The Black Wolf

This is a short story I wrote a couple of years ago, when my writing was weak and unstructured. Recently I performed many minor revisions, but there is only so much I can do without completely rewriting it. At some point I would like to write a sequil, but I don't have any ideas so if anyone else does feel free to share.

----------

Dracchus was laying outside his tent, staring at the stars but began to doze off. His eyelids became heavy and sleep took over him. Minutes later, a cold nose on his neck woke him up. Dracchus opened his eyes to see a wolf, the moonlight making her black fur seem to glow. He jumped, she hopped back and growled for a few seconds but then stopped, coming closer to him again. He backed up until he was against a tree but she kept advancing, seeming curious rather than hostile.

She eyed him inquisitively and sniffed at his neck, he wished he was elsewhere. After a few moments, she did not attack him. He looked at her in the same way she was looking at him-with a curious wonder at the unexpected situation. She had expected to have been shot or captured and he had expected to have been eaten or mauled.

After nearly ten minutes of blank staring, Dracchus reached out a trembling hand, she tensed suspiciously but did not run or bite him. His hand settled on her cheek, as he reveled in the softness of her fur, she stayed tense, not really trusting him but no longer knowing why she shouldn't. He stroked from her cheek down her neck and across her back as far as he could reach before returning his hand to her cheek and starting again.

She emitted a pleasant mrring noise and began to lose her defensive attitude, becoming less tense around him. He continued to pet her and she continued to relax, eventually laying across his lap and nuzzling his belly while he pet her. In just a short time the two of them had grown very attached to each other, each felt the other was perfect in every way.

Dracchus eventually coaxed the beautiful she-wolf off of his lap and headed back to his tent. She followed, not wanting to return to the harsh life of a wolf without a pack, she didn't want to be a loner anymore. The human crawled into his tent, but before he could zip it up, the wolf followed. He gestured for her to leave, but she didn't. He smiled and decided it would be nice to have some company after all the years of being a social outcast.

He laid on top of his sleeping bag and she curled up to him. He held her and ran his fingers through the lovely soft fur on her back while she licked his neck. He smiled and kissed her forehead, causing her to mrr again. He realized that he was sweating and not because it was hot or because he was afraid. He had fallen for her, and she seemed to feel the same way. They eventually fell asleep cuddling.

The next day, Dracchus packed up his camping gear and stuck it in his truck. He didn't want to leave his new lover, but he had work the next day and needed to get back to the city. The she-wolf watched in wonder as the shelter she'd slept in the night before was reduced to only sticks and what looked like a giant leaf in just a few minutes and packed away.

Once everything was packed, Dracchus opened the driver seat of his truck. The wolf hopped in before him. He tried to coax her out of the truck but she wouldn't budge, so he gave in again and drove her to his house with the full intention of bringing her back should she pine for the woods.

Once they got home, he put away all of the camping stuff and gave his new "wife" a tour of their home that ended with the bathroom where he started the shower and began to get nude. He stepped under the water and she followed him as he'd hoped. He washed her thick fur then washed himself. He shut off the water and stepped out, drying himself with a towel and trying to dry her but failing. All of his towels ended up soaked and she didn't seem to get any drier. He got a better idea and used a hair drier to dry her dark fur while brushing her, then brushed his own hair.

The two of them rolled around in the back yard all day then cuddled in Dracchus's bed that night. They were both truly happy for the first time.

Kardas, I must say I was swept away with your story. I loved the way you compared a she wolf to a wife in a way......guess she was man's best friend in the best way. Is there a moral to the story I am missing? Your writing would be perfect for a University literature class to analyze and compare notes.....even if you did not have a hidden moral to it.

Your talents could blossom if you give them a chance.

Thanks for the compliments, I'm glad you enjoyed my short story :-) There are no hidden messages, it's just a cute little inter-species love story.

Kardas - you have to write something else. That was just really entertaining.

I'm editing my post because I just reread your post with the question about suggestion for a sequel. I can't really condone a sequel to this specific story now that I know you're "zoophilic" (I think I can guess what that means, though I'm not really sure) anyway - I guess I think that might be kind of abusive to animals if that is what I think it is - they don't have any idea of what the hell is going on or why - but I do like your general writing style. It's kind of just to the point and innocent in its own way and this particular story afforded me quite a lot of amusement- especially the part where he couldn't dry the wolf's fur. Where did that come from?

I hope you write more - if you can tear yourself away from your video games (I read your profile). Just make a note that I'm not in any way condoning or asking for stories that contain or condone bestiality.

