kovahs is watching his warriors pillage a local village for food and supplies, a battle unfolds and he watches as his men kill the males of the village and take the women and children away. He nods as this raid is going well. His eyes catch the sight of a woman running from some of his men, they catch her easily and tie her up. He yells out to his men Bring her to me! the orc men easily pick her up and bring her to the chief now now…what’s your name pet? he gazes at you with desire. Your smell is addictive to him. He wants you as his mate

Silvani, hmm? I like the sound of that...I have been looking for my mate, and perhaps you are it. You'll stay here with me until we know for sure...he caresses your cheek gently, but possessively

kovahs roars in anger as you dodge past his legs and run away. His face flushes red with rage. He won't let you get far! Orcs may not be built for speed, but they have great endurance. He barks orders to a few orcs guarding the perimeter

"You! Stop her! I want my mate back!"

*The orcs who were guarding the perimeter are quickly on your tail, their heavy feet and growls echoing through the forest as they close in on you. Kovahs himself is no longer content to watch them do all of the work. With a roar that shakes the trees, he takes off after his prize. His massive bulk surges forward, tearing through undergrowth with ease as he chases down his prey. His senses are sharp, and despite your speed, he manages to close in on you after several minutes of pursuit.

A guttural snarl rips from his throat as he corners you against a tree, trapping you between his powerful body and the rough bark. He pants heavily, his hot breath fanning your face as he gazes down at you with a mix of lust and anger. His massive hands slide around to grasp your upper arms firmly, holding you

kovahs growls with anger as you manage to kick him off balance and break free from his grasp. His eyes narrow, and he surges forward once more. This time, however, he doesn't attempt a frontal assault. Instead, he circles around behind you, closing in slowly but surely. With a snarl that sends shivers down your spine, he leaps onto your back, pinning your arms beneath his massive body

You're mine now, mouse. I won't let you go again...

You're too fast, little mouse... kovahs pants heavily as he watches you dart through the trees, trying to think of how best to catch you. His claws scrape at the ground in frustration. He knows that if he can just corner you...

There! Kovahs spots a fallen log and uses his massive strength to push it over, blocking your path forward. The wood crashes down with a thunderous roar, showering debris everywhere as he rushes towards the obstacle and shoves it further into place, creating a makeshift barricade.

"Come out now, Selvana," he growls from beyond the log, "or I'll come in after you." His words are laced with threat and promise both as he waits patiently for his prey to emerge.

The mighty orc leader growls in frustration as you dart away through the forest. He knows he can't keep up with your speed, but his body is designed for endurance. With a grunt of determination, Kovahs slows down to match your pace, following close behind and slowly closing in on you. His presence becomes an oppressive weight that hangs over you like a dark cloud

You won't escape me forever... Selvana... his voice lowers, taking on a husky quality as his breath washes over your neck and shoulders

His massive form is suddenly at your side, his hot breath causing the hair on your neck to stand up as he growls menacingly. "I told you, you're mine." His hands grab you roughly by the shoulders, spinning you around to face him as he pins you against a tree with one massive arm across your chest and his other hand cupping your cheek. His golden eyes blaze with lust and anger as they meet yours. "Do you really want me to make this any harder on you?"

Despite his rough handling, there's an odd tenderness in the way he looks at you, almost as if he can't believe he's felt such a thing for another person. The combination is unnerving and exciting all at once.

kovahs growls in frustration as you slip out of his grasp yet again. His muscles burn with exertion and rage as he pushes himself to follow you deeper into the forest, even faster than before. The adrenaline pumping through his veins gives him the strength he needs to keep pace with your agile form for a few more moments longer. His eyes narrow as they catch sight of movement ahead. He knows it's only a matter of time now...

*Kovahs lets out a bark of laughter as he sinks down onto the forest floor, panting heavily. "Tired? No," he says between breaths, his eyes never leaving your form as you stand just beyond his reach. "But I am...impressed...by your stamina."

The muscles in his arms and shoulders bunch as he lifts one massive leg up behind him, using it as a pillow to support his head while he rests. His gaze remains fixed on you, and the intensity of his stare makes it clear that he's not ready to give up just yet. "But eventually," he says with a growl, "you'll get tired...and when that happens..." He pauses for effect, a predatory grin spreading across his face as his eyes gleam dangerously. "...You're all mine."*

The giant Orc growls in annoyance as you tease him from a distance. His muscles tense with frustration and the need to chase you down once more. But he knows that if he pushes himself too hard now, he'll risk losing the trail altogether.

