Under the Blood Moon

A night time adventure

Stefan

After a really rocky start I am amazed at how well my gorgeous girl is taking everything. She is just so accepting of the information I am giving her. I wonder if I am filling in some blanks for her rather than simply blowing her mind with the news of a whole new supernatural world.

Filling in the gaps she will have some deep down memories of living in the pack though maybe my words are simply connecting with the things she saw before her father left them.

Hmm the fact that her father left is bugging me, I know wolves and it would take something really bad to pull us away from our mates and children. After leaving Scarlet for the afternoon with the enticing promise of a romp in the woods that night I flop on the large comfortable recliner in my suite. What to do for the best I sigh before picking up my phone. I twiddle it around in my hand for a few moments before dialling my mother. Father maybe in charge in name but mother has always been the real powerhouse, I don’t remember a time where she didn’t have lists and lists stacked at her desk monitoring the whole pack, family issues, nw pups coming, even down to the simple need for a plumber, everything was written down and committed to her expansive memory.

If something had happened in the pack she would know. The phone rings briefly before she picks up with her usual breezy tone.

“Hey gorgeous boy, how are the wilds of Scotland treating you?”

I immediately relax knowing that she would fix everything for me. “Mum, I miss you all! It’s beautiful here but I need your advice.” I must sound more agitated than I realise as I can almost hear her sit up a little straighter.

“What do you need Stefan?” She’s all seriousness.

“Please don’t worry Mum, it’s a good thing honestly.” Not wanting to worry her unduly I launch straight into the situation. She is of course amazed and ecstatic that I have found Scarlet, concerned about her lack of knowledge about her wolf, and then pensive when I ask about her father.

“Hmm” she begins “It’s a long story honey, not one for over the phone I’m afraid.” I hear her sigh and can almost imagine her pinching the bridge of her nose as she speaks. “Do you think that you can bring Scarlet, her mother and brother to us?”

Now this I knew would com eventually but I wasn’t expecting the invite to be so immediate. Of course I am happy and want nothing more than to bring Scarlet and her entire family home with me. “I can definitely ask them Mum, I’ve not met them yet but hopefully I will tomorrow. I’m meeting her tonight to teach her a little more about her shifting.” Worry washes over me as I think of her continuing to shift in her sleep with no conscious control of her wolf. “She has been doing it in her sleep for a while now, from wha I gather her neighbour has lost a fair few chicken coops to her wolf.”

Mum chuckles and then seriously says “Yes, we need to get that sorted as soon as possible, who knows what trouble she could end up in operating without both her and her wolf.”

I nod firmly, grunting my agreement. We wrap up the call, me promising that I will let her know tomorrow whether I can get the family agree to come along for a trip and her promising to get everything ready for us.

Now to get ready for our night time adventure.

Scarlet

After a few more hours of taking around what being a Lycan actually means and the fact that it’s genetic so my brother would need to be talked to soon, before he turned 15 preferably, we went our separate ways. I agreed to meet him at midnight in the woods behind the farm that night so he could help me transform while awake.

He’s seriously concerned that me letting my wolf control my unconscious self could lead to bad things. He wouldn’t say what those bad things were.

The rest of the day passed by in a blur. On arriving home Andy was upstairs doing his homework and there was a note from mum on the table. She’d left chicken parmigiana in the fridge apologising for the fact that she was working so many hours again, Giuseppe had promised to get extra help asap so she could take some time off.

I tucked into the reheated meal, again relishing in the amazing flavours in mums cooking, it really was no wonder that the restaurant was so busy all the time.

I stuck my head into Andy’s room to let him know I was heading out with friends a little later, reminding him to sleep and not spend the night on his console. He grunted in return, shooing me away from his online gaming.

Heading back to my room I change into something light and loose; Stefan has advised me that it shouldn’t be something I’m interested in keeping this first time.

As the clock edges closer to midnight I start to twitch, is this actually real, or is he just a really sneaky serial killer who has seduced me out of my home to kill me in the woods, may be taking my bottle of mace wouldn’t be such a terrible idea.

