Chapter Two

“There’s no full moon. There’s supposed to be a full moon.” Helen’s skin itched with nervous energy. They were in a forest in the middle of nowhere, just her and Wally.

He started pulling off his sweater.

“What are you doing?”

“Getting naked. You can’t change into wolf form while you’re dressed. Well, you can but the shift in mass will shred everything and you’ll be riding home naked.”

“You didn’t say anything about naked,” she blurted out.

“Didn’t want to throw you off your game.” He grinned and undid his belt buckle.

He removed all his clothing as if it was no big deal. Helen knew she was staring and couldn’t help herself. Wally was just…huge. His arms were thick and defined. His pecs popped beneath a dusting of brown hair that arrowed down to…oh my.

“Growing up were, you get used to being naked for pack runs.” His voice was deeper than usual, quiet and intimate. “Want me to turn my back?”

“Yes,” she muttered and stared at his round, hard ass as she yanked off her clothes. Grabbing his t-shirt off the ground, she held it in front of herself. For the last week, since waking up in hospital, Helen had felt…different. All her life she’d been alone in her head and that was the way it was supposed to be.

Wally looked at the t-shirt but didn’t comment. “Quiet your thoughts. You’re two creatures now, separate yet together. Hear your inner wolf.”

“My inner what?”

“Work with me here. Just listen.” Wally breathed slow and even. “She’s instinctual rather than intellectual. She’s also the reason you survived, so show her some gratitude by letting her out for a run.”

Helen shut her eyes and matched her breathing to his.

“Let your conscious mind recede. Your wolf will know what to do. The physical change will hurt but only for a few seconds.”

“Now you tell me,” she mumbled, as if she was drifting to sleep. Suddenly it felt as if her sinews were snapping free and she dropped to her hands and knees. She cried out and didn’t recognize the sound of her voice. Her tongue felt thick, her jaw became unbearably heavy—until her neck muscles expanded with a screaming ache and absorbed the weight.

The pain stopped. Everything looked too sharp, too close. She took a step, stumbled, and stared at the four splayed limbs supporting her.

A solid weight pressed into her side and she leaned into it, managing to stay upright. She smelled strength and turned to the huge brown wolf beside her. He ran his long snout over hers, huffed, then pawed the ground.

Helen’s wolf took a step and tripped. Remembering,
