Thrown for a Curve

John's POV

 

I wake up in the morning between my lovely girls. I'm curled around Hermione and I can feel her bare skin pressing up against me, her bushy hair even more messy than usual. Padma is behind her and I can feel Jess behind me with Parvati behind her. Ah, the blessings of having mates that get along with each other. They rarely (if ever) fought with each other, a fact that would soon change with the addition of my next mate. Just being around Draco has shown me that Slytherin submissives are very prissy, and you can't get much more submissive than a male sub vampire. They give banshees a run for their money, if the rumors I'd heard were true. It would be very difficult to get some peace once all of my mates were assembled, and 85% of the trouble would be their fault.

 

I hated to disturb my mates, but Hermione is sleeping on my arm and it's very numb. As I shift in bed she starts to stir along with the others. Her beautiful brown eyes fluttered open and she smiles at me. "Hey John..."

Even half asleep she looked absolutely gorgeous. "Morning Lovergirl. Mind if I get my arm back now?" She started to get up and I was able to move my arm again. The two of us head for the shower while Jess and Parvati are moving closer to Padma on the bed. "Up, you two. You know we have class. And Jess, make sure your up in time. If I hear from Professor Riddle-Black that you were late again I'm going to have to punish you."

She giggled slightly. "All right. See you later..."

 ___________________________________________________________________________________________

After the shower the five of us make it down to the great hall for some breakfast before our first class, Creature Inheritance with Professor Malfoy. Tia looks much better now that her mates have appeared to sort something out. Of course, Draco was still being Draco, clingy as ever, and I sigh internally, wondering if that was the kind of behavior I have to look forward to with Ash. The two of us didn't talk, sitting at different tables, but she keeps eye-gesturing to Ash the whole time, silently daring me to make a move. I glare at her, hoping she gets the message that I will talk to him when I am good and damn ready, but she just sticks her tongue out at me. As soon as we are done eating I decide I have put it off for long enough and make my way over to the Slytherin table. As I approach Ash he seems to sense me and turns to look at me just before I get to the table. His face is already flushed like he knows what I am about to do. Instead of embarrassing him I motion with my finger for him to follow me. The two of us walk out of the great hall and into an empty classroom. His face was so pretty for a guy, it almost looked like a girl's face but with shorter hair and a more pronounced chin. I open my mouth to speak but he interrupts me.

"Look, John, I know what you want, and I know you're my Dom, but I don't know if you know that, or even want me as a sub, you have so many beautiful female mates and I know that you probably aren't even into guys-" That's where I cut him off.

"Good subs know when to be quiet, Ash. If I didn't want you I wouldn't have brought you here. Now relax already. You're going to give yourself an ulcer." At that he smiles probably the biggest smile I've seen outside of Hermione in her Werewolf form. I pull him to me and we kiss, hard, passionately. This was just too easy. I break the kiss. "If we're going to do this now it has to be fast. Get down on your knees." He does exactly as he is told and I free my cock as I change into my true form. He marvels at my scaly body before I guide his head to my maleness. He changes quickly and I see nothing but beauty in his pale grey body. It has almost womanly curves and his ears are large and pointed. His nose is turned up slightly, but not enough to disfigure his face and his eyes are almost glowing yellow. He still has his gorgeous short blonde hair, and I grab hold of it as he gets to work. His tongue is almost magic and I am in heaven until I remember what Tia said about feeding. I quickly withdraw from his mouth just before he has the chance to deep throat me and look into his beautiful formerly green eyes. "No feeding on me yet, after we finish. Just get me wet so I can enter you." He nods and swallows my dick again, and I almost feel bad for the fact that I'm denying him my blood. Soon enough I tell him to stand up and face the wall, but not before I kiss him again. He just looks so beautiful I can't help it. I push into his arse slowly at first, letting him get used to my size. It's very tight, but not as tight as Jess was her first time we tried anal. "You've done this before." I state it more than ask him.

"A few times, my Dominant. I'm sorry."