Zoophilia is an attraction to animals, yes, but it is also a deep respect and love for animals. No one is against animal abuse more strongly than a zoophile. Bestiality is different, bestialists only care about the act of physically being with an animal, and most don't consider the feelings of their partners. Animals do know what's going on (otherwise they would never mate, all species would go extinct from a complete lack of breeding), and I believe they have the capacity to willingly be involved in (or even initiate) this sort of relationship with a human. Because of differences in the shape of the larynx from species to species, most can't speak similar languages though animals do communicate through body language and tones. Anyone who pays enough attention to their animal friends should be able to understand a bit of what the animal is trying to communicate to them. You couldn't have an in-depth discussion on nuclear physics with your dog, but a sort of basic conversation could be had. It's horribly difficult to explain, but I strongly believe that animals can consent to or even initiate intimate relationships with humans. While some people do abuse animals in this way, not every relationship of that sort is abusive to the animal.

Sorry about the rant there ^_^

Actually your rant was pretty interesting as well. Although I have to say, I can't really wrap my head around the whole inter-species concept when it comes to sex. I understand the love and affection and communication part though. My dog has the most expressive eyes I think I've ever seen - and she actually smiles too- she's a master communicator.

Animals are capable of such loyalty and trust and love- I think it's a lot like a relationship one has with a child though - and the sentient adult should be responsible for what's appropriate interaction and what's not. An unaware being (child or animal) might initiate an activity that is not in its best interest - but if they do, the thinking adult needs to guide him or her or it in a more appropriate direction.
Those are just my thoughts on the issue.

Nice talking to you.

This seems to be a position that a lot of people hold, but I really don't think it's reasonable to compare an adult animal to a human child or to compare zoophilia to pedophilia. Many people do treat their pets like children, but unless an animal is babied its entire life it will mature as it ages like humans do. If animals were like children though, the relationship would not be destructive. When a child has a relationship with an adult and people find out, people will talk about the child and they will probably lose friends. If the child cares about the adult it could be a big blow to them emotionally when the adult goes to jail. The child will probably also be sent to psychological therapy, which has its own social stigma attached. A past like this could affect their future, they may be seen as emotionally or mentally unstable because of the events and the confusion involved at the time may even unbalance them. Animals don't live in human society, they don't have to deal with the harsh social stigmas of humans. An animal wouldn't be emotionally destoyed if people were to find out about the relationship because they don't have to care what other people think of it-it doesn't affect them. I hope I don't sound like I'm trying to force my views on you, this is just what I believe. Also, both of the situations I described are assuming that there was no rape-rape is wrong regardless of the circumstances.

Yes, sadly what you write about childhood sexual abuse is true. It's heartbreaking to see children who have had such experiences forced on them continue to feel emotionally attached (because it might be the only attachment they've ever made, inappropriate or not) to their abuser and to actually feel guilty when or if they make the abuse known and their abuser is removed and/or punished.

I guess I have to say I agree that an animal would probably suffer the repercussions less intensely than a child.
But I'm wondering how healthy it is for the human to engage in something that's so taboo in our society. As with any secret, there are costs to the psyche of the person who feels they have to keep who or what they are or what activities they enjoy hidden.

And I can't help but feel that the animal feels some discomfort, confusion or unfamiliarity. Doesn't any species feel most comfortable interacting on that level with one of their own kind? I don't know a lot about it, but that would seem to be the natural order of things and to make the most sense.

This is my favorite thing about a2k - thinking about things I never would have thought of on my own.

It is a rather difficult secret to have to keep...though I made the mistake of telling a couple of friends a few years ago and it spread so now EVERYONE in my area knows...I get picked on a lot at school for it but I think I've actually become a stronger person as a result of being forced out in the open like that. I can be myself without having to worry about what's cool or whatever, no one really cares what I do because all they see is a zoophile. As bad as it is at first, it's quite liberating after a while. I do feel bad for the zoos who can't tell anyone, either from paralyzing fear or from the possibility of physical violence against them for it. Having to deny one's own existance and lie to everyone is a difficult situation to be in.

