It felt so good that my muscles clenched, and I dug my hands into her thighs as my release shot up into her. Not even a second later did I hear Gears moan out, “Oh, fuck,” as he shoved himself into her ass fully.
We were all panting hard, trying to catch our breath, and I couldn't keep the smile off my face. Celine looked down at me, cupped my face gently, and gave me the sweetest kiss. I felt her hand tremble as she broke away and smiled at me.
Gears bent over, lavishing her shoulders and neck with soft kisses. I watched her close her eyes slowly, enjoying all the treatment between the two of us, and my heart filled with joy. Our mate was letting us in, bit by bit.
Gears spoke up first. "That was amazing, Celine." He pulled out of her gently, turned her face to kiss her fully, resting his head on hers for a second before he said he would collect her clothes.
She put her hands on my chest as she lifted herself up. I watched as my cum slid down her thigh and put my hands behind my head, enjoying the view.
Celine opened her mouth to say something when we heard a large and ferocious roar echoing around the forest.
All of us looked in the direction it came from and paused until a clear voice rang out. "Bricks! Gears! We need you!"
All of us sprang into action. Celine yanked her shirt over her head, already putting one leg into her leggings when Gears yelled, "Go! I'll stay with her, and we will catch up."
I looked at Celine, and she threw her chin in that direction. "Go. We're right behind you."
That was all I needed. I turned and raced through the trees, running so fast they were all just green and brown blurs racing around me.
I heard another growl before I saw some of our people along the edge of a cleaning. I quickly pushed through to see a massive auburn-brown wolf throwing Duce to the side to get to this panther that was backed into a corner. Rabid. Rabid had shifted into his wolf. This was not good.
Dino limped over to me, naked and fuming. "Fucking panther shifter jumped in front of one of the pups, scared it half to death. Rabid saw the whole thing and just went ballistic. Duce and I have been trying to calm him down, as it seems the panther shifter doesn't know how to turn into its human form and keeps growling at David. Which, you know, just starts him off again." He ran his hand into his hair, stressed and barely keeping it together.
I put my hands up and signed,Did you guys try to take him down together?
Dino shook his head as he watched my fingers. "No. Your wolf is the only one big enough to try that without getting yourself killed.”
I was about to relieve Duce when Gears and Celine showed up. “Shit!” Gears said as he saw what was going on. He turned to Dino. “How long has he been like this?”
“Not long. Maybe ten minutes. Bricks is going to tackle him, see if we can force him to calm down or try to knock him out and drag him back home.” Dino shrugged, but I could see Celine looking at him like he was crazy.
She took a few steps and said, “Before we go down that crazy road, why don't we try something else.” All three of us tried to grab her arm to yank her back, but she effortlessly dodged us as she kept walking forward.
I went after her, but she used her siren water magic and easily skated across the clearing and put herself right in front of Rabid’s wolf.
Duce shifted upon seeing her, calling out to her, “Celine get back! Go back!”
She ignored him, just like she did us, and started to talk to him. “Well, aren't you pretty. I love the shade of your fur.” Rabid’s wolf turned towards her, growling before snapping his jaws at her. My heart was beating a mile a minute as I kept my eyes on Rabid. The second he looked like he was going to go after her, I would take him down, hard.
“That wasn't nice!” She called out as she dodged his attack with little effort. When she started to talk to him again, and she got the same response, I noticed that she was slowly moving him away from the panther shifter, making sure his attention was all on her.
“This was a nice game of scary wolf and water nymph, though I think it's time to calm this beasty down, don't you think?” As she spoke, there was a shift in the air, and you could tell she had turned on her magic. Even though it wasn't geared towards me, I felt the pull of her magic and was compelled to focus on her as well.
Then she started soft, humming lightly as Rabid’s paws stopped pounding on the ground. When her singing grew a little louder, more powerful, you could see that Rabid only had eyes for her. It wasn't in a prey vs. predator type of way either. Gone were his snapping jaws and angry roars. His wolf was the most docile I had ever seen him.
Gears was the first one to wake up from the shocking scene in front of us, motioning to Celine to take him in the direction of our house. She changed paths and walked back that way, Rabid following, while Gears went to talk to members who had stuck around, telling them to head home for the night, that we would take care of this.
I picked Duce up off the ground, helping him stand up as he whispered, “How the hell is she doing that?”
I shrugged, not knowing myself as I looked at her. I could see in her eyes how determined she was to help him. She waved at us to go before them, keeping her eyes locked on his as he followed her like a puppy dog.
Always the devil's advocate, Dino whispered, “I thought she couldn’t spell us while we were in our wolf form?”
Gears was the one to speak up first. “She’s not. Rabid is not how Billy looked. Remember the little demonstration? Billy looked like a person with no soul, just following orders with no expression or thought. Rabid, right here, definitely has a mind of his own. She is just singing her song to soothe and keep him focused on her. That way, we can all get out of here in one piece.” He looked back at the panther shifter, who looked ready to bolt. “I'm going to take care of that. You guys make sure she can keep it up and get him to the house. As soon as he gets to the barrier, it will force him to shift back.”
As a fail-safe, we long ago had a mage put up a huge magical circle around the house, making it so that if Rabid ever got out of control, we could force him to shift back by keeping him close enough to the house.
Following, I watched Celine guide Rabid through the whole forest, not once letting up on her song until she got to the porch steps, and he hit the circle ten feet away, collapsing instantly.