I grunt as he squeezes around my cock, making it throb with pleasure. "Don't be. It probably hurt your first time, and I don't want our first time to be TOO painful" I say as I withdraw almost all of the way out. I pump back in and we soon get a rhythm going. He's moaning like my girls do when they want more and I happily oblige him and start stroking his cock as I pound him. Not long after he shoots his load all over the floor and clenches his arse, sending me over the edge. I bite down on his neck just hard enough to leave a mark as I cum inside his tight arse and our first time is complete.

___________________________________________________________________________________________

 Ash and I hurriedly clean up and I let him feed from my shoulder, as the marks on my neck would draw far too many questions that I really do not feel like answering right now. He is now acting very submissive, and doesn't want to leave me to go to his classes, which we will both miss if we do not hurry.

"Please, Dominant, don't leave me just yet..." If this is going to work at all I have got to be fairly aggressive to him to get my point across.

"Stop it, Ash. We both have things to do. After our classes we can meet up here and I will show you our room, but for now go to class." He hesitates. "NOW." I am trying to be firm without drawing attention to the classroom. Last thing I need is Headmistress McGonagall getting mad at me for having sex in a classroom.

He lowers his head and starts towards the door. I want to comfort him, but I absolutely need him to think I am angry with him and he will behave himself. He walks out of the classroom first and blends into the crowd of students. I walk out of the classroom to see Tia with her arms crossed and a smirk on her face. I really don't want to deal with this right now. "Shut up."

Her smirk turns into a full-fledged smile. "I didn't say anything."

"You wanted to. I could see it on your face. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm running late."

"Gee, I wonder why?"

"Shut up." She laughs lightly shaking her head.

“Walk me to class?” and offer her my arm with a long suffering sigh, which she takes happily and we hurry off to our class and make it just in time. Padma is sitting in her usual spot so I leave Tia to go to Draco and slip in right next to her and kiss her cheek. For the whole class we take every chance to hold hands while we aren't taking notes. Afterwards I stay behind to talk to the professor.

"Ah, John. So cute to see young love. How are your mates?" she asks shuffeling out homework assignments into a neat pile before smiling up at me.

"Numerous, but good."

"That's good to hear. So what do you need?" The regal blond rises from her seat and coe closer to me so that we can talk on even ground.

"I need information on vampire clans in the area. The family name is Pythrose."

"I know them very well. They are an offshoot of my mother’s side of my family tree, mother was born into the clan but did not possess the gene so she was allowed to merry my father, who was a banshee like most of the Black line, he is where I get my creature blood from. The Pythrose clan are very proud and value tradition and honor above all else. They are also one of the oldest vampire clans in Europe. Why do you ask?"

"Because Ash Pythrose is now one of my mates." Her face grows pale, even for her.

"Oh no... And you haven't had any visions today, have you?" I look at her both dumbfounded and confused.

"No, I haven't, but why does that even matter?" She grabs me by the shoulder.

"Follow me. I'll explain on the way." She then takes off out of the classroom and begins to explain on the way down to the dungeons. "The Clan of Pythrose is known to use seers in order to predict their enemies and their reactions. These seers have not only got vampiric blood in them,but just enough of the dark one’s blood that they can also negate even a Dovah's ability to see the future until it is too late. If you have taken Ash as a submissive mate, they will not approve and they will attempt to kill you. The elders of the clan see those without vampiric blood as inferior and not worthy of their time and resources. Severus can help us." We arrive at Professor Snape's office. "Severus! Come out here! Quickly!" Professor Snape opens the door and Professor Malfoy nearly knocks him over dragging me into the room with her.

"What in Merlin's Beard is the problem, Narcissa? And why is Mr. Godheart here?" The potions master closes the door and bolts it tightly before moving to stand between his wife and the two of us.

"We have a big problem, Severus! John has taken a new mate!" Snape looks at her blankly while Tia’s Aunt Petunia smiles happily at me.

"And the problem is...?"

"It's the Pythrose boy!" Now it is Snape's turn to go pale.

"Oh no..."

“What is it dear?” The brunette woman asks looking from her husband to her friend. I decide it is finally time to stand up for myself.

"Why the bloody hell is everyone so worried about me? I'm King of the Dovah, the most powerful being on the Mountain of Storms. I can handle myself." Snape grabs ahold of my head and looks at my eyes, and lets go when he doesn't see what he is looking for. He begins rummaging around his office for something.

