so completely terrified for him, that I can't think of anything else until that door is closed again." 

She passed Dargek to him, before leaning forward, and burying her face in her hands. "In here, my children are whole, and perfect, and nothing is wrong. I can cuddle them, I can play with them, I can enjoy the warm sensation if their joyous energy. You seem to forget that I am like Elunara in that I can feel energy." She wrapped her arms around her waist. "I can feel when people are angry with me, I can feel their scorn. I am completely terrified, that when they see my baby, that fear and anger will start again. When I was working with Jordan, I could feel how much I pissed him off. When I worked with Grogek, I could feel the hatred of every single person who believed I didn't deserve to be there. I don't have friends, because I can FEEL what people think of me, for good or bad."

"I had forgotten." He murmured, as he cuddled his son.

"It almost destroyed me last time... I can't handle it again." 

"A more troubling thought plagues me..."

"What...?"

The door opened, and Elunara walked in. 

Lydia jumped and ran, practically yanking Lily out of Elunara's arms. "Oh, my precious girl!" She rushed over to the couch, soothing the angry infant. "I know, I know, you're so mad at me now, but let's get you fed." Once she had Lily adjusted, Lydia looked up. "Can my babies get my ability to feel emotions?"

Elunara blinked. "It's entirely possible. Darguni has my healing abilities." 

Lydia turned to Darguni. "And yet another reason to fear leaving the house." 

Elunara narrowed her eyes. "Has someone been directing hate at you again?"

She sighed. "I'm too afraid to leave the house and find out." 

Raking her fingers through her hair, she sighed. "I'm sorry, my girl. I completely forgot how susceptible to negative emotion you are. That WOULD make someone afraid to leave their house. Especially when they had a child so like themselves." She ran her hand over Lydia's hair. "But, we can work with it, ok?"

"But now someone wants me dead!"

"Yes, but we can't figure out who that is, until you learn to pin point your abilities. We have to get you out in public; we have to let you be seen, so they can make their move."

"You want me to be bait?"

"Extremely well protected bait. You will be accompanied by one of us at all times. Since we can't stop our days to protect you, you have to come with us."

"But..."

"Please don't make me order you."

"I'll do what I'm told." Lydia sighed.

Bradly scratched the back of his head and sighed. He'd been over these ruins a dozen times in the past few days, and still he could find no evidence. Not that it mattered, as Mathias had a few dozen agents ripping the place apart. He picked up a chunk of brick and turned it in his hands, over and over again, mentally willing it to give up its secrets. 

"Bradly?"

He looked up. "Oh, hey Bryan." He winced and tossed the brick down. 

"What are you doing?"

"I was..." He blinked down at the brick. "I... well?" He looked at Bryan. "What's in the basket?"

Bryan put his hand over the cloth on the top of the basket. "Just more art supplies." He grinned. "Why don't you come over, and I'll try out a new medium?"

Bradly turned his head and closed his eyes, willing himself to say no. He turned back and his eyes went back to the basket. "Actually..." He licked his lips. "It's my turn for Lydia duty." His mind cheered at the victory.

"Oh." Bryan face fell and the pout began.

Bradly fought the urge to backtrack. "Yep. Until the asshole is caught, we're all doing our duty to her."

"Duty?" Bryan perked up. 

"Yes, duty. I am a soldier." He laughed. "And my mother's word is law." Backing up, he almost tripped on debris. "Well, have to go!" He escaped with his life.

Bryan frowned and cocked his head. Reaching down, he picked up a chunk of brick and turned it over. With a shrug, he tossed it to the ground and headed on. 

How he managed to make it to Tippy's in one piece, Bradly would never know. Guilt at ditching Bryan chased on his heels, but relief of escape soon swamped him. 

"What'll it be?" Tippy cocked her hip. 

"A picnic basket." He grinned.

With a laugh and a roll of her eyes, she went in the back. 

Lydia sighed. "I love being in the sun, but being in public makes me horrifically nervous." She fidgeted.

"The babies are sleeping, we're getting some sun, all is right with the world." Susan smiled. "See, isn't the baby puddle fun?"

"I guess."

"You know, any more of us, and they're going to have to expand this platform."

"Momma's been saying that for years." Bradly snorted. 

Lydia eyed the basket. "Picnic?"

"By portal lake?" He grinned. 

"Oh, alright." She stood up and adjusted her skirt, before tucking Dargek and Lily into the stroller. 

"Well don't act like it's a chore." He chuckled. 

Lydia waved a hand to Darguni, and pointed at Bradly. He nodded. "Alright then." 

Bradly wrapped an arm around her waist. "I'll admit, I had the thought when I saw Bryan with a basket."

"How's that going, these days?"

"Eh, I'd rather not talk about it. Right now, I'd rather spend time with you." He kissed her neck. 

Bryan spotted Bradly curled up against Lydia, basket in hand. With a pout, he changed course and headed home. 

As he watched Lydia nurse, Bradly licked his lips. "Geez, did your tits get bigger?"

"Of course they did, you twit. They're full of milk." She laughed. 

"My damn." 

Winking at him, she giggled. "You'll have to wait your turn." 

"Mm, would you give me a turn?" He grinned. 

She tugged the front of his uniform. "With pleasure." She pressed her lips to his. 

His hand came up and crushed into her hair as he pulled her in. As their mouths melded together, his other hand rested on the child she held, and he sighed. 

"What's wrong?" She whispered. 

"I'm a horrible, selfish person." 

Brushing her hair out of her face, she giggled. "What now?"

He ran his hand over Lily. "I still want you to bear my child." 

Her entire body froze. "What?"

"I'm awful, because even while I know how much Dargek hurts you, I still wish you'd consent to mine."

"But..." 

"Lydia, your children are beautiful and perfect. I don't care that Lily is so tiny, or that Dargek has a troubled leg. They're yours, and I wish they were mine. I know why Darguni is so proud of his children; I feel his desire to share them." He brushed his fingers on her cheek. "I'd be happy with just one." He whispered. "Damned Darguni got two out of the deal." He sighed. 

Lydia began to shake all over. 

"I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have..."

"No!" She held up a hand and gasped. "I feel them."

"Them?"

"The..." She gasped for air and clung to him. Shivering, she soothed Lily. "No, no, it's ok sweetheart, momma's fine."

"What happened?"

"The one who wants me dead? Was nearby. I could feel their hate... right through my chest." 

Later, Lydia stood in the nursery, singing to all of the babies at once. Susan was soaking in the hot bath downstairs, and Lydia had offered to watch the trio. Running a finger on Grogash's cheek, she sighed. "You are so beautiful and healthy. How strange that you are my children's uncle, and yet you'll grow up together and share a birthday." 

"Our family doesn't "do" normal." 

Lydia looked back and grinned at Darguni. "Damned straight." 

He wrapped his arms around her waist. "It does me good to see you smile like that." 

"It's good to be able to." She sighed. "Aunts and uncle, meet niece and nephew. How silly is that?"

He licked her neck. "Pretty silly." Slipping his fingers under the edge of her skirt, he rubbed his erection against her ass. 

"Well, someone is in-" She gasped when his fingers slipped into her. "A mood."

"I like seeing my wife smile. Think they're all out for now?"

"I can clear a few minutes." 

He pumped his fingers in and out, spreading the sticky wet.

"Here?!" She gasped.

"Nah, we're going up. I just didn't want to let go just yet." The fingers of his other hand tugged at her nipple. 

"Oh, those are sens-" She near shrieked when he bit her shoulder. 

"I better get you upstairs, before you wake the babies and then we're both in trouble." He scooped her up and jogged upstairs. 

He had her undressed in record time, before he climbed on the bed. Dipping his head down, he licked a breast, before sucking on the hardened nipple. "Breast milk is fascinating."

"Hey! That's for the babies." She put her hands on her nipples.

"That's alright; I had an appetite for something else." Scooting down, he licked her center flat. When she gasped, he grinned and buried his face into her warm, slick folds. Pushing her legs up and out, he spread her wide, and delighted himself in licking every tiny space, as she gasped and groaned. Somehow, it managed to be his favorite part, when she grabbed on to the ponytail she had given him.

When she was half mad with it, he shifted up, and buried himself into that wet heat. Wrapping his arms around her back, her took possession of her mouth, and groaned at the mingle of flavors. 

Gasping, she pushed at him. "Give me..."

"Anything." He whispered. 

"Please, my ass... I want it..."

Struggling to maintain himself, he kissed her again, groaning into her mouth. "It's yours." Raising his body above hers, he tugged himself free, before shifting down and adjusting. "As you wish." He pressed into her slowly, watching her writhe and gasp as she clung to the sheets. Once he was buried in her, he reached into the drawer, and pulled his duplicate out. Gently, he pressed it into her slick center. 

She arched completely, her head buried back into the pillows, as she gasped. 

"Too much?" He whispered.

"GIVE!" She pleaded. "GIVE it to ME!"

As he slowly pumped himself in and out of her ass, he moved the metal dick in and out of her front. She clamped down around him, but still she didn't want to stop, so he began to drive it harder, watching for any signs of distress. By time she collapsed, shaking and exhausted, he'd given up on his own erection, only wanting her pleasure. At last he gave in, as he filled her. 

Tugging the metal one free, he grinned. "How was that?"

"Mind blowing." She panted. 

He tugged himself loose. "Aw, I hate it when I hurt you." He rubbed his fingers across her asshole.

"Actually, I think shaking like a maniac is what did it." Concentrating, she grinned. "At least I heal easy."

"Yeah, but I still dislike hurting you." He cuddled her in his arms. 

"That's because you're so sweet." She rubbed a hand on his cheek.

"So, did my brother help any today?"

"He gave me much to think about." She sighed. "He... Well, he still wants me to have his child."

Darguni just blinked. "Hm."

"Strangely, it made me feel better." She said quietly. 

"Then that's all that matters to me."

"There's something else..."

He kissed her ear. "You can tell me anything."

"The one who hates me was there." 

Darguni sat straight up. "WHAT?"

"He... he was so filled with rage... I couldn't breathe." She whispered. 

He yanked her up. "We have to tell mother." 

"Can I at least have some clothes?"



For The Whored: The Future: Ch. 30



Elunara paced back and forth. "I don't have to ask if you're sure, but you have to give me everything, every little nuance."

"It was like taking an arrow to the chest." 

After near an hour, Elunara sighed. "I need to train you better."

"Sorry, momma" Lydia fidgeted. 

"Not your fault." Elunara sighed. "We'll find the bastard... and when I get my hands on him..."

Bradly walked in the door with a groan. 

"What's wrong, hon?" 

"Bryan AGAIN." Bradly wiped his mouth. "I tried, yet again, to go over there and break up with him, and find myself..." He shuddered. "I'm going to bed." He stomped past and slammed the door.

Lydia and Elunara just stared at each other. "I'll go talk to him." Lydia slid off the couch. 

"Come in." He sat up. "Lydia!"

She quietly closed the door behind her. "I came to check on you." 

"Ugh, this is getting out of hand, damn it." He flopped back. "After my discussion with you, I thought that maybe I had a handle on things. But the second he opens that door, and wrapped his arms around me, my brain shuts down." 

Sitting on the edge of the bed, she ran her fingers through his hair. "I'm sorry, I brought this on you."

With a sigh, he fiddled with her hair. "Maybe. I don't know. At first, it was kind of fun. Something new to try. But then my emotions got muddled, and I thought that... maybe if I took a break from both of you, I could figure out what I wanted. Instead, I never got to the conversation with Bryan." He sighed. "Then you were so busy with Darguni, I didn't want to interrupt... I finally, FINALLY got a needed break from Bryan when he became obsessed with that stupid statue, and I realized... I realized that I just don't feel anything for him. I was taking momma's ideal of a sensation, and I didn't mind the experiment, but I still consider myself straight. Even if I couldn't have YOU, I want women."

"That's very strange." Bending down, she kissed his forehead. "Maybe you're with him out of guilt or loneliness."

"Certainly not loneliness. I'd rather be alone forever than have to suck another dick." He groaned. 

"I don't mind sucking dick." She considered. "I rather enjoy it."

"Now is not the time to make me hard, Lydia." He warned. "In any event, I wondered if I stayed because I feared my mother's wrath... but even she thinks this whole mess is weird. I know Jerry and Louis are practically momma's oldest friends, but even then I'm not worried about pissing them off. I just don't know why Bryan does this to my brain."

She licked her lips. "I know I should be more concerned..."

"Hm?"

"But now all I can think about is getting my mouth on you." 

"Gods!" He tugged himself free of his pants. "Do you see what you do to me?"

Bending over, she licked the length of him. "You should see what you do to me." She whispered. Standing up, she shoved her skirt to the floor. 

He reached out and ran his fingers through the soft hairs, and to the folds below. "Oh, Sweetheart, you're soaked." He groaned, and he slipped a finger in. 

She climbed into the bed, her legs on either side of his head. As she licked him over and over, he tugged her hips down and buried his face in those dripping folds. Groaning, she slipped her mouth over the tip, and began to work her way down over him. He licked at those beautiful pink folds, his fingers slipping down inside of her. He searched for that spot he knew would make her crazy, rubbing his way through, until she writhed in his grasp. When she clamped down, he let go of himself into her mouth.

Lydia sat up with a gasp. For a moment longer, Bradly licked at her dripping center. Shivering, she dislodged herself. "Stop that!" She laughed. 

He tugged her down. "Gods, how much I've wanted to get my hands on you again." 

"When I've gotten my second wind..."

He climbed out of bed and finished undressing. Naked, he climbed on top of her. Grinning, he tugged her shirt off and tossed it in the floor. "You. You are what I want." 

Lifting her arms, she grinned. "Take me." She whispered. 

Groaning, he joined their mouths together, sucking and nipping at her lips. Wrapping his body with hers, he buried himself inside of that wet heat. Together, they rocked and bucked their hips, making him slide in and out of her, as her legs wrapped around his hips. Desperation had him ramping up his speed; desire had him struggling to maintain the time. At last they shivered and shook, letting go together. 

He cuddled her in his arms. "I've missed this so much." He murmured. 

"I'm sorry." She snuggled down into his arms.

"No. No, I totally get it. You've been busy with your husband and your babies, and I've been trapped in confusion hell. My every waking moment has been taken up by some lunacy or another. I've been trying to find the time to be with you, but..." He sighed. 

Lydia popped up. "Sorry!" Yanking her clothes on, she bolted up the stairs. 

With a sigh, he scrubbed his hands through his hair. 

The next day, Lydia leaned against Elunara as they sat on the couch. "Thank you for letting me stay home today. It's becoming exhausting." 

"Everyone needs a break. Besides, I have to finish up some commissions so I can get my measurements for my suppliers. Most of my work is at home today." She pointed at the door. "Get that, will you?"

"Yeah sure." Lydia yanked open the door. She froze, before slamming the door and running upstairs. 

Concerned, Elunara sat her board down. It was a moment of indecision, if she should go after Lydia, or check the door. Finally, she opened the door and blinked. 

"Uh, hey. Darguni said it was ok if we came over for a few minutes." A group of soldiers were standing on the porch. "We all feel really bad about what happened the other day." Patrick frowned.

"We've all taken turns whacking Warren in the head." Becca added. 

"Believe me..." Warren sighed. "I've got bruises." Rubbing the back of his head, he sighed. "I was trying to pick on Darguni, I had no idea..."

Elunara sighed. "Come in. Wait down here." She headed upstairs. "Lydia..." She sighed. 

"NO!" Lydia hid behind the bed. 

"Sweetheart..." She stooped down in front of Lydia. "I know you're scared, but this will help."

"No, please." She whimpered. 

Elunara sat down. "Sweetheart, you need to learn how to deal with people. I don't feel like you feel, and maybe, just maybe, we can teach you how to absorb and block appropriately. Don't think of this as some humiliation, think of it as a learning experience. They don't know that you can follow their emotions. You can start your child's life off from a good place."

"What?"

"Think about it. You can read them. In a way they don't know exists. If they give you a negative emotion, you can shove them out. You can learn to control how much you pull in, even when it's all aimed at you. You can know, exactly who you really SHOULD protect your child from. Mothers everywhere would PAY for that kind of ability." 

"But..."

"Let me be your spine. Come on, let's get your babies, and I'll teach you a new skill."

Meanwhile, Patrick glared at Warren. "Your stupidity has the wife of our friend hiding in her bedroom."

"Gods, I didn't mean it." He groaned. He crossed his arms. "How was I to know he had a dinky leg?"

"You know... why haven't we tried to be nicer to Lydia?" Becca bit her thumbnail. "I mean, even when everyone treated her like Darguni's sister..."

Patrick shrugged. "She always kind of hid behind them. Even when she was doing all that singing, and we went to her concerts and things, she would hide afterwards. I tried to be nice, but she kinda acted like I was trying to pull a mean prank on her." 

"Yeah." Robert frowned. "I'd say hi, and she'd glare at me and ask me what I wanted."

"I guess you guys don't know." Aaron sighed.

Everyone turned and looked at him.

"She was born with dinky legs too. Both of them. I knew her before Elunara healed her body. Most of the girls in this city were complete and utter shitheads to her. I freely admit that I was mean to her too. It's kind of ironic that Gingy is her friend now, because Gingy was the main one who helped everyone ruin Lydia's life. She's terrified of people with just cause." He rubbed the back of his neck. "Kids are horrible." 

Warren buried his face in his hands. "Kill me now." 

Everyone looked up at the door opening. Elunara came out, one baby on her shoulder, her hand holding Lydia's. Lydia had her face buried in the other baby on her shoulder. They reached the bottom of the stairs. Elunara whispered something to Lydia. Lydia nodded. 

"Ok, we're going to try this again." Elunara smiled. 

Everyone shoved Warren forward at the same time; he nearly fell over with it. "I want to apologize again for upsetting you." He rubbed his neck. "I was trying to tease Darguni, in that stupid ways that guys do... I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, honest. Guys say really stupid shit to each other, I swear it." As Lydia continued to stare at him, he shifted uncomfortably. "Look, I had no idea he had a bum leg. I would have never said anything if I had. He's kinda cool, and if you let me, I'll make it up to you, I swear."

Lydia looked at Elunara, who leaned over and whispered. Lydia closed her eyes and struggled to maintain her breathing. After nodding to Elunara she took a step forward. "He..." Her throat closed up on her. "He..." She whimpered. 

"I really didn't mean to be a complete douchebag." Warren frowned. 

"He is sincere." She whispered. 

"What?" His head jerked up. 

"I know..." She struggled to maintain her breathing like Elunara taught her. "I know you... are trying to be... sincere."

"How...?" He shook his head. "Well this family IS a little weird." As everyone else smacked their foreheads, Warren slapped his hands over his mouth.

Lydia gave a watery laugh. "The best kind of weird." Soon she was shaking with it. "The... the family policy." She giggled. 

"Um, do... you forgive me?" He winced. "You don't have to, but I'd rather know or not."

"I guess... you had no way of knowing." She said quietly. 

"No." He sighed. "Not really. Look, all I really know, is that you're Darguni's wife and you're really shy. Except for when you're singing and you sing like a graced angel. I always thought it was kind of funny, how you'd get up there and sing... and then immediately take off like the demons of hell were chasing you. Aaron finally got around to telling me why... AFTER I made a goddamned idiot of myself." He sighed. "I just thought it was some kind of weird stage fright, not that you were bullied as a kid." 

Lydia looked over and Aaron gave a half wave. "I'm sorry we were all shitheads to you... Ok, I am sorry that I was a shithead. Anybody else can apologize for themselves." He snorted. 

"I never knew..." Becca frowned. 

Lydia turned around and tried to make for the stairs.

Elunara shot her hand out. "Where are you going?"

"I can handle pity even less than I can handle hate." 

The group collectively winced. "I don't blame her." Elunara eyed the group. "In this house, we don't do "pity". It's counterproductive. I can understand your desire to repent for the past, but we don't do pity here. We do encouragement, determination, and independence. Pity is a wasted emotion for someone who has worked so hard to move beyond her previous hurts."

"I didn't mean it like that." Becca sighed. "I mean, I understand it comes off that way... But none of us really know the REAL you. We only know that you were Darguni's sister and now you're his wife. You tried to be a soldier and failed at it rather spectacularly, and when Grogek pissed you off, you actually did some reasonable damage to him, which was impressive by itself."

"We also know your singing is amazing, and all of us remember your big concert." Morgan popped up.

"We know you had a shitty childhood," Patrick picked up. "but look at what you have now. It's nothing short of amazing."

"Yeah." The group nodded. 

"And honestly, we all think your kids are adorable." Warren nodded. "We're all pretty thrilled that one of our friends had kids he doesn't shut the fuck up about." He laughed. 

"I can't wait til I have my own." Becca blushed when everyone turned to look at her. "Well... I can't." She muttered. 

Patrick scooted closer. "Is that so?" He wiggled his eyebrows. "I'd be more than-"

She shoved his face. "Back on topic, pervert."

Lydia giggled. All attention was back on her. Her face went red.

"Look," Warren raked his fingers through his hair. "I believe everyone can agree with me, when I say that... you're our friend's wife, and we'd like to try to be your friend as well. It just seems silly to try and invite Darguni to things, when he'd rather be with you. So, it'd be kind of cool if you'd come hang out too. Become part of the group, ya know?"

"Yeah!" Becca clapped her hands. "That way we could learn more about you. It would be nice to have more friends." 

"I agree." Aaron winced. "I mean, I've known you for years, and I don't really know all that much about you." 

"Other than the fact you were a total shitdick?" Warren snorted. 

Dargek began to fuss, and Lydia closed her eyes and began to sing softly. Everyone stopped and stared. 

Elunara ran her hand on Lydia's back. "Yes, just like I taught you, sweetie." 

After a moment, Dargek went back to sleep. 

"Dude!" Warren breathed. "I didn't know you could do that."

Lydia looked at Aaron. "Remember when Darguni and Bradly declared me blessed of the goddess?" He nodded. "They weren't kidding. I've received so much healing energy from her, that I too have her abilities."

"Does that make you a goddess?" He whispered.

"No idea." She shook her head. "Dargek hurts sometimes. Elunara is teaching me how to heal his pain, even if I cannot heal his leg." 

"That is seriously cool." 

"Can... I hold him?" Becca fiddled with her fingers. "I really want to hold them." 

Lydia looked back. Elunara nodded. "You should, my little love. It'll help." 

"Sit on the couch." Lydia pointed. 

Becca practically bounced to the couch. 

Quite some time later, Darguni walked in and blinked. "You're all still here?"

Lydia blushed. "I've... been letting them hold the babies." 

He was across the room in an instant, scooping her up and claiming her mouth. 

Becca cocked her head to the side. "You know, I've always wondered how that works... with the fang and all." Turning bright red, she clamped her hands over her mouth. 

"Damn it." Patrick snorted. "Darguni always got the hot babes." 

"They were just after his giant dick." Lydia stepped back from Darguni and buried her hot face in her hands. "Gods fuck it all." 

"No, Darguni fucked it all... at least until you." Warren snorted.

Morgan whacked his arm. "Dude, you don't tell someone's WIFE that!"

"Except I already knew." Lydia sighed. "It's a bit of a..."

Bradly came in and slammed the door. Spotting Lydia, he marched over and assaulted her mouth. When he finally let up, he threw his hands in the air. "I AM STRAIGHT!" He went in his room and slammed the door.

"The hell was THAT?" Warren blinked. 

Lydia held up a finger. "cuse... I hafta..." She pointed at the door, before following. 

"Uh, you're going to let that happen?" Morgan pointed at the door.

Darguni cackled. "Oh gods, this is going to be hilarious, I just know it."

"Bradly, what the HELL?" Lydia tried to straighten her hair. 

"FUCKING BRYAN!" He tossed up his arms. "After last night, I thought I had enough courage to just do it and get it done... the next thing I know I'm hog tied with a dick up my ass, begging for more." 

"That's... a little weird."

"A LITTLE?" He yanked off his gear and threw it in the closet. "The dick up the ass was odd enough, but the shit I let him DO to me, is just beyond anything I've never cared to do. I feel like I'm stuck on one of mom's shitty missions. "Oo fuck me, please!" AGH!" Flopping on the end of the bed, he held his head in his hands. 

Sitting next him, she rubbed her hand on his back. "I'm so sorry." 

He took her hand and kissed it. "You make me feel sane." He sighed, leaning against her.

She kissed the top of his head. "I should have never told you to go after him."

With a shudder, he wrapped his arm around her waist. "The shit he's gotten me to do..." He buried his face in her hair. "I'm completely disgusted with myself. I feel like I'm trapped under the control of a cruel dungeon master. Yet, when I DO bring myself to... disappoint him, he turns into this sad little puppy."

"Have you spoken with Elunara?"

"Yes, but she told me to ride it out while she finds time."

"Bradly, I think you need to tell her about this stuff too. It's terrifying." 

"I will... I need to. Ugh, and that stupid statue..."

"What statue?"

"Did I not tell you about the six foot statute of me jacking off? Even mother was impressed." He snorted.

"Oh, Gods. I want to see it."

"You know, maybe I'll take you to his house... see if having you there gives me any confidence."



For The Whored: The Future: Ch. 31



"Are you sure it's alright?" Lydia frowned. 

Susan laughed. "Just go. I'll be fine for just a few minutes" 

"But, five babies?"

"Honey, your husband, and your father are both right there. They can handle it if I need anything. Elunara is probably roaming nearby, and Chrissy should be up here any time now. It'll be fine." 

"Come on, Sweetheart, let's get this humiliation over with." Bradly laughed. 

"Alright, I'll be back soon, I swear." 

Bradly knocked on the door. 

"Bradly!" Bryan clasped his hands together. "I didn't expect.... Lydia?" He blinked.

"Bradly wanted to show off his statue." Lydia grinned. "He just talks and talks about it."

"Oh!" Bryan blushed. "Well, in that case." He pulled the door back. "Come in." 

Lydia blinked. "WOW. It's..." She put her hand on the statue. "It..." Shaking her head, she frowned.

"Do you not like it?" Bryan pouted. 

"Well, it's amazing, that's for sure." She decided she wasn't going to touch it again. Eyeing the work, she grinned. "The accuracy is completely crazy."

Bradly gave a nervous laugh. "Isn't it just?"

Reaching a hand out, she stopped a moment before she could touch it again. "Well, I've had my mouth on that enough to know it's accurate." She winked at Bradly. 

Grinning, he brushed her hair out of her face. "Care to give it another lick, just to be sure?" 

Putting her hand to her mouth, she giggled. "Oh, I'll do more than li--" Her smile fell and her eyes went wide.

"What's the matter sweetheart?"

She put a hand to her chest and swallowed. "I've been away from my babies too long." 

"It's only been..."

She put her hand on his arm and desperately tried to get him to catch her signals; the jerk of her head, the twitch of her eyes. "I need my babies." She turned and ran out of the door.

Bradly stepped forward, but Bryan slipped behind Bradly and slid his hands under Bradly's shirt. "Well, that was interesting. Maybe she doesn't appreciate my art?" He slipped a hand down into Bradly's pants and stroked the growing erection.

Lydia fled with her life. She collapsed against the platform. "ELUNARA!" She screamed. Everyone stopped what they were doing and stared. 

Grogek reached her first. "What happened?"

"I need Elunara! NOW! PLEASE!"

Elunara appeared from seemingly nowhere. "What?"

"I know who hates me! I know who hit me!" She gasped. 

Elunara led the charge, as Grogek, Jordan, and Darguni followed behind. "And you're sure?"

Lydia struggled to keep up. "It was gradual at first. He was annoyed I showed up, but then as Bradly and I started flirting... I thought he was going to strike me down where I stood. There's also something horribly WRONG with that statue. I... recognized it somehow." 

Elunara kicked the door in. 

"Elunara!" Bryan jolted up. "I didn't expect..." He stared at Lydia, before he turned and fled to the back room. 

"Bradly!" Lydia dove forward. He was tied across the top of the statue. 

"Wait." Elunara yanked her back. "Jordan, grab Bryan."

He was frowning at his son. "Right." 

Elunara ran her hands over Bradly. "He's out..." 

Jordan stuck his head back in. "Bryan's gone." He headed out the door and to the others. 

"Momma, please." Lydia begged. "He's... sitting on "it"."

Elunara shook her head and sighed. "Look at the bruises on his body." She tried to untie him and jerked her hands back. Summoning her dagger, she tried to cut them, and only got a jolt for her efforts. "Lydia, go to Mathias, tell him I need a spellbreaker." After Lydia left, Elunara let herself break down.

Jordan came back in and closed the door. "It's the same, isn't it?"

"Yes, and no." She wiped her eyes. "Yours was a succubus. This is cultist magic" Finding a towel, she tossed it over Bradly's prone body. "The result is the same. A tame little pet that lets you do anything you want to it." 

"Can we at least shift him off?"

"I tried." She held up her healing hand. "These burns are deep." Closing her eyes, she struggled to keep calm. When Jordan wrapped his arms around her, she shuddered. "I told him to wait... and I never made time... this is all my fault." 

"Baby, you couldn't have known." 

"He TOLD me, I RECOGNIZED it, and I did NOTHING." 

He winced. "I..."

"Momma?" 

"Bradly?" She put her hands on his chest. "Bradly, fight it, baby. Fight it."

"Hurts..."

"I know, baby." She tried to focus her energy but reached nothing. As tears streamed down her face, she tried over and over again to break the barrier.

"Just keep fighting it." Jordan put his hand on Bradly's head. 

"Dad?"

"Yeah, I'm here. We'll get you out of this trap as soon as we can."

"A spell breaker is on the way." She tried to cut the ropes again and hissed as her hand was burned. In anger, she kicked the base of the statue. Cracks shot through the marble. She and Jordan shared a look, before the both of them started kicking at the statue. 

Jordan summoned his sword and jammed it in the largest crack. Together, they forced the break open further, shattering the base and causing the statue to break. Bradly screamed as a shockwave burned into his wrists and the worst piece was jammed up further. Seeing the blood, Elunara threw herself on to his body. Pouring her energy out, her body was burned from the power surge, as she forced her healing abilities away from herself and into Bradly's body. 

The door opened and Lydia gasped. Throwing herself on to Elunara, she began to channel the energy. The spell breaker threw themselves into the task of breaking the hold on the boy. Another spell breaker came in, followed by a third, and together they worked on the spell binding Bradly. Lydia shifted her body, pouring her energy into Elunara instead. 

Darguni licked his lips. While he disagreed with his mother to reclaim the rat alive... he would not disobey orders. In fact, the order didn't say what state he had to be in. On a hunch, he hit up Jerry and Louis first. 

"Darguni! This is a surprise." Jerry blinked.

"Has Bryan been by?"

"No." He looked back at Louis. "Have you seen Bryan today?"

"When I was out shopping, I spotted him. He was distracted, said something about a picnic." Louis frowned. "Are you after Bradly?"

"Bryan tried to kill my wife, and kidnapped my brother."

"WHAT?" Jerry choked.

"Sirs, I don't have time. But believe me, Bryan is under arrest immediately. If you prevent his capture..."

Jerry began yanking on his gear. "I'll bring my son down, no matter the cost."

Louis nodded as he got dressed. "Whoever he's become, we'll stop him if need be." 

Bryan swore under his breath as he made his way through trade district. He had to get to the flight master immediately, but the nasty snarl of adventurers and nobodies was making it near impossible. A hand on his shoulder made him jolt. 

"Oh, hey, dad." He held tightly to the package in his arms as he blinked at Louis. "I thought today was your off day." 

"It was." Louis frowned. 

Another hand clamped to his other shoulder. "Hey, dad." 

"Bryan, what have you done?" He whispered. 

Bryan's eyes went wide and he hugged the bundle to his chest. "I... don't know what you're talking about."

"Come with me." Jerry tightened his hold on Bryan's shoulder.

"NO! NO, you can't make me!" He began to struggle. 

Jerry and Louis grabbed Bryan by the arms. "It's probably best you dropped out of the guard." Jerry sighed. "Come on, you have a lot to account for."

Bryan sat, tied to a chair, tears in his eyes. "Bradly should have been MINE, damn it." 

Elunara sighed. "Bradly currently covered in cuts, bruises, and SCARS thanks to you." 

"You don't know anything! You're just a female. Things happen. It's part of the experience."

She put a hand to her forehead. "Just... start from the beginning." 

Bryan grumbled. "I'd say... I'd say I was sixteen, when a bunch of us went for a swim in the lake... and" He sighed. "Bradly took off his shirt... and I just knew. That moment I just KNEW that he was all I wanted." He sighed again. "I tried so desperately to join the guard so I could spend time with him. But, while I had to sleep in the barracks with a bunch of smelly gorillas, Bradly got to stay HOME with his PARENTS!" He shook in his chair. "That was supposed be my CHANCE and I got STUCK... UGH I can't even..."

Jerry sighed. "You only joined the guard to be with Bradly?"

"I HATE physical tasks." He pouted. 

"Where'd the magic come in?" Elunara redirected the attention.

"Well, I quit the guard, because, ew. But there was a secondary problem... Lydia. Bradly had eyes ONLY for Lydia. Like, that's all he ever talked about, all he ever cared about. But SHE didn't see it. Gods, I hate that snotty bitch." 

Elunara's arm shot out and she grabbed Darguni and forced him back. "And then what?"

"Well, I went looking through the libraries for information on... well gender sets. I wondered if there was a way you could turn someone gay or straight. What I actually found, was information on succubus magic, which is interesting and all, but doesn't exactly apply. Then I found this study... it was actually a study on you..." Bryan licked his lips. "You may not BE a succubus, but you certainly wield succubus magic."

She groaned. "THAT theory again?"

"It's not a theory." Bryan shook his head. "Anyway, I studied it, I mastered it, and then I added my own spin. You see, when Lydia rejected Bradly, she gave me the opening I needed. So, I kissed him." He giggled. "When Bradly didn't reject me... I knew, absolutely KNEW I was on the right path. I just had to make it stronger. I just had to build a conduit."

"The statue." She murmured. 

"Exactly!" 

"So why did you try to kill my wife?" Darguni growled.

"BRADLY IS MINE, DAMN IT!" Bryan shook against his bonds. "That stupid harlot was weakening the magic! Every time she brought him back into her embrace, the magic weakened and I had to try all over again!" He huffed and he puffed. "When she finally fucking married YOU, I had him all to myself, you see. MINE! MINE, MINE, MINE!" He flipped his hair out of his face. "You should be grateful." He snorted. "I was going to have her toss the abomination first, and then she'd die with a HAPPY memory in her head. Gods only know WHY she was able to hide the rat." 

Elunara shoved Darguni backwards. "Do not let him get to you. I did not let you in here just to kill him." She jerked her head and everyone stepped out, leaving Bryan in the chair. Once the door closed, she stumbled. 

Darguni held her up. "Mother, you're not well."

"I'll get to the yard in a minute." 

Louis raked his fingers through his hair. "Gods, who knew he'd turn out like this?"

"Don't blame yourself." Elunara shook her head. 

