Anya's lungs burned as she ran through the forest. She tried to ignore the twigs and thorns that bit at her skin through her ripped and tattered clothing as she stumbled and pushed her way through the brush. She pushed herself as hard as she could, hoping she could get away, even though she knew that hope was in vein. The snapping of branches behind her told Anya that he wasn't far behind. She didn't know what she was thinking, running like that. She knew she wouldn't be able to outrun him.
The sudden silence caught Anya's attention. Skidding to a halt, she held her breath, scanning the forest around her, listening for any sound. Her heart pounded in her ears, and she became lightheaded from the effort of holding her breath. Not seeing anything, Anya began to inch forward, toward a large tree with a large knot in it, intending to hide in the bushes near its base. She pressed her back to the trunk and continued scanning the forest as she inched around the tree to the other side.
She had barely gotten one third of the way around when she felt hot breath on the side of her face. Eyes wide and with bated breath, she turned her head, terror etched into her features. The sight that greeted her made her stomach drop.
The creature standing a scant few inches from her was clearly not human. It stood on its hind legs, but was bent slightly forward at the waist. Its body was covered in thick grey hair. Its arms were thick with muscle and ended in razor sharp claw tipped paws. Its head was wedge shaped and distinctly wolf-like. Its mouth was filled with a row of large, razor sharp teeth. Its eyes were the most beautiful shade of ice blue, and seemed to hold a terrifying mixture of arousal and amusement but were still somehow pure predator.
Instinct kicked in and she ran. She heard the creature growl as she ran. She barely made it 10 feet before she found herself on the ground, the breath slammed out of her. The creature covered her body, effectively pinning her to the ground.
Again she cursed her own stupidity. No human could ever outrun a lycan.
Anya tried to fight, to kick, to squirm, anything to get away. But the creature just put more and more of its weight on her until she had to struggle to breathe. Finally she stilled.
The lycan leaned in and began sniffing her, its muzzle moving against her neck and cheek and nuzzling through her sweat-damp hair, soft growls rumbling in her ear. What was it smelling? Her adrenaline? Her fear? Her exhaustion? She didn't know, but it seemed to like it because it began grinding its hips against her ass.
Her fear climbed as she realized that the lycan was becoming very aroused. Instinctively she began to struggle again, crying and screaming. Immediately the lycan slammed its body down onto hers again, knocking her breath from her and pinning her to the ground. The more she struggled, the louder its growls grew and the more aggressive the lycan became. Suddenly, she felt its teeth on her shoulder, pressing in hard enough to hurt, but not hard enough to break skin. Immediately she stilled and went silent. The growls stopped when she did as the wolf wanted, submitting beneath it.
