A Wolf's Howl, A Fairy's Wing-Chapter 672 - Naeku’s new gear

A short time later, Naeku's new ring gleamed on her finger and her mind's eye travelled into the inner space to inspect its contents.

Erik stood in front of her, hands on his hips. They were both still naked. "You should see two things," he explained to her, a small grin on his lips. "One was made by the collective efforts of my other wives as a gift to their new sister, and the other was made by me. I'm sure you can guess which is which."

As soon as she saw what he meant, she started blinking. A blush appeared on her cheeks.

"That's right," an amused Erik chuckled. "The tame and useful present was made by me, while Emma, Emily, Elora, and Astrid made the other one. I'm afraid most of your sisters are some level of pervert."

Groaning, Naeku retreated from the inner space and glared at him. "How would they even know I'd be okay with this?!"

"Because they have faith in me," Erik answered cheekily. "Or are you saying you wouldn't wear that for me? It's not just an outfit, you know. It actually provides a lot of benefits."

"Of course it does…" Naeku sighed helplessly. She looked at Erik reluctantly for a moment, but surprised herself with how little resistance she felt to the idea.

"Go on, then," Erik chuckled. "You don't want to spurn your sisters' efforts, right?"

"Yeah, yeah," Naeku smirked, amused. "I do wonder who they tried to please with this, though. Me, or you?"

Erik shrugged, a meaningful smile on his lips. "They're good girls."

This time, Naeku actually giggled. She realised she didn't actually mind either way.

Using the method Erik taught her, she pulled an outfit from the ring and draped it over her body in the same action. Her naked body was covered up, but Erik didn't mind in the slightest as a lustful glint passed through his eyes.

A smirking Naeku was now dressed in what could only be described as an elegant, ornate, belly dancer outfit.

A beautifully embroidered, small crop top of gold and black covered her modest breast. Delicate sequins, and tiny beads were arranged in hieroglyphs, as thin, golden straps edged with tiny crystals framed her collarbone and shoulders gracefully.

Below her bare, bronze stomach, a flowing, layered skirt cascades gracefully, sweeping to her ankles. Each layer varied in hue, transitioning from deep tones of gold and black at the waist to lighter shades toward the hem. Intricate embroidery along the waistband mirrors the top. The skirt featured high, open slits on either side, offering tantalising glimpses of her legs.

A luxurious belt adorned her hips, crafted from gold-plated metal links, and covered with intricate beadwork, sparkling gemstones, and delicate dangling charms. Golden coins and shimmering chains drape down elegantly, creating musical chimes that accentuate every movement.

The outfit accentuated her form perfectly and, naturally, prominently displayed her new tattoo. Erik felt a blow to his willpower as the urge to jump her right then and there surged within him. Yet, the best part for him was also the part Naeku was grumbling the most about earlier—an elegant choker around her neck, which read 'Sir's princess'.

Seeing the effect this outfit had on him, Naeku snorted, but still couldn't suppress a smile of playful pride appear on her lips. Raising her arms above her head, she started slowly swaying her hips in a kind of dance. Instantly, hunger appeared in Erik's eyes.

"Hehehe," she giggled mischievously. "If nothing else, this will definitely make it easier to tease you, my love."

But then she lowered her arms and rested one hand on her hips, and the other on her choker. She narrowed her eyes. "But you don't actually expect me to wear this thing for other people, right? My family is still going to see me in my human form!"

Erik grinned playfully. "I certainly won't force you, Naenae… but you should know every piece of that outfit works together to enhance the flow of runic power in your body, and allow your body to improve faster. It would be very beneficial if you wore it at all times."

Dropping her arms, Naeku groaned helplessly. "Alright, but—"

"Also," Erik continued mischievously, interrupting her. "You can connect mentally with the outfit and make that choker invisible…"

Blinking, Naeku closed her lips again. Crossing her arms, she started to pout. At first, she still tried to come up with reasons not to wear it, but then she instead closed her eyes and started to connect with the outfit like he told her.

Mere moments later, the choker shimmered into invisibility. She could still feel it around her neck, but it would no longer give her father a heart attack.

"See? They thought of everything!" Erik chuckled with delight.

Opening her eyes again, Naeku groaned and smirked wryly as she touched the choker reading 'Sir's princess'. "I can't believe they were this confident about how our first night would go…"

Still, when she thought back to last night, the way she was able to tease him, as well as the feeling she got from submission and calling him sir, any remaining resistance quickly disappeared. "Fine, I'll wear it…" she sighed. "Without the choker, it's not that far removed from my normal outfits, anyway."

Despite her apparent reluctance, Erik could not only see the excitement on her blushing cheeks, but also feel it through their new bond. He suspected Naeku hadn't fully realised yet how hard it would be to fool each other now.

Still, he wouldn't call her on it. Instead, he simply enjoyed the sight.

"Now try my gift," Erik grinned. "It's intended to be worn over this outfit, and even connects to it."

Smirking at the way he looked at her, Naeku nodded. Waving her hand again, something far bulkier immediately covered the belly dancer outfit. Suddenly, she went from dancer to frontline fighter as a powerful scale armour appeared on her body.

Unlike Astrid's viking-style, agility-focused armour, this one was clearly intended for defence. It fully covered her body, not even leaving a gap for her tattoo. The belly dancer skirt had split using the slits and now wrapped around each of her legs, beneath the armour.

The armour was onyx black, matching Erik's armour, and her own fur in beast form, but was also covered in golden decorations, matching her eyes.

Instantly, Naeku felt her connection to the belly dancer outfit extend to this armour, and she could feel its functions. Wanting to try them, she quickly shifted to werepanther form and felt the armour come along with her.

Erik smiled as he watched her admire her new gear. "I can't make something as powerful as my own armour without another sigil core, but this one is as close as I can get. It has several effects that I'm sure will be of significant help in combat."

After turning back into human form, she pouted at him. "I feel kind of bad now… I prepared something for you, too, but it's not as amazing."
