“Actually, we should start now. I feel incredibly restless, like I’m bursting at the seams.”
Remus laughed.
“Our pups are like that, always overflowing with energy and running all over creation. It gets exhausting just looking at them.”
“I can imagine,” I said with a chuckle before freeing myself from his embrace to face him. “If they feel anything like what I’m feeling right now, they must be wild.”
He chuckled. “They can be. But we should feed you first. You’ve been sick for days and haven’t eaten or drunk anything in forever. You must be famished!”
I paused to assess myself for a moment, then almost immediately shook my head. Sure, I wouldn’t mind a bite, but I couldn’t say I was hungry.
“Honestly, what I really need right now is to move. I’m feeling so incredibly antsy, I might start climbing the walls,” I said sheepishly before realizing I was shifting restlessly on my feet. “It seems like being reborn reset the hunger meter.”
Remus hesitated for another second before bowing his head in concession.
“Alright, my Flame. Let’s go burn that excess energy of yours,” he said with indulgence.
I squealed, and all but raced him down the stairs before shooting outside. In passing, I absentmindedly noticed that the dresser in my room had been replaced, and that parts of the door frame and staircase’s railing seemed to be made of newer wood. I could imagine what might have caused the need to make these changes, but there would be time later to discuss it. For now, I wanted to embrace this new body and how it would allow me to experience the world in a completely different way.
I almost leapt down the stairs of the front porch and took a few steps forward then stopped on the pavement leading to the bridge. Arms spread wide, my face lifted towards the warm caress of the late morning sun, I inhaled deeply. It felt like breathing life itself into my lungs, saturating every cell in mybody with an energy that borderline the divine. Even the cold stones beneath my bare feet seemed to want to communicate with me. For the first time in my life, I sensed a form of communion with the natural world around me in a way that transcended the physical realm.
Then, for no apparent reason, I started running towards the woods surrounding the estate. I should be wincing at every step as my bare feet pounded the ground covered in grass, fallen branches, and rocks. Yet it felt like running in the most comfortable hiking shoes. The short skirt of my light nightgown whipped around my thighs as I ran like the wind.
Footsteps behind me quickly caught up as Remus ran by my side, also barefoot, wearing nothing more than a pair of pants. The air of pure joy on his face reflected the one that filled my heart to bursting. I was healed, free, and sharing a unique experience as I embraced my awakening to my new true self.
Trees flew by us at dizzying speed as we raced through the forest. Before long, my mate’s attitude changed in a subtle fashion. It took me a moment to realize that he was no longer running after me but actually chasing me. I immediately joined the game, loving the fact that I was now his prey. A very willing prey who wanted to be caught, but that he needed to earn.
Something shifted inside of me. Adrenaline pumping, I redoubled the speed at which I ran, weaving around the trees, random mounds, and boulders in our path to make it harder for him. To my shock, claws jutted out of my toes and fingertips. They dug into the ground, propelling me further with each step. A small voice at the back of my head screamed that I was moving too fast, and that I would soon end up crashing into a tree or otherwise hurting myself. But I couldn’t stop. My body seemed to know instinctively what to do.
More than once, Remus almost caught me, his hand brushing against my hip or arm. Each time, it gave me an instantburst of energy that had me dashing ahead even faster. To my shock, as he was closing in on me too fast for me to have a chance of circling around a massive tree, I caught myself leaping onto it instead. My claws clung to the bark, but I didn’t hang in there. Instead I used the sole of my feet to kick myself off the trunk, and backflipped over Remus half a beat before he would have nabbed me.
I twisted my body midair so that I would face the ground and landed on my hands. I pushed forward to go into a run on all fours. However, my movements were awkward, and I found myself flopping on my belly. My body knew that I could do it but was simply doing it wrong. Sadly, I didn’t know how to fix it yet.
Before I could get back to my feet to resume my escape, my mate’s warm body settled on top of me, pinning me to the ground. I tried to knock him off, but his teeth closing on my nape felt like lightning struck my spine. It hadn’t actually done so or caused any pain, but my body immediately went limp with an all-consuming need to submit to my alpha’s dominance. A whining whimper rose from my throat with a will of its own. It felt odd, but I understood that some wolf traits were now an integral part of me and we’re instinctively kicking in.
Remus flipped me onto my back. His pitch-black sclera, his golden eyes glowing in an exotic fashion, and his fangs bared in a menacing snarl had a bolt of lust exploding in my core. Something primal snapped inside of me. I grabbed his face with both hands and crushed his lips with mine. Remus emitted another growl, this time deeper, hungrier, that resonated directly in my clit.
The scent of his arousal struck me with force, acting like a potent aphrodisiac that had moisture instantly pooling between my thighs. I couldn’t tell if my strong reaction was due to the novelty of me now being able to perceive it. Either way, it had my inner walls palpitating with the need to be filled.
Remus broke the kiss, his fangs softly grazing my skin on a path down to my neck. His hands boldly caressed my body. As his lips wandered towards my chest, my mate emitted a frustrated growl. The sound of my nightgown ripping under a decisive swipe from his claws made me realize the fabric obstructing his exploration of me had prompted this destructive response.
Far from upsetting me, it heightened my own arousal. There was something incredibly erotic about the almost feral way my man was acting. This hint of danger, of being at the mercy of the wild beast who would have given his life for me was the biggest turn on.
I arched my back and moaned as his mouth closed around my left nipple. This new body’s sensitivity was off the charts, each touch and sensation enhanced a thousandfold. The rough texture of Remus’s tongue on my taut little bud made my toes curl. I sank my fingers into his silky mane and lifted my chest for greater contact as he licked and sucked on my nipple.
His left hand glided down my waist and over my pelvis before slipping between my thighs. I spread my legs to give him better access. My underwear met the same fate as my nightgown. But all I cared about were his thick fingers teasing my slit and my clit before sinking inside of me. My inner walls instantly contracted around them, greedily drawing them in deeper to fill the endless void that screamed for him.
The scent of my own arousal, combined with his, further fanned the fire burning in the pit of my stomach in a vicious cycle that grew exponentially in intensity. I ground my sex against his hand, seeking greater contact as he crooked his fingers and began to expertly rub on my sensitive bundle of nerves with each motion.
My climax came hard and fast. I shouted my mate’s name as waves of pleasure crashed over me. A strangled moan escapedme when the searing heat of his mouth settled on my clit. It shouldn’t have been possible, but the inferno raging inside me burnt even more fiercely. I crested higher until a second orgasm slammed into me before I ever recovered from the first one.
My entire body thrummed with bliss as my mate continued to devour me, his free hand caressing me as I slowly came back to reality. He kissed his way back up, reclaiming my mouth with a possessiveness that had me tingling in all the right places. I spread my legs wider, making my desires clear.
He didn’t resist.
Remus settled between my thighs and pushed himself in. The first thrust made it clear that my rebirth had reseteverything. I almost growled in frustration as my body resisted him. Protective as always, my mate began inserting himself with slow and careful movements. But I wanted him to throw all caution to the wind and unleash his beast on me.
I sank my claws into his back. For a brief instant, I feared I might have broken skin, which had not been my intention. Thankfully, the absence of the smell of blood reassured me. However, it had the intended effect. Remus growled against my lips and started thrusting into me a bit more forcefully until my body yielded.
