Your nose is assaulted with all kinds of smells, of other people and other hybrids. Your ears are the next sense to be hit, barking and rambunctious chatter making you whip your head around to look at anyone or anything that made so much as a peep. “Like you’re any better. You’ve been stressing about making sure she eats right and that her fur is shiny enough. Not to mention the new ribbons I saw you pack.” That earned him a punch hard enough to make you turn your attention back to them, until Rumi took your leash from him and led you away.

“Hi, room for Usagiyama.” As she deals with the man at the front desk you take another look around at the few hybrids you see, each with their leash attached and a couple with muzzles or other protective gear on.

A small group of cat hybrids are ignoring each other in one corner while a pair of bird hybrids are grooming each other, at least until their owners notice and pull them apart, and in the furthest corner sits a large dog, or maybe wolf, hybrid. He towered over a good portion of the furniture around him, while a small dual colored pup tries to run around him before tiring out.

“If you need anything, please feel free to call us. Oh, and a word of advice, don’t let your pet wonder outside alone.” The front desk clerk slides a set of keycards towards your owners, and you can’t help but listen in. “Why? Have there been poachers or something?” Rumi leans closer to him and her grip on your leash slackens.

“There’s nothing official but there have been some sightings of an unregistered wolf in the nearby forest. We’re advising all owners to keep their pets inside or with them while outside, just as a precaution.” Keigo takes a step closer to you, as if some beast would burst out of thin air at you. “Thanks for the advice. Let’s go, you two.” Rumi commands as you trot behind her while Keigo is left to carry the majority of the bags. Just the ‘essentials’ as Rumi likes to say.

“Uh, you don’t think we should just leave? An untrained wolf is spotted in the woods and you still want to go through with this?” Keigo asks her once she comes to a stop at what’s likely the suite for you three. “No way. I saw Yu Takeyama outside, there’s no way in hell I’m letting her win. Our girl is going to wipe the floor with that pompous airhead’s mutt!” “I was really hoping you didn’t see her.” Keigo mutters as he trails in after you, groaning as he sets the bags down.

“First we need to bathe our gorgeous, perfect puppy,” she coos as she kneels down to rub behind your ear and take your leash off, “then a thorough brushing and pre-styling, top it off with a small bit of coconut oil in the morning and that blue ribbon in Grooming will be the first of our trophies!” She thrusts a closed fist in the air and starts rambling about the different ribbons and prizes you’ll be in the running for.

“C’mere sweet girl, Rumi is going to be like this for a while.” Keigo guides you into the en-suite bathroom, a fraction of the size of the bathroom back home, with a bag slung over his shoulder full of your unscented soaps and lotions. He wordlessly commands you to sit by the tub while he gets the water started, occasionally checking the temperature while he digs out every bottle deemed necessary.

“While we’re here, I don’t want you going outside without one of us, is that clear?” He looks at you sharply, the intensity was enough to have you nod along. “Yes, sir.” He sighs and looks back to the water before undoing your usual collar and helping you into the bath, while humming something quietly as you settle.

“Why does Rumi hate Yu?” The question slips from your lips as confusion marrs your face. “She doesn’t, well, not really. Those two are friends when they’re not competing, but when it comes to competitions or bets, that’s a different story altogether.” He explains as he tilts your head back and carefully pours some water, making sure to avoid your ears for now.

Keigo gently lathers your body in a soap with just a hint of lavender, strong enough for you to smell it but not enough for a judge to notice, and rinses it off. Ever since your first bath with Keigo, he’s always used lavender scented soaps or creams. It helps you sleep through some of your nightmares, but you think maybe he likes it too.

“I hate that I can’t use your normal stuff on you, and right before bed too. This unscented crap doesn’t even help add shine to your fur.” He complains lightly as he pulls out a pack of wipes to clean your ears out. You automatically shrink in on yourself, your ears flatten and your plush tail curls closer to yourself. “It’s okay, princess, I just need to make sure they’re clean. It won’t hurt, you know that.” He tries to soothe you as he pulls out two wipes and scoots closer to you.

