The Harem of Ice Chapter 2 – Talon Darkclaw

	A spring afternoon hearkened Talon being born he was furred in midnight sky black fur  with small wings the pride and joy of his mother and his father.  Life was generally easy for a noble born wolf pup.  Hardest part of growing up was starting as soon as he could lift a weapon being taught how to fight.  As he grew so did his wings  he could open them out widely feathered in black  transitioning to white tips on the feathers with practice he claimed the sky as his playground like any boy taking risks.   Some said risks did get him in trouble or worse he did get injured some trying to show off.
	As he grew to be a teen he was a avid hunter and learning the ways of ruling his clan but grew with a great distrust of the neighboring clans and worse the feline empire that had been building larger the years.  Talon grew a deep hate of felines that came about of a feline trader humiliating him as a pup for throwing a tantrum.  He planed and schemed for when he took over the clan however it wasn't coming fast enough for him.  As Talon grew into adulthood he finalized his plans no matter how evil it may be he would cover it up and no one would care once he was in charge and crushed their enemies.

	Taking what funds he had Talon set his plans in motion buying a few items in secret  he waited making sure timing was perfect his father was was meeting with non wolf guests  they  had just left and when they had Talon made his move  knowing his father's habits he had the proud wolf killed using weapons he had gotten from a feline trader knowing they could be traced back to feline origins the trader himself killed and shown as evidence of a feline plot to put down wolves.  Moving into control of the clan  Talon's plans moved forward he met with leaders of the other clan rallying the call of aggression on the feline empire and their Queen Emira.  He used the murder of his father a well respected leader to solidify that the filthy cats had plotted his fathers death.
	It did take some more coaxing some more murders with feline designed weapons to urge other nobles into  placing their forces into a readiness to strike.  The mounting tensions were leaked to Emira thanks to her scouts and envoys even some smuggled letters from nobles prior to their murder warning Emira of the wolf intent to pack together and possibly attack.  Emira wishing to keep the peace between her people and their close neighbors the the wolves sent a envoy to the nearest wolf clan the Dark claws.  
	
	Talon was lounging on the great hall dealing with daily issues  and preparations for his forces when a guard captain announced that the envoy had arrived.  Talon beckoned them in a smirk across his muzzle.  The envoy came garbed simply and unarmed but had a few guards of various races that kept a sharp eye out.   The envoy tried to produce a parchment a peace accord with Emira her queen.  Seeing it Talon rose form his seat fur raised as his lips curled back into a snarl.  “ You dare come seeking peace after your people MURDERD nobles of our great clans....I will not stand for it nor will I suffer your lies.  I have a message to send back to your queen and you will do so once properly humiliated.   Guards seize them if they fight cut them down! “  Talon himself drew his sword rushing the guards who tried to defend not only the envoy but their own lives guards swarmed  cutting down the guards quickly Talon halted them from the envoy he grabbed the young cheetah by her chin and forced her amber eyes to look at him.  “ you will regret ever coming here cat and when we crush your queen I will see her crawling at at the feet of my people.”  Talon called to his guards bind her outside  but no harming her.   The guards bound the feline outside in front of the clan as their noble ordered.

	Talon strode out calling out to everyone that could hear him throughout the clan village. “ this envoy seeks to try and tame us...to speak into our ears with a silvered tongue then sinks her poisoned claws into our backs!  All of her lies flowing from the mouth of Emira their queen...I say NO MORE!  These cats Murdered my father...have murdered others of the other noble clans and now I feel its time to send them a message! “  The growing crowd cheered and rallied under their young leader he showed strength and determination something he gained from his father as well as his power to control earth itself.  Talon used his knife to cut the clothes from the cheetah girl leaving her nude before everyone motioning with his hands the ground formed up  into a set of stone stocks binding her  wrists and neck  bending her body over then spreading her legs to all to see.  If you hate the felines and their lies like I do take it out on this one send her back as a message we will not listen to their lies , their cowardly queen will know we are proud and we are strong.  I command do anything you wish t this one just do not harm her to the point of threatening her life”  The girl had a leather fitted ring put in her mouth and tied in place so she couldn't bite she could only look up in anger at this wolf leader.
	Talon slapped her ass calling out to the males “ fuck her fill her with wolf seed and send her home this is my command “   the first to rape the poor girl was Talon himself who roughly  did so  pulling roughly on her  hair as everyone who wished to watched and cheered on for the spectacle when done  Talon removed himself  form the girl and spit on her “ Now to go wash the feline filth off me”  He pulled his clothes back on and walked inside the noble house leaving the crowd to descend upon the girl who could do nothing.  The abuse on her lasted most of the day  till that eve Talon returned throwing a bucket of cold water over her “ Guards give her some  rough spun clothes and escort her off our lands.  Girl...Feel proud that one of us wolves put a pup in your belly rather than a weak cat. “ 

