U.O.T.W. Chapter 41 Sotek's Nightmare

  • Authors Note:  Adult Themes

     

    The black wolf’s eyes snapped open. Looking down he could see the pitch blackness of his fur in a vast contrast to the snow on the ground. Behind him he could feel the grey wolf’s presence, the Alpha wolf. He was standing there watching him, waiting for an excuse to attack and to kill. He knew he couldn’t beat the Alpha wolf, inside he knew everything was against him. One day he will put things right, someday... Somehow.

     

    In front of him the pack separated. He felt sick, his stomach turned as anger gripped his heart like it was in a vice. There she was the Alpha bitch moving slowly through the pack. Red fur covered her slender athletic body reaching over her face and down her back while almost minx like silver fur covered her chest to taper down her belly. Across her face three stripes of grey fur stood out like claw marks. Aela the Huntress, that was her name and he remembered everything about her.

     

    They used to be enemies of sorts when they first met, or rather that’s how she saw him, as an enemy. Then things changed, they became  mates. He could see her standing there, in her human form. He could almost feel her breath on him when they made love, her temper when she scorned whoever got in her way. That was her, the Alpha bitch. She belonged to the Alpha wolf now. All he could do is stand there and watch.

     

    She walked past him like she always had to but her scent was so strong it almost hurt his senses. Every time she came near he tried to call out but he couldn’t even move. His eyes swelled up as the hate for the grey wolf burned his soul like a fire but he was held fast in this exact spot. Stuck here for eternity, watching, waiting. She turned to look at him, she can see his tears but she don’t know him. She can’t remember her past life. He can, all of it, she was his girl. Now for the rest of eternity she belonged to the Alpha wolf, the grey wolf. The alpha wolf bit into her leg making her yelp. The black wolf tried to move, just once would be enough, but he can’t. All he can do is just watch. The grey wolf moved behind her. The black wolf’s eyes fixed on her. He’s forced to watch, unable to defend her, to protect her while the grey wolf attacked her, savagely biting at her back forcing her to stay still as he mounted her.

     

    The black wolf’s very soul screams out in anger, torn by her cries of pain. He can do nothing but watch, knowing tomorrow it will happen all over again.

     

    Sotek violently awoke and automatically lashed out at the closest thing to him in a blind uncontrollable rage. He smashed the small table into the floor which shattered like glass. In a blind rage his hands gripped the side of the bed and tossed it over slamming it into the wall. Only when the room is virtually destroyed does his rage stop due to his energies having been spent.

     

    The Innkeeper burst into the room with two Nords either side of her to find Sotek crouched on the floor. His head rested in his hands and he was clearly shaking with anger and fear while his entire body was covered in sweat which almost dripped from his forehead. A loud panting dominated the silence which originated from Sotek as his breathing was void of any control.

     

    Realism closed in as Sotek’s eyes squinted from the dim light that shone through the blocked doorway silhouetting the Innkeeper and her two aids. His mind was still foggy but desperately it clawed at his surroundings as he tried to remember where he was. Sotek slowly stood up and looked around the room at the devastation. Seeing the carnage he wrought, he turned to the Innkeeper standing there in the doorway.

    “Sorry, bad dream". Once he unsteadily climbed to his feet, he pulled on the bed to upright it. The two Nords entered and started to help straighten the room as best as they could while the Innkeeper just watched him.

    “Aela!!! Where’s Aela?” Once again fear for her clawed at his very soul.

     

    “She’s outside with the guards, helping with a few trolls. They’ve been harassing some travellers. She ok dear”. Sotek dropped on the bed as he tried to establish control but his heart was pumping full throttle from the adrenalin coursing through him.

     

    He looked at the three standing there watching him and slowly held the palm of his hand up to them.

    “I’m ok, just a bad dream. Sorry about the room”. Then he just laid on his bed watching the ceiling.

    The endless cycle aspect does and that extra feeling of hopelessness, but if a Dragonborn can't find a way who can?

    Yep I just checked it out. Thats about the sum of it for poor Red except this is every night and all Sotek's wolf spirit can do is watch it as he's unable to inteviene. Of course there's the extra horror for him that he knows who she actualy was.

    fixed it. .
    This does go dark in some places but I've got Okan and Borom along with Lissette to stop me going that one step too far. (There's the odd chapter where Okan and Borom tug on my lead and pull me back a good few feet. ch. 25 was one and 43...  more

    I don't think I've ever been attracted to a canine before... This dream they share reminds me of the last part of Berserk's Golden Age arc. Warning, if you haven't seen or read it it before, its very dark and not mild at all.
    Caught one, “Sorry, bad dream["].