“I’ll be really quick and I won’t do it again tonight, just be still for a few seconds, princess.” He whispers, and just as he said, was done in just a few seconds.

After that you had dried off and had lotion rubbed all over, your hair had been somewhat styled, and to top it off you had your claws trimmed and shaped.

“Look at my gorgeous girl~ so clean and beautiful! So ready to beat all those mutts tomorrow!” Rumi was brushing your tail and lavishing you in praise, when a piercing howl made you jump and start shaking. Keigo was quick to rush to the window and look out for the source of the noise while Rumi took you into her arms and gently rocked you back and forth, giving you gentle assurance that you were safe.

“I know you said it’s going to be fine to let her compete, but I’m really not liking how close that sounded.” He looks over his shoulder at Rumi, a concerned frown highlighting how worried he was. “You heard what that concierge said, as long as she’s not outside alone then she’ll be fine. It’s three categories over three days and then one final day crowning the winners, everything will be fine.” She consoles you both; her logic soothing Keigo’s worries and her gentle tone and touch soothing you.

“If you say so.” Keigo turns back to the window as another howl rings out, longer and seemingly closer than before.

——————

You were high on praise at this point! Two days of being poked and prodded, your skin and hair being rubbed and combed through, your manners and etiquette all being put to the test led to you going home with at least two shiny new ribbons. If you did good today too, then you’d have a new trophy for Rumi to display and who knows how much she’ll spoil you then!

“Who’s a perfect girl? You are!” Rumi gushed as you all but floated next to her, head feeling light and fuzzy with all the praise and rush of adrenaline from meeting so many people in such a short time. “One last day and then the worst of it is all over, then you can have lavender baths and your iced treats again.” Keigo leans down to carefully pet you, making sure not to ruin any of Rumi’s hard work.

“Excuse me, Ms. Usagiyama and Mr. Takami?” A man approaches you three just as you’re about to head to the same theater area as the days before. “I’m terribly sorry but we tried to reach you this morning, there’s been a change of venue for today’s category. It appears that the alleged wolf has fled the area, so the chairman wanted today’s exhibition to be done outside.” The older man bows as he finishes, and stands ready to lead you all out.

“You’re sure that it’s safe?” Keigo keeps Rumi from moving as he stares the man down. “Yes, the wolf was chased away from the nearby area and is being hunted by local rangers.” You look up to your owners and let out a whine, wanting to move already, and they both sigh before letting the man lead you outside.

“We’ve already moved everything for your convenience, and are allowing all trainers thirty minutes before the final round begins to finish grooming or styling.” You’re led to a low table covered with a pink blanket, your name monogrammed on the side, and left alone with your owners. Rumi inspects you and adjusts the tiniest detail while Keigo scans the tree line, staying as close as he can without knocking into you or Rumi.

“I don’t like this, not one bit.” “Same here, Kei, but you know the guy that runs these things. He’s all into ‘appreciating nature in its fullest form’, besides, if something does happen, we can just sue them.” Rumi counters as she steps back and looks you over. “Perfect. As always.” She nods to herself before scanning the crowd.

“None of these mutts can even hold a candle to our pretty girl.” She mutters as a pair of hybrids bolt from their owners, kicking up dirt and causing a ruckus. “Just be glad there aren’t any Todoroki dogs competing. We always came in second when one of them were showing.” Keigo’s comment irks Rumi enough to turn her icy glare onto him. “Yeah, well it’s unfair for the chairman of the organization to put his own pets in. Of course they’ll have the best coats and be the best behaved, he has the money to make it happen.”

You smile as the two start bickering, forgetting the chaos and noise of the crowd until a whistle is blown. “Trainers, please step away from your animals while today’s final judgements are made.” Someone calls out and you watch Rumi and Keigo huff before stepping away, though staying close to get to you should anything happen.

“Hm, Usagiyama’s pup looks well kept. Perfectly groomed, well-fed but not overfed, perfect size for her listed breed.” An older man’s voice comments while you keep your eyes focused ahead of you, just as you’ve been trained to.

