Chapter Text
There once lived a man who was so beautiful that many rumored, he was a god. Every woman fell in love with him at first sight but none of them ever seemed to capture his heart. One day, a witch who lived in the forest came across the handsome man chopping wood in the forest. Like every other woman, she instantly fell in love with him. For weeks, she silently watched him until one day she got the courage to approach him. The man was as kind as he was handsome, and the witch knew he was the one for her. However, the man had already fell in love with another woman from his village and they were soon to be wed. Enraged and heart broken, the witch cursed the man so that no woman would ever love him. Every full moon from dusk til dawn, the man would become a large beast who killed everything in its path for eternity.
It is rumored that the only way for the curse to be broken is through a true love’s kiss.
“You shouldn’t be putting all those stories in their heads” My mother scolded while folding the clothes.
“They’re just stories to entertain them. Plus, everyone in the village knows the legend of the big bad wolf” I retorted.
“Instead of entertaining the children, you should be helping me do chores. You’re almost 23 so you should start learning how to be a good wife. Your father and I have already started to look for a husband for you. We’re not getting any younger and we want grandkids”
“Is it really necessary mother? Shouldn’t I marry someone I love and not the man who’s the most convenient?”
“Y/N, your father and I have been more than lenient with you. Other girls your age are married with children already so you should be thankful that we didn’t marry you off sooner” She scolded.
“It’s not fair! I want to marry someone that I chose for myself” I exclaimed.
My mother sighed, folding the last piece of clothing before turning to look at me.
“Y/N I don’t like this any more than you do but that’s just how things are. I was married off to your father and we eventually fell in love and had you”
“What if I don’t love him? What if he’s a brute who doesn’t treat me right?”
“I’m sure Mahito will treat you well”
“MAHITO?! That’s who you chose for me?” My mothers eyes widened realizing she let the name slip.
“I know you don’t like him but he’s the best hunter in town with plenty of money who can give you anything you want”
“Mother everyone knows Mahito is a cruel man who doesn’t care about anyone else but himself” I clenched my fists in anger.
“We’ve already decided and it’s final” She replied going to the kitchen.
Anger bubbled inside me along with the disgust of even thinking about that disgusting man who I would soon be wed to. There was no way in hell I was going to marry that man.
——
That night, I packed my things and left a letter for my parents explaining my absence. It was either running away or marrying a man who would kill me if I so much as breathed wrong.
I grabbed my things and fled town without looking back. I walked until I reached the forest and paused, the story of the wolf coming to my mind as I looked at the entrance of the dark forest dimly illuminated by the full moon and my lantern. In hindsight, it may have been stupid idea to decide to leave on a full moon but I'd rather be eaten by a wolf than live a miserable life as a housewife for Mahito.
“There’s no going back now” I muttered and entered the forest.
I was half an hour into my journey when I heard the bone chilling sound of a loud howl.
Just a regular wolf. I’m okay.
I took a deep breath and continued walking. The forest was eerily silent, and I jumped at any little sound. As I walked, I heard what sounded like a large twig snapping and froze. I looked around seeing nothing but stayed still and listened. It was only then that I noticed the low growl of an animal.
I turned around and standing there a few feet away from me was a large black bear. I was in its territory now and it did not look happy. Living so close to the forest you were always taught what to do in case you ever encountered a bear but my mind blanked. I was terrified unable to move as I watched it creep closer.
“Fuck it” I turned around and ran as fast as I could. I knew there was no way in hell I could outrun a bear, but I was not going to sit there and let it kill me without trying.
The sound of the bear was getting closer as my legs started to burn. I made a sharp right turn and tripped on the roots of a large tree. I looked back and the bear was gone. I looked around confused wondering if by some miracle it had given up on chasing me.
“Where the fuck did it go?” I whispered standing up. I felt something wet running down my face. I touched it and looked down at my hand realizing it was blood. My mind felt a bit fuzzy but I could still stand fine. When I turned around, I could make out what looked like a cabin.
I’d never heard about anyone living out in the woods this far from town. That’s when I also noted the large sign by the tree next to me.
Death roams here
How reassuring
I considered going over to see if anyone lived there until I spotted something in the bushes. I walked a bit closer so my lantern could illuminate what it was and to my horror, made eye contact with a large wolf. It was nothing like any regular wolf I’d ever seen. It was huge with dark brown fur and light brown eyes and was nearly as large as the bear.
Now I was totally fucked
It jumped in front of me and let out a deep guttural growl that sent chills all throughout my body. I stepped back in fear and that’s the last thing I remembered before everything went black.
