Even if we hadn’t known each other for long, Nisha could easily notice the smallest changes in my expression. She could tell the differences between my neutral frown, my happy frown, my angry frown, and my confused frown. It was only obvious she had noticed that there was something on my mind.

Ever since I was a pup, I had a terrible tendency to overthink. My mind was constantly running a million miles a minute, yet whenever my eyes landed on Nisha, my head just…cleared. It was as if she could use her angel wings to blow away all that was irrelevant.

“Nothing, my little magpie.” As I cleared my throat, I made sure to get my eyes back on the road. Malin’s truck has roamed the Earth since before the dinosaurs, but he would still kill me if I crashed it into a tree. “We’re almost done for the day. Is there something you’d like to do once we get back to the main square?”

“Hmm, let’s see…” She pressed her index finger against her bottom lip, while her nose twitched in the same way it did whenever she was thoughtful. “Oh! How about tacos and videogames? I swear I can beat you in Super Smash Sissies this time!”

“We don’t always have to do the things I like to do, you know…” I said in a barely audible voice, shrinking in the driver’s seat. I knew I wasn’t like the other guys. The idea of a perfect day for me was locking myself in my room with enough fast food and games to survive for a week. However, the last thing I wanted was for her to feel that our dates always had to go my way. I’d try anything for her. “We can go out, if you’d like. Maybe catch a movie?”

“Hey, it’s okay, Zach.” Nisha flashed me one of her dazzling smiles. “I enjoy a cozy afternoon in bed every once in a while. But if you’re up for it, I might just drag you to the next party I can find.” There was playfulness in her tone, but I was dead serious when I answered her.

“Whatever you want, little magpie.” I nodded at her, stopping the car as we reached our destination. “This is our final stop for the day.”

I hopped out and went straight to the place where I knew the last trap should be. Despite how well it had been hidden, I had a pretty good memory, and since I helped set them up, it wasn’t hard for me to identify their exact location. I climbed up the tree just enough to check on the device. As soon as I made sure everything was in order, I jumped back down. After my feet hit the ground again, I turned around to head back into the truck,but stopped when I realized Nisha wasn’t in her seat anymore. She must have gotten out of the car while I was working. Quickly scanning my surroundings, I found her leaning sideways against a tree trunk, looking down at our territory from the hill where we stood. Her position gave me a clear view of her voluptuous behind, and my gaze immediately locked on it. Lights! What is wrong with me?

My feet moved against my will, inching towards my mate, who was only a few feet away. During the entirety of my short journey, my eyes never left her assets. I couldn’t help but analyze those perfectly round melons stretching her tight jeans. It would be so easy to free them with my claws. Just thinking about seeing her naked made me drool and my fur bristle. What a wonder it would be to finally taste her skin, take a good lick at her… Wait. Those weren’t my thoughts.

“You!” I growled at Talon. Shit! How could I have been so careless as to let him steal control like that?

Before I could realize what was going on, the sharp sound of a slap cut the silence. Nisha turned around abruptly, a shocked expression on her face. The situation didn’t make any more sense to me than it did to her…until I felt something deliciously soft against the palm of my hand. It was the most amazing texture I had ever had the pleasure to feel. It was semi-dense, firm, yet malleable, and…

Oh, Goddess, my hand was on her ass!

As I stared right back at Nisha in horror, I cursed myself for what I had done. How did that even happen?! Then, a mischievous laugh echoed in the depths of my mind, allowing me to finally put two and two together.

“Thank me later, kid. I knew you would never have the balls to do it!” His laughter ended with a purr of satisfaction.

“My dirty crow…” My mate’s sensual voice immediately pulled me from my conversation with my wolf; it was huskier than ever. “If you wanted me, you could have just said so.”

Next thing I knew, her electric blue eyes, hungry as that of a starving lioness successfully ambushing her prey, locked on mine. Her predatory gaze alone stunned me, like I was an injured animal about to become her meal. When her hands rested on my chest, which was heaving up and down due to my erratic breathing, I couldn’t move. All I could do was stand there, petrified, as her skilled fingers traveled down my stomach, eager to reach the waistband of my pants. The lower she got, the more my erection sprung into notice.

Oh, Goddess! How far was she planning on going? I was already hyperventilating. At this rate, I would probably pass out in a minute. This was too much. I wasn’t ready for this yet!

“For the Light of the Crescent! You’re a disaster, Zach.” My wolf touched his face with his paw, shaking his head in disapproval. “I have to save this sinking ship before you embarrass the both of us. Watch and learn, kiddo!”

A wolfish grin lit up Talon’s face. It was the only warning I got from him, but it was already too late. In my panic attack, I had accidentally lowered my guard down again. Such a fact became evident a second later, when my wolf forced its way towards the surface, freeing himself. My situation seemed bad enough as it was, but I should have known it could always get worse. When I saw the shreds of my clothes floating in the air around me, I almost lost it.

“What the fuck, Talon! You destroyed my clothes!” I yelled in horror.

“For crying out loud Zach, calm down. You won’t be needing them now anyway.” He chuckled. Amidst my despair, I frowned. Even my wolf enjoyed messing with me.

“Oh! Hi there, my handsome grackle. What a pleasant surprise it is to see you,” Nisha cooed the moment her eyes landed on Talon. Her attention alone made a low rumble reverberate in his chest. When she finally touched him, diving her hand into his rough coat, he wagged his tail like a pup. “Is this how we’re doing it, then? I’m all for it. I’ve never tried doing it in wolf form.”

Doing what?! I barely had time to think. In the blink of an eye, Twyla came out to stand in the exact same spot her human-self had been an instant ago. Without hesitation, she hopped in Talon’s direction. In a gentle manner, she touched his muzzle with the tip of her nose in a quick kiss, but my beast wasn’t as tender. He started biting the scruff of her neck, careful not to pierce her skin, but hard enough to make his intentions of pulling her down clear. With a high-pitched, continuous bark, she mimicked him, trying to catch his ears.

Suddenly, Twyla dropped to the floor with a thud. Her back hit the grass as she rolled from side to side, keeping her belly exposed as if she was calling her mate. Of course, Talon didn’t dismiss her invitation. He crawled on top of her, and as his fur rubbed against hers, I felt a rush of desire roll over me.

Was it fucked up that I was getting turned on watching two wolves get intimate with each other?

“We are one and the same, kid. As are Nisha and Twyla.” Talon’s voice echoed in my head again. “You feel what I feel, and vice-versa. Human or wolf, you love Twyla as much you love Nisha. The same goes for me.” Another feral-sounding growl rumbled up from his chest as he turned his attention back to the she-wolf underneath him. “But the only time I get to have some fun is when her animal side comes out to play.”

As if to prove his observation, my wolf rubbed his face against his mate’s neck rather roughly, covering her in his scent. His gesture made her purr happily. When he was satisfied, hebacked up just enough to be able to lick the white stripe on her chest. Her soft fur tasted like cotton candy on his tongue. Little by little, he made his way down her body. I held my breath when he reached her lower stomach, where her fur became thinner, allowing him to feel her skin.

I knew exactly where Talon was headed. Seeing through his eyes reminded me of the first time I watched porn, only now it had a…furry twist. Twyla’s cries of pleasure when he started licking between her legs were an enticing melody, though they didn’t drive him as crazy as the taste of her nectar did.

“Hmm,” my wolf growled lowly as he sniffed his mate’s fragrance from the core. “This is your last chance, kid. If you’re not ready to claim her yet, I gladly will.”

“Give me back control, Talon! Now!” I demanded bravely.
