Ever since Valerie's mother died things were different. Suddenly Valerie did not have the energy to sneak off with me. Every time I tried to take her with me to the forest she made some excuse to not come. One year ago, her father had been killed. He had been the wolf then. Nobody knows that except for me. If anyone found out that Valerie was the daughter of the wolf, they would hang her. Her father had killed her sister, and grandmother, he also almost killed her mother. Now we have a new wolf among us, another violent one. I am a wolf. I will not tell lies. Valerie knows that. During a blood moon, her father bit me. Valerie had no family anymore all she had was Roxanne and I.
The day was warm, well warm for a winter. It was still snowing but not very much. A funeral wagon was being pulled throughout the town. The pale body of Valerie's mother was being pulled within. People might think it was me, but for one thing, I know is that it was not me. Then I saw her. Valerie stepped out of her family's house. Remains of tears were on her cheeks. I ran over to her. She stared at me for a few moments as if she didn't know who I was.
"Valerie.. I uhh" I said breathing hard in between words.
"No need to talk…" she said taking my hands. "We can talk tonight."
"But Valerie, it's a…" I tried to say but she ran away to catch up with the cart. "Full Moon." I looked around confused but then I looked in my hands. There was a folded piece of parchment in my hands. It read
"Meet me tonight at my grandmother's old cabin."
That evening I went to the pub. I ate well so I would not be hungry in wolf form. The moon was almost showing above the mountain. Once the moonlight touched my skin I would become a wolf. I stood, paid the bar tender and left. I ran and ran towards the forest. I got onto the trail that led to Valerie's cabin. I started to walk just as I got the first glimpse of the full moon. When I looked down, I was shrinking. My feet and hands morphed into paws. I grew hair all over my body. I fell to all fours because it seemed more comfortable. I was a wolf. This was different. I want and need to get to Valerie's cabin let me keep my human mind. I ran up the path. When I saw the cabin I heard Valerie talking to someone. When I looked there was another wolf. She called him Peter. This wolf was tricking her. I ran at him just as he tried to strike Valerie. I jumped on him clawing at his eyes. I felt my claws sink deep into the flesh of this other wolf. He yelped and ran away. We were not going to see him again but he knew one thing, He knew that I was a wolf too.
"Peter… thanks."
"GRRRR" I tried to reply but because we are not related she could not understand me. I motioned her to get onto my back. She looked uneasy at first but then climbed aboard. I ran off up the mountain. I ran and I ran. We reached the top of the mountain. The old cave behind us. We could both see the sun coming up over the distant hills. When the first direct sun ray hit me, my body warmed. The snow crunched in relief when my front "arms" lifted off the ground. I felt the fur sink back into my human skin. I looked down and I was completely naked. I had forgotten that that would happen. I looked around frantically.
"No need Peter" she said, I could hear the lust in her voice.
"What do you mean?" I said sounding worried. Valerie did not reply, she simply put her cloak on the snow for us to sit.
"I mean that I'm ready" She replied slowly.
"Valerie I don't know what to say"
"No need just do" she crept next to me and then on top of me. She leaned down and kissed me. I imagined our tongues waltzing around with as much passion as we were kissing. She undid the front of her dress the satin strings fell gracefully and her dress loosened letting her body go back to its true form, not crunched into a dress. She then unbuttoned her blouse. All she had now was a small shirt on with centimeter wide sleeves. She slid of her dress leaving her underwear on. I was naked and she must have felt my member go hard because she giggles a little.
"I know you have been wanting this, why did you not ask?"
"I never wanted to hurt you." With that things got a little steamier.
After we were done we talked. We talked seriously about leaving. To the city, mountains, fields. This town had problems and it would not help if we just ran away. Once our problems were gone she promised she would leave for the city. I could imagine what she was going through. Every time I tried to bring it up she shut me down. What she does not know is that my parents were also killed, but lucky me, I did not have a werewolf for a dad and then have my sister and mother get killed. Now that I was not a wolf, we would have to walk back slowly and at a regular pace. Luckily she had brought my clothes with her. I slipped on my tunic and leather vest, then put on my pants and hunting boots. I wrapped a knife holder around my waist that not only held my knife to my side is also kept my pants up.
When we arrived at Daggerhorn that afternoon almost immediately I was grabbed and taken away from Valerie. Someone had tipped off everyone that I was now a wolf. I did not know who it was but I had a feeling that it was the other wolf.
