Dark Twin Moon - The Awakening

Chapter 11:

"I'm sorry, dude. But I have nowhere else to go right now," the guy on the other side of the door said. "May I come inside?" He continued to question Kayleb in a pleasantly soothing voice. He was naked as the moon god created him - his smell gave him away as a werewolf. Kayleb could see the well-defined abdominal and arm muscles: he was on cloud nine just looking at his built body. But before the guy could see the growing blush on Kayleb's pale skin, he shuffled behind the door to let the guy in.

The naked guy came in nervously and began to say quietly, "Thank you. I know you don't like it when someone invades your territory, but as you can see, I'm not wearing any clothes, and your home was the closest."

Kayleb barely paid attention to the guy's words. His eyes and attention are fixed almost solely on his muscular body, mostly because he doesn't even try to hide his naked frame.

It even seemed like he was deliberately showing off in front of the young Alpha lycan, who was struggling to avert his gaze. Every time he tried, he failed miserably, which made his longing even more apparent.

Kayleb stared silently, causing the stranger to ponder. After a long moment, the stranger realized that Kayleb was admiring him, maybe too much. With a big grin, he cleared his throat in a clear, smug tone. As Kayleb shook his head, he knew he roused the lycan from his daydreams. Without a word, Kayleb left the stranger alone in the foyer. Leaving him looking after him, confused. He considered a polite way to exit silently. But before he could do anything, Kayleb turned a corner and tossed some clothes at him.

"Once you're dressed, you'll better explain why you're naked in my home." He tried with all his might to sound calm, but just thinking about that beautiful body made him tremble a little.

He didn't see the guy's simple nod for the clothes he might have thrown at him with too much force - which he just did because he was embarrassed. It didn't take long before he changed into the clothes Kayleb had given him and followed the red-faced lycan further into the house, straight into the kitchen.

Where he sat with a mug in his hand and two plates of food in front of him.

"Please sit down and explain yourself," he told the guy without looking up. Now that he had something on his gorgeous body, he found his normal earnest tone.

"Among our packs, we talk a lot, and I mean a lot, even if we can't stand each other. Some jock-wolf from the Northern Blue pack has been telling everyone who would listen how crazy you are, that he fears for his life, and that we should all join forces to get you out of town or kill you."

At the mention of killing, Kayleb finally looked up. That's when he saw the stranger's beautiful face for the first time. He quickly realized that it wasn't a stranger but someone he knew: James. Kayleb's mouth opened and stayed there for a while, not fully processing that he saw his friend fully nude.

He tried to say something a few times, but nothing came out. James was beginning to worry, so much so that his eyebrows wrinkled his forehead.

"Is everything ok? I know that's a lot, but I wanted you to know that my pack would never do that. Even though we've only known each other for a while, we're excited to have you as part of our little family."

His smile could light up an entire room. Not even Kayleb, with his mood swings, could do anything but slowly become happier.

"You can speak?" Kayleb finally managed to choke out. But again, he got nervous. He didn't want it to come off that way. More sensible and not as rushed.

"Yeah, that's another story, but I have to finish the first one," he told him with a wink, which made Kayleb even more nervous. James smiled before chuckling heartily and continuing to speak, "I got angry, transformed, and attacked. Along with my pack, I fought some of them. But by that point, my clothes were already ruined and-" Looking up from his little monolog, he could see attentive eyes on him. "I forgot you're a lycan, sorry." He looked down, his right hand rubbing the back of his neck in embarrassment. The little red glowing spots on the tips of his ears could not be overlooked either.
