"Wanna go take a shower? I smell like a wet dog."
It'd been three months since Maura had saved Jane from Dr. Erin Hayes' lab. And the biologist had come sniffing around the Boston Police Department multiple times, asking if they'd be checking into the break-ins since the wolf had, after all, originally been killing in their jurisdiction, meaning any interested parties would likely be from the area. Jane had told her that they would, in fact, follow-up on any leads that they got, but that the Seattle PD would likely have a better chance of tracking the perp down.
The women were just glad when the doctor had finally stopped coming around or shooting emails. Jane had the wolf under control, Korsak and Frost had come to terms with her secret and her skills had made her an even better cop than she already was. Annnnddd she had actually convinced Maura to let her watch over the city. Jane wanted to know if there were any other supernatural creatures out there. But that's also when Hayes had started contacting them again; curious about a wolf that had been spotted numerous times saving people. Everyone knew it was no ordinary beast.
"You do smell rather unpleasant after that workout." Maura chimed in with complete honesty as she followed Jane into the bathroom and stripped down to climb in.
Jane chuckled and stripped down as well, throwing her hair into a bun to avoid getting it wet and then climbing in herself. Looking down into Maura's hazel eyes, the detective smiled. "I love you." She whispered then kissed the doctor lightly.
Maura wrapped her arms around Jane's waist as she returned the gesture. "I love you, too." She smiled. "I bet I smell horrible right now, though. Like the morgue." While Jane had just finished with a workout, Maura had just gotten home from finishing an autopsy.
"You do smell like the dead." Jane chuckled, almost losing it at Maura's pout. "But we'll wash that right off and have you smelling much differently in a jiffy."
A smirk pulled at the corner of Maura's lips. "Like what exactly, Jane?"
Jane grinned and pulled Maura close. "Let's put it this way: the moans I'm going to hear from your mouth tonight will sound even better to me with those sensitive ears." She dipped her head low and captured the other woman's lips in her own.
Maura guided Jane backwards toward the wall and kissed her deeply, the detective growling against her lips before picking the woman up by her thighs, her hands going to both ass cheeks to squeeze. The doctor wrapped her legs around Jane and groaned before she brushed her lips along the brunette's strong jaw. Then she dipped her head down to kiss and suck on her neck.
Jane moaned as Maura branded her then moved her mouth to the crook of Maura's neck. She bit down to leave her own mark, not breaking the skin just wanting to turn the woman on even more. Maura whimpered and rolled her hips against her lover, wanting contact a lot lower. "Touch me, Jane. Make me scream your name." She dared, leaning back to look into Jane's eyes, her pupils dilated.
Jane's eyes were glowing gold. "Oh I will." Turning, she slammed Maura against the wall and moved one hand to her core, the other supporting her weight. As she entered her, Jane's mouth went down around the blonde's nipple and sucked hard then nibbled.
Maura grunted as her back hit the wall and cried out in pleasure, rocking her hips against the detective. She arched her back and bit her lip as she pulled Jane's hair from the bun, tangling her hands in dark unruly curls. The detective was amazing at everything she did, so it didn't take too long before her ministrations pushed Maura over the edge in an earth shattering orgasm that did, in fact, have her screaming the dark haired woman's name.
When they finished, Jane gently brought the woman down from her high and smiled. She kissed Maura deeply and pulled out, but kept holding her up. "I love it when you scream my name." She chuckled then carried the doctor out of the shower and to the
bedroom.
Maura laughed and once on the bed, pulled Jane down with her. "You're so good it's hard not to." She winked and kissed the detective softly.
That night Jane sat on top of a building downtown to watch below her. It was late when she heard a scream then laughing and growling. Brows furrowed right before she turned into her wolfself and started jumping from building to building to get to it. Stopping over a dark alley, she looked down and could see three men going after a woman. Leaping down from the roof between the girl and men, she snarled and quickly noticed their eyes were glowing.
A blonde man in the group grinned, white fangs flashing under the full moon light. "And what do we have here? A stray that needs to be taken to the pound and euthanized? You just cost us an easy dinner."
He waved for the two with him to circle the beast and stepped forward. "That is, unless you wanted a bite yourself? In which case, we don't share with mutts." The vampires from the sides charged.
Jane snarled and stood on her hind legs, catching both vamps by the throat then slamming them together in front of her before throwing them at the blonde. Leaping over them, she sunk her claws into the brick above and hid in the shadows waiting to pounce.
The blonde, James, leapt out of the way and snarled at the others. "You idiots! Go find her!" The two vampires on the ground scrambled to get up and ran off in the direction Jane had disappeared. James slowly turned himself in a circle. "Come on, dog! Let's play a little game!"