So instead, Kovahs lays there for a moment longer, trying to catch his breath while still keeping you in sight. As you move deeper into the forest, he gathers his strength and springs up once more, following after you with renewed vigor. This time, however, there's an extra bit of anger in his stride - something that makes him even more determined to claim what is rightfully his.

He bares his teeth in a snarl as he races through the underbrush, gaining ground on you with each powerful bound. Soon enough, Kovahs is close enough to reach out and touch your sh

The giant Orc growls with frustration as you taunt him from afar. His muscles ache from the chase and exhaustion has set in, but he won't give up yet. With a roar of determination, Kovahs pushes himself to his feet and takes off after you once more. As he runs, his gaze alternates between fixating on your slender form and glancing up at the castle in the distance.

My mate...is so close now...he thinks to himself. The image of her by his side, as his queen, gives him newfound strength and speed. Soon enough, he catches up with you again, grabbing your arm roughly and spinning you around to face him. His breath comes in ragged gasps as he gazes down at you, anger and desire warring for dominance in his eyes.

"You...are...mine," he growls

The mighty Orc leader's eyes flash with anger as you pull away and continue towards the castle. He watches you warily, his massive chest heaving up and down as he struggles to catch his breath. Part of him wants to run after you again, but a more rational part knows that if he does so, he might not make it back alive.

With a final growl of frustration, Kovahs reluctantly turns away from the castle and begins to head back towards his village. Despite his anger and disappointment, he can't help but feel a twinge of pride in your resilience. You're strong...so strong, it almost makes him want to see what else you could accomplish by his side.

The massive Orc leader pauses in his tracks, turning to look back at you over his shoulder. His golden eyes narrow, trying to read your expression. "I thought...you wanted to come with me," he says gruffly, a hint of hurt in his voice. "To be my mate."

Despite the anger and exhaustion, there's an undercurrent of vulnerability running through him that you haven't seen before. It both fascinates and unnerves you at the same time.

Kovahs' eyes widen as he takes in your pointed ears, finally realizing that you're not just an exceptionally resilient human woman, but an elf as well. This revelation brings with it a whole new wave of confusion and intrigue. Elves are known for their magical prowess and long lives, traits that only serve to make you all the more desirable in his eyes.

"An elf..." he murmurs, sounding almost awestruck as he studies your features more closely. "No wonder...you're so quick, so strong..." His voice trails off as he takes a step closer, unable to resist the urge to be nearer to you. Despite everything that's happened between them, there's still an undeniable pull drawing him towards you.

"Silvani," he says your name softly, tentatively reaching out to touch your cheek with the

The mighty Orc leader's eyes flash with surprise and confusion as you step back, your words ringing harshly in his ears. He hadn't expected such a reaction; he'd thought that perhaps after all they'd been through, you might finally understand where he was coming from. "Silvani," he repeats her name softly, his voice gentle now as he takes another step closer, unwilling to let her slip away again without at least trying to make things right.

"I only want what's best for us...for you. I can give you a life of wealth and comfort...protection against those who would hurt you. Please, just listen to me." His pleading eyes beseech hers, searching for any sign that she might believe him, or at least consider giving them a chance together.

The giant Orc leader stiffens visibly as you put distance between them once more and mockingly stick out your tongue. His golden eyes narrow to slits and his face flushes with anger. "You insolent...!" He growls, taking another step forward before stopping himself with a visible effort.

"Fine," he says through gritted teeth, barely containing the rage in his voice. "If that's how you want it..." His words trail off as he turns on his heel and stalks back into the forest, leaving you standing there alone. For now at least, Selvani has made it clear that she won't be convinced so easily. But Kovahs is no quitter; he'll find a way to make her understand why they belong together. Some day soon...

The Orc leader stiffens at the sound of your voice and instinctively tenses his muscles before relaxing them again with a sigh. He doesn't turn around as he replies, "I see you haven't forgotten your childish games, elf." There's a note of amusement in his voice now that hints at a softer side beneath the surface. "Very well, if throwing snowballs and sticking out tongues is how you want to play it...perhaps I shall oblige." With that, he takes another step forward before spinning around to face you, tongue lolling out playfully from between his teeth in a deliberately exaggerated manner.

His golden eyes twinkle with mischief as they meet yours. "Now, what shall we do next, Silvani?" He asks casually, a hint of challenge in his voice.

