Once In A Blue Moon

I started to try and buck him off but the wolf grabbed my ear between his teeth and growled. I froze and the wolf began to lick my ear carefully.

My wolf was suddenly pacing and growling in the back of my mind and I thought she was just as scared as I was. A black paw appeared close to the side of my head and before I could think about the consequences, I bit down sharply on his leg. The wolf yelped and shifted his weight back giving me a split second to buck him off and run.

I raced forward and my wolf started howling in my head. I ignored her but she grew louder. A word finally registered.

Mate.
