Under the Blood Moon

Learning some control

Scarlet

“No problem!” He smiles, although his wolf must be growling at him the way mine is. “How about we get to work on helping you to control your transformation for now?”

“Do I still have some control when I transform, I mean our wolves aren’t going to take this decision from us are they?” I am suddenly nervous that I’ll lose myself in the moment as a wolf, and I really want to remember this night.

“Yeah, you have control, she won’t do anything that could hurt you remember” he grins, his teeth bright in the moon light. “Shall we get started?”

I nod, my nerves taking hold as I watch him stand up in front of me, his excitement is still very much apparent as he adjusts himself. He starts talking but my attention is very much on the bulge at my eye line, maybe standing up would help me focus a little more…

He reaches down to help me to my feet when he sees me lifting myself from the grassy floor. “So do you think you’ll be ok with that?” He asks.

Embarrassed by my inattention, and more so at what I had been focused on I stammer “C-can we run through it one more time?”

The main gist of the plan was that we’d both strip, he had these leg strap things to hold our clothes, no it wasn’t appropriate to leave our underwear on, it would just tear when we transformed. I was then to invite my wolf to take over and the magic would happen from there. It might hurt but he thought I’d probably be ok if I’d managed to sleep through it before. I took myself behind a bush to get undressed, which is more than I little ridiculous after what I was just about to do with him but striping to nothing purposefully in front of him is a step too far right now.

Once I’m naked with my clothes strapped in the cool holder to my leg, I sit on the soft grass and start talking to myself. ‘Hi wolfie’ I shake my head at the lunacy of talking to my inner wolf. ‘Don’t think of me like that’ the gravelly voice replies. ‘s**t you heard that’ I reply. ‘Of course I heard it, I’m you!’ She chuckles in her low raspy tones ‘so you want me to do my thing do you?’ she asks. I nod. ‘Take a break then Red’ she chuckles, and I feel a wave of relaxation flow through me as I hear the sound of breaking bones from my own body as my limbs stretch and contort in front of me. I lift my hand to feel the growing snout on my face only to see an ebony red paw hovering in front of my face. ‘f**k I’m actually a wolf!’

Stefan is watching as I slip into my wolf skin, he walks over to the clearing I am stood in and reaches a hand out to my snout. He ruffles my red fur and buries his head into the ruff of long fur around my neck “beautiful” he murmurs before turning and leaping into the air. The air shimmers around him for a moment, before four black paws land on the ground in front of me. ‘Show off’ I mutter to myself.

The huge black wolf bumps his nose against mine his tail wagging behind him, instinct taking over I slump to the floor my rear in the air, front paws stretched out in a playful stance. ‘Behave you huge tart of a dog’ I berate my wolf. ‘Shut up’ she growls ‘I’ve got a play mate now, I want to play!’ the guilt is immediately overwhelming, how lonely must she have been without even me to talk to! ‘Ok, lets play then’ I reply, she immediately jumps at Stefan her teeth grabbing for his neck attempting to pull him to the ground. I swear I can hear his wolf laugh as he shakes us off and runs off into the woods.

We run from clearing to clearing jumping at each other and tussling in the open spaces, I have never felt so alive. After what seems like minutes but must’ve been hours from the position of the moon in the night sky we reach the edge of the woods, Stefan points his nose at the 4x4 parked against the side of the road, it’s the car he drove me to the picnic spot earlier that day. I nod my head, fur shaking as I do before heading into the bushes to shift. ‘s**t I didn’t ask Stefan how to shift back!’ My wolf growls a chuckle ‘it’s ok, I know how’ she tells me before I feel her stepping backwards in my head. This time I see the air shimmer around me as my limbs shrink and crack back into my human shape, as the final shift occurs, I collapse to the ground breathless from the hours of running and play fighting.

Stefan

When we meet in the woods I feel my wolf jump to the surface, a low protective growl echoing through my mind. I tell him to shush but his instinct is to protect the little red head in the clearing and nothing will stop that. “Look after mate” he grumbles. “We will” I tell him “We will never let anything bad happen to her”. He growls again in agreement before receding and letting me have full control again.

I take a seat as she walks towards us in the clearing, oblivious to the fact that we have watched her approach. She seems to be fighting with the urge to turn and run, before shaking her head violently and turning to face me. Her face lights up with a smile as she greets me. I relax a little as I see the battle is over, mentally thanking her wolf for being in my corner here.

We make a little small talk, she is struggling a little with the new wolf consciousness in her head and I try to calm her, reaching out to her and stroking her beautiful porcelain face. A mistake, I would never do anything more while I was caught in her seemingly endless green orbs. I shudder with overwhelming need as my fingers trace her jaw, pulling her a little closer I lift her face to mine. The air grows thick around us as I watch her eyelids flutter against my gaze. I’m lost, I bend to her mouth capturing her lips in mine, she gasps against me and I take it as an invitation to deepen the kiss.

One hand on her waist, my other clasps the back of her head, winding my fingers through her hair, I feel myself lose control, my body screaming at me to claim here there and then, my wolf urging me forward. I take hold of her high ponytail and tug against it, exposing her neck to my hungry mouth. She tastes of salt and sweetness and immediately becomes my favourite flavour. I can feel myself straining against the confines of my jeans as I release her hair and run my hands across her curves.

Her n*****s are tiny bullets as my thumbs capture them through the thin fabric of her top. I feel her body shake as her breath becomes ragged under my mouth. The scent of our arousal fills the air and I know that I need to stop before I claim her entire body on the forest floor. My wolf is not happy as I pull away from her slightly. She takes advantage of the distance to reach out to me, running her fingers across my stomach her fingers leaving trails of electricity as she lowers to my waist band. I grow at her not to stop, my canines extending as I nip her earlobe.

She collapses into me as her body trembles, the momentum allows us to slip to the floor, her body safe in my arms as we lower gently. I raise myself on my elbow looking over her flushed face. “Have you done this before?” I ask, not that it makes a difference but I don’t want to hurt her ever. She shakes her head and the archaic wolf in my head howls for joy that she will only be mine. “Do you want to do this?” I ask. She stills, holding her breath for a moment before opening her eyes. I am again dazzled by the emeralds staring up at me. “I do, I really do” she nods “but maybe not here.” She pauses again her eyes glazing over as she takes control back from her wolf. “I just don’t want my first time to be in the woods.”

I chuckle at her candour “No problem” I take a breath to still the horny wolf inside “How about we get to work on helping you control your transformation for now?” I kiss her softly and she starts to ask me questions about the process and I help her to her feet.

We start to prepare to shift, me showing her how to strap her clothes to her shin so that she is never caught out by having to shift back without something to wear and I run through the process again, reassuring her that if she was dong this in her sleep she was not likely to suffer any pain this time.

She takes a deep breath and glazes over as she talks to her wolf. She smiles at whatever the wolf is saying before her shoulders slump and her body starts to change. The transition is quick and before I could blink her beautiful wolf is stood in front of me. I swear I have never seen a wolf grin at me before but she is stood there practically smirking at my naked body. I tilt my head in amusement before leaping into my shift, landing before her and bumping her nose with my own. She dips immediately into a playful stance waving her behind high in the air before lunging at my snapping her jaws around my neck.

I laugh before shaking her off and running into the woods for her to catch up.
