Speaker:Initiation to the Wolf Way”
Speaker:by Tannihn My name is Matthew,
Speaker:I am not a great man,
Speaker:nor am I an important person.
Speaker:I am a simple native of Qatan like many others,
Speaker:although I was not born there.
Speaker:My parents had left our land when they were still young to offer me a different life from their brothers and sisters.
Speaker:Unlike them, I went to a modern school.
Speaker:I read books, watched movies, and enjoyed student life.
Speaker:I worked as a librarian and started a family away from tradition.
Speaker:However, on this day when I am getting old,
Speaker:I want to leave a trace of what I have experienced to my descendants
Speaker:so that we do not forget where we came from.
Speaker:I want something left of who we were
Speaker:and the legacy that our blood carries.
Speaker:So, I will tell you my story as faithfully as I can remember it.
Speaker:I will begin with the day when, as a young adult,
Speaker:my life as a city dweller was transformed
Speaker:and never returned to what it was.
Speaker:I still remember it with crystal clarity. **********
Speaker:The landscape flew by at a high speed.
Speaker:My eyes didn’t have time to focus on a tree or a small hill
Speaker:when they had already flown out
Speaker:of my field of vision.
Speaker:The sky was a perfect blue
Speaker:with just a few scattered clouds wandering.
Speaker:The sun, still low on the horizon,
Speaker:drew majestic shadows on the vivid green plain and the farms.
Speaker:The train, which was moving almost perfectly silent,
Speaker:was passing through the counties of West Havre
Speaker:right into the hinterland of Qatan,
Speaker:the land of my ancestors.
Speaker:I came from Beaufort, the prefecture of the province of Adurie,
Speaker:where I had just finished my studies.
Speaker:A few days before,
Speaker:I had received a letter from my childhood friend Ikita
Speaker:telling me that I had reached the age of initiation according to our customs
Speaker:and that I had to travel to our cairn
Speaker:to complete the rituals.
Speaker:My parents had never told me about this.
Speaker:I didn't know much about the culture of my tribe.
Speaker:Ikita often came to the house in the summer when we were children.
Speaker:We were inseparable,
Speaker:exploring the grove behind my house.
Speaker:We would hunt evil spirits
Speaker:around the den we had built.
Speaker:We shared so much in our imaginations
Speaker:and activities as well
Speaker:as in our curiosity about each other and life.
Speaker:But when we were about fifteen,
Speaker:he stopped coming
Speaker:and didn't answer my letters.
Speaker:After all these years,
Speaker:I had stopped waiting for him.
Speaker:So, I was surprised to receive this message.
Speaker:However, I was happy about it,
Speaker:so much so that I took the first available train
Speaker:and then had just enough time to tell my family that I was leaving.
Speaker:I was still drinking my black tea when the train arrived at the station.
Speaker:It was built with white logs and its facade looked quite simple.
Speaker:I had never been here before,
Speaker:but it wasn’t unlike what I expected to see in such an uncivilised land.
Speaker:I grabbed my backpack and finished my cup in a hurry
Speaker:before stepping out of my cabin
Speaker:but not without some trepidation.
Speaker:I wondered how much Ikita had changed.
Speaker:There was no one in the corridors;
Speaker:I must have been the only one to come all the way here.
Speaker:Without further ado,
Speaker:I went down to the dock.
Speaker:The cool air bit my face.
Speaker:I wrapped myself in my hoodie to recover some warmth
Speaker:and looked around.
Speaker:A little further on I noticed a person my age.
Speaker:He had beautiful
Speaker:mid-length black hair blowing in the morning breeze.
Speaker:His dark brown, almond-shaped eyes sparkled
Speaker:as he stared at me with a broad smile.
Speaker:He was wearing a simple red and black checked shirt,
Speaker:worn blue jeans and battered combat boots.
Speaker:It didn't take me more than a second
Speaker:to recognize
Speaker:him. “Ikita!” I shouted happily,
Speaker:waving my hand. No sooner had I called out to him
Speaker:than he was already running towards me.
Speaker:I opened my arms and welcomed him with a frank embrace.
Speaker:He hugged me tightly
Speaker:and seemed extremely happy to see me.
Speaker:“Matthew, it's been so long,”
Speaker:He almost cried in an emotional voice.
Speaker:“Six years, uh?” I replied with affection
Speaker:but with a tinge of sadness.
