The Hazard of Humanity - Book One - Fate

Chapter Two

Her scent was near intoxicating. Little did I know that the moment I drew closer to her I'd be enthralled by the desire that took hold. I'd been tracking the young beauty for nearly a week, Desperate? oh ho no... I wasn't desperate I was eager perhaps but never desperate.

This woman intrigued me unlike any other. I knew she was a succubus the first time I'd seen her use her abilities, She was good... very good and I could sense that she'd only awakened her powers in the last hundred of years... fresh... young.... naive... Oh what fun she'd be.

The flea ridden mongrels however proved to hinder my plans on bedding the sweet succulent succubus... Those damned inbred fools. What was I to do? Kill the lycans and ravish her in the woods instead? Or perhaps chivalry... hm... It was so hard to decide.

Her scream of pain however snapped me out of my thoughts and I glanced down from my perch in the high tree several feet away. Cloaked in shadows I was certain the lycan didn't know I was in their new territory borders. I could smell the onyx powder used on the poor demoness and I could feel my growl forming in my throat... Those low life mongrels... she was MINE.... no theres to have.

Chivalry it was....Damien you were a damned fool falling for the damsel in distress....

It was simple to materialize beside the tree that the alpha bastard slammed her delicate and lithe form into. Leaning against the tree I placed my elbow against the trunk and inhaled her scent... Good god... she was sinfully lustful even in despair.

"My my my... Arn't you a wee bit to old to be flirting with such a beautiful young woman such as her, Mongrel?" I chuckled as I watched the Succubus' body tense at the scent of me. I could tell she was just as affected by me as I was by her. "These Wolves would make nice coats... Don't you think, Dulcedo?" I added with a bit more testosterone woven through my voice.

When the beast flung the woman like a rag doll to the side and she went rolling across the ground I winced abit when she hit a rock and went motionless... that looked painful

Without hesitation I gripped onto the bark of the firmly rooted Oak tree and sent  my feet hurling into the alpha's face, sending him barreling towards his pack before I moved towards the unconscious demoness' form, enjoying the way she looked in the leather trousers she had on. It was not every day I saw a women in this day and age wearing pants like a man... the era was still under developed and most wore corsets and gowns.... ah the Medieval times were such a lovely time for cleavage...

"Oh how I'd love to stay and chat, Gentlemen but... The lady and I have a date... so... ciao!" I said with a laugh as I lifted the brunette beauty into my arms with ease and made a break for it.... only to be caught by the ankle and sent flying to the earth once more, the woman thrown from my arms once again.... poor thing was like a rag doll... at least she wouldn't remember this hard treatment... I'd blame it on the wolves....speaking of... I still had to take care of those bastards... This was a new suit god damnit..

When I began to come around the sounds of yelping and whimpering filled my ears. My eyes were still blinded from the onyx that had been blown into them. My body ached and I could feel the blood running fresh from the cut I must of gotten from the rock... except I didn't remember how I'd managed to get this far away from the tree... 

Slowly I began to crawl away from the sounds of the fighting... away from the eyes of the Lycan and the man that came to my aid... who was he? How had he come to find me here of all places and times to find me?

A firm grip on my ankle made me squeek out as I was dragged across the sharp and dry earth, a body pressing down on me as I felt a blade placed against my throat as a growl entered my left ear.

"You started this mess you, Bitch....Time to get up..." He growled as he hoisted me up onto my feet and turned me around. My eyes squinting shut from the pain of the onyx. "Demon... I've got the girl.... Release my alpha's body now or I'll slit her throat..." The man barked an order and my ears tried to listen for the man he was trying to bargain with.

"The girl for the body? Oh ho no... Dear sir... I don't negotiate with dogs...." The silken voice laughed out as the wind picked up and his scent assailed my nose and his voice spoke behind me all of a sudden. "I'm sorry... but thats just not how I enjoy doing things" I could tell he was smirking as he spoke and I heard the deafening crunch of bone breaking and the man holding me went limp against me. A gentle hand touched my arm and I was spun in a circle almost as if I were dancing until my back was pressed against his and his arm circled around his back to rest against my hip. "I'm sorry for the rough treatment my lady... but It appears its the only way these mutts know how to live...I'll get you out of here safely just trust in Damien Carthridge..."

Damien.... oh god that was one of the most attractive names I'd ever heard in my entire life! my insides grew hotter as I leaned against his strong back and closed my eyes as I inhaled his sweet scent.

"I'm putting my faith in your hands, My lord" I spoke softly, trying my best to release what ever pheromones I had left to release... I was trying hard perhaps abit to hard but This man was driving me wild and I hadn't even been able to get a glimpse of his face.

The moment I spoke I felt his body trembled against mine as his fingers dug into the flesh of my hip and I heard the possessive growl rumble deep inside of him... sweet mother.....I was in deep trouble with this one....
