The fire had long since faded, but the heat between Kaito and Selene still lingered in the air. Her breath was steady now, her silver hair fanned across his chest like a veil of silk. Their bodies lay tangled beneath a heavy blanket of dew and magic, and in the silence of the woods, it almost felt like peace.
But peace was a lie.
Kaito's eyes snapped open.
He felt it—something watching them. Not just a presence, but a gaze that licked over his skin like molten fire.
Selene stirred beside him, sensing the shift in the air. "She's near," she whispered, voice tight with unease.
"Who?"
Selene sat up, her bare skin glowing in the moonlight. "The second one. I don't know her name, but I know her scent. She's not human… and she's been hunting you since the moment you arrived."
The trees rustled before them. Flames crackled without wood. And then—
She emerged.
Long crimson hair that flowed like lava. Horns curling back over her skull like black obsidian. Blood-red eyes that gleamed with hunger. Her body was sin incarnate—hourglass curves clad in black leather straps, revealing more than they hid. A long tail flicked behind her, and every step she took was laced with the confidence of a predator.
"Ara… so it's true," the demoness purred, licking her lips slowly. "You really have returned. Harem-Born... I thought you'd be taller."
Kaito stood, slowly pulling Selene's cloak around himself. "You've been watching me?"
"I've been dreaming of you." Her tongue flicked across her lips. "And now I finally get to feel you."
Selene moved in front of him, naked but fearless, blades already drawn. "Stay back, demon. You'll have to kill me before you touch him."
The demoness laughed. "Oh, don't worry. I plan to do much more than touch him."
Kaito stepped forward. "Who are you?"
She tilted her head, fire dancing at her fingertips. "They call me Lilix—Daughter of the Infernal Dominion. I'm the firstborn succubus, forged in the flames of desire."
Selene growled. "And a soul-thief. A parasite."
Lilix shrugged. "Guilty. But I'm not here to fight. Not yet." Her gaze locked with Kaito's. "I came to test you."
The flames around them rose. Lilix raised her hands, and the ground shifted. A ring of fire erupted around the clearing, isolating the three of them.
"You want a harem, little godling?" she purred. "Then earn me."
Kaito's power stirred inside him. The seal throbbed on his chest, as if recognizing her presence.
Without warning, Lilix darted forward. Selene blocked her with twin blades, but Lilix moved like smoke—slipping past her, appearing directly in front of Kaito with her hand on his throat, pinning him to a tree.
Her eyes bore into his. "I want to see it. That thing inside you. The hunger. Show it to me."
Her thigh slid between his legs. Her breath was fire against his ear.
Selene struck—but Lilix vanished, reappearing behind her, grabbing her hair. "Mm. Loyal little knight. But you're trembling."
Selene twisted and slashed, cutting Lilix's shoulder. Dark red blood hissed against the grass.
Lilix only laughed, licking the wound. "Cute. You'll both be delicious."
Kaito stepped forward, something inside him roaring to life.
"No more games."
Lilix turned in time to see the burst of black-red aura explode from his palm. It struck her square in the chest, sending her flying back into the flames. The fire absorbed her scream—but when the smoke cleared, she was grinning.
Her armor burned away. Now she stood in nothing but flame and skin, body glowing with infernal energy. She looked like a goddess of sin.
She touched her bare breasts, licking her fingers. "Mmm. Now that's what I wanted to feel. You're not just a boy. You're a beast."
Kaito's breathing grew heavier. His body ached, not from pain, but from power. His skin burned, the seal glowing brighter than ever.
Lilix stepped out of the fire toward him, slowly, reverently. "Let me taste it, Kaito. Just once. I don't want your love... just your darkness."
Selene was on her knees, exhausted. "Don't… let her… she'll consume you…"
But Kaito was already stepping forward.
Lilix fell to her knees before him, eyes half-lidded. Her tongue slid out as her fingers traced the mark glowing across his chest.
"I won't take your soul," she whispered, "just your desire. Let me feel the god in you."
She opened her mouth—
And Kaito grabbed her hair.
Their eyes locked.
And then—
He kissed her.
The moment their lips met, the fire exploded around them. The infernal seal responded, burning hot, and a second wave of power surged from him—one made of both lust and will.
Lilix moaned into the kiss, her tail coiling around his leg. Her body trembled against his, overwhelmed by the mix of divine and primal energy now raging inside him.
She broke away, gasping, eyes wide in shock and ecstasy.
"You're… more than I expected."
She stumbled back, shuddering. Her skin glowed, marked now with a sigil of the Harem-Born burned into her stomach.
"Damn it," she laughed breathlessly. "You've already claimed me... without even fucking me."
Kaito stood tall, the wind stirring around him. "I don't need to sleep with you to make you mine."
Lilix grinned. "No. But I'll beg you to eventually."
She disappeared into smoke.
When the flames faded, Selene crawled toward him. "You… you resisted her?"
"No," Kaito said quietly. "I overpowered her."
Selene leaned into him, breathing hard. "Your harem... it's starting to form. But with every woman you claim, your seal weakens. And when it breaks fully…"
Kaito stared into the night sky. "Then the gods will come for me."
