“The moon is bright tonight. It will be full in less than a fortnight.”
“Yes,” Julia breathed, entranced by the pull of it in the night sky.
“Are you scared of what might happen?”
“A little. A lot. I don’t know.” She laughed at her own indecisiveness. “Are you scared?”
“No. I am more excited than anything.”
Julia couldn’t resist, she laid her hand coyly on his groin, unsurprised to find it hard and heavy beneath her palm. “How excited?”
“This excited…” He growled and rolled over her, nuzzling his face into the valley of her breasts. Seconds later it seemed, they were both nude, and Julia had no recollection of how she had gotten that way.
“You work fast.” She laughed.
“I cannot have my prey escaping now can I?” he teased back.
There was no more room for talk as Nikolai lowered his mouth to hers. His lips were as soft as she remembered them being. His tongue slipped past her lips and dueled with hers, filling her mouth with the wild taste of him. While he kissed her, his fingers stroked from Julia’s neck to her knees. He caressed her breasts, belly, navel and mons with infinite care. He pinched one of her nipples, lightly rolling it between his thumb and forefinger, until she cried out and arched up against him, seeking more of the delicious torment.
His hand roved down, down between her thighs. She spread them wide, eagerly, and his weight settled easily between them. His fingertips dipped into her wet heat, rubbing lightly over her labia and clitoris, knowing just how to tease and torment her into wanting more, more and still more. Her hips bucked up against his hand, aching for a firmer touch, a deeper penetration. He eagerly obliged her, pressing two of his long fingers deep into her channel, stretching her, preparing her for him. His eyes blazed down into hers, keeping them locked together, as he brought his hand up to show her the glistening evidence of her own arousal. With a breathless moan she watched as he licked her juices from his fingers, obviously savoring the taste of her.
He released his fingers with a wet, suctioning sound, and placed them once more at her vagina. This time it was three fingers that entered her body. Julia cried out and bucked against his hand, and he began a rhythmic thrusting in and out of her burning pussy, making her wild with need. His mouth roved down to her nipple, drawing it tightly into his wet, hot mouth. His lips, teeth and tongue worked her, driving her crazy with lust and arousal. Her body felt swollen, achy and hungry for everything he had to give.
“Please, please,” she moaned over and over again, thrashing her head about on the ground, heedless to the debris that caught in her hair as she did so.
“Please what, Julia. Tell me what you want,” he urged her, murmuring the words against her hard, swollen nipple.
“I want…I want…”
“Tell me.”
“I want it all,” she cried, bucking up against his hand, forcing his fingers deeper into her welcoming body.
“Then you shall have it,” he promised in a dark voice. He pulled his fingers free from her and rubbed her wetness over the tip of his cock. He wrapped his fist around the base and pumped himself with his hand. He positioned the crown of his sex at her portal and in one great lunge, thrust into the heart of her.
Julia screamed at the sudden invasion, both in pleasure, surprise and pain. Nikolai raised her hips up, wrapping her legs around his waist and began to thrust into her. She felt a gentle probing at the flesh of her anus then gasped anew when Nikolai’s thumb entered her there. Her body felt split open, wide and receptive to his whim. Nerve endings she’d never even known she had awoke where Nikolai’s thumb carefully pistoned, and she clamped down on him with ecstatic pleasure. Julia clearly heard the wet and greedy noises her pussy made as he thrust in and out of her, and the sounds aroused her to a fevered pitch. She rose up and kissed him, stabbing her tongue into his mouth as his cock and thumb stabbed into her lower orifices.
A moment later she howled into his mouth and came with a sweet, warm rush of liquid between her legs, easing his way further as he rocked inside of her. Nikolai shuddered and pounded into her with a fierce rhythm, shaking her very bones with the force of his thrusts. He roared his satisfaction to the heavens, even as her body still pulsed with its own release, and filled her with the cream of his climax. Over and over his body poured itself into hers until her womb was flooded to bursting with his come. Then, when it seemed she would burst with him, Nikolai collapsed onto her, taking her nipple into his mouth once again as he calmed.
It was almost dawn when they rose from their lover’s bower, dressed and headed for home. Hand in hand they walked, ready to face the day ahead. Together.
Epilogue
Brianna closed her uncle’s memoirs with a happy sigh. “I can’t believe he knew all about your kind, Ivan.”
“He was a smart man, your uncle Alexi.”
“How on earth could he have suspected that I would find you here? It’s amazing—he actually discovered the existence of your pack when he was a young boy, studied you from afar without your knowledge…and he never told anyone—he devoted his whole life to finding others like you and preserving your habitats. It’s as though I never really knew my uncle at all. He had a secret life I knew nothing about.”
“Does it say in there why he never contacted us? Why he never came forward and introduced himself?”