	Talon tossed the bucket aside and waved his hand the bindings all crumbling to dirt under her letting the guards  take the ring out of her used mouth and dress her before escorting her away to return to Emira.  Talon in the mean time took her peace accord and used to to rally the nobles against the feline empire.  It took little to push the hot blooded nobles to agree that this queen was to be put down the clans banded together to attack fortifying positions over the next weeks.   Talon did the same sending raiding parties out to outlying farms and scouts out to watch for troop movements.  His plan was to let the others go into open combat he would have his people hit and run  so both sides wear down each other.  Emira to be felled first then the broken down other clans taken till there would be one solidified Wolf Empire.  It took days much sooner than Talon wished for Emira to act her troops on the move his scouts reported to him his order if any that are caught interrogate then behead the heads to be displayed on poles as a warning.  Then once supply routes are found hit them  even if supplies are not taken harass the forces  spoil foods do anything to break their spirit before the body.

	Talon often took to the battle average troops for Emira even heavily armored bears could not stand to him  with his ability to fly or the fact the very earth was a weapon for him traps or  blockades and he ruthlessly used them leaving bodies torn asunder for allies to find  as his calling card.  Scouts fed information to him and he coordinated the attacks knowing it was working.  Other clans meeting in open combat fairly matched till word of Emira possessing a dragon make talon angry this could undermine his entire plan.  It had to be Haku....how did Emira get the mountain dragon to aid her.
Needing further aid Talon met with a feline  named Kengi this man was a white and black striped cat but his facial features betrayed having wolf blood in his veins.  With the right price he would do attacks for wolf forces with a evil grin he paid gold to him sending him on his way with his raiding forces to hopefully distract and demoralize Emira more.  One eve news came that the mercenary forces had made  the dragon leave his outpost and its lightly defended. This was perfect he would be gone so talon could swoop in take supplies , prisoners and burn the rest to ashes.  Plans easily made that early morning they would attack en mass on it.

	That morning Talon led the charge taking to the air a wave of his hand the gate into the outpost was torn down by a battering ram of stone  his troops swarmed in while Talon took to the wall emplacements  to kill archers.  The fight was going good for him the victory would be easily taken but he ignored that it was being too easy.  Talon focused on a young soldier he toyed with him disarming him light wounds here and there just toying with his prey.  His troops all seemed to freeze when they herd a dragons roar.  Talon holding this young male up motioned  his hand then threw him down impaling the cat on a stone pike before taking to the air to find the dragon's position.
	That took little time as the eastern dragon roared angrily  diving form above the clouds slamming into talon  then to land slamming the noble wolf in armor down into the soft earth screaming in rage at him.  While Haku's forces moved in to fight  Talon was hard pressed fighting a enraged dragon  blocking with his shield the Dragon caused the steel to chill then grow icy deep in the metal the ice fractured the metal weakening it till a hard blow shattered the metal sending Talon to the dirt  their combat went back and forth talon never able to inflict a hard wound to press a advantage.  Haku pushed  in a rage till he had disarmed  and lightly injured the wolf pouncing on him he shoved his weight onto the wolf's smaller frame and  savagely began beating the noble till he was bloodied and no longer moving.  Other wolves seeing this fled some caught those who surrender or injured given mercy by Haku's forces.  Talon on the other hand was chained and literally dragged though the mud till he woke  then was forced to walk behind Haku  bound as a prisoner till they reached Emira's main encampment creatures all various races cheered as Haku brought in the noble taking him to Emira's war tent  attaching his chain to a heavy set wooden support pole ensuring the wolf could not escape unless he or Emira allowed it.  Talon snarled and snapped at the dragon “ release me NOW! I swear I will....” Talon was cut off as haku grabbed him my the scruff and smashed his face into the pole “ shut your fucking mouth dog....”  Talon tried to protest some more earning him a harsh smack into the wood pole making him see stars.  