Speaker:“Why did you stop corresponding with me?
Speaker:You never answered any of my letters.”
Speaker:“It's not like I didn't want to.”
Speaker:He straightened up
Speaker:and dried the tear that was running down his cheek.
Speaker:“I was forbidden to do so.”
Speaker:“I don't understand.”
Speaker:He looked obviously embarrassed by my questioning look.
Speaker:I began to wonder if it was related to my parents’ departure from the tribe.
Speaker:I remembered these moments of embarrassment in our childhood
Speaker:when Ikita would evade my questions.
Speaker:There were also those times when I asked my parents about the tribe,
Speaker:but they had always refused to answer my inquiries.
Speaker:I never questioned this behaviour.
Speaker:At least not until recently.
Speaker:Ikita ran his hand through his hair
Speaker:and looked away. “Let's just say the elders didn't want you to know
Speaker:certain things,” He sadly informed me.
Speaker:“When I finished my initiation,
Speaker:it was decided that I should cut our ties off.
Speaker:I never wanted that,
Speaker:but I had no choice.”
Speaker:“What changed?” “I've...
Speaker:earned stripes, you might say.”
Speaker:He beckoned me to follow him,
Speaker:and we set off towards the entrance to the station.
Speaker:I couldn't see any lights or anything electrical in the hall.
Speaker:I felt as if I had returned to the Stone Age.
Speaker:There was not a living soul behind the counter;
Speaker:the place didn't look very busy.
Speaker:We walked through the front door,
Speaker:and I noticed a pickup truck with a couple of people who looked like hunters.
Speaker:Their rifles were prominently displayed,
Speaker:and they were looking in our direction, beers in hand.
Speaker:The older one was smiling at me,
Speaker:showing a very sloppy set of teeth;
Speaker:he lifted his bottle and waved at me.
Speaker:There was something I
Speaker:didn't like about his gaze.
Speaker:“Don't mind them,”
Speaker:My best friend suggested.
Speaker:“They are morons.” “They look to have been waiting for us.”
Speaker:“Because they have…”
Speaker:We continued walking along the road towards the coniferous forest, moving away from the group that kept staring at us.
Speaker:I felt uncomfortable, even threatened.
Speaker:I waited until they were out of sight.
Speaker:“Who the fuck are they?”
Speaker:I asked Ikita. He sighed before answering me.
Speaker:“Members of the Murphy family. They don't...
Speaker:really like us.” “And what did you...
Speaker:what did we do to cause this?”
Speaker:“We exist. That's enough for them.”
Speaker:He turned around to see a very sceptical face.
Speaker:“You'll soon understand.”
Speaker:We walked for a whole hour in the deep forest until we came to a large clearing.
Speaker:There was a small hamlet there which was familiar to me.
Speaker:I remembered the pictures from my parents’ old album
Speaker:and recognised the large reindeer statue near us.
Speaker:This was where my tribe used to live.
Speaker:I stopped to get closer to the sculpture.
Speaker:The details of the animal surprised me.
Speaker:Each part of the body was extremely realistic.
Speaker:The antlers were majestic,
Speaker:and I could barely feel the fur with my hand.
Speaker:I stared at it and admired it so much I was fascinated.
Speaker:“What exactly does this animal symbolise here?”
Speaker:I asked my friend.
Speaker:“He’s the guardian of the forest.
Speaker:He protects us from evil spirits.
Speaker:We often pay him homage.”
Speaker:“I see. I had forgotten that the area was full of supersti...”
Speaker:I immediately shut up in horror,
Speaker:realising that I was about to say something very disrespectful.
Speaker:Ikita said nothing,
Speaker:shrugged and gave as his only answer
Speaker:an enigmatic smile
Speaker:before silently walking away, arms behind his head.
Speaker:I was so embarrassed
Speaker:that I just followed him with a quick step.
Speaker:There was plenty of life here.
Speaker:Young children were running on the dirt road,
Speaker:rolling on the ground, fighting,
Speaker:but they were laughing their heads off too.
Speaker:Men and women went about their daily routine in front of their rustic houses, cleaning, cooking, and talking.
Speaker:They all greeted my friend as he passed before them. I could really
Speaker:feel the respect in their voices.
Speaker:However, I noticed quite quickly that they were avoiding me
Speaker:and ignoring my own greetings.
Speaker:“What a welcome…” I complained.