There is discomfort, confusion, and unfamiliarity in any relationship. That's what courting is for ^_^ regardless of species a couple still must get used to each other. It is natural for an animal to be attracted to the opposite gender of its own species, but it is also natural for an animal to seek animals of the same gender or of other species. This isn't nearly as common as a same species opposite gender relationship, but homosexual and inter-species relationships occur more frequently than most people think in nature. I've seen a dog (a retriever I think) and a deer hook up and even mate, as well as a raccoon and a dog (beagle), and a cat and dog (chihuahua), and I've heard of numerous inter-species romances from friends and on "Amazing Animal Videos". Biologists used to deny that anything of the like was possible, so it's still not exactly common knowledge but it does happen. Individual animals have different personalities and are into different things. If I were with a dog (let's say a husky) and we like each other and she's willing to try that sort of thing with a human, I see no harm in it Laughing

Don't misunderstand though, I would never rape an animal. I only consider showing my interest if I'm certain the animal is interested in the same thing, I don't like to move too fast and if the animal seems uncomfortable I back off. Not that I'm experienced to be honest, I was only in a relationship with an animal once and it wasn't sexual. We were caught kissing and I wasn't allowed to see her anymore...we were in love though Crying or Very sad

I still miss her

Well, I hope you get it all figured out somehow. I can't see how it can end happily myself -this inter-species dating and mating.

I mean even people who are of the same species, but different religions, or races or educational levels, or social backgrounds face such difficulties in maintaining relationships. I can only imagine that the issues would be intensified if there was the small matter of different species involved.

And what about children? Not in the picture at all I guess. I mean you could nurture and care for her offspring, but would she be able to nurture and care for yours? Those are the things you have to think of - the everyday, nitty-gritty issues like that.

And finally, you might have loved her, but how do you know she loved you? She might have just loved the taste of what you ate for dinner that night. Laughing

Not trying to burst your bubble or anything, but you gotta think of those things.

Well, I gotta get ready for my abnormal psychology class. I'll ask the lecturer if this subject is on the syllabus, and if it's not - maybe I'll ask him for some recommended readings. If I learn anything I think will be helpful - I'll pass it on. Hang in there...

There is a nearly insurmountable language barrier to make things difficult, it would take quite a bit of effort to make it work.

I've never really thought of having children, genetic differences make that sort of thing impossible.

I often ask myself questions like that, and I usually don't have answers. She was more affectionate towards me than to anyone else, but maybe I just smell nice or something? They're not easy thoughts to have...

I realized that biological children inter-specially (is that a word?) are not possible. I was just wondering what would happen if either of you brought offspring into the relationship - you know- like step-children.

I have to admit, I didn't have the nerve to ask about the subject matter-it was the first day and I didn't want anyone getting the idea I was asking for myself. You know how people say, "I have this friend.... or "There's this person I know who..." and everyone assumes it's yourself you're talking about. No offense, but I don't think I have the same strength or fortitude that you do. I couldn't walk around school or work having people think they know (even mistakenly) something so strange and intimate about me.
But somehow I get the feeling you're not the type who would need help researching it anyway - you seem perfectly capable of gathering, organizing and interpreting information.

It's refreshing to hear someone so young, speak so maturely on such a delicate and difficult issue. Even within a species, it's quite a rarity.

Whoever you are and whatever your proclivities - you have a lot going for you- you're a good writer, you think clearly (except when it comes to canines) and you're funny as hell. I'm sure you'll work it out.

Part 2!!!
Dracchus was amazed at how coldly his co-workers treated him. In the short time he'd spent with his new mate, her affection was enough to make him forget that he was unwanted elsewhere. Out of curiosity, he had once kissed a dog but he didn't know that he had been seen doing so. Word spread, and anyone associating with him was thought to advocate animal cruelty. Only by pleading heavily and working an extra unpaid shift every day was he able to keep his job stocking shelves at a grocery store. People avoided him, and spoke of him constantly in hushed whispers.

Jodi had adjusted to living in a house much faster than either she or Dracchus could have predicted. The big black lupine was stretched across Drac's couch, running the events of the past few weeks through her head. Ever since a brief encounter with a camera crew as a cub, she had been intensely interested in humans. Through her peculiar interests she had managed to alienate every other wolf in her pack. Eventually, her family and friends grew tired of her oddness and forced her to leave. The times following that were difficult for her, food was hard to come by and she couldn't return to the territory of her pack for help. It would be nearly a month before she would meet Dracchus, a wonderful human male who'd brought her into his world and would provide for her without asking anything in return. Jodi was actually frightened at how deeply she cared for him, her heart was moving too quickly and she couldn't stop it.

Hours later, after Dracchus had walked in the door Jodi jumped on him. Her heavy, but graceful body knocked the unsuspecting human to the ground. She licked his face with an incredible intensity, and on an impulse he opened his mouth for her. They engaged in a long and passionate kiss, stopping only to breathe. Dracchus smiled as he looked up at the face of his loving wolf, softly caressing her. Jodi mrred and laid down on top of Dracchus, he wrapped his arms around her and gently scratched her sides making her mrr again.