"Can we just go to the orphanage and get another one?" Jerry snorted. "Sorry, Louis. It was supposed to be a joke." He wrapped his arms around his husband. 

Varian sighed. "Bryan can wait until after Elunara gets energy." He shook his head. "We need time to figure out how to deal with him, don't make me order you." 

Darguni scooped her up. "I'll get her there." 

"Ugh, you are SO like your father." She snorted.

"I consider that a complement." He took off running. 

Bradly groaned and grabbed his head. 

"Oh, good, you're awake." Lydia ran her fingers on his cheek.

He shot up. "Sweetheart, your face!" 

Wincing, she sighed. "Yeah. It's not deep. Just a minor burn." She rubbed her own cheek. 

"What happened?"

"I'm not entirely sure, but Bryan had tied you to some altar thing. When Momma tried to free you, it... reacted. She's burned pretty badly." She shifted Dargek to the other side. 

"I... am SO confused."

"Apparently, Bryan has being using magic on you." She said quietly. 

"Like..." He put a hand to his mouth. "Like dad."

"Yes." She stood up. "Forgive me, I need to switch babies." 

"Of course." When she left, he yanked the cover back. With a wince, he shifted over. 

"Please don't get out of bed. Momma healed you what she could, but there's still some damage to heal. I can handle minor things, but if you do something nasty to yourself..." 

"Why...?"

"I can't lie to you... He had you... impaled on the statue." 

Bradly froze.

"It's exactly as bad as it sounds. When momma and Jordan broke the statue, it... shattered in your ass. There's a fair amount of damage and I need her to heal it properly. I can stop bleeding, but that's as far as I get. Momma's got Bryan in interrogation right now." She rubbed her cheek. "Plus, I'm working on my own injury." She sat down. "Bradly, I'm SO sorry." 

"I..." He blinked. "I'm kind of relieved."

"What?" She switched Lily over. 

"This has been driving me completely INSANE, and to find out it wasn't even my fault?" Putting the back of his hand against his mouth, he laughed. "I can BREATHE again!" 

Leaning forward, she brushed his hair back. "I was so worried about your mental state."

"Yeah, but... You have to realize how much time we've all spent with Dad. His was worse... he has a child from what happened to him. I KNOW it wasn't HIS fault, and so I KNOW it wasn't MY fault either." He raked his fingers through his hair. "I mean, it's freaking me the fuck out, I won't lie... but all this guilt and depression and confusion, it been lifted. Just... POOF! I was giving in to all this shit he made me do... I was horrified, disgusted, disturbed, and yet none of it was really me!" 

Once she had Lily on her shoulder, Lydia climbed in the bed beside him. She laid her head on his shoulder. "Good." 

"You have no idea how much I've hated myself." He wrapped his arms around her waist. 

The door opened and Darguni narrowed his eyes. "You're not healed enough for THAT."

Lydia giggled. "We were just cuddling." 

"I dumped mom at the yard and came home." 

"Did you get it out of him?"

"Boy did we." Darguni sat on the edge of the bed and told them all of it.

"The fuck?" Bradly shook his head. 

Darguni rubbed his fingers on Lydia's healing cheek. "My poor wife." He murmured. 

Lydia blinked. "Do that again." She whispered. 

He ran his fingers over it. "This?"

"I feel you." She whispered. 

"What?"

"Bradly, you do it."

Curious, he rubbed his fingers over her burn. 

"Interesting..."

"Are you going to tell us?" Darguni chuckled.

"My... healing energy is pulling off of yours when you touch me. Bradly gives me a little bit of energy, which feels good, but you... you actively GIVE me your healing ability. It's... almost euphoric." 

"Then how about this?" He pulled her face to his and soft and slow, he kissed her. 

When they broke, she gasped. "Oh, wow..."

"Um... are you going to keep at that?" Bradly shifted uncomfortably. 

"Hey, Bradly..." Lydia whispered. 

"Yeah?"

"You want children, right?"

"Yes, I..." He blinked as she plopped Lily in his arms. 

"There's some practice." She grabbed Darguni's hand and ran up the stairs. 

Bradly blinked down at the baby. "Well then." 

Elunara popped in the door. "Uh, where'd that girl go?"

"Fucking her husband." Bradly pointed at the ceiling. 

"And she gave you Lily?" She smacked her forehead. "That was NOT the instructions I left her with!"

"Before you strangle her... she just discovered that Darguni's healing ability actively transfers to her when they touch." 

Her eyes went wide. "Really?"

"She called it "euphoric"."

"I'll be damned." Elunara sat on the bed. "Alright, I need to heal you more."

"Have at it."

She laid her hands on his shoulder and began to concentrate. "How are you handling it?" 

Her voice was quiet, but he could hear the strain. "Momma, I would be dancing around like a moron if I wasn't worried about ripping myself apart."

"Are you sure?"

"I just got proof I wasn't losing my mind." He cuddled the infant in his arms. "I don't... I don't even want to discuss the things he made me do." He shuddered. "I just got through telling Lydia... I felt like I was trapped in one of your awful stories..." Taking a deep breath, he shuddered again. "Book sixteen, page thirty four." 

She froze. "No."

Shaking, he nodded. Hugging the child to him, he fought tears. "Book twelve... page nine, book nineteen, page forty five... The list goes on." 

Elunara put her hand over her mouth. 

"Momma, I was starting to think that... I thought that I liked it and that's why I let him. When I escaped, I hated myself. I wanted..." He laughed. "Who'd have thought that holding a tiny baby would make me feel better about this stuff."

"I did." Lydia climbed into the bed and wrapped her arm around him. 

"You can have her back."

"No, just hold her for a little longer. It'll help." She laid her head on his shoulder.

Elunara returned to healing Bradly. After a moment, she stood up. "I'll continue this... after I go rip that little fucker apart." She pointed at Lydia. "I don't care what, you fucking sit there." She pointed at Darguni. "You run shit either of them needs." She bolted out the door.

"What did you say to her?" Darguni marveled. 

"The truth."



For The Whored: The Future: Ch. 32



Elunara burst into Mathias' office. "WHERE IS HE?" 

"The prisoner has been moved to a safe house that even you are not aware of."

"WHAT?"

"You were ridiculously calm at the interrogation. I knew that, once your initial shock wore off..." He sighed. "That lunatic had at your son, in almost the same way your husband endured. I knew that once you returned to your emotional side--"

Elunara yanked a sheet of paper off his desk and began to scribble on it. After a moment, she handed to him. 

He stared at the paper. "No."

"That's what he just told me."

Mathias sat heavily in his chair. "I... I don't blame your rage. But, we don't do things like that here." With a sigh, he tapped his fingers on the desk. "We've known each other a long time..." 

"That we have." 

"At the time in which these same things happened to you..." He tapped the paper. "You terrified me." He shook his head. "I've been through a lot of agents, and I've been at this a long damned time. When I read these things in your reports, I considered retiring you after each one. Any other agent, I would have... any other agent would have died or killed themselves. But not you. You terrified me, because you shrugged, and asked for the next assignment. I had you tested repeatedly. None of it EVER affected you. You were our best because your brain was goddamned broken. You didn't see things the way a normal person would. You have been tortured in ways that shake me to my very core, and you couldn't figure out what the problem was. 

To finally see you stand before me, heavily bothered... not by what happened to you, but what happened to your son... is a strange relief. Because the first half of your career, I was terrified of you. Of what you were or could be. Should you get it in your head to betray us, there would be nothing to stop you. Even when I sent you into Iron Horde territory, I was almost hopeful you wouldn't come back. I felt like I was living with a time bomb, and the Gods themselves would have NO damned clue when you'd finally break."

She blinked at him. "Really?"

"But you know, I don't think you came back. I've read your reports so many times, that I have them memorized by rote. You came out of that compound a new person. Someone completely unrecognizable, and I will be damned if I wasn't completely relieved. The human part of my heart, sees these things happening to your son, and sees the pain in your heart right now, and I WANT to let you have at the crazy fucker. But I can't. Elunara, I just can't. It's not how we do things in this city." He sighed. "If, in the course of interrogating him, you had to use excessive force, then I'd let you at him. But he sung like a canary." 

Her whole body shook. "He should pay..."

"Then take it up with Varian, though I doubt he'll order the torture of a prisoner." Mathias sighed. "Regardless of your status." 

Elunara marched down to the training yard and dropped off of the platform. Yanking up her staff, she went to the center of the ring. "SOMEONE FUCKING FIGHT ME!"

Susan blinked. "Someone's frustrated."

Chrissy nodded. "Badly." 

Meanwhile, Bradly sat in bed. "I'm so damned jealous of you, brother." He sighed.

Darguni was cuddling Dargek. "Hm?"

"You and your damned babies." He sighed. 

"You can hold them when you want." Lydia smiled. 

"Yeah, but I want my own, damn it."

"You're waiting a couple of years, at least." Lydia snorted. "Unless you find another woman in the mean time. I am SO taking my time."

"You mean it?" He whispered.

"Well, yeah. I mean, Susan didn't get her space between her three, and Zelinnia went insane over the space between hers..." 

He wrapped his arms around her waist. "Just the fact you'd even consider it!" He whispered. 

Darguni grinned. "Actually, I'm rather pleased you'd consider another one, given..." 

Lydia sighed and looked down at little Lily. "Your friends helped." 

Darguni scooted closer and cuddled up to her. "I'm glad." 

"Hey! No threesomes, he's not healed yet!" Elunara pointed. 

The three of them giggled. 

Elunara sat on the bed and wrapped her arms around Bradly. "My poor son..."

"Eh, it's ok, Momma." Bradly sighed. "I'm free now, and that's all I need." 

"You're stronger than I was."

Bradly grinned at Jordan. "I learned from you, dad. It's not my fault." 

Jordan sat on the bed and put his hand on Bradly's leg. "Good. You know I'm here if you need to talk." 

"I might." Bradly shrugged. "Right now, I'm just so damned relieved." He wiggled. "Speaking of relieved... Uh, am I cleared to go to the...?"

"I think you should, actually." Elunara sighed. "Might hurt, but..." 

"Ok, let me up, damn it." He wiggled out of bed and shot out of the room. 

"I'm going to stay by him." Elunara followed.

Jordan looked over. "Can I hold my grand kids?" He grinned. 

"Sure, Papa Jordan." Darguni winked, as he transferred over Dargek.

"With any luck, it'll be a bit before Lulu gives me grandchildren." He cuddled the infant. "I always did like babies." 

"I told Bradly I'd be willing to let him have a try in a couple of years." Lydia grinned. 

Jordan's eyebrows shot up. "Then you're ok with..."

"I'm getting used to it." She sighed. 

"That's all you can do." He smiled. He flipped her hair out of her face. "I remember the shy little girl who used to get embarrassed every time I looked in her general direction." 

"Then I had you for a boss and I learned how damned obnoxious you are." She snorted. 

"I don't like my time wasted, girly." He handed the boy back to Darguni and took Lily. "She's still so tiny."

"I imagine she will always be a tiny one." Lydia smiled. "That's fine though. Maybe she'll be a delicate dancer." She sighed. "I remember how desperately I wanted to be a fighter like Elunara... but now..." She shuddered. "I'll stick to singing, thank you." 

"Probably for the best... I don't want ripped apart like Grogek." He snorted. 

"Ugh, much better." Bradly climbed back in bed. "Felt like passing rocks." 

"It probably was." Elunara snorted. She sat back down. "You're nearly healed, but I think a flushing of the area was needed, as gross as that is." 

"Just get me back in working shape."

"You're taking a couple of weeks off."

"Aw, dad..."

"No. I saw how much you were bleeding. Healed or not, you're taking two weeks off because it'd make ME feel better." 

"Fine." Bradly snorted.

"Besides," Lydia grinned. "You can keep me company." She kissed his cheek.

"SOLD!" 

Later that night, Jordan cuddled Elunara in his bed. "I want to cry for my son."

"You and me both." She sighed. 

"I wonder how much of his cheeriness is false bravado, and how much of it is true." 

"Time will tell. I've already told Lydia to monitor his emotional state. Unlike me, she can actually actively feel other people's emotions."

"Really?"

"It's completely fascinating. I can only experience the positive emotions sent in my general direction. She feels all of it, no matter where it goes. She has a heightened awareness of negative emotions and they feed hard into her body. But, she can detect the minute changes in personalities. She accurately described to me the shifts in emotion in Bryan when she went in his house. When those soldiers came over, she read each one of them and even knew the direct moment they tried to pity her. It's... amazing."

"That's... curious. Well, then we need to make sure she sticks with Bradly."

"She intends to." Elunara licked Jordan's chest. "In fact, she told me an interesting little tidbit..." Elunara got up and straddled Jordan. "Would you like to know, just how like me she is?"

Reaching up, he began to fondle her nipples. "I'm dying to know."

"She asked me... when Bradly would be healed enough..." Elunara groaned. "To have a threesome with her and Darguni." Bucking her hips, she slipped down on his erection.

"Is that so?" He groaned. One hand clung to Elunara's hip. 

"Oh yes, apparently, she's gotten trained well enough to take Darguni up her ass, and desperately wants to know when she can get Bradly up her front."

Jordan's eyes went wide. "Holy shit." 

Elunara bucked her hips. "They're both built like the both of you, so you know how that goes..."

"Gods, now I'm thinking about it. I'm a horrible person."

"Pfft, then I'm the worst person in existence for making you think of it. But, little Lydia, can't wait to be ridden hard by the pair of them." 

Lydia sighed. "Poor Bradly." 

Darguni matched her sigh. "He's taking it well, but we'll see." 

"He kept trying to tell us something was wrong..." She tugged off her shirt. 

"Yeah, but Bryan's been our friend since we were kids. He's also been quiet and shy, and people picked on him unmercifully. I swear I expected that to be half of his story..."

"What WAS his story?" She pushed down the skirt. 

"He developed an obsession with Bradly and was pissed you broke his spell." Darguni tossed his clothes in the basket in the corner. 

"I... broke it?"

"Sort of? You were breaking it, so he wanted rid of you." 

"Huh."

"He tried to make you kill our baby." Darguni murmured. 

"What?" She gasped. 

"He... ordered you to throw Dargek. It was your sheer will alone that protected him."

"Nobody hurts my baby." She whispered. 

Putting his forehead to hers, he wrapped his hands around her waist. "You ARE stronger than the rest of us." He murmured. "You love him enough to fight, and fight hard. I wonder... if the illusion appealed to you enough to take your own life." 

"I wish I knew what he did to me." She sighed. "Or maybe I don't." 

"Let's not think about it." He pressed his lips to hers, dancing and tasting as they moved together. His hands brushed down her breasts, before cupping them. Bending his head down, he gently licked her nipple. Groaning, she wrapped her hands around the back of his head. Slow and deliberate, he teased her nipples hard. He brushed his thumbs over them and grinned at her shiver. 

He kissed between her breasts, before he knelt down and worked his mouth down her belly. Slipping his fingers through her soft hairs, he was pleased to find how wet she was. He pressed his finger in with a groan. Laying her head back, she grabbed his ponytail. When he tugged her leg over his shoulder, he buried his tongue into her dripping center, working both finger and tongue in and out of her as she groaned. Gently, he raked his fang across the inside of her thigh and sent shockwaves of sensation in her body, causing her to clamp and shake. 

Before she could fall, he scooped her up and laid her across the bed. "Since when do I quit that early?" He grinned. Holding on to her hips, he slipped himself inside that wet heat with a groan. As he watched her writhe and cling to the sheets, he pumped himself in and out of her. His thumb went for that soft, pink nub that drove her crazy. She arched her back and tightened her thighs against his hips. They released together with a gasp. 

He dropped forward, his hands on either side of her head, as his sweat dripped down. "Mmm, I'm going to play with your tiny body all night."

Wrapping her arms around his neck, she tugged his face to hers. "Good." She went for his mouth. 

Down below, Bradly lay in bed and stared at the ceiling. In the room directly above him, lay five tiny babies. Well, tiny was relative, but three of them were his newest brother and sisters. The other two... he rather wished were his. Oh, he was a proud uncle and he loved the kids to death, but he wished he'd put them in Lydia's belly instead. He was happy for his brother, he really was. 

Sighing, he brushed his hair out of his face. In the room above that, his brother was probably fucking the woman that Bradly had fancied himself in love with for years. It was Darguni that made Bradly realize he didn't understand the concept of love yet. And it was Darguni that got the girl over it. Even when Bradly had her first, he stupidly had no concept of how to keep her. 

Where had everything gone so damned wrong? He sighed. He wanted to turn over on his side, but that kind of hurt at the moment. Hell, every damned thing hurt at the moment. His body, his mind, his heart... It was all shot to hell. Burying his face in his hands, he wept. 

Lydia was curled up under Darguni's arm, comfortably had, and very sleepy. She jolted up and blinked. Shoving her hair out of her face, she looked around in confusion.

"What's the matter?" Darguni ran his hand down her back. "One of the babies?"

"No... it's..." She stared at the floor. "It's Bradly."

"If he needs you, go to him." 

With a nod, she pressed a kiss to his mouth, before snagging her robe and running down the stairs. 

Bradly blinked and tried to sit up. "Lydia?"

She knelt by the bed and ran her fingers in his hair. "Are you alright?" She brushed his tears off of his cheek. 

"Shouldn't you be...?"

"Tell me the truth." 

"I... No." He sighed. 

"Okay." She yanked the cover up and climbed in. 

"But..." 

"I'll stay with you." She wrapped her arms around his waist, and put her head on his shoulder. 

"Lydia... how did you know?"

"Because I felt you." She rubbed her hand on his chest. "I... You know how I can feel emotions like your mother? I can feel everyone's emotions, all the time. I felt you upstairs; because you and I are connected, and your emotion is so strong... it called to me." She kissed his cheek. "You shouldn't be alone when you feel so sad." 

"I want to make love to you so badly right now." He whispered. 

"Not happening." She tapped his nose. "Your mother would kill me if I injured you further. And I would hate myself for it." 

"I know." Nuzzling her hair, he sighed. "It's enough that you're in my bed."

"If you want to talk, we can."

"Not really."

"Alright. Forgive me, I'm sleepy." After kissing his cheek, she curled up, and promptly dropped off to sleep. 



For The Whored: The Future: Ch. 33



Blinking, Lydia knew something was off, but couldn't figure it out.

"Morning, Sweetheart." 

She jolted up. "Oh!" 

"It's not that bad." Bradly chuckled. He brushed her hair out of her face.

"Sorry, it's... been awhile since I woke up somewhere other than my bed... with... um, my husband." She blushed. 

"I imagine so." He murmured. Before she could protest, he pulled her down, and captured her mouth. 

"Hey, he's still not healed!"

Lydia jerked up. "Tell HIM that, momma." She snorted. "I have to go feed my children." 

Elunara shook her head. Watching Lydia disappear up the stairs, she sat on the bed and ran her hand over Bradly's head. "Bad night?"

"Yeah, sort of." He leaned against her. "I take it you know about Lydia's abilities."

"Currently studying how they work so I can teach her how to use them." She wrapped her arms around him and began to channel her energy. "Never forget, your family wants to help you." 

"Yes, Momma." 

"You should know... you have a right to a public or private execution."

"I..." He sighed. "I would prefer it to just quietly go away." He whispered. "I know that's difficult to do..."

"Then it will be done." She kissed his temple. "Now, you can sit in here for a few days, and Lydia will keep you company, or you can get dressed and get out of the house. You're healed enough to get up and get moving. I'll want to check in with you periodically, your injuries were... varied and in strange locations. I just don't want you to tear anything."

"Hm... Lydia... alone... in my room? Or leave the house..." Grinning, he tapped his chin.

"Did I say you were cleared for that?" Her eyebrow shot up.

"Aw, damn it." Crossing his arms, he pouted. 

With a giggle, she kissed his temple again. "You are actually cleared for that." She poked his chest. "Just no wild acrobatics." 

"Do threesomes count?"

Elunara grinned at Lydia. "They do not particularly count as wild acrobatics... depending on who's doing what." 

Lydia cuddled Dargek. "Just checking." 

Bradly eyed the door. "Come in."

Lulu peeked her head in. "I wanted to check on my brother."

"Come in, you little rat." He grinned. 

Lulu bounced over. "Momma said you were hurt pretty badly." She fidgeted. "That... the same thing that happened to Daddy happened to you."

"Yeah." He sighed. "Except I don't have to worry about one of you popping out of nowhere." He stuck his tongue out.

"I guess that's good." 

"Don't pick on your sister, Bradly." Elunara sighed. "She genuinely cares about you."

Lydia slipped back upstairs. 

"Yeah..." He raked his fingers through his hair. 

"I'm done with you for now." Elunara stood up and left the room. 

Lulu fidgeted. "I'm sorry this happened to you." She said quietly. 

"Don't worry about me." He shrugged. 

"I... I'm glad you won't have to worry about... a baby." 

He almost didn't hear her. "Are you ok?" He frowned. 

She fidgeted and looked around. "It's just..."

"Lulu, sweetie, sit down." 

She blinked at the affection, before she sat down. "I know I was never supposed to exist." She sighed and picked at her dress. "How much of a burden I've been, just simply being what I am."

"Lulu!" 

"It's true." Tears streamed down her face and she swiped at them. "I mean, daddy likes me well enough, and momma is... momma... but often I feel kind of left out, because I'm not a baby, and I'm not grown. I'm just... in the middle. A burden to everyone."

"Lulu, dad loves you, with all of his being. Yeah, it was hard for him at first, but he fell in love with you. You should have seen him when you were a baby. It was nauseating." He grinned. 

"But..."

He tugged Lulu into his lap. "You're my little sister. I know I pick on you, but ask Lydia, I'm not good at dealing with girls. Like, ever. I'm a royal fuck up. You have been my little sister from the day you were born and I've loved you ever since. I'm sorry I suck at showing affection. I was recently told that it had to do with my birth parents. You want to know a burden that everyone hates? That was MY existence. My birth mother hated me for existing, and beat the shit out of me every time it occurred to her that I was born." He cuddled her. 

"Really?" She looked up.

"Now, my baby sister, when you're in this family, everyone loves you completely. From Grogek, on down to me, everyone does. You may be dad's only birth child, but we're better than blood. We're both in this family, because this family WANTS us. That's the major distinction here." He sighed. "I'm only just starting to come to terms with what happened to me, but dad's had thirteen years. If you had been considered a burden, even once, you would have never seen us again. Believe me, when mom wants someone to disappear, they fucking disappear." He snorted. 

"You mean it?" She sniffled.

"I love you to pieces, my silly little sister. If I tease you, it's because I don't know how to do it any other way. If you think I'm being mean to you, then you have to tell me, cause I just don't know." 

"I hate when you call me rat." 

"Then I'll never call you that again. I just have to find a good nickname." He tapped his finger on his chin. "Hm. How about... Sugar?"

She giggled. "That's what momma calls daddy." 

"Then it's fitting." He kissed the top of her head. He jolted back and rocked back and forth. 

"Brother?" Lulu looked up. "Bradly?" She waved her hand in front of his face. "MOMMA!" She screamed. 

After a moment, Elunara burst through the door. "What's wrong?"

"Bradly broke!!" She scrambled out of his lap. 

"Tell me what happened." Elunara put her hands on Bradly's face.

"He... he kissed my head and poof." 

Elunara concentrated. "This..." Grabbing Lulu's arm she concentrated again. "FUCK!" 

"What?! What did I do???" Lulu began to panic. 

Elunara jolted back. 

Lulu sat in the floor and cried. 

"No, calm down. Come on, calm down... sweetheart..." Elunara gently laid her hands on Lulu. "You have to calm down."

Lydia rushed in. "What's wrong?"

"Get Jordan. NOW!"

Lydia bolted out of the door.

"Come here, sweetie." Elunara sent out her energy and wrapped it around Lulu. She tugged the girl into her lap. "If you don't calm down, you're going to hurt someone."

"What?" 

"It'll be alright, we'll work with this."

"But... Bradly..."

"Bradly is in a simple trance. Nothing is wrong with him; we have to help you first."

Jordan came in. "What's happening?

"Her powers just manifested on to Bradly. I think they sensed his... taint somehow and linked. He's in a basic trance. However, Lulu is shooting power left and right as she panics."

"My... my power?" She gasped. 

"Shit." Jordan stooped down. "What should I do?"

"I honestly have no idea. I need a warlock." Elunara shook her head. "Hell, I need Mathias." 

He ran his hand over Lulu's head. "Sweetie, you have to calm down. We'll fix this."

"Can I help?"

Elunara shook her head. "I'll hold you on reserve, Lydia." 

"Momma, I'm scared."

She increased the charge. "Come on, Lulu; let the calming energy do its work." Rocking Lulu back and forth, she began to sing. Slowly, Lulu began to drift off. When she was finally out, she turned to Jordan. "Tell Gerald. He needs to know."

"Right." Jordan turned and ran. 

"What is this?" Lydia whispered.

"We learned some time ago, that when Lulu was born, she was marked with succubus magic. We've always wondered when this would rear its head." 

"What about Bradly?"

"Lay your hands on him. See if you can break him out. It's just a basic trance." 

Lydia brushed her hand over Bradly's hair. 

He blinked up at her. "When did you get in... the hell?" He blinked down at his mother. 

"Lulu's powers have finally hit surface. She just put you in a trance." 

"Oh man, this isn't going to help what we were discussing in the least bit."

"What was that?"

"She believes that everyone else thinks she's a burden."

Elunara closed her eyes and sighed. "Grand." She stood. "I'm going to take Lulu to her room. I'll let you know..."

After they left, Bradly buried his face in his hands.

"What's wrong?"

"Lulu has thought I've hated her this whole time."

"Bradly!"

"It wasn't intentional. I thought I was just being brotherly. She never once told me that the shit that I said hurt her feelings." He scrubbed his hands through his hair. "Kind of like, all this time I thought I was treating you how you should be treated... And really I was just being shitty."

Lydia sat on the bed and brushed his hair out of his face. "Well, we're just teaching you the right way now." 

"I'm pretty sure, the only person I've treated right, was Darguni." 

Elunara paced back and forth, chewing on her thumbnail. 

Jordan came in, followed by a female worgen. "I'm told this is their resident expert on our situation." 

"I am Janella. Is this the child?"

"Yes." Elunara nodded. 

The Worgen woman ran her hands across Lulu. "Such strong magic." She scratched her muzzle. "And you say she was born of a succubus controlled mating?"

"Yes."

"Hm. It's actually not entirely uncommon. There are two types, the accidental breeding, which is usually terminated on birth, and the intentional breeding, which is usually used in sacrifices. It is highly unusual for a child of this breeding to survive, especially to this age." Still running her hands over the child, she considered. 

Lulu lay quiet and still as she listened.

"The fact that you not only kept her, but protected her, speaks to your person as parents. Even now that she is exhibiting such powers; you are still capable of terminating her."

Jordan stepped forward. "Don't you fucking DARE!"

Elunara put her hand on Jordan's shoulder. "That is never an option."

Janella nodded. "You are good people. Then she will need to be trained. It is good that she exhibited these abilities now, rather than later in life. You don't need an untrained teenager possessing every male she deems attractive." 

Gerald came in the door, followed by William. "Jordan told us to come up when we got here." 

"What is this?" Janella blinked. 

"William here is your second case. He was bred by succubus pairing to be a sacrifice. I saved him and found him parents."

Janella cocked her head to the side. "Then the rumors of the generous goddess are true."

"Damned straight." Gerald nodded. 

She moved over and ran her hands over William. "His power is strong too. Has he not exhibited any ability?"

"Well..." William blushed. 

Gerald sighed. "Tell us, son."

"Um, it happened the other day... Jessica? Well, she's been hounding me an awful lot lately, and she keeps trying to kiss me." He blushed deeply. "I tried to tell her I had someone else in mind..." His eyes shot over to Lulu's sleeping form. "But she wouldn't let up. She cornered me behind Tippy's..." He scratched the back of his head. "And I shoved her." Swallowing, his eyes darted to his father. "I know I'm not supposed to shove people, and especially not girls, but... she..." He flapped his hands around. "Froze. Like, full body, not moving, not blinking, just staring. After a moment or two, I kind of ran. She's been livid with me ever since." 

Gerald pinched the bridge of his nose. "Next time, just tell me." 

"Sorry, dad." 

Janella chuckled. "Such innocence in this one. But, the skill is there."

"Does it have to be warlock?" Jordan winced. 

Janella scratched her muzzle. "Not particularly. They should probably be tested by a mage as well, just to confirm which direction they should go. Just because the taint is from a succubus, does not exclude them to dark magic." 

Lulu sat up. "Could Zelinnia check us?"

Elunara considered. "She might be able to, but we should probably get a higher level mage."

William winced. "Could... you hear me?"

Lulu nodded.

William closed his eyed and turned scarlet. "Joy." He muttered. 

"Jessica is an annoying tart." Lulu said primly.

William flashed her a toothy grin. 

Elunara eyed Gerald, who had turned sheet white. Jordan held a similar expression. Janella just watched the little group with interest. 

Janella scratched her muzzle. "Whoever you choose to test them, it should be done now, rather than later."

Elunara scooted between the two men and put her hands on their shoulders. "Breathe, daddies. We've got more pressing matters." 

Zelinnia blinked. "You want me to what?"

"They requested you to do it, so I figured you could just try, and if you can't, we'll head up to the mage tower."

She sighed and backed up. "I guess I can give it a shot." 

Nara jogged downstairs and froze. "Lulu!" 

"Oh, hey, Nara." She pushed her hair out of her face. "Apparently I have powers of some sort. I was hoping your mom would test me." 

"Oh." He shook his hair out of his face. "Is that all?"

"Don't hyperventilate." Elunara whispered to Jordan. 

"I kinda put my brother in a trance by accident." Lulu frowned. "I'd hate to hurt someone." 

"You're too sweet to hurt anyone." He grinned. 

William cleared his throat. "We were hoping to be tested?"

Zelinnia and Elunara exchanged a look. "Right, well, sit down, I guess." 

"MOMMA! I can't find my..." Abigail froze. "William!" She turned beet red. 

He blinked. "Oh, hey Abby." 

"I didn't know you were here." She looked down at herself. "I'm not dressed!" She ran upstairs.

William blinked at Lulu. "She looked dressed to me." 

Lulu just shrugged. 

Elunara smacked her forehead. "By the end of the day, both daddies are going to need medical attention." 

"ANYWAY!" Zelinnia clapped her hands. "Let's do this thing, before there are any more interruptions." 

"Zelinnia where..." Renwa blinked. "The hell?"

Zelinnia doubled over and touched the floor, before straightening back up. "Lulu and William have exhibited powers and want ME to test them, gods fucking know why."

"Oh. Um, I can get my file after you're done." 

Reaching out, she ran her hands over both children. "Hm. Well, there's something there, though I'm a bit out of practice." She put her hands on her hips. "Quite frankly, I don't know why you wanted ME to test you. I haven't been a practicing mage in forever."

Lulu shifted. "Because I know you." She said quietly. "I..." She looked at William and then back at Zelinnia. "I'm scared. I don't," She wiped her eyes as William took her hand. "I didn't want to be tested by some stranger."

"Oh, sweetheart." Zelinnia stooped down. "It's alright. Having powers can be kind of scary at first, but once you get the hang of them..." She wiped her thumb on Lulu's cheek. "There are all kinds of fun things you can do. In fact, Abigail is supposed to go into the practice pretty soon. She's already manifested some abilities." 

"Yeah," Nara snorted. "She soaked herself when she--"

"NOT another WORD!" Abigail marched forward and shoved her finger in Nara's chest. "You hear me? NOT ONE!"

William leaned over to Lulu. "How is she any different from earlier?" He whispered. 

"I think she put on jewelry and brushed her hair."

"Ah." 

Abigail turned and smiled. "We can go into training together." 

"It would be nice to have someone I know." Lulu rubbed her hands on her legs. 

"I wonder if we can study both?" William considered.

"Well, entry classes are kind of basic." Zelinnia shrugged. "It might be best to take both, so you can see where your abilities develop."

"What if I wanted to be a healer? Like Momma?" Lulu frowned.

"We'll get Ina to test you." Elunara nodded. 

Abigail delicately sat on the couch next to William and fluttered her lashes. "We can help each other study." 

William nodded and turned to Lulu. "See? It'll be ok."

Nara sat on the arm of the couch next to Lulu. "I may not be a magic type, but I'll be here if you need me." He flashed a grin and fiddled with a lock of Lulu's hair. 

Lulu let out a sigh. "Thank you everyone, I feel so much better."



For The Whored: The Future: Ch. 34



"GAH!" Jordan yanked his hair. 

"Oh God, Oh God, Oh God." Gerald doubled over.

"Well, that was rather fun to watch."

"FOR YOU, MAYBE!" Both men yelled at Elunara at the same time. 

"You know, it has to happen eventually."

"They're only thirteen!" Gerald gestured. 

"Damned Nara is fifteen, almost sixteen!" 

"Abigail IS sixteen!" Gerald raked his hands through his hair. 

"Ok, breathe." She put her hands on both of their backs. "Breathe. Lulu is oblivious to all of it, and William is only mildly crushing on Lulu. Your babies are safe from dating disaster at the moment."

"At the moment." Jordan muttered. 

"Your more pressing issue is both children's magical abilities have come to the surface. 

"Ugh." Gerald sighed. "My stomach is in knots." 

"We've gotten to it early enough that we should be ok. You know me, I'll monitor them." She giggled. "I think it'd be adorable if our kids got married."

"GAH!" Jordan scrubbed his hands through his hair. "Do NOT mention the M word!"

"I know you're both protective of your children because of all we've been through for them, but we know that has always been on the table somewhere." She hugged them both. "Don't worry, daddies, your children are safe."

Somewhere else at the moment, Bradly had Lydia draped across his lap, as he ran his hands up and down her sides. He ran his tongue softly across her lips. "Mm, I could do this all day."

She giggled. "Hold on, I'll get the door." 

He tracked her movements across the room and out the door with a sigh. Eyeing his closet, he strongly debated going outside, but to have Lydia in his bed for the day? Heaven.

When the door opened again, he jolted up right. "General Jerry, General Louis! Sirs!"

Jerry waved his hand. "At ease."

"We came to see how you were doing." Louis's voice was quiet, his eyes sad.

"You can sit on the bed. It doesn't bother me." Bradly sighed. 

They sat, and Jerry raked his fingers through his hair. "We're horribly sorry this happened to you..."

"If only we'd known..."

"I'm going to stop both of you there..."

Lydia kissed his cheek. "I'm going to see the babies. I'll come if I'm needed." She slipped upstairs.

"I don't blame either of you for what happened." Bradly shrugged. "You couldn't have known he'd turn out like that. Hell, look at my parents, and I still find myself mimicking the behaviors of my birth parents. It recently came to my attention that I'm a complete asshole. Lulu thought I hated her, and I never bothered to try and keep my hands on Lydia. It is what it is."

"You're a good kid, Bradly." Jerry sighed.