Speaker:“Don't worry about it.”
Speaker:Something was clearly wrong,
Speaker:and his nonchalant attitude was strange.
Speaker:Between the behaviour of the hunters and the tribesmen,
Speaker:I couldn't help but feel that Ikita was hiding something important from me.
Speaker:Something was going on
Speaker:and my arrival was not to everyone's liking.
Speaker:“Ikita, I...” “We're going to my place,”
Speaker:He interrupted me abruptly.
Speaker:“We don't really have time to visit.
Speaker:Your initiation is to start today,
Speaker:or it will be too late.
Speaker:late." “What? I'd at least like to settle down.
Speaker:I've been on the train for twenty hours and…”
Speaker:“Matt, there's really no time.”
Speaker:He was staring at me with a worn and tired look.
Speaker:He had been a playful person in my memory,
Speaker:but he didn't look like a teenager right now.
Speaker:I held back from answering
Speaker:and decided to trust him.
Speaker:We passed through the village in full view of its inhabitants and reached a hut hidden in the bushes at the edge of the clearing.
Speaker:If the dwellings I had seen a moment before were rather recent and well-built,
Speaker:this one was much older.
Speaker:The wood was dark and showed the weight of the ages.
Speaker:A few crates were lying outside, as well as a lot of various tools.
Speaker:“We've arrived!” Ikita opened the door
Speaker:and invited me in.
Speaker:I found a single room in disarray with
Speaker:everything and anything everywhere.
Speaker:The bed was unmade and covered with different clothes simply thrown there.
Speaker:The rest of the room was not much different from my student room in terms of cleanliness,
Speaker:to be honest. In one corner was a workshop with many handmade trinkets
Speaker:sitting carelessly.
Speaker:Surprisingly, a pleasant smell of sawdust pervaded the room barely masking that
Speaker:of my childhood friend.
Speaker:He sat down on the bed casually.
Speaker:He was still as handsome as he had been then,
Speaker:if not more so. “You can put your things here.
Speaker:I'll fix you something to sleep tonight when we're done.”
Speaker:“You live in an interesting place,”
Speaker:I said, throwing my bag on the
Speaker:bed. “Since Dad died,
Speaker:I'm the one who has to take care of the house and his responsibilities.”
Speaker:“You must be an important person now,
Speaker:the way the tribesmen were talking to you.”
Speaker:He spread his arms and legs and dropped limply onto the mattress.
Speaker:“Yeah, kinda like that.
Speaker:I'm the shaman of the tribe now that he's gone.”
Speaker:“That's... great, I suppose?”
Speaker:I thought for a few seconds.
Speaker:“I owe it to you to be allowed to be here then.
Speaker:It's clear that this...
Speaker:initiation you told me about was forbidden to me before.
Speaker:before.” “True. But it's not anymore! And time is running out.”
Speaker:He stood up suddenly
Speaker:and went to a chest near the workshop.
Speaker:“We need to finish preparing for the ritual.”
Speaker:He took out several items:
Speaker:candles, runestones, a large jar of charcoal-coloured powder
Speaker:and, among other things,
Speaker:a wolf skin. He placed the latter carefully on the table before suddenly starting to undress.
Speaker:“What the hell?!” I quickly covered my eyes, blushing like a peony
Speaker:as Ikita's intimacy was revealed to me.
Speaker:He paused and looked exasperated.
Speaker:“It's okay! It's not the first time!
Speaker:And hurry up and do the same.
Speaker:You don't commune with nature spirits in industrial clothes.
Speaker:Au naturel, I tell you!”
Speaker:He looked quite serious.
Speaker:Without waiting for an answer from me,
Speaker:he finished removing every bit of fabric from his body.
Speaker:I was amazed at how much he had changed in a few years.
Speaker:He was slim but with the robust musculature of a trapper.
Speaker:His thighs and buttocks were nicely developed,
Speaker:forged no doubt by walking and running in the forests and mountains of the region.
Speaker:His hairless torso was
Speaker:magnificent, neither too shaped
Speaker:nor too little. And, of course, I'm not talking about his manhood,
Speaker:which he obviously took care of.
Speaker:I couldn't look away
Speaker:and he soon noticed my passivity.
Speaker:“Well then?” He asked. “We haven't got all day.”
Speaker:Blushing even more, I complied.
Speaker:With difficulty at first,
Speaker:I took off my cotton hoodie followed by my T-shirt.
