Mortok

by C. R Corbin

  "What are you blabbering on about?" asked Kerod as he takes a horizontal swing at me that I dodge by bouncing back.

  "Nothing, shall we continue?" I asked him with a grin that couldn't be seen.

  "Of course." he said as he charged forward.

  His red armor glimmered in the snow and white light of this world glimmers as it strikes the metal plating. His orange visor lights up as I dove in and swing my mace in a wide arc that he just manages to block with his sword. He rocks off to the side and shakes the blow off before he starts charging me once again, that is until I hear Julie tell me that she has arrived. I circle away from him so that the drone is right behind him and it fires off a single shot that rocked him forwards lightly, not nearly enough to hurt him but enough to distract him at the very least. I swing my face once more and strike him in the arm and break it. He falls to his side and grunted as his arm hung limply, my hands tense around the mace and I swing it in a vertical arc. I managed to strike away his sword after several more swings and crush his arm with the next strike, rendering him completely benign.

  I say nothing as I complete one final swing and catch him on his helmet. His helmet dents and there is a loud thud as he finally stops moving after the next couple of swings. His hands stopped tensing and I figured that he was finally out for the count and leaned back. I turned on the communicator and called Julie up one more time to see how the battle was faring.

  "Julie? Julie, what's happening now? Are we good?" I asked her.

  "Yes, we are. We're picking off stragglers now...Come back to base." she said in a worried tone.

  "Come now, Julie...You know me better than that...." I said in a teasing voice before shutting the communicator off and running off to battle. I knew that once I returned I would be in the arms of a woman that would be calling me stubborn and pounding my chest but I decided that she could cope with this small concession

  CHAPTER ELEVEN

  Julie

  "Three cheers for our forces and the brave royal couple who were instrumental in fighting off Kerod's forces!" cheered Deena in the center of the town. Our success was successful and since Kerod had been slain the majority of his forces were fleeing in the moons. We had all lived to fight another day without much damage in the way of casualties.

  I took a sip of the juice that they gave out which was apparently their version of alcohol. They told me it was derived from sap and that it had rather psychedelic properties which was quite accurate. I drank it and instantly there were rays of light darting across my vision and voices suddenly became rather distorted. I regained my bearings though and decided that the drink isn't really for me. They were cutting up meats and there were great bowls of stew that had been set up after being cooked by families in their homes. Everyone was gathered in the town square and the overall mood was jovial. I feel a hand rest on my shoulder while I am in the process of conversing with Yzadel and I turned to see him standing there in front of me.

  "You feeling alright?" he asked me, after all this was the first time I had actually participated and killed anyone in battle. I remember after it all ended and I was off the controls I had broken down and Otono had to calm me down by telling me that it wasn't my fault, that these men had needed to die in order for Mortok and my friends to be safe.

  I believed him, but I was still a bit bothered at the end of it all.

  "I'm as fine as I can be..." I said, I had put on a strong face and was enjoying myself as best as I could but apparently, he wasn't entirely convinced.

  "Come on." he said and dragged me by the hand towards Lorip's house, we snuck into the shadows so that no one would spot us. As soon as the door closed behind him I leapt into his arms and sighed.

  "I just...I don't know. I feel so strange inside like I don't know what I did was right or not...What I did was necessary." I said and he stroked my shoulder.

  "It was...without you the battle wouldn't have even been nearly as easy. Don't beat yourself over it alright?...I'm sorry that you had to go through with that and I promise you that such a thing will never happen again." he said and I sighed while resting my head against his chest. I stroked his hands lovingly with my fingers and he only sighed softly while rubbing the back of my neck.

  "How can you promise me something like that when I know it's going to happen again?" I asked.

  "Because it won't. I will make sure of it no matter what. You have my word..." he said and I looked back up at him with a small grin darting across my lips.

  "Well then ...I guess I just have to trust you. I mean not that I don't but...I mean I do but-" I began to stammer and he cut me off with a kiss to the lips. I moaned into his lips as I feel his hands tighten around my body and pull me in. He was absolutely...enthralling.

  I run my mouth alongside his and I groaned while I felt his body quivering. He pressed me against the wall of the home and runs his hands up my shirt and groped my breasts which caused me to moan loudly. I arched my back as the slickness in between my thighs only grew more intense. My mouth was slightly agape when I felt him begin to lick my nipples before he removed my shirt entirely. The look of his blue hands on my pale flesh was so...strange and yet so arousing.

  "Take me, take me. We lived through that, didn't we? I never want to be away for you for that long ever again." I said to him. I suppose this could've waited until the camp but I wanted this right now, I didn't care.

  I leaned into him and kissed him several more times while I felt a throbbing hardness rub my thighs. His strong arms grip my wrists and pin them to the side of the head as he began to kiss my breasts, suckling and pulling on them with his lips while I groaned for him. I cry out and shriek in pleasure as I felt his body shaking, his tight musculature was seizing as he continued to dart his lips across my chest.

  "Do whatever you want to me, whenever you want, do whatever you please." I whimpered.

