Huskies POV

Not long after breakfast Wolf took Max upstairs and Panther took off to spy on the other us up the mountain. What came back down the stairs was my mate still looking like a furry and well, a little boy furry. Once again Max had changed his shape, but this time he was a little different then last time. He looked like Wolf only smaller. He was an exact copy of Wolf all the way down to the little fur tufts on his ears. I really have to admit, he looked really cute that way.

    Max ran to me and jumped in to my arms. "I wook wike daddy now. Cool wite? Can we go pay out side now?" God he was so cute at this age. I really really hope he stays like this.

    "You look really cool my little wolfe. And yes, you and daddy go play in the back yard for a while. Just stay close, I wouldn't want my little wolfe to get lost in the woods, ok?" He nodded and hugged me. I hugged him back and then let him go. Wolf grabbed his hand and they walked out the back door.

    "You know." Bear started. "If this continues, you're going to have to stay in your half form. I'm surprised that you weren't the first to do that. And I was thinking, maybe, when Max gets older again, I might ask him to have a gen 2 suite like you guys have. Seeing all that you two can do, I'm actually getting a little jealous."

    I spun to look at him with tears in my eyes. My smile changing to one of sadness and worry. "You don't want one, trust me on this. You'll regret it. Maybe not right a way. But you will." I turned to the living room and walked away. I wiped the tears from my face as I walked. Bear had no clue what the real cost of having these abilities were. And I hoped he never would have to find out. Max knows, and I think Wolf is finally finding out. But I knew them. I knew and excepted them. I excepted them for Max. I wanted to take care of Max and be by his side forever. He feels like my real son now. I would do anything for him.

    As I sat down Bear Bull and Danual fallowed me. They sat down and stared at me. Bear asked "What do you mean by that? What will we regret?" I shook my head not wanting to tell them. Not wanting them to know what the side affects are. But he pushed. "We need to know. If there is something that you guys are going through that might jeopardize a mission or that might harm any of us, we need to know." I shook my head but I knew he would push, and he did. "Fine. Unless you tell me, I can only assume that it will compromise our mission. And if that's the case, I'm done. When Max gets back and he takes us home, I'm done. You can do it by yourself."

    I knew he was bluffing. He had to be. He loved Max too. He would never abandon him. But, would he? Would he really stop helping and protecting Max? I looked up at him and saw the look in his eyes. He was serious about this. "How are your knees Bear? And how are all of your scars? Are they still there?" I watched him. He was trying to thank about his knees and scars. Did he realize that they were all gone yet? Did he understand what that meant? "I noticed that your salt and pepper hair color is more pepper and a lot less salt lately. Are you feeling younger yet? That's what a gen 1 can do. Now imagine what a gen 2 can do. Would you like to live forever?"

    That got his attention, he snapped his head back up to stare at me. His jaw tightened for a moment then he relaxed a little. "So are you telling me that you are immortal now? That you will live forever? You Wolf and Max are never going to die?"

    I shook my head a little keeping my eyes on him. "No." I said firmly. "I don't think we will live forever. But I can see us living for a coupe of hundred years. Maybe even longer. If we can change our shapes then what's to stop us from leaving that long? You guys can sudo shape shift and the suits that you had helped your bodies heal and heal faster from new injuries. You guys are going to live longer then you thought. Maybe you will be 150 years old before you die. And most if not all of that time you will be healthy and active. But as for me and Wolf. I'm not sure how long we will live. And Max. How long will he be alone in the world after we all die. He can shift his shape in to almost anything. Anything alive I'm guessing. But what's the toll he's paying for that? I'm sure if I practice I could look his age. I could become a 5 year old and run around looking like he does right now. I mean, look at Wolf and what he can do. The jokes about us going back in time and being the first werewolves might not be a joke. We could really do that. And the meths about them might be true. And if even one of us looses out humanity and quits carrying about people. Well, that person could be the first vampire. A human that lives for a long time. One that can change shapes. Who does that sound like to you?"
