After we had stepped out and howled, everyone shifted into people and they began a wild party. Concentrating I shifted back in my human form. I looked around at the party-ers and back to Weston

"Do we stay?"

He looked at me with his crystal clear eyes "Only if you want to."

I ducked my head shyly "I want to leave."

He smiled and led me out of the house. Walking together to the car Weston opened the door and I slid in next to him. I looked out the window watching the passing scenery. Rolling down the window I took a deep breath testing my new abilities. I took in the smells and sound of the passing forest. The fresh scent of pine, earthy smell of the ground, crisp grass. The sounds of birds chirping and singing, the soft steps of forest creatures and the light trickle of water. A hand was placed on my shoulder and I turned.

"You hear it all don't you?"

I smiled "Yes. I didn't realize the forest was so, so..."

"Alive?"

"Yeah."

He smiled "The difference is wonderful isn't it."

I nodded, then looked at Weston a question on my lips "Weston, were you born or made a werewolf?"

"Born of course."

"Could I make others a werewolf?"

"No that's basically the only difference."

After digging deeper into my questions we arrived home and we walked to the door holding hands. I stood in the doorway.

Weston turned around noticing me not following him "Something wrong?"

"What now?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, I'm a werewolf what now?"

He opened his mouth then closed it also pondering what I said. "Well not necessarily, we could run the forest?"

"Run? Like run around and leap about like um animals?

He smirked, "You're asking whether we will go as a werewolf or a human."

I shifted "Well yes."

"We will run as wolves you should get used to it, being a wolf."

I forgot I was technically a forest creature "Shall we go?"

Taking my hand Weston led me to the backyard. I supposed it was the quickest way since the yard had no fence separating itself from the woods.

Weston instantly shifted, long silky fur growing all over. His limbs grew larger and more muscular sharp claws sprouting from his hands and a long tail form the bottom of his back.

I closed my eyes and concentrated on shifting the change. Feeling fur grow and my limbs grow I opened my eyes and everything was sharper clearer. Looking down I saw my paws and knew I transformed successfully.

Weston walked a few steps forward waiting for me to follow suit. I did and we ran off into the forest. I felt the crisp cold air all spring me as we ran deep into the forest.

Once again I hear the sounds and smells of the forest making it, as Weston said before, alive.

Weston stopped and I padded up next to him. Looking into his eyes I smiled "Go?"

"Already ahead of you."

And like that he zipped off into the forest and I followed closely. Our breaths came out of puffs of air and the cold air cooled our warm bodies. I took large and deep breaths taking in the smell of pine, earth, fresh grass it can go in and on.

Weston stopped and I skidded into him. Walking around him I saw a beautiful lake. The water was so clear I saw the gravel on the floor. Willows grew all around the lake making it a private area. I gasped and looked to Weston.

"Did you plan this?"

He smiled warmly "Of course."

I smiled back and shifted, my arms and legs shortening and fur receding. Weston did the same.

I was still wearing my white dress and Weston in his white button-up and black slacks. He tore off his shirt and ripped his pants right under the knee. His abdomen is so perfect. It was muscular, ripped. I could go on and on. He noticed me ogling and smirked.

"Like what you see?"

Blushing fiercely I looked away. Large arms wrapped around me and I turned to Weston who wrapped his arms around me.

"Want to swim?" He said it so huskily, how could I refuse?

I nodded. He led me by the hand to the crystal lake and he waded in. I stopped at the edge dipping my toes into the cool water. Somehow was warm and cold temperature. I took another step and another, I continued this until the water reached my waist. My white dress floated around my ankles flowing and gliding through the water.

Weston was already swimming. He was moving through the water in graceful swift moves. I watched him in awe. Weston sprang up for air.

His hair had droplets flying as he shook out the water. His abdomen muscles had water running down the water reflecting bits of the moon. His chiseled face was even more defined with the water droplets that ran down his face.

I blushed embarrassed at my staring. Weston turned to me and smiled.

"Come in more Evelyn."

"O-Ok."

I took a few more cautious steps and then swam to him with silent strokes. When I was close enough he swept me into his arms.

"I love you."

I hugged his waist feeling his strong back muscles.

"I love you too Weston."

He smiled down at me and lighted me into the air. Water went flying and I giggled. Weston smiled and slowly let me down. He swam around and did all sorts of tricks I watched him fascinated by his water agility.

I floated around watching my dress continues to glide around me loving how it floats gracefully in the water, like Weston.

I waded over to him and wrapped my arms around him. He turned to me and swept me into his arms. And as usual, he nuzzled into my neck. He began to kiss my neck up trailing up to my ear and down to the bottom of my neck.

Weston became more sloppy and faster with his kisses like he couldn't get enough. I brought his face up to mine and looked into his eyes. Slowly I closed the distance between our lips and kissed him. He held me and I held him back.

I felt so complete here in his arms.