Jane knew she was in deep shit but she wouldn't back down without a fight. Jumping down behind him she slowly rose up on her hind legs and growled deeply
James spun to face Jane with a smirk. "I hope you like tug of war, mutt." The other two vampires had circled back and one jumped on the wolf's back, wrapping his arms around her neck, right under the jaw, and tugging with a lot of force; enough to
take her head completely off if she didn't get him off soon.
Jane snarled and reached back to grab the vampire off of her. She couldn't stand there and let them do this to her. She had a girlfriend to get back home to. After tossing him aside, she moved quickly so she was now facing the other and took his face in her mouth.
The vampire's screams were muffled by Jane's mouth covering his face and James came up behind her, grabbing her by the tail to pull her back and swing her around. He slammed her into a tree hard enough to shatter ribs and cause internal damage. Then he headed over to the injured vamp, pointing behind himself. "Finish her." The other uninjured vamp made his way over to the wolf.
Jane whined when she hit the tree. Her vision was blurry and going dim but she followed the glow of their eyes. The moment the vamp got close enough, she lashed out almost blindly and sunk her teeth into his chest and back. Once she realized she had him, she clamped down breaking his spine in half and piercing his heart.
The vampire in her mouth hollered and then went limp. James spun his head in their direction and snarled as she dropped him. Then he watched Jane collapse to the ground, pretty badly injured. "We will hunt you down, wolf." He gathered his comrade and disappeared into the night.
Jane whimpered and dug her claws into the dirt. "Maura..." She thought before closing her eyes.

Maura awoke the next morning to an empty bed and began to worry that Jane had run into trouble. She got dressed and was about to head out to look for her girlfriend when there was a knock on her door. She swung it open to a worried Korsak. "I've got Jane in the car still in wolf form. One of my CIs spotted her this morning and called me."
She could feel the fear building in her chest. "Bring her to the back."
Jane was barely conscious and winced in pain as she was moved. However, the moment Maura touched her side to examine it, Jane sat up quickly and gripped the blonde by her throat, snarling; thinking it was one of the vamps.
Korsak quickly moved to try and get Maura away. "No, Jane! Don't hurt her! It's Maura!" Jane had the doctor by the throat too tightly for her to say anything. Her eyes wide as she looked into her lover's eyes, hoping her girlfriend would quickly snap out of it.
The pain made her hazy, but Jane did realize it was Maura and let go quickly. Slamming back down onto the couch she whimpered again, her paw resting on Maura's thigh
Maura covered Jane's hand with her own and squeezed it very gently, leaning down to whisper in her ear to soothe her. "I'm going to take care of you, baby. I just need you to stay really still and let me examine you." She resumed her work, Korsak watching.
"The damage, doc?"
Maura looked over at him. "Definitely some broken ribs and internal bleeding. Jane heals quickly, but I may need to get her some more help."
Jane moved her massive arm and winced at the touch. She moved her paw up to Maura's cheek when she finished. Jane knew that if she turned to her human self she would die, especially if she was in this much pain as a wolf.
The doctor placed her hand over Jane's paw and looked down into her lover's eyes. "Jane, for you to be in this much pain and for there to be this much swelling, you must have severe internal bleeding. That needs to be corrected by surgery. I don't have the equipment needed to help you."
The wolf shook her head and Maura sighed. "Do you think you'll be able to heal on your own?"
Jane nodded and Maura pet her head soothingly, hoping to relax her a little more. Once Maura made sure Jane was comfy enough, she headed to the bathroom to grab some pain meds and then walked back towards the kitchen to get a bowl of water. She crushed up the pills and dropped the remnants into the bowl, carrying it over to her girlfriend.
"What do you think happened to her?" Korsak asked as he watched.
"Knowing Jane, probably something stupidly heroic."
He chuckled. "Yep, that's our Jane."
The wolf looked at the bowl then up at Maura. Slowly, she began to lap the water up. Jo Friday soon came over and jumped up on the couch, Jane's massive paw resting around the small dog. Once she was done, Maura set the bowl aside and watched the little dog curl up against the wolf. Mech wasn't far behind and he sniffed Jane over, licking at her wounded areas. Maura smiled and kissed the top of Jane's head before standing. "Thank you, Vince, for bringing her home to me. You're welcome to stay awhile if you'd like. Are you hungry or anything?"
Jane looked at the wolf pup and patted his head before drifting off to sleep. Vince stood. "Nah, I'm gonna go. I know Jane is in good hands. You just keep me updated, okay?" He smiled. "Call me if you need me, doc."
"Of course." She smiled in return. "I'm sure we'll be fine, but thank you." Maura walked him to the door and then took a seat in the chair next to Jane once he was gone. She watched the dogs snuggle against the detective as she slept and then Maura curled up in her own seat to watch the news.
The girl that Jane saved was on the news telling her story. "I was being chased by three men last night. I just know they were going to kill me but before they really got the chance this huge black wolf with golden eyes jumped outta nowhere and saved my life. It matches the description of the one that's been helping all those other people."
