"So it was Tyrine all this time." Jordan shook his head. "I remember her back in Draenor, she was livid."
"Yeah, well, according to the diary, after I fucked her fiancΓ©, it was Mylune who comforted her. They seemed to have developed quite the relationship."
"Great, so you fucked her fiancΓ©, AND killed her girlfriend. No wonder she went ballistic."
Grogek shrugged. "The woman was mentally unstable."
"And Mylune was a fucking moron. Trying to assassinate Grommash on her own."
"They both got what they deserved." Grogek scratched the back of his head. "At least we don't have to worry about our children anymore."
"We never had to in the first place." Elunara shrugged. "They were too young for Tyrine's ire. I mean, there're lots of passages about how corrupt they are, being born from bad stock... but it was beyond her range to hurt a child."
"That's... sort of comforting." Jordan shook his head. "I guess." He rubbed his neck. "Gods, what is wrong with my BACK?"
"Unhook the plate, let me see."
He complied with her request.
"Jordan, you're starting to scare me." She ran her hand across his back. "This... this is awful."
"Dude, the fuck happened to you?" Gerald cocked his head to the side.
"That's what we've been trying to figure out." Elunara sighed.
"He looks like he's had the hell beat out of him."
"Some of these are old, some are new..." She ran her hand over his back and healed some of the damage. "I just have no idea what could be causing such a thing."
Gerald frowned. "How long has it been going on?"
"Judging by the pains I've been getting in my back? Two, three months?" Jordan sighed. "Maybe a little longer."
Gerald calculated in his head. "Gotten attacked by any more lovelorn lunatics?"
"Not that I'm aware of." Jordan sighed and tugged his shirt down. He reattached his breastplate and back piece. "Besides, my armor should have protected me from that."
"Momma! Momma!"
In bed, Elunara rose up on her elbows. "What Bradly? Don't yell." She rubbed her head.
"Momma! Dad's doing something weird! I got up to go pee... and he just walks past me like I'm not there!"
Grogek shook his head. "Love..."
Elunara slipped out of bed. "Show me where he went."
Following Bradly's direction, she tracked Jordan easily. She frowned when she came to The Grove. In the center of the area, a succubus stood, holding Jordan under her thrall. Before Elunara could step forward, she spotted the girl walking up.
"Give him to me."
The succubus shifted, and the spell it channeled changed. Jordan lifted his hands and stepped forward, taking the girl into his arms. He kissed her with passion, as she slipped her hands up his back.
"Really, Cindy? Really? A succubus? How pathetic are you?"
The girl jerked back and growled. "He's MINE now!"
Elunara shook her head and sighed. "If it was anyone else, I'd give you points for creativity. Hell, points for persistence, but this is just sad."
"I have taken him for my own, and you will NEVER have him back!"
"OK, first, how long has this been going on?"
Cindy gave her version of a cat smile. "Months. I also know, that the longer, and more often, he is affected by the spell, the more mine he becomes, until you can never break him."
"So you'd rather have a mindless thrall, than an actual human companion?"
"He's MINE! He is NOT mindless; he'll just love ME instead of YOU!"
"Ok, first of all, it doesn't work like that. Second, the succubus is channeling the spell; he'll be HER pet, not yours. I can't believe you're so pathetic that you have to rape my husband, just to get any semblance of affection."
"You have no idea what you're talking about! It's not rape if he does it willingly."
"Willingly, my ass! He has NO idea you even EXIST right now!" Elunara gestured at Jordan. "You had to incapacitate him, just to get him to stick his dick in you. For all he knows, he's fucking ME right now. A succubus gives him the fantasy he thinks he wants. She doesn't make him love you; she can barely even make him WANT you."
"I've had enough of this. Jordan, kill her."
Jordan shifted his stance, but did not move.
"The hell do you think you're doing?"
"Once I have him kill you, everyone will know he loves me more."
"OK, I can tell you from experience; that killing someone's spouse does NOT make them love you. Having someone kill their own spouse... is a worse idea."
"JORDAN, KILL HER!"
He continued to blink back and forth.
"Oh, you pathetic little idiot. Don't you know anything?" Elunara shook her head. "I AM a fucking succubus." She summoned her glow, and strolled up to Jordan. "Men do what I say. All men bow to me." She put a hand on Jordan's chest. "That's enough, love. Time to wake up." He swayed his head.
The succubus stepped back and cracked her whip, hissing at Elunara.
"See? Even your pet knows I'm the stronger of us."
"Stop it! Stupid pet! Do as I say!"
"You may be a gifted Warlock, to summon one so early in your training, but you'll never wield one properly." Elunara glared at the succubus. "Go home."
"Yessssss goddesssssss." It hissed, before vanishing in a cloud of pink smoke.
"Goddess?" Cindy blinked.
Elunara caught Jordan as he collapsed. "Even demons sense it now." She murmured.
"What happened?" Jordan grabbed his head. "Everything hurts."
"Oh, my love." Elunara channeled her healing energy into Jordan.
"Why am I outside in my sleeping pants?"
"Because you've been under the control of a succubus, and a complete and utter twit." Elunara pointed.
He stared at Cindy. "You fucking bitch."
"See? He'll never be yours."
Cindy turned and made to run, but Elunara was quicker, grabbing Cindy by the throat and slamming her into the ground.
"I'm not done with you." Elunara growled at Cindy's unconscious body.
Jordan sat in the grass, rubbing his head. "Gods, I hurt all over."
Elunara knelt and put her hands on Jordan's shoulders, channeling her energy into him. "Cindy's been using a succubus over the last few weeks to force you to have sex with her."
"Ugh." He shuddered. "You have got to be kidding me."
