A Monster Life Ch. 97-99

Tipper gazed at her with a blank expression. 'I'll throw more of the books we have here at him.'

Muni wiped the snow from the name plate attached to an iron bar gate with sharp tips. 'This is the place.' he said as he looked over the mansion on the other side of the fence. Elyta tried the gate handle, and opened it. 'They left it unlocked.'

Coëllo stepped inside the property and looked around at the empty, snow-covered front garden with a few, small dead trees. 'No real point in locking it if you're not going to return here.'

Elyta strolled towards the double front door. 'The rich people I know are so uptight, they lock up everything even if they're never going to use it again. They can't stand giving up or selling something they own.'

Tarrence checked the pristine layer of snow at the front of the mansion. 'Elyta, check the grounds at the back for any bug tracks.'

Coëllo gestured to the right of the garden. 'I'll go around that way. Two pairs of eyes see more than one.'

Elyta gave her a nod, and the two went around the mansion in opposite directions. When they returned later, they both reported no tracks of any kind. 'That only means we can't confirm there are bugs inside.' said Tarrence. 'Keep your eyes open because it's still possible there's one or more inside through other means of entry.'

Muni laid his hand on his sword. 'Are you thinking underground?'

Tarrence gave him a look of confirmation. 'Unless we're sure they don't dig, it's possible they burrow through the ground. There are three floors, we'll split up like before to search the place.'

While the others searched the upper floors, Muni finished his search rather quickly through the one room with a writing desk, seemingly used only for trivial daily administrative tasks. He went over the frozen food in the kitchen pantry, but didn't think thawing out such ancient ingredients would be healthy or tasty. The door to the cellar made him curious about what might be there, and he cautiously opened the door and peeked inside by the light of his torch.

Coëllo checked for possible hiding places in the master bedroom but came up with nothing. She looked it over one more time in case she overlooked something, and her eye fell on a small book on the dresser. She opened it and the pages were marked with dates and task reminders. She carefully flipped to the last page and found an interesting remark written on it. A little excitement filled her chest. 'Found it.' She looked up when Muni called out from downstairs.

'Guys, you'll want to see this!' he said, and returned to the kitchen. When the others arrived, he looked at Tarrence and pointed at the cellar. 'Your hunch may be correct.'

Tarrence followed him down the creaky stairs with the others behind him, and gazed at a knee high tunnel in one of the walls.

Valdys opened her eyes after she added the books from the last corner of the upper floor to her spirit library, stepped towards Ulric, and slumped into his embrace. She rubbed her face in his even more thicker mane. 'I need recharging after taking in all these books, my warm love.'

He rubbed her back gently and nuzzled the side of her neck. 'We do have this floor all to ourselves at the moment, my cute frozen sorceress.'

She giggled. 'Girls, a warning, our hot wolf will warm me up and recharge me now.' she said via the familiar link, and sensed the amusement from the others as they put up the link block. She kissed Ulric. 'Light up my own spirit, my furry lover.'

He caressed her cold cheek and gazed deep into her eyes, which already became more alive in anticipation of his magic touch. 'I will have you shine brighter than the sun, my love.' he growled softly, and kissed her in her neck as he pulled her tighter.

Valdys already forgot about the freezing cold at his firm embrace and hot kiss, and leaned more into him as she hummed in pleasure and his growling tickled her ear and arousal. 'Give me life, my hot wolf.' she breathed.

She giggled as he pulled up her skirt quickly with a playful and eager growls, and licked her lips as the tingling in her pussy intensified at the sight of his growing erection. 'Don't let it cool off in this cold. Heat my insides quickly.'

Ulric chuckled. 'It could never be anything but hot when it comes to you, my pale beauty.' he said, lifted her up on the reading table next to them, spread her legs, and slid the tip of his dick between her folds.

The slow circling against her pussy increased her desire for him, and triggered the flow of their juices. He slid his tip inside her, moving back and forth more as her pussy became wetter, but her urge to feel him into her depths took over. She wrapped her legs around his back and pushed him all the way into her with a squeeze. She let out a moan of pleasure and pain at the quick ache inside her and the relief of his hot flesh filling her completely, and gave him a heated gaze. 'Come into me, my love. I want to come on your seed filling me up.'