"Thank you for..." Louis swallowed hard and closed his eyes. "Thank you for a quiet execution."

"I just want it to die with him." Bradly rubbed his neck. "I think you should know something though." He picked at his blanket. "You see, before Bryan got... truly terrifying, he used to talk about how much he envied you guys."

"What?" Jerry blinked.

"He loved you guys with all of his heart, and he was often jealous of your "perfect relationship", and wanted to use it as the cornerstone of our relationship. Sort of the pedestal of example. He wanted someone who could love him so completely like you guys loved each other. Even when he was pouty, there was this note of frustration that I wanted to continue on with Lydia. Sometimes, it was this pouting that made me feel too guilty to defy him. He used to call me his Jerry to his Louis." Bradly's tone was reflective, his voice quiet. "It was one of those strange cycles, where I'd go there specifically to break up with him, and he'd get going on the topic, and I'd feel bad, and never get around to the truth. Sure, I was worried my mother, or you guys would KILL me for hurting Bryan, but it was his... guilt that truly held me captive."

"I don't know what to say."

Bradly shrugged. "In the early days, it was easy, I liked him well enough, and I figured I could get behind this idea. I knew I still wanted Lydia, but I was stupid. I, not only neglected her, I fucking insulted her to the point she dumped me again. I lost out to Darguni, and I thought it was Darguni's fault. Then Lydia bitch slapped me into next Tuesday, and our relationship picked up. Bryan... Bryan got desperately clingy. I was getting worried about going to his house. However, he got obsessed with that statue." Bradly shifted uncomfortably.

"It was a relief honestly, I could break away. However, Lydia was pregnant and... the relationship kind of fell again. I tried, believe me I tried... but Bryan finished his stupid statue, and Lydia had her babies, and was having an awful time with Dargek's leg... So, she and I had nothing for a bit, but he had ramped up again, and I was barely ever able to escape back home. I spent more nights with him than I care to mention. His... actions got more perverse, more terrifying, and yet I couldn't fight anything he did to me. I started hiding at home, get off from work, climb in bed and hope it was a bad nightmare. 

When Lydia and I started connecting again, Bryan... Bryan apparently fucking lost it. I guess you know from there." He shook his head. "The one thing I've ever known for sure... was how much he loved and respected you guys. It... HURT him that he was never successful in the guard, and I think he was so busy chasing an ideal, that it just snapped his mind." 

Jerry buried his face in his hands, and tears streamed down Louis' face.

"I'm sorry; I didn't mean to hurt you." Bradly's voice was quiet as he sighed. 

"No. No, I'm glad you told us the truth." Jerry shook his head. 

"I think you guys made great parents, and there was just no way of knowing how it would turn out in the end." He shrugged. When Louis wrapped his arms around him, Bradly just blinked. 

Louis' voice was hoarse. "Thank you." 

"I'm sorry you lost your son." Bradly whispered. 

Lydia made her way upstairs and blinked at Tulani leaning against a crib. "Oh, Hello."

Tulani wiped her face. "I'm sorry."

"Oh, don't apologize." She stepped beside the other woman. "Come to see the babies?"

"Well, I..."

"Did you need them for measurements?"

"No." Tulani sighed. "I'm not sure you're aware..."

"Of?"

"When Darguni was born... Elunara was incapable of nursing him, so I did it."

Lydia blinked. "He never told me that."

Tulani smiled sadly. "You see, I think its common knowledge that slavers destroyed my body, so I would never be able to have children. But I so desperately loved them. I wanted one more than anything I ever have in this world and I... I..."

Lydia wrapped her arms around Tulani. "Tell me the rest." She whispered.

"When Elunara found out she was pregnant, she was hysterical. She wanted to destroy..." Tulani shook her head. "Grogek and I convinced her otherwise. When she had the baby, she was just so completely lost. I essentially raised him from the day he was born, until the day he came though that portal a changed child."

Lydia considered. "You are as much their grandmother as Elunara is." 

"I never thought I'd get to see grandchildren." 

"You know..." Lydia rubbed her cheek on Tulani's shoulder. "If you ever want to hold them or take care of them for a little while, I wouldn't mind. In fact... I don't understand children at all. Maybe you could teach me."

"I'd like that." Tulani hugged Lydia. 

"In fact, can you watch them now? Bradly needs me again."

Tulani blinked. "What?"

"I can feel emotions. I feel how sad you are, I feel how sad Jerry and Louis are... I can feel their guilt, and a few other things. It's very strange. I'll explain later. Bradly needs me now." Waving her hand, she ran down the stairs. 

Bradly had his face buried in his hands. Lydia launched herself on to the bed and wrapped her arms around his waist. "Oh, Gods, Lydia it was awful... to be faced with their guilt and their grief." He shook his head. "How do you stand it?"

"Like my whole body hurts." She whispered. "But, Momma is teaching me how to control and filter it."

"I need you." He whispered. 

"I'm here." She breathed. 

He tugged her face up to his, and crushed his mouth to hers. The power of his need drove him to take possession of her mouth, even as his hands slid down her body. She wrapped her arms around his neck and responded in kind, offering herself up to him. Yanking off her shirt, he went back for her mouth, as he tugged her skirt down. She scooted up into his lap so that he could free the garment. His hand found her wet center, and he groaned into her mouth as his fingers worked their way through the soft folds. He pressed her back against the pillows, shifting her body so that she was under him. He shoved his sleeping pants down his hips and on to the floor. 

Pressing his body to hers, he devoured her mouth, dancing lips, scraping teeth, and searching tongues. Little by little, he slipped himself into her waiting wetness, as his hands roamed her body, enjoying the soft flesh beneath his hardened hands. She gasped as he buried himself completely into her. Around his waist her legs went, as he pumped himself in and out of her wet center. Slow at first, he built up his speed, as his desire for her intensified. When she was practically screaming his name, he let himself go, triggering a deep shudder in her.

Her nails raked down his back and he jolted. "Ow, shit." 

"Oh, GODS! I'm so sorry! I forgot!"

"What?" He blinked.

She held up blood covered fingernails. "These stupid things are just too damned sharp." 

"Uh..."

Wrapping her arms around him, she concentrated with all of her might to heal the damage. 

"I'm a little confused." 

"These damned things are sharp. Like, even Elunara has no idea why they are as they are. But I can even cut Grogek's arms... pretty badly." 

"Freaky." 

"Ugh, tell me about it. I have to be extremely careful just to scratch an itch, or I slice myself open." 

"Hey, Darguni!"

"Yeah?" Meanwhile, Darguni worked in the yard.

"Where's your wife today?" Warren shoved his hair out of his face.

"Taking care of Bradly while he heals." 

"Ok, yeah, about that..." He scratched his neck. "Is there something going on there?"

"You mean Lydia and Bradly?"

"I don't mean to pry or nothing, we're just all kind of confused... And since I can't possibly get in any more trouble than I already am... they volunteered ME to ask."

Darguni laughed. "Yes, my brother and my wife are dating. I find nothing wrong with it. Hell, look at my mother..." He shrugged. 

"That's... a little weird." Warren considered. "Especially since YOU were the one fucking everything that moved and she... well, she was so frightened of everyone."

"Funny how that works." Darguni grinned. "But, she's never been frightened of us."

Bradly ran his tongue across Lydia's nipple, as she writhed beneath him. "Look how pretty you are." He murmured, as he slowly and patiently slid in and out of her wet center. His hand roamed her body. "How soft and delicate." With his teeth, he gently pulled on the nipple. Gasping, she arched up against him. "Sing for me, sweetheart." He whispered. Shivering and shaking, she bucked against him, as he just hung on for the ride.

Lydia gasped. "Between you and Darguni, it's a wonder I can ever walk on my own."

He grinned. "I take that as a complement." 

"Speaking of which, I need to go get the babies." Getting up, she headed for the stairs.

Lydia blinked and crossed her arms over her breasts. "I'm sorry, Tulani, I kind of forgot you were up here."

Tulani giggled. "I see that." She stood and handed over the whimpering infant. "I take it it is feeding time."

"Yes." Lydia blushed. She took Dargek and sat in the other rocking chair. 

"I'll keep Lily calm while you work." 

"Thank you." Lydia blushed and stared down at the baby.

"You needn't be concerned. The only woman I am interested in is Elunara."

"I know. I just... well... I'm not as open with my body as she is."

"Pfft, no one is." Tulani hummed while she rocked the little girl. "I've seen her walk down the street completely naked, and not flinch." 

"I was there one time when someone cut off Elunara's clothes in the ring... AND I found one of her hidden papers by accident." Lydia snorted. "I still can't drink a glass of water without seeing it."

Tulani giggled. "She certainly likes her little surprises."

"You know... I remember that fabulous dress you made for my concert." Lydia grinned. "In fact, I saved it... so when my daughter got old enough. I can't wait until Lily can wear it." 

"You honor me." Tulani smiled. "I had always wished I'd had a daughter... When I took on Gingy... Well, it was something else. " 

"Well..." Lydia stood up and held out Dargek. Tulani traded Lily for Dargek. "I did marry your son; I guess that makes me your daughter by proxy." She stooped down and put her hand on Tulani's leg. "I'm sorry I never knew that the connection ever existed."

Tulani leaned forward and kissed the top of Lydia's head. "It's alright."

"In fact... it's Darguni's fault." Lydia made a face. "He never told me about it." 

"Boys tend to not think of such things." Tulani shrugged. 

Lydia sat in the floor and began the process of nursing Lily. "I never wanted children. Not to the extent that Elunara did... but just... why would I want them? What was the benefit? I never could find one. Then... when my powers came to the surface, it became something I strongly desired. I couldn't imagine what you had to suffer through..."

"Please don't..." Tulani shivered. "Please don't. I don't think of it, and it bothers me when others do."

"I can feel pity like a slap to the face. I understand where you're coming from." 

"It must be tiring to feel everyone's emotions."

"Elunara helps me to train." Lydia shrugged and stood up. 

"Elunara helps all." Tulani smiled. 

She tucked Lily back in the bed. Turning, she held out her arms. "Sorry, Momma, Dargek needs his nap."

Tulani stood up and wrapped an arm around Lydia. "Thank you." She whispered. 

"You're my momma too." Lydia shivered. "Forgive me, but I'm kind of chilly." She laughed.

"Yes, of course." Tulani laughed and passed Dargek over. 

Once she tucked the infant back in the bed, Lydia turned to Tulani and put her hands on the other woman's arms. "We are both a part of this family, as strange as it is. You are Darguni's mother, so you are mine." 

Tulani brushed Lydia's hair out of her face. "That warms my heart, sweetie." She chuckled at Lydia's shiver. "Go get warm." She winked.

Lydia jogged downstairs. 

Bradly was sitting in the bed, back against the wall. "You took awhile."

"Was having a heart to heart with Tulani." Lydia climbed in the bed. "Now I'm freezing." 

"I can warm you up." He grinned. 

Sometime later, late at night, Darguni stuck his head in the door. "I need my wife back." 

Bradly looked up from the book he was reading. "I think I broke her, sorry." He grinned.

Darguni rolled his eyes and scooped the sleeping Lydia out of bed. "Mine." He showed his teeth. "You can have her back tomorrow."

"Hey... you think if we really get going, that you guys would move back down here?"

Darguni considered. "Might be a good idea." He cuddled his sleeping wife. "Maybe sooner rather than later." 

"I hope so. It's kind of lonely down here... especially considering." He murmured.

"I'll talk to Lydia tomorrow, see what she thinks." 

"Thanks." 

Lydia blinked up as Darguni laid her in bed. "Sorry."

"Don't apologize, Baby."

"Tired."

"I just want you with me tonight." He climbed in after her. "How is he doing?"

"Much better." She curled up under his arm. "I still think he's going to break down again."

"I trust your judgment." 

She propped up on her hands. "Why didn't you tell me Tulani was the one who nursed you?"

He blinked. Looking up at the ceiling, he considered. "She did, didn't she? Sorry, I kind of forgot. They don't mention it that often."

"I had a fascinating conversation with Tulani." She tucked back under his arm. "She is our children's grandmother as much as Elunara is." 

"Hm, this is true. I should do something for her." 

"Mm, I told her that I consider her my mother too. This seemed to cheer her significantly."

"That's good." He kissed the top of her head. "Hey, would you consider moving downstairs?"

"With Bradly?" She cocked her head. 

"Yeah." 

"As long as we still keep up here for times when we want things private... I don't mind." 

"Cool."

"Now, I'm exhausted." She snuggled up tight against him.

"I wonder why." He chuckled. 

"Ugh... between the two of you, I'll be raw forever."

"If you're raw, he's doing it wrong." Darguni snorted. 

"I think we stopped just short of raw." She wiggled. "But, eh. Sleeeeeeeep, please." 

"Alright, alright." He chuckled. Cuddling her in his arms, he kissed the top of her head. "Good night, baby."

"Good night, love of my life." She dropped off.



For The Whored: The Future: Ch. 35



Darguni adjusted the bed again. "That better?"

"I think so." Lydia walked back and forth. "Yeah, there's enough room on both sides."

"Good, tired of moving this thing."

"If you're that tired... go back to training." Bradly snorted.

"Says the bastard who has two weeks off."

"Well hope you're not spending it in bed. I need to get out of here." Lydia stretched. 

"Nah. I'm getting up. I kind of hate this bed by this point." 

"Good." Lydia considered. "Well, if we want the dresser in here, the bed should go over more."

Darguni groaned. "Let me go get the damned dresser and THEN you can figure this shit out." 

"You're late." Grogek growled.

"Blame Lydia. She wouldn't let me leave until I rearranged the bedroom five hundred fucking times." 

"So you've moved back in with Bradly?" He cocked an eyebrow. 

"Yeah, just makes sense at this point." 

Grogek shrugged. "Figure it out on your own." He whacked Darguni on the back of the head. "And DON'T BE LATE!"

At break, Darguni leaned against the platform. "Geez. You got me reamed."

"Sorry." Lydia sighed. "I didn't mean to." 

"Well, it's not--"

"DARGUNI!"

He blinked down at the tiny Night Elf hugging him. "Oh, hey... uhh... shoot, I forgot your name."

"Minuette."

"Yeah. How are ya?"

"Fabulous!" She snuggled up against him. "You do remember me, don't you?"

"Yeah..." He eyed her. "What do you want of me?"

She slipped her fingers down the edge of his pants. "I had ideas..."

He shoved her back. "Whoa. Ok, stopping you there."

"But!" 

"I'm married." He jerked his thumb back at Lydia. "That's my wife."

"LYDIA? But... but... you... and you... and..." She slid down to the ground. "NO!!!!" Yanking her hair, she wailed. "That's not FAIR!"

"HEY! I've TOLD you about that fucking word!" Elunara jerked a finger in Minuette's face.

"But I waited, and waited, and WAITED, and I can't have him because he married his SISTER?"

"Minuette, you're completely fucking annoying. Even if I wasn't married, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't fuck you. I don't even LIKE you." 

"But how else am I going to get giant orc dick?" She wailed, as everyone turned to watch the spectacle. 

Darguni smacked his face. "Mother has cast molds..."

"NOT THE SAME!" 

"The hell is going on over here?" Jordan cocked his head to the side. "Oh, it's you."

"Why does everyone treat me like this?" Minuette crossed her arms.

"I repeat... you're completely fucking annoying." 

She grabbed the top of his pants. "Just one time! Please! I'll do anything!" 

"Stop it. No." 

"UGH! I can't have Grogek; I waited for you to be old enough, WHY CAN'T I HAVE MY WAY?" She yanked at his pants, ripping them open. He popped out, and she reached for him. 

"THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?" He yanked his pants out of her grasp and smacked her hand. "Now I have to go change, you useless twit!" 

"PLEASE!" She grabbed his pants again. "JUST ONCE!" 

Darguni grabbed her by the ear and yanked her to his face. "I'll be COMPLETELY CLEAR! HANDS OFF OF MY DICK!"

Whimpering, she struggled in his grasp. "Then I'll use my mouth!"

He flung her to the side. "NO!" 

"You big bully." She rubbed her sore ear. "You should learn how to properly handle elf ears."

"My mother is a night elf, you dumb shit. I know more than enough about the ears." Tugging his pants closed, he growled at her. "Now that I've flashed half of the yard, I'm going to get some damned pants." 

Elunara reached out and yanked Minuette by her ear. "What did I tell you about an unwilling party?"

"To leave them alone."

"Exactly. Leave my son the fuck alone. Humiliating him in front of the yard was not the way to get what you want." She dropped Minuette. 

Minuette grabbed on to the edge of the platform and hauled herself up. "Please let me fuck your husband!"

"You are disturbingly stupid." Lydia blinked. 

Sometime later, Minuette sat and rocked back and forth. Ok, she let her desperation and disappointment get the best of her. It was that emotional problem that got her kicked out of Elunara's training. Of course, it was that desperation that had gotten one of Elunara's elaborate set ups. There was one thing in this world she wanted more than anything, and that was to get one of the two orcs to fuck her. After a scant second of consideration, she decided that it would be divine to get both orcs to fuck her at the same time. She was smart and she was resourceful. If Elunara could arrange any damned thing she wanted... well, Minuette could do it too.

Elunara stood in Mathias' office. "Whatcha need?"

"I've decided to go into at least partial retirement."

She choked. "You..."

He grinned. "I'm getting old, Elunara. I am well aware that you're unfamiliar with the feeling." He stood up. "However, I'm reaching a point in where I just can't do this anymore. I want you to take over. I will, of course, remain available in any capacity you may need of me, especially advice. But, I just want to spend time with my daughter and grandchildren."

"Even with..."

"Even with your emotional explosion over Bryan. I think that, once you see things in the capacity as leader of the SI:7, those errant emotions will be a little more grounded." He put a hand on her shoulder. "It's time, Elunara."

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Once she let it go, she opened her eyes and put her hand on her hip. "Well, I damned well do it all anyway." She grinned.

"Damn, you're on to me." He grinned back at her. "Come, let's go make an announcement." 

Varian sat down hard in his chair. "Are you certain?"

Mathias nodded. 

Varian sighed. "I respect your decision, old friend."

"Old is correct." Mathias laughed. 

Varian eyed Elunara. "It will be a little strange, having the leader of the SI:7 as my wife."

"Like I do anything normal." She snorted. Tapping a finger to her chin, she considered. "Imagine the role play possibilities." 

Mathias sighed. "I did NOT need to hear that." 

Bradly sat on the edge of the platform, leaning against Lydia. "You know that chick is going to be a royal pain in the ass, right?"

"I remember Darguni hiding from her." 

"She used to ask fifty bajillion questions about Grogek. I remember mom being pissed she assaulted him, and then she turned around and hit on Darguni."

"Someone is stupid enough to assault Grogek?" Lydia blinked.

"I remember that." Susan laughed. "She apparently broke into the house and got naked, waiting for him to be naked... He was livid." She cocked her head to the side. "I think "disturbingly stupid" fits her quite accurately." 

Darguni marched down to the yard. Tugging Lydia forward, he gave a soft growl as he went for her mouth. Lydia wrapped her arms around his neck and purred. He softly licked her lips. "You're the only one I want." He murmured. 

"I have no idea how that managed to work out," Lydia gasped. "But I like it." 

Chuckling, he tucked her back on to the platform. "I want my kids for a minute."

"Both at once?"

He plucked the nearest one off the platform. "One at a time is fine." He cuddled the little girl. "Hi, Lily." Kissing her forehead, he grinned. "You'll always be so tiny." He blinked at her. "Please tell me that was a real giggle."

"That it was." Susan grinned. 

"Hold on, here's Dargek, before you turn to complete mush." Lydia laughed. 

Trading babies, Darguni laughed. "And what about you?" He held Dargek above his head. "My big, strong one." Dargek laughed and kicked his legs. He put a tiny hand on Darguni's face. Darguni cuddled the baby in his arms. "My son." He whispered. After tucking Dargek back on the platform, he brushed a kiss on Lydia. "Now, I must go bust some heads." He winked.

"Gods, that was adorable." Lydia giggled. 

"That it was."

Lydia grinned and leaned over. Kissing the top of Grogek's head, she put her hands on his shoulders. "Getting emotional, grandfather?" 

Grogek pat Lydia's hand. "That I am." Shifting his stance, he grinned up at her. "Speaking of which..."

Lydia handed down Dargek. "Yes."

Later, Lydia giggled. "Yes, the baby pile is fun." 

Susan kissed her cheek. "Told you." 

"Though, it still feels weird being out here." 

"Well, with your ability to read emotions..."

"Yeah. I find it rather hilarious, how many men are all turned on when we nurse the babies." Lydia giggled.

"Oh, geez."

"Though... you see that girl over there? The one with the dark curls pulled up in a bun?"

"That's Tabitha." 

"Right. She's jealous. Not like a dangerous jealous like Tara is, but this mild... kind of confused sort of jealousy." 

Susan nodded. "That would follow. She has a crush on Grogek. She's already gone to him about it."

"Oh!" Lydia considered. "But, she's jealous of both of us."

"Also fits, because she claims she had a crush on Darguni because she couldn't have Grogek."

"Oh... Hm." 

"Maybe you can help Elunara keep a tab on Tabby. She's watching to see if Tabitha escalates." 

"Mostly, she's just really confused about it." Lydia tucked the babies into the stroller. 

"DARRRRRGUUUNIIII!" 

Lydia groaned. "And then there's THAT one."

Darguni sighed. "Minuette, just go the fuck away."

"What do you get from her?"

"Trying to read THAT girl's emotion makes me want to throw the heck up. They're everywhere." 

Minuette wrapped her arms around Darguni's. "I think we got off to a bad start."

He raised his arm and frowned at the clinger. "Yeah, ten damned years ago." 

"Yes, yes, I know. Instead of bothering you about your parents, I should have been trying to learn all I could about you!" She fluttered her lashes. 

"Too little, too late." He plucked her off of his arm and tossed her off the yard. 

"Please! Let me try again!" 

"There is no "again"." Darguni wrapped his arms around Lydia. "I have what I want, and you aren't it." 

"But, you said come back in ten years! I waited ten years to the DAY! You OWE ME!"

"Number one, I was being sarcastic. Number two, I don't owe you SHIT!" Gently, he pushed Lydia. "Start walking." He murmured. "Head to our spot, I'll join you when I ditch her." 

It took a little effort, but Lydia managed to get the stroller up the hill by herself. Singing softly, she got the pair tucked on their blankets in the soft grass. Softly, she rubbed Dargek's back. Singing, she channeled her energy like Elunara had shown her. It got easier each time she did it. Curling her body around the both of them, she sung to her children. 

Darguni followed the sound. Grinning, he stood over Lydia. She was sound asleep, but she was still singing. He sat down on the opposite side of his children. Reaching over, he rubbed a hand on Lydia's side. 

"Hm?" She blinked up at him.

"Hello, Baby."

"Did you ditch the tick?"

He chuckled. "Tick is right." He shuddered. "Thankfully, she never found this spot." 

"Good." She stretched. "I guess I'm more tired than I thought."

"You were singing in your sleep." He grinned. 

She blushed. "Oh." Scooting around the babies, she curled up in his arms. "Well, I was getting them to sleep." 

"You always sing like a graced angel." He cuddled her. "Even when asleep."

"Oh, stop." She blushed. 

"It's the truth." He brushed his lips over hers. 

Darguni frowned and looked over his shoulder. "Something's going on out front. Stay with the babies."

"But..."

"Just stay." Jumping up, he ran along the wall.

"I SURRENDER!" A male blood elf held his hands up. "I SURRENDER TO ELUNARA!"

Darguni jumped off the wall. "Who are you?" 

"Grogek? You don't look like Grogek..."

"I'm his son. I repeat, who are you?"

"I'm Zar. I'm Zelinnia's brother. I need to speak with her."

"Zar... Wait, I remember you." He waved his hand. "Stand down, this Blood Elf is vouched for by Queen Elunara." 

"Come on, I'll escort you to Aunt Zel."

"Aunt?" Zar blinked. "Oh, right, they call each other sister." 

Zelinnia blinked at Zar. "What are you doing here?"

"Sis, I've come to tell you that dad has died. Magic poisoning."

Zelinnia closed her eyes and sighed. "Come in." She flopped on the couch. "I haven't seen him in years, and he never responded to my letters. I want to be sad, but I can't find it in me."

Zar stepped inside. "Yeah, it was awful." He sighed. "I needed to come tell you right away. There's something else..."

"Blurt it and go."

"Mom wants to defect and move here."

She blinked repeatedly. "Really?"

"She said to tell you, that she's now all alone. With me out as an adventurer, and dad gone, she has no one there. She apparently made some nasty enemies when she took your side. Some are already calling her traitor. We both sort of hoped that you would allow her to defect and pave her way with whoever it took to do so." 

"I..."

"Sis, I'm afraid for her. I... I don't think dad died on his own. He had control over the craving. I KNOW he did. But..."

"I'll do it."

Zar let out the breath he was holding. "Thank you." He sighed. "I've been debating switching myself, but I don't know. I just know it's not friendly in Silvermoon anymore." 

Zelinnia pounded on Elunara's door. 

The door was yanked open. "Excuse me, missy. You know better."

"I have a family emergency."

Elunara leaned against the door, completely naked. "You've got five seconds."

"I think someone is trying to kill my mother."

"Fine, you win." Elunara closed the door.

"Geez, she just doesn't care." Zar blinked. 

"Hell, you've fucked her." Zelinnia snorted.

Elunara came out, dressed. "Sorry, we'll reschedule." She smiled at the soldier. 

"Just let me know." He nodded at Zelinnia and eyed Zar, before heading out.

"Now what do you need out of me?"

A few days later, Elunara stood at the gates of Stormwind. The guards had orders to stand down and wait. If Zar and Zerinia came as instructed, they did nothing. If they didn't... the guards were well armed. After a moment, a pair of hawk striders ran up the pathway. At the gate, both Blood Elves dismounted. The pair walked forward and kneeled at Elunara's feet.

"We pledge our loyalty and honor for the good of the Alliance. We reject the Horde and seek asylum." They said in unison.

"Citizens of Stormwind!" Elunara called. "Today I accept into our Alliance, a pair of Blood Elves. They are relations of our beloved Blood Elf, Zelinnia, and have pledge their loyalty to us in a show of humility and grace. I welcome them home to us, as should you." She gave them a quick wink and lowered her voice. "If you'll follow me." 

"Gracious." Zerinia put a hand to her chest. "That was... interesting."

"As Queen, and the new leader of the SI:7, it was a required bit of pomp and circumstance. I hope you understand." 

"I don't care." Zar shrugged. "As long as my mother is safe here."

"Believe me; no one likes to piss me off."

"ELUNARA!"

"Eeeexcept for Minuette." Elunara smacked her forehead. 

"Who?"

Minuette wrapped her arms around Elunara's waist. "Can I borrow...?" She trailed off and stared at the Blood elf pair. Jolting back, she pulled a dagger. "Horde? Here?"

Elunara yanked Minuette's ear. 

"Hey! Ow!" 

"Just checking to see if it's attached, because you OBVIOUSLY didn't hear my little speech. They've defected to me."

"Oh."

"How come you're so small? Are you a kid?" Zar cocked his head to the side.

"I'm in my fourties." Minuette growled.

"She gets that a lot." Elunara snorted. "Now, what are you after?"

"Some of your toys."

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because I don't trust you as far as Zar can throw you." Elunara shoved Minuette out of the way. "Now excuse me while I do my duty and show these two to their new home." 

The next day, Minuette sat at the edge of the training yard and pouted. Nothing was working.

"You're the one after Darguni, aren't you?"

Minuette looked up at the human girl. "Grogek AND Darguni. I just have to figure out how..."

The girl gave a soft laugh. "I had Darguni once..." She looked out at the man. "But he chose his SISTER over me. Now, he refuses all of us."

"Us?"

"Before Darguni settled on Lydia... he had sex with any woman who winked at him."

"Wait, WHAT?" 

"Yeah. You missed him by a year. He would have given you a shot, if you'd giggled and winked."

"That's not fair!" Minuette hissed. "He told me ten years. I WAITED the ten years!"

"Should have fudged at nine." She shrugged. "Here."

Minuette took the little bag. "What is it?"

"Don't open it until you're alone. It's Darguni's dick. A metal one. He gave it to me, and now... I give a copy of it to anyone who wants a taste of him." She gave Minuette a feral smile. "Wait until SHE finds out." The girl turned and walked away.



For The Whored: The Future: Ch. 36



Elunara winced. "Bleh, I feel weird today." 

Susan grinned. "The goddess is ill? Must be the plague and we're all going to die." 

"Ha, ha. Smartass." Elunara tugged Susan's ponytail. "Though, that's a valid point. I'm never ill. My self-healing is too powerful." She rubbed her belly. 

"Well, the baby puddle is asleep. Finally." Susan sighed. 

"Alright, maybe I just need to focus my energy on whatever it is." Putting her hands on her icky stomach, Elunara began to probe her body with energy. She froze. Checking again, she began to shake. She checked, and she checked, and went over her body with her energy. "FUUUUCCCCKKKK!!!!" She screamed. 

All three children began to cry. "Elunara!" Susan gasped. 

"INA!!!!!" Elunara jumped and ran. 

Jordan and Grogek looked at each other, before immediately running after Elunara. 

Susan groaned, as she tried to soothe the children.

Ina ran her hands over Elunara's body. "Nope. I agree with you."

"Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck."

Ina sighed. "I can't say that I disagree with your attitude."

Jordan, Grogek and Varian made it to the healer's building at the same time. "I heard her screaming all the way in the Keep. What's wrong?"

"We don't even know." Jordan shook his head.

"Love, whatever is the matter?" Grogek frowned. 

Elunara looked up, tears in her eyes. "I'm pregnant." She whimpered.

"YOU'RE WHAT??!!" All three bellowed at the same time. 

"HEY!" Ina jabbed her finger up. "There are sleeping patients in here."

"It grew back. It grew back. It grew back." She rocked back and forth, arms wrapped around her body. 

Varian stepped forward and knelt down. "How does that even happen?"

"FUCK THIS GODDESS SHIT!" Elunara bolted up and shoved past the other two men. 

"We got to stop her." Jordan took off running. 

The three of them found her in the house, face down on the couch. "I hate my body." She grumbled. 

Bradly and Darguni came in shortly after. "We were told that momma was running around screaming obscenities."

"Might as well get the women folk in here too." Elunara sighed. 

Grogek knocked on Tulani's door. "You're needed." 

"I'll go get Lydia. Bradly, go help Susan." Darguni headed out of the door.

Once the entire family was gathered in the living area, Elunara rolled over on her back and stared at her demon skull. "I'm pregnant." She ignored the gasps. "Apparently, my body decided to return me to my original state. I don't know how or why, but my current theory is that every time I used my healing abilities more of it came back. This is the weirdest damned thing ever."

"That's an understatement." Jordan gave a nervous chuckle.

"Momma... does that mean you're going to... destroy yourself again?" Darguni fiddled with his fingers. 

"Well, I..." She shook her head. "No." A large portion of tension went out of the room. She sat up. "Baby, the reason I tore myself apart, wasn't because of you. It was because of Lorros. While I never wanted children in the beginning, I wasn't as upset over being pregnant again, as I was over the thought of it being Lorros'. I didn't give him permission to invade me in such a way. Now..." She put her hands on her belly. "Now, there's only three people this one could belong to, and I love them. I'm not so mad."

"Really?" Jordan cocked his head to the side. "How do you know?"

"I know what my practices are," She rolled her eyes. "But, quite frankly, I haven't had a strange dick in me in almost two years. I reserve that for special events." She smirked. "So, yeah only three men, and they're all standing here." 

Varian blinked. "I'm actually pretty honored." He murmured. 

"You better be." She snorted. 

"So, whose is it?" Lydia fidgeted. 

"No idea. Not big enough to tell." Elunara concentrated. "Nope. I can only tell that I am, and not much beyond that."

"This is a lot to take in." Susan had a hand to her forehead. 

Elunara snorted. "Any other person announcing a pregnancy..."

"Momma?"

"Yes, Lulu?"

"Um..." She fidgeted

"Sweetest, family policy... blurt it."

"If it's Uncle Varian's, does that make her a real princess?"

"Sweetest, YOU are a real princess."

"Yes, you are." Varian nodded. "Your mother is queen, so you are a princess, regardless of parentage."

"Damn." Lulu clamped a hand on her mouth. 

"Lulu..." Elunara warned. 

"I HATE the title." Lulu fidgeted. "People keep calling me "Princess Lulu" and I'm just so tired of it."

Varian laughed. "I think that's the only proof anyone needs that you are your mother's daughter." 

"Can I be denounced?" 

"Not a chance." Varian grinned. 

Grogek licked his lips. "I am torn between, I suddenly have a massive amount of children, and... I hope it's mine."

"Nuh, uh, big guy." Jordan clapped his hand on Grogek's shoulder. "It's MY turn."

"Now, wait just a minute." Varian turned around. 

"Oh geez, I hate you all." Elunara smacked a hand to her forehead. 

Tulani giggled. "I guess I should start on some maternity dresses..." She paused. "Could... you fix me?"

Everyone turned to look at Tulani. 

"Sweetness, I don't even know how I fixed ME. I could try. If that is your fondest wish, I would try... but I can't guarantee anything."

Tulani nodded. "I might consider it. Though, I guess I'd have to find a male first..."

"You could borrow one of mine." Elunara winked. 

"I'd do it." Everyone turned to look at Jordan. "What? Tulani is technically the only other woman I can maintain an erection with, and she does ME so many favors..."

Lulu slapped her hands over her ears. "I'M NOT HEARING THIS!" She ran upstairs and closed herself in her room. Tina followed shortly after.

Tulani smiled. "I would consider that." 

"Some days, I am tempted to come down here and figure out what goes on in this crazy house."

"Orgies." Lydia snorted. "Orgies every damned where." Everyone turned and blinked at Lydia. "WHAT? It's true. You've got the three of us, the five of them... I mean, the eight never cross, because... ew, but you know it's going on." 

Varian shook his head. "Never mind." He turned back to Elunara. "You tell me anything you need and you shall have it."

"So, nothing new?" She grinned.

"Of course." He winked.

She sighed. "Alright, everyone is free to go. I'm not a full two months, we have time to figure this shit out. Now, I must go break the news to everyone else and prepare to have my ears screamed out."

Elunara wasn't exaggerating, in that everyone she had told so far had gone into screaming hysterics. She saved the worst for last and held her breath as she knocked on Chrissy's door. 

Chrissy blinked at Elunara. "Something wrong?"

"Can I come in?"

"Yeah, sure." She stepped back. "I was just making lunch. Hungry?"

"Chrissy..." Elunara winced.

She dropped her dishtowel. "Something's happened to Gerald..." She whispered in horror.

"NO!" Elunara held up her hands. "No, I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you feel like that."

"Then what's wrong?"

"I'm pregnant."

"You're... ok, that's not funny." Chrissy rolled her eyes. 

"No, I'm serious. I swear on my family, I really am." 

"Yeah right, you don't even have the parts."