You tense up as gloved hands pull your white bodysuit to the side, exposing your quivering sex. “Healthy coloring and lubricant production.” You clench your eyes shut and practice the breathing techniques Rumi taught you as fingers continue to prod and stroke your sensitive flesh.

“Very nice, Ms Usagiyama?” You exhale as the man finally steps away, and practically have to stop yourself from completely dropping onto the table. “After the announcement, I’d like to speak with you about another matter.” Afterwards, you see a man in a gaudy red suit walk over to another hybrid and quickly run through the same examination you just suffered through.

“I really hope he doesn’t want to fuck her.” “Keigo!” You swivel your head to look at the two as Rumi smacks his arm. “Ow! What?! Tell me you weren’t thinking the same thing!” He quietly yells, trying not to draw attention from anyone else. “Just because I was thinking it, doesn’t mean I was going to say anything.” Keigo leans closer, just staring at her.

“You’re hoping you can price gouge him if he wants her as a breeder, aren’t you?” This accusation makes Rumi look away as she mumbles half-baked lies and excuses. “Knew it. You know she wouldn’t be able to compete then, right? It’d be against the rules of bias and association, since she’d be a breeder to the chairman’s dogs.”

That statement makes Rumi freeze up, like she hadn’t thought of that, before she visibly deflates. “Fuck, are you serious? I thought I’d be able to negotiate for enough that we could take a nice vacation and still have some leftover for that new bow and collar set.” She pouts as Keigo shakes his head at her, before a piercing howl breaks through the quiet hum of the crowd.

“What was that?!” “I thought the wolf was gone?!” “My precious can’t stay out here if a wolf is here!” There are screams and yells all around you as everyone scrambles to get back inside. You leap down and look for Rumi and Keigo in the madness, but can’t find them and quickly become disoriented in the mob of people fleeing.

You manage to break through the stream of people and press yourself against a table, hiding partially underneath with your tail tucked between your legs as you start to shake. “Rumi…Keigo…” you whimper out as swathes of feet and paws rush by until no one else seems to be outside. “Come out, little one. It’s just you and me.” You yelp as the table covering you is knocked over, revealing a shaggy, half mange scarred skin-half white furred wolf or very very large dog hybrid looming over you with crazed blue eyes staring down at you.

“P-please, don’t eat me.” You manage to whimper out in between panicking breaths. “Aw, is the little puppy scared of the big bad wolf? Afraid I’m gonna bite ya and ruin that pretty little neck?” He leans closer and groans as he smells you, with a shudder running through his body. “You must be one of those dumb bitches that can’t speak. I’ll make sure you’re screaming tonight when I get ya back ho-“ a giant red figure barrels into the wolf.

“Get inside! NOW!” The scarred face of the wolf-dog you’ve seen in the lobby turns to you and snarls as he holds the younger creature down, with a bit of a struggle. “So she’s your new mate huh? I definitely want her now, you old geezer.” You hear the wolf cackle as you finally bolt away and to the nearest door, not looking back until you barrel into the chest of one of your owners, you don’t care who it is so long as you’re not being chased by that wolf.

“Shh, you’re okay baby. You’re safe now and Daddy is so sorry you were left alone.” Two pairs of arms encircle you and rub along your back or head while whispering apologies and calming words as frenzied whispers echo around you.

————

Keigo was angrily throwing things into suitcases and bags, trying not to wake you but quickly losing control of his rage. “I knew we shouldn’t have gone outside, I just knew it.” He mutters as he stuffs his own things back into his duffel bag and zips it up. “Keigo.” Rumi tries to get his attention but he ignores her as he piles the packed luggage by the door, ready to leave once the sun is up in the morning.

“Keigo Takami.” “What?!” He finally snaps and looks at her, trembling and breathing heavily. “She’s okay, we’re leaving tomorrow, and I already promised you that I wouldn’t put her through another competition for the rest of the year. Please, just calm down.” She nearly begs, a rarity for /the/ Rumi Usagiyama, and is about to reach for him when the door to their room is knocked on.

