We’re sorry for your loss and hope this helps in the days ahead.

It was signed Regina Florents.

She lived over the hill, and I remembered her coming over to have tea with Nonna in the winter, and lemonade on the front porch in the summer.

They probably had keys to each other’s homes. Probably had for decades.

That day, after eating and taking a shower, I’d driven into town, took a look around Nonna’s herb shop. She’d had it since I could remember. I was pretty sure it was one of the first shops in the town, first being a general store, and then slowly narrowing its focus into just herbs.

She owned the building and had remodeled it way back then into several shops, hers being in the middle. There was now a beauty salon, a sporting goods store, and a trendy looking coffee shop.

I’m not sure why, but I opened the shop and started working in the shop. She had regular customers, and I’d done my fair share of working in the shop in my teen years. Somehow, it just made me feel like she wasn’t really gone.

Now, walking out into the night-shadowed woods, I saw that I had just been deluding myself.

She wasn’t coming back, and no matter what I told myself, I was just staying here to not feel her loss.

I would kill the thing that killed her, and then I would go to Ty, the local pack Alpha, and ask him to end me.

I hoped he would see how necessary it was, for me, for everyone else too. For their safety.

I stood in the middle of a stand of trees, right where Nonna had been found a few weeks before.

But I didn’t feel anything…

Not angry, not guilty…

I felt numb.

And that’s when the creature showed itself.

Tall, willowy, and unearthly.

I tightened my hold on the carving knife.

But as it came closer, it seemed to change. Its stark lines turning to feminine curves, its naked, husk-like skin turning to soft, silky flesh, a sheer gown of green draping from her shoulders—she was a vision.

Somehow I knew, just knew she’d been here a long time, in this land, and she’d been so happy to find my grandmother. She’d fed from her magic and her animal for a full cycle of the moon.

I didn’t find that disturbing, and I was no longer angry.

I was just standing there, staring at her, waiting for her to tell me what she wanted me to do.

Like she was…

My master…

She smiled as that thought whispered through my mind. Her lips were blue and cold looking, but also delicious looking.

She came closer and I felt my body respond to her. My pulse quickened, my flesh burned and my cock hardened.

She reached out toward me and I thought, for just a moment, of the knife in my hand…

But it was gone, and so was… well, whatever else I’d had in my other hand.

I looked into her eyes, and the frosty green made me think of frozen swamp water.

You are mine… came a coarse whisper in my mind.
