Sam:

I felt Grace's discomfort as she came inside and sat on the couch with us as we watched the movie. I didn't get a change to ask her what she saw outside until we had bathed Tyler and put him to bed.

"Grace, tell me what's wrong." I said gently as she pulled her shirt slowly from her skin. I watched as she changed into a sexy outfit with red lace and black silk. She smiled and motioned me to join her on the bed. I knew she was trying to distract me and I could smell her fear of something. "Grace please just tell me what freaked you out. Is it me?" I whispered as I imagined her scared of her wolf-like husband. When I said this her face changed dramatically. "Of course its not you!" She replied and pulled me into bed. "So it is something." I said as I focused on the ceiling so I would not get distracted. She sighed and gently pulled my face to look at her. "Do you really want to waste this…Sam?" She said as she gestured to her silk outfit. As much as I want to say I pushed her away and found out what she was hiding I can't because when she said my name like that I fell for her seductive trap.

The next morning I let her take Tyler to school so I could get to the library, where I worked, on time. All day as I scanned books and asked chatting moms to keep it down I was thinking about Grace. There was something she was hiding from me and I needed to know what it was or at least why she would hide anything from me. The clock finally struck six and I walked outside to my car. That's when I felt the hair on the back of my neck bristle. I quickly scanned the forest and nearby trees for a sign but nothing was abnormal.

I got home just as the pasta was done cooking and Grace was putting it on a plate. "Hey honey, where's my little man?" I asked coming in the door and putting my coat up. "Hey and he's around here somewhere. Tyler!" She called toward the living room. There was no response. I smelled her quick fear before she did and I calmly said. "Oh he's just in his playroom and didn't hear you so Ill go get him." And I smiled as I pretended to go toward the steps but really slipped out the front door. I just need to make sure he's not in the one place he could be in danger. I thought as I rounded the corner to the darkening backyard.

I felt the time around me freeze as I looked on the horrible scene in front of me. There was a little boy with black curly hair and light green eyes putting his hard out to just barely touch a snow white wolf's nose just like the painting Creation of Adam where Adam's finger is just about to touch God's. But I could not let this touch happen.

I ran toward the wolf and screamed for Tyler to get inside. The wolf turned to me and gave me a dark intelligent stare before trying to dash off. I jumped farther than a human should and toppled on the she-wolf. She struggled to turn around and claw me but I let my fist rain down with hard punches. I would have murdered the wolf right in front of my own son if Grace's scream had not shattered my trance and just as soon as it had started it was done.

Grace was kneeling on the ground holding our shaking son close to her with tears in her eyes. "I should have told you." She mouthed silently though her agony. I felt fur slip though my bloody hands as the ghostly white wolf silently drifted back into the comfort of the endless dark trees.

Thanks for reading! Please review! Is it good? More or less action? More of Tyler? Tell me what you think will happen!