Maura smiled and looked over at her big, bad wolf. She knew Jane had saved yet another person from harm. Since she'd been watching over the city, like Batman as she proudly like to put it, Jane had saved many from muggings, rape, God only knows what else. Maura wasn't happy that she had taken on something horrible by herself, but she was still proud of her for saving that girl. Without Jane, she wouldn't be on the news right now.
When night had fallen, Maura shooed Jo and Mech off to their own beds and leaned down to whisper in Jane's ear. "If you think you can make it up there, you can come sleep in bed with me. But you are so sweeping up the dog hair later when you're better."
Jane opened her eye and nodded. Slowly getting up she made her way up the stairs and got into bed with her girlfriend. Jane laid on her good side behind Maura and spooned her, her chin resting on the blonde's head. Silently, she drew lightly on Maura's palm with her claw: a heart.
Maura closed her eyes and smiled. "I love you, too." She turned to face the wolf and kissed Jane's snout quickly before burying her face in fur and drifting off to sleep.
Jane woke up the next morning with a yawn and stretched. She had turned back into her human form during the night, after she'd healed fully. Seeing Maura, she smirked and kissed her forehead.
Maura mumbled something incoherent and cracked open an eye. "Jane!" She sat up quickly and kissed her detective soundly. "It appears someone is feeling better. Are you all healed? Feeling any pain whatsoever?"
"I feel great, baby." She smiled and kissed her again, wrapping her arms around her tightly. "Mm, you slept with a wolf in your bed. Never thought you would ever do that, huh?"
Maura laughed and shook her head. "Never. But you were nice and toasty to curl up to. However, I wasn't a fan of the drooling." She smirked. "The girl you saved the other night, she was talking about you on the news. I'm proud of you, Jane, for saving her, but what were you thinking? Taking those men on by yourself?"
Jane smiled softly. "I heard her screaming. I couldn't just watch and do nothing, Maur. I'm a cop and I should be using what I have to help, not kill or watch others be killed. I have no back up. I'm alone when I'm Swiftkill. They were vampires, Maura... no human can face them without being killed. It was either me or let that girl die."
"Vampires?" Maura sat up against the headboard and sighed. "I know you couldn't. You'd give up your own life to save another, take risks to catch the bad guys so they'll never hurt another living soul. It's a part of who you are and I love all of you, but it scares me to death sometimes. I just wish you had someone, something out there that could help you while you're a wolf."
Jane sat up next to her and took her hand, lacing their finger as Maura spoke. "Me too, babe. But until I find that someone, I'm a lone wolf. But I promise you I won't go looking for trouble, okay? I don't want to leave you."
Maura nodded. She could be the girlfriend who asked Jane to stop going out at night to protect the city, the girlfriend who requested Jane never wolf out again. But that's not the kind of girlfriend Jane needed, nor the kind of girlfriend she was. Maura knew Jane had to do what she felt was noble and right. And Maura would stand behind her. "Okay. I just want you to be as careful as possible. Do you think you'll have any more trouble with the vampires? Do you plan to confront them again?"
"I'll be careful, I promise." She sighed, remembering that night. She didn't want to tell her, but Jane didn't want Maura to have any surprises. "I killed one and wounded another, and the third said he would hunt me down. I remember that before
I passed out." She shook her head. "I don't understand why he didn't kill me while I was laying there, though. Why wait?" She whispered as she thought.
Maura furrowed her brow. "Maybe he thought it would be un-sportsman like to kill you while you were down. Maybe the hunt is the fun of it." She sighed, all sorts of thoughts running through her head. "I'm just glad he didn't kill you."
Jane nodded. "I'm just an animal to hunt." She sighed. "I'm glad he didn't either because I'd much rather be here with you." She took a deep breath and let it out. "I don't care how many he brings with him to hunt me down. I will kill them all. Every
time I'm hurt, I get stronger." She looked at Maura. "I will protect you."
Maura shook her head. "I'm not worried about myself. I'm worried about you. It sounds like he may come at you with everything he's got." She took a deep breath and let it out slowly. "You're not just an animal, Jane. I wonder how spiteful vampires are." She looked into her lover's eyes. "What was it like fighting them? They're obviously strong."
"They... are pretty damn spiteful. They're assholes. They come at you from all angles. You have to be fast to even keep up with them. Brawn shouldn't be the only thing you rely on. Speed and brains is what you need." She shook her head. "They have
bright eyes. One inch fangs and they're freakin' sarcastic as hell."
The blonde tilted her head. "Sarcastic? They sound like interesting foes." She shook her head. "Not that that's a good thing. Speed, strength, intelligence. They sound like you."
