The female wolf’s eyes opened. Looking down he could see her paws were leaving prints in the snow leaving a trail behind her. Her fur was red like autumn leaves, crimson red like the setting sun. Her chest was a bright silvery sheen, like the full moon in all its glory. She was the Alpha bitch. The only female in the pack that had rights to the Alpha male, or rather the Alpha male was the only one in the pack with rights to her. She slowly walked through the pack. All of them without question separated, moving out of her way giving her a clear path.
No one challenged her, to do so meant they challenged the Alpha, a killer, her mate. She was his reward. Every night she would have to make this journey for eternity in Hircine’s Hunting Grounds.
Finally as she made her way up a rocky slope towards the cave, her destination, she passed a large black wolf who stood there by the entrance almost like he was on guard. Over his left eye were three deep scars, almost six inches long. She herself had three stripes of light grey fur across her otherwise red furred face. He stood there watching her slowly walk passed. She could feel his eyes on her. Every night it would be the same. As she passed him she could swear he always had a tear form in his eyes.
Every night she would present herself here at the cave entrance and every night he would be waiting. A wolf larger than the other wolves that surrounded the area came out. He was covered in thick dark grey fur and he was the Alpha male. He commanded her inside, all the while keeping his eyes fixed upon the black wolf that always stood there facing her.
The moment the grey wolf comes outside the cave to find her, a deep rooted fear grips her. She feels afraid as every sense tells her to run. She wants to run and to scream but she can’t. The sense of dread threatens to overwhelm her with every passing second. But where could she run to? Who would come to her aid if she yelled for help? She faced the simple truth, all she can do is obey. Looking back she saw the black wolf there, watching her as tears poured from his eyes to drip off his face.
The Alpha saw it too but he was out of patience. He savagely bit her rear leg making her yelp with the pain. She can feel the blood trickle down her leg leaving a bloody paw print as she entered the cave. Aela’s body started to sweat as her fear became near uncontrollable.
She feels him behind her, she looks back at the black wolf who is still standing there watching her. His eyes were full of tears. The Alpha wolf forces himself on top of her savagely biting her back to make her stand still as he mounts her.
That night Aela woke up violently from the nightmare. She was shaking and burning up as sweat poured off her body. She tightened her grip on Sotek but she couldn’t stop crying despite his attempts at calming her down. All her senses were overwhelmed with fear. Sotek lay there besides her with his arms around her trying to give all the comfort and reassurance as he could.

I meant 'hard to read' in terms of the subject matter, not the quality of writing! That's excellent.
Has it really been so long ago when you joined Tamriel Tales? I'm stunned... Thanks for sticking with the story, I was hoping you would.
PS: noticed 'past' which should be 'passed'.
Aela (The Wife) isn't keen on this one either...
The same thing that I mentioned in my last pm. I think 'Adult Content' wouldn't take away from the tension of this moment.
Used mild as it's not overly graphic and it's a dream sequence despite the fact that it does hit Aela hard.
How can it be mild?
