4SUNDOWN
Jasper
Every unmated orc in the lodge had their eyes on Alex now.
He had studied the map just like I had asked him to, and then he ate a small dinner with me.
Now he stood in front of all of us with the other humans and satyr. Some of them were mated, some unmated but wanting to be with an orc. The cool air was scented with the smell of burning wood from the fire pit and lust.
Alex was nervous, and while his gaze had roamed my brethren, they always came back to me.
Some of our games were barbaric, but I enjoyed every moment of them.
Alex did too. But I had wanted to make sure. I’d asked him a few times now, giving him time to back out. Giving him the chance to tell me he didn’t want this.
But, he did.
I stepped forward, raising my voice over the grumbles and laughs of my brethren.
“Brothers!” I bellowed, raising my hand into the air. “The Solstice begins tonight, and to celebrate we start with a hunt. What better way to honor our ancestors than by claiming our fated mates?”
They roared, all of their faces shining with desire and excitement. I felt the nervousness of our prey, could practically hear their hearts hammering in their chests.
I turned to look at them, giving them a dark grin. I met Alex’s gaze and wished I could take him now, to sink my tusks into his skin while my cock splayed his ass.
But not yet. Soon.
Soon, he would be mine.
Some of the others would try to get him. Not Gregg. While he was participating in the hunt, Gregg was mated to his satyr, Will— who stood next to Alex with the same wicked gleam in his eyes that Gregg had.
I was really only concerned about one other orc, Rabe.
He’d been eyeing Alex a little too closely for my liking.
Didn’t matter. I’d fight him if needed.
“Prey,” I announced loudly, looking at the group we would be chasing. “You will have a fifteen minute lead time. All of you know the trails and are welcome to go into the woods. Do not go past the river, as that is where our lovely forest ends. Are you ready to run?”
I was met with a bunch of nods, their nervous energy making my mouth water. I loved the anticipation, the way they danced with a hint of fear.
“I’m going to count down,” I said, raising my hand into the air. I held up a three— “Three!” Two… “Two!” One…. “One!”
“GO!”
All of them took off. Only Alex hesitated for a moment.
“Run, boy,” I growled, my chest blooming with heat.
Alex made a noise and turned, running off into the dark.
“He’s mine, Jasper,” Rabe chuckled, giving me a dark look.
I cocked my head, my nostrils flaring. “Sure, if you want to die. He is my mate. I brought him here. He will be claimed by me.”
“My cock says he’s mine.”
“I can cut off your cock then,” I growled. “And then shove it up your ass. Touch him, and you will face consequences. Go after one of the others.”