He growled harder as he bent over her and gripped her neck in his jaws, and ground his dick against her depths and his hilt against her mound. She clamped her legs and arms around him, wanting everything he gave to her, and relished in the life returning to her. She squeezed her pussy tight around him, the pulses of heat rushing through her with every greedy thrust inside her, and her mind soared higher while her body's desires took over.

It might have been the cold, but Ulric didn't mind if that was the cause for his increased desire for his girl. Her moans in his ear pushed him hard and his thrusts and grinding amplified in strength at her enticing sounds of lust for him. She squeezed once more hard around him when her peak neared, and his dick and balls could no longer hold out. He poured his hot stream into her depths with a fiery snarl.

The flash of heat inside her pushed her body to its limits of pleasure, and she pushed her face into his mane as she groaned in ecstatic relief.

Ulric slid slowly back and forth inside her while their body parts throbbed against each other, and Valdys moaned as he didn't stop stimulating her sensitive pussy while she regained her senses. She desired him somewhere else inside her now. 'Fill me up again with your wonderful dick.' she panted. 'You know where.'

He growled long and low in her ear as he slowly withdrew from her soaked and hot pussy, and rubbed his slick tip against her tight anus. She pressed back against him as she relaxed it, and tightened her jaw when he opened her up and his hot tip entered her little tight hole. The tension filling her abdomen grew along with her kinky urge for him as he slid once more little by little inside her.

She imagined her lower body tearing apart at the pressure inside her bringing her intense pleasure, and it faded into more physical hunger as he growled in his hunger for her, and pressed his hips hard against her rear. 'Oh Wolfie.' she moaned from the depth of her throat. 'I love it when you're so deep in me.'

Ulric slid one paw under her fur tunic and clamped it around her breast. 'I can never be too often inside you, sweet girl.' he growled, and rubbed her rock hard nipple.

She pressed her chest against his paw as she clamped her arms and legs tighter again around him, and pressed her ass up to him in rhythm with his slow and deep thrust, panting her moans while her mind slowly collapsed in on itself, bringing the reprieve it needed from constant use.

Electricity surged through Ulric's lower body from the tightness of her hot ass squeezing around his dick, and his balls once more tensed to shoot their contents into the more than willing girl.

His intense low growls rippled through her body and the thrill of knowing he'd come into her again filled Valdys's chest. 'Yesss, come.' she barely uttered in her anticipated excitement, and his snarl and stream shooting deep into her imploded her mind in bliss. She existed only as pure lust and joy for a while, until she faded gently back into reality and the warmth of his body inside and around her.

He growled more as he kissed her neck, and she pulled his head in front and kissed him deep for as long as he could breathe. When they finally pulled back, she smiled in devotion at him as she gently tightened her ass around his dick. 'I feel so alive again.'

He ran his fingers through her silvery hair. 'You are alive as any to me, my sweetheart, and you are part of the reason why I feel alive.'

She stretched her arms above her head with a satisfying groan, and wrapped them again around his neck. 'I would prefer to keep on doing this, but work awaits and I feel like drinking while I search through the books for a clue on where to look for the artefact.'

He chuckled and kissed her. 'If it wasn't for this quest, I'd never have met any of you girls, so I'm still glad I have to do it, but I wouldn't mind if we could skip to the end where I could indulge in constant debauchery with all of you until the end of days.'

She giggled. 'I'll do what I can to speed things up for that reason, my hungry wolf.'

When they returned to the room after quickly cleaning up with snow that Valdys melted, the other girls thought it was a nice idea to have a little drinking party before they'd have to head out into the cold if Valdys found something. Elzbieta blushed a little as she pulled on Ulric's arm. 'I found storage rooms in the basement, one of which contained wine and beer that they probably used for meetings and important patrons. I could use your help sorting through them for anything that's still good, darling.'

He pat her hand. 'With pleasure, my dear.'

Iphigenia giggled softly as she leaned closer to Elzbieta. 'Enjoy yourselves while you're there.'

Elzbieta blushed more, but she couldn't refute the other reason while the itch in her body was clear.

