Chapter 5

She was looking right into his face when a curious rainbow shimmer changed him into a huge black wolf. Her hands gripped the furry sides of his muzzle and he yelped and jumped back.

She sat up quickly and pulled the blanket around her.

“You bastard. You’re not even a man. What are you?”

He whined and stepped closer. She held up a hand to ward him off.

“Don’t even think about it. What the hell are you?”

She felt tears starting and bared her teeth to keep them back.

“How could you? We just—I just slept with you and you’re not even a man! Is this some kind of a joke?”

He shimmered again and knelt before her as a man.

“I am a man and a wolf. My people are vulfen.”

“Your people? You said you grew up in Paris! Paris is a city full of humans!”

She was shouting and sobbing. He grabbed her and pulled her up against his chest. She struggled for a moment before her arms went around him and clung.

“Please, Maressa, it is no joke. You must not cry. Call me names. Call me anything. It rips my heart to know that I have caused you to shed a singled tear.” He cradled her against him and she burrowed in. “You must not cry.”

“I can’t.” She sniffed. “I can’t stop. I don’t know how to stop. I don’t know what you are.”

“Maressa, you are breaking my heart in two. This is only the beginning. It can work between us, you will see. Just give me a chance.” He pulled back, smoothed away the welling tears with his thumbs, leaned in to kiss her wet mouth. “Give me a chance.”

“Stop,” she said. “If you talk any more, I’ll give you another chance even if it doesn’t make any sense, just because I want to so bad.”

“I hope that you do want to,” he said with a painful tenderness. “It is only right between us.”

“Right now there is nothing between us,” she said and spoiled it by sniffling. “We’re not even the same species.”

“There is truth between us,” he said, his hands like iron bands around her arms. “We are compatible. I understand that it will come as a shock.”

“A shock? I can’t believe this. How can it be that—what are you, a werewolf? There really are werewolves? I thought that was just in movies but I felt your fur. There really are werewolves. Why didn’t you bite me?”

“I wanted to,” he muttered and she stiffened.

“Back off,” she said and held up a hand that shook. “No biting.”

He lifted his hands, palms out, and smiled as if to say that she was safe. She might have believed it, except that his fangs were still prominent and the tips of his fingers glinted as if with claws.

Maressa cleared her throat and dashed her tears away with impatient hands.

“Why did you show me? I have to know. Why me if it’s such a big secret that no one has even heard of you guys? Why me?”

Ives cupped her chin, lifted her face.
