Otter Creek Exacerbating the Dread [Mature]

@Crescendo Warning: Non-consensual sexual activity ahead.

Yesterday, Somnia had abandoned the safe-haven that the Caldera was. She would return, no doubt, but there was something that drove her away temporarily. It was Ashton. His absence had been noted by the whole pack. While some could believe that he had simply left without a word, Somnia could not. Something had to have happened to him.

She had left without a word to anyone to try and find a trace of him. With her insides aching with sorrow, Somnia failed to recognize that it was incredibly unlikely she'd find him. She had no leads whatsoever. But, that didn't stop her from stupidly setting out to try and find at least a trace of him. With no leads, she just meandered about the Teekon Wilds.

Somnia still withheld enough common sense to check Big Salmon Lake first, as it was closest. With no trace of him there, she followed a river up through the Heartwood. From there, she traveled east along Whitefish River until she was at Greatwater Lake. As it was getting dark when she arrived, she slept there for the night. With no trace of Ashton there in the morning, she started to follow Otter Creek.

Her mind was blank except for one goal; find a trace of Ashton. Even the slight rumbling of her stomach didn't deter her from following the creek mechanically.

(Kadence if you is stalking this, it is predated ;)

Crescendo was quite pleased with himself. He had imprinted himself upon the girl from Swiftcurrent, leaving her shaken and traumatized. He had a habit of doing that to people, he thought gleefully. He stalked through the trees, lost in thought, when the sight of a girl up ahead made him smile again. He licked his chops. "Yum"

As he closed in, he noticed she walked with an almost robot-like step. She seemed lost in sorrow. Crescendo furrowed his brow, decided on a character, and made his move. "Hey there, pretty." he rumbled. "You look sad. Can I cheer you up?" He plastered on his best concerned face, putting his extremely handsome looks to good use. He gave her a sad little smile himself, though behind a veil of lies his eyes burned with lust. He would have her, too.

Somnia stopped as a black wolf appeared in front of her. As far as she could tell in her current state of mind, he seemed sincere. The compliment was noticed, but pretty much went over her head. The offer for him to cheer her up though was interpreted as him trying to help her. "Maybe, it depends..." She started.

Before thinking it through, she launched into the reason why she was here. "My pack-mate, Ashton, he disappeared. He couldn't have just left us!" Left me... Her brain determined. "He's golden with with green eyes, and he talks funny - but a good funny. Have you seen him?" Somnia looked up at him with an innocent gaze, her eyes pleading for him to help her.

Crescendo hid a grin. Oh, he would play with her, this one. His expression turned to one of sadness. "I saw a male like the one you describe. He actually was heading for the mountains. As I recall, he was with a beautiful girl. It was obvious he was in love with her. Following her around with big puppy eyes!" This girl, he was sure, felt something for this 'Ashton'. "He seemed very happy, his head in the clouds. We had a nice conversation, too!" he added brightly. Oh, he wanted to take her, but would bid his time.

Somnia stared at him in disbelief. It couldn't be Ashton! But what if it was? Her mind argued. It couldn't have been him, he would never do that! But... What if it had been him? How many other golden hippies with green eyes were there? There was Mikael, but he didn't have the funny speech. The black wolf in front of her said he talked to him, which meant that the wolf must've talked funny.

So it was Ashton... But why? Why was he with another girl? Hadn't he claimed that he loved her? Why was he making puppy eyes at another wolf? Wasn't she the one who did that for him? Made those what he called 'doe-eyes'? Somnia stood rooted to the spot as she thought. "Why?" She asked just loud enough for him to hear as tears pricked the corner of her eyes.

Crescendo walked towards her, gave her cheek a quick lick. "Sometimes, people aren't what we expect them to be." he said quietly, barely restraining himself from leaping onto her back and taking her right now. He wanted her in tears, helpless in her sadness. Wait, he silently commanded himself.

Crescendo paused before adding. "He's happy, and I think that pretty girl was looking a bit round. He might even have pups! I know it's hard, but feel happy for him."