"They grew back." She grumbled, as she flopped down in a chair. "The fucking things grew back."

"You're serious." Chrissy sat down in the chair opposite. "That's... mind blowing."

"You're telling me." Elunara snorted. "I'm sorry." 

"Whatever for?"

"I know how much you wanted a baby..."

"But, you gave me a baby. You gave me the best baby I could have ever had. Yeah, it feels a little unfair that you cut yours out and it grew back... but I wouldn't replace my William for any baby in the world. In fact, I decided years ago, that if you had another to give me, I'd probably take it, but I was happy not having my own. All of the love, none of the pain." Chrissy chuckled. "No, I'm good with it."

Elunara wrapped her arms around Chrissy. "I was so worried..."

"Don't worry about me... worry about your newest family member. Dear GODS woman, how many people live in your HOUSE?"

"Fifteen, and this will make sixteen." She rolled her eyes. "It's a madhouse." 

Elunara made her way down to the docks. 

"Where ya goin?"

"To tell my mother I'm pregnant."

Jerry blinked repeatedly. "You know, if you don't want to tell me... that's fine, but you don't have to be a smartass about it."

"I'm actually completely serious." She sighed. "The damned thing grew back, and now I'm knocked up."

"Not the weirdest thing that's happened with you." Jerry managed. 

"That... is weird in and of itself." Elunara laughed. 

"You..." Tyrande blinked. "Can't be serious."

Elunara tossed her hands up. "AM I known for these kinds of pranks? Because Elune only knows where the hell this is going."

"No, I don't." Whispered across the room. 

Elunara blinked. "Would you STOP that?"

"Stop what?" Tyrande blinked.

"Sorry, Elune likes to whisper in my ear occasionally."

"Ah." 

"In any event, everyone seems to think I'm joking, and this is NOT the kind of thing I'd joke about." She crossed her arms.

"Well, you ARE a goddess. I guess, eventually, your body would return to its original state."

"I guess."

"It's a little weird, isn't it?" Lydia leaned back against Darguni's chest. They sat together on their private hillside. "Your mom being pregnant... after all that's been done?"

"Yeah, but "weird is the best kind" has been the family motto since before I was born."

"Too true." 

"Weird is telling the king of Stormwind that we all have orgies." Darguni chuckled.

"I still can't believe I said that." She pinched her eyes shut. "And on the topic of weird, did you know that Tabitha is crushing on your dad?"

"She is?" Darguni blinked down at Lydia.

"Oh, yeah, she's got the major hots for him. I can feel it."

Grogek made his way home. He had decided that he wanted to have lunch with his gentle wife, since Elunara was in Darnassus, and the rest of the family were off on their own thing. A sound caught his attention and he summoned his axe, swinging up just as a sword blade came down. 

"You should have NEVER been allowed to live as long as you have." Thomas spat on the ground. "My FATHER was up for that promotion in Draenor and YOU took it instead, just by being there. Not to mention all the other misery your worthless little family has heaped on MINE!" 

Grogek blocked the next few shots. "Your rage is meaningless to me." He went on the attack. 

"You forget ORC; I've watched you for years! I know all of your tricks." He landed a lucky blow on Grogek's axe hand and the axe skittered backwards on the ground. Thomas pressed his advantage and dug the end of his sword into Grogek's thigh.

Tabitha continued on the path. She had lost her ever loving mind, but she HAD to do this.

Grogek scrambled, desperate to reach his axe. His held his broken hand against his chest as he crawled backwards.

"You stupid, worthless ORC!" Tommy raised his sword. 

"NO!" Tabitha screamed. Diving in the way, she gasped in pain as the sword sliced through her body.

"TABITHA!" Grogek cried. 

"Another worthless whore." Tommy yanked at his sword, but couldn't pull free. 

Grogek had the sword by the blade. Blood dripped from his hand, but he snapped the blade with a blow from his fist. Reaching back, he snagged his axe and cleaved it into Tommy's forehead. Satisfied with Tommy's death, he turned his attention to the bleeding woman. "Tabitha..." 

"All I wanted..." She coughed. "Was to tell you..."

"Tabitha... your injuries..." He brushed his fingers on the woman's cheek. "And Elunara is in Darnassus."

"I... know." Tabitha gasped. "I was..." She struggled to breathe. "I love you." She whispered. "I just wanted... to kiss you once..." Closing her eyes, Tabitha struggled to stay alive. "To know... what it was like..." Her eyes shot open. Once again, she closed her eyes and lost herself in the sensation.

When he felt the life leave her, he broke the contact. Sighing, he held her in his arms and waited. 

"General Grogek?!"

Grogek looked up at the soldier. "Can you please get High General Jordan? I need his help."

"Uh, yeah, sure." The man bolted.

Grogek sighed. "Poor girl..." 

"FATHER!" Darguni ran over. 

"Get me to Ina." Grogek reached up. 

Darguni took his arm and wrapped it around his shoulders. He helped Grogek to stand.

Jordan ran up. "The hell happened here?"

"Tommy." Grogek pointed. "He's dead, but so is Tabitha. Can you take care of her body? She died trying to save me." He sighed. 

"Yes... Of course." Jordan sighed and lifted the body.

"Man, Lydia was just telling me about her." Darguni sighed. "She sensed that Tabitha was in love with you."

"Shame, really." Grogek frowned. "I hadn't figured out what to do with her. But, I'll see her buried with full honors."

Elunara ran her hands on the body. "I'm sorry, Sugarbear, she's too far gone. Her spirit has already passed to the nether."

"Damn." He frowned and ran a hand down the lifeless woman's hair. "Such promise, wasted. Looks like I need to modify my training." He turned and left.

"This has hit him awful hard." Susan murmured. 

"He's blaming himself." Elunara shook her head. "Let's hope he doesn't go overboard."



For The Whored: The Future: Ch. 37



Varian sat up in bed, just watching Elunara sleep. Reaching out, he threaded his fingers through that long, purple hair. 

"Mm, whazat?" She mumbled. 

"Nothing really."

Rubbing her cheek on his hip, she smiled up at him. "You know my honesty policy, my darling."

"I was sitting here wondering what it would be like... to have you in just MY bed every night."

"Oh, Varian..."

"There's this small, petty side of me that wishes I could make you stay here. However, that would mean you would change who you are, just to suit me... and that thought makes me ill. I could never change you, because I married you for you."

She sat up and leaned against him. "What brought this on?"

He put a hand to her belly. "Hoping this one is mine." 

"Ah." Chuckling, she licked his shoulder. "And if it is?" 

"I would be endlessly thrilled... to have another chance..."

"I know how you feel." She whispered. 

"You do?" He blinked.

"After Lulu, and how much I bonded with her... I did start to regret my inability to produce another. When I had Darguni, I was still largely locked to emotions. Even worse, after my trip to Darnassus, I lost four freaking years of my child's life. While you lost more time with your son than I did... there's always been this underlying guilt that I could not give him as much love in his infancy that I was able to give Lulu. I fell in love with her in an instant... I had to learn love with my own son. Tulani nursed my baby, and while I do not begrudge her, I begrudge myself, just that tiny amount." She sighed and ran her hands over her still flat belly. "I know how you feel." 

Varian tugged her into his lap. "That's all I needed to hear." He whispered, before capturing her mouth. 

Days later, Elunara sat on the platform between Susan and Lydia. She held her hands over her belly and concentrated.

"What are you doing?" Lydia was nursing Dargek.

"Beyond my usual medical checks I'm exploring the process, so speak. It's so much stranger when it's your own body. This whole thing is weird. Like, how did I grow it back?"

"And what will you do now that it is back?" Susan grinned. 

"That's a topic I've yet to explore." Elunara considered. "I'll stay with the immediate interest for now." 

"Grogek!" Susan waved an arm. 

He frowned and made his way over. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing... just watch." Susan gave Tilly a little push. 

Tilly took a shaky step forward, still holding on to Susan's thumb. She reached a chubby hand out towards Grogek.

"Come on." He whispered. "Come on." A little louder.

Tilly let go of Susan's thumb and stood there on her own, just blinking.

"Come on! Come to daddy!" He held out his hands "Come, my baby, come to me!"

Tilly wobbled but held her hands out. With a giggle, she began to take wobbly steps forward. He wanted to reach out and scoop her up, but knew the way for her to learn was to continue on. She stumbled, hands hitting the top of the platform. Instinct of protection warred with desire to teach. Instead, he watched as she pushed herself up again and continued on her path. At the end of the platform, she fell on to him and he scooped her up. 

"My little girl!" He hugged her tightly. "You did so admirably." 

Susan giggled. "Drop the formality; she doesn't know what you just said." 

"That's my girl!" Grogek tossed the child lightly into the air. 

Tilly responded with shrieking giggles. "DAH-IE!" She shrieked, as she clung to him. 

"Yes!" Grogek laughed. "Yes, I AM your daddy!"

The entire yard erupted into cheers and applause. 

Shaking his head, Renwa blinked at the early morning light, just peeking through the window. Gentle as a whisper, he kissed the back of Zelinnia's neck. She groaned softly and pressed up tighter against him. Grinning, he moved his hand under the covers, and tugged the edge of her nightgown up. If it hadn't been chilly the night before, he wouldn't have had to worry about it. As it was, he kind of liked the thing. 

His fingers brushed those soft hairs, and she shifted and groaned. Still his fingers roamed through those hairs and to the soft lips below. Lifting up on his hands, he tugged her over. Her hands spread out beside her head, and her hair spilled over the pillow. He was already horny, but this scene just made him rock solid. A slight adjustment, and he buried himself into her. 

She jolted up, grabbing wildly at his arms.

"Good morning." He grinned, pumping himself in and out of her dripping center.

"You!" She gasped. "Oh, don't stop!" She groaned, as she pressed her head back into the pillow.

"Wasn't planning on it." Scooping his hips down, he slammed in and out of her, his balls smacking that beautiful ass. "You're always so tight," He groaned. "Mine, damn it." He growled, as she clamped around him, making him let go with her.

When he cuddled up on top of her, he gently pressed his mouth to hers. "Good morning, I said."

"That it is." She giggled. "Give me a chance to catch my breath and I'll show you..."

"GIVE IT BACK!" At Abigail's shrill cry, they both winced.

"Why did we agree to kids?" Renwa sighed. 

"I don't know, but I'm going to kill the both of them." Zelinnia scrambled to get out of bed. 

"I don't HAVE it!" Nara gestured.

"What are you two idiots arguing about now?" Zelinnia crossed her arms.

"He took my hairbrush!" Abigail gestured at Nara.

"I DID NOT!" He stomped a foot. "Why would I take your stupid hairbrush?"

"To annoy me!"

"Whatever. I don't have the damned thing."

"Which hairbrush?" Zelinnia sighed. "You have like five of them."

"The pretty one with the gems in it. The same one he's stolen before." Abigail put her fists on her hips.

"I WAS ELEVEN!" He ran a hand through his hair. "Will I never live that down?"

Renwa stepped out and put his hand on Nara's shoulder. "Be honest with me. Did you take the brush?"

"No, dad. I swear to everything, I haven't touched the stupid thing in like, four years."

Renwa nodded. "I believe him. You must have lost it."

"You ALWAYS take HIS side!" Abigail growled and stomped past. "Not like I matter or anything."

"Abigail!" Zelinnia hissed.

"You know it's true!" Abigail fled upstairs.

"ABIGAIL!" Gasping, Zelinnia headed up, but Renwa put his hand on her shoulder.

"Don't worry about it."

"But she had no right..."

"No, think on it, and you'll realize how it looks to her." He shook his head. "Just... let it go for now." 

"But..."

"I have work." He turned and left.

"Momma..." Nara whispered. "I didn't take it, I swear."

"I know." Zelinnia raked her fingers through her hair. "I know you'd never lie to your father's face." 

Zelinnia stomped all the way down to the training yard. "Where is Elunara?"

Susan blinked up. "Up at the keep. She'll be back in a little while."

Zelinnia flopped down on the platform. "I'll wait."

"What's the matter, sweetie?" Susan put her hand on Zelinnia's arm. "You look like you've been crying."

"My daughter just said the meanest thing to my husband..."

Lydia bolted across the training yard and grabbed Darguni by the arm. "Come! Come, you have to come see!"

"What?" He blinked down at her. "What's wrong?"

"You HAVE to see!"

"Is it the babies?"

"The babies are fine, but you have to come SEE!"

Grogek snorted. "Just go see, before she pees herself or something." He eyed Lydia. "But we're going to have a lovely little discussion about coming on an active yard."

Darguni chased after Lydia. "What is WRONG?"

"Absolutely nothing!" She giggled. 

"If you dragged me out just to fuck you..."

"No! No, wait! Watch!" She pushed the door open. Dargek and Lily were sitting on a blanket in the middle of the floor. Lily was chomping on a wooden wolf, and Dargek was happily smashing blocks into the floor. 

"Yeah, I've seen them sit..."

"No! Watch!" She sat down at the door. "Come here!" She clapped her hands.

Lilly looked over for a moment, before going back to her toy. Dargek dropped both blocks and promptly began to crawl over. He was shaky, and a little wobbly, but determination won out, as he crawled on all fours. He stopped and whimpered a bit.

"By the Gods." Darguni whispered in awe. 

"Look at him go!" She laid on her belly and smacked her hands to the floor. "Come on, come on, you can do it!" 

Dargek continued on his path, making his way over with a giggle. 

Darguni reached down and scooped him up. "My baby can crawl!" He gasped.

"See?" She jumped up and put her hand on his leg, healing the pain like she'd been shown. "It hurts him so much to do, but he just ignores it. I only knew he hurt when I put my hands on him. It's like he's adapting to the pain."

"That's my boy." Darguni hugged him tightly. "Oh, Gods, I have to tell dad."

"Sorry, I didn't want to spoil the surprise." Lydia giggled. 

"What about Lily?"

"She has no interest." Lydia giggled. "Oh, it's so amazing. I can feel so much coming from them. That's sort of why I kept to home today. I wanted to eliminate everyone else and just focus on the feelings I'm getting from them. Dargek is determined, Lily is patient, like she has all the time in the world."

"That's amazing." 

"So when I tossed his toy away from him, he was so determined to get it, that he taught himself to move."

"I... I have to..."

Lydia plucked Dargek out of Darguni's arms. "Go tell your father." She grinned.

He bolted. 

Grogek's eyebrow shot up at Darguni. "Seriously?"

"No, it wasn't that." He grinned. Putting a hand on his father's shoulder, he grinned like a lunatic. "Dargek crawled."

Grogek's eyes went wide. "Really?" He breathed.

"Not just a little bit. He went across the living room. Lydia says that he's in a lot of pain to do it, but he doesn't care. If he wants something, he ignores the pain and goes for it."

With a hand over his mouth, Grogek fought the tears. "Then he is a TRUE orc." He grinned.

"That's MY boy." Darguni winked.

"YOU HEAR THAT?" Grogek roared. "MY INFANT GRANDSON IS STRONGER THAN THE LOT OF YOU." With a wicked grin, Grogek turned back to Darguni. "Take the day." He winked.

"Damned straight." Darguni turned and ran.

On a different day, weeks later, Elunara sat on the platform, channeling her energy off and on.

"Whatever are you doing?" Susan watched with interest. 

"She's probing."

Elunara blinked at Lydia. "You can see what I'm doing?"

"No. I can feel your intent."

"Ah. Well, it's definitely a girl. I get that much." Elunara waved a hand. 

Grogek made his way over. "Yes?"

"I need to borrow you." She put her hand on his head and began concentrating. After a moment, she shook her head. "Nope. You're not the father."

"Hm. I'm only a little disappointed."

Elunara snorted. "Because you currently have four birth children?"

He flashed a grin. "Exactly. I have my son from you, and that's all I need to make me happy." 

"Good, not sure I can handle another behemoth in my belly." She snorted. "Where's Jordan?"

"Something about paperwork."

"Ah."

"Can I try?" Everyone looked up at Varian. 

"Heard me, did you?" Elunara grinned.

"I was almost to you when you called him over. I just didn't want to intrude."

"Pfft, like you ever do." She stood up and put her hand on his cheek. "Skin to skin contact works best." Closing her eyes she began again, following that thin line of energy. When it connected, she knew the truth. "And we have a winner." She whispered. 

He put his hand on hers. "Really?"

"I wouldn't lie about such things."

"You tend to not lie in the first place." He tugged her face to his, capturing her mouth. 

A whisper shot across the training yard, as those close by understood the news. Soon the entire yard was cheering and clapping, before going down on one knee. All around them, soldiers and commoners alike, began to bow before news of their King and Queen's confirmed pregnancy. 

"Oh, geez." She sighed. "I hate when they do this."

"Then let's leave them to it." He grabbed her wrist and started running for the Keep. 

Giggling, she passed him and tugged at his hand. "You challenging a night elf to a race?" 

"Wouldn't dream of it!" He laughed. 

A little while later, they lay curled up in bed, naked and sated. 

"You have no idea how happy you've made me." He buried his face in her neck.

Running her tongue over her teeth, she laughed. "I think I do."

Sighing, he sat up. "I don't want to have to tell Anduin... but I have to."

"If he hasn't already figured it out by the way we ran past him."

Varian winced. "I probably should have told him then."

"No. Because you were giddy happy and unreasonable with it. A kid like Anduin you have to approach with reason and a cool head."

"You realize he's almost thirty, right?"

"He will forever and always be your kid in my eyes. I can't see him as older than fifteen."

"That's... actually comforting in a way."

She shrugged. "It is what it is."

Putting his feet on the floor, he sighed. "I better get it over with."

She wrapped her arms around his neck and put her cheek to his. "Don't treat it as a death sentence, or it'll just be that much worse." 

"It is what it is." He repeated. 

Varian took a deep breath before stepping into the room with Anduin. "I need to speak with you, alone." He gestured to the office room.

Anduin nodded. "This is about the baby, isn't it? It will be yours?"

"Yes. Yes, she will be." 

"I don't need the privacy." 

"You..."

"Father, I've already taken the time to come to terms with it. As soon as I heard that she was... I began to make assumption that it was going to be yours. So, I figured out my heart on the matter, just as SHE taught me to."

"I..."

"Father, I want to be mad, I really do. I was to be viciously jealous, sincerely, so. However, I'm rather relieved."

"Re... Wait, what?" Varian just blinked.

"You finally have a true heir that will take over when you pass."

Varian continued to stare at Anduin.

"You see, I've struggled for the longest time to come to terms with being the heir of Stormwind. I rather hate the idea and would prefer to turn it down and continue with my priest training. Oh, I know you consider Elunara's other children to be your own, but there was no blood child to pass the throne to. I am well aware of the Night Elf longevity and that Elunara will sit as queen for as long as the throne interests her. Which, I well know that it has NEVER actually interested her. So, who would sit? Me? By the light, I hope to hell not. Her? Not bloody likely. No, you NEEDED an heir, and I just had no idea how to tell you.

I'm so relieved that I can finally say "Father, I do not want the crown." There I said it. How wonderful is that?" He raked his fingers through his hair. "No, I hope with all of my being that I never have to sit in that chair after you have left it. It's too heavy a burden to deal with. I hope this child has an interest in her future role, because I'll help her along as much as she needs it."

Varian sat down in said throne. "I'll be damned."

Graymane smiled. "Your son is very wise. Cherish that."

"Believe me, old friend, I do."

"Oh good, I was hoping I could avoid explaining to my little girl, why her brother freaks out when she is near." Elunara winked.

"Hm, finally getting that sibling I fantasized about... and it's a silly little sister." Anduin laughed. 

Elunara kissed Anduin's cheek. "You're a good boy." 

Anduin blushed. "Well, you're a good step mother." 

"I am ordering the biggest, most extravagant nursery set up..." Varian dove for his paperwork. "Toppa! Find me a planner!"

"Of course! At once, sir!"



For The Whored: The Future: Ch. 38



"It's the weirdest thing. I can't find that hand mirror anywhere." Chrissy tapped a hand to her cheek. "It was my mother's. I wouldn't have left the house with it."

Zelinnia tossed her hands up. "We never did find that stupid hairbrush." 

Elunara and her female friends and family sat around the massive table at Tippy's. "More obnoxious, I've had two of my best runners disappear off the face of the earth." She snorted and fed Tilly, while Susan was busy nursing Grogash. 

Jenny tapped her fingers on the table. "Well, I can't find that porcelain bunny you gave me all those years ago. It's sat in that same exact spot for nearly twelve years. Whoever took it left a dust ring and everything."

"That's bizarre." Elunara looked up. "Tippy, anything missing for you?"

"Not a thing." She shrugged, filling Susan's glass. 

"I'm missing my favorite knife." Enalla popped up. "I put it in the same drawer in the same place, but now it's gone." She sat a plate on the table. 

"Sounds like we got a klepto." Elunara tapped on the table. "Anyone have any visitors around the time these things disappeared?"

There was a collective shaking of the heads. "No."

"Ugh, what's SHE doing here?" Lydia sighed, as she watched Tara saunter up to the counter as if she owned the place.

"Probably eating." Elunara rolled her eyes. "You can't tell her where she can and cannot go."

"You could." Lydia muttered, nursing Dargek.

"I'm not going to take your side in your grudges. You know this. You've handled her plenty; leave it alone unless she starts."

Lydia tucked Dargek back in the stroller, and picked up Lily. She could feel the moment Tara turned attention on her, and was curious. "Well, today she is less hate, and more...cocky? Yeah, cocky like she has a secret on me. What a weird feeling."

"I am forever amazed by your ability to pinpoint emotions like that." Susan blinked at Lydia. 

"You and me both." Lydia laughed. "Oh! Speaking of... she's annoyed right now." Lydia lowered her voice. "I think she expected me to be upset by her smirk." She giggled wildly. "This is really fun."

Elunara kissed Lydia's temple. "Good. That's how it should be."

Later that night, Lydia lay on the bed, while Darguni worked the kinks out of her back. "And she just has this look on her face, as if she has this big secret on me. When I gave her a bored look, she got annoyed."

"Maybe she thinks that you don't know about the metal dick?"

"Maybe..."

"Metal dick?" Bradly blinked up from his book. 

"I had momma make a cast mold of my dick."

"Oh, I heard about that. Why would Tara have it?"

"Long story." Darguni snorted. "What are you reading?"

"I'm going back over some of Momma's wilder escapades. I skimmed these previously, now that we... have an arrangement..." He shrugged and went back to it.

Lydia and Darguni grinned at each other. "Well, I know one arrangement that works..." 

Darguni slid off of her back, yanked off his pants, and laid on the bed. Sliding out of bed, she put her bare ass towards Bradly, as she licked the length of Darguni. When she wiggled her butt, Darguni grinned. "I think someone likes it." His hand sipped under her and his fingers brushed through the damp hairs. "Yes, you do." He pressed a finger up. "So, fucking, wet." He groaned.

Bradly stared in amazement as his dick jumped. He scrambled off of the bed, and shoved his pants to the floor. Walking over, he laid his hands on Lydia's ass.

"Well?" She winked back, before sliding her lips over the tip of Darguni's dick. 

Once Darguni moved his hand, Bradly repeated the process and groaned. "Gods, you are." 

"Fuck me." Lydia groaned. 

"With pleasure." An adjustment and he buried himself into that tight, dripping, center.

Darguni threaded his fingers through Lydia's hair. "Yes, Baby." He groaned, as she began to move her head up and down, taking in the length of him. "Just like that, my beauty." He watched her lips move up and down his dick.

Bradly began to rock himself in and out of that wet heat, his hand moving down to pull her leg up and back, so that he could hold her knee as he slammed in and out of her. 

Back and forth she rocked, desperate to hold on to the bed sheets and Darguni's legs. Moving down, she tugged one of his balls into her mouth and sucked. The sensation made Darguni shoot for air, as he let go of himself. When she clamped down around him, Bradly let go.

She brushed her hair out of her face. "that was unexpect--" 

Darguni yanked her forward and devoured her mouth. "Do that more often, will ya?" He chuckled. 

Bradly stroked a hand over his own dick. "I'm still hard." 

"There's more to do." Lydia grinned. 

"Have you guys done anal yet?" Bradly blushed."You guys have been disappearing upstairs for privacy... I don't know what all you've done."

"Mm, I quite enjoy it." Lydia wiggled her butt. 

"Damn, that's impressive." Bradly laughed. He shook his head. "Can we try something I was just reading about?"

"I'm up for it." Lydia winked. 

"I'm almost up for it." Darguni stroked himself.

Bending down, she ran her tongue up and down the length of him. "How do you want us?" She stroked the dick up and down. 

"Well, Darguni stays where he is... Lydia, you climb on top of him..."

"Like this?" She demonstrated. 

"Yeah..." Bradly grabbed her hips. "Completely on your husband there..." He licked his lips. "Then I climb in between his legs, and I put myself..." Pressing into Lydia's ass, he groaned. "Oh, Gods." 

Darguni gasped. "Oh, yeah, I see where this is going." He wrapped his hands around Lydia's hips and began to push her up and down on his dick, groaning at the sensation against her tightened walls. 

Slowly, Bradly began to shove himself in and out. "Just like that." He groaned. Quicker now, he increased his pace, shifting and pumping. Together they began to find their rhythm, taking her together as their balls smacked against her and each other. His face flush, he let himself go into the tight confines, as Darguni filled his side.

As she shuddered, she clamped down around them and cried out from the force of it. As Bradly tugged free, she giggled. "Just as amazing as Elunara said it would be!" She flopped down against Darguni.

"That was so weird." Darguni laughed. 

"But fantastic." Bradly snorted. "Even if we did.... That."

"Can't avoid it, really. If we do that often." Darguni shrugged. "It's all in mother's papers."

"Yeah, even dad said it was something he had to get used to."

Days later, Lulu held her book to her chest and sighed. Walking home, she didn't have the mood to enjoy the walk.

"LULU! HEY!" She stopped and watched William run to catch up. "Hey, want to walk home together?"

"Of course." She sighed.

He fell into step with her. "What's the matter?"

"It's nothing."

"You know you can tell me... You and I are linked." He took her hand. 

"Well, I didn't want to be rude... but I really dislike Mr. Masters."

"He's a bit gruff, but I can't say he's awful." William sighed and dropped her hand. "Why? He's not THAT tough to deal with."

"It's the way he insists on calling me "Princess Lulu" in that snotty way of his. Like he's offended by the prospect of something as foul as ME being a princess." 

"Aw, Lulu. He's just set in his way." He took her hand again. "Don't let it bother you." He kissed the back of her hand in that way he'd seen men do. 

"I tried to get Varian to denounce me, and he said no." She pouted, however briefly. "I just wish he'd stop making it so... KNOWN."

William put his hands behind his head. "Don't worry about it Lu." 

"If you say so." She sighed. "Maybe I can make Momma command him."

He laughed. "Since when does your mother decide things on whim? She'd probably laugh."

"I know she would." Lulu snorted. "It's her way. One of the family rules about not letting other people's thoughts affect your life." 

"How does your momma's future baby affect it?"

"None, from what I hear." She sighed and wrapped her arms around her book. "While the new one will be the true heir, the rest of the family would be in consideration as well. However, since Momma is either immortal or just long lived, she'll be Queen until she gives the title over to someone else." 

"Fascinating."

"Doesn't matter to me." "She sighed. "I have the title by being her child."

"I'm sorry." 

"Aren't you a prince?" She eyed him.

He blushed. "Uh, no. Since Father is Elunara's declared brother, I'm technically a Duke." 

"Ah." 

"Just like Zelinnia or Jenny's children are Dukes and Duchesses."

"Hm." She tapped her fingers. "Maybe I should talk to Abigail, see what she thinks of Mr. Masters." With a sigh, she tapped her fingers on the cover of her book. "Then again, Abigail is considered a rare talent, all the teachers marvel over her."

"Aw, don't be jealous, Lulu. I know you're disappointed about not having any holy talent, but you have special skill in both Mage and Warlock abilities."

"I don't WANT warlock skill. I've seen how my dad twitches when it's mentioned..."

He frowned. "Yeah, I guess that would put you off of your homework." He brushed her hair back from her face."You'd be the prettiest Warlock there was, if you went for it."

"And what about mage?" She snorted. "Abigail would beat me there..."

"Never." He whispered. Leaning in, he made to kiss her.

Not noticing his intent, she turned her head. "Hey, is that your dad?"

William winced. "What?"

"Over there?" She pointed. "What a small night elf. I wonder who it could be."

"For the LAST time, Minuette, I'm not helping you. Even if I felt like it, I have nothing to give you that would help you on this ridiculous quest." 

"Hi, dad." William raised a hand. "What's going on?"

"Absolutely nothing." He shoved Minuette away. "This twit was just leaving." 

"FINE!" Minuette crossed her arms. "BE that... who is this?" She blinked at the pair. 

"My SON. He's thirteen, keep your filthy hands off of him." Gerald growled. 

"Aw, dad..."

Gerald held up a hand. "I care not for your protests. Minuette was banished from Stormwind by Elunara. None of us are interested in seeing her back here again. You try to pull the same shit on my son that you did on Darguni and I will slit your fucking throat." 

"What is WRONG with this stupid city? All I want is a set of orc dicks, and NOBODY will give me what I want!"

Gerald smacked his face. "LEAVE!"

"I'm going, I'm going!" She threw her hands in the air and marched off.

"What in the world?" William blinked.

"You and I need to have a talk." Gerald grabbed William by the shoulder. "A man talk. You," He pointed at Lulu, "can go get the other end of the conversation from your mother." before dragging William into the house.

"Aw, man." William muttered.

Still confused, Lulu headed down to the training yard. "Where's momma?" 

"At the house." Lydia pointed. "She was finishing up a couple of commissions."

"Thank you." Lulu curtsied.

"You don't have to do that." Lydia giggled. "We're family."

"Sorry." Lulu blushed. "It's part of daily training. It comes naturally to me."

"My training involved getting the crap beat out of me, and attempting to beat the crap out of someone else." Lydia wrinkled her nose. "I didn't like it."

"Mine's not much better." Lulu snorted. "Forgive me, I need momma." She jogged off, only to be met with Nara. 

"Hey, Lulu, what's going on?"

"I'm just trying to find momma."

"How about I walk you home?" He grinned. 

"That's fine. Get anything special for your birthday?" She smiled.

"You remembered!"

"Well, yes. I have something for you when we get home. I'm so scatter brained lately..." She sighed.

"Hey, that's fine with me." He flashed a smile. "Has to be tough, going to two trainings everyday."

"Three." She rolled her eyes. "Mage, Warlock, and princess training."

"How is THAT going?"

"Awful. All of them are awful." She sighed. "I don't want to be a warlock, but momma says I have to try it, the teachers are all snobs in mage courses, and I'm not a damned princess!" 

"Whoa, whoa, calm down." He held his hands up with a laugh. "It can't be all bad, or you'd just quit. Your momma would never make you do something you hated."

She sighed. "Yeah, I know." Lightly, she knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

Lulu pushed the door open. "Wait here." She jogged upstairs.

"Um, hey, Aunt Elunara." Nara grinned.

"Happy birthday, kiddo. Big sixteen?"

"Yes, ma'am."

"When you get some time, come down, I'll do your portrait."

"Sweet." He ran his fingers through his hair. "I love the one you did of us as babies... Maybe someday..." He looked up the stairs and watched Lulu move. "You'll... do one of... ours..." He trailed off.

Lulu smiled down at him from the stairs. "Here it is!" She handed him the small box with a bow. 

Yanking open the wrapping and ribbons, he blinked down at the broach in the box. "Hey!" He grinned and pulled it out. 

"I saw you staring at it the other day, I hope you like it."

"I love it." He breathed. Leaning forward, he made to kiss her.

Oblivious, she turned to Elunara, who struggled to bury the giggle. "Hey, Momma?"

"Yes, Sweetest?"

"There was a very short night elf harassing Uncle Gerald. He then grabbed William and said they were going to have a "man talk" and that I should speak to you about the rest."

Nara turned brilliant red. "I should go!" He bailed out of the house, Elunara's laugh following him down the way.

Two weeks later, Nara stormed out of his bedroom. "GIVE IT BACK!" 

"What?" Abigail blinked at her brother. "Give what back?"

"The broach that Lulu gave me. I want it back NOW!"

"I don't have your stupid broach!"

"Oh, I bet you do."

"What are you two idiots fighting about NOW?" Zelinnia had her hands on her hips. 

"She took the broach that Lulu gave me! She's still pissed over that stupid hairbrush; OF course she'd take the thing I care about the most."

Zelinnia's eyebrow shot up. "Give him back his broach."

"I don't HAVE the stupid thing. Maybe he LOST it, like he LOST my hairbrush!"

"I never had your stupid hair brush."

Renwa stepped between them. Putting a hand on Abigail's shoulder, he looked her in the eye. "Did you take his broach?"

She yanked out of his grasp. "Wouldn't matter, you never believe a word I say!" 

"Abigail!" He reached out.

"LEAVE ME ALONE!" She slammed her bedroom door and locked it behind her. Flopping on the bed, she began to cry.

Renwa stared at the bedroom door and struggled to maintain his composure. 

"Nara, go on to training." Zelinnia whispered.

"I want my broach back." Nara growled.

"I said NOW!" She shoved him. 

Hurt and confused, Nara disappeared out of the door.

Zelinnia wrapped her arms around her husband. "Johnathan..."

"I don't..." His voice hitched. "I..." Burying his face into Zelinnia's shoulder, he let out a shuddering sigh. "I don't know how to fix this." He whimpered. 

"No." She murmured. "But I know someone who might."

Zelinnia paced back and forth, while Elunara drew her animated poses. "And, ever since the barracks incident, Abigail is convinced her father hates her."

"It can be hard to overcome that kind of hurt." Elunara said quietly.

"Yes, but I don't want it to take thirty years." She ran her fingers through her hair. "No offense."

"None taken. Renwa needs to take time off from work, and just spend it with Abigail. Finding things SHE likes, and just simply taking the time to talk. If Renwa never SAYS "I'm sorry" then the relationship will never repair."

"But, he has apologized..." Flopping down, she sighed. "I can't get them in the same room lately without a fight."

"It's more of an understanding than the actual fight. Let me handle the logistics." 

"You I can trust." Zelinnia curled up against Elunara. 

Elunara wrapped an arm around Zelinnia and kissed the top of her head. "Besides, let me tell you about Lulu giving Nara the broach."

Bradly sat under the tree by portal lake, just reading. 

"Bradly?"

He looked up at the girl. "Oh, hey Norma." 

"You remembered!" She clapped her hands together.

"Of course." He smiled. "How was Duskwood?"

"Gloomy. I decided to move back as soon as I could... Can I sit?"

"Yeah, sure." He closed up his book. 

"No need to stop on my account." She leaned against him.

"It... It's one of my mother's books." He blushed. 

"So, some strange rumors have made it south..."

"Like?"

"Well, that..." She blushed. "You gave up on Lydia and she married your brother."

"She did marry my brother." He nodded. "But I haven't given up. We're dating."