Speaker:He was watching me
Speaker:the whole time, which didn't help me in any way;
Speaker:but I continued until I had only my underwear on.
Speaker:My hesitation and,
Speaker:indeed, my erection were visible.
Speaker:Ikita laughed and shook his head in amusement.
Speaker:“Cool, Matt. It's not the first time I've seen you like this, you know?”
Speaker:“If you'd at least tell me why we have to be naked…”
Speaker:I replied awkwardly.
Speaker:“You'll understand during the ritual. Trust me...
Speaker:please?” The look on his face was almost a plea.
Speaker:He was too cute for me to resist any longer.
Speaker:I withdrew what was left of my dignity
Speaker:and threw my clothes on the
Speaker:bed. “Now what?” I asked, resigned.
Speaker:“Now help me carry all this stuff to the yard behind the house.
Speaker:And before you ask:
Speaker:no one will see us.”
Speaker:At least I was reassured of the minimum of discretion in the situation.
Speaker:We went out with the various items Ikita
Speaker:needed for the ritual and headed for the field behind the hut.
Speaker:I could clearly see that it was regularly used for gatherings.
Speaker:The earth was trodden with many footprints around a large area with stones placed in a way that drew tribal glyphs.
Speaker:The remains of an extinguished brazier sat in the centre of these symbols,
Speaker:and I could smell various herbs and some that I knew which were more entertaining.
Speaker:“Follow my instructions carefully, Matthew.”
Speaker:Ikita patiently and precisely told me what to place and where.
Speaker:The candles were placed evenly around the glyphs at points where the lines crossed.
Speaker:Each one was then covered with this black powder that must have been rowan,
Speaker:if my botany classes had taught me correctly.
Speaker:As I finished, he lit the fire and sat down nearby to put various runes in front of him.
Speaker:As he donned the skin,
Speaker:I realised his position and expertise.
Speaker:“Come and sit right before me.”
Speaker:“What should I do now?”
Speaker:I said as I did so.
Speaker:“Nothing, I'm gonna start singing.
Speaker:The only thing you must do
Speaker:is to focus on the visions that come to you
Speaker:and let yourself go.
Speaker:He looked at me with affection and amusement as I folded my arms over my naked and chilly body.
Speaker:I nodded my head in agreement.
Speaker:Without waiting, he closed his eyes and began.
Speaker:I had originally expected our rituals to follow the stereotypes of books and TV shows,
Speaker:with drums and dances and all that.
Speaker:Here, Ikita was not accompanied by any instruments.
Speaker:There was only the beautiful sound of his voice.
Speaker:At first, nothing happened except for a few graceful movements of his body.
Speaker:Without stopping his tribal chant, he placed his hand on my arm,
Speaker:grasping it gently,
Speaker:before slowly sliding down and resting his palm against mine.
Speaker:I responded to his gestures by instinct
Speaker:without him having to explain anything.
Speaker:Then I closed my eyes and everything around me faded away.
Speaker:I was still in the forest,
Speaker:but far from civilization.
Speaker:The Moon was shining in a starless sky.
Speaker:The wind was making the foliage sing,
Speaker:accompanying the sounds of insects and small animals.
Speaker:Right in front of me,
Speaker:a perfectly white wolf was sitting
Speaker:and staring at me with eyes full of mystery.
Speaker:His gaze was familiar
Speaker:and gave me a sense of security.
Speaker:He stood up and approached me slowly.
Speaker:I reached out my hand and he put his nose to it and licked me gently.
Speaker:“Who are you?” I asked
Speaker:but received no answer.
Speaker:Suddenly the forest disappeared and only the moon was left to fill the sky.
Speaker:The ground became a hot bloody pool stretching to the horizon.
Speaker:A kind of rain began
Speaker:but in the strangest way.
Speaker:The drops started from the red liquid
Speaker:and slowly rose to the sky.
Speaker:This blood is yours.
Speaker:I heard this voice from deep within me.
Speaker:The Moon is your goddess.
Speaker:Her reflection invaded me
Speaker:and subjugated me.
Speaker:My image is the mirror of your soul.
Speaker:It was the wolf speaking to me.
Speaker:No, it was me. Take on your heritage,
Speaker:Matthew of the Wolf Clan.
Speaker:All at once, a violent pain brought me back to the real world.
Speaker:Ikita was still chanting,
Speaker:but with more strength.