"Well all we really know is that the myths about vamps and lycan's are true. They don't get along too well." She sighed and wrapped her arm around Maura's shoulders, pulling her closer.
Maura cuddled into Jane's side. "I'm sure they could. I can't imagine all vampires are alike. Maybe there's some out there that don't drink human blood, that are good like you."
"Maybe." The detective smiled and kissed her head. "If you had to be any kind of creature like a lycan or a vampire... what would you be?"
"I really enjoy being human." Maura smiled. "But if I had to choose, I'd be a lycan. Like you." She kissed Jane's cheek. "Although I'm not as strong as you are. It'd probably take me longer to get a grip on transforming at will."
Jane grinned. "Good choice." She smirked and held her closer. "It's difficult but I learned and it actually doesn't hurt to do it anymore."
"That's definitely a plus." Maura smiled and wrapped her arms around Jane's midsection. "You're not going out tonight, are you? You did just heal."
Jane shook her head. "No, no going out. I'm yours tonight." She smiled and kissed her head.
Maura smiled brightly and looked up at Jane. "Good. So would you like to stay in or go out today?" She heard some scratching at the door and got up to head toward it. "It's probably Mech. I'll take them out to potty. You think about what you'd like to do today."
Jane looked up and heard Mech whining at the door at a pitch Maura couldn't hear. "Okay, baby." She laid down lower and stretched. "Alright, I'll think of something. I love you." She said watching her girlfriend walk out of the room.
"I love you, too." Maura smiled and opened the door to an excited Mech who ran full speed to jump on the bed and lick Jane. The doctor laughed as she watched Jane get taken by surprise. "I'll go get Jo ready. I'll be back for you, Mech." With that, she headed out to grab the smaller of the two canines.
Jane laughed and caught her son in her arms and tried to hide her face only for Mech to reach it with his tongue. He was getting big. Then she chuckled and sat up. Slowly putting her head back, she let out a howl only to get Mech to follow along with her.
Maura got Jo's collar and leash on and started to head back to the bedroom with Mech's when she heard Jane howl, followed by Mech's cute response. She poked her head into the doorway and smiled. "You two are too cute. Now come here, Mech. Come here, boy." She said in a slightly higher pitch, patting her knee. Once Mech was all leashed up, she took them out, came back in when they were finished and jumped back in bed with Jane. "Did you decide, baby?"
Jane put on her tank and sweat pants and was laying on top of the covers when Maura came back; one hand under her head and the other right underneath the bottom hem of her top, the brunette smirking. "I thought that maybe we could go out. A predate date."
Maura raised a brow. "A predate date? I've never heard of such a thing." She leaned down to kiss Jane's neck.
"Yeah, well, you've never dated me til now." Jane hummed at the kiss.
"Hmm true. We should probably get going soon." Maura's eyes slowly trailed down curves. "Because you're looking pretty tempting." She smirked.
Jane looked up at her with bright gold eyes. "Yeah?" She grinned and moved her hand a bit higher, showing off her six pack. "So should we come back here before you take me out because I really don't wanna change outta this. I'm comfy."
Maura's eyes went to Jane's abs and she pouted slightly before smacking her lover's stomach playfully. "Don't tease me. You don't have to change into anything else, baby. We can stay low key tonight. Plus..." She lowered her head and stopped just a hair's breadth away from Jane's lips. "You look sexy as is."
Jane chuckled and kissed her lips. "Mm, low key it is. We could def go to Merch like this." She brought the doctor down for a real kiss.
Maura kissed Jane deeply and then smiled. "We could. Would you dance with me at the club?"
"I would." Jane smiled.
Maura smirked. "Let's go grab lunch before anything else." She stood and pulled Jane up, grabbing her purse and cell. "There's a new Thai place I'd like to try if you're up for it."

They had a good lunch at the new restaurant and then spent the day doing things they both loved. After it'd been dark for a couple of hours, they headed to Merch for drinks and dancing. The way they grinded against each other certainly earned them some jealous stares. When it was last call, they headed out of the bar and out towards the car.
It was then a loud female scream could be heard from a nearby alley way. Maura slipped her hand into the one resting over her shoulder and looked up at her girlfriend. "Jane…"
Jane became alert to the sounds immediately. She squeezed Maura's hand and kissed her softly. Handing her the keys, she put her hands on Maura's shoulders. "Get in the car. Lock the doors and drive. I don't care where. Just do it. It's them." She cringed hearing another scream. "Go. Go now. I love you."
"Be careful, Jane. I love you, too." Maura got in and drove off towards home, hoping Jane wouldn't get badly injured again or worse.
Jane made sure Maura was gone before she ran to the side of a building. Then she changed and jumped onto a garbage dumpster before jumping onto a fire escape and making her way to the roof. Stalking on the rooftop, she spotted the vampires in the alley.
And with a snarl, she jumped down and tackled one of them.
