A wolf howled at the moon.

Another prowled through the dark woods, it's head cocked, turning from side to side.

One stood watch over a small two-story house, it's eyes gleaming in the inky darkness.

And one last wolf, a russet colored wolf with large, liquid brown eyes stared dully off into space, it's eyes not seeing the brightly shining stars so far away.

A car rumbled past on a road, its' lone passenger sleepy and tired, not knowing that a wolf as large as a bear was turning quickly and softly back into a human barely a yard from him.

He was on the beach, on the white driftwood tree that had become their place.

How he missed her.

She wasn't too far away.

Only about five miles.

But it might as well have been five thousand.

She was too far away for him to reach her.

Too far away forever.

Soon she wouldn't be the one he knew.

Soon she wouldn't be the one he had spent so much time with.

Soon she wouldn't be the one he loved.

He slammed a fist down on the tree.

A piece of bark broke off, fell to the sandy floor and was carried away by the dark waters.

He wanted to be carried away.

He didn't want to return.

Not if she wouldn't be here.

She thought his love wasn't true,

Wasn't real.

But it was.

It was as real as the blood-sucker's, as real as any fairy-tale prince's love.

But she wouldn't believe it.

She would never believe it.

She was simply an infatuation, for him, she thought.

He would get over it.

No.

He wouldn't.

Not now.

Not soon.

Not later.

Not ever.

He would never get over it.

Because he loved her.

God, how he loved her.

More than anything he had ever loved.

She wouldn't accept his love.

But he would keep loving her.

Until he died.

After he died.

He would love her forever.

A russet brown wolf looked up at the stars, seeing them for the first time that night.

A part of him would always be with her.

Because he loved her.

" I wonder, when you look into my eyes and watch my heart shatter, does it break your heart too, even crack it a little bit?"