"Just being near you makes everything right in the world", Dracchus said with a wistful sigh. Jodi nuzzled his neck and mrred, he rubbed her tummy. They snuggled on the floor for a while, then showered together again. Jodi found she enjoyed being clean, it made her feel more human, and a bit closer to Dracchus because of it. After her thick fur had been dried, they cuddled and slept in Drac's bed again. This continued for the rest of the week, though each of them had been gradually growing more nervous around the other as their feelings for one another flourished.

Fearing that he could be imagining some of it, he decided to go camping with Jodi again. If she wanted to leave, she probably would he concluded. Friday night, he packed up all of his camping gear and threw it in his truck. The next morning, he fed Jodi when she awoke and they left.

After Dracchus set up camp, he and Jodi played until the sun went down, then relaxed in front of a campfire until they had grown tired. They snuggled and slept in Drac's tent, but in the middle of the night Jodi awake to the sound of one of her pack mates howling. Her ears perked and she waited for the sound to repeat before deciding to visit them one last time. She very slowly and cautiously wriggled out of Drac's grip and set out in the direction of her old den.

When Jodi reached the home of her pack, her old home, she was greeted with many cold glares and a few growls. She immediately took a submissive position, pleading to be acknowledged as part of the pack if only for a brief while. Her own family growled at her hatefully until finally her brother charged. She was sure he wouldn't attack, but as he got closer she became less certain. Before he got her, she bolted off in a random direction. The rest of the pack joined in on the chase, she was able to stay a bit ahead of them but by the time they stopped their pursuit she had no idea where she was. Whimpering, she desperately tried to find a way back to Dracchus.

Dracchus woke up alone, thinking at first that his mate had gone to do her business in the woods. After 20 minutes, he became quite worried. He got dressed and looked for her for a few hours, unable to find any trace. "She went back to her pack...she's really gone.." he said to himself mournfully, feeling tears well up in his eyes. He buried his face in his arms and sat motionless, feeling as if the world had ended.

He had fallen asleep, he realized as a cold nose pressed against his neck and woke him up. He opened his eyes to see his beloved, and their eyes met for a long moment. He threw his arms around her in a tight hug and she lapped at his face and neck excitedly. They spent the day together as they had tried to do as often as possible. Each of them had realized they would only have each other, and they needed one another.

That night, in a single beautiful act they became one in body and in soul. Their relationship had become even closer afterwards, they were nearly inseparable. All of the problems of the world seemed to disappear, Drac had Jodi and Jodi had Drac and that's all that would ever matter to them.

I'm beginning to think there's something wrong with me- this is the first thing I've laughed at on a2k in about two weeks - (ever since Mathos left). Why do I find this so funny? I don't know - it just cracks me up for some reason. Last time, my favorite part was how you used the blow dryer on her fur. This time - I liked the "mrr" sound. I also like how they always go camping, and enjoy the outdoors together. Even though it's such a taboo, abnormal relationship - there's just something so playful and innocent about the whole thing.

Jodi - that's a cute name for a wolf. And Dracchus... hmm...Kardas - is there something you'd like to share with us? Dracchus sounds a lot like Kardas rearranged. Go ahead- tell us - you have a wolf living with you, don't you? The emotion and all the detail just ring so true to life, I don't think you could be making it up.

Jodi came from a random Greek name generator (Seventh Sanctum), and Dracchus just sorta came to me when I wrote the story. Now that you compare it to my pseudonym, I do see some similarities but my pseudonym was Johann Fox when I wrote TBW part 1, I changed it because Kardas sounds neater (if you want the sort of boring story of how I came up with Kardas, just let me know). If I had a wolf living with me, I'd brag :-P trust me lol. I do enjoy the compliment though ^_^

0 Replies

Yeah, well the names definitely set a tone. Jodi helps with the cuteness factor, for sure. You'd think a she-wolf would have a really dignified, formal sounding name like Arabella or a kind of Alaskan wilderness kind of name like Kia, but not Jodi. Jodi just sounds so fun-loving and normal. And the way you guys (see, I know Dracchus is really you Laughing

) roll around and rub tummies, etc.- funny.

Would you really brag about it if you had an intimate relationship with a wolf though? Then you'd have to be like Dracchus and work an extra shift for no pay everyday just so they wouldn't run you out of town. Dracchus (the name) sounds a little sinister, and doesn't fit the nice, open character of the guy who loves the wolf as well as Kardas. I do like Kardas for this character better. Two syllables, Greek-kind of reminds me of Kojak.