  He gently bites my nipple and tugged on it while I groaned loudly. His lips begin to trace a path down to my crotch, going across my stomach until he finally reached that soaking wet spot. He gripped my pants and tugged them down to see my soaking wet folds in front of him. He grinned at me and darted his tongue across my womanhood in one swift movement.

  "Ahhh." I let out a long moan.

  "I think we've already done something like this, haven't we? Why don't we try something new?" he asked me.

  "What would that be master?" I asked him as he gripped my shoulders and pushed me down onto my knees.

  I encircle my hands around his member and began to stroke him while he moaned for me. My fingers run across his throbbing tip, his eyes shut and he thrust into my grasp while I continued to stroke him lovingly. I leaned in and kissed his tip once and he lets out a low growl before gripping the back of my head and thrusting into me completely. I felt it dash across my tongue and the roof of my mouth while I groaned, my moaning was muffled by his thick hardness as he slipped it in and out of me continuously. His tip was twitching along my tongue and it felt absolutely incredible.

  "Yes, yes, yes!" he growled, early roaring in fact as he began to thrust in and out of me faster and faster. I felt his muscular thighs rubbing my cheeks as he vigorously used my mouth to pleasure himself. Anything for him, anything at all.

  "Ohhhh..." I moaned as he slipped out of me, I looked up at him disappointingly and he shook his head and beckoned for me to stand back up.

  I stand in front of him and spread my legs to invite him inside of me. He pinned my hands against the wall and rubbed his tip against my clit before he slipped all the way inside. I gasped as fire ran through my body, bolts of lightning darting across my nerves as his thickness clashed with my throbbing clit. He gripped my left thigh with his right hand and slipped into me entirely as I felt his tip darting across my walls and my folds. I moan loudly as he begins to thrust into me, his hips buckle and I whimper as I felt his shaft throbbing. His textured Morelen member twitches uncontrollably and I feel him swelling when I looked him
in the eye. His golden orbs locked with my glance and I bite my lip as I watched his fangs dash across his lips. He roars while I screamed before the heat began to seep out of both of us.

  All of that hot seed drenched my walls which clenched his member as we both arrived at our climax. I could feel my own juices leaking out onto his member as he rolled his finger over my clit several times during the process of our climax. The pleasure was racking my body and I could barely calm myself as I shut my eyes and sighed while he pulled out of me. His tip dripped heat onto the floor and my body convulses from the incredible amount of heat and nervous energy flowing through me.

  We stand there for a while, glancing at one another and breaking into fits of laughter at various intervals. Eventually, he decided that we should probably slip our clothes back on and attend to matters outside and I agreed as I got dressed rather quickly. I pull my poncho on and step outside into the jovial crowds and the jubilation once more. Happy to be alive and happy to be with the man that I have grown to love.

  CHAPTER TWELVE

  Mortok

  As soon as the castle was rebuilt I began to engage in the many reforms that I have been seeking to enact. The first was that the entire mating practice was to be abolished and a prince was supposed to only take his mate home after wooing her. He would no longer arrive and claim her and force her to leave her home, now he would actually have to put some effort into wooing her which was quite popular amongst the humans but not entirely popular with others in the Morelen community. Many saw it as sacrilege but Julie had reassured me that I was doing the right thing and I knew I was. Her faith in me was all that I needed and with it, we had the utmost confidence that my actions were just.

  We had more rooms installed into the castle and more security measures were enacted. A stronger base and support system were installed into the castle in order to ensure that another attack such as the one that had occurred at the hands of Kerod wouldn't happen again. As soon as the king heard about what Kerod had done and his resulting death he had granted ownership of the Kerod's planets to me. I was rather shocked when he did but the explanation was that he was finally growing old and couldn't bear as many children as he used to. Thus he didn't have any child experienced enough or willing to take over the planet that Kerod had left behind which was somewhat of a mess at the moment if I had to say so myself.

  I wondered to myself if there was a deeper meaning behind his actions. If he was trying to set up a new heir by training some of the princes to manage more than one planet but I quickly shoved those thoughts to the back of my consciousness. There was no need for them at this moment, not when I had to focus on my child and the new world that I have been granted..

  Kerod's planet, Irethmia, was a lush jungle world that was unlike the cold and rugged landscape of Geran. It had a supreme number of natural resources and fruits that could have easily been cultivated but Kerod was more concerned with hoarding the goods for himself and basically enslaving the citizenry in order to work for him. He didn't have the technical knowledge on how to farm such foods and the individuals that did wouldn't touch that planet with the knowledge that such a tyrant was ruling.

  Reforms had to be enacted immediately if there was any chance that the planet could be salvaged and not completely purged.

  Gradually the population grew more inclined towards my rule and eventually I was accepted as their new ruler. As my policies were a dramatic departure from what Kerod had enacted the planet was slow to change but once it did it became the powerhouse that I knew it could be. It had a single moon which was rather unremarkable, a world filled with grasslands and stray human tribes that weren't especially noteworthy but judging from the celebrations they were happy to be under my rule.

