As soon as she left the cabin, my first impulse was to run after her and wrap her in my arms, but that would have scared her. Instead, she had to start feeling as if she was at home, and she was free to move around.

Then she started to cry and I just lost it. My wolf bared its teeth. He wanted to hunt, kill, and shred to pieces all the humans who ever hurt her. But the fact that she opened her heart to me meant the world. I needed her trust to work. The only problem was that I didn’t trust myself when I was so close to her.

In wolf form, things are simpler. My body crashed through the familiar forest scaring all the tiny creatures that found themselves along my path. I need to stop my wolf from calling out her name, calling her mate and wanting her.

Focus, damn it.

I ran as fast as the strong body I called mine allowed me to and arrived at the familiar waterfall. The waterfall was not high. I kept running and jumped down—fast, hard, without hesitation. My body splashed into the cold water of the small pond that it formed in the middle of the forest. The silence was perfect, disturbed only by the splashing sounds my body made when it crashed into the cool wetness.

I shifted back to human form as I swam in the cold water and moved towards the shore.

Laying on the cool grass, I allowed the moon to shine on my skin and body.

No matter how hard I tried to push the image of her in the back of my mind, my cock was hard as a rock. Not even the cold water calmed me down. This woman will be the death of me. She’s going to keep me hard for the entire time she’s going to stay here. I am feeling and acting like a raging hormonal teenager. Closing my eyes, I allowed myself to drown in her scent, feel her soft skin touching mine. My fingers moved up and down, touching my hard cock. I didn’t even give myself the chance to dream much more. I exploded in a painful, hard way.

“Great, I’ll just go hump her leg the next time I see her. Damn, I’m such a pathetic idiot."

Making myself cum helped me calm some. Then, I jumped back into the pond and swam laps until dawn.

Will I be able to focus on what has to be done? This was one of the situations when I didn’t have a choice in the matter. Scarlett needs someone to train her, and I’m the best trainer they have. This is what I do. This is why I retired from the hunting parties and decided to help the victims, the young ones, the weakest of us.

As satisfying as it was to crush the windpipe of my enemies in battle, spilling blood left me with a sense of being uneasy and hollow. I trained more than twenty young ones, and they all joined the ranks of the fighter. Once a young wolf understood the dangers lurking in the shadows for our species, they can’t return to blissful ignorance.

My Little Flame had the spark. It was my job to start the fire.
