The next morning, Orion opened his eyes in the inner keep to find both Lilith and Lysinthia sprawled across him, fast asleep. Lysinthia in particular still had Orion's cock in her mouth, as though she'd grown used to holding it even while dozing.
Orion got dressed and walked over to a window, feeling a slight heaviness in his chest. The sun had set, and it never rose again. That meant winter in the Black Forest had officially arrived, ushering in the Long Night.
Dark beast tides could break out any day now.
After calming the now-awake Lilith and Lysinthia, Orion headed out of the inner keep. Outside, four guards were already waiting.
"All right, let's head out. The Long Night is here, so we need to inspect the territory."
A chorus of four howls echoed through the air. Orion glanced at the four Frost Wolves seated next to the guards and joked, "Well, look at that—finally showing some spirit!"