——
When I woke up, my head was throbbing, and I was in an unfamiliar room. I sat up from the large bed and looked around. The room was large with a big window to my right that looked out into a garden and there was a red plush couch in the center of the room by the fireplace. A large wooden wardrobe by the wall on my left caught my eye. It looked handmade with intricate designs on the doors.
I swung my legs to the side of the bed and attempted to get up but failed when I sharp pain shot up my leg. I looked down and my ankle looked swollen. I must’ve twisted it last night and didn’t even realize.
“I’m glad you’re awake. I thought you’d might like to eat something” I turned my head and in the doorway was a tall handsome man carrying a tray of food.
He had pink hair with brown eyes and a strong jawline. He was dressed in nice clothes that complemented his strong build. In all my life, he was by far the most beautiful man I’d ever seen.
“Where am I?” I asked confused.
“I found you passed out in the forest last night. My name is Yuji, I brought you in and bandaged your head wound. Your ankle is pretty messed up though, so you’ll need to rest” He set the tray down on the bed and took a seat on the wooden chair next to me.
“Thank you for bringing me in. The last thing I remember was seeing a large wolf before I blacked out” Now that he was closer, something about his eyes looked so familiar.
It took me a second to realize that he had the same brown eyes as the wolf I’d seen last night. Dread poured over me as the thought of him being the wolf from the story I’d always heard about came to mind. He must’ve noticed my demeanor change and he quickly stood up.
“I’ll leave you alone now. I’ll be in the living room if you need anything”
“It’s you isn’t it? The cursed man from the story” He paused, looking at me.
“And what if I said I was?” He questioned.
I chewed my bottom lip not knowing what to say. The man from the story was said to be kind and so far, he hadn’t done anything to prove otherwise. When I didn’t say anything, he walked out of the room and shut the door.
——
Days passed of him just bringing me food and never saying more than a few words. When my ankle healed enough to walk, I would take strolls through the garden while Yuji tended to all the different kinds of flowers he had planted while I told him about my life and how my parents wanted me to marry a horrible man. One day I finally got the courage to ask him about his past.
"Have you always been here alone?" I asked.
"No. Before I was...cursed, I lived here with my fiancé Yuko. She was the most kind and elegant woman I had ever known. Since the first day that I met her, I knew she was the one I wanted to build a family with and grow old together. But as you know, our happily ever after didn't come true" I could see the hurt in his eyes as he spoke. He seemed like a genuine and kind man who only wanted to live a normal life with the person he loved.
"I don't mean to pry but, what happened between the two of you?"
"She was there the night the witch cursed me. Obviously when she saw the horrid beast I had become, she ran away and never looked back. The last thing I heard about her was that she'd moved away to a new town and married another man" My heart broke seeing him so hurt.
"I'm so sorry. No one deserves to go through that, much less live all alone for so many years"
"You get used to it after a while. But it can get lonely some days" I walked towards him and knelt beside him, placing a tender hand on his arm.
"Then what if I stay here with you?" The question sounded absurd even to my ears but for some reason, I felt a connection with him.
"Why would you want to live with a man you just met instead of going back to your family?" He asked puzzled.
"I may have my family but if I go back, I'll just be doomed to be married off to Mahito. Who knows what he'll do to me once I have to live with him" I shrugged.
He stayed quiet for a moment, probably questioning if it was a good idea for us to live together.
"I guess it wouldn't be bad to have some company. You can stay here as long as you promise not to go out at night" He turned and looked at me with those big brown eyes of his.
"Deal" I smiled happily. "Does that mean I get to decorate my room to my liking?"
"Yes" He smiled.
----
"Much better" I dusted my hands off and admired my work. After lunch I decided reorganize my room and do some cleaning since it was a bit dusty. "Time for a bath!".
After I bathed and changed into my night clothes, I went to the dining hall to have dinner with Yuji.
"I made some tomato soup with grilled cheese. I hope you like it" He set the bowl of soup down infront of me, the smell making my mouth water.
"Thank you" I replied before digging into my food. It was just as delicious as it smelled.
Yuji was definitely a man of many talents.
"So, about this Mahito guy, he won't come looking for his lost bride, will he?" He grinned.
"I highly doubt it. Even he is too much of a coward to go out in these woods. If anything, he'll probably find a new victim to marry" I chuckled.
"Good" That single word made butterflies flutter in my stomach for some reason.
Did he mean good as in he was worried about me?
---
That night all I could think about was our conversation during dinner. I couldn't get the delusional thoughts about him possibly liking me out of my head. I tossed and turned in bed until eventually I was able to fall asleep. In my dream, I was walking in the garden holding Yuji's hand while he told me he loved me. When we were about to kiss, a sword pierced through his chest nearly stabbing me in the process. I screamed as Yuji's lifeless body crumpled in my arms revealing Mahito standing behind him, holding a bloody sword.
