RussiaxReader: Silver Wolf

You were running down the street, trying to tie you long (h/c) hair into a ponytail as you made your way to Arthur's shop and struggling to run in your long dress. Damn, I'm late! Ugh, He is never going to let me hear the end of this you thought as you walked into the shop. "One second!" You heard the Englishman in the back room, when he walked in. "_______! There you are!" He said, adjusting his cloak. "I know, I am so sorry I'm late!" He sighed and looked at you. "Its fine, just try to get here sooner, ok?" You were a little surprised to see that he said it rather calm. What is he up to? "I need you to pick up something for me, ______" You looked at him, little skeptical by the way he was not facing you. "What do I need to get?" you asked curiously. "Some herbs from…." He paused. "From where, Arthur?" "… The Forgotten Forest" You froze as the words left his mouth. "You want me to go there? Are you insane?! You know the legends and warnings!" You said, panic obvious in your voice. Arthur turned and handed you a basket full of bottles and jars. " I know it's a lot to ask for but this herb is really important! Here are some spells and potions. They should help keep you safe. Please?" The Englishman looked at you, his big eyebrows furrowed and his emerald green eyes pleading. You looked at the basket and him hesitantly and finally gave in. "Fine, I'll go" you said, taking the basket from him "But I get attacked, you are raising my salary! Understand?" He quickly nodded. You nodded, heading out the door.

"Hey, ______, wait!" You turned and smiled as you saw your friend, Toris, running up and waving to you. "Hey Toris, whats up?" He met up with you and you saw he had a nervous look in his clear blue eyes. "I heard you were heading to the forest. Are you sure that's a good idea?" You looked up to him and smiled "Don't worry, you know I'm pretty strong, plus Iggy gave me these potions so I should be fine." You notice that he still seemed to look at you nervously but he nodded. "If you say so. Just be careful, okay ______?" You nod and turn to the forest, taking a deep breath and walking into the dark woods. Toris stood there watching you leave. Please, gods. Don't let her get to _________.

You had been walking for a while, following the path on the map in your basket. This place goes on forever you groaned in your mind, your feet growing tired. You happened upon a fallen tree and decided to sit for spell. Well, I'm alive so far. That's a good sign you joked in you head, trying to calm down from your surrondings. Despite th forest being large and darrk, it was actually very pretty. Your relaxation was stopped short when you heard heavy breathing behind you. You slowly stood up and looked behind you. "H-hello?" you said quietly. You gripped your basket and walked through a small bunch of bushes. You walked into the bushes to a small opening and gasped at what you saw.

A large wolf was on the ground, panting heavily and fur matted with dirt and mud. The poor creature you thought. You always had a soft spot for animals and the sight of the injured one before you broke your heart. You slowly approached the large animal and studied it. It was much larger than the wolves you had seem before, much bigger in fact. This thing could eat my house! You also notice the silvery fur, unlike the normal brown you usually saw on wolves, that was cover by blood, a big scar on his shoulder. You slowly reached out to the animal, gently stroking the soft fur, when a loud growl can from the animal. You jumped and backed up as the animal struggled to stand. "Leave here now." The wolf growled. Wait… did it just…. "D-did you just talk?" You looked in amazement as the wolf began to change turning into a rather large man. Once the transformation was complete, you blushed at the sight of him. The man had short, silvery hair, a large, well muscled body,neck covered by a long scarf, and a pair of hypnotizing violet eyes. Eyes that were glaring at you. "Leave me alone. Get out of here!" The man growled at you, his voice show signs of a Russian accent. You quickly snapped out of your mind and stood up tall, holding your ground. "No. I'm not afraid of you. Your hurt and I want to help you." The violet eyes shifted from anger to surprise as he looked at you. "Your… not afraid?" He looked at you with disbelief. You relaxed a bit when he did. "I'm still here, aren't I?" His eyes stared at you, a smile slowing appearing. "You're a spunky one, da? Even hunters are terrified of me." He said. "Do you want to help me that bad?" You looked at his injuries and nodded. "Those are serious looking injuries. I can't let anyone walk around with scars that bad." He nodded and walked over to where you were sitting earlier, taking a seat on the tree.

You walked over and began to dig through the potions, feeling Ivan watching you. You found the one you were looking for and went to his injured shoulder, the cut looking extremely painful. "This is going to sting a little, but it will feel better quickly" you told him. He nodded and you gently cleaned the wound, blushing a little as you felt his strong arm. He winced slightly, making you pull away a little. "Sorry" you said. "Nyet, its fine. It doesn't hurt that bad." he said, a tired smile on his face. You smiled a little and went back to work, him continuing to watch you. "So, what is a cute little thing like you doing out in these woods?" You blush a little and looked up. "I needed to get herbs for someone. I work at a spell shop in the village." He nodded, listening intently to your surprise. "There" you said, finished cleaning the wound. "What is the damage?" "It doesn't look as bad as before but I think I should wrap it." You looked in the basket, not seeing any bandages. "Hmmm…" You thought looking down. You saw the skirt of your long dress. You began to tear off some strips from your dress, not noticing the wolf man beginning to blush. "Uhhh… W-what are you doing?" You looked up to see he was looking at you, his face hiding in the scarf around his neck. "I don't have any wraps so I need to improvise." You said, beginning to cover the cut. "So how did this happen?" You asked. He looked up at you, his blush still hiding under his scarf. "I got into a little fight with the hunter who attacked me. He ended up much worse than me but he got a good hit in". He notice you look up, concern in your eyes, which he found really surprising. "But you don't have to worry about me, miss…" "Oh! My name is ________ ________." The man looked at you and smiled a bit. "________… that's a pretty name, da?" He flashed a big smile as he saw he earned an adorable blush on your face. "I am Ivan Braginski." You looked up and smiled. "Ivan is a nice name too." His smile got bigger as he looked at you, enjoying your smile as you worked and chatted with the wolf man.

