w she knew.
“I have seen you looking at the forest every time you have gone out there. You don‘t have to ask
Abbie if you want to go. Just tell me, and I will
let the guards know so they can make sure you‘re safe. There are bears out there, so remain in the gua
rd‘s perimeter,” she says. I swallowed, looking at the door.
“You won‘t punish me when I return?” I asked. She looks appalled at my words.
“Honey, why would I punish you?” she chuckles, shaking her head.
“No reason. I just wanted to make sure it was okay. I don‘t want to get in trouble,” I admit.
“Go for a run, Abbie, and anyone tries to punish you for it. They will deal with the King and me,” Clarice
says. She nudges me toward the doors leading to the clothesline.
“Go on, have fun. I will let the guards on duty know you‘re out there,” she says. I nodded, yet I refused t
o get
excited. Instead, I was still hesitant. Even as I approached the forests edge. Glancing around nervously
, I waited a few minutes to see
if any guards suddenly rushed into the forest to search for me and drag me back, but I saw no one.
Stripping my clothes off, I laid them on a nearby fallen tree. Falling onto my hands and knees the dirt sq

hands, and feet replaced with paws and claws, my face elongated, and my tail bone twitched as my tail
zipped out. Shaking out my fur, I looked at my paws before becoming distracted by the swish of my tail
. It took me a good five minutes to stop from chasing the damn thing as it eluded my teeth.
Stretching, I sniffed the air. The scent of pine cones and damp soil invigorated
my senses, and my hearing perked at the crickets and tiny insects in the forest.I shot off, darting betwe
en the trees and jump ing over logs. Nothing felt more refreshing than feeling the dirt beneath my paws,
the air brushing through my fur as I rushed through the forest, cackling my head off. I felt free, alive, an
d so energized.
After about ten minutes of running, however, I heard the foliage move, and the wind changed direction,
making me halt when I picked up an unfamiliar yet familiar scent that was harder to pinpoint since my s
ense of smell was ridiculously strong in this form.
Twisting, I look for the intruder while scampering backward when a huge
Lycan steps out from be tween the trees. I drop my head before turning it, baring my neck to the beast.
I felt like I was about to wet myself when the huge, terrifying thing walked toward me, making a whimpe
r escape me.
“Don‘t be frightened, Abbie, it is only me?” the voice says, and my ears twitch on top of my head, his vo

Gannon laughed as my tongue swiped his fingers when I realized what he was doing when my nose br
ushed his furry knees. Overrun by my senses, I hadn‘t learned he was drawing his hand closer to hims

sud denly grab me, making me yelp loudly in fright.
He set me on his lap, his claws running through my fur as he brushed it.
“Well, aren‘t you a little ball of suff,” he laughs, stroking my fur like I was a damn pet, yet his claws felt n
ice raking through my thick coat. After a few minutes, I relaxed, realizing he was just petting me, not goi

purring like a damn cat and tried to scramble off his lap, only for him to drag me back and nip at my ear
with his sharp teeth.
“Stop; I don‘t care if you purr. I can purr too,” he laughs before purring, the noise rumbling from his ches

Gannon laughs, and I lick his chin, mortified at what I did. I froze, which only made him laugh harder.
“It‘s fine, Abbie; she–
wolves are attracted to dominant males; I expect you to act accordingly,” he laughs. “It doesn‘t bother
me,” he says before licking my face
and my eyeball, making my lashes stick to gether, and I had to blink to un–stick them.
“See, it doesn‘t bother me,” he says. My nose picks up the delicious scent
of the clouds when I lay my head across his lap, my nose sniffing the air before my face was in his bag,
sniffing around. I am never shifting again! Urges were impossible to control, I merely had to think some
thing, and I was acting on them.
My teeth pull the candy bag out, my tongue slipping in the little
bag, licking up the sugar when Gannon takes the
bag, pouring some in his hands, my wolf side going berserk on the damn things, even licking his fingers
like a pig. Yet Gannon didn‘t seem to mind, his hand on my rump while he let me lick the sugar from his