Rumi sighs and goes to open the door, revealing the chairman and one of his hybrids. “Ms Usagiyama and Mr Takami, I hope you’ll excuse this intrusion. There is something I wish to speak with you about.” “I’m sorry, Mr Tsukuba but for obvious reasons this just isn’t the best time.” Rumi tries to remain polite, but even she can hear just how tired she is from today’s events.

“It’s about what happened today. May we please come in?” Rumi looks back to her partner, slouched on the couch with his head down, before letting the pair in. “Thank you, how is your pup doing?” “She’s finally gotten some sleep. Poor thing wouldn’t let go of Keigo until she was asleep.” Tsukuba shakes his head and looks down, a deep frown showing just how ashamed he is that something so harrowing had happened.

“I truly am sorry, I was told that there was only one wolf and the area was clear of any other creatures that posed a threat. In fact, that’s why both Enji and myself are here.” The tall dog, or possibly wolf-dog, steps forward and briefly looks at his owner before clearing his throat. “The one that attacked was my first pup, Touya. He ran away years ago, but I have no doubt that was him.” “I don’t see how that information is needed, our Y/N is traumatized because of your mutt. So get to why you two are here.” Keigo finally speaks up, standing and glaring at the pair.

“Seeing the condition Touya was in, we’d like to capture him so he can be rehabilitated. That being said, he’s evaded all the traps that were set and-“ “Get the fuck out.” Keigo snarls, his mind connecting the dots long before the chairman could get to the point. “Keigo!” “No! I’m not letting you use her as bait to get your mutt back so just get out!” He storms over, held back by Rumi, as he lets his rage be known-consequences be damned!

Enji takes a half-step, snarling and growling, before Tsukuba pulls him back. “I simply wanted to update you on our efforts to trap him, and ask that you please wait until morning to leave. I’ve hired extra security to keep everyone safe as you all leave, but they won’t arrive until tomorrow. Thank you for your time, and have a pleasant rest of your evening.” With that, the chairman and his dog leave. It’s not enough to calm Keigo though, the fiery rage bubbling in his chest.

He has to get out, just get some air before he says or does something. “Where are you going? Keigo, You should stay here.” Rumi tries to grab his hand, but he pulls away from her as he starts to walk out the door. “I just need a minute, I’m going down to the gym. I’ll be back.” He doesn’t spare her a glance as he storms out.

“The nerve of that old bastard, wanting to use her like that.” He mutters as he nears the steel door to the hotel’s gym, before something hits the back of his neck and the pristine carpet meets his face.

He tries to move, speak, just a finger, but his body all but shuts down and refuses to move. “A shame we couldn’t come to a peaceful resolution, young man. I sincerely hope you’ll forgive me for borrowing your pup, don’t worry though, you’ll have her back before sunrise.” Keigo couldn’t keep his eyes open long enough to glare at the expensive shoes that stepped into his line of vision, and all too soon, they shut even as his heart hammered in his chest and burned with fury once more.

—

Rumi paced the length of the living room, her thoughts racing between anger and fear. She, of course, was angry that the chairman had even allowed the event to be held outside but, even more than that, he tried to show up and ask that they allow him to use their pup as bait.

She also was worried, seeing Keigo get that upset and the way he stormed off just made the pit of worry in her stomach grow.

The knocking at the door breaks her from her thoughts and she hurries over, opening it without thinking-or just thinking that Keigo just forgot his keycard. “Keigo-“ She’s cut off as a mask is shoved into her face and she’s pressed against the wall. “Stop! Y/N! Keigo…help.” She starts trailing off as her eyes grow heavy and her limbs feel like lead.

“She’s just about gone, take her and put her with the other one, Natsuo.” Tired eyes struggle to lift up and take in the white furred hybrid holding her up, a frown on his face as he obediently listens to the barked orders of the hybrid she saw just hours ago.