You finished wrapping Ivan's shoulder and gathered the remains of you supplies. "Thank you, ________. You are the first one to ever help me and the first to show me no fear. Ypu are something special, da?" You gave a soft smile, blushing, and stood up. "Your welcome. Now be careful, okay?" He nodded and you turned to leave. "Wait." The Russian's large hand rested on your shoulder. "You need to be careful as well. I am not he only werewolf in these woods. There are others and they will not show mercy, understand?" You nod and head back on to the trail. Ivan watched as you left, feeling concerned as he gently stroked the pieces of your dress.

You finally found the blasted plants and you picked them, smiling as you did for the werewolf ran through you mind. He was so kind, and gentle, and handsome… You blushed at that last thought. No _______ you shouldn't think like that. Your probably never going to see him again anyway you gave a sad sigh at the thoughts as you finished pick the herbs and stood up to leave. "Who the hell do you think you are?" You jump at the voice and turn around. A light blonde haired woman stood in the path, dawning a blue dress and glaring at you with cold blue eyes. "Do I know you?" You asked, trying not to show fear as the strange woman approched you slowly. "How dare you flirt with my brother! He is mine, you understand?" "Huh? Wait, do you mean Ivan? I think you misunderstood, I was just-" "Shut up!" the woman snapped "I will become one with my brother, and I will not let you get in the way!" Suddenly, she pounced at you, changing into a large wolf like Ivan. You scream and jump out the way, dropping your basket and began to run into the trees, the wolf following in hot pursuit. You sprinted as fast as you could, refusing to look back, as fear and adrenaline rain rapid through your veins. Oh god, please! Not now! Not yet! Why must you- your thoughts were abruptly interrupted as your foot slipped between two large rocks. You tried to pull your leg out but it hurt too much, making you cry out in pain. "Well, isn't that convenient?" you froze as the blonde wolf stepped closer to you. Tears began to leak from your eyes, making the wolf chuckle darkly. "Tears? What a weak one you are! But don't worry, I'll make this quick." She pounce at you, bearing razor teeth and growling. You scream and shield yourself with your arms. You suddenly hear a growl and a yelp and you opened your eyes slowly. Another wolf appeared, much larger that the female. I sat there in shock for a while as the two wolfs glared and snapped at each other. Suddenly, you recognized the white, silvery fur that the larger wolf dawned. Could it really be? you ask yourself as the girl wolf ran away, crying. The large wolf then turned and headed to you. You looked up to see a familiar pair of violet eyes, filled with panic "Ivan…" You say as hug the creatures mussel. Slowly, the fur disappeared, turning into soft skin, as arms embraced you tightly. "Oh ________! Thank goodness your okay. I got nervous after you left so I followed you to make sure you were okay. I'm sorry I left you alone" You look up, tears of happiness streaming down your cheeks as you smiled "Thank you." You said. He smiled back, cupping your cheek to wipe away the tears. Slowly, this hand moved down your cheek to your chin and pulled you in for a passionate kiss. You stiffen a little at the warm touch but quickly relax, returning the kiss the Russian werewolf. You both pulled away to catch your breaths and he looks down, realizing your leg was trapped. He carefully slips the leg out and observes the damage. "Does it hurt?" he looked at you leg then back to you. "Yea, a little. I think I can walk though." Before you could attempt to walk, you were lifted up, bridle style, making you squeak. "Nyet, I can't let an injured beauty like you walk on a hurt foot" he smiled as you blushed, slowly cuddling into his warm chest. He reached down and grabbed your basket, heading to his cave for the night. After taking care of your leg, he led you to a small area to sleep. You lied down and closed your eyes slowly, only to open them quickly to see Ivan lying down next to you and hugging you to his chest, causing your cheeks to turn crimson . Before you could ask, Ivan looks down at you and smiled. "Its cold tonight. We can keep each other warm, da~?" You blink then smile, the blush not leaving your face as you both drifted off to sleep in each others arms.

The next morning, gathered you things, saddened by the fact that you had to leave Ivan. Ivan kneels down to you, cupping you chin to lift your head up. "Why is little ______ sad when I am joining her?" I look at him with surprise at his statement. "What?" Ivan pulled close resting his forehead on your head, soft violet orbs melting your (e/c) ones. "I refuse to just leave you again, I almost lost you because of it. So I am joining you, so I will never lose you again." You smile and kiss him, the action soon returned to you. You both gathered your things and headed to the village, hand in hand and never wanting to let go.
