His murderous eyes scanned over my body, taking in everything they could. The stench of sickness floated through the air, making me cringe. His eyes went past me to Red, and widened with what could only be described as anger and confusion.
"What have you done?!" He cried angrily, almost falling forward. "You fucker!"
He lunged, making it barely past the doorway. I blocked his way and let him fall to the ground. I growled at the helpless figure curled up on the ground. He lifted his eyes to glare at me.
"Don't you see?" He cried loudly. "You've broken the spell! You've completed her transformation!"
He spewed out nonsense about curses and spells for the next few minutes, shuddering helplessly throughout his speech. At the end he coughed violently, allowing himself to fall on the ground for the last time, blood spewing out of his mouth. His eyes remained glaring, but they stared at nothing but emptiness. He was dead.
I turned to Red to make sure she was alright. She was shaking a little, but i smelled no fear on her. Her shuddering became more violent, and soon her whole body was convulsed in a shaking that could not be stopped. Her head was thrown back, and her spine curled. I could smell my own fear as she sat on the ground in a fit. Beads of sweat formed in my fur, and I looked away until her groaning and cries stopped.
When they died down, I turned to look at what remained of Red. To my surprise she was not dead, but curled up in the blanket from my bed. I approached cautiously. A low growl sounded from the sheet, and it was thrown onto my head. While blinded, something leaped at my back. I cried out and allowed myself to be pinned to the ground. The sheet was lifted from my face, and a tongue groomed my fur.
Red stood before me, unrecognizable. Soft white fur covered her body, and her appearance was that of a wolf. She led her tongue over my fur, washing all the sweat and grime from my body. Her tongue was cool, and seemed to help tremendously. I sat up and continued to stare at her.
"Red?" I asked, slightly in shock.
She glanced sideways at me, a playful smile forming on her lips. "That's right Artie. It's Red. I was contained in a human body, only to be released by an intimate moment with someone I loved."
She approached me and pressed herself against me, nuzzling me gently. "Still love me?"
"Are you kidding?" I replied. "I'm going to love you forever."

Months later, I prepared to become a father to young pups. Red was sleeping peacefully in the next room, tired due to the pregnancy. I walked over and nuzzled her softly, making sure not to wake her. As a werewolf, a monster, I did not expect my own happy ending. I was wrong. All it took was a small loss to show me that dreams could come true.