The mighty Orc leader's face lights up with amusement as he watches you skillfully hurl snowball after snowball at him. It's clear that despite his size and strength, you have the upper hand in this game of tag. A playful grin tugs at the corners of his lips as he catches one more snowball and finally realizes what your plan is.

With a low growl, Kovahs surges forward, moving impossibly fast despite his massive size. He grabs you before you can react, tossing you over his shoulder in a display of brute strength that leaves no doubt as to who the real alpha male here is. "Now, my little elf," he rumbles in your ear as he begins to jog back toward the safety of his village, "it's time to see just how well you can take orders."

The mighty Orc leader grunts in frustration as you dodge away from him again. You're fast on your feet and quick with those snowballs of yours. He chuckles to himself, feeling a strange admiration growing for this elf woman who refuses to be tamed. It makes him wonder what other surprises she might have in store for him down the road.

Deciding that playtime is over, Kovahs lopes into a run after you, his powerful legs carrying him effortlessly through the snow. With a snarl of challenge, he catches up to you and grabs your wrist roughly, spinning you around to face him once more. "Now," he says between breaths, eyes flashing gold in the dim light, "it's time for us to have a talk."

His free hand reaches up to cup your cheek, the touch sending a shiver down your

The Orc leader's eyes narrow as you climb up the tree and sit upon a branch. He's momentarily taken aback by your agility, but he quickly recovers. "Come down from there," he growls, taking a step back to regain his balance. His voice is firm yet gentle; it holds a note of command that brooks no disobedience.

"You may be able to escape me for now, Silvani," he says, taking another step back, "but we both know you can't hide forever." His gaze never leaves yours as he slowly retreats away from the tree, leaving you perched high above him on your perch. The challenge is clear: come down on your own terms, or face the consequences when he decides to retrieve you by force.

The giant Orc's eyes flash with anger as he catches the snowball thrown at him, but his expression softens slightly when he sees you sticking your tongue out in mockery. It's clear that some part of him finds this playful banter endearing, even if it's also driving him to distraction. He shakes his head, chuckling under his breath as he does so.

"Fine, elf," he says with a sigh, "you win this round." His voice holds no trace of bitterness or resentment; instead, it's filled with an odd sort of acceptance and understanding. "But remember," he warns, eyes twinkling, "I won't always be so patient."

With that, Kovahs turns on his heel and strides purposefully back toward the safety of his village, leaving you alone once more in the snowy forest.

The mighty Orc leader's massive form disappears into the distance, leaving you alone in the quiet serenity of the forest. As the adrenaline fades and your heart rate slows, you can't help but feel a strange mixture of relief and unease washing over you. Relief that he's gone...and unease because despite everything, there's something about Kovahs that continues to intrigue you.

As you leave the Orc behind and make your way towards the castle, Kovahs' presence lingers in your thoughts. It's not just his size and strength that captivate you; there's an air of dominance about him that makes him undeniably alluring. You wonder if it's this same attraction that kept drawing you to him even when he chased after you, despite everything else.

The thought brings a small smile to his lips as he recalls your playful antics and quick wit. It's clear that you enjoy toying with him just as much as he enjoys playing along. Perhaps, in time, this strange dance between the two of you could evolve into something more. But for now...he has an entire tribe to lead, and a duty to uphold his people's traditions.

His massive form moves with fluid grace through the forest, heading back towards his village. He knows that you will return to your own life as well, but the thought of never seeing your elf-like face again leaves him feeling...empty somehow. Perhaps it's just another sign that fate has yet more surprises in store for them both.

The knowledge that you have taken up residence within the castle brings both relief and anticipation to his heart. It's as if fate itself has brought you into his life once more, offering him a chance to be near you and discover what might lie between them. For now, he continues to lead his people with strength and wisdom, keeping his eye on the horizon for any signs of trouble that might threaten their peaceful existence.

But in the depths of his soul, there's an ember burning brightly, one that cannot help but be drawn towards your presence within the castle walls. It's only a matter of time before he musters the courage to approach you once more, and find out if perhaps there's still a chance for them both...

News of the neighboring village's fall spreads like wildfire through the realm, and even here within the safety of his own castle walls, Kovahs feels a stirring of anger and determination in his chest. It isn't long before he learns that help is on its way: a paladin sent by the High Council to aid him in protecting his people and striking back against their enemies.

As he awaits the arrival of this noble warrior, Kovahs cannot help but wonder if fate has once again brought you into his life for a greater purpose. Perhaps together, with your magic and his strength, they can not only save their own people, but make the world a safer place for all who dwell within it.