Oh damn, now I'm really laughing. I just pictured Telly Savalas with a wolf, (and his lollipop). Picture it - how funny is that- Telly Savalas talking to his wolf-love in his smooth, knowing voice? Maybe he could use her as a K-nine to help him solve his crimes.

Johann Fox is good too. Kind of a twist on Johann Bach. I got to hand it to you. You're funny - and good with names (I really think you should think about changing Dracchus though-especially if you're not that attached to it. Kardas works much better for that character Laughing

Everyone around here already knows about my attraction to animals. They don't react as negatively as the people around Dracchus (except for those guys who threw rocks at me last year). I tried to isolate Drac and Jodi in their own social circles to they bond faster :-P

No one ever picked up on that when I was calling myself Johann LOL! Thanks for the compliment, I think I'm funny too.

Guess that settles it then - can't be you. And I guess there's no way you would travel to a woodland area and tolerate camping for your wolf/lady-love. Lucky then that she's with someone like Dracchus who sees to it that she gets to visit her natural habitat every now and then. It'd be sad for such a wild and beautiful animal to be contained and constrained and turned into a house pet. Don't you think so? How would you deal with that issue if you did have a wolf, Kardas?

I thought stoning went out with the old testament. Didn't Jesus say something about "Let those without sin throw the first stone"? (Which basically leaves noone to be throwing any stones). Noone ever listens, do they? I'm sorry that happened to you.
There's a song I've heard and I can't put my finger on who or what, I just remember the line "And love is never wrong..." The more I hear about Jodi and Dracchus, the more that line plays over and over in my head Laughing

. What do you think? Can love ever be wrong? I mean I guess it can be inconvenient, or look inappropriate (as is the case with Dracchus and Jodi) but can it be wrong? Of course you have to differentiate between love and lust and love and wanting to control and love and abusing whatever power over someone or something a someone else might have. But if it's real, true love - can it be wrong? I don't know...

Isolation can be very inspiring. It can also be informative. Two people sorry- I mean beings -in isolation find out very quickly if they have what it takes to stick with each other without distractions or diversions. So that's a good plan, in terms of developing any relationship between them. But Dracchus also needs to be able to take the heat when he's outwith Jodi in public. A female always knows something's up when the guy only wants time with her in "private" or they always have to be "alone" or he doesn't want to introduce her to his friends. Although since this is interspecial ( I like that word, I don't know if it's real or not - but I like it- I'm gonna start using it all the time now) maybe Jodi will be more understanding and even more comfortable with it herself. I mean who the heck wants to go out on a date and get stoned (with or by stones- not the other way).

That brings up a whole different set of questions. What do they do on dates? Do they like the same music? Food? Would they be able to go to a movie together or a restaurant? I guess Dracchus could pretend Jodi was a seeing eye dog or something. But would Jodi feel okay about lying about who or what she was?
See, I'm back to all my questions and doubts. I'm not trying to be difficult - I'm just really, really curious. But I think I gave you a lot of good story/plot ideas- don't you? Dates, relationship roles, gender issues...

The Johann Fox/Bach thing- was it intentional? I thought it was pretty clever, so I just assumed it was intentional.

Yes it'd be terrible to keep such a lovely wild animal cooped up in the tiny apartment I'll probably find myself in a couple of years from now. If I had a wolf mate I guess I could build a shack in the woods or something and she could come and go as she pleased.

I don't think true love can ever be wrong. Though it can be inconvenient for those involved or outwardly strange to a lot of people, if the feeling is there it can't be wrong. I could just be a hopeless romantic though Laughing

I used to listen to a lot of classical music, though I got tired of that after a few months.

You're so refreshingly honest. Every post you make I find at least one part of it really funny. This time it was - "I used to listen to a lot of classical music, though I got tired of that after a few months." I have to admire anyone who can admit that completely without irony.

Honestly, I have to admit I feel the same way. I like listening to it live - because I like watching the musicians play. But I don't like listening to it recorded. In fact I can't. I find it very distracting - and I always end up turning it off- whereas other types of music don't have that effect on me at all. But I always feel like I should be listening to more classical music - or at least jazz- or something more sophisticated than what I actually do listen to- which today was Bob Seger, and that's just because my son refused to listen to the Dandy Warhol's even one more time. I have to admit though - I do love Bob Seger - especially Against the wind and Roll Me Away.

No pressure - but definitely (please) write a third part. Your wolf thread has become my comic relief. And I want you to know I appreciate it (truly).
*Sorry for all the rambling.