Speaker:The words, which I could
Speaker:barely understand, echoed in my mind like the sound of a huge belfry
Speaker:as my body ached.
Speaker:I had never known anything like this. I stood up
Speaker:but immediately stumbled.
Speaker:I could feel myself contorting as I changed.
Speaker:My limbs were getting thinner and longer.
Speaker:My insides were rearranging themselves with sucking noises that might have made me nauseous
Speaker:if I wasn't in so much pain.
Speaker:I wanted to scream,
Speaker:but nothing but a gurgle came from my mouth.
Speaker:My blood boiled from within.
Speaker:The colours faded and the fire lost its redness.
Speaker:My mind resigned itself to what I was experiencing,
Speaker:and I stopped struggling.
Speaker:The pain became distant
Speaker:as if I were looking at someone else's.
Speaker:My mouth and nose grew, as did my teeth,
Speaker:into a powerful jaw with fangs.
Speaker:The biting cold disappeared as white fur grew over my skin.
Speaker:A strange sensation came over me
Speaker:as I felt a tail emerge from my spine and unfurl.
Speaker:I lay there for several minutes,
Speaker:motionless, until Ikita finished.
Speaker:He stood up and walked over to me and
Speaker:tenderly stroked the fur on my chest.
Speaker:“It's over. You're finally one of us now.”
Speaker:I wanted to answer
Speaker:but a plaintive canine whimper came from my throat.
Speaker:“Don't worry.” He reassured me with a sympathetic smile.
Speaker:“The first time is always a bit difficult,
Speaker:but you'll eventually stop feeling anything with a few tries.”
Speaker:I sat up slightly.
Speaker:My body was no longer that of a human
Speaker:but had become that of the wolf I had seen.
Speaker:The colours had changed,
Speaker:and distant shapes were now blurred.
Speaker:What struck me most, however,
Speaker:were my other senses.
Speaker:My hearing was much better,
Speaker:allowing me to hear the lapping of the stream running through the hamlet.
Speaker:But my sense of smell.
Speaker:smell... It was another world.
Speaker:The first smell I perceived was that of the rowan tree
Speaker:and the fire burning the fir logs.
Speaker:From the other ones,
Speaker:I knew that the day before, game meat had been cooked here.
Speaker:I could even tell the number, gender, and age of all the people who were there.
Speaker:Then I realised that the place was filled with the sweet smell of Ikita.
Speaker:It intoxicated me
Speaker:with its subtlety and complexity.
Speaker:It evoked feelings in me that I could hardly cope with before.
Speaker:I wanted to speak again
Speaker:and instead let out a few friendly,
Speaker:affectionate yelps.
Speaker:“Wait a minute, Matthew,”
Speaker:He sighed. He stepped back and laid his pelt gently on the ground.
Speaker:There followed a vision of horror
Speaker:in which Ikita metamorphosed in my way.
Speaker:I slowly saw every part of his body transform into that of an adult wolf.
Speaker:His fur was that of a plains wolf
Speaker:and his ears were dark while his belly and tail were as white as my own.
Speaker:He was still smaller than me,
Speaker:as in our original form.
Speaker:“We can talk now,” I heard in my mind.
Speaker:“Can you really hear me?”
Speaker:“Yes. We cannot speak verbally,
Speaker:but the wolf spirits offer us the blessing of being able to express ourselves
Speaker:through our souls alone.
Speaker:alone." He approached me with a natural, confident step.
Speaker:He rubbed first his head and then his torso against mine in a gesture
Speaker:I could understand the meaning of.
Speaker:After his bushy tail slid over my face,
Speaker:he moved towards the edge of the forest.
Speaker:“Follow me and discover this new world that is offered to you.”
Speaker:I made no reply and ran after him through the trees and bushes.
Speaker:We ran for many hours in the wilderness.
Speaker:We jumped with great agility,
Speaker:sniffed plants, and chased small animals.
Speaker:I tasted the blood of my first prey without feeling embarrassed
Speaker:or disgusted as it would for the human I was to be.
Speaker:I felt in my natural element.
Speaker:According to the stories that fascinated me as a child,
Speaker:the word for what I had become was obvious.
Speaker:“We are werewolves, aren't we?”
Speaker:I asked Ikita.
Speaker:“Not exactly.” He paused.
Speaker:“We simply carry the blood of the Wolf Spirit in our veins.”
