"How do you feel?" Mitch whispers and closes the book without looking at me still.
"I feel... stronger. And my throat is kind of dry." I scratch at my itchy throat. "Do you have water?"
He chuckles. "Water won't satisfy that thirst." Within the blin...
"Oh my God, Scott, you did it! You overcame his power!" I exclaim and throw my arms around his neck.
He pulls back and stares into my eyes. "As soon as you said that you loved me too and then that he wanted to kill you, I had to keep myself from killing him. So I just settled with leaving." He smirks. "I love you."
"I love you too." I put my hand on the back of his neck and pull him down, softly pressing my lips against his. "I missed you." I murmur after we pull away.
I hear Kirstie awkwardly clear her throat. We both pull out of our trance and look at her. "So Mitch... um... who's your friend?" She gestures toward Scott with a blush evident on her cheeks.
"I'm Scott." He steps forward and holds his hand out. She shakes it happily. "Mitch took me in about a month ago and helped me through my transition. And now we're here."
Kirstie's blush gets even darker. "By helped you mean..." I nod my head slowly. "So he had the stuff from the healers." I nod my head again.
"I found out again how vocal Mitch is." Avi cuts in with a smirk.
"Wow okay." Kirstie says, giggling.
"Alright let's get Scott home before Alex comes out here and kills us all." I say, ushering them off the front lawn.
When we get back to the house, Scott is staring at Kirstie.
"Scott, do you need something from her?" I say with a small laugh behind my voice.
"So this is Kirstie? The only female alpha in the country." He says still eyeing her.
Hey eyes light up. "Yes I am."
"Can... Can I see you?"
"As in my wolf?" She asks, raising a curious eyebrow at the blond.
"Yeah." He says, plopping down on my couch like he's at home. He is at home.
"Okay..." She says. "Let's go outside, though. Mitchie and I knows what happens when I transform inside of homes."
I can't help but giggle. Last time she transformed in my home, she got really pissed off and it ripped out of her. She shredded my couch and shattered my center table. There were also claw imprints all over my wall. She almost killed Kevin that day.
We walk out to my backyard. There is some thick forestry behind my home because I practically live in the middle of nowhere.
"Alright, you ready?" She asks and Scott nods with enthusiasm.
"Mitchie told me your wolf is really pretty."
"Well I guess you're about to find out." She smirks. "I would take step back if I were you." We all take at least 3 steps backwards.
She takes a deep breath, focusing on one spot on the ground. Her body shudders and starts twitching. Within moments, the deep rumbling in her chest grows until it is fully audible to everyone. Then suddenly, the beast inside of her is released and before us stands a beautiful white wolf, with piercing green eyes.

"Holy fucking shit, you're huge. And you're..." Scott says in amazement, staring at Kirstie's wolf. "You're beautiful." He finishes with a small smile.
Kirstie doesn't answer, of course. She just nudges Scott's hand with her head and pushes it into it's resting between her ears. She wiggles her head a little bit to give him the hint.
It takes him a few moments but he catches on and starts scratching. Kirstie's tail goes crazy and she pushes into his touch, begging silently for more with her eyes closed.
I take the moment of her vulnerability to rub her favorite spot. I dive towards her side and start rubbing the lower side of her tummy. She instantly flips over on instinct, almost kicking Scott in the face as she kicks involuntarily. After a while, I hear her in my head over my giggles.
"Mitch, I'm ready to change back. I'm going to the woods." Then suddenly she's up and sprinting towards the forest. Scott and Avi look confused.
"She's changing back." I explain.
Scott still looks bewildered. "Why does she need to leave to change back?" He asks.
I point to the ground, more at the small pile of shredded fabric. "She doesn't change back fully dressed. She always carries around a small pouch with a change of clothes. She doesn't want three men, gay or not, to see her naked."
Scott nods understandingly. A few seconds later, Kirstie emerges from the forestry in her human form, smirking slightly. "So... what do you think?" She asks.
"Wow." Is all Scott says but Kirstie starts giggling.
We go back inside and gather in my living room again. Scott and I are on the loveseat, Kirstie is in my recliner, and Avi is situated on the couch.
We hold a conversation for a while until suddenly my front door opens.