  Otono helped me immensely and I took a more hands-on approach to the entire ruling process. I hired many more assistants than I had prior and had Otono manage all of them. With their help, my knowledge of the daily processes of both of my planets was vastly increased and I finally had confidence that an attack such as the one Kerod had attempted, would not occur under my watch.

  And as for my mate?

  "Mortok come here. Listen to them kick." she said to me as I knelt on the bed, leaning in and pressing my ear against her belly to only feel a force pushing against my temple.

  "Isn't that lovely?" I asked her.

  We had retreated towards Irethmia for a time away from the castle. I had found out that Julie had been pregnant several days ago and I was completely ecstatic. It turned out that we were having twins which would be perfect since I had two planets to give away at the moment. Funny how things turned out.

  "You like it here?" I asked her with amusement lacing my voice as she rested her feet on the guard railing of the home that we were staying at. Her toes slide against the straw and her heels press into the soft wood rail as her hands rest on her ample belly. There was a platter of various delicacies seated in between the two of us. I was going over reports on a holographic tablet, my job was incredibly challenging but I made it a point to always make time for her and soon, the children.

  "My mate...." I said wordlessly as I gazed out amongst the waters, smiling like an idiot while she looked upon me with concern.

  "What is it?' she asked and I twitched.

  "Oh, I'm sorry...Just thinking about this beautiful woman." I said as I got on top of her and kissed her once on the lips. She giggled and playfully began to reciprocate my gesture.

  "Prince Mortok could we get you anything? Some food perhaps? Would you like a drink? We have...water and ...water." said my mother as she darted across the living room floor in an attempt to tidy up. This had been a surprise visit. I looked to the back of the room to see my sisters sitting there, shocked as they glanced at the prince when he stepped in. I was right behind him with the babies bundled up in my arms. They were currently asleep.

  "No, no ma'am. I'm fine. In fact, Julie has something to show you." he said as he made room for me to walk through. I stepped forward and showed my family the children. Not everyone was there, Beth had left for school on some other planet and Lauren was at work on a distant moon but Cindy was there as well as my youngest sister, Deka.

  "Oh my god...They're so..." my mother began, those green orbs of her softening as the babies bristled slightly under the veil of her black hair. I smiled as my siblings began to gather around the children, silently pointing and smiling at one another. The infants had two horns on top of each of their heads, they were purple in color which was a common result of a hybrid.

  You make me so jealous little sister." Cindy said as she pulled me in.

  Luckily for me, she had lost that crush that she had on my husband and had found her own. He wasn't a Morelen prince but a human soldier that lived near Earth. She had followed him there and found work as a doctor, she was only coming for a visit. My youngest sister was about to leave for school as well, she had insisted that she stayed behind to greet a traveling Morelen prince that was seeking a bride but once she got turned down she had decided to take her chances in the void.

  "They are lovely, aren't they?" Mortok said in a gentle voice, his expression was one of joy and he looked entirely like the benevolent king that I knew he was, wrapped up in that grey cloak of his while he gazed upon his children with an affection that was reserved only for those closest to him.

  "Mom!" I called it as I darted around the castle. The cold hair brushed my locks of black hair as I groped the stone walls in an attempt to navigate the massive castle. My brother and I were approximately 10 years old now, 7 in Morelen years. In fact, today was our birthday which was why I was so dead set on finding my parents, I wanted to find out if they had a surprise for us or not. Since we were both human and Morelen my parents made a compromise by having our birthday alternate days each year, one year we would use the human calendar and the other we would just use the Morelen calendar. It was a pretty good
system, I would have liked two chances at presents, however.

  "Maybe she and dad are at the balcony again? You know how they are." my brother, Jerol, said and I grunted in affirmation.

  "Maybe ...You think uncle Otono knows? He's always looking for dad." I suggested and my brother shook his head.

  "Won't be much of a surprise if Otono lets us in on the secret ...Guess we're just going to have to look for them the hard way." he said as he runs down the hall and I followed.

  We search every room that there was in this castle until we finally force ourselves to run across the kitchen walkway. We at first thought that it would have been our rooms that they were hiding in but that wasn't the case.

  Growing up in such a massive castle was beneficial but it had its drawbacks. Such as the fact that it was hard to find a single spot in the entire building since it was so massive. We had to walk for quite a while until we got to the room we wanted to find and often times someone could get lost. As we grew older it gradually became easier, however. "Whatever. They'll come to us when they want to. Let's just check this one last thing and then we can go play outside or something..." said my brother but I wasn't so keen on giving up just yet. I sighed and opened the door to the kitchen walkway which was surprisingly dark.

  "Ahhh...Jerol?" I called back to him and he paced behind me and shivered.

  "Holy...Maybe this isn't such a good idea. What if we were under attack? You remember the stories that dad use to tell us about Prince Kerod? I don't want to-" began my brother before I simply walked into the darkness and called out for them. I knew that this had something to do with our surprise. How could it not?

  "Happy birthday!" Roared my dad as he gripped me and lifted me up. I yelled as he tossed me in the air before I began to squeal. My brother walked up and looked down at the kitchen see the workers as well as our friends standing there, smiling and waving. My mother paced up from behind my brother and lifted him up while he squealed in her arms.
