Page 45 of Levi

Her mind ran wild at the thought of what he had turned into. The serum would take the DNA of the human it was injected into and, oftentimes, randomly select which animal they would become one with. Hannah hadn’t had a choice in the matter; she was born a wolf shifter and would be one for the rest of her life.

She trailed her lover through his scent, eventually finding tracks along the way. They were paws, certainly, but big ones. She placed her own paw upon it, which was as tiny as a teaspoon in comparison.

Hannah was excited and concerned for him. He had survived the serum, which was a positive thing, and it thrilled her to no end. But that also meant that he was a shifter and was essentially born again, but into an adult body.

Children were accustomed to the changes in their bodies as shifters, which meant that all of their emotions, urges, and thoughts were turned up. Everything seemed to vibrate and shimmer, as sensitive as a dove in the moonlight.

Hannah recalled this feeling well as she went through puberty, the essence of her growing body and brain a constant balance between extremes. A teenager was going to go through changes anyway, but when one was a shifter, they literally had to cope with a fucking animal growing inside them.

She had dealt with it as well as a young girl with an alcoholic mother could have. She took to running in the woods often for therapy, tiring herself and her wolf enough to keep from being reactive to those around her.

It was just the beginning for Levi and his beast-like capabilities and desires.

Hannah continued deeper into the forest, the light fading above her head as she scampered on. His scent was getting stronger and stronger, and before she knew it, she felt a giant presence nearby.

He was technically a younger shifter than her, so his senses were sharp. He had been hiding in a bush, waiting to get a heads-first glance at the animal pursuing him. Levi was a big, flaming orange and black striped tiger. He leapt out of the bush and landed on top of her heavily.

She knew it was him immediately, and as he pinned her to the ground, she shifted back into her human form. He growled at her, drool falling onto her cheeks, his eyes blazing like a green inferno.

“Levi,” she whispered. “It’s me.”

His grimace shrank away slowly, and he shifted back. It was slower than Hannah’s and was ultimately painful. Bones had to readjust to human form, tail zip back into the spine, and fur retracted into the skin.

He groaned as he returned to his human form, looking quite like himself but an enhanced version.

Hannah felt breath hitch in her throat as she felt his naked body pinning her to the ground. The sight of his enlarged muscles, finely cut jaw, and the fierce hunger in his eyes made her clamp her thighs together.

Levi was panting above her, looking confused and riveted.

“Hannah,” he whispered. “Hannah, you’re here.”

She couldn’t help but laugh. She smiled beneath him, pretending to try to wriggle free from his hands that were still squeezing her wrists.

“I’m here, baby,” she said softly.

Levi continued to stare at her, eyes wandering to hers before he realized that she was nude beneath him. His eyes lit up like fireworks as he licked his lips, taking in her breasts and the way her breathing picked up its pace.

“Hannah, why,” he began, panting hard. “Why do I feel like I’m burning? My cock, my cock, it’s so hard …”

Hannah knew exactly what he needed. She lifted her hips and felt that he was indeed quite hard and began rubbing her wetness against the head of his cock. The look he gave her made her feel as if he was ready to devour her to the ends of her carnal delight.

“You’re okay,” she whispered, delightfully rubbing. “You just need to fuck me. You’ll be okay afterward.”

The arousal that came with being a shifter was so intense that it physically hurt. Despite having the time of her life, she had been pained the first time they went to bed together. But now, he could take her any way he wanted, and she could finally let herself go with her fated mate.

Levi continued to push against her wrists as his cock teased her clit. She groaned against him, urgency replacing any anxiety she had been feeling for the past few hours. She needed him and wanted him, just as much as he needed and wanted her.

“Take me now, baby,” she growled.

Levi gave in. He shoved his face against hers, and they engaged in the sexiest kiss Hannah could have ever imagined. They were both ferocious with a yearning for each other, moaning sharply as their tongues shoved into each other’s mouths. Levi bit her lip a few times, rough enough to make her bleed the second time.

She felt the trickle pour down her cheek as she gasped. He pulled away for a moment, looking like a hungry vampire.

“Sorry,” he said.

Hannah was still very much in control, despite being the one pinned to the ground. She figured that he must be holding her down out of habit, but she needed to let go. She needed him to take her, to be the alpha, and give her exactly what she needed.

“You can let me go,” she said, tasting the pennies in her mouth. “I need to lose it on you, and you need to lose it on me.”