“Wh-what are…you doing?” She manages to get out before she’s carried out and down to the elevator, a terrified shriek being the only thing she hears before the doors shut.

——

Your ears twitch as you wake, hearing someone pacing outside of your room. You look around, noticing that Keigo wasn’t with you and neither was Rumi. Your ears flatten and you start to shake as you hear the slam of the front door then whispers before heavy footsteps make their way to your room.

“I know you’re in there, little pup. It’s in your best interest to come out on your own.” The hybrid that saved you earlier calls out to you through the door, and your body seizes up.

The hybrid that saved you was larger than the wolf, and you’re sure he’s much faster than you too. There was no chance of running away, and you’re sure you wouldn’t be able to hide from such an apex hybrid. He essentially had you trapped with no way out, aside from following him.

You let out a low, frightened whine as your claws dig into the bedding and your shoulders grow heavy with tension. Your body was taut and ready to try and run if you saw the chance, your heart was hammering away and your head grew fuzzy as your eyes were locked on the door.

You drop off the bed and bolt through the space under the giant hybrid the second he opens the door, just barely dodging his hands as they brush against the back of your tail. You let out a yelp and try to escape through the open front door, shrieking in terror as a heavy weight drops on top of you and wrestles you to the ground. “Stop moving, mutt.” The older hybrid growls as he holds you still, even as you try to blindly reach back and scratch him.

“I said, stop. If you want to see your owners again, stop.” He snarls into your flattened ear before a large clawed hand wraps around your collared neck. Even as you struggle to breathe and break from the panic engulfing you, your base instincts make you halt any movement. “You’re going to come with me, quietly, and you’ll sit and wait for commands like a good contest bitch. Then you’ll get to go home with your owners, got it?”

You whimper but nod anyway, anything to keep him from driving those sharp claws into your neck. He lets out a warning growl as he stands with you and practically drags you out of the room and down to the metal doors at the end of the hall. “I won’t let that whelp actually harm you, he’s done enough damage.” He says, as the doors open he all but pushes you in before boxing you in and pressing a button, the chime of the doors closing and shake of the box letting you know you’re stuck with him.

“Why? Where’s Keigo and Rumi?” You whimper out and slowly fall to your knees, adrenaline leaving you exhausted and filled with fear at what’s to come. “He already showed an interest in you, and until he comes out of wherever he’s hiding, you’re going to sit outside. I’ll be nearby, so will your owners and a group of other wolfhounds so quit your whimpering.” There’s another chime as the doors open and he grabs you by the bicep, dragging you to your feet, and leads you down a series of halls until you see the very same doors you went through just earlier that day.

He all but slams the door open and drags you over to what seems to be a clear area, but as you’re dragged closer you can make out a clear cage—just small enough for you to be able to sit up in. You’re shoved in and left alone as he marches away, concealed in the dark until you’re blinded by the sudden onslaught of lights all aimed at you.

You can’t see anything beyond the walls of light blinding you, it’s all shadows to you but you can hear the slightest shuffle of feet against the grass and the sound of something hitting the ground twice.

“Rumi, Keigo? Are you there?” You whisper out, afraid to speak too loud or that beast from earlier would show up. Only the crickets and cicadas greet your call.

Involuntarily, you let out a whine and whip your head back and forth in an effort to keep track of any possible movement. You don’t know how long you sat there, whimpering and imagining things moving in the shadows, but as your eyes grow heavy and you curl up with your knees tucked to your chest, you can just barely hear the sound of twigs snapping.

Your eyes fully open as you sit up again and look around for any change in the woods before you. There, in the distance, you can just make out the haunting glow of blue eyes staring back at you.

Suddenly, the cage feels too small and the world too quiet as those eyes move closer, and closer until you can just make out the face of the wolf that attacked you earlier. Blue eyes that seem to glow in the dark of the woods, scarred taut skin that holds a deranged grin aimed at you. White fur sprouts wildly from him, at least where there isn’t scarred skin, and you can barely see a large hand with sharp claws digging into the earth—ready to pounce on the sacrifice left for the beast.