Speaker:“It's not really any different...”
Speaker:“We are not fairy-tale monsters!”
Speaker:He explained, laughing.
Speaker:“We are the guardians of this land as
Speaker:was the Spirit that gave birth to us.”
Speaker:“I would have said this morning that it was just a trivial belief,
Speaker:but clearly I was wrong...”
Speaker:My ears lowered as I felt guilty about my prejudice.
Speaker:Ikita stepped forward
Speaker:and placed his face close to mine,
Speaker:our noses almost touching.
Speaker:I felt a rush of emotion inside me
Speaker:as he slowly licked the side of my muzzle.
Speaker:I sensed something even newer in his smell.
Speaker:Something that awakened a longing in me that I secretly felt
Speaker:when we were still children.
Speaker:“Come with me, Matthew...”
Speaker:He whispered in a deep voice.
Speaker:We went on for a few dozen metres
Speaker:and reached the top of a cliff.
Speaker:The view over the valley was as beautiful as a great artist's painting.
Speaker:The evening was coming and the Moon, so divine,
Speaker:was over the horizon.
Speaker:The snow-covered mountains were shining with the last rays of sunlight filtering through the mist.
Speaker:Ikita was sitting next to me watching this idyllic landscape.
Speaker:Even as a wolf, he was still beautiful.
Speaker:The graceful line of his body.
Speaker:The harmony of the colours of his fur.
Speaker:The shape of his eyes remained unchanged.
Speaker:Everything about him reminded me of the human I had
Speaker:always loved. Even in different bodies,
Speaker:we were still ourselves.
Speaker:“You are more resplendent than this great painting, my friend.”
Speaker:I had expressed my thoughts without fear.
Speaker:He turned his head towards me
Speaker:and smiled in a lupine,
Speaker:but still his own way.
Speaker:“The frankness of the wolf is a nice thing, isn't it?”
Speaker:“I love you Ikita…
Speaker:I have wanted to tell you this for so long.
Speaker:If you had come back the following summer,
Speaker:I could have told you sooner.”
Speaker:A form of sadness began to creep over me,
Speaker:but it only lasted a moment,
Speaker:as he moved closer to me to lick me once more.
Speaker:“I always knew.”
Speaker:He did it again in an even more intimate way.
Speaker:“Let's catch up, shall we?”
Speaker:I returned his attention with the same affection
Speaker:and took the opportunity to smell his fur deeply.
Speaker:I could sense his love and excitement.
Speaker:The subtlety of that scent was there before when I got off the train.
Speaker:It was even there when we were children.
Speaker:Even though I was still human at the time,
Speaker:I remembered what my blood, not my senses,
Speaker:had perceived. We lay down, side by side, and continued to groom each other for a long time.
Speaker:Naturally, my muzzle moved towards his belly,
Speaker:and I eventually noticed that his manhood was already preparing itself
Speaker:for what our hearts were seeking.
Speaker:My licks were getting closer to that swollen bit of fur
Speaker:in which his eager penis was growing with the proximity
Speaker:of my nose. Once at its level,
Speaker:I gave a slow and firm lick to the slightly protruding tip.
Speaker:I tasted the strange liquid that beaded from it.
Speaker:A pulse from his member shot more into my mouth
Speaker:without me feeling any aversion.
Speaker:On the contrary, I was even more excited.
Speaker:I realised that my own intimacy was in the same state as his when his own tongue reached it.
Speaker:A thrill of pleasure came over me
Speaker:as new sensations were revealed.
Speaker:I was experienced as a human,
Speaker:but as a wolf, I was rediscovering
Speaker:everything. I continued my action,
Speaker:covering the whole of the sheath to his dark balls.
Speaker:I could feel the shapes of his budding knot.
Speaker:His body was reacting and contracting slightly with each touch.
Speaker:I was not left out either
Speaker:and felt my canine fluid gush out in small
Speaker:successive spurts
Speaker:as I felt the warmth of his muzzle around my sex,
Speaker:my skin curled up by his lips.
Speaker:I couldn't help but let out a moan of pleasure,
Speaker:a feeling amplified by years of dreaming of this moment.
Speaker:My knot swelled in his mouth,
Speaker:and he pushed in as hard as he could.
Speaker:My hips wanted to move as I ejaculated continuously.
Speaker:I pulsed, again and again,
Speaker:giving me intense pleasure with each contraction of my sex.
