Abby
Karl and I glance over our shoulders one last time at the distant sound of the party before we burst into laughter.
He takes my hand, pulling me along after him. The cold night air nips at our cheeks as we run together, my heavy dress held up in one hand to keep it from slowing me down. The forest looms ahead, its dark silhouette seeming to beckon to me in the waning light.
Once we’re hidden within the line of trees, we come to a stop, breathlessly looking at each other for a long few moments. Karl’s brown eyes hold a mischievous glint, and his lips curl upwards into a playful smile.
“Ready, Abby?” he asks, his voice breathless and low. “To shift for the first time in…”
I nod eagerly, my heart pounding in my chest. “Yes,” I interrupt. “Yes, I am.”
Without another word, we begin our transformation.
It’s been years since I last shifted, and the anticipation makes the moment feel even more exhilarating. The sensation of fur sprouting from my skin, the elongation of limbs, and the sharpening of senses—it’s all an intoxicating rush.
And then, mere moments later, I’m in my wolf form for the first time in what feels like an eternity..
My senses expand, capturing the darkened forest in vivid detail. The rustling of leaves, the scent of pine, the cold earth beneath my paws—it’s all so vivid and alive. Karl stands in front of me, his red fur looking almost black in the dim light.
I nuzzle up against him, our fur brushing together, and we share a moment of unspoken connection. As wolves, words become unnecessary; our emotions flow through our touch and body language.
And then, with a shared understanding, we bolt forward, racing through the forest.
The thrill of the chase courses through us as we weave between trees, our instincts taking over. We jump over fallen logs and navigate the snowy terrain effortlessly. Every step feels invigorating, a sensation that I didn’t realize I was missing so much.
At one point, I slip behind a tree just before Karl rounds a bend in the path. I can hear him stop, looking around and sniffing the air curiously.
He can’t see me.
Then, with a soft growl, I bolt out from behind the tree and playfully tackle Karl, and we tumble into a soft bed of snow.
We nip at each other’s fur and growl with excitement as we roll through the snow like two kids on the run. The world becomes a blur of snow and black sky, but all I can see is Karl wrapped around me.
And in this moment, I feel an undeniable attraction to him. It’s as if the sensations from yesterday in the gym all come rushing back tenfold, and I can’t help but think about how I’d let him take me right here, right now, in the snow.
But then we pull apart, breathless and out of sorts. Karl darts away, and I scramble after him, excited to see where he’s leading us.
I follow Karl for a while longer, the sky gradually darkening overhead. Eventually, we slow our running to a trot, and then a side-by-side walk. The tranquil silence of the woods surrounds us, broken only by the soft crunch of snow beneath our paws. Eventually, we come to a complete stop alongside a frozen creek.
A moment later, we’re both back in our human forms. I’m still clutching Karl’s jacket around my shoulders, but the air feels strangely warmer here in the woods.
