Then Kaelani suddenly pulled back and without explanation, she grabbed his hand and started leading him across the hillside toward a massive tree rooted near the edge of the slope.

Kaelani glanced around once, then reached for the hem of her shirt.

Julian’s brows shot up.

“You know damn well I’d take you anytime, anywhere,” he said, eyes narrowing with suspicion. “But don’t you think we should maybe be a little more discreet?”

Kaelani looked at him.

Then laughed.

Actually laughed.

She slipped off another article of clothing and shook her head.

“You would think about sex right now.”

Julian stared at her.

Kaelani’s grin widened.

“I want to go for a run.”

A pause.

“As wolves.”

Realization crossed his face.

“Oh.”

He cleared his throat immediately.

“Yes. A run.”

He nodded once.

“Of course.”

His expression stayed perfectly serious.

“I knew that.”

Kaelani folded her arms.

“No, you didn’t,” she teased. “You thought we were about to hump each other in the grass.”

Julian looked offended.

“I would have objected

Kaplani stared at him.

Then laughed again.

“Yeah,” she said “Right”

Julian winked at her and began pulling off his own clothes, still wearing a smirk that said he had absolutely no shame in being thoroughly exposed.

By the time they had both finished undressing, Julian’s eyes drifted over her without apology, taking his time as his gaze traveled from head to toe.

Very slowly.

Very deliberately.

Kaelani lifted a brow.

His eyes lifted back to hers, completely unashamed.

“What?” he asked innocently.

Kaelani only smiled because she had been staring too.

Admiring.

Julian’s chest was broad and solid, defined muscle tapering into hard lines across his abdomen. Strength carved itself through his arms and shoulders, every inch of him built like something dangerous and unfairly beautiful.

Her gaze drifted lower.

Then lower.

And finally settled.

“…Oh.”

Julian looked at her accusingly.

“See what you did. I got a stiffy just looking at you.”

Kaelani tried not to laugh.

Tried.

She failed.

“I’ll be shifting now,” he announced.

Before she could respond, his body blurred and folded inward, power rippling through him as muscle and bone shifted seamlessly beneath dark fur

Moments later, a massive black wolf stood where Julian had been, brawny and imposing, his golden eyes fixed squarely on her.

Kaelani approached slowly, her hand lifting as her fingers disappeared into the thick fur behind his ears.

Instantly, his wolf leaned into the touch

Then he licked her face.

Once

Twice.

Three times.

By the fourth, it was less terrifying Alpha wolf and more overexcited pet greeting its favorite person after a lifetime apart.

Kaelani burst into laughter.

“Julian!”

His tail gave an entirely unapologetic swish.

Then violet light ignited around her.

Power rolled through her body in warm waves as bone and muscle shifted beneath her skin, shadows and light weaving together until a wolf stood where she once had.

Her fur ignited with flowing violet energy that moved beneath the surface like living fire. The same glow burned behind her eyes, soft and luminous against the daylight.