"You are very powerful, my boy, but the vampires nearly wiped out the Dovah 200 years ago when they assassinated the King. It was only through a pact with the other races that they survived."

"But we did survive. And we grew stronger for it." Narcissa Malfoy looked me in the eyes.

"But they KILLED the KING. We don't want that to happen to you."

"Ah, got it. I'm glad I kept a few potions around. Drink this. It will heighten even your senses. They will most likely attempt to attack while you and your mates sleep, so this should wake you up in time. That is, after all, how they killed the king before." I grudgingly drink the potion and find it tastes like burnt metal. "That's the best we can do for now, except for having someone keep watch over you throughout the night."

"Out of the question. My mates and I like our freedom. If you want to guard my portrait, feel free, but you won't set foot inside the room. Clear?" Snape rolled his eyes while Narcissa nodded.

"I understand child. Nobody will set foot in your room."

 ___________________________________________________________________________________________

The day practically crawls by with my senses heightened so much by the potion Snape gave me. I don't tell my mates, since that would just worry them unnecessarily. What the good professors didn't know was that the king who was killed by the vampires was only a quarter Dovah and the rest of his blood was elven, and was not truly fit to rule in the first place. The law is that only a full-blooded Dovah can rule our people, as they would be the best suited for fighting and would be able to take care of themselves. That specific Dovah had tried to overthrow our family and we allowed it to happen because we had seen what would happen to him. He had no relation to me or Jess at all. When the night finally comes around, everybody is very tense. I suggest that we go to bed early in an effort to lure out the would-be assassin. Fortunately, my ploy worked, and it isn't long before I can smell another creature in our room. It is moving very slowly, deliberately, trying to see where I am. This tips me off that it isn't a true vampire, as true vampires can see in the dark. As it gets closer I get ready to spring at it and attack this creature for coming into my room and trying to hurt my family. I don't even care that it wants me dead, what matters most is my family's safety.

It finally reaches the foot of my bed and I lunge at it, knocking it to the floor and change into my Dovah form as the lights magically come on. The figure is covered in black and red leather armor, it's greyish blue skin exposed with obvious scars from what appears to be muggle surgery all over it's face. It's eyes are blood red and it looks angry. "Get off of me, Dovah Garbage! Nobody defiles the children of Pythrose!" It manages to struggle away from me and produces a dagger with Celtic symbols on the hilt. I use my wings to propel myself forward and knock it off of it's feet and through the wall, which magically knits itself back together. We are in the halls of the school now, and I see Professors Riddle-Black, Black, Snape, and McGonagall rush over to us. The creature is flailing now and once again manages to evade my grasp. I watch it as it climbs up to one of the towers, the professors and Headmistress firing jinxes and curses at it, which it evades easily. I quickly fly after it and grab onto it's leg, spinning it around in the air before throwing it down to the ground level, a 20 story height easily. I land next to it as it gets up from that, shocked it is still alive, but it looks fairly disoriented. It is also bleeding, and I can smell traces of Dark Elf blood mixed with a toxin of some kind. I realize the toxin is the venom of vampires. This poor creature had been infused with vampire venom before it had been sent on this little "mission" to make it more durable. But the venom is wearing off.

"Nobody attacks me or my family. Understood?" The creature nods and tries to run away, but it isn't going to last long enough to deliver my message to the Pythrose Elders. "You know you are dying, don't you?" It nods and attempts to speak.

"Make... It... Fast..." I have pity on the poor creature and grant it's wish, shoving my claws into its chest and ripping out its heart with my right hand. I hear a gasp and look up to see Snape, Black, Riddle-Black, McGonagall, my mates, Tia, and her three oldest mates watching me carefully. I realize I look like a monster with the creature's heart in my hand, but I don't care at the moment, as the blood pooling on the ground reminds me of what I need to do next. I place the heart in the center of the pool of blood and wave my left hand over it and the heart absorbs the blood. I then carefully cut into it and remove the first of the two black blood rings. I kneel down to the corpse and close it's eyes while saying what my people always say after having to kill a sentient creature.
