“You don’t have to say a thing. I understand more than most people how overwhelming it can get,” Father Thomas said. Then he patted my head affectionately. “For all intents and purposes from here on out, you are one of us.”I walked along the reservation with Brandon, his giant arm hung over my shoulders, greeting everyone who came forward to meet us. I met with the rest of the elders, let them pat me on my head, welcome me with their words, and feeling a little bit better each time I exchanged words with them.“Are you ready?” Brandon asked.“To meet your parents?” I asked.“Yes,” Brandon said as we headed up to his quaint little house. The house sat at the edge of a calm and green lake. The water was so clear that I could see through to the bottom of the lake. From the garage, I heard grunting sounds coming from behind a truck.I headed inside after Brandon. Brandon knocked on the truck’s door and said, “Dad! Alice’s here.”Brandon’s dad was a handsome man, rugged and muscular. He r

The only thing that I wanted to feel was him. I scanned the horizon for any signs of people. When I was certain that that were no peeping toms nearby, I lay on top of Brandon and enveloped his lips in a passionate kiss.Then I lowered myself to his neck, kissing away at all the taut muscles. I traced my fingers along his chest, reaching down to his shorts.“Baby!” he gasped. “Not here. My house is right there. My parents might be watching,” he said.I got off him and lay in the sand, laughing at his concern.Changed, dry, and tired, we were headed to my house in Brandon’s truck.“Eventful day,” he said.“And now you’re going to return the favor. Come meet my mom,” I said.“Are you sure we can’t do it any other day? I’m high-key nervous. Last time your mom and I met, she told me to stay away,” he said.“Well, that was because of me. She doesn’t bear you any ill will. Come in and see,” I said, holding him by the hand and dragging him inside my house.“Mom!” I called as I entered the hou

“Aren’t they gonna be mad?” Alice asked nervously. We were walking along the road, leaving the rest of the team back at the diner, where they were cheering each other, drinking milkshakes, making out with the cheerleaders, and running back the details of the match to each other with exaggeration.“Hey, I gave it my all. I made us win. I think they can let us be for a little while,” I said. I just wanted to walk with her, far from the madding crowd. To be with her was celebration enough. When my coach asked me after the match how I had overcome all the odds and won, I didn’t tell him the true answer. I didn’t tell him that I was channeling the strength and passion that Alice had instilled in me. I just told him that I kept my head down, practiced a lot, and it all finally paid off. That was good enough for him. The coach was happy with the trophy. My team was happy with the scholarship offers.I was happy with Alice.“You ever sometimes think about portals opening up and taking you som

“And you’re saying we can be as loud here as we want?” Alice said as she kissed my cheeks.“Why don’t we give it a try?” I whispered in her ear.The next couple of things happened a little too fast to recount. She pulled off my pants before I could sit up straight. Then she was on top of me, kissing my chest, running her fingers on my abs, lowering her reach into my underpants.I reciprocated, feeling her body in my firm grasp, rubbing her back, entering her panties with my hands.Down there, she was warm and wet. I pleased her with my fingers, tracing to where she felt the most pleasure. I let her moan wildly as I picked up the pace. I closed my eyes and relaxed as she grabbed my shaft and began stroking softly. Then, she was gone.The next thing I knew, I felt soft lips on the tip of my penis, gently brushing against my cock. I let out a moan as Alice’s mouth wrapped around my penis, sucking lightly, slobbering it with spit. It was a pleasure that was driving me wild.I could not le

I clung to the post of the tower, trying to think of what to do. All of these men were masked, all of them in SWAT gear that seemed impenetrable. The only positive to this was that Brandon wasn’t here. Maybe he won’t die after all. Maybe it would be me.As these nameless, faceless, black-uniformed men closed their ranks around the tower, I felt fear freezing my extremities. Were these the DOPC that Brandon had mentioned? If so, why were they here?I closed my eyes and called to Brandon in my heart, hoping that the bond we shared would prove its usefulness.Don’t come down here. The DOPC is here. Run!Right as I’d sent this telepathic message to Brandon, one of the uniformed men came up to me, holding a scanner of sorts to my face. Another grabbed me by the throat and pushed me against the post so I wouldn’t move.It was pointless to scream.As the soldier with the scanner scanned my face, I called out to Brandon again.“Fellas, is there something wrong here? I mean, it’s just me and m