Speaker:My fur was stained with my own cum dripping from his maw.
Speaker:I stopped my work to lie down and let myself be invaded by this orgasm that would not stop.
Speaker:“It's not the same as when we were young teenagers, is it?”
Speaker:He said mischievously,
Speaker:pulling his head away from my crotch.
Speaker:“Clearly not, no…”
Speaker:The pleasure had knocked me out and I could no longer find the will to move.
Speaker:I stayed with my legs up and spread wide
Speaker:while my member continuously deposited my semen on my belly with each jerk.
Speaker:“I wish I could have done more with you.”
Speaker:I sighed in disappointment.
Speaker:“Don't worry. A wolf doesn't work as a human.
Speaker:This pleasure you're feeling isn't going to stop just yet
Speaker:and I can still enjoy myself.”
Speaker:He smiled. “Get your tail out of the way, Matthew,
Speaker:and enjoy yourself too.”
Speaker:I understood immediately what he meant
Speaker:and discovered the passage behind my scrotum.
Speaker:I was still overwhelmed from my ongoing orgasm
Speaker:and didn't need to relax any further.
Speaker:Ikita stood over me,
Speaker:framing me with his paws.
Speaker:He looked into my eyes,
Speaker:and I could see no wolf,
Speaker:just my friend and childhood sweetheart.
Speaker:He lowered himself,
Speaker:placing his pelvis and sex behind mine.
Speaker:I felt him probe the tip of his penis to find the entrance.
Speaker:The juices of his arousal were spraying my anus.
Speaker:“Go ahead, Ikita!”
Speaker:No need to say more
Speaker:as he immediately penetrated me.
Speaker:This new feeling was divine even if quite painful.
Speaker:But I didn't care,
Speaker:we were finally one.
Speaker:He sank down fully
Speaker:and rested his chest on mine.
Speaker:Our muzzles rubbed passionately,
Speaker:licking, sniffing, nibbling.
Speaker:My nose was filled with the scent of our love
Speaker:and lust. He began to move his pelvis in and out.
Speaker:At the same time,
Speaker:the fur of his belly was sliding furiously over my sex.
Speaker:My orgasm multiplied in intensity.
Speaker:We were both moaning and panting as if we were running a marathon.
Speaker:His testes were brushing the underside of my tail
Speaker:and I could feel my genitals being compressed under his weight.
Speaker:I felt resistance
Speaker:and pressure inside me as I knew his knot was growing and tying us together.
Speaker:I could imagine the pleasure he was feeling at that moment
Speaker:was the same as mine.
Speaker:This pleasure lasted for a few minutes until he came to a stop
Speaker:and spread himself all over me.
Speaker:His cum was pouring into me
Speaker:as I was smearing our furs at the same moment.
Speaker:I could feel the throbbing
Speaker:of our sexes. “I love you so much, Matthew...”
Speaker:I was in a trance
Speaker:and couldn't respond or react.
Speaker:I just wrapped my paws around him
Speaker:and lay there in the grass with him.
Speaker:The Moon was rising higher
Speaker:and higher in the sky.
Speaker:Still tied to Ikita,
Speaker:I finally fell asleep peacefully,
Speaker:sure of a quietude
Speaker:that I thought would never disappear. **********
Speaker:That evening was the most magical I have ever experienced.
Speaker:I wanted to write it down in its entirety.
Speaker:Ikita was the love of my life
Speaker:even if our paths ended up
Speaker:being brutally separated.
Speaker:My initiation to the way of the Wolf
Speaker:and the blood that flowed in my family was only
Speaker:the prelude to a much greater
Speaker:and dangerous journey.
Speaker:My coming, our sharing,
Speaker:the choice he didn't give me,
Speaker:everything was tied to the secret I was to learn soon after I awoke.
Speaker:I probably always blamed him.
Speaker:But that's a story I may tell you on another day.
Speaker:For now, I am too tired to write more.
Speaker:May your howls reach the heavens of our goddess. It was a dark and stormy night, and this is 16pts Arial with no indents so it’s easy for the narrator to read…
Speaker:This was “My Initiation to the Wolf Way”
Speaker:by Tannihn, read for you by Khaki, your faithful fireside companion. You can find more stories on
Speaker:the web at thevoice.dog, or find the show wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker:Thank you for listening to The Voice of Dog.
