“Please sit down on the bed over there,” said the doctor, pointing in the direction. She was an older lady and quite pretty for her age, her most notable feature being her gentle eyes. She had introduced herself as Doctor Melissa Chambers. “Kieran, did you want to sit in the chair?” she asked without looking. A question met with a second of awkward silence between the two of us. We hadn’t discussed him being in the room whilst I was examined. I’d just assumed that, like human doctors, they normally were more of a private thing unless the person was a spouse or relative. But before any of us could talk, the doctor quickly shook her head. “Oh, right, I forgot… I suppose just wait outside then.” “No… hang on,” I said, hesitating. “Kieran should probably be here. You know… in case I don’t understand parts of what you tell me. I may need him to help explain later….” I then turned to look at him. “If that’s okay with you?” He nodded. “Of course,” he said. “Whatever is most comfortabl

“…Is that a phone?” he asked, still appearing shocked. “…Yes?” And he immediately walked over to me, starting to scan the area around us. Almost as if he were checking to see if anyone else had seen me. “Quickly put it away,” he said. “What’s wrong, Kieran?” I asked the question but still did what he requested, stuffing it back into my pocket. “Communication and recording devices like that aren’t allowed here,” he said. “It’s the only way we keep ourselves safe. They potentially jeopardise our entire kind’s secrecy. You’d be best to just leave it switched off in your suitcase and don’t let anyone know you have it.” …I guess that made sense. I’d been wondering myself how they’d managed to keep their existence so unknown all this time. If someone started taking videos of people turning into wolves, I could see how that would quickly uncover the truth. “I’m sorry… I didn’t know,” I said. “My friend was worried about where I disappeared to. I just called to let them know I was safe

“What are you doing back here?” Kieran asked. “Did you get lost?”I took a small breath and tried to think on my words, but there wasn’t really any way around this. It was pretty obvious what I was doing.“Your uh… Your uncle asked for a drink,” I said, holding it up a little to show him. “I was looking for the kitchen.”“And he asked you to get it for him?”“…Yes.”Silence.I tapped my nails against the glass in my hand as I awkwardly stood there, unsure if I was about to get another lecture about something I was never told about. A reoccurring situation that was becoming more frustrating.“Raven… that’s not your job. Especially not as my… guest. We have attendants to help with that which he should already know.”“Ok… but *I* didn’t know that and you weren’t there,” I snapped back. “I was trying to be polite. In a human city, it’s not that uncommon for someone to ask this. Especially for people who are important.”Countless times in my life had I fetched influential men drinks in ord

Everything moved quickly.It was as if all the things keeping us apart were now gone, and all that was left was the unsatiated desire that had been left to grow unchecked every day.And it… was a lot.A lot of pent-up emotions and yearnings. A lot of needs that were ignored.But, finally, it was time.Kieran had one hand pressed into my waist, his other holding my face as our lips moved in sync hungrily against each other. And all the while this was happening, I ran a hand down his chest, clutching at his shirt to bring his body closer. Pulling at him to envelop my entire body.There was nothing gentle in the way we grabbed at one another. No, it was urgent. Desperate. Almost as if we’d both been starving and there was now only one thing able to satisfy it.Just… pure instinctual lust. Nothing else.“Mine.”The word left my lips involuntarily. It was met with a growl of approval from him; the deep sound doing all sorts of inexplicable things to me inside. Already, I could feel that I

I awoke to the feeling of Kieran’s finger lightly tracing a pattern on my back.It was delicate, and yet I could feel the sparks follow wherever he touched, leaving a trail of warmth behind as he moved. It felt so nice that I could have easily fallen back to sleep again right then and there.“Good morning,” he said quietly behind me. My change in breathing must have given me away.But it was certainly a good morning, indeed. A very, very good morning. My body ached in all the right ways, the night’s exercise being a workout that scratched every itch imaginable. I was exhausted… yet so energised at the same time.“…’Morning,” I mumbled.I took a deep breath in and stretched my body out, feeling the full extent of my aches. However, unbeknownst to me, this was apparently an unspoken cue… because Kieran immediately moved in closer to encircle my body, holding me as we laid on our sides. And I turned my head to look up at him, meeting those hazel eyes.At some point last night, we had mad

“What about this one?” Allison asked, holding up a floor-length red gown.It was a little more elaborate than I normally wore. Typically, I leaned more towards subtle coloured dresses, ones that showed off my body without needing to be the brightest in the room. But this… this one was definitely a statement.…Not that it really mattered here, I guess. Maybe the new me could like brighter colours.“That’s fine. Just add it to the pile,” I said, nodding to where I’d thrown a few others.They were all laying on the cash register’s bench, ready for when I quickly checked out. I didn’t want to drag this out for any longer than I had to.But she gave me a strange look at that and hesitated instead.“…You’re not going to try it on first? I’d hate for you to buy something so expensive only for it to not fit. Or… we also have a few other stores that you might like. There’s no need to rush.”Oh, but I did.I was learning to suppress that feeling inside, the discomfort I felt from being around h

Over two weeks had gone by since I first came to the Ashwood pack.And things were going… pretty good, to be honest.There hadn’t been any major incidents since my arrival and, though there were certainly still a lot of adjustments yet to be made, I was settling in quite nicely. I was learning more every day and even had a routine now. Sort of.Most of my mornings were spent reading or exploring; though the latter entailed an escort after what happened in the town square. I’d also found a library inside the packhouse that helped educate me a little more, albeit there were still a lot of gaps in my knowledge. But I was getting better. Slowly. And I was getting healthier too. In fact, I couldn’t even remember the last time I’d felt a wave of real nausea. My head was finally starting to feel… clear.And as for Kieran…? Well… things between us couldn’t be better. Every day we had grown closer, discovering new things about the other. And when we weren’t shacked up in bed, we were usually o

…I couldn’t believe I was actually thinking of doing this. Again. I should have already learnt my lesson by now… no, I really shouldn’t be trying to make it stronger. I already knew how dangerous that side of me was. And yet Kieran looked at me with those puppy dog eyes, making it feel impossible to deny him. …So here I was. Contemplating doing the very thing I was sure would make him happier than it would make me. I knew he wanted me to be completely healthy again, to be able to do the things he could do, to try and… fix me. Which wasn’t a bad thing, per se. It was great. It’s just… I wasn’t sure if I was ready for that yet. This wasn’t like asking me something trivial. He was asking me to connect with a beast who had terrorised me for years. A shiver went through me as I recalled every time it had happened, remembering the blood and bodies. Remembering… the pain. Not even Kieran had been safe last time, it having lashed out at him as well. “I’ll be right here with you, I promi