"Now we can get married" He laughed manically.
I woke up in a cold sweat with someone holding me tightly.
"It's okay Y/N, it was just a dream" Yuji rubbed my back comfortingly.
I touched my face and realized that I had been crying. I looked up into his eyes and felt a wave of relief wash over my body seeing him healthy and alive.
"Please don't leave me" I clung tightly onto his shirt fearing that if I let go, he'd disappear.
He nodded his head and placed a tender kiss on my forehead. The faint light of the moon filtering through the curtains illuminated his face. We were so close and his lips looked so soft and inviting. He had a gravitational pull on me like the sun does on the earth.
Before I could think twice, I kissed him. For a moment I swore there was a faint flow emitting from him and he reciprocated the kiss. It was slow at first and slowly turned more desperate. We kissed like there was no tomorrow and I let my hands wonder up his shirt and over his sculpted torso.
“Are you sure you want this? I don’t want you to do anything you don’t want to” He asked gently.
”Im sure Yuji. I want to do everything with you and I want every part of you to be mine as I every part of me is yours” I smiled
He blushed at my words and kissed me again. I laid back on the bed and let him take the lead. He slowly kissed down my neck while one hand slid up my leg and lifted up my night gown, exposing my panties.
A low moan slipped past my lips when he pressed the pad of his thumb against my clothed cunt. It was the first time I’d ever let a man touch me so intimately and let myself be exposed in such a vulnerable manner.
“You’re so wet” He breathed against my ear.
He sat up and took his shirt off allowing me to see his muscular body. His torso was littered with small scars and three big ones that stretched from his left pec to just above his right hip. He shifted uncomfortably under my gaze like he was self conscious about them. I took this chance to flip us over so that I was straddling his lap.
“You don’t need to be embarrassed. Scars are just marks that show all the battles and hardships you’ve survived” I tenderly kissed each and every scar and up his jawline.
“Thank you Y/N” He whispered lovingly.
I smiled and took off my gown and grabbed his hands, placing them on my breasts. A faint blush dusted his cheek bones. He groaned lightly when I rubbed myself against his growing boner, my body begging for more friction. I picked up the pace, feeling tension building in my core. Right when I felt like I was about to cum, I stopped.
“Please..Y/N I need you” He lifted his hips trying to press himself against me.
“Then take me like how you imagine it when you stroke your cock at night” I didn’t know where my sudden boldness came from but it made everything more sensual.
I got off of him and laid on the bed next to him. At this point my cunt was throbbing for attention so I reached my hands down pulled off my panties. He sat up and watched as I pushed two fingers into myself. I moaned using the other hand to play with my hard nipple.
He quickly got off the bed, standing in front of me and pulled his pants and briefs off. I purposely widened my legs allowing him full view of my fingers penetrating my wet cunt. In and out. His hand worked up and and down his hard cock, groaning my name over and over.
I dug the heels of my feet into the mattress when my orgasm hit me like a tidal wave. Yuji pumped his hand a few more times before his load shot out hot and heavy. His gaze roamed my naked body hungrily, not satisfied yet.
“Y/N please. Let me be inside you now” He pleaded moving closer.
”Open your mouth” Confused, he opened his mouth and I shoved the two fingers that were in my cunt into his mouth.
My pussy throbbed seeing him suck my fingers clean like a starved animal. I pulled my fingers out of his mouth and moved up the bed for him to get on. He crawled onto the bed and in between my legs, positioning himself at my entrance.
He slowly pushed his cock inside me and we both let out a groan. I gripped the sheets as he began to move in and out at a slow but steady pace. I felt some slight pain at first but it slowly turned into pure bliss. Fingering myself was nothing compared to his cock penetrating me and molding the inside of my cunt to his size.
”Fuck- you’re so fucking tight” He groaned picking up the pace.
He grabbed one of my legs and placed it on his shoulder allowing him to go deeper. I practically almost screamed when I felt a sudden strong jolt of pleasure shoot up my spine when he hit a sweet spot inside me.
“Right there- oh my- that feels so good” I moaned feeling saliva run down my cheek from my mouth being wide open.
He thrusted faster and faster hitting that spot with perfect precision every time. I felt another tidal wave hit me but stronger this time, my whole body shaking as I arched into him. He continued thrusting into my now sensitive cunt while searching for his own orgasm until he finally came, shooting white strings of cum into my womb.
We both breathed heavily, feeling the bliss from my orgasm slowly fading away and now a sudden drowsiness overtake my body. He pulled out and tucked me into bed next to him.
“Goodnight my love”