At five to midnight I pull a light cardigan over my shoulders and head out into the night.

The woods are eerily quiet, the moon is low and full, and there in the clearing I had woken in that morning is Stefan, sat passively waiting for me.

I feel an immediate primal pull towards him, the minute I see him, it’s as though the animal inside me wants to be with him in anyway that I will allow, she’s almost warning me that if I leave she’ll bring me straight back.

“Hi” I call, trying to quieten the new voice in my head.

“Hey Red, sorry Scarlet” he walks over to me his hand reaching up to my shoulder before he stops himself, “sorry my wolf is really close to the surface right now and he want’s to make sure that you don’t leave us.”

“It’s ok, I’m getting the same from mine, in fact she’s outright threatened to bring me back if I go anywhere.” I giggle at the absurdity of the conversation “Stefan, is this what it will always be like now, I mean she’s never spoken to me before but since this afternoon it’s like I have two people in my head.”

“It must be so strange for you” he murmurs, his fingers trailing down my face as his eyes lock with mine. His closeness leaves me trembling, I can feel his hot breath against my ear, tickling and teasing the lobe. “But yes, she’ll always be there unless you force her out, from what I can figure they’re mostly about instinct though, they protect us, they make sure that we’re where we should be and that we do the things we should do.” His fingers judder slightly as they run down my neck to my collar bone. I hear his breath hitch in his throat as his hand slips closer to my cleavage, oh my god I want him to go further.

He steps closer to me, the air seems to thicken around us, I can feel my wolf emit a low satisfied growl as he takes hold of my shoulders, his eyes dropping to my chest before flicking back to meet my eyes. The tension is palpable and hot in the inch between our bodies, I tilt my face towards his, the agony of my own shyness screaming at me to look away. He cups my chin with his thumb and forefingers pulling me closer still.

His lips meet mine, my knees almost give way, sparks of electricity jumping from his mouth to mine, my lips fall slightly open with the shock. He immediately takes advantage of the invitation pushing against me, plunging his tongue hungrily into my mouth, our lips mash together, tongues entwined as his fingers pull through my hair, loosening the band holding it up. He winds his fingers around the high ponytail pulling my head backwards to expose my neck. Burying his face in the dip between my throat and shoulder he nibbles the taut and sensitive flesh, sending sparks of lust throughout my body, pooling in my aching groin, even the soft fabric of my underwear is too much to bear, the soft friction of his body against my own leaving me gasping for more.

His right hand leaves the knots he’s winding into my loose hair and smooths across m chest before grasping my breast, kneading the n****e with his thumb. The sensation almost sends me over the edge, I pull his body closer, reaching for the hem of his shirt, I need to see the body I’ve been fantasising about all day.

I step back a little to watch as he pulls the shirt over his head, it’s everything I dreamed off and more, how has this man taken over so much of my mind and body in the space of a day. ‘Stop overthinking it’ my wolf growls. I step back into his embrace my fingers trailing against that tiny line of jet-black hair running down from his navel, my eyes flying open as I hear him growl. His eyes are closed his mouth slightly open as his breath escapes in little pants. “s**t Red, what are you doing to me?”

“I-I don’t really know…” I stammer unwilling to stop but suddenly feeling embarrassed by my forwardness.

“Oh god don’t stop, please don’t stop” he murmurs directly into my ear, the heat of his breath sending more shivers into my aching c**t, I have never felt this desperation to be touched before, I have never been touched before, what the hell is going on. The tips of his canines nip my ear lobe and I nearly collapse in his arms. Leaning into my movement we end up lying on the soft woodland floor, his hand slipping up under my top as we stretch against each other. “Have you done this before?” He whispers as his fingertips run in electrified circles across my hips. I shake my head, unable to open my eyes, overwhelmed by the sensations. “Do you want to do this?” He asks.

I pause, my human brain processing where we are. “I do, I really do” I stress the really “but maybe not here” my wolf howls and I tell her to shut up firmly. “I just don’t want my first time to be in the woods.”