"But..."

"It's complicated, but we're all taking after our parents." He laughed. 

"Oh." With a sigh, her shoulders drooped and she leaned back against the tree. 

"Well, you don't have to sound so disappointed." 

"Forgive me." 

"Hey, Bradly." Lydia waved her arm. "Who's your friend?" 

"Remember Norma?" 

"Oh, yeah! One of the few females our age that didn't hate me." Lydia smiled.

"No reason to." Norma shrugged, as she eyed Lydia. She could see why Bradly was so obsessed. "I guess I should be going." She blushed. 

"Don't get up on my account. I was going to ask Bradly if he wanted to walk with us," She gestured at the stroller. "but I see he's busy."

"Headed to the amphitheater?"

"After a sunny walk." 

"Sure, I'll join you." He stood up. "You can follow, Norma. Lydia is amazing when she sings."

"Uh, yeah. Sure." With a sigh, Norma followed the pair. 

"TINA?" Lulu put her hand on the banister. "Did you take the bracelet Nara gave me for my birthday?"

"No." Tina shook her head. "I always ask before I borrow something, and I never would have borrowed that. You like it too much."

"Darn it, I can't find it and I was going to wear it today." 

"No, sorry. Ask Momma." She considered a moment. "Have you seen my scarf? The pink one that momma gave me."

"No, sorry. I don't really like scarves. I keep losing them." 

Lulu fidgeted all the way down to the training yard. 

Nara spotted her and jogged over. "Hey, come to watch me train?" He winked.

"Um, no. I... well, I lost the bracelet you gave me." Tears filled her eyes. "I looked everywhere."

"Hey, hey, don't worry." He ran his hands over her arms. "I kinda... I kinda lost the broach you gave me." He winced. "I thought Abby took it at first, but now I'm not so sure. Everyone seems to have something important missing. Grodan just told me that he can't find his favorite belt, and his little sister Mary is missing her favorite unicorn toy."

"Is someone stealing our things?" Lulu blinked.

"I'm starting to wonder." He raked his fingers through his hair. 

"But, for what purpose?"

"Who knows" He shrugged. Putting his finger under her chin, he turned her face to his. "Thank you for worrying." He kissed the tears on her cheek. 

"HEY! Hands off of my little girl!" Jordan growled. 

Lulu blinked up at her father's angry face. "Oh, Daddy. It was perfectly innocent." She sighed.

"Don't care; you're not old enough for him to be kissing you!"

"He meant nothing by it." She rolled her eyes.

Nara winced at her statement. 

"Don't care." Jordan shoved them apart. 

"We were just discussing the rash of missing objects. My favorite bracelet has gone missing, as well as Tina's scarf." 

"Favorite." Nara whispered to himself.

"Don't you have somewhere to be?" Jordan glared at Nara.

"Yes sir!" Nara saluted and jogged back to his regimen. 

Zelinnia marched down to the training yard. "Alright, now this is getting ridiculous! Someone had the gall to steal the portrait of me and Tulani holding the babies!"

Elunara blinked. "You're shitting me."

"They actually left the frame and glass still hanging there!"




For The Whored: The Future: Ch. 38



"I already had a couple of agents on it, but I think I'll pull in a few of reserve trackers. This is completely silly."

Several days later, Norma found Bradly under his tree. Adjusting her corset and "the girls", she made her way over. "Hi, Bradly!"

He looked up from his book. "Hey... Norma." He blinked at the outfit. "Can you breathe in that thing?"

"This ol' thing?" She laughed nervously. "It's perfectly comfy."

"If you say so. Come, take a load off." He patted the grass. 

Thrilled, she plopped down beside him, only to wince as one of the ribs of the corset gouged her painfully.

"Are you sure you're alright?" He peered at him. 

"Peachy keen!" She struggled to ignore the pain, as she smiled at him. 

"Sure." He closed his book. "How's Stormwind treating ya?"

"Haven't quite found my place yet. But it's alright."

"Where are you staying?"

"Tippy's."

"Ah. Good choice." He considered. "If you need career help, you should speak to my mother. She helps people out a lot with it."

"I might." She blushed. 

"Well, there's Lydia. I'll see you later, Norma." He waved at her. 

Norma frowned as she watched the pair. 

"Well she's interesting." Lydia tapped a finger to her chin. 

"What? Why?"

"She's radiating lust at you."

"Oh!" He blushed. "Is that what's going on?"

"Noticed it?"

"Let's just say, she's making her boobs pop out into my face."

"I saw that." She grinned. "Watch it, you have an admirer."

"I think I'll keep to my one for now." He kissed her temple. 

"It's always up to you. I don't mind if you date extra, you know that. Just don't chase her because you feel like it'll make me happy, because I rather don't care."

"Yeah, I know." He slid his hand across her ass. "How about we put the babies in bed, and I make love to you until we've got nothing left to give?" He grinned.

"You're on." She winked. 

Lulu sighed to herself as she flipped through her books. Tonight's mage homework was to freeze a glass of water. It was a simple enough spell, but frost magic wasn't really her thing. Fire was easy work, and arcane a close second, but it was her warlock training that she excelled at. She could already summon an imp minion and control it easily, but she always dismissed the little monster after class. If she was to have a pet, one the newest cubs of Yoona and Savage was what she wanted. Perhaps she could talk her mother into letting her have one.

"PRINCESS LULU!"

She closed her eyes with a wince. When the boy jogged up, she did her best to smile. "It's just Lulu, Mitch."

"Nonsense, princess." He gave her a courtly bow. "How are you, this fine day?"

"I'm alright, just heading home."

"I'll walk you."

"Oh, please don't."

"Nonsense." He smiled. "Have you considered my offer?"

"I already told you no." She frowned.

"But, I have a basket made and everything." 

"No." She said firmly. "In fact, it's my turn to stay with the babies, excuse me." She picked up her pace.

"Shouldn't you have maids for that?" He fell in step with her.

"We don't believe in maids in our family."

"Nonsense. A princess should not have to do common chores."

"I'm not a princess." She growled.

"Nonsense."

"Ugh, don't you know any other words?" She smacked her forehead. "I'm running late." She took off running, heading straight for home on the off chance he followed her. Once inside, she slammed the door and sat in the floor.

Lydia stuck her head out of the baby's room. "Something wrong, Lulu?"

"What part of "NO!", don't boys get?"

"The part where they don't get what they want." Lydia snorted. "Who's bothering you sweetie?"

"Everyone who calls me "princess" instead of my damned name." Lulu snorted.

"I would have loved the princess title." Lydia sighed wistfully.

"You have it."

"Yeah, but no one uses it. When I was a kid, they called me "deformed" because I had twisted legs. Now, they call me beautiful because of my stage presence. Funny how that works."

"For YOU maybe. I just want it to die." Lulu stood up and brushed herself off. "I was so desperate to get away; I volunteered myself for baby duty."

"Feel free to watch them. They're both asleep and... Well, Bradly and I..." Lydia flushed. "Well, we need quiet time."

Lulu giggled. "Momma gave me a basic explanation. I'll keep the babies from bothering you."

"Thanks." Lydia disappeared.

"Down for the count?" Bradly grinned at Lydia as she descended the stairs. 

"Yep, and Lulu has offered to watch them if they interrupt." 



For The Whored: The Future: Ch. 39



Elunara walked into the room and spun around. "Varian!" She gasped. 

"I spared no expense. Hell, I ordered four consultants to bring me the works." He grinned.

"This is far more than I ever had for any of my children."

"I even have an army of nurses and nannies on hand."

"You might as well fire them all right now." She shook her head. "I don't believe in maids, and I'll certainly be raising our child personally."

"I didn't mean to offend."

Shaking her head, she kissed his cheek. "No, you never will. It's just the truth of my existence."

"Anything for you." He breathed, as he laid his hands on her still small belly. "Perhaps we should name her..." He hesitated. "If it's alright."

"Well, being who I am, I can guarantee her survival, so yes, a name is alright." She laid her hands over his. "Why don't you name her?

"Really?"

"Please."

"Then... may I name her Emaline?" 

"Emaline it is."

"Oh, I wish I could feel her." He sighed.

"Maybe you can." Closing her eyes, she focused her energy into Varian's hands. Pulling out the trail of energy, she connected the life energy of the baby to Varian's hands. 

"That... That's her?" He breathed. "I feel her tiny heartbeat!" He marveled. 

"Isn't it beautiful? She whispered. 

Kneeling, he placed his cheek against her belly. "Hello, my daughter." He murmured. "You may not know me now, but you WILL know me. This I swear." He blinked up at Elunara. "What is that I feel?"

"She's responding to your voice. She may not understand you, but your tone speaks to her."

---

"Hello, Bradly."

Sitting under the tree, he blinked up and just openly stared.

"How are you today?"

"Norma..."

"Who's Norma?" She giggled nervously. "My name is Evelyn."

With a sigh, he closed his book and stood up. "What did you do to yourself?" He held up a lock of freshly dyed hair. "You looked better as a brunette." 

"But..."

"Why are you trying so hard to look like Lydia?" Frowning he pulled out his knife and cut the laces on her corset. 

She gasped for air. "Oh!" She put a hand to her chest and tried to readjust her top. 

"Let them go." He said quietly. "You don't have to stuff them." Brushing his hand on her cheek, he sighed. "Norma, don't change yourself to impress me. It won't work."

"But..."

"No. If you don't stick to your true self, you'll never find happiness." He chuckled. "That sounds like something my mother would say. However, it's true. If you really want to impress me, then be Lydia's friend."

"What?" This new track floored her. 

"She has so few friends as it is, it would make me extremely happy if you'd just try to be her friend, and not some kind of side competition."

"I don't understand." She pouted. 

"It's been awhile since I've seen you. You should understand that my mother has three husbands and a wife, and one of her husbands has another wife. This only works because they're all friends. You should see them together, it's beautiful. If you want my attention, then you will be the friend of the woman I love. I freely admit that I just got out of a terrible relationship with someone who hated the people I love. I can't do that again."

"I... I didn't know..."

"Norma, be who YOU want to be, and be friends with my family, and then maybe we can figure something out, alright?"

Considering his words, she sighed. "Alright." She said quietly. "But, can I keep Evelyn? I HATE being called Norma."

"Only if it'll make you happy." He smiled. 

"I also kind of like being blonde." She fiddled with her hair.

"Alright." He laughed. 

The next day, she made her way down to the training yard. "Um, hello."

Both Lydia and Susan blinked up. "Hello." Lydia smiled. 

"C-can I sit down?" She fidgeted.

"Of course." Lydia made some room. "How have you been Norma?"

"I'd... I'd rather prefer if you'd call me Evelyn."

"Yeah, sure, ok. I can do that. How are you, Evelyn?"

"I... I like your babies!" She blurted.

"Um, thanks." Lydia ran a hand over one of the sleeping forms. "I don't think you're here about them."

"Bradly... Bradly told me..."

"I'm aware of what Bradly told you." Lydia smiled. 

"I'm sorry!" Evelyn began to shake. "I'm so sorry. I... when I heard that... when I heard that he'd given up on you, I thought it was my chance." Pressing her hands to her chest, she began to cry. "I've had such a huge crush on him for so long, and I thought..." She hiccupped. "I thought... I feel so foolish." Tears streamed down her face.

"Hey, hey, stop." Lydia wrapped her arms around the other woman. "No, don't do that." She brushed her cheek against Evelyn's hair. "I remember you from back then. You were that little chubby kid that everyone picked on when they weren't picking on me. You used to hide in the corners and do what anyone else made you. You were never cruel to me, you were just too afraid of everyone else." 

"I-I just didn't know what to do!"

"I can feel your misery. But I know what it was like too. Please don't be sad. I could never dislike you."

"You... You mean it?"

"I do."

"LYDIA!"

Evelyn yelped and tried to scoot behind Lydia.

"What now, Gingy?"

"Don't be like that. I need your approval on my design." She shoved her notebook down into Lydia's face.

Lydia took it with a sigh. "Gingy, what have I told you about matching hats?"

"It's JUST a sunbonnet..." Gingy rolled her eyes. "Who is your friend?" She eyed the cowering girl.

"Oh, this is Evelyn." Lydia waved her hand vaguely. "Fine. I'll approve of the sunbonnet, but no go on the hideous train."

Gingy dismissed the girl as unimportant. "Fine." She snatched her book back. "Always a critic."

Evelyn was shaking with fear by time Gingy marched off grumbling. "She... she..."

"Is, strangely, my friend. She doesn't act like it some days, but she really is."

"Ha... how...?" 

"I saved her life when we were kids." Lydia shrugged. "She's a headache to deal with, but I do consider her my friend."

"But she was so mean to you..."

"Yeah, well, shit happens." Lydia grinned. "Now she makes me clothes."

Evelyn's eyes tracked over to Bradly down in the yard. "I guess that's good..." She trailed off, as she just stared. He had a broadsword in each hand, currently fighting the man she'd remembered as Jordan. "He's so..."

"Delicious?" Lydia grinned. "Don't I know it?" She laughed.

"I can't believe you..." Evelyn blushed deeply. "Oh, I want to call it unfair." She put her hands to her cheeks. 

"Breathe, sweetie. Breathe." Susan rubbed her hand on Evelyn's back. "We do things differently in this family."

"Bradly told me I had to be friends with Lydia."

"You don't have to..." Lydia hesitated, trying to get a solid lock on Evelyn's ever changing moods. 

"Well, last night, I gave it serious thought." She bit her thumbnail. "And I realized that I have no friends. I don't know the first thing about having them."

Lydia put her hand on the girl's shoulder. "Then let us teach you." 

"Would you?" She breathed. "I desperately want to."

"That much I can tell." Lydia grinned. "Before you enter into this little friendship, you should know the truth about me and emotions."

Bradly planted his swords in the ground and gasped. "Damn, I thought I had you this time."

Jordan laughed. "Yeah, fight your mother for fifteen years, and come back."

"Bah. I might be too afraid of challenging her." He dismissed his sword and tossed the other onto the rack.

"Then you need more work. Maybe I'll let Grogek pound on you a time or two."

"How bad is it, that I'm more afraid of my mother, than the meanest bastard out here?"

"Me?" Jordan winked.

"Grogek." Bradly wiped his hair out of his face. "Maybe I will ask to be in the elite for a week or two, make myself grateful for my position."

"Can't argue that." Jordan pat Bradly on the back. "You've made massive improvements lately."

"Thanks, dad."

"I say that as High General. You're seriously coming around. Most of the others crack about twenty minutes faster than you do. You've far passed everyone else. Dual wielding two-handers with an ease that most still struggle with."

Bradly. "You mean it?"

"Do we lie or fluff in this family?"

Bradly grinned. "I know something I want to fluff." He looked around.

"Ugh, you are your mother's child." Jordan snorted. 

"Hey, dad."

"Yeah?"

"See that girl with Lydia."

"Yeah."

"She's been tying all week to get into my pants." Bradly grinned. "I told her that, if she wanted even half a chance, she had to make friends with Lydia."

"Oof, tough."

"Hey, if she's sincere, I figured it was the best possible test."

"Can't argue there. Let us know how that turns out... son of Elunara." Jordan whacked Bradly on the back of the head with a laugh.

William kicked a rock in his path. He hadn't seen Lulu in three days. Not since his dad's lecture on... that kind of stuff. His face went hot whenever he thought of it. Marriage and children and all that went with it. Eighteen was the age he needed to be, at the moment, five years felt like an eternity. Well, four and a half. Sighing again, he kicked the same rock. 

"Ow!" 

William winced. He'd kicked the rock hard enough to propel it at someone. "I'm so sor--."He openly stared at the boy holding a large sack over his shoulder. Though the other boy was bleeding, William still felt as if he was staring into a mirror of himself. A little older perhaps, but still just like him.

"Shit!" The boy turned and ran, clinging to a large sack. 

"You saw..."

"I swear, Dad. He looked JUST like me. I should know; I own a mirror!"

Gerald and Chrissy exchanged looks. "We need Elunara." They both said at once. 

Elunara tapped her pencil on her board. "I guess we know what happened to the babies." They stood in the keep.

"But, can you be certain?" Gerald frowned.

"I have no doubts. I bet you anything he was one of Michi's offspring. Jeana said that Michi was a proficient breeder. It stands to reason that they'd survive. If anything, these children will be heavily brainwashed, if not heavily magicked."

"But, why is he here?" William fidgeted.

"That's a damned good question. You said he had a bag?"

"Yeah."

"Five gold says he's our thief. No one would question him if he could pass for your twin." 

"But, for what purpose?" Varian frowned.

"That's the big question." 

"Grandma, it's so GOOD of you to finally be in Stormwind." Abigail fluttered her lashes at Zerinia.

Zelinnia giggled. "Beware, that's her buy me something face."

"Is not!" Abigail crossed her arms.

Zerinia chuckled. "Child, I don't have anything to give."

"I'm not after anything. I was hoping she'd do my hair in that fancy way she did last time."

"Is this over a boy?" Zerinia grinned. 

Abigail turned brilliant red. "No. There's a mage ball next week. I was hoping I could get a dress out of Tulani and have my hair done. Some of us are getting awards before the party."

"Wait, you didn't tell me THAT one." Zelinnia blinked.

Abigail bit her lip. "It's just a small one." 

"Abigail!"

"Oh, it was an accident! They shouldn't be giving me the stupid award at all. I accidentally turned my teacher into a sheep, and I'm getting an early starter achievement. I was TRYING to hit him with a snowball." She picked at her dress.

Zelinnia snorted. "Ok, that's kind of funny. But, why were you trying to hit him?"

"Because he's just so mean to poor Lulu. He's put her in tears a few times, humiliating her in front of the class. I was just going to hit him once..."

"Oh, Abigail." Zelinnia hugged her daughter. "That was sweet of you." 

Elunara blinked at Zelinnia on her porch. "Hey, Sugarbutt."

"Are you aware that one of Lulu's teachers keeps embarrassing her in front of the class?"

Elunara's eyes narrowed. "WHAT?"

"Yeah, according to Abigail, he likes to call on her in class, makes her stand, has her fail at some high level spell, and then insults and berates her to the class. Apparently it's a near daily thing. Abigail has felt awful, but she thought Lulu would have told you." 

"Which teacher?" She stormed into the house. "LULU?"

"Yes, momma?"

"Why didn't you tell me about Mr. Masters?"

Lulu flushed. "You said I couldn't stop being a princess."

"Wait, what?"

"If I wasn't a princess, he'd leave me alone. I asked if I could stop being a princess and you and Varian said no."

"He... He embarrasses you in front of the class because you're a PRINCESS?"

"He told me so himself. Said that if a princess lowered herself to mage training, she got what she deserved." 

Elunara stared at Lulu with her mouth hung open. "That's the dumbest thing I have ever heard." She shook her head. "The amount of problems with that sentence is more than I can handle." She turned and walked out. 

"Oh, don't take me out of mage training!" Lulu jogged after her mother. "Please, I want to stay with my friends."

"I'm not taking you out; I'm dealing with the fuck wit."

"You'll only make it worse!"

"Sweetheart, I fix problems, I don't complicate them." 

"But, Momma..."

Elunara swung around. "NO! No one deserves abuse, let alone you. I will protect what's mine, and I'll be fucking damned if some half wit fuck shit is going to abuse MY child. If he wants to hurt you because of something you can't even control, then he has to answer to the fucking QUEEN!"

Lulu winced as her mother stormed away.

"Lulu!"

She turned. "Oh, hello, William."

"Was that your mom?"

"My mother is about to make ribbons out of Mr. Masters." Lulu winced.

"Oh, finally told her?" He took her hand and kissed the back of it. "Good on you, maybe the jerk will get what he deserves." 

Elunara stormed into the base of the mage tower. Reaching out, she grabbed the nearest mage by the robes. "Where is Mr. Masters?"

"R-room 219! But, he's..." Elunara shoved the woman out of her way and continued on. "In a class." The mage finished.

Elunara shoved the door open. "YOU!" She pointed. "NOW!"

"Mrs. Wrynn, would you please get a hold of yourself?" He stood up. "I am in the middle of a class."

"What did you call me?" She blinked. 

"Mrs. Wrynn." He repeated. "Please, let me finish my class before you burst in." 

"Fine." She growled. Leaning against the wall with her arms crossed, she waited until the students filed out of the room before she went back in. She ignored the points and whispers and closed the door behind her. "I want to know why you've been making my daughter cry in front of the class."

"Is that what she said?" His eyebrows shot up.

"She never told me. A concerned classmate did and I had to ask my daughter to tell me the truth. Now answer the fucking question." She slammed her hands on the desk. 

He sighed and lifted his glasses, rubbing the bridge of his nose. "Because I was hoping to provoke a reaction."

"What?" For the second time, she stared at the gnome, completely dumbfounded.

"You see, I've sensed that Lulu has such HUGE potential for power, yet she refuses to step up and just DO it. I had hoped that I could provoke an angry reaction..." 

"Instead, she weeps." 

"I do dislike that. Abigail has a raw natural ability for control and can produce some amazing magic, but Lulu has this massive well of magic within her, and no ability to control. I can't seem to MAKE her give it to me."

"Because you're embarrassing her. She hides in shame, embarrassment, and fear."

"Fear?"

"You see... Lulu was the result of a succubus magic. Her powers manifested onto her brother, and now she is afraid of herself."

"I was not aware of this."

"None are. It's a closely guarded secret so that she can live free. My daughter is a sweet and shy girl. She HATES being a princess. She has asked Varian repeatedly to denounce her. It's not her fault that she is a princess, she wasn't even born to the title. She was two when I married Varian, and though he openly accepted her, it is Jordan who is her father." 

Masters tapped his fingers on the desk. "Perhaps I'm doing this wrong."

"PERHAPS?" Elunara shook her head. "You're driving her into a hole. She hates the idea of being a warlock, because her father cringes at the thought. She threw herself into mage training because it was her only choice. Lulu wanted so very badly to be a priestess."

"Then allow me to privately teach her. If public humiliation is not the way to pull the magical ability out, then private, controlled direction is."

"If, and ONLY if, you stop calling her "Princess"."

"Agreed." He eyed her for a moment. "I have dealt with irate parents before... but none so powerful."

"I HAVE TO WHAT?" Lulu shrieked.

"I think you'll find him a lot more tolerable." Elunara grinned. "And if he does ONE thing you don't agree with... if he so much as makes you sniffle, you come get me."

Lulu sighed. "Yes, momma."



For The Whored: The Future: Ch. 40



"Alright now, I think this is something we should deal with sooner rather than later." Lydia knocked on the door.

"Come in!" 

Lydia clamped her hand on Evelyn's wrist before pushing opening the door. "You have customers."

Gingy popped her head out from another room. "What?"

Tugging the struggling girl forward, Lydia planted herself in the main area. "I want to order my friend some outfits. Nothing fancy, just some walking around clothes."

"You're commissioning me?" Gingy blinked. 

"Duh."

"Goody!" Gingy grabbed her notebook off of the counter. "Tell me what you need."

"I think a couple of two piece sets and some basic dresses."

"Oh, I forgot your name already." Gingy blinked.

"Um, it's Evelyn?" The shaking girl blushed.

"I'll need measurements." Gingy yanked out a measuring tape.

"Doing better since Elunara designed your space?" Lydia laughed.

"I can find things!" Gingy clapped. "When I remember to return them to their spaces."

Lydia rolled her eyes. "Of course."

"Now, am I measuring clothed, or unclothed?"

"I think you should do it unclothed."

Evelyn turned scarlet. "What?!"

"She doesn't remember you." Lydia whispered. 

"Your clothes will fit better, dear." Gingy smiled. "Don't worry, I'll be gentle. I was taught how to measure by the best. Tulani showed me how to get all I need." 

"A-alright." Evelyn stammered.

Later, Evelyn put a hand over her heart. "What was the point of THAT?"

"To show you that Gingy isn't so bad now. She's a bit of a pain, but her heart is in the right place." Lydia shrugged. "She doesn't remember you at all. You weren't on her radar and you disappeared before she could form an opinion and stick it to you. Now... she'll remember you as my friend. Ever since that day I saved her, she changed. When Tulani took over as her mother, she blossomed. Don't judge this city by what you remember." Lydia took Evelyn's hand. "I don't have many friends myself, so perhaps we can help each other out." 

"Y-yes, I'd like that."

The following day, Lydia sat with Susan on the platform, the children asleep in their puddle of blankets. 

Gingy bounced her way over and sat down. "Where's your friend?"

"She's wandering around town, trying to figure out what to do with herself."

"Then you can approve my designs."

"Sure." Lydia took the book and flipped through. "Looks good." 

Gingy looked out at the training yard and sighed. 

"What's wrong?" Lydia passed the book back.

"Oh, nothing really." She fidgeted with the edge of the sketchbook. "All those warm, rippling bodies, and I can't have a one. Not like you, silly girl, you have two of them. Not only TWO of them, but the best looking two of the bunch." Gingy licked her lips.

Lydia giggled. "I'm tell ya, Gingy, you need to ask Elunara."

Gingy turned brilliant red. "Oh, I can't believe I told you that!" Scrambling up, she ran away. 

After a few moments, Warren made his way over and put his arms on the platform. "Who was that vision of a girl?"

"Gingy?" Lydia blinked.

"Gingy? Is that her name?" He sighed. "All those fluffy red curls... I wonder how they'd look... unbound." 

"Well, then."

Warren's eyes went wide. "Fuck, I cannot control my damned mouth."

"Her favorite flower is the Starflower."

"What?" He blinked up. 

"I can even give you her address if it would help." Lydia grinned.

"You mean it?" He bounced. "I mean, you certainly don't owe me any favors..."

"I'm doing it for Gingy." 

Gingy yanked open the door and stared down at the bundle of flowers. "What?"

"Lydia said they were your favorites." The man blushed.

"Did she put you up to this?" She propped her fist on her hip.

"No! Actually, I asked... did she set me up?" He frowned. "Because she seemed genuine..."

Taking the bundle of flowers, she sighed. "You know, Lydia isn't like that. After all I've done to her, she deserves revenge, but it's just not like her."

"I kind of deserve it too." He laughed.

"Oh? What did YOU do to her?"

"Well..."

"Come on in, we'll discuss it over tea." She shut the door after him.

Susan giggled as they pushed the strollers into the house. "I'd say you pulled an Elunara."

Elunara looked up from her board. "What now?"

"Look, that's not the first time that Gingy has expressed her desire for a man. It just so happens, that's the first one to have an interest in her." Lydia shrugged. "I couldn't pass up the opportunity."

Susan shook her head. "You are your mother's daughter."

"I take that as high praise." Lydia grinned, scooping one of the babies out of the stroller and heading up the stairs.

The next day, Elunara sat on the couch, working on her commissions, when Tulani walked into the room from her studio. "Hello, my lovely, you're looking stressed."

"I want you to fix me."

Elunara dropped her pencil. "What?"

"I have decided that I want you to fix me, so that I may finally have that baby I've always wanted..." Tulani held out her hands. "Those bastards broke me, and I was denied the one thing I've wanted for SO long."

"Sweetness, I can't guarantee..."

"Please, please just try."

"For you, my Sweetness, anything." She sat aside her work and stood up, laying her hands on Tulani's belly. "It might take me awhile, you were pretty well busted."

"Take as long as you need."

"I can't..." Emotion clogged Elunara's throat. "Sweetness, I will do everything in my power, but I cannot be sure it'll work."

"I understand that risk." Tulani nodded. "I just want you to try."

"Then we'll start immediately. Come, I want you to lay on the bed, and I'll begin."

Later, she made her way down to the platform and flopped down between the other two women. "Well, I've begun the process of healing Tuly."

Lydia frowned. "Is that advisable?"

"If it makes her happy, then yes." Elunara nodded. 

"So many babies!" Susan giggled. "How is your own coming along?" 

"Swimmingly." Elunara giggled back. "And you two?"

"Dargek keeps trying to wander off." Lydia sighed. "Twice, his daddy just barely caught him. Thankfully, they're asleep for now."

"Tilly is the same." Susan ran a hand over the sleeping form. "The other two are like Lily... no interest beyond what's at hand. I do have a different concern."

"That is?"

"Grogek has gotten meaner to his crew of trainees."

"Hm."

"Darguni's noticed it too. He's less forgiving to his men." Lydia nodded.

"That is troubling." Elunara murmured. 

"They're doing drills on how to assist a fallen comrade..." Susan murmured. "That poor Tabby girl eats at him."

"This I know." Elunara sighed. "He takes the blame not offered." She looked around. "Where is Evelyn today?"

"Off on an afternoon walk with Bradly." Lydia giggled.

"How goes that?"

"Curious. She worships the ground he walks on, and he finds her entertaining. No loving intent so far."

"I'll be curious to see how THAT one plays out."

"You and me both." Lydia picked at her skirt. "I spend some of my free time just trying to pry her out of her shell. She's quite fearful."

"Hm. Well, if you need advice, let me know."

"It's fine, Momma. I have her." Lydia leaned over and lowered her voice. "She's a virgin."

"Oh, really now?" 

"Delicate flower and everything." 

"Oo, boy." 

The girl in question currently had her arms wrapped around one of Bradly's "T-thank you for walking with me."

"You say that as if it's a hardship." He grinned down at her. 

"Well, I... it's just..." She began to stutter. 

"Don't worry about it." He kissed the top of her head. 

She turned brilliant red, and her vocabulary was reduced to stammering. 

"Alright, a little lunch is in order, and then I should head back to the yard. Come on, Tippy is making her spinach soup today. It's amazing." 

Elunara sat down in the chair and leaned back.

"How does it feel?" Mathias stood at attention on the other side of the desk. 

"Really weird." 

He flashed her a grin. "Get used to it, because it's yours until you retire and appoint someone else as head."

"I might do that every century or so..."

Laughing, he leaned against the desk. "Night elves."

She fiddled with things, opening drawers and cabinets. "Organized as always."

"You've been in my stuff?" His eyebrow shot up.

"You're surprised?"

"More at the admission."

"Too true." She plucked a small packet out of a drawer and flipped through. "Hey, this is Jameson's little package."

"It's mostly gibberish." Mathias waved a hand. "He claims to have dirt on a number of nobles, but then it just dissolves into worthless."

"You haven't had it ran through our code breakers?"

"I saw no purpose."

"You're slipping, old man." She tossed one of the papers over. "Read it upside down."

He eyed the paper. "This... these are agent names."

"There's more to this than gibberish. She considered the pages, turning them this way and that. "Fascinating... Each time you change the angle, different words pop up... different names." 

He followed her examples. "And here I thought his hand writing was just terrible."

"I guess it IS time for you to retire." She winked. "If you missed this obvious little thing."

After they shared a chuckle, he frowned. "This implicates my own agents. Look," He tapped the page on the table. "This links Jine to the Magister..."

"He knew..." She whispered. "The little shit knew." 

"He may not have known exactly what the Magister did, but he knew the connection to the corruption." 

"It's blackmail."

"What?"

"He said that he had these going in the works... I bet you he was blackmailing them. See these numbers?" She pointed around. "I bet you anything that these are blackmail tallies."

"Damn." He whispered. "I can't retire... I need to investigate these."

"Mathias..." She put a hand on his arm. "Let us work together."

"Yes, of course." 

Meanwhile, Lydia smiled at Evelyn. "Enjoy lunch?"

Bradly passed a package over. "I brought you one of her sandwiches that you like so much."

"Awesome!" Lydia yanked up the package and began to unroll it.

Evelyn gave a happy sigh. "Oh, this has been a fabulous day." She ran her hand over the top of her hair. 

"You know what we should do?" Lydia spoke between bites. "We should go to the amphitheater and sing." 

"What?" Evelyn blinked back and forth. "Oh, no. I'd rather stay here."

"After the men work." Lydia waved her hand. "I love to sing. You should join me." She happily munched on her sandwich.

"Oh, in that case, I'd love to watch you sing."

"Do you sing?" Susan smiled.

"Oh... I don't know about that."

"You can always try." Later, Lydia pushed the twins in the stroller, as Darguni walked beside her, arm around her waist. 

"Yeah," Bradly wrapped an arm around Evelyn's waist in an absent gesture. "You never know when something will leap out at ya. Try singing with Lydia, you might enjoy it."

"Oh... ok, if you say so." Evelyn stammered. 

Lydia and Darguni shared a grin. Once Evelyn opened up and sang with Lydia, it became obvious that she had some talent for it. 

That night, Lydia tugged Elunara to the side. "We need to do a concert."

"Bwuah?" Elunara raked her fingers through her hair. "I'm sorry, I've been up to my eyeballs in case review... what?"

"I want to do a concert for Evelyn. She has a beautiful voice, and I think it would help her open herself up, much like mine did for me."

"Yeah, sure. Sounds good." Elunara waved a hand. "Get Tulani to handle the dress, I'll handle the advertisement. Now, if you'll excuse me, I want to get fucked by my husband... one of them, anyway, before I crash on my face." 

Lydia blinked up at her for a moment, before heading to her own bedroom. "Your mother is in a piss poor mood tonight."

"Our mother." Darguni mumbled, as he flipped though a book. 

"Why do you say that?" Bradly yanked off his own shirt and tossed it into the hamper.

"I've never heard her so crass and short." 

Bradly stretched his shoulders. "I heard a rumor that something bad happened down at the SI:7, but no idea what." 

"Well, in any event, I've asked Elunara to help me do a concert for Evelyn. I think it'll help her." Lydia yanked off her own dress and tossed it in the hamper. 

"That's sweet of you." Bradly ran his hands across her hips and gripped her ass.

She put her hand on his chest. "How goes that, anyway?"

"She's adorable. There's some sort of fear there, but like Momma Tuly, it just makes me want to protect her."

"Probably how much she was picked on, like I was."

Darguni slipped in behind Lydia and cupped her breasts. "However, for the immediate plans..."

"Mm, I want it just like this." She leaned back against her husband. "You in the back, Bradly in the front." She purred.

Days later, Evelyn twirled around with a giggle. "It's gorgeous! But, WHY?"

"Because I like you." Lydia smiled. "You're one of the few friends I have. I just want you to be happy."

"But, whenever will I wear it?"

"Tonight. I'm holding a concert."

"A... concert? Like the one from when we were kids?"

"The same." Lydia winked. "I have a matching dress I'm putting on, and you and I will make a thing of it."

"But...?"

"Elunara will also be joining us. We've planned the whole thing out. You'll join your voice when indicated."

"I..."

"Bradly is in the front row," Lydia put her hand on Evelyn's shoulder. "waiting for JUST you."

"I'll do it." 

"Good girl."

Lydia led the way and met Elunara on the side walk. Together, the three of them made their way up to the stage. A stagehand yanked back the curtains and the crowd went wild. After a number of solos by Lydia and a duo of Elunara and Lydia, the three of them sang together in harmony. Evelyn took her turns with each of the other singers until Elunara and Lydia shoved her center forward stage.

Faced with her solo act, Evelyn froze.

"YOU CAN DO IT, SWEETHEART!" Bradly yelled.