You scoot back in your tiny cell until your back meets the cool glass as you watch him stalk closer, “S-stay away!” You attempt to growl at him as you curl up, trying to keep space between the two of you even with the help of the closed cage door. “Aw, such a cute little growl. You almost sounded serious.” He whispers as he grips onto the door to the cell and pulls it, the creaking of the hinges sends your heart racing like never before.

“I can almost hear your heart, you must be so scared of the big” he gives a tug to the door and the hinges bend, “bad,” you shriek as the door gives way and his paw snatches your ankle, “wolf.” He pulls you out to him, rocks and the earth scraping against your back until he has you under him.

Your chest aches as you struggle to breathe, fear freezing your veins and gripping your heart until you can’t focus on anything but the way he drags his tongue over his teeth as he stares down at you. How he stares down at you, ready to sink his teeth in and tear you in two. Time seems to move slowly as he raises a paw, razor sharp claws ready to cut you open, but then a white blur barrels into the wolf above you and you gasp for air as growls ring out to your right.

On shaky paws, you struggle to sit up and see another wolfhound struggling to restrain the wolf that had you pinned just seconds ago. You watch for a few seconds as the two fight before you snap out of your paralysis and end up bolting into the woods, only thinking of getting as far from danger as possible.

Short and shallow breaths puff out as you dash through the forest, wincing each time a stray branch or thorny bush cuts into you or tears at the white bodysuit still clinging to your body, but you can’t stop, not until you find somewhere safe to hide until morning.

At least, that’s what your instincts tell you. Hide, run, hide, run, hide, RUN, HIDE!

Your jumbled thoughts race through as you frantically look around, no hiding places in sight. Until your feet catch on a stray root, and you’re forced to stop moving, that is. That’s when you see the dead, nearly hollow, tree leaning against another fallen tree.

If it wasn't for your fall, you’d never have seen the opening past the curtain of leaves hanging off the bottom. You carefully crawl into the empty crevice, trying not to disturb anything until you’re sure you couldn’t be seen by anyone. You could only hope that the hybrid that dragged you out here caught that wolf, and that when morning came, your owners would come looking for you and take you home, where it’s safe and warm.

They’d dote on you and protect you, just like they did when they brought you home from the shelter. They’d treat you like glass and if you were lucky, you’d never have to leave home again.

Such thoughts unknowingly let a whimper slide out of you as you sat curled in your hiding spot, the ache of home and Rumi and Keigo too much for your gentle heart to bear. You bit your lip and shook your head, shaking away the thought, and focused once again on listening for any sounds. You had to be aware of the tiniest noise, if he found you again, then you may not get another chance to run.

Your ears twitch as you hear something, too soft to be footsteps but too heavy to be anything else. You don’t hear anything but the slightest scuffle of something brushing against the earth. You hear it move past you, then it’s behind your spot, then it moves past you one more time. You hold your breath until you’re sure you don’t hear the noise again, it’s been quiet since the wolf showed up, almost like the forest was afraid of him.

Still, you only exhale once you’ve covered your face and muffled any potential noise. You’re tempted to leave your little hiding spot, the ache in your legs only tempting you more, but the fear of being found makes you stay still. Your brow scrunches up as you hear something, but before you can start to listen there’s a crack in the wood right above your head. Black, sharpened claws pull at the dead wood before your stomach drops and your face crumbles.

He found you

You scramble to escape through the bottom as he tears at the decayed wood. You even manage to sprint past him before he growls, and you’re tackled into the dirt. Clawed hands hold you down while his legs and hips keep yours pinned down, unable to do much more than squirm in place. “Good little mate, you made things fun for once. Most contest bitches just roll over and show their belly, but you made me chase you. I might even go to the trouble of keeping you and our pups now.” You yip as he lightly bites your shoulder, deep enough to feel the sting but nothing more.