And far above, hidden in the stars, the goddess who sent him here watched with narrowed eyes.
"You've claimed two," she whispered. "Five more… and you'll remember everything."
The sun barely crested the horizon when Kaito opened his eyes. Selene was curled against him, her breath warm on his chest, the memory of last night still etched into the grass and air. But his thoughts weren't on her soft skin or the way her legs instinctively tangled with his.
They were on Lilix—and the moment he claimed her without even laying with her.
The mark still tingled on his hand, a low hum pulsing from the seal etched into his chest. It wasn't just desire anymore. There was power. And something else.
A hunger.
Selene stirred beside him, eyes fluttering open. "You didn't sleep."
"No," he said. "Couldn't. Something's pulling me. South, I think."
She sat up, completely naked and unashamed, stretching like a panther under morning light. "You're starting to feel it—the Harem Bond. There's another girl nearby. One you're fated to meet."
Kaito stood, tossing aside the fur blanket. "Then let's go find her."
Selene frowned as she equipped her armor again. "This one is dangerous. Beastfolk territory. Their women are... intense. And their instincts aren't like ours."
He smirked. "I think I'll be fine."
"You might be," she said, tightening her chestplate. "But your pants might not survive."
---
By noon, they were deep in the Wildroot Woods. Trees grew twisted here, thick and ancient, and the air held a heavy musk of heat and fur.
Kaito could sense her now. Whoever she was, she radiated like a storm of sensuality and rage.
Suddenly, Selene stopped. Her hand raised, signaling silence.
"Trap," she said quietly.
Too late.
A vine snapped beneath Kaito's feet—and the next moment, he was upside-down, hanging from a snare rope, dangling above the ground.
Selene swore and reached for her blade.
But from the shadows came a low growl.
"Not so fast, shiny bitch."
The voice was rich and throaty, with a teasing snarl behind every syllable.
From the bushes emerged a beastgirl—part tiger, part woman, all attitude. Orange and black-striped skin peeked through tattered leather straps that barely covered her generous curves. Her ears twitched, her golden eyes narrowed with amusement, and her tail flicked in delight.
She crouched low like a predator, eyes fixed hungrily on the dangling boy.
"Well, well. What's a juicy male like this doing in our territory?" she purred.
Kaito sighed. "Let me guess. You're the one I'm fated to meet."
She smirked. "Fated? Hell no. I don't believe in fate. I believe in claiming what I want."
She leapt gracefully, landing directly on top of him as he swung upside down.
"Name's Ravyn. Alpha of the Wildclaw tribe. And I haven't had fresh meat in days."
Selene stepped forward, swords drawn. "Get off him, beast."
Ravyn's claws gleamed as she snarled. "Touchy, aren't you? You can have him after I'm done."
Kaito growled, struggling slightly. "You know I can still hear both of you?"
Ravyn turned back to him, grinning. "Good. Then listen up, harem boy. You're in my territory now. You want my respect? Then you earn it like the males of our tribe do."
He narrowed his eyes. "Which is?"
"Trial by Hunt." She licked her lips. "You run. I chase. If I catch you, I fuck you. If you escape... you can fuck me."
Selene's face turned scarlet. "This is ridiculous—"
Ravyn ignored her. With a swipe of her claw, she sliced the rope, dropping Kaito to the ground in a smooth roll.
Kaito stood, dusting himself off. "You want me to run?"
She leaned close, her voice a growl against his neck. "Only for ten seconds."
He grinned. "Then you better chase fast."
He bolted.
---
The forest blurred around him. Branches whipped past his face as he ran full speed, heart pounding—not from fear, but excitement. Something about Ravyn's presence ignited his blood. The game. The thrill. The challenge.
Behind him, he could hear her snarling laughter. "I love it when they put up a fight!"
Kaito darted through the trees, leapt over roots, slid under low branches. He wasn't just running. He was luring her. Drawing her in.
Ten seconds passed.
She howled. "TIME'S UP, PRETTY BOY!"
The ground shook. She was fast—faster than he expected. Her shadow lunged—
He turned suddenly, grabbing a low hanging branch and swinging himself behind her as she passed.
Ravyn skidded to a stop, eyes wide. "You little—"
Kaito tackled her from behind, pinning her to the ground, breathless and grinning.
"Looks like I win."
Her chest rose and fell, pressing against his. She looked up at him, panting.
And then—
She laughed. A wild, beautiful, untamed laugh.
"Damn. You've got claws after all."
Her thighs wrapped around his waist, flipping him onto his back.
"But let's see if you've got teeth."
---
What followed was a blur of tangled limbs, growls, moans, and dominance fights that turned to passionate submission. Ravyn kissed like she fought—hard and full of hunger.
Their bodies writhed beneath the trees, the bond forming not from softness, but from fire.
And when they were done, she lay atop him, licking his cheek like a satisfied cat.
"You're mine now," she said softly. "But I'll share you. Maybe."
Kaito's chest glowed. A new sigil etched itself above his hip.
Ravyn saw it and grinned. "So it's true. You're the one who'll claim us all."
