She laughed, held his hand, and dragged him outside of the woods. It was already evening and the color of the water was being affected by the hues of the sky. Deep tints of blue, green, and red prevailed over the surface of the lake as the sun set behind the hills. The lake was even more gorgeous as the night fell.

They slept on the soft grass under the blue canopy of the bright starry night. When it became chilly, Dmitri shape shifted and Adrianna nuzzled into him. With the waves rippling at their feet, the scenery was beautiful beyond expression.

​​

In the morning, Dmitri could not resist the temptation to bathe in the lake and so he stripped himself of his clothing and just waded in. As soon as he dipped his body in, the first dip took his breath away. The water was freezing cold even for a werewolf. He stopped breathing as Adrianna laughed at his stunt. He had to come back to the shore to breathe. When he found his breath, Adrianna discovered that his skin had become red.

"That lake is inhospitable," he complained to Adrianna who embraced him to pass her heat to his body.

They stayed there for the next two days and explored the mountains and the lush green forest. There was no one to watch them. One day after teasing Dmitri, Adrianna had run over to the top of the nearby hill with Dmitri following her. He wanted to catch her and pin her to the ground. But she was swift. Finally, when he caught her, he said, "Adri, just wait till I haul you up that rock and throw you down from there."

Adrianna laughed. They ran together and arrived at a high elevation on the mountain that was quite remote. Along with her, he moved closer to the rocky edge and took a glimpse of the vertical scree below. Not waiting any longer, he jumped down and landed in the space in between the two peaks and descended to a point where they narrowed enough for him to support his back on one peak his outstretched leg on the other. He looked up at her with inviting eyes. He was calling for her and it was hard to resist. She jumped towards him and he caught her. He pressed her against the hard rock of the summit.

It was an ecstatic moment as their heart beat together. She closed her eyes and felt his hands wandering all over her and touching her everywhere. His mouth was passing over her with a wolf like sharpness as his teeth started sinking into her fleshy parts. He held her tightly around the waist with his muscular arms and jumped down from there to softly land on the meadows beneath.

He removed her clothes and she lay naked beneath him, his full length covering her body. In his human form, his arms instantly cradled his mate as they held her face close to his before he plunged his tongue into her mouth, making her moan. He had waited for her, his mate, for so long that it all appeared surreal now.

He caressed her body as she flushed and panted before he flipped her over him, making him on bottom. Not removing his mouth from hers, they rolled on the grass until she was beneath him again. His wolf growled lustfully as her nails dug into his flesh. She wrapped her long legs around his waist, pressing him close to her.

"Adri, don't ever leave me..." he said as he left her lips and saw the dark emotions in her eyes.

"Never..."

He brushed some of her hair back away from her face. He saw her neck and his mark which had completely healed, leaving only two signs of his teeth there. He licked his mark and sucked at the skin. Slowly, he kissed her as he moved further down. He reached for her breasts and dug his teeth in. She pulled at his hair, drawing a throaty moan from him. She was giving her mind, her body, and her soul to him.

They had been wandering around a little when the sky became overcast with clouds. It started thundering and they could see threatening lightning flash across the sky. Soon, it started raining and they ran to find cover for themselves. They entered a small cave drenched to the skin. Their last experience had been exhilarating.

"We will go back to the pack tomorrow Adrianna," said Dmitri in a serious tone.

Adrianna was sitting on the floor and plucking some grass. "Why?" she whined. "Let us stay longer..."

He came over, sat next to her, and pulled her onto his lap. "I wish we could…" he said as he rested his face on her shoulder and looked out to watch as the rain poured.

It didn't take a long time for the clouds to become darker and for the thunder to become louder. It was unusual. A strong lighting escaped from the clouds and struck in the center of the lake. Adrianna and Dmitri were both finding it strange.

"There is someone invading our territory!"

"I knew it. We shouldn't have let them stay. See they have brought nuisances."

Suddenly Adrianna heard the animals speak. When she heard them, she said with suspicipus tone, "There is someone else here Dmitri - someone other than us."

"It can't be! No one knows about this place Adri," he was shocked.
