The Wolf's Curse

Varis seeks shelter from a storm, but finds something unexpected

Explicit. Two adults, one supernatural secret.

Varis's fingers cramped around the cold door handle as she heaved it shut. The wooden slats groaned, the sound echoing through the sudden stillness. Her shoulder throbbed where she'd slammed it against the door to hold it in place. The wind outside was a steady roar, but in here, the only noise was the creaking of the old wood and her own ragged breathing.

The fire in the hearth was the first thing she saw when her eyes adjusted. Flames danced up the sides of the kettle, making the metal glow like a small moon. Varis's numb fingers twitched, craving the warmth that seemed to pulse off the pot. She took a step forward, her eyes scanning the cabin. It was small, with a low ceiling, but it was tidy. The floor was swept, the furniture polished. Someone took care of this place.

Her stomach growled, reminding her she hadn't eaten since morning. The kettle was a good sign - if there was hot water, there might be food too. Varis moved closer to the fire, feeling the heat seep into her chilled skin. She held out her hands, palms up, and let the warmth soak in. Her fingers stung as they thawed.

As she stood there, she started to feel a prickle on the back of her neck. It wasn't just the storm that made her nervous - it was the feeling of being watched. Varis glanced around the cabin, but she was alone. She told herself she was spooked from walking alone in the dark, but the feeling didn't go away.

The stew in the pot on the hearth smelled incredible. Varis's stomach growled loudly as she reached out to lift the lid. The smell of hot meat and vegetables wafted up, making her mouth water. She dipped her fingers into the pot, pulling out a piece of flaky meat. It was delicious, and she ate greedily, feeling the warmth spread through her chilled body.

As she ate, the feeling of being watched didn't go away. Varis glanced around the cabin, but there was no one there. The fire crackled and spat, casting eerie shadows on the walls. She shivered, despite the warmth of the room. Suddenly, a loud growl echoed from outside, making her jump. Varis's heart was racing as she backed away from the fire, her eyes fixed on the door. What was out there? And why did she feel like it was waiting for her?


Varis's breath hitched as the growling grew louder, the sound bouncing off the trees. She tried to tell herself it was just a wild animal, but the noise seemed to come from all around her. The door creaked open, and a figure loomed in the entrance. Varis took in the sight of a tall, imposing man with piercing yellow eyes. He wore nothing but worn leather pants, his broad chest and arms on full display. A thick beard framed his chiseled features, and his dark hair was mussed.

For a moment, they stared at each other, the only sound the crackling fire and the distant howling wind. The man stepped forward, his movements fluid. Varis's instincts screamed at her to run, but her legs seemed rooted. The man's eyes never left hers as he approached, his gaze intense.

"Who are you?" Varis demanded, trying to keep her voice steady. The man stopped in front of her, his chest heaving. He was enormous, at least a foot taller than her, and his presence filled the room.

"My name is Ulric," he replied, his deep voice rough. "And you, little one, are in grave danger." Varis's eyes narrowed, her hand on the knife at her belt. "What do you mean?" Ulric's gaze flicked to the knife, and for a moment, Varis thought she saw a flash of hunger. But when he looked back, his eyes were calm.

"The forest is not safe, especially not at night," he said, his voice low and urgent. "There are things that would love to get their teeth into you." Varis felt fear at his words, but she stood her ground. "What do you want from me?" she asked.

Ulric's eyes burned as he looked at her. "I want your help," he said, his voice rough. "I am cursed to roam these woods as a beast, forced to hide my true nature. But I think you might be the key to breaking that curse." Varis stared at him, her mind reeling.

Before she could ask questions, Ulric reached out and grasped her wrist. "Come with me," he said, his eyes intense. "Let me show you the truth, and maybe we can find a way to set me free." Varis looked up at him, her heart pounding. She didn't know what to believe, but she couldn't deny the attraction growing between them.

With trepidation, Varis nodded, allowing Ulric to pull her towards the door. As they stepped out into the cold night air, the howling wind and distant growling seemed to grow louder. Varis felt fear, but Ulric's warm hand on her back steadied her, and together, they walked off into the darkness.


Varis's boots crunched in the snow as she followed Ulric through the dense forest. The darkness seemed to swallow them whole, the only sound the howling of the wind and the distant growling of the wolf. Her eyes darted around the trees, the branches tangling overhead like skeletal fingers. Ulric's warm hand on her back kept her grounded, though she couldn't shake the feeling that unblinking eyes were trained on them from the shadows.

They stopped in front of a small clearing, the snow trampled and uneven. Ulric turned to her, his eyes burning with an inner fire. "I need you to trust me," he said, his voice low. "I need you to let me show you what I am."

Varis's heart pounded in her chest as she nodded. Ulric reached out and gently brushed a strand of hair behind her ear. His touch sent a jolt through her. He leaned in, his lips brushing against hers in a soft kiss.

As they kissed, Varis felt tension build between them. Ulric's hands roamed over her body, tracing the curves of her waist and hips. She arched into his touch, her body responding.

He pulled back, his eyes burning with need. "I want you," he said, his voice rough. "I want to feel you beneath me, to taste your skin and feel your heat."

Varis nodded, her voice barely above a whisper. "I want you too."

Ulric's eyes flashed with triumph, and he reached out to pull her close. He kissed her again, his lips hard and demanding, his tongue probing the depths of her mouth. Varis felt herself melting into him, her body aching with need.

As they kissed, Ulric's hands roamed over her body, tracing the curves of her waist and hips. He reached down and grasped her ass, pulling her close as he ground his erection against her. Varis felt a rush of excitement.