Closing her eyes, Evelyn took a deep breath, before beginning her song. Her words were shaky, her melody weak, but slowly she got into the music. Soon, she threw her arms wide as she launched into the heat of the song, her skirts swaying with the gorgeous music. She lost herself so completely, that she failed to notice what was going on. 

Her feet stretched down, her arms extended wide and her musical words turned into the howl of the wolf. Her eyes flew open and she stared down at the tatters of her gorgeous dress. The audience froze, and no one moved or made a sound. Wrapping her arms around herself, Evelyn fled.

Bradly jumped up and chased after her.

Elunara and Lydia stepped forward. Together, they launched into a duet.

Bradly caught up to Evelyn. She was crouched down, arms wrapped around herself, weeping. "Evelyn?"

She jolted and scrambled back. "Don't look at me." She waved a claw filled hand.

"You're a Worgen?"

"It happened a few months ago," She sniffled. "while I was in Duskwood. I got bit. I thought I'd had it under control..." She ran her hands over her muzzle. "It only happens when I lose concentration. Now everyone will be afraid of me." She whimpered.

Bradly stooped down. "Sweetheart, there are Worgens everywhere in this silly city. No one is going to be afraid of you. Even if they are... they'll have to go through me."

"What?" Her head jerked up.

"I'll protect you." He held out his hand. "I love you and I want to protect you."

"You... You love me?" She ran her hands over her muzzle again. "But I look like this." 

Reaching out, he tugged her face forward and pressed his lips to hers. "I love you no matter how you look." 

"I..." Tears streamed down her furry face. "Oh gods, I've wanted you to kiss me from the moment..." She hiccupped. "And I'm stuck like this." 

"I'll kiss you in any form you want me to, sweetheart." He wiped her tears with his thumb. "Just please stop crying."

"If," She hiccupped again. "If I could stop crying... I could go back to normal."

He took her hand. "Come with me."

"Where are we going?"

"My house. Your poor dress is half destroyed, I'll see if Momma has some clothes we can borrow."

"Oh, but..."

"If you return to human, I'm sure Lydia will loan you something."

"I have clothes for... this."

"At the inn?" 

"Yes."

"Alright, we'll stop there first."

"First?" Evelyn blinked at the back of Bradly's head. "I'm so confused."

"I think we should talk. I'd prefer to do it in the comfort of my own home, where I absolutely know we'll have time alone to talk in private. I blame my mother, in that our house is considered a safe zone. Anything said or done in those walls is private and sacred. So I think we should talk there."

"Oh! Alright." She sighed. "I hate how much bigger my hand is right now."

"I'm sorry, Sweetheart." 

In her room, she stared at her furry reflection in the mirror. Closing her eyes, she began to work on those slow breathing exercises she had been taught by her mother. Once she felt calm enough, she opened her eyes and frowned at her human reflection. 

With a great deal of regret, she tossed the ruined tatters into the garbage basket, before finding her clothes and pulling on the plain dress instead. She met Bradly outside.

"Are you alright?" He took her hand again. "That took a bit."

"Yes." She sighed. "I had to get it under control."

"You know, there's a number of Worgen in city. You should ask them for help."

"I... well, it would be nice." 

"Something to consider."

"This is your house?" She gasped.

"Didn't you spend the night?"

She shook her head. "I was afraid to."

"Why?"

"Because everyone was always so mean to me... I was the chubby kid."

"You filled out well." He grinned.

"When I was bit, my whole body changed. I became leaner, taller... It was sudden, and strange. Most of my clothes had to be thrown away; they were simply too wide and short for me."

"Wow." 

"I'm grateful to Lydia for getting me some clothes made... I didn't have very many left until then." She ducked her head. "How odd that Gingy made them for me."

"Yeah, Gingy is a kick in the pants lately, with how much she flipped." He fiddled with the sign on the bedroom door.

"What are you doing?"

"Letting Darguni and his wife know to take it upstairs tonight." He grinned. "I don't want interrupted by the pair of horndogs." He tugged Evelyn into the room.

"You share a bedroom?"

"We pretty much have our whole lives, though for about a year or so, they stayed in the third floor of the tower."

"Third floor?" She near shrieked.

"Yeah, we're all spoiled." He winked. "But tonight isn't about that, it's about us." He tugged her over to sit down on the bed.

Her face went hot. "This is your bed." She whispered.

"Evelyn..." He brushed her hair back. "Listen, I want you to know that I don't care that you're a Worgen. You will always be my Evelyn, no matter what your form"

"Your...?"

"I love you. I know I do. I knew it the moment you ran off that stage in tears, because it ripped my heart out. I wanted to save you; I wanted to protect you from what you feared."

"Oh, Bradly." She gasped. 

Tugging her face to his, he brushed his lips across hers. "It's you I love." He whispered, before pulling her fully into his embrace. Her actions were timid at first, but his expert moves brought her out. Soon, she clung to him like the desperate, enjoying the taste and feel of his mouth. 

When his hand trailed up the inside of her skirts, she shoved him back and gasped. "No!"

His whole body froze, his hands still in the air, as he blinked at her in confusion. "No?"

"I... I'm sorry Bradly, I just can't. I've... I've always wanted..." She put her hands to her blazing hot face. "To wait for marriage."

"Oh!" His hand dropped into his lap. "Oh, well that's fine."

"It-it is?" 




For The Whored: The Future: Ch. 40



"Well, yeah. I mean... house rule number... I've lost track, is that you never take an unwilling partner. If you want to wait for marriage, that's fine on me."

She just blinked at him. "House rules?

"Yeah, they're posted in the library, I can show you." 

"I... um... I guess I should read them, but can I do it tomorrow?"

"Yeah, sure." He grinned. "What did you have in mind for the moment?"

"Well, I really did enjoy kissing you." She clamped a hand to her mouth. "OhmygodsIcantbelieveIsaidthat." She mumbled.

"I can't kiss you with your hand in the way." He chuckled.

"Bradly... what are we doing here?" Evelyn picked at her dress. "I mean, really. Are we...?"

"I thought we were dating, and I'm pretty sure we just kicked that up a notch." 

"And you... love me?"

"That I do." Bradly took her hand. "And I hope you can love me." Kissing the back of it, he smiled. "I'm horribly flawed, still trying to figure out how this love thing works, and I have a strange relationship with my brother and his wife. If you want me to drop the connection to Lydia, I just might do it. I mean, she did marry my brother, and I'm just accepting the handouts."

"I don't know what that means."

Raking his hand through his hair, he sighed. "It means I'm still having sex with her when she wants me. Often, I join in as a third party to help the both of them have kinky sex. It's... a little difficult to explain to new people." 

"Oh." After fidgeting for a moment, she bit her lip. "I wouldn't want to make you stop."

"Hey, I might stop on my own, like Darguni did. He was boffing every chick in a five mile radius, and then he fell pretty hard for Lydia, and he hasn't touched another female since."

"Wow."

"Love does funny things. But the absolute, number one rule... is complete honesty. You HAVE to tell me if it bothers you, or if anything bothers you at all. We can't fix what we don't know about. In fact, that brings up another point. You have to tell me if anyone in the family does something you don't like. In fact, you can tell them, we're all pretty open people."

"Oh, this is all so much to take in." 

"We got all night, and probably the rest of our lives to talk about this stuff." He winked.

"Well, I don't think I have a problem with... You and Lydia. I mean, I didn't in the first place, but if we really are dating... then no. I don't have a problem, because Lydia's been so sweet to me, even knowing full well I only approached her because you told me to."

"Lydia has a wisdom in her that I can't explain. I know that she adores you. She's already fussed at me for being indecisive. I think she's the only person in this world who might care about your welfare more than I do, and I'm in love with you." He chuckled.



For The Whored: The Future: Ch. 41



"Have fun last night?" Darguni poked Bradly in the ribs. 

"We spent a fair amount just talking. Turns out, she's an "after marriage" kind of girl. I think I like it."

"I didn't see her leave."

"I walked her back to the inn around midnight."

"Ah." Darguni snorted. "No more cockmunching for you?"

"Ha, ha. I prefer being the munched, rather than the muncher."

"Well, if you still like a dick up your ass, you can borrow mom's toolkit." 

"I'm pretty sure... having giant marble dick shattered up my ass has broken me of the notion."

Both turned around at a heavy sigh. "That's what I get for walking within earshot of Elunara's kids." Gerald rubbed the bridge of his nose. "Now I need brain bleach."

"Um, may I sit?"

Lydia blinked up. "Of course, you're always free to sit here." She scooted over. "Your... condition changes nothing."

"In Duskwood," Evelyn sat on the edge of the platform. "people are still afraid of us. Momma helped me hide because of it. Forgive me if I'm a little frightened of people knowing. I'll... try not to touch your children."

"Don't be ridiculous." Lydia scoffed. "I'm not worried about you hurting my children. Besides, all five babies here are only half human. Susan's are half orc, and mine... Well, Darguni is half orc, half night elf."

"What... does that have to do with anything?"

"Only humans can be converted to Worgen." Elunara stood over them. "Have you seen Gerald?"

"Last saw him speaking with Darguni and Bradly." 

"Thanks." 

Lydia watched Elunara walk off. "She hasn't been herself lately..."

"It's going around." Susan sighed. "Grogek has been working his recruits near to death." 

"Yo, Gerald."

"What's up 'Nara?"

"Were you blackmailed by a dwarf named Jameson?"

He blinked. "Ok, first, who? Second, I haven't done anything blackmail worthy."

Elunara searched his face. "I need your help."

"With?"

Grabbing his arm, she dragged him off of the training yard. "My house, now."

"Alright." He tugged his arm out of her grasp. "Sis, you don't have to force me."

"Sorry." She raked her fingers through her hair. "I know you, I trust you."

"I would hope you do." 

Closing the front door, she leaned against it. "One hundred and thirty seven."

"Uhh, ok?"

"That's how many agents I now have in custody; many of which are facing charges for treason."

"What the shit?"

"It seems that this shitty little dwarf named Jameson had blackmail on a number of people, many of which are in our agency and many of which paid him off with favors within the agency."

Gerald flopped down in a chair. "You've got to be fucking kidding me."

"Mathias and I have been tearing the information to pieces and it just gets more disastrous by the page. I need your help, because nobody can scent blood like you can. I need to divide up the work, but I have essentially no one. You can help me figure out who I can trust and who I can't." 

"Just tell me what to do and I'll do it."

"Thank the Gods." She sighed. 

"So much for early retirement." Gerald chuckled.

"I know... poor Mathias is in pieces over this."

"Oh, I meant me."

She raked her fingers through her hair. "What?"

"Yeah... I was going to ask you for a solid, and let me retire. I want the full package. Guess I have to wait."

"After this mess, we can discuss it." She rubbed her hands over her growing belly.

"It's still weird seeing you pregnant."

"A kick in the ass is what it is." She laughed. "I check on her every few minutes, just to feel the sensations."

That night, Elunara climbed in bed and curled up beside Grogek. 

"Are you ok, my love?"

"I'm so tired." She groaned. "I've been indoors, locked away for days, and haven't had a chance to recharge."

"And you've helped me instead?" Tulani blinked.

"I just want to see you happy." 

At the pounding on the door, Elunara groaned. "WHAT?" She yelled

Bradly pushed the door open. "I just spotted Tina and Lulu leaving the house."

"I'll kill the both of them." She climbed out of bed and headed for the door. 

Picking up their trail, she followed the pair to the base of the Keep. Hiding behind a wall, she blinked at the crowd of children. Nearly every child in Stormwind, and some adults, stood around as if waiting for something. 

From the center of a crowd, a man, no a boy; rose above the rest in a purple orb of power. In his hand, he held what looked like a bracelet. A bag was attached to the front of his chest. "THAT'S RIGHT!" He called. "OBEY ME!"

"The hell is THAT?" 

A whisper startled her, but she hid it well. "It looks like he's controlling our children with some sort of enchantment."

"I followed William and Chrissy out here." Gerald scrubbed his hands across his face. "He wasn't kidding, that kid looks just like him."

"I'd say this one is a couple of years older than him."

"What do we do?"

"We've got to get that bag away from him. I wish we had more... is that ZELINNIA?" Elunara pointed.

"GIVE ME BACK MY WIFE AND CHILDREN!!!" Renwa had his sword out and pointed it at the boy.

"They're MINE now! The newest twilight recruits." He dug into his pack and pulled out a rolled up paper. "Destroy him!" 

Zelinnia readied a fireball, but did not complete the cast. Every time the boy thrust the paper out she shifted, and began her cast, but dropped it at the end. 

"Stupid adults." The boy dropped the page into his bag, before pulling out a gilded hairbrush. "But THIS one..." Abigail stepped forward and hit Renwa with an arcane shot. "THAT WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH!" He waved the brush. "I know you're stronger than THAT! KILL HIM!"

"We have to help him." Gerald winced. 

"Give me back my family!" Mark appeared at a different point. 

"Gerald, go join them. The more people distracting him, the more opportunity I have."

"Shit, if you say so." He bolted out. "GIVE ME BACK MY WIFE AND SON!"

Elunara went stealth and began shifting through the crowd. 

Gerald flung his dagger at the kid in the orb. "NOW!"

The dagger was harmlessly deflected by the orb. The boy began to laugh. "You'll never break this barrier! I have the strongest of them all." He held up the bracelet. "Arcane and shadow, combined as one, amazing!"

Elunara shifted her attention to the crowd and found Lulu in the center, casting her magic upwards. "Lulu!" She whispered. "Snap out of it, Sweetest."

"It's no use!" The boy pointed at Elunara. "She's MINE now! How amazing for me, that the prettiest of them all, is also the most powerful. When I get my little crowd of slaves back to the master, he'll let me have her."

"Not on your life." Elunara growled. Without hesitation, she jammed her dagger into Lulu's hand. Lulu let out a howl of pain and dropped her cast. The boy fell to the ground, and before he could react, Elunara was on him, slamming his head into the concrete and knocking him out. 

"That didn't work!" Gerald shoved through the crowd of mindless people. "They're still under."

"What's going on?" Mark pushed through. "Abigail is still shooting at Renwa. They're all low rank, stunner hits, but it's starting to wear on him."

"Dammit." Elunara yanked up the hairbrush. "Control runes." She dug through the bag. "Each item is covered in control runes. He stole the items they cared the most about." 

"What can WE do?" Mark raked his hands through his hair and stared at his poor trapped wife.

"Yeah, you're the only one of us who even knows control runes." Gerald sighed. 

"Well, I know how to draw them, but these are beyond me." 

"Allow me."

Everyone looked up. "Janella?" Elunara blinked.

"Let me save my child."

"Your child?"

She pointed at a small girl.

"Do it." Elunara turned her attention to healing Lulu's bleeding hand.

Focusing on the hairbrush first, Janella began the lengthy process of going through the bag and freeing each person. When the bag was empty, Janella collapsed. 

"Momma?" Lulu whimpered down at Elunara, who had turned her attention to the collapsed Worgen. 

Gerald jogged up the stairs. "EVERYONE! You were all under a spell. Claim your items and go home!" 

After much confusion and the distribution of items, Elunara carried Janella to her home. "Your mother might have to sleep for a day or so, just keep an eye on her. Come get me if anything goes wrong."

"Yes, miss Elunara."

The following day, Elunara napped in the warm sun on the platform while Lydia and Susan were off walking together. Varian came down and sat beside her, his hand rubbing on her side.

"Mm, didn't expect to see you."

"You've been so absent lately, and didn't bother to tell me you were exhausted."

"Sorry, my love. My brain has been shot." She cuddled up to him. 

"When are you going to handle your newest prisoner?"

"After I've built my store up. I don't know if he's brainwashed, or magically suffering. I have to be fully charged." 

"Does using up a store like that... hurt the baby?"

"Not really." She yawned and stretched. "Mostly, it turns me into a human for a little while." Winking, she rubbed her cheek on his leg. "What I don't use; goes straight to her." 

"Ah."

"I still can't believe momma STABBED me." Lulu turned her hand over.

"In doing so, she saved us all." William took Lulu's hand and kissed the scar.

"GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF HER!" Nara stormed over. "Don't you TOUCH her, you little freak!"

"Nara!" Lulu jumped up and put her body in between the two. "How dare you?!"

"He's just like that little bastard that had us all mind controlled. They told me why that maniac looks just like him, they were born from the same stock! They're brothers!"

"THEN HATE ME TOO!" She shoved at Nara. "I was born the same way!"

Nara blinked down at Lulu. "But...?"

"William is just as much my brother as that maniac!" Tears streamed down her face. "I was born the same way... the forced mating of a succubus. If you have to hate him, then you have to hate me!"

"But, Lulu... it's not the--"

"Don't you DARE tell me it's not the same!" She jabbed her finger in his chest. "I was born the same way, so we ARE the same. You hate my brother, and I'll hate you right back!"

"I..." Nara looked back and forth between Lulu's angry face and William's astonished. "Brother?" He finally managed.

She yanked off her bracelet and threw it on the ground. "I'm through with you!" Without another word, she fled.

Nara carefully picked the bracelet up. 

William jumped up and ran off.

Chrissy jolted when the front door slammed. Peering around, she spotted William on his bed, face down, arms at his sides. "Something wrong, sweetheart?"

"Lulu called me her brother." He muttered.

"Oh, dear." Chrissy buried her chuckle. 

"I don't want to be her BROTHER!" He lamented. 

"Well, Lydia thought Bradly was her brother... and Darguni thought Lydia was his sister. Things change. You're not blood related... so..." Chrissy gestured vaguely.

"I guess." William rolled over on his side. "You think it won't last?"

"Probably not." She shrugged. "In this crazy city, and that crazy family... anything is possible."

Nara straightened his gear and fiddled with his hair. Finally, he knocked on the door.

Lydia blinked at him. "Hello?"

"Is... Lulu here?"

She eyed the bundle of roses. "Are you the one who made her cry?"

Nara winced. "Yeeees?"

"Get in here, your guilt is making me sick."

"That obvious, huh?" He yanked at his collar. "I didn't mean to make her mad. I just... I misunderstood..."

Lydia rolled her eyes. "Come on, explain it to her." 

At the knock on the bedroom door, they heard a watery "enter". Nara winced and pushed open the door.

"Go away!"

"I'll be downstairs." Lydia shook her head.

"Lulu, please don't hate me because I was stupid." 

"How could you be so MEAN to William?"

"Because I acted without thinking." He thrust out the hand with the roses. "In your favorite shade of pink."

Sniffling, she took the roses. "Thank you." She buried her face in the roses and breathed deeply. "They're lovely, but I'm still angry with you."

"I wasn't convinced the roses would fix everything, but I knew you'd like them."

"Why DID you act like that?" She put the roses in a vase on her desk.

"After last night, and how much that kid looks like William, I started thinking... how much DO we know of William and his birth parents?"

"Plenty." Lulu sighed. "One of the major rules that our family has, Nara, is that we NEVER judge a person by their birth. My birth mother raped my dad. I've heard all about it from the time I was small. Do you KNOW why they told a small child of her horrible birth? So that no one else would be able to use it against me. I know that your parents know the whole story, but did they ever tell you?"

"N-no."

"A sick and depraved woman used a succubus to lure my father out of the house. For months on end, she did as she wanted to him, because it was the only way she could have him. How awful is that? I was told that William's birth mother was kidnapped and forced to have as many babies as her body would let her. She escaped somehow and wound up in Stormwind. Being forced to have so many babies in horrible conditions... her body gave up. No one knows how many she had, or how long she'd been tortured in such a way. But William? Was her very last. If not for my mother, he would have died in her belly. If not for Chrissy...?" Lulu shrugged vaguely.

"Ok, I'm going to be sick."

"It IS sick. So, you see, I have to protect William. He may be only a week younger than I am, but I'm still his big sister. If only in name." 

"And here I thought I was protecting you." Nara sighed and raked his fingers through his hair. "I am SO, SO sorry. I feel like a complete jackass."

She stood on her toes and kissed his cheek. "Rule number one in our family, no one acts in anger or haste."

He wrapped his arm around her waist. "Your family, huh?"

"Well, since Zelinnia is mother's sister, she IS my aunt, is she not?"

Nara closed his eyes and dropped his arm. "Yes."

"Oh, what is that?" She blinked at his other hand. 

He held it up. "If you're not angry with me anymore... I brought your bracelet back."

"Oh!" She bit her lip. "I guess I broke my own family rule. I was just so angry with you for being cruel to poor William." She put the bracelet back on her wrist. "I'm sorry."

"No, I am." He made to kiss her.

"The HELL is going on in HERE?"

"Daddy!" 

Jordan grabbed Nara by his uniform. "Hands off, buster."

"Sorry, sir! I was just leaving, sir!" Nara bolted out of the room.

Jordan turned on Lulu. "No kissing boys until you're eighteen!"

"Oh, Daddy! Stop fussing. I only gave him a tiny peck on the cheek."

"YOU WHAT?"

Nara ran all the way home as if hell itself was on his heels. 

"Don't slam the door!" Zelinnia jerked a finger at Nara.

"Sorry, Momma... Hey, I have a question..."

"Have at it."

"Are you really Elunara's sister?"

"That's kind of a dumb question."

"Ugh, Lulu called me family, and then pointed out that you're her aunt."

"You're cousins by declaration only. If you're after dating her, then you're going to have to go for elaborate, I mean, look at Darguni and Lydia. He thought she was his sister, and now look at them."

"Maybe." He mumbled.



For The Whored: The Future: Ch. 42



"He's just so young." Varian murmured.

Sitting in a cell, unconscious and tied down, was the assailant. Varian and Elunara stood to one side, just watching the boy.

"He's sixteen, maybe seventeen." Elunara sighed. "But I guarantee you; he's been indoctrinated since birth."

"You think he's one of the missing Twilight babies?"

"I know he is." She rubbed her own belly. "The Twilight are a sick lot, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if there are others out there, just like him, causing various forms of mischief."

"How are you handling him?"

"We're taking a two step approach." Leaning her head out of the door, she called out.

Janella stepped into the room. "So, this is the child that tried to take mine."

"And many others. I know what he did was horrible, but you'll have to put that to the side for now."

"I know my duty." Janella moved into the cell and began running her hands over the boy.

"Do you trust her?" Varian whispered.

"She trains my daughter."

"That's all I need to know."

After a few minutes, Janella stepped back out of the cell. "His body is rife with succubus magic, but he is not under any form of mind control. He acted of his own free will."

"Damn." Elunara sighed. "I'd hoped... Never mind. Thank you, Janella."

"Thank you." She bowed, before turning and leaving. 

"Now what?" Varian sighed. 

"We're going to have a little chat, and then I'll go from there."

"Lovely." He kissed her temple. "Stay safe."

"You know me." She winked. Locking the cell door, she sat in a chair opposite of her prisoner. Reaching forward, she broke the healer sleep.

He jolted up. 

"Hello."

"Elunara?"

"You know of me?"

"You are famous in the Twilight. We are taught to look out for the purple hair night elf, with the temper rivaling the dragons themselves. That you are interrogating me at the moment... an honor."

"Curious." She cocked her head to the side. "I'm shocked that I've left such a lasting impression in the Twilight."

"You'll never break me." He leaned back in the chair and gave her a feral grin. "They trained me against all of your techniques."

"My techniques?" 

"Pain is meaningless to me."

"Oh, Sweetheart..." Elunara sighed. "Let's start simple, what's your name?"

"I don't have one. I am known as 1-9-5-0." 

"That's a terrible name." She shook her head. "Let's call you Bobby for now." 

"Bobby?" He gave her a blank look.

"It's much better, don't you think?"

"I guess." He continued to blink at her in baffled amazement.

Several hours later, she helped him drink from the cup. "Still thirsty?"

"Nah, I'm good." He shook the hair out of his face. "Got anything to eat?"

"Sure, give me a minute." She stepped outside.

"How goes it?" Varian rubbed his hand down her back.

"I'm cracking him with kindness. He doesn't know what to do about it."

"Good." He kissed the side of her head.

Going back in, she untied the kid from the chair. "Here, eat." She held up the plate, the door to the cell behind her was open.

He eyed the door for a few minutes before taking the plate and fork. "Thanks." Sitting on the bed, he began to shovel the food into his mouth. 

"We're done for today." She smiled, before stepping out and closing the door. "I'll be back tomorrow."

"Hey!"

"Yes?"

"They lied... you're actually really nice."

Laughing, she rubbed a hand on her belly. "Keep that up, and I'll give you dessert." 

"It seems to be working." Varian peered in the window in the door.

"Only barely." She frowned. "I'm going slow, slathering him with kindness, and yet, he only gives me hints and vague comments. I'm getting nothing out of the twerp. I have him off his game, but not enough."

"Oh." 

"Tomorrow, and the next few days, I'm too damned busy and I'll be sending in agents. Keep changing the agents, keep him on his toes. He WANTS me. I'll get more out of him this way."

The following day, Elunara slipped into Tulani's studio. "Busy?"

"Oh, no..." Tulani tapped her pencil on her board. "I just didn't feel like dealing with people today."

"I'm sorry." Elunara slipped her hands over Tulani's shoulders. "What are you designing there?"

"Baby clothes... Some for Susan and Lydia's children, some for yours, and..." She flipped a few pages. "I so badly want a little girl." 

"We'll get you your baby." Elunara kissed Tulani's neck and slipped her hands down the front of Tulani's dress. Cupping the breasts, she stroked her thumbs over Tulani's nipples. "Just a little longer, my pretty." 

Tulani gasped and leaned back against Elunara. 

"Don't suppose..." Elunara licked Tulani's neck.

"Please!" Tulani gasped. "I want you." She reached back and crushed her fingers into Elunara's hair. 

Elunara tugged Tulai's dress down her shoulders and down the front, freeing the Draenei's breasts from the confining fabric. Tulani stood up and Elunara tugged the dress the rest of the way down. "I wonder..." She kissed the base of Tulani's tail. Tulani gasped and put her hands on her desk. "Fascinating. She began to lick the tail and massage the base of it. 

"Please," Tulani gasped. "No more!"

"Alright, alright." Elunara chuckled. "The silly thing is going to bruise my face at the rate it thrashes."

"That stupid thing is always so sensitive!" 

Standing up swiftly, Elunara tugged Tulani into her embrace, capturing her mouth and just devouring the taste of her wife. Around the Draenei's body, Elunara's hands roamed, finding those sensitive and vulnerable spots, driving Tulani into a frenzy. Following her fingers down, Elunara kissed her way down Tulani's body, before finding those soft curls and kissing just above them.

Tulani dropped down into her chair and spread her legs wide, allowing Elunara to use both fingers and mouth on the delicate skin of her thighs. As she worked, she concentrated her energy into Tulani's body. Even as she pumped her fingers in and out of Tulani's dripping center, she poured high doses of healing along with it. By time Tulani shivered and shook, Elunara had completed her task.

"Well, that should cover it."

"Cover... what?" Tulani gasped.

"I'd say you're all fixed up."

"I... I am?" Tulani's hands flew to her belly.

"If I understand the mess correctly, I can jump start the needed hormones whenever you're ready."

Tulani threw her arms around Elunara. "Oh, THANK YOU!!" She began to weep. "I never..." She hiccupped. "Thought... I could.... Have a chance." She gasped in between breaths. 

"Anything to see you happy, my Sweetness." Elunara brushed Tulani's hair out of her face and kissed away her tears. "Any time you want to try, you just let me know."

"Tonight?" Tulani whispered. "Can I start trying tonight?"

Elunara giggled. "Let's make sure that Jordan is up for it." She winked.

She strolled down to the training yard and gestured to Jordan. When he walked over, she grabbed him by the front of his shirt and assaulted his mouth with her own. 

He gasped for air and rubbed his hands down her ass. "Mm, is someone wanting a spanking?"

"Tulani is ready for her go. I've healed her all I can and we're just waiting for your word for me to give her a shot of hormones."

Licking his lips, he blinked. "I thought you tasted odd."

She ran her fingers across her lips. "Yeah, I came straight over from making a meal out Tulani."

"I SHOULD spank you." He growled. "I'm going to have this hard on all damned day." 

"Or we could have a go right now." She winked. 

"Now." He turned her around and shoved her forward. Signaling at Mark, he turned and followed after his crazy wife.

"Tulani!" Elunara called out. "We're here to make you a baby!"

Lulu came out of her bedroom. "MOMMA!"

"Well, I didn't know you were in here, Lulu."

"Ugh, I came to get my books. I am SO out of here!" She ran out of the house.

Jordan shook his head. "The house of trauma, I swear."

Tulani stepped out of her own bedroom. "I'd like to do this in Jordan's room if I may."

"Whatever you're comfortable with, Tuly."

"We'll make it special, Sweetness."

"Thank you." Tulani nodded and disappeared into Jordan's room.

"I think she's worried about flashbacks." Elunara murmured. 

"Oh. Shit."

"Don't worry; I'll do all the work, including timing. You bring your dick, and focus on me. I actually agree with Tulani's decision to keep her bed for just us." She slid her hand down the front of his pants. "I love that you went flat at the thought of hurting our dear Tulani, but there's no need for that. Follow me and start getting out of all of your gear."

They made it into Jordan's room, where Tulani was pacing. "Where should I be?"

Elunara laid her hands on Tulani's arms. "There's no need for nerves, my beauty." She brushed her lips over Tulani's. "It's just our Jordan. You've been with him before; the only difference is that he'll end with putting it in you instead of me."

"I know that." Tulani sighed. "I know him, I want this... but I worry..."

"It's just us, my love." She brushed Tulani's hair back. "It's just us." She brushed her lips across Tulani's, soft and sweet. Slowly she pressed in, running her hands down the Draenei's sides and rear. 

Jordan quietly stowed his gear as he watched the two women dance together, hands roaming around. Together, they unrobed one another, and once they were both naked, Elunara pressed Tulani on to the bed and stooped down in front of her, burying her face in those slick folds. Jordan sat down and began to stroke his erection, watching his wife eat out the woman he called sister. 

Elunara signaled Jordan and he got up and walked to them. Taking his dick in her hand, she began to work her expertise on him. She slipped her mouth over the tip of his dick and began to slide up and down, working him. When he began to twitch, she backed off. Guiding the both of them, as Jordan put his hands on Tulani's shoulders. 

Once more, Elunara wrapped one hand on Jordan's dick and helped guide him into Tulani's prepared wetness. Her hand danced around his balls, making him explode into Tulani. When their shaking slowed to mild shivers, Jordan pulled free. 

"Now, we wait." Elunara grinned. 

"How long?" Tulani gasped.

"As sensitive as I am, I can tell you in about a month and half or more. It may take multiple tries, you know."

"Yes. I am well aware." Tulani rubbed her empty belly. "But, now, I have a shot."

"I hope it takes." Jordan cleaned himself off. "No offense Tuly, but I prefer my wife."

Tulani grinned. "Me too."

The next day, Elunara sat on the platform. "My love, we have a new situation." Varian sighed.

"What now?"

"We captured a Tauren at the front gate. Claims he knows you."

"This should be interesting." Elunara closed her board and followed Varian into the Stockades. "Sunwood? Is that seriously you?"

"Hello again, Elunara."

"What in the world are you doing here?"

"I heard of a family of Blood Elves that defected to the Alliance. With all the upheaval in the Horde right now..." He shrugged. "I thought the Alliance looked better."

"Upheaval?"

"You know how it goes... one faction doesn't want to be led by a troll, and some don't want an orc, and the Dark Lady has been trying to take over... it's a mess."

Tapping her pencil on the board, she considered. "Will you do me a couple of strange favors?"

"Name your price Elunara."

She gestured him over. When he leaned his ear against the bars, she whispered. 

His eyes went wide. "SERIOUSLY?"

"I know your tastes..."

He sighed. "This is why I never told anyone. Yes, I'll fulfill your price."

"Good man. Let him out." She gestured. Once he was out of the cage, she grinned. "I'll get you a place to live, and then I'll arrange the rest."

Varian watched the tauren stomp away. "Whatever did you ask him?"

"I want a cast mold of his dick for my collection."

Varian closed his eyes and sighed. "Only you."

"And one other thing, to be collected at a later date."

"And that is?"

"Client confidentiality." She winked. 



For The Whored: The Future: Ch. 43



Elunara flipped through the paperwork and sighed. She sat in the SI:7, in Mathias' old chair, yet felt more out of control than she ever had. Between Jameson's little packet, and the twilight brat in her hold, she had her plate full. Speaking of plate, she was desperate for some carrot cake. She rubbed a hand over her growing belly. She was six months along by her own estimation, and nowhere NEAR the size she had been at only four with Darguni. 

"Enter!" She called

Varian stuck his head in. "Feeling alright?"

"I'm hungry."

He walked in and set a small box on the table. "A personal carrot cake from Tippy."

"You mind reader!" She popped the box and snatched the fork out. "I was just thinking of this." Her groan of ecstasy on the first bite had him laughing. 

"I knew it was your favorite."

"Emmaline's favorite from where I sit. She has me craving it near constantly."

Kneeling beside her, he rubbed his hands on her belly. "Mine." He whispered.

"You and your claiming things." She winked at him. 

"Hey, I'm High King. I get to claim things." He winked back. "I can't wait to meet her." 

Elunara jolted. "Apparently, the feeling is mutual. She just kicked the shit out of me." 

"Where?"

"Right... here." She guided his hand. 

"I feel her!" He gasped. "Hello, sweetie." Varian crooned to her belly. "You're my little girl. Mine." With a chuckle, he looked up at Elunara. "She certainly has your opin— Did she shift?"

Elunara put her hands on her belly. "She just rolled over and went to sleep. You bored her." She stuck out her tongue.

"Well, she doesn't bore me." He murmured. Sighing, he straightened up. "Our little prisoner is asking for you."

"According to the reports I'm receiving, that's all he does." She tapped her fingers on the desk. "I can't torture the little snot, he's expecting that."

"Expecting..."

"He TRAINED on it. He told me himself. Not that I'm surprised, the twilight cultists are all out of their marb-- hm..." 

"I know that look, what are you planning?"

Elunara made her way down into the Stockades. As she made her way into Bobby's cell, she made a dramatic showing of holding her belly as she sat down. It would probably be more convincing if she was bigger, but she hoped the kid wouldn't notice the difference.

"Hello, there. They said you've been asking about me. Forgive me; I have too much to do each day." 

"They say you're queen AND the leader of the SI:7."

"That I am." She laughed. "And pregnant on top of it, but what can you do?" She shrugged. "Too much on my plate these days." She blinked down at the fork in her hand. "Oops. Speaking of plates." She tucked it into her pocket. "I was in the middle of lunch when they asked if I could make time for you.

After a couple of hours, she stood up and made a grand gesture of stretching. With a sigh, she tugged open the door of the cell and stood there, hand on the door. "Well, I guess I'll see you..." She appeared to be considering her schedule. "at some point this week." 

"Not likely!" He grabbed the fork out of her pocket and jammed it into her belly. Like a shot, he bolted through the hallways and out of the Stockades.

Wincing, she pulled the fork tines out of her skin. 

