Chapter Two : A Walk in the Woods
Sheriff Donner grabbed the phone and almost knocked a lamp over in his hast.
"Hello!" he said, more of a demand than a question.
"Sheriff," her heard in reply. "You're precious deputy has managed to interfere once again in pack business and mine."
"Tyler," Donner recognized the voice. "What happened?"
"Ruby is now wandering the woods," came the steady response. "Apparently he found the need to let her out of the cage."
Donner sighed into the phone, wishing Kanin would just leave well alone. If he kept prying… things could get complicated. He wouldn't be able to protect him if his persistent investigating compromised the pack.
"He's getting too close." Tyler said soberly. "Sooner or later he's going to have to be dealt with. You can put it off as long as you like, but if he continues to sniff near me and my "property"… well, then I can't be responsible for any misfortunes that might befall him."
"Like a fire? That last stunt almost killed him. And believe me, had it... you would have been hearing from me."
"Me?" Tyler said in an indifferent tone. "Maybe he left a cigarette burning. They say smoking kills."
"And the traces of gasoline might have helped." Donner sighed with tension. "Look, you're not going to do anything. Find Ruby. I'll keep Kanin away."
"Let's hope so."
Donner dropped the phone onto the receiver with obvious agitation. He turned back to stalk into the other room, ready to confront the present problem. He had to get Sophia home. He was sure this could be stopped. He had managed to keep the wolf at bay for years. She just had to be watched. She could resist this if-
He froze when he found the room empty. "Sophia?" After a moment of surveying the room once more in disbelief he bellowed, "Sophia!"
~~~~~~~~~~~
She paced down the dirt path, gaining a few more feet every time. She felt drawn to the woods, yet she was inwardly warning herself. By coming here she was making a decision. Her head was pounding with the pressure of it. She was distancing herself farther from the comfortable of cozy normality with each step. Was she really choosing to willingly give up that type of life? She could live as a human, stay indoors and wrapped in warm blankets on dark nights. She could pretend not to feel the pull, the gnawing in the back of her mind to become one with the primal call.
Even as Sophia was repeating the countless denials of her behavior, she continued on deeper past shadowed trees. She would have most likely sensed him if she was paying attention and not talking to herself like a schizophrenic.
"Sophia."
She almost tripped over a protruding branch as she abruptly stopped walking.
"Luke?" she said as she turned around. He was only a few feet away. His scent was suddenly overwhelming her. "What are… Leave me alone," she said remembering their earlier encounter and attempted to force herself to calm down. She tried to stomp away but she felt a strong hand clasping onto her arm, preventing her escape.
"No. We have to talk," Luke explained, steping in front of her to block her path.
Luke's scent again filled her nostrils. He had a strong earthy smell that made him seem one with dark forest that surrounded them. She had to stop thinking about such foolish things. She had to get away from him. She tried to clear her thoughts.
Sophia shook her head and looked around. "How did you even find me out here?"
"Your scent." Sophia blushed, wondering if he could guess the thoughts she had just been pondering. He watched her face and continued, "It gets more potent before a one of us flips for the first time."
Sophia was having trouble following the conversation. Her head was throbbing and she felt like she was burning up.
"Sophia," she heard her name, catching her attention again.
"Look Luke, I don't think I feel so good. I need to go home, lie down…"
"Sophia, you're not sick and you know it. What your feeling is natural and not sleeping or anything else is going to help."
"Just leave me alone okay, please?" she said almost pleadingly.
Luke grabbed her by the shoulders, needing her to understand and accept what he was saying. "Sophia! You can't run from this. Tonight, when you were with that… when you were out. You wanted more didn't you? He was still kissing you when you wanted biting. He was gentle when you wanted rough." Luke sighed impatiently. "Couldn't you feel that he was your inferior? You have this power in you."
Sophia tried to look down at his chest to evade his demanding gaze. Too close. He was too close. "Luke… Luke, let go.. " she trailed off.
"No. You're not going to push this away."
Too close. Too close. "Luke…" Sophia's eyes were hooded as she gazed up with illuminated pupils.
Luke was going to continue with his fervent speech when Sophia suddenly pounced forward, knocking him to the ground. After landing he looked up, slightly dazed, and felt Sophia's weight along his body. He saw her eyes flash dangerously as a mischievous smile crosses her features. She straddled his hips, her palms splayed across his chest as she lowered her mouth to his.
After Luke got over his initial surprise and was able to regain some of his senses he grinned beneath her persistent lips. He took over the assault and devoured her mouth relentlessly. Growling low in his throat, Luke roughly flipped Sophia on her back and followed her with his own body… showing his dominance.
Holding her arms above her head with his own, Luke pinned her to the earth. After long minutes of the passionate attack, he finally gathered enough discipline to break away for air. Her turned his attention to Sophia's tempting neck. He trailed fiery kisses down her moon-bathed skin. Becoming irritated with the barrier of her shirt collar, Luke ripped the cotton with one angry motion. Sophia yelped and locked eyes with him, sharing a silent message.
Luke bent down to once again capture her mouth before continuing in his pursuit of greedily consuming her pale flesh.
Moments later, their clothing lay discarded in a pile a short distance away from their joined bodies. Fusing their mouths together, they moved as one in a fury that threatened to overtake them both. Luke feeling the wolf rage hungrily within him knew Sophia must be near to changing. He aggressively crushed her lips and watched, transfixed, as her eyes flickered green. A sense of primal need began to flow over him and he let out a feral growl. Bowing his head, he buried his mouth in the crook of her neck. Caught up in the moment and unable to control his primitive urge to mark his possession, Luke bite into her soft flesh. Sophia whimpered in response, yet drug her fingernails across his shoulders to show her approval. He began to lap at the heated blood that flowed from the shallow wound he had inflicted.
Sophia suddenly cried out. Luke drew together all his strength and flung himself away from her. She sat up on her bare knees and crouched, bent over as if in pain. She clawed the grass and clenched fistfuls of it in her palms that were embedded in the ground. Her breathing came out as strained gasps. A scream caught in her throat as a husky growl emerged instead. Sophia flung her head heavenward, preparing herself for the inevitable. This is what she had desperately waited for… whether she realized it or not. Her entire life she had been slowly crawling toward this.
The new sensations were at first uncomfortable, but as her bones began to shift a feeling of euphoria washed over her. She felt warm tingles dance across her spine and her arms tensed. If there was any pain, it quickly receded to the depths of her mind as unfathomable power coursed through her being. Sophia imagined that she was just being brought into the world, finally alive. She was one with creation itself and she too was joining with nature. It was overwhelming as her body continued to move into full consciousness.
Luke stared in a trance, awestruck by the beauty of her first transformation. He watched as cream-colored flesh molded in a blur and gave way to silvery gray fur. The light from the moon coated her new body and she was the most magnificent creature he had ever seen. "Sophia," he breathed in a whisper.
Sophia's blood hummed and her senses heightened to an almost painful level. Her ragged breathing distorted into the steady pant of an animal. Her figure made the final adjustments and she stretched her limbs as a wolf.