You give yourself far less credit than you deserve. You have within you the gift of transformation. With it comes the power to heal. The power to wield nature as you see fit.“I know. It’s what they call being a latent wolf. Except, now it’s too late and I haven’t ever learned how to turn or anything. I think I’m better off dead,” I said.But what of the loved ones you leave behind? He mourns. What of your mother when she finds out? The anguish shall make her adjourn.“You’re not making this easy on me.”Such is life. Never meant to be easy. Not for the faint-hearted.“I shall go,” I said.Wise choice, child.“Hey, do you know my dad? Briar Hawkins?” I asked in a desperate attempt to make sense of things.The wolf did not respond. He disappeared in smoke. The water beneath my feet dried up, leaving nothing but pitch black beneath me. I looked up and saw that the moon had dissolved into nothingness.14BrandonHow could I have been so careless?How could I have completely forgotten abo

But it was done now. My dear Alice was a werewolf just like me.The Ritual had healed her beautifully, saving her life, preserving her form, and transforming her into the wolf she was always meant to be.As Alice howled, I shifted and came to my mate’s side.Alice was even more beautiful in her wolf form. Her fur was light in color, shining in the moonlight as she pounced on the soldiers. I could not stay behind. Not worried any longer about her life, I threw myself into the horde of soldiers, dismembering them with merciless brutality.They had drawn first blood. They had attacked. They had effectively killed Alice. They did not deserve my mercy.I fought to kill.As did Alice.I could see her tearing heads, slicing limbs, disemboweling the guts of all the soldiers within her reach. Bullets could not harm her now. Especially since she was just coming into her powers. As her body was still adapting to her new form, it was healing itself faster than any bullet that came flying her way

15AliceThe loose-fitting clothes were the least of my concern. I had just come back from the dead. I had just shifted for the first time in my life. Raw power coursed through my body. It might as well be the adrenaline after the fight we just had. It might be my new form running overtime to heal me from the toll the bullets had taken on my body. Whatever it was, I felt infinite.The events that had just happened were all a little too rushed and fast for me to process them in their entirety. So, instead of focusing on what had happened, I chose to follow Brandon. He had more experience in this sort of thing.Piling the corpses on top of each other was a nauseating task. I barely had any control over myself when I shifted. I remembered that I was attacking the soldiers. I did not remember that I had murdered so many in cold blood. It wasn’t as if they didn’t deserve it. I could recall the brutality with which they had pinned me, made me get down on my knees and later shot me with no r

I agreed. It was the right thing to do, especially since they had prisoners. I wondered if Brandon’s parents were all right. My heart worried for the elders of the pack. They were so old, so frail … what if the DOPC had attacked the reservation?“I’ll say this about our quarry. No two wolves could have caused this much damage. They took fifty of our best men out without barely breaking a sweat. And where are they?” the soldier asked the captain.“They’ve fled, by the looks of it, rabid dogs that they are,” the captain said. “You see why we have to put an end to them, don’t you?”“Now more so than ever, sir,” the soldier said. “I trained with so many of these men at West Point, Langley, Quantico. All over the place. These were my brothers.”If they were so fraternal, they should have thought twice about signing up for a cause that kills innocent creatures, Brandon said hotly.Calm down, Brandon. We cannot afford to give away our location, I said.We watched silently from our perches as

16BrandonSmoke came from the reservation and where there’s smoke, there’s fire. It wasn’t just the reservation that had fallen to the DOPC. From where I sat perched, I could see the entire town and beyond it. My keen senses allowed me to hear what was far away and see what was ordinarily concealed.They had indeed attacked several fronts and not just my own. I could sense that they had attacked other packs in the vicinity. A wolf has a way of knowing. It’s how we tell apart one pack from another; it’s how we choose to stay away from each other to avoid unnecessary bloodshed.But alas, blood had been shed.I could not decide on whether to head immediately to the reservation or see to all the peril that was being caused around Rapid Falls. Below me, I could see police cars racing along the otherwise quaint, calm, and peaceful roads. Cops patrolled the streets. There were news vans in the town square. I wondered what fiction the government’s most insidious branch, the DOPC, had told th