"Are you alright?" Varian rushed into the cell. 

"It's only surface." She watched the wound heal. "I was trying to look incompetent, not make her a damned target. Worthless little shit." 

"Will this work?" 

"I have six of my best agents on that kid. ONE of them will give me his destination. He killed my runners; that much is true, but he hasn't had to deal with my trackers. They'll bring him to me."

Bradly walked hand in hand with Evelyn. "Portal lake is best at night, when you can see it all lit up."

"It's beautiful by itself."

"You know..." He brushed her hair back and brushed his lips across hers. "Just like you."

Her face went hot. "Y-you think?"

"I know." He grinned. "I find it funny, the past few months... I haven't given Lydia a thought when I'm with you. Even at night, I think of just you."

"Oh! Oh, my..."

"One of the family rules... is to follow what's in your heart. Do you want to know what's in my heart?"

"I want nothing more." She breathed.

He stooped down and pulled out a tiny box. Popping it open, he smiled. "That I want you to marry me."

"Oh, Bradly!" She gasped. "Yes!"

They ran back to the training yard together. 

Lydia blinked up at the two of them. "What's up?" 

"We're getting married." Bradly grinned. "She said yes!"

"I... I did." Evelyn blushed.

"It must be going around." Lydia giggled. "Warren just asked Gingy."

"WARREN?" Bradly near shrieked. "And GINGY?"

"What's wrong with THAT?" They turned around to see Gingy with her hands on her hips.

"Uhhhhhh..." Bradly rubbed the back of his head. "Nothing?"

"Damned right." Warren laughed. "I love her. She's completely crazy, but I love her."

"Oh, I'M the crazy one, huh?" Gingy crossed her arms. "I highly doubt that." She bounced. "I need to design my wedding dress!"

"Gingy..." Lydia sighed. "It's bad luck. Ask Tulani."

"Momma TULANI!" Gingy gasped. "Even better!" 

"Have you even told Momma Tulani?"

Gingy gasped. "I'm a horrible daughter! I should have told her first!" She took off running. 

Lydia giggled. "That's what you'll have to live with, Warren."

"Somehow, I think I'm going to love the hell out of it." Warren grinned.

Lydia tucked the twins into the stroller. "I'm going to go for a walk, care to join me Evelyn?"

"Yes! Of course." Evelyn fell in step with Lydia as Bradly went down into the yard. 

Jordan smacked Bradly on the back. "Finally getting married?"

"And not to Lydia... weird, isn't it?"

"I think you're making the right choice, honestly" Jordan shrugged. "Crazy sex can only get you so far in life." 

"Yeah... before Evelyn, I was starting to feel like the addon to Darguni and Lydia, rather than a romantic kind of love between me and Lydia."

"That's not a relationship, son."

"No, no it's not. Which is part of the reason I like Evelyn not wanting to have sex... I learned about her, not about my pants." 

"Good man." 

"So, he finally asked you." Lydia grinned at Evelyn. 

"You knew?"

"Bradly has been rejecting me. I knew it was only a matter of time."

"I'm so sorry!" Evelyn put her hands up to her face. "I didn't mean--"

Lydia waved a hand. "Of course not. I don't blame you, in fact, I find it adorable."

"Adorable?"

"He's been so focused on you, that he doesn't even want me, and this time it's for real."

"For real?"

"It is his to explain." Lydia shrugged. "Meanwhile, he loves you completely because that is who he is. Perhaps you and he can take the honeymoon suite of the house." Lydia winked. 

"Honeymoon suite?" 

"The top floor of the house is a room with a full view. It's beautiful up there. After, we'll have to figure out where you'll stay permanently. Then your children." 

"C-children?"

"Sorry my mind may not be as lightning fast as momma's but I still have enough of her in me to be bothersome." 

"What now?"

Both women turned back and looked at Elunara. "Bradly is marrying Evelyn." 

"About damned time." Elunara snorted. "That silly little box has been eating a hole in his pocket for a month now."

"How did you know about that?" Lydia blinked.

"Saw him buy it." 

"Oh. That's funny."

"I've already arranged with Varian and Ina, so, as soon as you two pick a date, the Keep will be decorated to the hilt."

"We're getting married in the Keep?" Evelyn gasped.

"Unless you'd prefer the fountain out front... which I actually recommend. Lydia's wedding was gorgeous there."

"Oh! Oh, my... I just..."

Elunara snagged Evelyn before she could hit the ground. "Well, then." 

Lydia giggled. "Poor girl."

"Well, I have been told that I'm overwhelming to some." She scooped Evelyn up. "I'll get her to her inn room."

"Need help?"

"Nope, I got it."

"I'm going to finish my walk and take the babies up to mine and Darguni's favorite spot."

"Sounds good."

Humming to herself, Lydia made her way through town. It always amused her to sense Tara's hate around some corner or another. What was more concerning lately... was sensing Minuette nearby, and often close to Tara. Why either of them was watching her so closely, was beyond her. Perhaps she needed to mention it to Elunara. For now, she lost their tail easily and made her way high up on the hill. Tugging both children free, she tossed them a set of toys, before lying on her side and just watching them.

Darguni found them all piled together, sound asleep. Dargek woke first and pulled himself up on his legs. He stood crooked and fell sideways into the soft grass. Laughing, Darguni pulled his son into his lap. "That's my good boy." He tossed the child in the air to wild giggles.

Lydia woke and lay in the grass, just watching. "He tries so hard to walk."

"That's because he's my big strong boy." Darguni grinned.

"Lily walks well, but she doesn't have the determination her brother does." Lydia cuddled the still sleeping girl. "It's like "ok, I can do this, big deal, don't care". And then she goes right back to her toys." 

"Well, my son is a fighter, and that's all he needs." He gave Dargek big smacking kisses, before setting him down with the toys. Dargek pulled himself up again and tried to walk, only to fall over in the uneven hill. Darguni fought the tears as he sat down and held Dargek's tiny hands and helped him to walk.

"It still hurts him to do." Lydia choked on her words. She held out her hands. "Let me heal him, he's worked it too hard."

They traded babies, and Darguni cuddled Lily. "I'll be alright, you'll see."

"Momma tries and tries to heal him, but she said that the bone is too short, and the muscle isn't connected to the right places. He'll always have the bad leg, and it'll always hurt him to use."

"Gods." Darguni sighed. 

"He loves to move, though. No matter how much it bothers him, he fights and he fights. I don't think he understands that the pain is his own body being so cruel to him." Tears streamed down her face. 

He wiped her cheeks. "My love, I'm so sorry."

"And yet..." She gave a watery laugh. "I'd have more... I'd give you more children."

"Oh, Baby." He tugged her over into his embrace. "My beautiful love."

"But, for now, we'll enjoy our children. Perhaps Bradly and Evelyn will give our children some cousins to play with."

He grinned down at her. "Changed your mind about letting him try with you?"

"Between me, you and the babies, I wasn't thrilled with the idea."

"Really?" 

"I just wanted to make him happy. I love Bradly, but it would have been to help him, not for me, so to speak."

"I'll be damned."

"You I love, my beautiful husband." She rubbed her cheek on his massive chest. "I'm so happy that Bradly found his one... because I haven't been able to put myself fully into the relationship." She sighed. "I've been using him like a tool. We have a toolkit, we don't NEED Bradly."

"Why haven't you said anything before?"

"Because I do love him. But... after all that has been said and done... I can't fully commit to him. He is an addition to our games, but he is not an addition to my heart. I just can't give him all of what he needs to feel whole. Evelyn can, because she'd be fully devoted to him. I can't compete with that, nor do I want to try." 

"Baby, you're a beautiful person, just for wanting to give him what he could not have, knowing full well what happened with Dargek's leg. That you were even willing to try..."

She shrugged. "It is what it is. Funny how everything worked out anyway." She winked.

He crushed his mouth to hers. The pair of children squawked at being squished between their parents. They broke contact with a laugh. 

Putting Dargek down, she sighed. "I should tell you, Minuette and Tara hang out too often."

At the mention of their names, his hackles raised. "What?"

"I "spot" them on my walks. Never visually, only in emotion. Tara hates the ground I walk on, and Minuette is obscenely jealous. They hang out a lot and I often see them in the same area or together."

"That's... weird and yet, highly appropriate."

"A couple of times, I've caught them on the edge of the yard, radiating lust like a pair of bitches in heat."

"They ARE a pair of bitches in heat." He snorted. "Neither one is getting what they want." 

Meanwhile:

"This is completely stupid." Minuette hissed. "Why does that little slip of a bitch, who happens to be his fucking SISTER, get him and we can't?"

"I thought for the longest time, that she had something over on him. Like blackmail. But they're so fucking sappy together."

"Succubus?"

"Nah, I've known her long enough. If it was any kind of magic, it would have outed already."

"Gods, just once. All I need is once." She held up the metal dick. "This thing is magnificent, but to have a flesh one..."

"I've had the flesh one, the metal just can't compare." Tara sighed and looked out from the alley. "The man knows how to use it." She groaned.

"So, are we going through with this plan?"

"It's the best we have. The key to Darguni is through his" Tara shuddered. "wife."



For The Whored: The Future: Ch. 44



"I can't believe I've agreed to this." Sunwood muttered. 

"Don't worry, you'll be fine." Elunara laughed. "Besides, this request came in years ago." She popped open the front door.

"Where's the pretty?" Kimmy smacked her bubblegum. 

"Right through here. As promised, the final dick to complete the set."

Eyeing Sunwood, Kimmy licked her lips. "Damn you CAN arrange anything you want." 

Sunwood sighed. "Let's get this over with."

"Now, don't be like that." Elunara scratched his furry chin. "I'll make it fun for all of us." 

"Have you had tauren before?" Kimmy started stripping off her clothes.

"Many times. My first tauren ever, was no less than Cairne Bloodhoof. Long before I had trained my body to take what it can take, I snuck my way into Thunder Bluff. I got stuck and had to wait HOURS before he dislodged." Elunara giggled. "He was such a sweetheart... a pity that I never got to see him again."

"You..." Sunwood swallowed the lump in his throat.

"I could have loved him... if only I'd had the capacity." She sighed. "But this is not about sad things; this is about fulfilling a wish." 

"The way you speak of him..." Sunwood murmured. "My respect for you has increased." 

"Mm, honey, I make my own respect." She ran her fingers under his soft chin again. "Now, let's get you hard so that my gnomey friend here can ride you like a Dark Moon Faire attraction."

"I'm already naked!" Kimmy climbed up on to the couch. 

In a few swift movements, Elunara had Sunwood completely undressed. 

He blinked down. "I keep forgetting how adept you are at that." 

"That's not all I'm adept at." She stooped down and ran her hands over his dick. Before he could blink, she slipped her mouth over the tip. 

"Spirits save me!" He gasped, grabbing at her hair. 

Up and down she moved her mouth until she was satisfied by how hard he was. Swiftly, she stood up and shoved him back onto the couch. When he landed, she adjusted his legs to her satisfaction. Even as Kimmy climbed up, Elunara knelt between Sunwood's legs. 

"Alright, my girl, let's get you situated."

"I'm already dripping down my leg over here."

Elunara giggled. "Alright, hold on, and I'll help get you spread enough."

Sunwood wrapped his hands around Kimmy's waist and lifted her up. 

"Oh man, this is a big one."

Elunara slipped her fingers through Kimmy's dripping hairs and used her fingers to spread the gnome wide. Sunwood held on to Kimmy as he began to pump the tight space up and down the tip of his dick. The extreme tightness of the gnome girl had him exploding. Kimmy gasped and clung to his hands. 

"Ancestors!" He groaned. "That's near awful." He dislodged the gnome and sat her on the couch. "Don't make me do that again."

"Wouldn't dream of it." Kimmy winced. "That was just too much."

"Crossing it off your list?" Elunara laughed.

"Oh, definitely. That was worse than the Draenei man." Kimmy rubbed her crotch. "But you completed my set, even if it did take you ten years to arrange all of it."

"Come back any time." Elunara winked.

It was several days later, with Elunara leaning over a table, eyeballing a set of contracts. 

"So, what do you think?"

"I think I hate housing permits."

Varian chuckled. "Only like them when you're asking for them?"

"I hate them then. Geez, I remember why I never bothered with this stuff." She tossed her pen down. "This is giving me a headache. Who the hell draws up boundary lines through the center of someone else's house?"

"An asshole?" Varian snorted. He ran his hands over her growing belly. "How's our little girl?"

"Bored to napping." She giggled. "At least it's a break from the SI:7."

"How is that going?" He murmured. 

"I'm tearing apart our best agency. The first thing I have ever believed in... We're almost done." 

"Really?" He stroked a hand down her back. "How many?"

"Out of nearly ten thousand gents, we've arrested four hundred and seventy."

"That's a hefty amount."

"Well, it's not all corrupt." She shrugged. "Only half of them will be tried for treason, the other half only did minor favors, and even more paid him outright. Some of those that paid will go free, because at the very least, they would rather fork over hard earned money, than compromise their integrity. That counts for a lot. Some of those will still be tried for the REASON they were being blackmailed, but most won't."

"Sounds complicated."

"Part of why I don't want to stare at these stupid housing contracts." She rubbed the bridge of her nose.

"Put them aside for now."

"I'm trying to make the time." She shrugged. "This needs done, people need places to live. As you said, I have my own housing bids, and if I want THOSE handled, I need to handle everyone else's." 

"Too true." He winced. "I worry about how exhausted you've been lately."

"Because she's draining me. She's eating my energy almost as fast as I absorb it. It was slow at first, but now that she's almost seven months in the baking, she's gotten greedy."

"So, she'll be an energy creature, like you."

"At least very similar." 

"Fascinating."

Lydia yawned and stretched out. Curling up, she debated on if she should enjoy the extra sleep, or if she should... A cry had her out of bed in an instant. Making her way downstairs, she sighed at the twins. Lily's crying had Dargek crying. 

"Darn you both. I thought you were going to give me the morning." 

Plucking Lily out first, she made quick work of the disgusting diaper, before sitting the girl down in the floor and getting Dargek. Both children clean, she scooped them both up and made her way downstairs. She tucked the children into their chairs and went through the process of feeding them both.

Elunara walked in and blinked. "You're here late." 

"Eighteen months of this, and I finally get a morning to sleep in. Which is good, cause I'm a little dizzy."

"Sorry, my little kitten." Elunara kissed her temple. "If you waaaannn-- shit."

"What? What shit?" Lydia's hand flew to Elunara's belly. "You're too early!"

"Calm down. Calm down, kitten."

"Then what?"

"You're pregnant again."

"I'm..." Lydia dropped the spoon. "I'M WHAT?"

"Gods, why didn't I detect it sooner?"

"SOONER?"

"Probably because of my own pregnancy. Shit, I've been too drained lately." Elunara flopped down in a chair. "You're about three or four months... and it gets worse."

"Worse? Lydia shrank back. "How could it be WORSE?"

"Twins... AGAIN!"

Darguni dropped his axe at the scream. He shoved the door open and dropped down in front of Lydia. "What happened?"

"Tell him." Elunara sighed and rubbed her hands on her own belly.

"I'm pregnant." Lydia managed between gasps. "Twins again."

"Holy shit!" 

"You!" Lydia pointed at Elunara. "After this, I want fucking BROKEN do you understand me?"

"I'll do it without a qualm." Elunara nodded. 

"But... I was taking the stuff." Darguni frowned.

"We all were. Hell, I was!" Lydia threw her hands up.

Considering, Elunara dug out the jar. "This stuff?"

"Yeah, that stuff."

"Why did none of you tell me it had separated?"

"I thought that's just what it did." Lydia shrugged.

"Yeah, we just mixed it and used it."

Elunara smacked her forehead. "You twits."

Later, Bradly sighed. "So, they could be mine." 

"If they are, then they are." Lydia shrugged. 

"I'd be fine with it." Evelyn picked at her skirt. "I mean... it was just before you decided on me, right?"

"Honestly, if the timing fits, there's only one time that would be me."

"Doesn't matter, as they'll always be mine." Darguni grinned. "If our family can work how it does, then our children will just have to work the same way. It is hers, so it is mine."

Bradly rubbed his neck. "Funny how, originally I wanted Lydia to have my children, at all costs... now that I have Evelyn, I hope with all my heart that they're not mine."

"It just means you found true love." Lydia kissed Bradly's cheek. "However, Momma will be able to tell us. If their bodies aren't obvious, like Lily and Dargek's fangs."

"Give your belly another month or so and I'll be able to tell you in the womb." Elunara interrupted. "Speaking of Lily and Dargek, they're down for their naps."

"Thank you so much, Momma." Lydia kissed Elunara's cheek. "I hate dumping them on you."

"Nah, it's just more practice." She winked. "Susan came by and put her twins and Tilly down for their naps too, so she's watching them all while she reads."

"Alright. I won't leave her too long."

"Good girl."

"In fact, I'll head home now." She yanked Darguni by the fang and assaulted his mouth. "To keep you til tonight." She winked.

"Since when did I give birth to Lydia?" Elunara laughed.

Humming happily to herself, she ran her hands over her still mostly flat belly. "Here we go again." She laughed.

With a groan, she lifted her head and stared into the darkness. She began to fight wildly against the bonds holding her on the chair.

"Oh, chill out." A familiar voice called. "We're not going to hurt you."

"Yet." Another one joined.

"Tara? The HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?" Quietly, Lydia scratched at the chair and the ropes. "Why am I tied up like this?"

"We want to know what you did to him." Tara lit a lantern. "You were his sister one day, his fuck buddy the next."

"I LOVE him, you moron!" 

"Yeah right." She scoffed. "You love what he gave to you. No one wanted you, except maybe that bitch Elunara." 

"It's not fair!" The other voice whined. "I was SO CLOSE to what I want, and YOU had to step in the way." Minuette stepped into the light. "He told me... ten, almost eleven, years ago, that you were his SISTER. He was disgusted with the suggestion that you two would ever be together."

"I saw him throw you out of the house, and lament that his mother would be angry that he made you CRY." Tara tapped a finger on a table. "Is THAT it? Did Elunara command him?"

"Oo, that makes sense." Minuette snapped her fingers. 

"You two are completely insane!" Lydia laughed. "Oh my god, did a dose of Darguni's dick turn you loony? Did the lack of dick snap your mind? I am his WIFE. The past means nothing unless it applies to the future."

"I don't NEED Darguni's dick, he gave me one." Tara pulled the metal dick out of her pocket. "Don't believe me?" She shoved the object in Lydia's face. "I can tell by your expression that you don't. I'd tell you to feel it and see if it f--"

Lydia began to laugh. "He TOLD ME that he gave you that damned thing. By the goddess you're pathetic."

"He..." Tara blinked. "No matter, every girl in this stupid city now has a copy of this thing."

"Man, that must have cost you an awful lot of gold to have all those made." Lydia blinked.

Tara pulled a knife from her belt. "DON'T MOCK ME!" She screamed.

"Hey, chill." Minuette reached out. "We don't want to hurt her or..."

"You shut up!" Tara pointed at Minuette. "This dumb bitch took my place. TOOK IT! I was in line to have Darguni all to myself, and then SHE did whatever it is she did, and now NO ONE can have him. I am so SICK of her!"

Lydia tugged on the ropes, testing them, before continuing her assault on the ropes with her nails. 

"She took him from me too damn it! But we have to stick to the plan. He won't fuck us if she's hurt! I don't even WANT to know what Elunara would do..."

"FUCK ELUNARA!" Tara panted with rage. 

"NO! I want to fuck DARGUNI! Gods! You are the worst partner I've ever had!" Minuette crossed her arms.

Lydia froze. "Wait, you're using me as a hostage?" She blinked.

"Now she gets it." Minuette snorted.

"I'd rather just kill her." Tara growled. "Once she's out of the way, we can toss the brats and Darguni will be all ours."

"I am NOT killing a baby. Especially Elunara's grandchildren." 

"You have no spine, that's why..."

Lydia had freed herself from the ropes and had Tara by the throat. "YOU WILL LEAVE MY CHILDREN ALONE!" Her fingernails sunk into Tara's throat, and Tara began to gag, as blood poured from the wounds. 

Minuette's eyes went wide and she bolted from the house. 

Lydia released the body and stared down at her bloody fingers. She screamed.

Elunara heard the familiar scream and took off running through town, desperate to find it before it was too late. She saw Minuette run in fear and followed her back trail. She found Lydia sitting in the floor, hands in her lap, a body and a blood pool.

"What happened?"

"I killed her, Momma." Lydia looked up. "She wanted to kill my children, and I killed her first. I forgot about my nails." She held up her hands. "Am I going to prison, momma?"

"Start from the beginning." 

After everything had been cleaned up, Varian sighed. "I'd say it was self defense, given the circumstances."

"She feels so bad." Elunara sighed. "Bradly took a life at fourteen. But he's more emotionally stable. Lydia was enraged, and now she feels the guilt. It's a difficult thing." 



For The Whored: The Future: Ch. 45



Minuette jolted awake. Panic rose in her as she struggled against the bonds holding her down. She tried to scream, but there was a gag in her mouth.

"Hello, dumb bitch."

It was as if ice had been poured directly on her body. That voice gave her the chills. 

"I am so unbelievably pissed off at you." Elunara slapped her hand on Minuette's naked ass. "You've made me so DAMNED angry that I'm employing a brand of punishment that I have never used." She snapped on one of the ropes. 

Minuette struggled and fought. 

"Honey shit, you'll never get out of those. I have decided that, since cutting you apart and what I'm about to do to you amount to the same thing... I've decided I'd entertain myself and mix it up a bit. I freely admit that the last time I had you in here, gave me the idea. The big difference is... it was of your own free will. You will notice that we are not in the main area, nor am I using my couch. No, I knocked your ass out, built this little frame here, and tied you to it."

She pulled a paddle out. "Do you know WHY?" 

Minuette shook her head.

"First of all, it's sound proof. Second, I don't have to lock my family out of their house, and finally, I can keep you here as long as I want."

Minuette struggled and mumbled around the gag in her mouth.

"Aw, gee, you've gone and wet yourself. Here, let me demonstrate the other reason." She lit the runes on the floor and ceiling and Minuette was doused with water. Twirling the paddle in her hand, she smiled. "You know, some people actually PAY me to paddle them. Some people REALLY like being spanked... how about you?" She whacked Minuette on the ass. 

Minuette jolted and struggled.

"You went after my daughter." Whack. "Kidnapped her," Whack. "Tried to scare her." Whack. "And were going to blackmail my son into having sex with you." Whack." 

Tears streamed down Minuette's face.

"Tears? Already? I've barely even started. Most last longer with my dagger." Elunara spanked Minuette until both sides of her ass was red. She tossed the paddle to the side. "Your tears say no..." She reached down and slid her fingers between the folds. "But the rest of you says yes." Moving her hand away, she slipped through the damp on her fingers. "I'd say you're enjoying this." 

She picked up a tool. "Last time I had you like this, you wanted a nice little line of men fucking you. Is that your wish now?"

Minuette tried to move her head, but couldn't get far, so she mumbled around the gag.

"Well, we're not here to fulfill wishes, now are we?" She shoved the rod into Minuette's front. "I've barely had the chance to study women in this capacity before... Let's have a little fun, shall we?"

Minuette just squeaked.

Sometime later, Elunara stuck her head out of the door. "Darguni, that you?"

"Yeah, Momma?" 

"Can you bring me your copy of your dick?"

"Uhh... Yeah, sure." 

He walked into the room where Elunara was, and blinked. "The hell is THIS bitch doing here?"

Elunara held out a hand. "Punishment. Give."

Passing over the metal dick, he considered. "She's a complete mess." He ran a finger over a cut.

"Eh, she'll heal. Eventually." Elunara moved around. "Strangely, by my best guess, she still wants you."

Minuette whimpered and struggled. 

He stooped down and put his hand under the night elf's chin. "Listen to me, you filthy bitch, and listen well. I don't want you. I will NEVER want you. If you come near my wife and children ever again, I will slit your worthless throat. Do you understand me?"

She tried to shrink back.

"I think you finally do." He slapped her. "That's for Lydia. Anything else Momma wants to do to you... well, that's not my problem is it?" He stood up. "Why did you want the dick?"

Elunara shoved it into Minuette's front and had the woman gasping. "After a little bit of conversation, I discovered that she'd planned on having both you and your father fucking her at the same time."

"Oh, ew." Darguni winced. "It's bad enough I fucked someone with my brother."

Elunara shrugged. "Jordan and Grogek are bothers, and they've figured out a pace for when they're both at me. It's adorable really." She shifted the sloppy metal dick up and shoved it into Minuette's ass. 

The smaller Night Elf struggled against her bonds. 

Pulling another out of her kit, she shoved it into Minuette's front. Taking a set of leather straps, she attached them to the dicks. "Unless you plan on watching me fuck her, you might want to leave. 

Darguni wandered over and leaned down. He watched the pair of dicks go in and out. "Now, that's kind of brutal."

"Minuette will learn to leave my family alone." Elunara bucked her hips back and forth as the dicks on the straps moved in and out. "Because of who I am, I can tell you, that she's actually enjoyed it. Oh, I've made her hurt, believe me... but she's pumping so much lust at me, it's like a meal on a shelf, I swear." 

"Now I know that I know how that looks... I'm going to go fuck my own wife." Darguni cackled.

"Have fun." Elunara winked.

The following day, Elunara dragged Minuette down to the docks. "And fucking STAY gone this time."

"Forgive me, Goddess Elunara." Minuette shivered. "Your anger is never matched."

Elunara shoved her onto the boat. "GET!"

Minuette landed on her face, before scrambling up and hiding in the cabin.

One of the deckhands stopped to watch. "What did you do to her?"

"What I'll do to you if you let her come back."

The man saluted. "Forgive me!"

Elunara made her way down to the training yard. Stepping behind Lydia, she sat down and pulled the woman into her lap. "It's ok, little kitten."

"I killed her, Momma." Lydia sniffled. "I was just so angry." 

"I know, sweetheart, I know." She kissed the top of Lydia's head. "You didn't mean it, but you were just trying to protect what's yours."

"While I was tied up, I used my nails to cut myself free." 

"Amazing."

"But when she said she wanted to kill my children... I forgot about the nails, I just wanted to strangle her. Even then, I didn't want her... dead."

"I know." She cuddled the weeping girl. "It's hard to deal with, I know."

"Did you..."

"Well, no. I was broken, remember? Even now, I wonder why I never felt... anything."

"Oh." Lydia sighed and stared at her hands. "I have to be careful with these horrible things."

"Tried cutting them?"

"They grow back." She whispered. "Cut them in the morning, they're back to this length by lunch."

"Freaky." 

Lydia slid out of Elunara's lap. "Why did that turn on so many men?"

Elunara choked. "Seriously?"

"The lust..." She shivered. 

"Yeah, I felt the weird little boost, but only you can pin point the worst of it."

"She was crazy, momma. The longer she talked, the weirder she got. She was pumping rage at me."

"Which is why you snapped. Remember why you snapped last time? And here she had you confined so you took the full brunt of it."

"Minuette started out on Tara's side, but got fearful in a hurry."

"Well, know that she knows the true meaning of fear, she won't be back."

"I don't doubt it." Lydia shuddered.

Elunara made her way up to the Keep. 

"How's Lydia?"

"Coping." She put her head on Varian's shoulder. "Better than I hoped, actually."

He wrapped his arms around her. "Well, she is YOUR daughter after all."

"That she is." Leaning against him, she sighed and rubbed her belly. "I hope my next daughter is just as smart and resourceful as my other two, and less of a pain in the ass as my other adopted daughter."

"How is Tina?"

"Better. She works for Zelinnia now." 

"I've seen her running things back and forth."

"She rather likes being the secretary to the secretary of the kingdom."

"That's good. Any other news of the rest of my extended family? I rarely see them or get a chance to speak with them when I do."

"Let's see..." Elunara tapped a finger to her chin. "Grogek is working his trainees near to death and I worry for him. Jordan is the happiest I've ever seen him, mostly because it's not him in some silly plot or another... Tulani is trying to get pregnant..."

"Stop. You fixed her?"

"As fixed as someone in her condition could get. I practically regrew the thing and cleared out any damaged tissue."

"Who will be the father?"

"Jordan."

Varian's eyes went wide, but he stopped and considered. "Makes the most amount of sense."

"That it does."

"Gingy is happily making clothes, and recently asked Tulani to design her wedding gown. She's marrying a soldier by the name of Warren."

"I find it somewhat hilarious that you consider her in your family now."

"Tulani adopted her, so she is mine by proxy. Also, she calls me Aunt. I find it adorable."

"Go on."

"Susan is having the time of her life, having three toddlers to shuffle around. Thankfully, Chrissy, Jenny, and Tina are all helping her out when they can."

"Also adorable."

"Ever since I had it out with Mr. Masters, Lulu has stopped trying to get you to disown her and is flourishing in her studies of the arcane. A little weak on frost, but her abilities in the shadow arts has Janella endlessly impressed. Lulu hates that. Once she's free of her warlock studies, she refuses to practice. I don't blame her, but it frustrates Janella."

"I wouldn't argue with it either." He murmured. 

"Bradly is madly in love with Evelyn and can't wait for their wedding next month."

"I'll borrow your... funny how that works. After all his time spent chasing Lydia..."

"Oh, Lydia is getting the hang of the twins and is also getting help from our friends... that and she's pregnant again."

"Wait, what?"

"Twins. Funny, huh?"

"Next time lead with that!" Varian smacked a hand to his forehead. "Double twins, oh, man."

"And a request for an immediate breaking at first opportunity." 

"So, between you and her..."

"Well I've got two months to work. She's got about four... but yeah, more baby hell at our house."

"I would hope that Emaline spend a measure of time here."

"Believe me, she will." She brushed her lips against his.

He wrapped his hands around her belly. "Mine."

She leaned back against his chest. "Yes, yours."

"If I had your drawing ability, I'd be going nuts trying to capture that."

"You can always borrow one of those silly cameras." She laughed. "What are you doing up here, Sugarbutt?"

"They said you came up this way. I need you." Zelinnia sighed.

"For?"

"Talk."

"Alright, I get the hint." Elunara untangled herself from Varian. "My house or yours?"

"Yours."

Once they got in Elunara's house, she plopped down on the couch. "What's up?"

Zelinnia climbed in her lap. "Things are worse than ever in my house. Both children are pissed at each other for falsely accusing the other about the stolen object, Abigail is refusing to even LOOK at her father, and Johnathan has locked himself in his office."

"I'm so sorry."

"I just wanted a piece of sanity before I lost mine completely." She sighed. "I just don't know what to DO!"

"I'm sorry, sweetie, I don't either." Elunara cuddled Zelinnia. "We'll think of something, bring them around to sanity."

"Abigail is my biggest concern at the moment."

Elunara sighed. "How much of the incident do you remember, or were told?"

"Not much. Johnathan doesn't talk about it, he gets upset."

"Well, the kid had nearly every child in this city under his control. He commanded you to fire on Renwa, but you fought it and fought hard. You never got a cast off. When he turned instead to Abigail, she fired, but never at full strength. I think she fought it by going for a weaker spell. She never did anything bad enough to hurt. Yeah, the stunner spells wore him down, but how injured WAS he?"

"Not."

"I've heard all about Abigail from Lulu. She's a gifted student and very powerful. If she hadn't fought, she might have killed her father. As much as she has been angry with him... she loves him more." 

"Gods, I've started to wonder if she was even capable of loving her father."

"She loves him; we've just got to show the both of them."

"ENTER!"

Elunara pushed open the door. "Renwa, we need to talk."

Taking a deep breath, Renwa knocked on Abigail's door.

"Come in!"

He pushed the door open. "Hey."

"Go away!" Abigail buried her face back into her pillow.

Tamping down on the crush of rejection, he steeled himself against the heart break. "Sweetheart, we need to talk."

"No."

"Yes." He sat down in her desk chair. "I know you tried to protect me."

Abigail's head shot up. "What?"

"Elunara told me how that boy ordered you to kill me, and even against powerful runes, was able to reduce your damage to simple stunner spells."

"I... I did?"

He nodded. "You tried to protect me, even when your mind was controlled."

"I didn't know that." She whispered.

"Sweetheart, have you been crying?"

"I... No."

Leaning forward, he brushed his thumb against her cheek. "I'm so sorry you've been so miserable."

"It's..." She hiccupped. "It's not like that."

"Yes, it is." He sighed and straightened up. "You've been so angry and miserable and my actions haven't made anything better." Closing his eyes, he sighed. "I should have trusted you more." He opened his eyes and stared at her. "Ever since the incident with the barracks, I lost a great deal of respect for you and have treated you unfairly. You were put up to a heinous act, and though I have every right to be angry with you for actually doing it... I know what it's like to be coerced into doing something you shouldn't. That sometimes, the threat of punishment is no worse than not having the respect of the person you admire.

Tina's actions were stupid, and her pressuring you into the crime was awful. However, everything after is my fault. I held your actions against you, and as such, it probably did start to look as if I valued your brother more than you, and for that I'm sorry."

She sat up. "You keep taking his side." She sniffled.

"Because I believed his judgment to be clearer than yours." Renwa raked his fingers through his hair. "That, and one other thing."

"What other thing?" 

"I have a special ability to make him confess." Renwa shot a grin. "I put my hand on his shoulder, stare into his eyes, and he just can't go against me."

"Really?" Abigail gasped. "That explains..."

"I've never used it on you."

"No, you haven't." She bit her lip. "I don't... Well, I don't really "respect" Tina all that much. I thought I was proving myself. That..." Abigail sighed. "It's stupid."

"Tell me."

"Well, Tina's mother is Elunara... even when she doesn't claim the woman as her mother, she still is. I wanted to prove that, the queen's daughter can't get in "anywhere" but the High Admiral's can."

Renwa blinked. "You're jealous of Elunara?"

"A little." Abigail ducked her head.

"You silly girl." Renwa chuckled. "The whole world is jealous of Elunara."

"Even you?"

"Especially me. I used to be her commanding officer, now she's MINE!" 

"Oh, Daddy!" Abigail giggled.

"You haven't called me that in ages." He murmured.

"I'm sorry I was so angry." She sighed. "It's hurt so much that you seem to always take Nara's side in everything."

"I'm sorry, sweetheart. I'll try harder to be fair."

"And I'll try to stay out of proving contests." She snorted.

"Are we clear?"

"Yeah, I'd say so."

"Can I get a hug?"

Throwing her arms around his neck, she laughed. "Of course."



For The Whored: The Future: Ch. 46



Elunara dropped her head on her desk. She was completely exhausted. Of ten thousand, four hundred and ninety seven agents, she had already signed the execution warrant for three hundred and fifty two of them. Another Two hundred and twenty seven of them were in the stockades... and twelve of them just needed to be told that they were being blackmailed over nothing. Only three hundred agents were actually in Jameson's little tally packet, but after full case review...

"Enter!"

Mathias walked in. 

"Please give me good news."

"Of the fifteen hundred agents I have already gone through, only thirty five of them were guilty of something sinister."