Somnia started to tremble a little as Crescendo 'comforted' her and said more. Ashton couldn't have gotten another wolf pregnant! ...Well he could've.... But he wouldn't have! For that wolf to be showing, he would've had to do it back when he was in the pack! But then.... But.... Why though? Hadn't he loved her?

Should Somnia feel happy for him? Probably. Wasn't that was what love was about? Wanting to make sure they were happy at all times? Was he unhappy with her? Was that why he left for another girl? That meant it was her fault he left! She caused him to leave! That idea made the tears overflow. Somnia took deep, shaky breaths as tears streamed down her face.

Slight PP here, tell me if you want me change something.

Plan A had succeeded, leaving the girl sobbing and trembling. Now was time for him to reap the rewards. "Don't cry, baby. I'll cheer you up." He smiled darkly, and darted behind her. He lunged for her scruff, forelegs wrapped around her midsection. He squeezed her, and started nipping and lapping her neck fur. His eye glowed with lust, but he held himself for a moment, waiting for her reaction.

Now that her thought process had started a chain reaction in her mind, Somnia became oblivious to what he had said. He had said something, but the words had flown in one ear and right out the other. The one thing that did bring her out of wallowing in her grief and sorrow was when there was sudden weight on her back. "Wh-what are you doing?" She questioned, looking over her shoulder. Simultaneously, Somnia sniffed, trying to prevent snot leaking out of her nose.

Somnia should've known what he was trying to do - would've known, had it not been in these circumstances. But, the flurry of emotions she was experiencing towards Ashton's betrayal fogged her mind. That, and her own innocence. Despite having seen her Alphas do it in front of her, her own mind had never strayed in the direction of her actually doing it. Plus, the only time she had ever been on someone's back was when she was playing with Ashton. If this wolf wanted to play, couldn't he see that she was not in the mood right now?

Crescendo said nothing. She was obviously confused and disoriented, and Crescendo used that to his advantage. He shoved her tail aside, and thrust into her in one smooth action. He groaned in pleasure, his eyes twin bonfires. He rocked back on forth, hard and violently. His forelegs squeezed her tightly, he held her tightly against him as he rocked.

Somnia's mind was still trying to catch up with all that was happened when she realized what was happening. Inside, she was freaking out. No! This... This couldn't be happening! Yet somehow, it was. It seemed unreal, as if she were in a foggy dream, yet she was awake. Her mind struggled to grasp this reality, neglecting the external struggle in the process. So, for a few long moments Somnia simply stood still, stunned. She was still crying and trembling, but those involuntary actions went unnoticed.

Finally, after her mind finished won its internal struggle, and that this was happening, Somnia freaked. With no idea what to do in this situation, she reacted in a spastic manner. She shook herself, she growled, she tried moving. Whatever simple actions she could come up with to try and free herself, she did them.

With a final thrust, Crescendo dismounted his pony. His eyes gleamed with pleasure, his true intentions clear now. He circled his prey soundlessly, amazed that she had let him ride her for so long. His plan had worked even better then he had thought it would. He smiled, a dazzling one that showed off all of his canines. "Feeling better now, darling?"

His smile faded at her expression, the way she had seemed in a frenzied craze against his grip. "Lets keep this our little secret, girl. We wouldn't want anything to happen to poor Ashton now, would we?" His eyes assumed a threatening look, letting her imagine what would happen to Ashton if she snitched.

Last post by me, thanks for the thread!

Finally, the brute got off of her. Somnia stood, trembling as he circled around her. Her gaze flickered all over the place, terror evident in her gaze. His words just made her sick. The urge to vomit was currently strong, but an even stronger urge was to flee, to get as far away as possible. The blackmail and the threatening look only intensified that feeling. A small whine escaped her; the only answer he would get.

As soon as an opening was found in his circling, Somnia made a run for it with her tail between her legs. She ran without looking back, too scared to check if he was following her.

Crescendo happily gave chase, yelling out in-comprehensive words and remarks at her fleeing behind. His teeth snapped at her, and eventually, after he felt she was traumatized enough, he let her go. Crescendo was quite pleased with himself. The second-no third one in a week. Gloating to himself, he pranced back to the shadows he had come from. Silver eyes were the only thing that distinguished him from the darkness, and when he shut them, he became on with the shadows once more.
