Wolf Unleashed

Her eyes fill with even more fear. Horror, even. Seems my words are only making things worse.

Shes struggling under me and shes tired, too. If shes mine before we make the journey to the house, itll comfort her. If I take her quickly it should calm her a little. Won it?

Tried to reach under her short skirt but she kept struggling and trembling, both from fear and from cold, I change my mind.

I can do this quickly. Id start and never want to stop. This isn the place. I want to savor her. And more importantly, I must put her needs first.

I growl with need at that delicious taste and she startles, looking at me with sheer fear.

Energy crackles in my veins. Need. I need…

”I need to be inside you. Youll feel better once Ive marked you, ” I assure her.

She stills and this makes me ponder whether I should wait or not

I don understand this female.

She lets out a cry of distress, her body trembling wildly, I know shell settle once Ive claimed her, but her skin is too chilled.

Im her mate. Its my job to take care of her. And shell be mine for always. Ive waited this long…

Its decided.

She needs warmth from proper shelter, so for her, Ill wait. Difficult as itll be, Ill make myself wait.

Ill take her there, build a fire, then Ill undress and claim her in the warmth. Cover her with my body. Fill her with my fire. Kiss every inch of her until shes keening for me, spread wide. Willing. Shell be warm and claimed soon. And thatll take care of everything.

Pain stretches through my groin at the notion of waiting. I need to get her there, now. Right now.

”Well go home, ” I say, taking a deep breath filled with her scent before stepping back and gesturing for her to come with me. I feel the chill of the ground as the wet earth squishes between my toes. ”Ill claim you there. ”

Her eyes dart down to my erect cock and then meet my eyes again. Shes afraid to come home with me. She doesn know Ill be a good mate. I will be. Ill always put her first.

She makes a squeaking sound as her eyes dart around wildly, calculating, looking for a way to escape. I don like that she feels this way; it creates sensations in my gut that are foreign and feel terrible.

I pick up her womans leather bag with a long loop strap on the floor in the back of the car. I pry the zipper halfway and peer inside the larger one. Clothing and electrical gadgets and cords as well as woman stuff: bottles, jars, tools for her hair, I think. She may want these. I lift things from the seat and floor that fell out of her smaller bag and stuff it in, then zip it up. I throw the straps over my neck and scoop her up as I puppy out of the car, immediately breaking into a run.

”No. No! Please! ” she objects, trying to wriggle out of my arms.

”Behave, Emerald milady Winston. ”

She doesn listen, she squirms harder, so I warn, ”If you make yourself fall and you get hurt, Ill be angry. Im already angry enough. ”

She needs warmth. Her body is far too cool. I won take the chance of making her ill. I will my body temperature to rise for her, but shes only over my shoulder so it won do enough.

”Clayton…Clayton? Right? Clayton, please. Listen… If we can just get to where I can make a call, I can have my car towed out of there and I won … won tell anyone about you. You can just go. You can just le-let me go Clay and I won say a word. Please Im sorry Clay. You haven done anything that wrong yet, only broke my window and stuff, and I…I don care about that. I have insurance. I just… please put me down and we can forget this ever happened. ”

She calls me clay- we are already bonding and giving each other nicknames. This union is gonna be wonderful.

I pick up my pace. I can cover a lot of ground quickly even if I don run as fast as a man as I do as wolf, but as I can carry her and her things as a wolf, this has got to be the way home. I was weary, and then angry at myself because shes cold and frightened, but now Ive got renewed strength at the notion that Im bringing Emerald with me.

Ive found the person to be mine, fill my bed, to give me sons and daughters. Uncle Clint said that not all hybrid shift, but some can, can become nearly as strong as their pure shifter fathers or mothers. Its not unheard of for humans and shifters to mate at all. When they
e destined, he said their offspring are strong. I know by her scent and how it makes me feel that shes my destined one.

My finding her happened with a hand from fate and perhaps even a witch, I suspect with the way the sky looks and the way the roads behaved tonight, but no matter… all that matters is that Ive got her and we
e heading home. I feel like someplace can be home.

This. This is what Im missing. This is what it means to be a man. Having a woman that is all yours. And that shes not wolf means she won feel that usual urge Uncle told me of, to join a pack like a typical female wolf shifter would. This is right. Shell accept my solo lifestyle. This is how its supposed to be for me.

I tell myself I must focus as a man, and find comfort in this form as this is who Im going to be most of the time. I need to get home in case my body shifts against my will again and gives her an opportunity to run from me. Its because of her fear. Once I claim her, shell know shes where shes meant to be, and Ill gain more clarity and more control over my form.

Shes bouncing in my arms, grunting out with distress as I run, zigzagging down through the woods that will take me back to where I first scented her. From there, it won take long for me to be home. I smell home and I always know how to get there. Now that Ive scented her, I know Ill always know how to find her, too.
