was
overwhelmed and lost control.
     
    James realized what was happening; he had been running
tests and knew his gift had took hold in her, but this was the first time she'd
changed. He had remembered how disorienting his first time had been, and how
little control he'd had, so he'd formulated a plan to help her.
     
    He willed himself into bear form just as she'd launched
herself from the bed towards him. Her body crashed into his, but he was strong
enough to hold her still. She writhed in his grasp, and he could tell from her
scent that she was in heat. It was nearly overpowering, but he fought with all
his will to resist her. She needed to understand first.
     
    He held her until the struggling stopped. Eventually,
her breathing slowed and her body began to shake. James watched through animal
eyes as Nora shifted back into human form. She stood, naked and trembling in
his furry arms. He shifted as well, and soon her naked body was pressed against
his own. He struggled to put the scent of her desire from his mind, but his
thick cock still throbbed, pressed against her firm buttocks.
     
    Self awareness gradually returned to Nora, and the
warmth of Dr. Kent's body pressed against her battled with confusion for the
dominant place in her mind.
     
    As if sensing the conflict within her, Dr. Kent lifted
her and laid her back down upon the bed and stepped away.
     
    “W-what just happened?” she stammered.
     
    “God, Nora,” James began. “I really don't know where to
begin.”
     
    It was the first time Nora had seem him appear unsure
of himself, and strangely, she found that little bit of vulnerability
reassuring.
     
    “I did the only thing I could to save you...”
     
    He told her everything, sharing his secret with another
for the first time since he'd discovered what he was. He began with his attack
and his unusually quick recovery, then his wife's pregnancy and her untimely
death -how he hadn't discovered the cause until too late. He confessed to the tests
he had run, pleading with her, hoping she'd understand it was the only way to
find someone without putting them in danger.
     
    “I could tell from your scent you were different.
Everything about you just felt so right. I understood how an animal could select
their mate based on instinct alone. But I wanted to give you a choice, time for
you to come to love me on your own. I never wanted to force this upon you, but
it was the only way.”
     
    Nora wouldn't have believed him, but her heightened
senses told her it was the truth. It certainly explained the way her body was
reacting to him. Could he really have been destined to be her mate? Her body
certainly seemed to think so. She took a deep breath and her nostrils filled
with the scent of him. She struggled against the idea that she had no choice in
her mate, that it was all fate, or genetics. But there was no denying the
effect he had on her.
     
    “I can teach you to control it,” James said.
     
    “I'm not sure I want to,” Nora replied. Everything felt
different now, more real. All of her senses were abuzz with new sensations. She
was aware of the heat burning within her, and recognized there was more to her
lust than she'd experienced before. It had a new dimension; a feeling that had
long been buried rose to the surface. She needed to bear a child.
     
    James laughed. “I know what you mean. Luckily, the best
way to reign in your animal nature is to understand it. You have to experience
it fully, know what it really means. It doesn't matter what form you're in,
it's always there. You have no choice in what you are, but you can still choose
who you wish to share yourself with.”
    He looked at her and saw his own desires mirrored in
her eyes. Nora couldn't deny the way she felt; there was no logical
explanation, but somehow she knew it was true. He was her mate.
     
    Nora let her eyes roam down his naked form, admiring
his muscled body. His cock had remained erect throughout their conversation;
his
