31. Feelings

Ranulf's POV

I was avoiding Rain like a plague and storm out of my chamber letting Durwin and Maven took care of him. My heart was torn knowing that my enemies had found out about him. That I have put him in danger. This was not what I wanted for him, for us.

Cassius, my once loyal general who decided to start his own legion of demons found out about us. He knew that my lover was my downfall, my weakness. He knew that I was cast down from heaven for the exact same reason, my mate. He realized that it would be easier and faster just to abduct Rain, rather than luring him romantically.

He knew that I would crumble, that he could easily destroy me in return for Rain's life.

That day, was the worst that I've ever endured in my whole immortal existence. I was strongly considering going rogue if I were to lose him. As if the Gods weren't satisfied enough with my previous life, they still decided to toy with my Rain.

We were in the middle of the battle when Osbert was sending his man to take me back to the Palace, we regrouped immediately. Maven showed me what was to come, play by play. And my heart was beating so fast, that I couldn't hear him when he said that my soldiers would continue fighting with the rebels.

"My king, you need to leave for master Rain. Right Now."

I could see Maven saying his words, but it became clear to me when he touched my hand then closed his eyes and giving me his vision.

And there it was, so clear as if I was there with them. Rain was changing into his wolf when he saw Durwin was being taken away from his side. I was cursing, knowing that the event was unfolding at that very moment. Then I saw him, struggling with his last energy to call on his wolf. And that was when I snapped out of it, and gathered my best generals to go to Cassius's dungeon lair.

I've been there before, me and Osbert had stalked the place couple of months back. We had known that he would cause havoc, but we didn't think that he would act this soon and this recklessly.

I couldn't help to think that he might have other plans behind this back. But at that time, getting into his lair was the first step that I needed to do. I was planning as I go along, I just needed my Rain to be safe. I don't think I could bear myself if I lose him.

It was minutes when me and five of my best generals landed in the woods near his lair, it looked unguarded. So I was pushing my generals to move quickly, scattering ourselves in different directions.

I was heading for the dungeon, while the rest was clearing the courtyard, the upper level, also the ground level. I was with two other generals since I didn't know the layout of the dungeon. I couldn't risk it if it turned out to be a vast maze dungeon, just like the crawlers'.

But then I heard it, the very loud growl. It wasn't his anger sound, I had recognized it as my little wolf's pained wailing sound. I was quick to run in the exact direction, I saw Durwin was fighting the Angel that had just hurt Rain.

His anger was very intense. I've never seen an elf with so much anger than Durwin at that exact moment. He was pushing the angel to the ground, holding him down with his body. He was giving all of his strength and strangled him putting all the pressure in his fingers until his neck was brutally severed and burst from his grip.

But I didn't expect him to smirked coldly and snapped his neck bones easily. This was done in seconds, making all his blood splattered all over the dungeon wall and floor.

"My King, my apologies. You can punish me later, but please let me carry master Rain back to your chamber."

Rain was out, fainted from the sheer pain. But he was breathing steadily, as one of my generals was quick to check on him. I was lost for words, for the simple act which Durwin had just shown seconds earlier.

No elf ever dared to kill an angel, we are higher status being than them. And to kill one would be an eternity of damnation, he would be cast to the deepest darkest hell and tortured for all eternity.

I never knew that his love for my wolf was this great, yet he still bows down to me and seeks for his punishment afterward.

"I will carry him, we will fly back. One of my generals will take you, we'll meet up in my chamber." I finally found my words, while he was still kneeling, waiting for my instructions.

"Get up Durwin."

He got up and I took his jaw and made him look at me. His eyes were teary. I could still see the rage and the sadness simmering ready to explode.

"You're safe. I am forever grateful to you. We should go now."

I released him to go to my naked wolf, his shoulder was dislocated. The pain must be unbearable with the changes of his wolf, making him lose consciousness.

We were at my chamber minutes later, all were dismissed but Durwin and I while Maven was busy caring for Rain. I was pacing back and forth, feeling useless but I couldn't make myself leave him. Not until Durwin took my hand in his.

"My king, please let me clean you, then you can lay with him as he regains back his energy."

Durwin had assisted Maven in cleaning the blood off of Rain's body and he had draped Rain in my color. His love for him was shown in his little caresses, while all I could do was pacing around, still feeling agitated for what had happened earlier.

"My King?" Durwin took my attention as he put his hand on my bloodied chest, making me finally nodded and go with him to the royal bath.

He was quick in stripping both of us naked and ushered me to the deeper level of the pool. He was washing the blood away from my face, arms, and my body. His touches were quickly turned sexual, and he retreated. Feeling he had gone too far.

But I needed him, I needed to feel something more than the helplessness. 

I was about to grab him when the sadness hits me hard. My hands trembled, and my body shook when I finally let my feelings out.

"My King... please, he will be just fine." He whispered in my ear, while he came forward and wrapped me in his arms.

"I can't... I can't imagine my life without him. I'm a freaking immortal Durwin, and I've never wanted to die as much as today."

"My King, forget about today. Just for a moment? I'm sure master Rain will be okay with us releasing our stress, just this one time."

Durwin had known about Rain's not wanting me with any being unless he was with me, and strangely I didn't even want to. But at that moment all I wanted was to forget about the possibility of losing him. And Durwin was already giving me his sexy kisses, his hand was snaking and reaching out for my dick.

He moaned when I started kissing him back harshly, and letting out my groan. He was pushing me to sit on the edge of the pool, while was standing between my legs and started to suck my tip. I was so stressed out that I couldn't take it anymore and fuck his mouth hard, pushing him to take all of my lengths. He groaned in satisfaction and relaxed his throat, while I was moaning his name when my dick was deep into his very wet mouth.

"Suck it Durwin, harder... for heaven sake... again... more, fuck yes... I'm going to..."

He was very good at what he does, we had done this thousands times already, but somehow with Rain in the mix, it was all a new experience for both of us. Knowing that we were both doing it while imagining Rain with us.

Moments later, I was pushing my load into his mouth as he swallowed it, all of it. His tongue rolled from the bottom of my length sexily teasing me until he kissed the tip of my dick.

"Delicious, thank you, my King."