Ulric pulled back, his eyes burning with desire. "I want to fuck you," he said, his voice rough. "I want to feel you around me, to thrust deep into you and feel you come apart in my arms."

Varis nodded, her voice barely above a whisper. "I want you to."

Ulric unfastened her shirt, the laces scratching her skin as they came undone. He pushed her back onto the bed, his mouth on hers, his cock a hard line against her thigh. Varis felt a shiver as he sat up, pulling his shirt off over his head. The muscles in his arms and chest stood out, defined, as he reached down to unfasten his pants.

He pushed them down his hips, his cock springing free, thick and hard, the head swollen and red. Varis's breath caught as she looked at it, her heart racing with a mix of fear and desire. Ulric smiled, his eyes glinting with amusement, and reached out to stroke her hair.

"Are you sure you want this?" he asked, his voice low and rough. "Once we start, I don't know if I can stop."

Varis's throat was dry, her heart pounding in her chest. She felt a thrill of fear at the thought of being overwhelmed by him, but she pushed it aside. She wanted this, wanted to feel him inside her and know what it was like to be with a man who truly desired her.

"Yes," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.

Ulric groaned, his eyes flashing with desire. He pushed her thighs apart and settled between them, his cock pressing against her entrance. Varis felt a rush of excitement mixed with fear as he began to push inside her, his cock stretching her and filling her.

It burned, a sharp sensation as her body adjusted to his size. But as he moved, pulling back and thrusting forward again, the pain began to give way to pleasure. Varis felt herself relaxing, her body beginning to respond to his touch.

Ulric's eyes were fixed on hers, his gaze burning with intensity. He moved slowly at first, his thrusts gentle and controlled. But as Varis began to respond, her body moving with his, he started to move faster. His thrusts grew harder and deeper, his cock pounding into her with increasing force.

Varis felt herself building towards a climax, her body tensing and releasing with each thrust. She reached up, wrapping her arms around Ulric's neck and pulling him down to kiss her. He groaned, his tongue probing her mouth as his cock pounded into her.

As they kissed, Ulric's body began to change. His eyes flashed yellow in the dim light, and his teeth sharpened into points. Varis felt a rush of fear, but it was too late. Ulric's cock was deep inside her, his body moving with a strength and power that was almost animalistic.

He came with a growl, his cock pulsing inside her as he filled her with his seed. Varis felt herself climaxing, her body tensing and releasing as she came. As they lay there, panting and spent, Varis realized that she had made a choice. She had chosen to be with Ulric, to take the risk and see where it would lead.

As she looked up at him, she saw that his eyes were back to normal, his teeth returned to their human shape. He smiled, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction, and leaned down to kiss her.

"I'm glad you chose me," he said, his voice low and rough. "I promise you, I will do everything in my power to make you happy."

Varis smiled, feeling a sense of wonder and excitement. She had no idea what the future held, but she was ready to face it with Ulric by her side.


Varis's fingers snagged in Ulric's hair as he kissed her, his tongue tracing the curve of her lower lip. His hands mapped her body, fingers lingering on the raised bumps of her spine, the softness of her hips. She arched into his touch, her nipples tightening as they brushed against his chest.

He broke the kiss, his eyes locked on hers, and slid down her body. His mouth found the hollow of her throat, the swell of her breast. His tongue circled her nipple, and she felt a jolt of pleasure as her hips jerked up into him. He chuckled, the vibrations humming through her skin, and sucked the nipple into his mouth, his teeth grazing the sensitive flesh.

Varis's hands clenched in his hair, her head thrown back, as he worked her nipple. His fingers traced the curve of her hip, dipping into the crease between her thighs. She was wet, embarrassingly so, and she felt a flush rise to her cheeks as he slid a finger into her, his eyes never leaving hers.

"You're so wet," he whispered, his voice rough with desire. "I can smell you, feel you trembling around my finger."

She nodded, her throat dry, as he added another finger, stretching her, filling her. His thumb circled her clit, and she felt herself building, her muscles tensing, her breath coming in short gasps.

Ulric's eyes gleamed with excitement, his pupils dilating, as he worked her. His fingers moved in time with the pulsing of his cock against her thigh. Varis felt herself climaxing, her body tensing, her muscles clenching around his fingers, as he groaned, his hips jerking into her.

He slid his fingers out of her, his hands grasping her hips, pulling her towards him. Varis felt the head of his cock notch into her entrance, and she tensed, her heart racing, as he slowly pushed into her, filling her, stretching her.

His eyes locked on hers, his face twisted with pleasure, as he slid deeper, his hips pressing into hers. Varis felt herself adjusting, her body yielding to his, as he slid out, his cock gliding through her wetness, before pushing back in, deeper, harder.

She felt herself building again, her muscles tensing, her breath coming in short gasps, as Ulric pistoned into her. His hands grasped her hips, pulling her into him, as he thrust into her, his cock filling her, stretching her.

Varis's vision blurred, her body tensing, as she felt herself climaxing, her muscles clenching around Ulric's cock. He groaned, his hips jerking into her, his cock pulsing inside her. He collapsed onto her, his chest heaving, his heart pounding against hers.

As they lay there, panting, spent, Varis felt a sense of wonder. She looked up at Ulric, his eyes closed, a smile on his face, and felt a sense of love.

"I'm glad I chose you," she whispered.

Ulric's eyes snapped open, his gaze locking on hers, and he smiled. "I'm glad you did," he whispered back. "I promise you, I will do everything in my power to make you happy."

Varis smiled, feeling a sense of wonder. She had no idea what the future held, but she was ready to face it with Ulric by her side. As they lay there, wrapped in each other's arms, Varis felt a sense of peace.