“He just mentions that he had other plans regarding your family. And you know what else? He sent me here on purpose—his deathbed wish was more than just a whim—he hoped that I would stumble on your village and perhaps discover the same passion for conservation as he had…and the wonder of it all is that I actually did.”
“I for one am incredibly grateful to your uncle. Without him we may never have met.” Ivan growled after the words, as if in protest over so dire a thought.
“Oh I wouldn’t go that far. I think we were destined to meet, you and I. But perhaps we wouldn’t have found each other so soon. I’m glad Alexi sent me here. Very glad.”
“Well, are you ready to go down to the village proper and witness the pack’s change?”
“Ready as I’ll ever be. You know, I’m never going to get used to this. It’s all still so magical for me,” Brianna said with a smile.
“So you’ve no regrets in coming to stay here with us?”
“None. You know that, you big goob.” She laughed.
“And how do you feel about having another human come and stay with us?”
“Julia’s not so human anymore. But I like her very much. I think she’s a perfect mate for Nikolai. She’ll keep him on his toes. And keep him from being so serious about protecting the pack all the time.”
“My thoughts exactly, love.” Ivan leaned down and kissed her lips. “I’m glad that things finally worked out between them.”
“Shall we walk down together?
“I’ll never leave your side.”
* * * * *
“According to Adrian your change will probably not be for another few months yet, even though you are far along in the metamorphosis.”
“Good. I doubt I’m ready. I haven’t even seen you change yet, Nikolai, not fully. I have no idea what to expect.” Julia shuffled her feet, looking around her at all the other werewolves, men, women and their families gathered around them as they awaited the rise of the full moon in the sky.
“Do not be nervous, love. I promise that no harm will befall you so long as I am near you.”
“I love you Nikolai.”
“I love you too, fair Julia. Now, enough of this serious talk. This is a night of celebration!” His last words were loud, for the benefit of the others around them. “We will hunt tonight and run the wilds until morning, under the wondrous light of the moooooooon.” He threw back his head and howled. Each of his pack mates followed suit until a symphony of wolfish cries rose up towards the heavens.
Nikolai looked down at Julia again. “Are you sure you are up to this?”
; “Absolutely. I don’t want to miss out on one minute of it. Just remember not to make any sudden moves towards me when you’re a wolf.” She laughed at her own nervous words.
“I promise to try. I am not completely myself in that form, but I will have enough of my wits about me to recognize my mate…or so Ivan tells me.” He laughed. “I am a novice at this myself.”
“And what if I do change?”
“Then you and I will have to find a quiet corner in which to explore your new form…which I am sure will be just as sexy as your present one.” He flashed her a wicked, lascivious grin.
“You beast.” She shivered with desire at the hungry look in his eye. Her hormones had been out of control during the past couple of weeks, ever since Nikolai had bitten her. She wanted sex several times a day now. Luckily, Nikolai was more than happy to oblige her whenever she had need of him.
“I may be a beast, but I am your beast, love.” He leaned down and nuzzled her ear playfully.
“And don’t you forget it.”
There was a stirring in the crowd of people. “The moon is on the rise, Julia,” Nikolai whispered, his voice full of awe and anticipation.
Julia stood next to Nikolai as it happened—his change. It was a magical moment when his body shifted, blurred and reformed. The transformation only took a few short moments and then, all around her, stood giant wolves shuffling their feet and moving to flank their leader. Nikolai was beautiful beyond words. Standing on his great pawed feet he reached nearly to her waist in height, his thick golden pelt shining in the silvery light of the moon. Black marks of kohl rimmed his eyes as they did when he was a man, giving him an exotic look.
She felt a tingling and looked down at her own body, gasping to find her body covered in a light pelt of yellow fur. “Oh lord look at me,” she wailed.
Nikolai the wolf moved over to her, sniffed her once and then yipped at her. He seemed to be smiling up at her, sharp teeth flashing like white diamonds in the dusk twilight. He seemed to be reassuring her that she was just as beautiful to him now as she had been but moments ago. Surprisingly enough, Julia felt some measure of acceptance take over her worries and she shrugged her shoulders with a little laugh.
“Well, shall we go, love?” she asked, nearly jumping when she heard how deep and gravelly her voice had become. Then she noticed her elongated fangs and yelped, raising her hands up to feel them.
Nikolai nudged her with his great body, rubbing his head against her stomach, and then moved forward, herding her along with him. Instinctively Julia knew this was the moment she had both dreaded and anticipated by turns. The wolves around her knew it too and gave a great howl.
The family of wolves exploded in a flurry of movement, running off into the dark heart of the great forest. Their large golden alpha led them on their hunt.
His mate was beside him every step of the way.
