"Wow, Jade... you're big," Alex said, staring at me.

There was something different about the way he looked at me. Almost like he couldn't believe how much I had changed.

I smiled.

Sabrina started talking to me in my mind again.

*I know he likes what you look like as a full wolf. And you're going to look like this when you're older too, so I guess you get to look like a full wolf either way.*

*I like it. I feel nice and strong. Can I turn into this again if I turn back into human again?*

*Umm... you may if you want to, but only three times. Because your full wolf transformation is painful after three times. If you wanna be this a third time, you won't be able to walk for a bit, but if you do it one more time, you'll be okay.*

*Umm... nice to know. I'll just do it one more time again.*

*By the way, you'll be human after this moon. You'll be you again.*

*OMG, really? I miss being human and riding Lex.*

*Who's Lex? And ride?*

*Oh, she's my horse that I train and do things with.*

*Oooo, cool! A horse? That's a wild thing to be on. You are strong to be on one. Cool.*

I laughed quietly.

Alex walked over to me.

"Hey, can we go out into the woods?"

Sabrina spoke inside my head.

*Go ahead. Have fun.*

I looked at Alex.

"Sure."

We walked toward the woods together.

Alex suddenly stopped.

"Wait. I want to show you something."

Before I could answer, he changed into his wolf.

His wolf was smaller than mine, and I looked down at him.

"Wow... you're big too."

He looked up at me.

"I'm taller when I'm human, too."

I laughed.

"So, for the wolves, I guess she's bigger than me right now."

"Ha! Look who's bigger now!"

I ran past him through the trees.

"Hey!"

I could hear Alex chasing after me.

I was faster.

Much faster.

I slowed down and waited for him.

Alex finally caught up.

"Damn, Jade. You're fast."

I smiled and ran around him.

He tried to catch me, but I kept moving just out of reach.

Finally, I stopped.

Alex came running toward me, and I jumped onto him.

He nearly fell over.

"Jade!"

I laughed.

"Sorry!"

He looked up at me and smiled.

"You're trouble."

"You love it."

"I really fucking do."

I leaned closer and kissed him.

For a moment, everything around us disappeared.

The trees.

The moon.

The cold air.

It was just me and Alex.

I pulled away slightly and looked into his eyes.

"I love you so much."

"I love you too."

He kissed me again, and I wrapped my arms around him.

I was careful not to hurt him. I was bigger and stronger now, and I didn't want my new strength to get in the way of what I wanted.

That night, Alex and I stayed together in the woods, laughing, talking, chasing each other through the trees, and stealing kisses whenever we could.

For the first time, I wasn't worried about being a wolf.

I wasn't scared of my strength.

I wasn't scared of what I had become.

I was just Jade.

And I was with the person I loved.

That night, Alex and I were one.

And I loved him more than anything.

And I loved him more than anything