“No! Get off! Rumi! Keigo!” You defiantly yell and manage to get a hand free, blindly clawing at him. Your hand catches him for a second, long enough to make him lean back and snarl at you while you try to drag yourself out from under him. “You want to play dirty, Princess? Fine.” You choke on a yelp, the sound stuck in your throat as you’re roughly pulled back into place and the bottom of your bodysuit is ripped apart, exposing your cunt.

Once more, you try to reach back and scratch him, but this time, he grabs your paws and holds them behind your back as he shoves two of his clawed fingers into your unprepared hole. The rough intrusion has you crying out and freezing up at the same time, trying to adjust to the sudden change.

“That hurt, you know?” He nips at your ear as he roughly pumps his fingers into your quickly lubricating cunt. “If you wanted it rough, then you should’ve just said so, Princess. No need to scratch my pretty face.” He chuckles while you start shaking below him, knees threatening to knock together as he starts swiping at your clit.

"Such a pretty thing, all soft and dumb." You try not to whimper as he nips at your collarbone, and a low growl leaves him at the sound. "You want to learn a new trick, hm?" You shake your head and close your eyes, trying to pretend he's not affecting you, even as your pussy weeps for him with every twitch of his fingers.

You obviously don't fool him, but he doesn't take offense, just removes his claws from your dripping cunt and watches your hips try to chase his retreating hand as you fail to stifle a whimper "Aw, did you like that? C'mon, speak, and I'll give you a treat." He taunts you, and you nearly give in before shaking your head and try to move away from him. He doesn't let you, though, and you end up just wiggling around in the dirt before he drops his whole body on top of you, forcing you to be still under his weight.

Now that you're forced to lie still, with every movement restricted by the much larger wolf-hybrid on top, you can feel something hot and thick rubbing against you, just slow enough that you wouldn't have felt it if you were still able to struggle against him. A whimper claws its way out of you as something catches before steadily filling your waiting cunt.

Language seems to have been thrown out of the realm of possibility with each pull of his hips as the two of you soon devolved into a pair of grunting, moaning, and growling dogs.

"Filthy...show dog...knock you up...give you something real." He growled into your bare shoulder before yanking your hips up and forcing your head down into the dirt. His thrusts grew harsher with each passing moment while your mind grew hazy, and your core tightened as you desperately bucked your hips.

Drool and mud began to cover your cheek as your eyes involuntarily rolled back after a harsh thrust hit something that had your toes curling and your brain short-circuting. "There it is..." You hear the wolf-hybrid mutter as he nuzzles against your neck, sharpened teeth scraping against the delicate skin.

Distantly, you could hear something familiar that tugged at some corner of your mind; a voice, maybe? Why did it sound so familiar? Was that your name they were calling?

You cry out as he suddenly dug his fans into the side of your neck, his hips pistoning into you, forcing his knot against your cunt until the of you were locked together. Your eyes rolled back and your mouth left gaping as your body seemed to ignite.

Just as your mind started to shut off, fiery lighting racing through your body as you felt something filling you, something bright caught your lingering attention. It was all too much for you, though.

The chase, the fight, and the intense fucking had worn you down and left you on the brink of pure exhaustion like you've never known before. You couldn't help but go limp under the hybrid, your mate since he claimed you, and let yourself drift off.

--------------------

"Did we really have to bring him back with us?" Keigo glares at the newest edition to the house, for now, as he leans closer to Rumi. "Unless you wanted our pup and their puppies to become feral things in the woods, then yes. He's a lot calmer than he first was, so what's your deal?" She shoves at his shoulder and looks over at Dabi-or Touya, as he used to be called- as he suddenly rises and looks towards the door as the doctor walks out.

"Well, congratulations are in order. Your pup is, in fact, carrying a litter, I'd estimate she's roughly four weeks along and will need lots of rest. Most couplings with larger hybrid species leave their mate nearly always exhausted, so just make sure she eats and drinks water from time to time." Rumi stood to thank the doctor and walk her out as Keigo and Dabi glared at each other.

The sound of a quiet whine broke their staring contest as the former didn't hesitate to enter the closed room, throwing a look over his shoulder just before the door shut.