The basement was designed as a square shaped corridor with storage rooms on the in- and outside. Many of them were locked and held various art pieces, and others were used to store old furniture and teaching materials. The one Elzbieta had found during the exploration with Kaui, contained several cracked barrels of frozen beer and wine, and many jugs on shelves in various conditions. Ulric looked over them. 'I don't think any of the beer or wine is still good, but it's likely the spirits are drinkable.' he said, then turned to Elzbieta, who bit her lip as she held the front of her dress. 'But I'll take care of your need first, my lovely elf.'

She blushed hard while the itch inside her had grown even more. 'You knew?' she whispered.

He tapped the side of his muzzle. 'Your scent betrayed you, and has me wanting for you.'

She chuckled once in embarrassment, but it relaxed her a little and her heart pounded when he stepped up to her and pulled her tight against him. He kissed her before she could say a word, and gave in at once and returned her desire for him. She pulled back after a while. 'I want the same, my darling.' she breathed. 'And release my block riding on your dick.'

Ulric turned her around and bent her over. 'Then I will give you what you want, my lusty cutie.' he said and lifted her dress, exposing her fair skinned tush and her already moist pussy.

She grabbed the shelf in front of her, and let out a satisfying moan as he slid his dick all the way into her. She lifted her link block, and the buffered sensations from Valdys washed over her as she trembled at the two consecutive climaxes rushing through her. Her knees weakened but Ulric held her up by her hips, and ground his dick deep into her pussy. She regained some strength in her legs while his pressure against her mound and her insides rose, and moaned as she gripped the shelf tighter while her desire increased again. The sight of her firm tush in the candlelight spurred Ulric on, and he growled deeper in lust for his beautiful elf. She tightened her pussy in a reflex at the sound and welcomed the rush of shivers through her body. 'I'm all yours, my demon wolf.' she pleaded and pressed her rear against him. 'Come into me and mark me again, please.'

He pulled her hard against him by her hips in the urge to push his dick as deep into her willing pussy as he could, and groaned as the itch to fill her closed in on his limits. Elzbieta sensed his tension inside her, reached back for him, and pulled on the fur at his hip. 'Yes, defile this bad elf with your wonderful demon seed, my darling wolf.'

She let out a sharp moan as he snarled and flooded her depths with his burning stream, and lost her mind to the void when her body exploded in its joy at his gift to her.

She hung in his hold on her hips and barely on to the shelf when her vision returned, and her pussy throbbed tight around his equally hard throbbing dick. 'I love being possessed by you, my mighty love.'

He pulled up her back against his chest and slid one paw under her warm tunic and around her breasts. 'I'm proud to have you as my property, fair elf.' he growled softly in her ear, mitigating the strength she had gained in her legs, but he slid his other paw down her front and gripped her mound to keep her up. She gasped when he pulled out of her pussy and pressed his wet tip against her tight asshole. She forced herself to relax, and slid herself down his hot and hard dick while her whole being trembled at the intense heat filling her lower body.

His short thrusts inside her with his massaging grip on her mound and clit returned some of her strength to fully experience the pleasure, and she moaned louder while pulling his head closer over her shoulder and sliding her tongue along his. 'I need you so much.'

Ulric pressed his hips hard against her round flesh parts, loving the sensation, and rubbed his paw harder against her mound and clit when she put her whole weight on it. 'I will never let you need something else, my sweet prey.' he growled, and thrust his dick harder into her tightening ass.

Their need to come intensified in a few thrusts, and Elzbieta moaned loud as she pressed her quivering tush even harder against her beast mate. 'Come in me and make me yours again, darling.'

'With extreme pleasure.' Ulric growled, released his restraint on his balls with a sharp growl, and flooded her intestines with his hot essence and source for her mana. Elzbieta gasped at the burst inside her, and feared for her life as she couldn't breath and lost conscience when her climax hit her.

She gasped when her senses returned, and found herself slumped in his tight embrace holding her up. She leaned her head back again and kissed Ulric until she had enough strength in her legs, and could bear sliding herself from his warm dick. She pulled a jar of Kaui's special cleaning lotion from her dress pocket, which she had prepared beforehand, and cleaned him without looking while they kissed passionately.

