Hidden in Plain Light
Claws scraped at his back until they retracted to fingernails.
Fangs nipped at her skin until they softened to blunt teeth.
Skin against skin became smooth and slick as fur finally and fully receded.
Wild, coarse hair became damp and matted to their skin.
Physical features softened from bestial grimaces of rapture to human expressions of pleasure.
The eyes though…their eyes remained the same.
Amber and black, wide and wild.
The animal had not fully retreated to its hiding place beneath the sky. Canines were still sharp enough to prick, nails were still pointed enough to cut. Eyes were feral enough to see the world in vibrant black and white except the blinding brightness of each other.
It was their mating ritual.
It was their comfort in the waning moments of the full moon.
It was their defiant surrender; a surrender to each other and never the dawn.
The wolves moved against each other; human limbs entangled, the slap of flesh ringing loud in the woods.
The dew mingled with their sweat, and the sun exposed their mating bodies.
And when the climax came, their eyelids fluttered as dark, dull irises replaced vibrant amber.
They appeared fully human again.
But the sun only hid the truth, and the moon kept their secret.
