A Wolf's Howl, A Fairy's Wing-Chapter 600 - Well... I promised them something

Emily’s eyes widened. "Emma?!" she cried out while pointing at Erik as if accusing him of even bringing it up. "Absolutely not! And don’t you dare let any of the others do that to her!"

Amused, Erik raised his eyebrows at her outburst. She’d not talked to him since like that since the day she donned the collar around her neck.

But before he could say anything, Astrid chuckled and wrapped her arms around Emily from behind. "Aww, but I thought you enjoyed yourself… don’t you want that for your little sister…?"

The deadly look Astrid then received from Emily was one of the most terrifying she ever had before. A little startled she immediately pouted, pulled back her arms to raise them in the air and backed away a little. "Alright! never mind!"

She quickly decided this was definitely not worth clashing with Emily over.

With Astrid having retreated, Emily then panned her deadly gaze over to Erik, who immediately raised his hands in surrender. "Woah, woah, I have no dog in this fight! Emma can do as she likes. I didn’t pressure you either last night, right? I certainly wouldn’t do that to Emma, either."

Reluctantly, Emily grumbled and nodded.

"Not that it would matter," Erik continued with a small smile. "She may seem meek to anyone else, but we all know that no one could bully Emma into anything she didn’t want, right? And I’m pretty sure she wouldn’t want to be dominated by one of her sister-wives."

Emily immediately relaxed and started smiling gently. "That’s true…" she muttered absentmindedly. Behind her, Astrid nodded resolutely, arms crossed in front of her chest.

"See? So no need to worry," Erik grinned. Inwardly, he wanted to use this moment to suggest a threesome with the Ashcroft sisters, but… thought better of it. There’d been some intimate moments where both sisters were present, but they were still missing something similar to what he’d just done with Astrid and Emily.

Still, he didn’t want to summon Emily’s ire again, and instead decided to make his escape. "Anyway," he smiled. "I have some things to take care of. Although, I guess that only leaves Naeku and the servants, little shadow. Let me know when you decide, alright?"

Without waiting for a response, he turned around and left the room, leaving Emily to ponder the future. Getting one of the servants to do this was easy, of course, but Emily didn’t want easy… which meant she had to convince Naeku somehow…

After leaving his dimension, Erik quickly made his way towards Naeku’s room in the palace, encountering no distractions along the way. After knocking on the door, he was quickly let in by an uncharacteristically nervous Naeku. "H— Hey!" she greeted, just a little too enthusiastically.

"Oooh, a nervous Naeku, how fun," Erik immediately teased with a charming grin.

"S— Shut up!" she muttered, looking down and away with an obvious blush beneath her fur. "I just… you don’t get married everyday, alright?"

"Oh, it’s happening today?" Erik reacted with exaggerated enthusiasm. "Well, I haven’t prepared much, bu—"

"Ugh!" Naeku groaned and rolled her eyes. "Don’t be an idiot!" she grumbled and punched his arm before finally standing aside. "Just get inside!"

Grinning, Erik stepped inside and was actually surprised to find an empty room. He raised an eyebrow and turned to look at her. "You’re alone? I kind of figured at least some members of your family would be here."

"Hmpf," Naeku snorted, before closing the door and immediately jumping into Erik’s arms. She rubbed her furry cheeks against him and smiled. "They certainly tried, but I told them today would be just for you and me… Between the two of us we have more than enough authority to make plans involving the city, anyway"

She looked up at him wryly, "They’ll get involved eventually of course… I could only delay it by a day."

Erik, being only a little taller than her, had to pull his head back to look. He smiled gently at her. "Well, I do appreciate what little time you’ve bought us." Then, he raised an eyebrow and chuckled. "Although, truthfully, I’m more than happy to leave most of the planning to you."

Sighing with dramatic exaggeration, Naeku let him go and turned around with a hand on her forehead. "Sigh… typical man…"

Grinning, Erik hugged her from behind and pressed his hands against her belly. He whispered in one of her large cat ears, "Don’t worry, I’ll show you just how far from typical I am on our wedding night…"

Naeku’s blush returned and a shiver travelled across her spine. "Idiot…" she breathed heavily, lust clear in her voice.

They stayed like this for a moment as they melted into each other’s touch. Erik once again lamented the fact he could only touch her beast form for now, but in a way, it just increased his anticipation for the moment he could touch her human side.

Eventually, however, Naeku broke the hug and quickly distanced herself. "A— Anyway! We need to get started!" she exclaimed, a little more forcefully than she likely intended, and quickly took a seat on a comfortable sofa.

Smiling, Erik took a seat across from her. "As you wish!" But then he suddenly became a little more serious. "Before we do that, however, I have one thing to ask you…"

Naeku narrowed her eyes, immediately going on the defensive after trauma from last time. "Not any more trials or tests, right? Because I’ve had my fill of those!"

Erik chuckled a little awkwardly, scratching his cheek as he shook his head. "No, no. Nothing like that… How are you feeling, by the way? Any lingering effects from remembering that shit?"

"Hmpf," Naeku grumbled for a moment, but then quickly relaxed again, sighing a little in relief, before growing serious again. "Not really, I guess… Although I do think it changed me, at least a little. I’m just not sure how exactly yet."

"Good," Erik smiled.

"Yeah… So, what did you want to ask me then?" Naeku inquired with a raised eyebrow.

"Well…" Erik frowned seriously. "When I married Astrid, Emma, and Emily through the trial, I promised them they’d get a proper ceremony as soon as we found my mother…"

Naeku blinked, as she obviously got an idea of what he was asking for, but Erik continued. "I could arrange separate ceremonies, of course, but I doubt they’d be as well attended as your marriage would be… so how would you feel about sharing your ceremony with them?"
