Thea & The Wolf

Chapter Two

Thea

My hands grasp at air as I fall, everything is black. The air rushing past me drowns out all other sounds including my screams. As quick as the darkness arrives it disappears.

Stars and trees taller than I'd ever seen in shades of green, purple, yellow and blue blur past me making the sky look like a smeared painting.

My body slams into concrete every bone in me screams at the impact. I gasp a silent scream as a mouthful water fills my lungs, so not concrete but water.

I continue to sink deeper into the inky abyss, swimming is useless my body can no longer keep up. Blood loss and shock take over, as I lose consciousness I send out a final prayer.

~~~~~~

The pain consumes all my thoughts at first, I'm struggling to breathe through the pulsing slice on my neck and slow rocking of my body isn't helping.

Cracking open my eyes my long red hair covers my face. The world spins around me through bleary eyes the faint outline of legs and a very large back with black markings swirls into view. Too large to be female.

My vision washes away, I don't know who this is but I can't stop myself from resting on the warm, soft expanse of his back.

Desperate to believe he's good, I let the blackness take me again and disregard the consequences.

The small female is still unconscious.

Finding her floating in the Lake of The Lost was pure luck, many have died tangled in it's web.

The weeds that sit on the bottom of the lake have been a toxin that eats through skin and bone until there's nothing left. I wouldn't of even heard her fall in if I wasn't in my fur.

Kicking in the door I quickly place her on the bed that sits against the back wall. Grabbing a blanket I wrap her up tightly trying to warm her shivering form.

She was smaller than any female I'd encountered before. Her long red hair curled on the ends while her pale skin looked smooth and enticing but not as enticing as her plump red lips. Her long eyelashes rested against her cheekbones and her wet dress clung to her body, outlining a full chest and generous hips only broken up by a narrow waist.

Between her innocent appearance and intoxicating scent my beast was desperate to mount her. I have never had such an instant, strong desire before. A part of me wanted to make her mine, rub myself on her till she reeked of my scent.

My groin tightened the more I thought of her. Shaking my head I back away, she would need rest, medical attention not me hovering over like a horny animal.

Dipping my head down I carefully wrap her neck while trying to ignore the sweet scent that seeps off of her. Being close clouds my senses and I can't stop myself from running my nose across her cheek, inhaling her one more time.

God's what was it with her? My wolf and I were not affectionate creatures, yet I was ready to curl my body around hers just to feel her skin touch mine. It was unnatural to care so much about a stranger.

Walking away from her I begin skinning an animal for dinner, the female would surely be hungry when she woke.

I sat up drowsily taking in unfamiliar surroundings.

My heart started to pound in my ears. Shouldn't I be in my bed at the foster hom-... it all comes crashing back to me at once.