	“ Enough Haku....hes chained and going no where. “  Emira strode into the tent clad in her armor sword resting at her hip.  “you did well bringing him here now see to your troop needs and get some rest I will deal with this whelp. “  Haku nodded though his blood boiled wanting to tear this pup apart bare handed “ Yes Mistress.  Watch him though he has powers like you and I do.  While he was out we fitted him with a rune stone collar he cant use any of his powers  till you remove it”  The blue lioness nodded “ thank you now go “  haku strode out of the tent leaving them alone Emira walked around him eyeing him over.  Talon stood as tall as he could  “ so we meet Emira too bad the positions were not reversed I had plans for what I could do to you...”  With a snarl Emira backhanded the wolf “ like my envoy....I sent her to talk peace and you brutalized her for hours! “  Talon spit some blood on the lioness “ What of it its a harsh world out here only the strong live.  Emira's scowl turned to a smile that hid the rage burning in her.  “ I could not agree more  Mr..? “  “ Talon...Talon of clan Darkclaw. Noble by birth and leader of the clan”  While talon spoke Emira moved behind him and roughly grabbed the wings he was born with  roughly tearing the flight feathers out of them  trying to resist a clawed hand grasped his neck   growing icy cold  the shock of cold on his system in the warm tent stalled him while she forced him to his knees finishing the other wing one handed taking the feathers and throwing them into the fire.

	Talon growled his ability to fly taken away till those grew back in Coming around in front of talon after he stood up she carried a drink in hand taking a sip of it.  “ You brutalized my envoy....butchered my troops and have failed to pay the price for this for far too long....I'm not here to kill your kind but you fools are not giving me a choice.”  Every time Talon tried to speak Emira lashed out  back handing him or a slap over his face with her claws shutting him up.  Emira walked to the side pouring her a second drink then came back.  “ I'm sorry...where are my manners I should give you a drink she lifted the glass and poured the liqiour over his head when it hit the open wounds he growled as it burnt.

	Talon shook his head thrashing about  Emira taking the time to turn him and rebind his wrists to the post with metal shackles he herd her humming a tune before she leans in and whispers in his ear “It's time time to pay the piper....and I'm going to enjoy this a lot....I'm sure you will enjoy it about as much as my envoy did. “   When talon opened his muzzle to protest a large metal ring was forced between his  teeth.  She quickly tore his clothes off him leaving him in the nude before her  smirking she gently   caressed his sac then clenched her claws down his whine of pain was music to her ears.  “ shhhh.....don't worry ill take...GOOD care of you dear noble. “  Again Emira went nice like hot and cold she gently caressed his sheathe till his shaft was rigid.  “there we go....I think your ready for your first gift. “ saying that Emira  clasps something very cold around the base of his shaft hearing it click  closed it was painful  making him squirm  trying to protest.  “ shhh....hush now its just a cock ring...we cant have you going floppy while we have fun now can we...and your not allowed to cum before I say to”  She tapped his cock head with a claw tip making him squirm to her amusement she toyed over his body  poking and prodding caressing his reaction a welcome sight.  
	Her claws gently at first pinched down on his nipples making him arch his back  whimpering with the attention his shaft freely leaked precum.  Emira gathered up some of his precum  on her finger and  wiping it across his face “I feel its about time we got down to the meat and potatoes of this meeting.”   Trying to pull himself loose  he was unable to and was left to watch Emira move aside  rummaging in a travel case  she glanced over her shoulder “ ah! Here it is! “  With a wicked smile Emira held up a fake penis on a leather harness the shaft designed after a large feline barbs and all  put into its design.   Talon renewed his struggles trying to tear the shackles loose form the pole as Emira walked up she belted the harness on  after slipping out of her clothes.  Emira unhooked his bindings from the pole and rebound the hands at the small of his back lacing his tail up under the bindings to hold it out of the way  when talon tried to make a break for it   she brought her  fist down hard on his temple  dazing him.

	“ uh uh....your not going someplace till I say so”  She dug her  claws into his hair like a leash shoving him down onto his knees before  forcing his mouth onto the cock she wore  roughly thrusting into his muzzle not caring if it choked him.  Emira tired of his gagging sounds  and pathetic tried to stop her  pulling his head away she threw him against the edge of the table bending the wolf over it shoving his face into the wooden surface her hand latched onto the rune stone collar shoving him down harshly.  “ stay still boy I'm going to do to you what you did to my envoy I care not that your male I will brutalize you till I feel you learn your lesson! “  Emira eased up and with no care to how or if he was ready hilted herself into his tail hole if Talon's mouth didn't have the gag he would have screamed loud enough for the entire camp to hear him some outside the tent did hear the cry he made and smirked not knowing what she was doing to him.   Talon squirmed and struggled  his entire body felt like it was being ripped apart then a new sensation of pain kicked in when Emira  dug her claws into his shoulders  opening fresh wounds to bleed onto the table.  Hooking the claws into him she pulled his body back to meet her thrusts  till Talon was  almost a rag doll when she had finished  fucking the poor wolf  she shoved him to the floor he was too weak to move  much less try anything  then she looked at the floor of her tent seeing where even with the cock ring to suppress him form cumming he had onto the floor.

