The night had deepened.

Andi’s old Jeep creaked as it came to a stop near the edge of the woods. They were far from the school now, far from the crowd and far from the watchful eyes of her family. The only light came from the sliver of moon peeking through the drifting clouds. The air was thick with humidity and scent damp leaves, wildflowers, and something deeper, more feral.

Lyra’s skin felt hot to the touch. Her breathing was shallow. Something inside her pulsed, throbbed urging her forward, to claim, to devour.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImD4ncsOvX
Andi leaned over, brushing a kiss against her neck. “God, you feel electric tonight.”
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCnqtCtNSw
She didn’t respond with words. She kissed him deep and desperate. Her hands clutched his shirt, pulling him close. His body was warm, willing, but even as their lips locked, something in her recoiled. His touch was eager… but thin. His scent sweet… but not satisfying. She wanted more. Needed more.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYc9LzA5ko
She wanted strength. Depth. Dominance.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgOKru4zE9
Andi wasn’t it.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pB3YiBKUl
Her eyes opened mid-kiss, glowing faintly golden.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8fO2XcJ4J
“Lyra…?”
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABHkP4huCw
But she was already pulling away, her breath ragged. “I’m sorry.”
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkc1vrGuRjR
“What’s wrong?”
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYpCZL6Nh7
“I” She clutched her chest. Her pulse raced. Her skin itched. Her bones felt like they were bending beneath her. “I need to go.”
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavVPsHjI1F
She flung the door open and stumbled out into the woods.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPL7G0PmIP
“Lyra! Wait!”
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBc6LEW693
She ran.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeGjOdOzyJ
Faster than she ever had. The wind sliced past her face, her feet barely touching the ground. Her nails were longer now. Her breathing shallow, but rhythmic. Her body was changing, not entirely into the beast her parents feared, but into something in between. A creature in heat. A female predator.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycDzqTc3OD
Her instincts dragged her toward the scent. It wasn’t Andi. It wasn’t random. It was something familiar, comforting... Jhon.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jujY1tKpo
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoC5gWxHph
He lived a few blocks past the school, alone in the cottage his grandfather left him. Quiet, rugged, older by a few years. Jhon had always looked at Lyra like she was something untouchable but she had seen the way his gaze lingered. The pulse in his neck quicken. The hesitation in his voice.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47IG98JGOV
He wanted her. Always had.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSZr9U94vW
And tonight... he would have her.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeGsZDRlTg
By the time she reached his door, her dress was half torn, her breathing harsh, hair damp with sweat and rain. She didn’t knock. She crashed through it, her eyes wild, her body trembling with lust and change.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSm5dr5Emw
Jhon stepped into view, shirtless, holding a mug of tea eyes wide.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpua1qfldY4
“Lyra?”
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojxLQxZJWQ
Her lips were on his before the question finished. Her kiss was hunger and fire. He didn’t pull away. He knew. He had always known something about her was different. And still, he welcomed it.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyO2ptBeVEI
She tore the mug from his hand, letting it crash to the floor, then shoved him backward until he hit the couch. She straddled him in one fluid motion, her thighs gripping his hips, her fingers in his hair.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdGhUVEQu2
“You’ve wanted me,” she growled against his throat. “I could smell it.”
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNXeedIxDY
Jhon swallowed, his voice low and hoarse. “I still do.”
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1pjYl110q
He didn’t ask what she was. He didn’t tremble. He touched her the way no boy ever had without fear. His hands explored her body with reverence and craving. When his fingers brushed her spine, she arched like a bow, moaning deep in her throat. Her nails dragged down his chest, leaving red trails.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0cAqM8hco
Her fangs brushed his shoulder, but she didn’t bite not yet.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSIq6fyUp0
They shed clothes in between gasps and growls. Skin against skin. Every inch of her burned for him. His body was strong, but more than that he yielded, not out of fear, but out of desire.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YZQ8JkIh4
When he entered her, she cried out not in pain, but release. Her back arched, her body convulsed. It was as though the beast inside her paused, stunned by the perfect union of power and surrender.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQx7wG1iFx
Their rhythm was wild. Her hips moved with primal force, but every time she looked into his eyes, she saw not terror but awe. Admiration. Love.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkx9j03IRe
His fingers gripped her thighs, holding her as though anchoring her to the world. She howled once, loud enough to shake the windows. Her transformation surged to the edge of the surface her eyes gold, her teeth sharp but she held it back.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggt8cVK2WK
Because she didn’t want to scare him.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MCx6UHn9p
But Jhon cupped her face, kissed her lips, then her forehead, and whispered, “You don’t have to hide.”
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TlW5XmHc5
Her chest trembled.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQLvz5t7UU
“I know what you are,” he said. “And I’m not afraid.”
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNytLutCRIQ
She broke then not from lust, but from something deeper. She kissed him softer now. Her hands gentler. Their pace slowed, deeper, fuller no longer just wild, but intimate. Sacred.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8w2UAwtv3O
They moved together like nature itself storm and earth, wind and flame.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRweqRzIWk
When she finally came undone, she cried out his name like a sacred word. He followed soon after, his arms wrapped tight around her body.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPwJSCzdMv
They collapsed against each other, sweat-drenched and gasping. Her heart pounded against his chest. The clouds outside parted, and the full moon bathed them in silver light through the broken door.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuuSbJANn1
Her skin shimmered faintly.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyFaKr5byE
He looked up at her, brushed a strand of damp hair from her cheek, and smiled. “You’re beautiful.”
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiEwLfyqKg
“You’re crazy,” she whispered. “I’m a... monster.”
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWt4nSclCc
“You’re mine,” he said, without hesitation. “If you’ll have me.”
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUqK5ECTZj
Tears welled in her eyes not from weakness, but from belonging.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkH5RcikQ5q
“I will,” she said softly. “But I’m not human. I’ll change. Every full moon, I’ll crave... blood. Hunger. Sex. Power.”
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMnMmljpLi
“Then I’ll be there. Every time,” he said, pulling her close. “Let me be your anchor. Let me be your alpha.”
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fhW1jfYcQ
And with those words, the beast inside Lyra purred.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWqNvrpkUE
For the first time in her life, she wasn’t at war with herself. She was whole.
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfivMEPCIHg
And under the Blood Moon, she chose her mate not the one chosen for her, not one offered out of fear, but one who saw her... and stayed.