"Oh, thank the gods."

"I've picked out another fifteen hundred to work through."

"Good, with the three of us working on case review, we should have our agents sort--" She put a hand to her hip. "Not NOW Emaline!"

"Whatever is the matter?" Mathias was at her side in an instant. 

"Emaline wants to be born NOW!" Elunara gasped. "Shit, I'm tapped of energy! I don't... GAH!" She struggled to stand. "I need the yard if I'm to handle the rest. Help me!"

Mathias yanked her arm over his neck and helped her down to the training yard. 

She held up her free hand. "I NEED YOUR ENERGY!" 

All attention turned to Elunara, and many just outright knelt down and held out their hands. "We hear you, our goddess!" They all cried.

Taking a deep breath, she eased her own contractions. "Help me to Ina."

"At once."

Elunara climbed up on a table, before slicing herself open with her dagger. Ina snatched the dagger as Elunara blacked out.

Varian shoved his way through the crowd. "PART AT ONCE!" He cried. All jumped to the side, and let him pass into the healer building. "Where?"

Mathias just pointed. 

Ina wiped her hands on a rag. "You're just in time." Tia placed the infant into Varian's arms, while Ina went back to healing Elunara. After the wound was sealed, she brought Elunara out of her sleep. "You heal the rest."

"Right." Elunara summoned her glow and directed her energy into her own belly. All at once, the wound healed in both parts, returning Elunara to her original state.

"She's so beautiful." Varian murmured.

"Let me see our child." Elunara held up her hands. "Oh, how curious. Human skin tone, elf ears and eyes. She could pass for a blood elf." She cuddled the infant. When Emaline began to cry, Elunara switched to nursing.

Varian grinned. "Mine."

"Yes, yours." She winked. She shuffled the infant to the other side.

He leaned down and kissed her. "Let's go show the world."

They stood in the throne room of the Keep, to standing room only. Emaline was wrapped in a blanket and blissfully napping.

"I now present to you, Princess Emaline Wyrnn."

Afterward, she laid Emaline in the crib. "Such a tiny thing against all of this grandeur."

"She'll never want for anything."

"Like my own kids did?" She winked.

"I didn't mean to offend..."

"I'm just teasing, my love." She kissed his cheek. 

"My little girl."

At the knock on the door, both looked over. "May I see her?" Anduin smiled. "I'd like to get to know my little sister, if it's alright."

"Of course." 

Varian grinned. "It would please me endlessly."

"I can't BELIEVE this!" Lydia sat on the hill with Darguni.

"Well, by my estimation, Lily and Dargek will be two when they're born..."

"ARGH!" Lydia yanked at her hair. "I was thinking... five, maybe six? So they could help out."

"It is what it is, my love." He buried his face in her hair. 

"I won't lie; I hope they're not Bradly's."

"I don't blame you." He sighed. "I love my brother, but if he's marrying someone else and forswearing you off, then it would be an awkward thing."

"I agree."

The man in question was sitting by Portal Lake, Evelyn in his lap. She cuddled up against him. "I can't believe it... we're getting married next week." She giggled.

"Mm, I can't wait." He buried his face in her hair. 

"Your mother's baby is so cute." 

"Yeah, isn't she? I can't wait until we can have our own." He winked. 

She turned deep crimson. "Oh, YOU!" With a little sigh, she picked at her dress. "What of Lydia's?"

"If it's mine, it's mine." He shrugged. "We can't take it back, we can only move forward. So our family will be a little strange. We LIKE strange around here."

The following day, Elunara laid Emaline down with the other napping children. "How goes it?"

"Momma, can we try testing again?" Lydia sighed. "I'm anxious to know."

"Alright, alright. It's been a few weeks since I last tried." She waved to Darguni. 

He jogged over. "What's up?"

"We're going to test you again. Lay your hand on her belly." When he complied, Elunara pulled the line of information from the pair of children and trailed to Darguni's hand. "We have a double match." 

"Yes!" Darguni pumped his fist in the air. "All mine!" He picked Lydia up and twirled her.

"You moron!" Lydia turned and barfed. 

"Shit! I'm sorry! You haven't had half of the problems that you did the first time."

Bradly came over. "What's going on?"

"The twins belong to ME!" Darguni wrapped an arm around Bradly's neck. 

"Oh, thank the Gods." Bradly sighed. "Now that I have Evelyn..."

"Where is she?" Lydia wiped her mouth with a damp napkin. 

"She got a job at the jeweler's. Seems she's got quite the eye for gems and settings."

"That's amazing." She clapped her hands. "I had hoped to get her singing with me, but this is even better."

Darguni made his way back to his section of the yard. "Hey, Dad?"

Grogek grunted.

"They're mine."

A grin kept across Grogek's face. "More grandchildren for me." He coughed. "They would have been mine anyway..."

"No, you're correct. It was an odd situation, but it's righted itself. This is just better."

"That it is, son." Grogek whacked Darguni on the shoulder. "I'm proud of you." 

"Thanks, dad." He watched the trainees for awhile. "How about Mom's new baby?"

"She's beautiful, just like her mother." Grogek grinned again. "I am, admittedly, disappointed that she will be spending the majority of her time up at the keep for the next few months, but I understand it completely. Varian should have his time with his infant daughter, and I am grateful to them both that we get what time we do in the mean time."

"Yeah... Our family dynamic is fluid enough for such things."

"That it is."

"I'm being called back."

"Go to her."

"What's up?"

"I forgot to tell you." Elunara grinned. "You're getting a pair of daughters."

"Oh, wow." He put his hands on Lydia's belly. "My little girls." He whispered.

"Man, three girls. Get out while you can." Warren snorted.

"What are you doing over here?" Darguni pushed Warren's face.

"Being nosey. Also, I wanted to know if I could hold your kids..."

"Whatever for?" Lydia blinked.

"I'm pregnant, and he wants practice." Gingy interrupted.

"You are?" Lydia climbed on to the platform and threw her arms around Gingy. "I'm so happy for you!"

"Yeah, Tia told me this morning. I'm about two and a half months at this point. Tia's a sensitive." She shrugged. "Missed my period, you know how it goes."

"Sort of." Lydia giggled. "I'm having twin girls!"

"OH THE DRESSES!" Gingy squealed. 

"I know!"

"Oh, Goddess, I might run..." Elunara rubbed her temple. "Hey, idiots, don't wake the..." She sighed as Emaline began to cry. "Babies." She scooped her child up as Susan and Lydia began to comfort their own. Darguni and Bradly snagged babies and began to croon and calm the pack. Even Warren plucked up Tilly and made silly faces at the child. 

Elunara sat down and began the process of nursing. "That's my pretty little thing." She murmured. 

"Momma?" 

"Yes, Lulu?"

"Can I hold my sister?" 

"After I'm done."

Lulu leaned over. "She looks so different from the other babies."

"Because she's half night elf, half human." 

"I know that." Lulu rubbed her fingers on Emaline's hand.

A first break, Nara jogged over. "Hi, Lulu. Whatcha doin'?"

"I wanted to see my sister." 

"Yeah, she's cute." He tried to peer over the edge of the blankets. "So... what do you think about having kids?"

"Eventually, it might be fun." Lulu smiled down at the infant. "She's so pretty." 

"Yeah..." He sighed.

William sat down next to Lulu. "Can I hold her?" He looked up at Elunara.

Nara narrowed his eyes, but said nothing.

"Sure." 

Lulu carefully transferred the infant to William's arms. "There you go."

"She's kind of neat. I like her big ears." 

"What do you think of having children?" Lulu ran her fingers across the infant's forehead.

"I guess..." He blushed at Lulu. "If my wife wants them, she can have them."

"That's a good policy to have." Lulu laughed.

"Your father said the same thing." Elunara knelt down. "When Chrissy wanted babies, Gerald did everything he could to get her one. When I handed you over, he told her that it was her decision. In the end though, he fell in love with you near immediately."

"Really?"

"Really, really." Gerald grinned up. "Without hesitation, I let your mother have the baby she so desired. In the end, I got the best part of the deal, because I got a wife AND a son." He held out his hands and took the infant. "One day, son... I hope you find your own Chrissy, and give me grandkids... just not any time soon." He jerked a finger at William.

William went brilliant red. "Yes, father."

After a moment, he passed Emaline back to Elunara. "Glad I only had one though." 

"Coward." Elunara snorted.

"How many people live in your house NOW?" Gerald grinned.

"Too damned many." Elunara snorted. 

"NARA RENWA!"

Nara shot straight up and froze. 

"I said take FIVE not FIFTEEN, get your ass back over here!"

"Yes, sir!" Nara jogged back.

"I don't give a shit who your father is, I don't make exceptions for my own son, I'm not making exceptions for you!" Jordan growled.

"I never asked for any." Nara muttered; his face on fire.

"What was that?"

"Nothing, sir!" Nara went back to training.

Later, Elunara pulled Jordan to the side. "You WERE a little harsh."

"The boy needs discipline!"

"Fuck that. The commander needs to stop being so protective of his daughter."

"He's SIXTEEN! I know what boys of that age want!"

"Oh, please. Even if that WAS his issue, Lulu isn't buying it." She giggled. "In fact, she's completely oblivious."

"What?"

"She told me so herself... she thinks that William is her little brother, and Nara her cousin."

"Oof."

"I asked her. She even TOLD William that he was her little brother and that she has to protect him."

"Oh, ow. That had to hurt."

"What I do find interesting... is Lydia's assessment."

"Dare I ask?"

"William is crushing pretty hard... Nara tripped over into love."

Jordan went sheet white. "What?"

"From her point of view..." Elunara's voice was low and reflective. "Nara would give his life to protect Lulu." 

"He would?"

"That's what Lydia reads. He loves her, he wants to protect her; he's waiting, ever so patiently, for her and just her."

"Oh, Gods. Do we have another Bradly?"

"Maybe."

Bradly and Evelyn stood, hand in hand at the altar. Her family had come in from Duskwood to attend the wedding. After the wedding, Bradly and Evelyn made their way up to the top floor bedroom. 

Evelyn walked over to a window and gasped. "Oh, wow, this view is amazing!"

"Yes, it is." He grinned at her. "And I plan on getting my hands on that amazing view." He winked.

Biting her lip, she blushed. "Oh!" 

He brushed his fingers across her cheeks as he pulled her to his mouth. Carefully, with expert skill, he danced his lips with hers. His hands trailed across her shoulders, down her arms and across her hips. Sliding his hands back, he found the zipper to her dress and pulled it down. With soft and slow movements, he disrobed her. 

Unable to help himself, he whistled at the white lacy bits that covered her body. "Tulani?"

"Uh huh." She fidgeted. "I had no idea how I would survive this silly thing. It makes all of my movements tickle."

"Is that so?" He tugged her over and captured her mouth. "Then it stays." He purred

"Oh my!"

He danced her back to the bed and laid her delicately on it, before yanking his own clothes off and tossing them to the side.

She stared in rapt amazement at his hardened dick. "That... goes in me?" She squeaked.

"Beautifully." He whispered, as he climbed in between her legs. "I'll make it beautiful." Bending down, he brushed his lips across hers. "Because you are mine and I want everything to be beautiful for you." 

"Oh, Bradly!" 

He pressed deeper into the kiss, mating mouths together, before he trailed kisses down her chin and jaw, working his way to that crease in her neck. Exploring her neck and shoulder, he delighted in the noises she was making as she grabbed at him. Across the silky fabric, he worked down to her breasts, teasing and pinching the nipples through the fabric.

She writhed and gasped as he kissed her belly. She squirmed under his attentions. "Too much!" She cried.

"Forgive me, my darling, for I need to explore all of you to understand how to best please you."

"Oh, but you're doing wonderfully." She gasped, clinging to the bed sheets with desperation. 

"There's more to come." He purred, licking his way down her belly to the soft hairs below. 

"What are you--?" She gasped and grabbed his hair when he licked her flat against the panties she wore. "Bradly!"

He tugged them to the side and licked the delicious pink center. He drove her wild with his tongue and fingers pressed into her. Moving upwards, he adjusted himself and pressed the tip of his dick against that open wetness. "Here I go." He whispered; sliding in, inch by glorious inch, until his erection filled that clamping hot space. Gentle as a whisper, he slid in and out of her, as she clung to him, gasping and calling his name. He increased his speed, until he was pumping in and out of her with a fury he had never known before.

When at last she cried out with the force of her orgasm, they were both shocked by her sudden transformation into the furry worgen shape. 

He let go of himself and lay on top of her. "This is new." He ran his hands over her soft and furry body. 

"Oh, Bradly, I'm so sorry!" She put her hand over her face. "I'm so embarrassed."

"Why? I kind of like it." He wiggled. "You're so soft and pretty."

"Really?" 

"Always." He grinned down at her. "We're going to have to play with this. I like the feel of your beautiful black fur against my body. There's a book down stairs about using different materials on your skin... this isn't just workable, this is gorgeous."

"You mean it?" She whispered. 

"Very much so." 

"Oh, Bradly." She flung her arms around him. 

"I will ask that you watch the claws." He winced. "Those suckers are pointy."

"OH NO!" She jolted out of bed. "I didn't scratch you, did I?"

"Nah, just poked. Like thorns on a rose bush. We'll just have to be careful to get our flowers." He winked.



For The Whored: The Future: Ch. 47



Emaline was nearly four months old when Elunara finally finished reviewing the last set of case and agent records.

Mathias set a bundle down. "They're all clear."

"Thank the Goddess." She sighed. 

"Aren't you thanking yourself?"

She burst out in laughter. "I think I am."

"Elunara the mother, who laughs and smiles... It still strikes me as weird."

"The best KIND of weird." With a happy sigh, she scooped the sleeping child out of the small crib she kept in her office. "I used to think that I'd hate this kind of stuff. Now, I'd be lost without my children and family."

"I like you like this." He sat on the edge of the desk. "If you told me that the completely crazy night elf standing in front of me on that first day was going to turn out like you have..." He shrugged. 

"Thanks, dad." She snorted.

"That might be the weirdest part." He laughed. 

"Want to hold your newest grandchild?" She winked.

"That I do." He held out his hands. "I missed my own children growing up, but I have my grand children. The twins turned fifteen recently. Mary is a riot too. She's nine."

"I know." Elunara winked. "I keep tabs on my nieces and nephews. That means Jenny's children, as well as Chrissy's and Zelinnia's."

"Yes, yes, I remember." He laughed. "She's so pretty..." He murmured.

"That she is. I can't wait to see if my vision matches up with the reality."

"Vision?"

"Sometimes, when I touch her, I can see her as she will be. Occasionally, I see her as an adult, holding down the throne as Queen."

"Amazing."

"I could see Lulu; I've seen glimmers of others. It's a fascinating ability to have." 

"Any word from our escapee?"

"I've been getting notifications. Apparently, he moves frequently, stops rarely, and has led them to a number of small pocket groups. No leader so far."

"Would it be too much to ask you to keep me apprised?"

"Of course not. I'm still using you." She stuck out her tongue.

Afterwards, Elunara made her way into Tulani's studio. "How's my girl and her baby?"

Tulani giggled. "We're lovely, actually."

"Couple more months, and I'll be able to tell you the gender."

"Oh, I so hope it's a girl."

"Just so you can put her in five hundred dresses."

"You know me." Tulani winked. "Can I hold Emaline?"

"Of course." Elunara tugged the baby out of the sling and passed her over.

Lydia waddled her way down to the training yard. She was already two weeks further than the first two, but she felt so much bigger. Speaking of, the twins were currently passed out in the stroller. As she walked, she sang. By time she reached the training yard, she was singing so loudly, that all turned and looked at her. Blushing deeply, she pushed the stroller in place before sitting down next to Susan.

"You're late." Susan winked. "Had to pee?"

"Twice! I was surprised I had any left in me."

"Sweetie, did you know your skirt is wet?"

"It is?" She blinked down. "The hell? Where in the world...?" Wincing, she swore. "I think my water broke!"

"BRADLY! DARGUNI!" Susan called

"What's wrong?" Bradly jogged over.

"Run to the SI:7, Lydia needs Elunara."

Darguni made his way over. "What's wrong?"

"The babies..." Lydia whimpered. 

"I have the children, get her to Ina's!" Susan clapped her hands. 

Darguni scooped Lydia up and ran. "Geez, can our children never wait the full nine months?"

"Good question." She gasped. "Gods, I forgot how to ease the cramps like momma showed me."

"Just work on breathing."

"Trying!"

He laid her gently on the bed. "Tia's here, she can help."

"I've been training with your mother." Tia laid her hand on Lydia's belly. "See?"

"Ahh, don't stop."

"Where is she?" Elunara bolted into the building. 

"In here, Momma." Darguni waved a hand. 

After a bit of work, Elunara held out a newborn to Darguni. "One fang, same as yours."

"Her complexion is the same as mine as well." He laid the child on the table. "No deformities."

"Here comes number two." She passed the newborn to Tia and began her work sealing Lydia up.

Darguni ran his finger under the gum of the new one. "Tiny fang. Like, barely there. But she has Lydia's complexion. No other deformities."

"Thank the Gods." Elunara mumbled.

Lydia moaned and put a hand to her head. "Momma?"

"I'm all done and we have your babies." 

"Did you break me?"

"Sorry sweetie, I dare not risk your ability to feed the babies. We'll just have to wait."

Lydia sighed and laid back. "Alright. Where are my babies?"

"Here's the first out." Darguni passed a newborn into Lydia's arms. 

"This will be Wenrietta." Lydia cuddled the baby. "Nothing seems wrong with her, just the usual fang." 

"Nothing is wrong with either of them." Darguni kissed Lydia's temple. 

"Praise Elune." Lydia sighed, as she took the other one. "And you will be my little Lani."

"Lani?" Darguni gasped.

"Yes."

"Tulani will be thrilled." Elunara kissed Lydia's temple. 

"So many babies in this house." They were back home, and Elunara laughed at the bedroom filled with children. 

"Today, not only did Dargek, Lily, Grogash, and Mimsy turn two today, but Wenrietta and Lani were born today. Six children, one birthday..."

"Imagine the sleepovers." Elunara laughed. After a moment, she slapped a hand over her face. "Oh GODS, imagine the sleepovers!!"

Lydia giggled. "Except, you'd have three mothers to help." She tapped a finger to her chin. "Then again, I doubt all of these children would have too many extra friends. I would imagine that they all would share a fair amount."

"This is true." Elunara shrugged. "How does it feel... to have so many?"

"I'm freaking out over here."

Darguni chuckled and wrapped his arms around her. "I'm here."

"That you are." She brushed her lips against his.

"You know..." Elunara grinned. "I can watch a pair of newborns..."

Darguni scooped Lydia up. "Thanks, Momma." 

In the bedroom, Darguni tossed Lydia on the bed and she giggled wildly. "Someone's in a mood."

"I want to thank my wife for giving me so many children to enjoy."

"Is that a fact?"

"That it is." He climbed onto the bed and captured her mouth with his own. 

His fingers found the edge of her shirt and slipped up under. Slowly, he tugged her shirt up, exposing her breasts. With a grin, he gently licked a nipple with the flat of his tongue. She groaned and wiggled under him. After tugging the shirt off of her, he tossed it to the side and cupped her breasts. "I love how large they are. Even more so while you nurse." His thumbs stroked the nipples.

"Oh, you! They're so sensitive!" She squirmed.

"Sorry, my love." He kissed the tops of her breasts. "I'll be gentle." Moving up, he captured her mouth once more. His hands caressed and cupped her breasts, as he moved his mouth in time to hers. Gently, softly, they danced their lips together, inserting tongues and tangling their flavors together. Eventually, he moved down her chin, across her jaw, and to her neck. Gentle kisses trailing along as he moved. 

She writhed underneath him, whispering words of love and affection, of pleasure and release. Her hands came up behind his head and tugged on that ponytail she had given him. Even as he pressed his mouth to her breasts, she held on to him.

He ran his hand over that faint scar on her belly. "This is how you gave me children." He murmured

"For you." She whispered.

Caressing with his lips, he moved his way down her tiny body and to those soft curls beneath. Slipping his fingers through the hairs, he was pleased to discover how wet she was. He licked her flat and she gasped and scrambled to hang on to him. He buried his tongue and lips into those slicked folds, loving how she writhed. When he used the tip if his fang on the inside of her thigh, she near spasmed out of his grasp. Chuckling, he returned to her wet center, and slipped a finger into her. In and out he pumped his finger as his tongue worked on that top part. When she clamped down, he just buried his tongue as deep as he could manage. 

After waiting her out, he lifted himself above her and smiled. "Gods, you're beautiful."

"Oh, Darguni..."

He went for her mouth again, tormenting her with the flavors of his mouth. Ever so slowly, he began to push himself into that dripping heat. When at last he was buried deep into her, he lay there for the moment, just to enjoy the feel of her under him. When she began to whisper words of love and devotion, he began to move his hips. Together they rocked in and out, up and down, moving ever faster, as desperation took them to where they wished to go. 

She cried out his name and raked her nails down his back. He roared with the pain of it, even as he released into her clamping dark. 

They lay together, gasping. 

"Oh Gods, Darguni, I'm so sorry." She ran her hand over his back.

He grinned. "And here I thought Bradly got all of the cool scars."

The next day, Darguni pushed one stroller, while Lydia pushed the other. "Ugh, four at once, I'm going to go mad."

"We won't let you."

Lydia turned. "Chrissy!"

"Don't forget me." Jenny giggled. "Double twins? I thought mine were bad."

Darguni laughed. "I leave you in good hands."

Chrissy took hold of Darguni's stroller. "With our kids being teenagers and mostly out of our hair..."

"We figured we'd give you as much assistance as you need." Jenny giggled again. "Well, I have Mary, but she's doing well in her priest training."

Susan sat on the platform, her own twins napping with their oldest sister. With a sigh, she watched Grogek put his trainees through their paces. She sat and she worried for her husband.

When the trainee missed his mark, Grogek growled. "Do it over!"

"Sir... I..."

"NOW!"

"Yes, sir." He tried to repeat, but stumbled.

"DO IT OVER!"

"I'm trying."

"Not hard enough." 

"I'm giving all I have!" The man growled.

Grogek knocked the man backwards. "NO YOU'RE NOT!" 

"YES I AM!"

He summoned his axe. "You want to go against ME?"

The trainee's eyes went wide and he scrambled backwards.

"GROGEK, STOP!" Susan flung herself between the man and Grogek's axe.

Grogek dismiss his axe mid-swing. "Susan?"

"Grogek, stop this. This isn't you; this isn't how you do things."

"Susan, I..."

"Look at yourself, look at your men. You don't use corporal punishment. You don't attack your own men. Look at them," She gestured. "Look at what you're doing. You've been torturing them for months on end. You have to let Tabitha go. It's one thing to strengthen them, to push them to their limit. It's another thing altogether, to exhaust them past the point of usefulness."

He shook his head. "What have I done?"

"I thought I was dead." The soldier whispered.

"No one has gone against you, because they're all too afraid to tell you."

"But you're not." He whispered. 

"Because I know you'd never hurt me." She reached up and put her hands on either side of his face. "I trust you completely." When he spoke in orcish, she just smiled. "There's my gentle husband."

He turned to the trainee on the ground. "You're free to go. In fact, all of my trainees are free to take the week off."

"If you don't mind, sir..." The man stood up. "I'd be happy with a day of rest. A week is just too long without daily work."

Grogek grinned. "THAT'S the attitude I like to hear, Martin."

"It took me four seasons to even get chosen, I'm not giving up now." He rubbed his neck. "The training is rough, but that's what we signed up for." 

"Forgive me for getting out of control." Grogek put a hand on Martin's shoulder.

"You're forgiven. Your wife is amazing for what she did."

"Oh, don't mind me." Susan blushed and looked at her shoes.

Martin put a hand on her shoulder. "No, don't do that. You could have been hurt."

"Grogek will never hurt me. I trust that." 

Grogek scooped her up. "He's right. Let me show you... my appreciation." Looking around, he growled. 

"What are you standing around for?"

"Oh, the babies!" Susan pointed.

"I've got them." Elunara waved. "Go maul each other." 

Several days later, Elunara called Gerald into her office at SI:7

"Man, it's weird to see you in that chair, and Mathias nowhere to be found."

"That it is." Elunara grinned. "I called you in here today to say that I've reviewed your request for retirement."

"And?"

"I have a counter offer."

"A counter offer?" He blinked.

"I want you to be my right hand man."

"You... want me?"

"Sure, the pay is lousy, but you'll never be sent out again, and you'll be supporting me when I need it."

"You want me to support you?" He blinked. "Mathias didn't have a--"

"Actually, he did. He had several. How do you think we were summoned?"

"That's actually a valid point." Gerald scratched his neck.

"Gerald, I could have anybody in this entire organization, and if you turn me down, I have a list of people to call on. However, I will only accept the very best and you ARE my best. Not to mention how well we work together. You've supported me for damned near twenty years, and when I needed you for the Jameson project, you were there for me. I NEED you."

"I'll never be sent back out?"

"Unless you want to."

"Hell, the main reason I was quitting was to be with my wife and son. I'll do it."

Elunara let out a breath. "Thank the Goddess, I was a little worried."

"Aren't you thanking yourself?"

"Oh, hush you."



For The Whored: The Future: Ch. 48



"Alright, class. Today we move you up to a higher level of magic. Today we will be summoning and controlling a succubus." Janella looked around the room. "Lulu, how about we start with you?"

"No!" Lulu gasped. "I won't!"

"Come now, with your nature it will be easy for you to do."

"No! I can't! I won't!" 

"Lulu!"

"NEVER!" Lulu turned ran out of the room.

"Oh, dear..."

Lulu ran all the way home, ignoring all else. She broke through the front door without seeing, and headed directly to her bedroom. 

Elunara followed shortly after. "Lulu, Sweetest, are you ok?"

"I can't do it, momma." She sniffled. "I just couldn't do it."

"Do what?"

"I couldn't betray daddy like that." 

"Like what?" He stuck his head in the bedroom door. He was half dressed, but concern for his daughter was more important.

"Madam Janella wanted me to summon a succubus. I can't do it, Daddy. I can't hurt you like that."

"Sweetheart..." He sat on the bed.

"I hate being a warlock. I just don't want to do it anymore." She wiped her tear streaked cheeks.

"So quit." Elunara shrugged. 

"You mean it?" Lulu sniffled.

"You were only put in warlock training in order to control your magical out bursts. I think you have those well in hand at this point. I'd say it's time to quit and focus on your mage training. That's going well, yes?"

"Oh, yes." She breathed. "Ever since you got Mr. Masters to stop calling me princess, the whole class is so much easier."

"Then do that." 

Making her way downstairs, Elunara snagged the door. 

Janella stood there, wringing her hands. "Forgive me, I may have over stepped."

"May?" She raised her brow. 

"You see, I called on Lulu in front of the class, and she took it poorly."

"That's an understatement." Elunara stepped out on to the porch and closed the door. "My daughter is quitting your classes."

"Oh dear, this is all my fault."

"On the contrary. This has always been the direction that Lulu wanted. I made her take your classes so that she could learn how to control the shadow part of her. Now that I feel she's moved beyond the basics, I will no longer make her participate in your program."

"Forgive me." Janella sighed. "I know you put your trust in me..."

Elunara held up a hand. "You have not broken that trust. This was an eventuality, not an accident."

Bradly stood under the shady tree and rubbed his neck. "You know what sounds good about now?"

Darguni chugged water. "What?"

"I swim in lower lake."

"Gods don't it?"

"Bet it's nice and cool..."

"Gather the men...

"We're going swimming." 

"I don't know." Warren eyed Bradly. "Swimming with a cockmuncher and all."

"Ex-cockmuncher, thank you." Bradly snorted. "What does THAT matter anyway?"

"You might see mine and get all hungry."

"First, ew. Second, we're both married, to WOMEN. Third, you ain't that well built."

Darguni laughed. "None of you are built like I am."

"Rub it in why don't you." Bradly snorted. "Besides, we'll all be in swim clothes. I want my wife there, and she won't go if she knows you'll all be flapping around."

"What if I WANT to flap around?" Warren crossed his arms. 

"Alright, chicken." Bradly flapped his arms. "Bwak!" 

"What are you twits doing over here?"

"Hey dad, we were discussing going swimming in lower lake."

"Damn if that doesn't sound awesome." Jordan tapped his chin. "Am I invited?"

"Sure, why the hell not?" Bradly snorted. 

The next thing anyone knew, there was a beach party at the lake. Even Elunara sat on the shore and nursed Emaline. Varian sat next to them, the first anyone had seen him in casual clothes, and he was in swim trunks. 

"I haven't done this since I was a child myself." He chuckled.

"Well, you're certainly adorable." Elunara winked. 

"Feels nice to peel off that heavy armor." He stretched. "Mm, though I rather enjoy when you peel off the armor for me." He chuckled. "I like how everyone was shocked to see me, and how long it took them to just enjoy themselves."

"Armor or no, you're still king."

"And you queen, but people are always relaxed around you." 

"They know me. Regardless of title, they know me. Most knew me before the titles, and some even saw my titles given to me. It makes me more personable." 

"This is true." He considered her "Going for a swim?" 

"Eventually. Right now, I'm basking in the sun and feeding our daughter." 

"I'm going for a quick swim and when you're done, we can trade out."

"HEY GUYS!" 

Everyone blinked up at the form at the top of the waterfall. "Is that Anduin?" She blinked.

"I'll be damned, it is."

Anduin launched off of the rocks and dove into the water. The crowd erupted into cheers.

"Now me!" Varian climbed up the incline, before repeating his son's jump. 

Elunara cackled. When he returned, she tucked Emaline into her blankets before standing up. Like a lazy cat, she stretched, showing off her body in a bikini. There were numerous wolf whistles, and she could feel the shots of energy from all of the men present. Some of the wives got a little irritated, but most gave her warmth. Following the path of her husband, she made it to the top. 

"My dear subjects!" She held her hand in the air. "I feel you, and it is delicious!" To their cheers, she dove.

Days later, Elunara made her way into Tulani's studio. "I'm here to check on my beautiful ladies."

"Oh, You." Tulani giggled. "Where's Emaline?"

"Varian wanted some time with her, and I needed to check up on you." Elunara laid her hands on Tualni. "Let's see what we..." She hesitated, before pumping all of her energy into Tulani's body.

"Mm, that feels weird, what are you doing?"

"No..." Elunara whispered. "NO YOU CAN'T!" She cried.

Tulani began to panic. "What's wrong?"

Elunara wrapped her arms around Tulani. "You... you've lost it."

"It...? I lost..." Tulani fought the tears. "I lost my baby?"

"It's gone. Just gone. There's nothing I can do..." Elunara whimpered. 

"I thought you blessed me. Why have I not bled?"

"I don't know why the blessing didn't work. And she's just not viable; your body hasn't figured it out yet."

"She?" Tulani whimpered. "My baby girl?"

Elunara winced. "Yes."

Tulani buried her face into Elunara's chest. "No..." She whispered in horror. "NO!"

"I'm so sorry my love. I didn't try hard enough for you."

Tulani wept.

After helping Tulani into bed, Elunara sat outside the door and buried her face into her hands. 

"Momma?" Lydia frowned down at Elunara. "What's the matter?"

"Tulani lost her baby."

"But... how?"

"When I healed her. I don't think I did it right... Perhaps..." Elunara sighed. "I have to heal her further. I have to help her." 

Days later, Lydia sat down and sighed. "It's so awful. Why do I have four, when poor Tulani can't have one?"

"I'm working on it." Elunara sighed as well. "The fact she was able to get pregnant in the first place shows that I'm on the right track for her, it'll just take more time." 

"Speaking of which," Bradly leaned on the platform. "Can you check on Evelyn? We've been trying to get pregnant since we got married. Nothing is happening."

"Send her to me." 

At the end of the day, Elunara tested Evelyn's body. "You're fine sweetie, there's nothing I could do. In fact... you're pretty fertile now. Give it a shot." She winked.

"Um, I have another question..."

"Shoot."

"I've... clawed Bradly a couple of times by accident and he hasn't transformed yet."

"Oh, that. He's protected by my ability."

"Really?"

"Yeah, he can't be affected by the curse." 

"Can you..."

"Fix you? No. Once affected... I'm sorry sweetie."

"It's alright." Evelyn sighed. "Can you... test Bradly?"

"Hm, I've never done that, but I guess I could try." She put her hand on his shoulder and concentrated. "That's... odd." 

"What's odd?"

"I need a comparison." Looking around she spotted her target. "Jordan, get over here."

He jogged up. "What's up?"

She put her hands on both men and frowned. "Bradly, you're broken."

"I'm... what?"

"Yeah... you lack the ability to impregnate your wife..."

"Aw, shit." Bradly sighed. "Really?"

"Really. I could test a few more men, but you lack the parts."

"Can you grow them?"

"Growing parts is beyond my ability. I can only heal what has been broken. I'll do my best, but I can't give you the parts." 

"Damn it!" Tears stung his eyes. "This is awful."

Evelyn wrapped her arms around him. "It's not so bad. We still have each other..."

"Yes, of course." He cuddled her. "Thank you."

Jordan waited until the pair were out of range. "Sad tidings all around." He murmured.

"I'll fix this." She turned and left. 

A few weeks later, Tulani came out of her room and eyed Jordan. "I want to try again."

"Well, alright." He smiled at her. "We'll get Elunara and..."

Yanking Jordan's shirt, Tulani assaulted his mouth. "We don't need her. I only need you."

He held up his hands. "Listen," She went for his mouth again. "You don't understand..." Again. "I don't want to" Again. "Do it like this."

"Give me what I need!"

"TULANI, NO!" He shoved her backwards. "I know you're upset about your baby, but we can't do this. I'll give you your chance, but I NEED Elunara to do it! I can't get hard without her. In fact, I may have actually shrank over this."

Tulani covered her face with her hands. "Gods, please forgive me." She whispered. "I don't know what came over me."

He gently placed his hands on her shoulders. "Tuly, you're sad and angry for the loss of your baby. I know how much it means to you, but you can't force the issue."

"Jordan, I'm SO sorry."

"Not as sorry as I am that you lost your baby... especially so late." He brushed her hair back. We'll try again, but not like this. He kissed her nose. "You're my dear sister and I want to help you, but this isn't the way to do it."

"Please forgive me." 

"I already have. Now, let's go get Elunara." 

On a different day, Varian made his way down to the yard. 

"What's up, my Sugarlove?" Elunara grinned up at him. 

"I need your sons."

"Whatever for?"

"Something long overdue."

Elunara signaled the pair. 

"Yeah, mom?" Bradly cocked his head to the side.

"Varian has summoned you, not me."

"Sir?" Darguni nodded.

"I'm arranging for a little ceremony. Next week, you two will be promoted to Commanders. You have earned it."

Elunara giggled at the stunned expressions on the boy's faces.

"We'll do you proud." Bradly bowed.

"For the good of the Alliance, and Stormwind." Darguni also bowed.

"You already do." Varian winked.