	“ Enjoyed it I see....naughty little wolf aren't we well then I guess I have no choice but to continue your punishment in my Harem.   First though I think a little public surprise is in order. “ Digging into the travel case she found the other item she wanted  setting it aside she  unbelted the toy to be cleaned  smirking seeing his blood on it knowing she had done a number on him  the second toy however would not hurt but instead excite him just what she wanted.  Taking the odd shaped plug she rolls the wolf onto his belly getting a groan of protest before a whine as she eased the plug into his tail hole making sure it as nice and snug.   Tracing her finger over a magic rune on the base the plug gently hummed with vibration  the tip would be vibrating and rubbing on his prostate gland  with his ass raised already she gave it a few firm spanks. “ that's a good boy you took that plug without so much as a wiggle of resistance perhaps you are learning already.  Now up ya go “  She hauled him up  and bent him over  adding some hobble chains onto him   just enough that anyone seeing him would see he has a plug in him and from the front that hes erect and needy.  Looping a rope though the rune stone collar she tied it to the pole while she cleaned herself up in front of him to tease him more hearing a whimper and soft moan from him she redressed in clean clothes and a set of leather armor accented with a few metal plates.  “ Time to meet your people dear noble”  She giggled happily as she untied the rope and led him like a pet into the camp people cheering and laughing at him  she did worse though she took him out near the front lines  both her troops and wolves could see  him  nude and erect even with a toy lodged in his rear.   Forcing Talon to kneel in the muck she called out to the wolves who were ready to do battle “ I am Emira the Ice queen.   I do not wish to harm anymore of your people.  Please turn your troops to home as will mine.  Let us set aside arms and work towards a new peace accord one built not only on understanding but mutual respect.  However those of you who do wish to fight I welcome you to fight we at that point will take no prisoners show no mercy. “   She yanked talon  up showing him off again to the wolves.  “ See him....hes one of your Nobles....Talon of Clan Darkclaw.  I have subdued him brutalized him as he did one of my peace negotiators hes been the root of this aggression and I have captured and claimed him as my own slave.  Now Please stand down and go home....we all wish to go home to our families. “   

	Turning on her heel  she pulled talon back to her tent there was no more battle no more war for the mean time.  The wolves returned to their camps offering a cease in hostilities in order to work towards peace.  She took the humiliated Talon back home to her castle locking him up  without bindings except the rune stone collar making sure he was cleaned , dressed in simple clothes and given a full meal.  She met with her advisers and other military troops thanking them for their  continued service and to honor those who died.  She sent condolences and severance pay to families who lost loved ones also ensuring should they need anything they could contact her or Haku in the years to come.  When affairs were done in the next days she visited Talon in the dungeon.  “ I offer you one choice Talon Darkclaw....you can live and repent for what has happened serving your debt of life to me or...I can start cutting you into small bits  slowly over time making you wish I had killed you but never getting it. All talon could do is give her feral growls.  Deciding to leave it to process in his mind she walked out. However he was visited by a still angry Haku who spoke to him.  “ do you want to be stronger...?  “   Talon's ears perked up “stronger?  “  “yes Stronger than you are now...to hold a position of respect and honor....or do you simply want revenge on the person who so easily  routed your troops and had you soundly beaten.? “

	“ take this collar off me and I will soundly make you eat your words Dragon.”  Haku nodded “ it shall be arranged with proper rules if you can follow them “  With that Haku left that evening a more than ample meal was brought to him as was leather armor but no weapons yet.  The next day after time to rest guards collected Talon taking him to a training room for military members to spar Emira was sitting in attendance  with haku who was garbed in leather armor similar to Talon's  Once inside and the guards leaving Emira spoke up first “ this is the deal...If you win over Haku here...I will send you home where you may face humiliation or death at the hands of the wolves you call your people.  Should you loose on the other hand...You WILL submit yourself as a slave to me you WILL learn obedience and perhaps grow to enjoy the benefits of my collar. “   Talon snarled seeing Haku walk out into the sand pit where he was.  “ Terms of combat for Haku and you will be simple.  Haku and you will not fly , Haku will not transform into his larger dragon form.  You both will be able to use your powers is that understood? “  Haku nodded “ I have no objections do you Talon? “  Talon shook his head “ my only thought is what weapons will we use....hand to hand or blades? “ Emira stood carrying  2 short swords  tossing the one at Talon's feet  the other to haku. Gesturing her hand at Talon the rune stone collar  cracked and broke falling to the sand in pieces  immediately Talon felt the surge of his powers return.  

