I don't own Criminal Minds

Enjoy

Once again at work, Spencer brushed away the sleepies from his eyes. It had been a long night and they didn't get back into the city until well into the early morning. With a big yawn, Spencer got up to get more coffee.

Morgan followed him into the break room with a big grin on his face. "Late night huh Reid?"

Spencer nodded and Morgan laughed, "Let me guess…a long night with Lois?"

Spencer looked up and silently cursed.

Crap, I lied to them about dating some girl named Lois. I won't be able to keep that charade for long…since I'm NOT dating."

"Uh…yeah sort of…we talked for a bit and well…we decided to stay friends…so yeah."

Morgan smile faded, "Aw man I'm sorry. Guess it was a long talk if you're so tired?"

"Yeah but that's how it is sometimes right?"

Morgan gave a warm smile and patted is back, "Don't worry about it Reid. There are other girls out there."

Spencer smiled and they walked back into the bullpen to finish their paperwork for the day. It was when Spencer got home that ne noticed something was off.

A wolf with red-colored fur was hiding behind his garbage can when he was taking out the garbage that evening.

With Spencer acute senses, he could tell it was not some lone animal but a werewolf.

Silently Spencer studied the creature, it looked tired and hungry. Not at all threatening but lonely.

Spencer nodded and he led the wolf inside before anyone could see them. Spencer took out some raw pork meat and some water and fed it to the werewolf.

"So you're a werewolf huh, I guess you realized too since you came to me."

The wolf nodded and ate the meat. "Can you change into a human when you're done?"

The wolf looked up and its ears fell, displaying sadness. "What's wrong…you can't change back."

The wolf nodded and Spencer gave a soft smile, "its ok, my friend Seth can help you. I'm going back to the pack this weekend. Until then you can stay here. Okay?"

The wolf gave a happy bark and licked Spencer's face. Spencer laughed and patted the wolf's head. He noticed that the wolf's fur was quite dirty. "You look as if you haven't bathed in a while. You want me to wash your coat?"

The wolf gave another happy yelp and Spencer led the wolf to the bath/shower in his bathroom.

The werewolf acted more wolf then human that was for sure, he wondered how long was he was wolf and if it made him more primal then human.

After several days, he and the wolf (of course he didn't know his name since wolves can't speak) they became good friends. That weekend, they went back to the pack together.

Seth and Frank greeted him but growled when they saw the wolf. Yet they stopped after looking at the wolf for several moments. Frank began to chuckle.

"Let me guess…this one came to your house correct?"

"Well yeah…what's so funny?" Frank could barely contain his laughter while Seth look pretty amused.

"Can't change back huh" Seth said to the wolf.

Seth smiled, "Hang on, I have something that will help."

Seth took out a shiny stone, a moon stone Spencer noticed, and placed it on the wolf's nose.

The wolf transformed and in a burst of light was human again. Spencer froze. "You mean that was a…."

"Yep congrats Spencer you have met your first female werewolf."

"But why would she follow me and not turn back into a human?"

Spencer and Seth were in a cave talking while the rest were at the lake enjoying the day.

"Well Spencer she is attracted to you. When a female smelled a male that she likes, she turns into a wolf and her primal instincts overpower her human instincts for a short while. Moon stones are strange. They help use turn back if needed. I'm not sure why though."

"So she is attracted to me…."

"Well yes, I have to say it's rather odd for a young werewolf like yourself to already have a suitor but then again I've seen stranger things. Maybe you have an air about you that females like."

"What about normal human females?"

"Oh they won't be affected at all. Only werewolf women are."

"Are there many female werewolves?"

"Not really, they are rare now-a-days. But keep in mind that your young, many more females will cross your way. Wolves mate for life and since you already attracted one, many more will come soon."

Spencer nearly fainted; he wasn't good with women in the first place. God why is everything so damn complicated.

"What will happen now is that she will stay with us for a time and unless you choose to be her mate, she will leave."

"She doesn't stay?"

"No, females are extremely independent. They don't have packs, males do. Women hunt and live alone but are extremely powerful and many times more powerful then alpha male werewolves. They are very intelligent and cunning but when it comes to finding their partners, they listen to their inner wolf so to speak. It's rare to see one unless they are looking for a partner. Generally, male werewolves now have families with human females."

"Don't they have werewolf daughters?"

"It's rare too, we mostly have boys. I knew a wolf that had a daughter. She was quite a fiery little girl. Sweet and also good at playing the piano. After she graduated college, she has to leave the family for good. Like I said, normally females stay alone. So they have to leave their home pack once old enough."

"That's…so sad…."

"Being a wolf is never easy Spencer."

"I guess I'll talk to her and get to know her."

Seth nodded and they walked to the lake.

The female werewolf in question was sitting by the lake under a tree. She had long red hair and sharp green eyes. She looked fierce, but also lonely.

Spencer silently walked over to her and sat down.

"Uh…hi."

She looked up at him and smiled, "Hey. I'm sorry I followed you around like that. I had no control over my wolf form. That Frank guy over there explained what happened."

Spencer nodded, "I'm Spencer Reid…."

"I'm May…just May."

Spencer smiled, "So…do you live in Virginia?"

"Yeah, a town away from your city but I live alone. I guess Seth gave you the how low down on us female wolves huh?"

Spencer blushed, "Sort of."

"Male werewolves are so stereotypical of us. Just because were more independent and stringer they call us primitive."

They laughed and they continued to talk for some time. Meanwhile, Ben was watching then from a distance and smiled. Frank couldn't help but noticed the sinister smile on Ben's face and growled at him. Ben looked away and went back to the caves.

If he was ever going to get back his place as the alpha male, Frank will HAVE to go.