Selene stepped into the clearing, crossing her arms. "That's three now. Your seal is cracking faster than I expected."
Kaito sat up, wiping sweat from his brow. "What happens when it fully breaks?"
Selene didn't answer right away.
Because from deep in the forest, something roared.
Not Ravyn.
Not human.
Not demon.
Something ancient. Something coming.
And all three of them turned toward it as the ground began to tremble.
The ground shook violently beneath Kaito's feet. The tremors weren't natural—they pulsed with magic, deep and dark. Even Ravyn, who had just moments ago pinned him down with her thighs and claimed his body like a tigress in heat, now stood upright and tense, her tail bristling with primal warning.
Selene unsheathed her blades, eyes narrowed.
"That roar didn't come from any beast I've heard," she said grimly. "Something's been awakened."
Ravyn sniffed the air. "There's a tear... a passage. Below us. I can feel the cold."
Kaito knelt and pressed his palm against the mossy soil. Immediately, his seal pulsed. Symbols of deep crimson snaked across his wrist, glowing as if the earth itself responded to him. It parted slightly under his touch, and then, with a thunderous creak, the forest floor split open—revealing a spiral staircase made of bone and black stone.
Selene stared. "That's no natural dungeon. This was sealed. Deliberately."
Ravyn grinned. "Which means something juicy is down there."
Kaito didn't hesitate.
He took the first step.
The staircase descended into an ancient tunnel laced with glowing roots and mist. Symbols flickered faintly on the walls—elven runes, long forgotten. The air grew colder. Thicker. Desire didn't die here; it was chained. Buried. Hungry.
They moved slowly. Kaito led, with Selene flanking his left and Ravyn trailing behind. Her claws scraped along the wall, her eyes glowing amber in the dark.
"This whole place is soaked in sexual energy," Ravyn whispered. "Can you feel it? It's not just evil. It's... tortured."
Selene pointed ahead. "Look."
The tunnel opened into a grand, circular chamber. In the center stood a crystal prison, its surface cracked and webbed with corruption. Inside, suspended by chains of black silver, was a woman.
And she was exquisite.
Her skin was pale like moonlight, and her long, snow-white hair floated unnaturally as if underwater. Elven ears peeked through her tresses, and golden tattoos glowed faintly across her thighs, breasts, and collarbones—sigils of a curse.
She was naked, her limbs bound in an X-shape mid-air, chains dug into her wrists and ankles. Her breasts rose and fell in a slow rhythm, and her mouth was covered with a transparent magical veil.
Kaito approached, heart pounding.
Selene gripped his arm. "Be careful. She's not just cursed. She's sealed for a reason."
Ravyn stepped forward, eyes narrowed. "I've heard of her. A legendary elf—one of the original Blood Queens. They called her Velyra of the Ecstasy Moon."
Kaito stood before the crystal, mesmerized. Velyra opened her eyes slowly—and they were golden, ancient, and filled with pain and longing.
Her gaze locked with his.
And the chamber trembled.
Chains rattled. The magical veil cracked. Velyra's mouth opened, her voice echoing into Kaito's soul.
"You… have returned to me."
His seal flared with unbearable heat. The crystal began to break.
Selene moved between him and the crystal. "She's reacting to your aura. This place was built to contain her, Kaito. You can't just—"
Ravyn interrupted, stepping closer. "She's his. We all feel it. She's part of the harem. Part of his fate."
Kaito clenched his fists. "Then I have to free her."
He reached out.
The moment his fingers touched the crystal, a shockwave of lust and fury burst from the chamber. Selene and Ravyn were thrown backward. Kaito stood still, surrounded by violet light and fire.
Chains exploded.
The curse shattered.
Velyra fell into his arms, naked, trembling, her breath ragged.
She clung to him, her voice weak but laced with longing. "So long... I have waited. So many centuries. Touch me, master. Set me free completely."
Kaito's power surged wildly. Her skin was hot, soaked in ancient magic. His seal burned brighter than ever.
He laid her down gently on the soft moss-covered altar. Her body arched beneath him.
Selene groaned from the side. "The bond must be completed. If not... her curse will return."
Kaito hovered above her, the air thick with heat.
Velyra's hands pulled him in.
Her lips brushed his. "Don't be afraid. I was made for you."
Their bodies intertwined like fate had woven them centuries ago.
And as they moved, the entire dungeon glowed. Symbols on the walls lit up, and the curse was absorbed into Kaito's aura. Another sigil carved itself above his heart—larger, deeper than the others.
When it was over, Velyra lay limply in his arms, glowing softly.
She looked up at him with tears in her golden eyes. "You've... unchained me. I am yours now. In body, mind, and magic."
Selene and Ravyn approached from the shadows.
"That's four," Selene said quietly. "Four of seven. And already... the gods can feel you."
Kaito looked at his hands. Power radiated from them.
The harem wasn't just for pleasure.
It was changing him.
He looked up—and from the top of the stairs, a new figure stood cloaked in moonlight.
A woman in a white dress, haloed by divine light.
Not smiling.
Not angry.
Just watching.
The goddess who started all of this.
"Four already," she whispered. "I warned them. But now it's too late."
And she vanished.