		Emira moved out of the sand and sat down “ Begin! “ Haku ducked down picking up the sword as haku did charging at him swinging a wide high arc Haku easily countered both of them at first dancing back and forth blow upon blow till Talon lashed out trying to throw spikes of Earth up at Haku like spears   haku still angry from what Talon had done to his people upped the ante on him making a wall of ice at first to stop the earth attack leaping up to the top of the wall  her threw the sword down at the wolf who blocked it with a  wall of stone but lost sight of Haku who already was lashing out with a attack of his own raining down flechete needles of ice  as a hailstorm  they did little but distract the wolf as the dragon came down onto him   shoving the wolf into the sand hard he felt the wing joints on his back pop painfully but that soon was drowned out by  ice encased fists on the dragon  trying to pummel his face into a paste Haku's knees firmly held talon down the blows keeping him form summoning up his powers.   “ Enough....Haku stop...”  The words lost as haku continued to beat the defenseless Talon.  The blows stopped when the room grew ice cold Haku's arms stopped moving as Emira threw him to the sand “ I said ENOUGH....the fight is done! “  She glared at haku “  Get up to the harem room NOW! “ Her eyes glowed a angry pale green  as she yelled the room grew far colder.

	Haku got to his feet and strode out calmly.  Emira called out to the guards to get him to a medical room.  She strode out Talon waking hours later in a infirmary bed Emira sitting beside him.  Talon tried to sit up but everything hurt and he was dizzy as he tried to sit up Emira eased him back down.  “ Haku went to far Talon I apoligise for that.”  Talon nodded his head softly trying to lift his arms he stopped once he noticed he was not bound.  “No I don't have you bound in any way.  Even with haku being too rough you still lost to him...So I will assume you will honor the agreement?  “  Talon tried to nod the best he could.  “ I...will do it Emira the Ice Queen “  Emira placed a hand on his shoulder “ Rest you can tell me later when your feeling better.  “    It took Talon several days to be healed when he was escorted to the harem chambers where Emira was waiting.  “ its good to see your healed and feeling better.”  Talon came closer and bowed slowly “ I thought out what you said to me and I have chosen.  “   Nodding softly Emira tossed a silver collar with snowflake motif on it at his feet.

	If you wish to obey me in my harem then you will need to pick that collar up and put it on yourself.  But remember once it locks the only ways it can be removed is by me taking it off or your head be separated from your body.  Before you put it on my rules are simple...you will obey me.  You can question my orders but outright disobedience is a no.  No having sex with anyone unless I allow it...and NO fighting! “ the last rule spoken in Haku's direction of where he sat in his alcove room.  “ Your powers will not be hindered instead I welcome you to use them to assist me and my people.”
	Talon dipped down on one knee picking the collar up “ If I wear this will you show mercy on my people?”  Emira nodded “ Its already in the works to assist your people in recovery from the war and trade. Your people have valuable resources and we will gladly trade with them it will benefit us both. “ Talon nodded opening the collar.  “ Ice Queen I will hold you to honor this as I will honor your wishes. “  With that the Noble wolf closed the collar about his neck the lock sealing in place and with that Talon became the second  slave in the harem of ice.  Emira had dinner sent up and sat with them both eating calmly Talon had a ravenous appetite Their meal went calmly till Emira looked to Haku “ Are you going to behave with Talon here as the second member of the Harem? “  Haku quickly downed some of his wine before offering his reply.  “ If Talon here can follow the rules willingly I will have no problem. “  Emira nodded as they finished their meal she let Talon and Haku go back to their rooms and digest their food. 

	When it was Late Emira poked her head out of her room into the main harem chamber. “ Talon...please come to my room.  “  she ducked back inside When talon came in Emira was already in her bed and beckoned him closer.  “ lets see if you can please me in bed without being so rough. “  Talon climbed slowly up onto the bed shedding the loincloth he was wearing  crawling up to her like a predator would to cornered prey  inhaling her scent.  His hands came to rest on either side of her head  leaning down her breathes softly near her ear  licking across the side of her neck nipping gently  then a little harsher  as she growled softly enjoying it moving over her face her softly leaned in kissing her.  Emira's hands found Talon's shoulders rubbing gently  then moving up to caress his cheeks and up further rubbing at his ears  easing him  back.  As he moved down her body he planted soft kisses and nips at her flesh paying attention to both her breasts  then  down across her stomach till he lifted her legs  gently parting them  letting  her knees bend  and feet rest on his back  driving his tongue against her womanly folds.  Teasing her at first with long slow licks  before  delving with greater intent into her depths grasping her thighs he pulled roughly  raising her  hips higher as he assaulted her  moistening sex paying close attention t her lil nerve bud  till Emira was  giving lil squirms  on the bed.

