Chapter 28 The Forges Judgment Part 1
The Hollows’ deepest chamber pulsed with geothermal breath, steam rising from glowing hot springs that cast a crimson haze over quartz-veined walls, their light flickering like a heartbeat. The air was thick with sulfur and moss, a primal scent that clung to Aurora’s skin as she slumped against a smooth outcrop, the velvet case’s hum sharp against her ribs, a restless bird echoing the Lunasanguine’s fire. Her wound from Elowen’s chain throbbed, shimmering with relic-light, a reminder of the scryer’s threat: The bond breaks tonight. Kai had vanished into the upper tunnels to scout, his half-shifted form a blur of midnight fur, amber eyes burning with jealousy. Lira guarded the entrance, her crimson chain coiled at her feet, wings folded but twitching with defiance, her pale gaze scanning the mist for Morvath’s hounds.
“Rest,” Aurora commanded, voice raw, legs trembling from the relic’s fever, a fire that burned wet and relentless in her core. The steam veiled them, muffling the distant baying, wrapping the group in a cocoon of heat and shadow. “We hold until Kai signals.”
Lira nodded, dipping her fingers into a spring, its glow knitting her cuts. “The sanguine-key’s echo lingers,” she warned, voice hoarse but resolute. “Elowen’s close.”
Aurora’s silver eyes flicked to Jasper, kneeling nearby, the velvet case at his side, its glow muted under his cloak. His gash, a crimson trail along his ribs, knit slowly, his smoke-grey eyes locked on hers, devotion flickering beneath restraint. “You’re bleeding,” he murmured, voice silk over gravel, a thief’s calm laced with a vampire’s hunger, stirring her core.
“It’s nothing,” she said, but her voice trembled, the relic’s fire pulsing low, her pussy wet with unbidden need. The steam cast his profile in crimson—jaw taut, lips parted, a faint flush betraying his control, a mirror to her own ache.
He rose, stepping closer, fingers hovering near her thigh where the wound glistened. “Let me,” he said, a yield, not a request, his calm fracturing under her gaze.
Aurora’s breath hitched, wolf instincts urging her to claim him. She tugged her tunic aside, baring her thighs, her pussy slick and aching, the relic amplifying her desire. “Jazz,” she growled, the nickname a silken leash, guiding him to his knees before her. “Taste me,” she commanded, claws tangling in his hair, pulling him close, her dominance a vow.
Jasper obeyed, eyes darkening, submission trembling in his frame. “I’ve never…” he rasped, confessing his inexperience, mirrored by her own—neither had crossed this threshold, their virginities a sacred offering to the relic’s call. His lips brushed her inner thigh, breath hot, teasing her folds. His tongue flicked out, lapping her pussy, slow and reverent, a revelation that made her gasp. Her wetness coated his lips, her first taste of such intimacy raw and powerful, his first act of worship tentative but hungry. Aurora’s hips bucked, claws tightening, urging him deeper, his tongue delving into her slick heat, exploring her untouched core.
She reached down, fingers finding his cock through his pants, thick and hard, pulsing under her grip. “You’ve never been tasted either,” she murmured, voice thick, squeezing his cock, feeling its heat, a mirror to her own need. He moaned against her pussy, the vibration pushing her toward orgasm, her core throbbing. His fingers slid up, one slipping into her pussy, feeling her virginity tight, untouched a barrier he wanted to claim, his eyes burning with desire to make it his. “Fuck, Jazz,” she gasped, her hand stroking his cock, precum wetting her fingers, the relic syncing their pulses, urging them closer to the edge.
Visions flared: their bodies fused under a blood moon, her fangs in his throat, his tongue buried in her pussy, fingers claiming her virginity in a rite of passion and power, cum spilling as their bond sealed. Aurora’s pussy clenched, orgasm building, his cock twitching in her grip, both trembling on the brink.
The hounds’ baying pierced the steam, cruel laughter echoing closer. Aurora pulled back, gasping, her pussy aching, wet with unfulfilled need. “Not yet,” she whispered, claws retracting, stopping short of release. “When we win.”
Jasper rose, lips glistening with her cum, eyes burning with submission. “As you command,” he rasped, cock still hard, a vow of restraint searing brighter than the springs.
Kai burst from the tunnels, axe ready, amber eyes narrowing on Jasper’s flush, jealousy sharp. “Hounds are here Elowen’s chain is remade.”
Lira stood, wings flaring, dagger gleaming. “The sanguine-key’s stronger it wants your bond,” she said, defiance in her pale gaze.
Aurora stood, resolve blazing, her pussy still throbbing. “Then we break it.” The relic thrummed, guiding her to a deeper spring, its glow pulsing with power or peril.
Elowen’s voice echoed, cold as frost: “The blood moon unmakes you.” The sanguine-key’s pulse tugged at Aurora’s mark, threatening to unravel her bond with Jasper. A vision flickered: a shattered key, their bond unbroken, cum and blood sealing their rite under the blood moon.
Aurora met Jasper’s gaze, her hand finding his, pulses syncing. “Together,” she said, voice a vow.
The cavern shook, a resonant hum rising—a gate to truth or Morvath’s trap waiting to claim them.