When she was done, he ran his fingers through her hair and gazed for a while in her eyes, shining brilliantly with the reflection of the candlelight. 'I'm so glad the beautiful elf I met at Winter City has come to love me.'

She giggled and kissed him. 'I'm only beautiful because you healed me, my fantastic darling.'

He gave her a warm smile. 'Nonsense. I told you you were beautiful as you were.'

She kissed him hard once more, and only reluctantly pulled back when she ran out of breath. 'I guess we have to take up those drinks to the others now.'

He chuckled and kissed the tip of her nose. 'Yeah, we should.'

They checked the shelves for spirits that had suffered no damage from the ages in the cold, and headed back out of the basement, unaware of a pair of beady eyes observing them from a hole in the wall.

99 - Into Darkness

'It's the last entry.' said Coëllo while they stood in the kitchen, and read from the small notebook she had found. 'Meeting with mine supervisor at his work desk regarding his findings on the stone. Check records on demon history to compare the rune carved in it.'

She handed it to Tarrence, and he reread the last pages with entries quickly. 'He took the artefact we're probably looking for to the mine to have it examined, and it might still be there if this last entry has been written on the day of the catastrophe.'

'Good chance it's buried under tons of rock then.' said Elyta.

Tarrence dropped the notebook nonchalantly on the kitchen table. 'We'll find out when we're there.' he said and stepped out of the kitchen. 'To our nasr.'

***

Valdys opened a large book with maps of the country and took a quick look at everyone sitting in the circle. 'I found no direct mention of the artefact, but there were small clues that might be linked together to the location of it. There's a record of an unknown old stone with a rune carved into it, sold to a merchant named Donbar, and records of books about ancient demonic languages borrowed by said merchant around the same time as Mineret, the man in charge of the mining operation at the mountain, borrowing books on demonic architecture. According to personal information and news I found, they are long time friends and share an interest in historical architecture. There's a mention about Miniret's study and collection of historical pieces he kept at his house in the mining town at the mountain.' She placed her finger on the chart at the depiction of one mountain range. 'Mountain Mur, the one which collapsed.'

'So, that's where we need to go?' asked Iphigenia.

Valdys nodded once. 'Not exactly. The tools he uses to determine the composition of rocks are at a workshop set up in the mine itself. It is a guess, but it's most likely we'll find the artefact there.'

Ulric skimmed over the pieces of text she shared over the familiar link and looked over the map. 'The clues are pretty vague, but if this is the best result you can pull from the books, I think it's our best chance to find it.

'We'd still have to do a long search if it turns out to be nothing, so I agree.' said Elzbieta, and the others agreed as well.

Ulric pulled out one of the bottles from the basement. 'I suggest we take some time to enjoy the warmth we have here. We'll have to deal with plenty of cold next anyway.' He gave the bottle to Kaui. 'Pour me a large one, cutie, I'll fetch some more from the cellar in the meantime. There were more good ones left than we expected, and it would be a waste to leave them here and never provide some joy on late evenings.'

She giggled. 'With pleasure, Master.'

Ulric found his way back to the storage room, and put the suitable bottles and jugs in the pack he had taken with him while humming a song, not knowing two centipedes observed him from the doorway.

A clatter from another storeroom silenced him and he pricked up his ears. He listened for a while until he picked up brief shuffling somewhere down the corridor. Silently, he sneaked out of the storeroom and peeked into the dark passage. With no further noises for clues, he moved cautiously along the entire square corridor, checking every storage space he passed. Wind howled in the distance outside, snow and ice crackled there, but no further sound came from inside the basement. He dismissed what he heard as the effect of time and cold on everything here and picked up his pack. He had just about packed everything he wanted anyway, and the urge to warm himself from the inside called out to him, as well as the desire to snuggle tight with the girls.

***

Tarrence's party stood on top of a low hill at a little distance from the miner's town located close to the collapsed mountain, and observed the wooden buildings standing like an impromptu gathering around two larger ones, one of them clearly the one where time outside of work was spent on food and drinks, looking at the stack of barrels and crates at one side. Tarrence shielded his eyes from the wind and snow while he looked it over from one side to the other. 'No centipedes in sight, but I'm certain they dwell around there. Stay silent while we check the common house. We leave the nasr here under a cover to keep them safe.'