	Having enough of this foreplay Emira  scooted back and rolled over onto all fours  flicking her tail at him talon needed no words he eased up pressing his rigid shaft to her folds  both hands grasping at her hips she instead of bracing for him to penetrate her shoved herself back forcing talon to sit on his haunches  as she drew herself forward then back  riding the wolf  as his hands  scratched and clawed gently at her back.  Then up to grasp her shoulders trying to gently push her up  and assert control over the rhythm of their lovemaking.  However Emira would have nothing of it  shoving back against him harshly making him utter a groan.  He felt his knot swelling  then ease into Emira locking them together  her  body squeezing down painfully upon his shaft as they both  reached their peak his seed released into her inviting depths Emira's shaky legs  slowly lowered her form to the bed  pulling Talon down softly  over her till he had softened enough to  remove himself from her before laying down next to her.   Easing Emira onto her side he cuddled her  letting them both relax in the afterglow that soon turned to them both easing into a welcome sleep. 

	Talon fell into a easy routine for daily work he didn't like to help clean up as it was low born work but he soon grew to cleaning up at least after himself.  When not doing this he was strength training with some of the guards or sparing with them under the agreement no bad injuries and no powers.  When final peace agreements had come up Emira personally took Talon with her making sure he was dressed nicely looking to him for advice and a driving force to help for peace as he was still a noble.  Talon sat with the envoy from his people their argument got heated to the point talon smashed his fist down between them uttering a single name making the envoy reel in their seat and visibly seem shaken needing a break.  They both eased away from the table to get some air Emira placing a hand on Talon's shoulder “ What was that about?”  Talon smirked to her “ I uttered the name of his relative....one who was forever dishonored and his status as a noble stripped form him as was his wings...by a red hot blade the ultimate dishonor.  Something his family has done its best to bury but not all of it is able to be hidden.”  Emira nodded some “ I don't want a lasting rift between our peoples.  “  Talon  turned to sit back down at the table “ trust me I don't want more dying in a needless war...not like the one I started “  Talon sat down and when the envoy did he firmly started in with the negotiation making his people have to meet half way on things to do all they could to settle affairs when agreements could be made over hours of talking  the official documents were written the envoy moved to sign it and under him Talon signed and sealed his name on it in  his noble blood with Emira signing  and sealing it in blood like Talon did to show she honors their traditions.  Both sides had copies of this pact  to take home and agreements would officially start within the week.    

	In the months to come Talon would travel with guards under Emira's request to check on things most wolves despised his presence seeing him wear a slave collar about his neck but he ignored them.  He had grown in power as well as maturity in most ways under Emira's care.  His loyalty could be questioned at times but if Emira said something needed done as a order it was done.  Emira needing to see her sister Ajani left Talon to keep a eye on things in her absence with the other advisers while she and haku left for a couple weeks.   Very little thankfully happened mainly just meeting a couple times a day with advisers to gather notes and concerns handling what he could the rest to be shelved till Emira returned.   Word arrived before Emira did with some requests Talon saw to the requests  and Emira made it home within a couple hours of that darkness falling  from a window he watched her and talon pull up but a second carriage showed up she had only left with one.  Some aids moved someone or something from that second carriage inside with up most haste.

	Talon turned on his heel  briskly walking down the halls  and down a short flight of stairs to the harem chambers where he saw Emira  with what he could only describe as a snake  and human hybrid....thing.  The snake thing seemed scared of him  and eased away till Emira comforted him.   “ easy Ahri...this is Talon he is a harem member my second he wont harm you in fact he will help you if you need it so please ask him or Haku.  “  the snake thing nodded watching talon as he leaned on a wall arms crossed over his chest.   “ Aye ill help you...Ahri was it? “  Talon pushed off the wall and came over slowly  offering his hand to the snake  looking at him then to Emira who nodded.  Ahri barely grasped his hand   almost limp armed as Talon gave it a couple good shakes   Emira looked to Talon “ We need to keep these rooms warm for him his body cannot survive very cold temps or really hot ones.”  With a smile “ We will keep him comfortable the advisers have only a couple issues put to shelf for your return they can honestly wait a few days for you to get back into the swing of things.”

