"My Queen" Red choked out as a hand tightened around her throat, "Come back to me, come back"

"I wonder how little Snow would react if I sent her her best friends fur as a gift?" The Queen mused to herself

"Come back to me" Red whispered, slowly raising her hand up the Queens face and stroking her cheek and forcing eye contact and slowly, she seen the purple fade into the obsidian that she had liked and the Queen shook her head

"Red" She gasped "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I thought I put a protective shield around this area"

"Don't worry about it, your majesty" Red said with a soft smile

"No, no you must let me make it up to you. Please let me make it up to you, anything you want and you shall have it" Regina pleaded

"Can I call you Regina?" Red asked immediately

"Of course, now what do you want? Anything and it's yours I promise"

"That's it, I want to call you Regina" Red said with a shrug

"You're strange. If it were anybody else they would be asking for riches and wealth and everything magnificent, yet you ask to call me by my name. Why?" Regina asked

"Everyone can gain riches and wealth but I doubt many have the privilege of calling you by your name."

"I-" Regina was interrupted by her Captain Guard running into the training area

"Your majesty" He huffed out breathlessly

"What is it, Garrett? Catch your breath and tell me"
"The White Queen, she is here" He huffed "Along with her Queens guard and Prince James"

"Did they say why they were here?" Regina questioned calmly

"Something about having a bloodhound track a scent here"

"Go on ahead and assemble my personal guard to meet me in the entrance hall in five minutes" Regina commanded before turning to Red

"I know this is about me. I'm going to stay with you, if you would let me" Red said with steel in her eyes

"Are you sure?" Regina asked gently, looking at the tall beauty

"I am. In the small amount of time I've been here you've shown me more kindness and freedom than I could ever hope to have back with Snow. You forbid the hunting of my kind while she encourages it, you let me walk around freely during wolfs time while she has me locked away in the dungeons and I must wear my cloak all month instead of just during wolfs time. She constantly brings up past mistakes and painful memories and I have a feeling you wouldn't. You're my Queen now and no one could take me away from your side" Red spoke with conviction in her voice and an emotion that Regina couldn't place in her eyes

"Very well" Regina said and waved a hand over herself making purple smoke cover her head to toe before she appeared in a red velvet cape, black leather riding breeches and heels tall enough to make her taller than Red "Let us meet them"

"Hey Snow" Red greeted when she walked into the Entrance hall with her arm in Regina's and a guard of fifteen men surrounding them

"Re- But- What are you doing here?" Snow stuttered out

"I'm sure your mother managed to teach you some basic manners before she died, Snow. It is rude to ask a person what they're doing in their own home while you're there uninvited with enough guard that could call for a war" Regina drawled, "Though your years of living in the forest may be why you're as… Uncivilized as you are now."

"You kidnapped her." Snow stated

"I did no such thing" Regina replied, "I found her close to death on my lands surrounded by poachers from your land."

"It's true Snow" Red said, "I was in my fur running through the woods when I started to be hunted with men with silver arrows. Regina found me and cared for me until I was healthy again."
"You've bewitched her with your dark magic" Snow White shrieked, ignoring Red entirely

"Dear, why would I want to bewitch her when I could simply kill her and cause you pain?" Regina questioned, "Though if you haven't outlawed hunting of her kind yet I doubt it would cause you any"
"You dare-"

"Enough." Regina commanded, "You will get off my land right now or I will make sure you regret it with every bone in your body"
"Oh you mean how you destroy my happiness if it was the last thing you do?" Snow mocked

"Well, your best friend has sworn loyalty to my throne. Your lands are in decline while mine prosper, your people starving while mine are thriving, your coffers empty while mine are overflowing. I'd say you're doing fine destroying your own happiness without me. Now, one last warning before you are forcibly removed. Get. Off. Of. My. Land."

"Red, come with me" Snow pleaded, "You don't have to stay here with the witch"
"No, I don't have to. But I want to, Snow, I like Regina" Red admitted, looking at Regina with a smile before turning back to Snow, "I have more freedom here than I ever had. Did you know that Regina protects my kind and offers them homes, jobs, positions in her army just the same as everyone else? She takes in homeless wolves who have had their packs killed and helps them get back on their feet and asks for nothing but loyalty in return. She has shown me so much kindness since day one that I can hardly believe it was possible, I have more rights here than in your kingdom and her people treat me as if I'm not a monster. I've sworn my loyalty to her Snow, and I will stand by her"

It had been a month since Snows visit and it was once again wolfs time for Red who had been growing more antsy with each coming day to the amusement of Regina

"Go run, wolf" Regina laughed when she seen Red all but jogging on the spot "I'll wait for you underneath my tree"
"Are you sure?" Red asked, they hadn't spent much time apart since Red had came to the Queens palace

"I am, I know you're nearly bursting at the seams to get into your fur. I'll be fine" Regina reassured her and Red took off in a sprint, changing into her fur mid stride

After an hour of running in her fur Red could not resist the pulling at her chest anymore, it felt as though her very soul was tugging her in another direction and it took her through the twisting and turning forest until she came back to where she started and she could clearly see Regina sitting beneath the great apple tree and it was as though she had never seen the beautiful Queen before this moment in time and suddenly, her wolf wasn't hers anymore, her wolf was Regina's completely and fully. Red slowly walked up to Regina and with every step closer to the Queen her wolf wanted to howl in pleasure

"Oh, that wasn't long" The Queen said with a smile and Red thought she had never heard any words more beautiful and how she would do anything to keep that smile on the Queen's face

"What are you doing back so soon? I thought you'd be gone for the night. No matter, come sit" Regina gestured to the spot next to her where Red slumped to the ground and stared at Regina

"What?" Regina asked with a light laugh "Are you going to stay in your fur or can we have a proper conversation" Red just huffed and put her giant head on the Queen's lap "Fur it is"
