Skyrim One-Shots

Farkas x Reader ~The Cairn~

This was nothing like Vilkas said things were going to go.

There were not supposed to be Silver Hand warriors waiting, he should have never had to have transformed, and he should have never looked at you while transformed.

Never, never, never. 

The beast had rumbled its pleasure, finding you to be a more than suitable mate. He had approached you while you were frozen solid, got into your personal space and cared little for your pleadings.

Vilkas had said everything would go to plan- that there wasn't any risk of anything happening. But no, something did happen, and Farkas didn't know how to deal with it. He didn't know how to explain to you why his werewolf form had bitten lightly on your neck, why it snarled and hissed when the Silver Hand insulted you.

Farkas had never needed to explain anything. Vilkas wasn't with him, even! How could he even begin to try to explain everything that had just happened when his brother wasn't with him? Vilkas knew how to handle situations like this, what to say and how to say it. Farkas didn't.

You had backed yourself into a corner, tears brimming in your eyes as you pleaded for him to explain, the wound on your neck starting to trickle out blood and making the beast at the back of his throat roar and try to take back control just so he could claim you fully, just so there would not be a hint of competition among other wolves.

But all he could do was stand there, silver eyes locked to the floor. He didn't know what to say- didn't know how to get you calm, didn't know how to convince you he didn't mean it, didn't know how to tell you everything about being a werewolf. He didn't know if he should or even could.

And still, you found enough courage to approach him, eyes softened despite your fear. It was like you understood, but Farkas, again, did not know.

He didn't know a lot of things, but the one thing he did know was that he needed to explain this and fast. Farkas needed to tell you why the were in him had done that and the feeling in his chest with every step you moved closer.

He needed to, and yet, he did not know how.

"Farkas," came your quiet murmur,  pausing in your advances being you were right in front of him as you tilted your head up. A hand came to rest on the left side of his neck, then your head slowly moved into his chest. "Please, tell me what that was. Explain it to me before I make assumptions."

He swallowed. "____, I don't know how."

"That's fine, just... just tell me why you bit me."

Farkas stayed deathly still. "It wasn't me," he murmured. "I couldn't control it.  He marked you. I can't undo it."

Tears started to spring from your eyes. "Farkas," you choked out, "Farkas, I don't understand. Please, tell me what that was."

He wrapped his arms around you, the only thing he could think of. "I'm sorry, little one. My brother could explain it better."

"Why are you refusing to answer?" you sobbed. It was like he could feel the tears, every single drop shattering his heart more and more.

"I'm a werewolf and that was my werewolf form. It marked you- claimed you, because I love you."

Your tears started to halt.

"Ever since you came," he continued. "It didn't like waiting. It didn't want to, so it took. I'm sorry, ____. I'm so sorry."

You buried your head in his chest piece harder, eyes clenching shut. "It's going to be fine. We're going to figure this out."

You said it to reassure yourself more than him, but he still took from your words. Farkas still gained from them.

"You... You aren't mad? Or scared?" he questioned.

"You're the one person who would never intentionally hurt me, Farkas. I know that. I'm not going to lose that if I can avoid it," you said shakily, voice trembling but still somehow strong. He never knew how you could do that- act so strong but feel so weak.

The soft whistle of air was the only thing left in the cave as silence settled between you both. Reluctantly, he released you, the beast at the back of his mind snarling and fighting. The animal in him would never let you go and never let you be free. The animal in him would hide you away and protect you, refuse to leave you and never let you talk to anyone else be them male or female.

"I can't promise it will never happen again," Farkas murmured. "But I can promise you, ____, I won't let you get hurt. Not when you're by my side."

You swallowed. "I'll tame your beast one day. I'll make him listen."

"I don't know if you would get the chance to try."

"I would," you pressed. "And I would make him bow."

A chuckle-like growl echoed in the back of his mind. The beast took it as a challenge.

Farkas would not let anything happen to you. No, never again.

Never again.

I'm so so so sorry for the late request @Kay_Brookestone with the 100 chapter special and super busy home life, it's hard to keep up chapters.

Alas, thank you all for sticking through it with me! No smut chapter tonight, as a side note.

Part 2?

Requests?

Dani out,

Adieu!