	That evening the dinner was a hearty one for the travelers return and meant a good time to Ahri to get used to Talon and how dinners were here at his new home.  When it was done Emira  had the plates sent away.  Both Haku and Talon knew she would share her room with Ahri to help him settle so the both of them relaxed in their own way Haku of course studying his books like a hermit Talon spent the eve lounging in the common room with a drink before heading to his bed.  Talon during the day when he wasn't busy helped the newcomer learn his way around and it was nice having someone newer than him that was eager to help clean up so he didn't have to.  Talon learned not only was this thing named Ahri but he was a Naga part snake and part human.  He was born or rather hatched and raised since day one as a slave.  It was a calm afternoon when there was a commotion in the castle Talon met up with Haku seeing some commotion going on “ whats up Haku? “  The dragon nodded his head towards a newcomer with Emira while he leaned on a wall. leaned on a wall “ That bound one is Kengi we hired him in the war with your people to do guerrilla fighting.  Seems he dissipated during the war and has now surfaced.  Emira has been on the lookout for him to be arrested for war crimes...We know he betrayed us killing our forces , stealing supplies , even selling troops he subdued to slavers and your kind.”

	Talon cocked his head to the side.  “ I've seen him before...we hired him to kill your officers and spoil food supplies with poisons to weaken you but he instead killed non combat civilians you know women and pups or sold them off as slaves....Seems he played us both when he betrayed us we made it known he comes into our lands  his head would be removed and put on public display as a warning to others.”  Haku nodded “ seems that he was on the run and life had caught up with him.”  Emira had her hands on her hips a snarl to her face before she yelled at him to be put in the dungeon to face trial for war crimes.  “ Well that's that Talon “  Haku  pushed off the wall and headed over to Emira when she motioned him close speaking privately with him. 

	Talon shook his head as a loose end of the war he started now would face trial as he wandered back down the halls to a small alcove  sitting on a bench looking outside  and up at the mountains  lost in thought how so he honestly changed a lot with actions he made lingering doubts of what could have happened should he had made other choices but doing so would have made him a weak leader and led to his removal like he did for his own father.  Shaking his head he couldn't change the past what was done is done and he will carry that weight and move on.  Talon stood and wandered down the hall  distracting himself.  Several days passed and when dinner had ended Talon was sitting in his room preening his wings  when Emira called for them when he walked out of his alcove room he met up with Haku and Ahri who were already out of their rooms.

	 Finding Emira garbed in tight leather with Kengi who was looked like he had been put though a milling wheel  a few times.  Talon picked up the scent first washing off him and smirked knowing now what Emira had done to him too.  Emira spoke up “this is Kengi...the new member of the harem.  Help him settle in and learn his place first hes to rest after his rigorous 'introduction' to life here. “  Talon smirked while Haku and Ahri paid attention  waiting for her to be done.  “ Kengi...Ill start off introducing you to the others starting with my first Haku”  Haku nodded a simple welcome “ next is Talon “  The smirking wolf  crossed his arms over his sculpted chest “ we've met striped cat “  Kengi nodded slowly  as Emira gestured to Ahri “ and this is Ahri hes very shy but don't let that stop you guys from talking.  Now I've explained the rules to Kengi here show him to a room and let him rest. “  Talon and Ahri wandered back to their rooms when Emira walked out leaving Haku to show kengi to a room.  “ So...your the 4th to our little group.  Ill tell you flat out as I had to be rough with Talon...even think of betraying any of us again and there wont be enough of you left to identify you.  Am I understood kengi”  The hybrid feline nodded “ I just want to lay down and rest I'm...kinda worn out”  with that he crashed on the bed in his new alcove room and was soon asleep.  Talon Smirked back in his room the scent was that of seamen apparently Emira has done quite the number on him  a spark of thought crossed his mind reminding him of having feathers torn out then the oral and anal rape Emira did to him...he hated her at the time wanted to tear her ice heart out with his bare claws  but now after this time he knew he honestly deserved it for what he did to that girl.  

	In time another had come into the harem Emira calling Talon in with the others speaking to them all with a snow leopard male  “Everyone...this is Shard.  He will be joining us as of today so please welcome and help him adjust.  Haku he needs your fine lesson plans to learn of this land and history can you spare some time in the evenings to assist him?”  Haku nodded his head “ If I can teach Ahri here to have excellent penmanship and reading skills I'm sure Shard here will be no problem.” talon watched as Shard was given a new room he was a bit more confident than Ahri is.  Talon could tell there was blood on this guys soul he had done something rather wicked at some point but his personality didn't reflect it and something about that struck Talon as very odd but couldn't place his finger on it perhaps Emira had brainwashed him if that's the case why not do it to him or Ahri when shes being too timid.  Shrugging it off he would find out when Emira let him know for now there was another to get settled.

	A few months later late into the summer season Emira had gone out on her own to get some air she returned some of the guards were taken to the infirmary  and guards brought a white  kitsune up to the harem chambers informing talon , kengi and Ahri that he can take almost any person's form and to be careful of it he had 9 tails tipped in black and a few black markings to him otherwise shock white.  Talon had herd about kitsune before they were to not be trusted they would trick you and steal from you even if it meant stealing your very soul.  This kitsune was dirty  and looked like he had played tricks on the wrong person. “ lets get you settled in since your going to live here I am Talon the others will introduce themselves to you but that will be your room.  The rules are simple.  Obey , don't have sex with someone unless Emira says you can and help out around here.  I'm gonna guess knowing what you are your gonna get a few extra rules on you.”  The kitsune smirked some “ I am Haruka and we shall see what Emira says Talon. “    Haku come walking in and saw the kitsune he was visibly surprised something odd for the calm and collected person that is Haku. Talon tapped Haku on his shoulder “ That's Haruka....we all are warned already he can change his appearance to others even if its a woman. Apparently he thought playing tricks with magics was a good idea using Mistress Emi as a practice dummy...a couple guards injured but are ok and Emira beat him took something call a soul orb from him and its forcing his compliance hes already settled in just being pissed off that he lost...kinda like the rest of us were.”

 Months seemed to slip by each member of the harem was easing into their daily routines the only really troublesome thing is Haruka trying to play tricks on the others Haku included however Emira saw to those problems and discipline in a sense was administered first by Kengi and Talon.  Haruka had changed forms to Emira and tried to trick him.  Haruka didn't expect the outcome being in a female form Talon could tell by scent it was not Emira and her actions and words didn't match what Emira would do.  Talon grasped the kitsune tossing him onto his back  on the bed and decided to teach him a lesson for being in a female form especially Emira's.  Talon growled with lust  pulling his leather pants off and mounted the kitsune  roughly fucking him.  Talon smirked pulling himself free of the well fucked kitsune  shifted into Emira's form “ that will teach you to do something foolish like that kitsune next time ill pick another hole and be rougher.”  Talon let Emira know of it so he could be punished with the kitsune however Emira didn't punish him to his surprise.   The games continued so punishments came from Emira  yet the kitsune continued the silly games on guards or others.  The winter set in and   winter eve party had been planned by Emira and others.  With all of the harem and Emira with her siblings.  Everyone was instructed to dress nicely.  When they were all dressed nice for Emira to inspect she gave them the news “ I intend to split up this harem...I cannot in good faith look after all of you and dedicate the proper time and attention to all your needs. So I gathered my siblings here for you all to meet with them and introduce yourselves eat and have a good time.”  Ahri hung his head low slinking back some looking hurt.  Talon wondered how this would affect them would he be sent back to his people that could mean a death sentence but such is fate.  
	Talon  wandered out and down to the party putting a smile to his face when he saw several women for this to be a private party each one exhibited a aura of power like Emira stronger than others he had ever seen with Emira being the exception he could only guess they were her siblings he had herd rumors of.  Sitting down for a meal and some good wine he drank heavily striking up conversation with a large puma girl she was as much a warrior as he was  her size dwarfed him due to him needing to be smaller and more wiry muscled for flight  not a hulking tank of a person like this puma is.  Her name Ajala.  She had the same powers as he did so naturally Talon had to show being noble he was the better of the two competing with her not only in drinking but soon to follow arm wrestling  with Ajala easily beating him.  Being mostly drunk on the wine  he  patted the puma across the back  heavily grabbing a fresh decanter of wine to drink.  Ajala smirked as she had this planed all along  taking hold of the wolf and going to a side room  she helped him down the wine  before roughly kissing the wolf her pheromones kicked into high gear.  
	In the side room Ajala helped talon out of his clothes and she shed her own quickly  mutually they were ready to fool around  expecting to top over her he was surprised when the large female had him lay down and she straddled his hips  purring deeply as she engulfed his shaft her large paws  rubbing and raking claw tips though Talon's fur.  Talons own hands grasped her  firm posterior  digging his claws in a little  as she road him roughly.  It was in the middle of this  romp talon felt the collar about his neck release and fall off t his surprise.  

	Ajala shoved the collar aside and roughly pulled Talon's head up locking a similar one around his neck with her personal mark on it. “ your....MINE “  she smiled with unbridled lust as she rode him harder enjoying the swell of his knot that locked him inside her as he came  her own orgazam kicked in  her body clenching down  much like her claws were digging roughly into his shoulders  both of them panting for breath and very much enjoying  this as it will lead to a new life together for them.
