daylight.”
     
    They continued walking through the snowy wilderness hand in hand and Lyanne started to relax and appreciate the beauty of their surroundings. The earlier awkwardness between them melted away as quickly as the snowflakes hitting the ground around them.
     
    The forest was truly magical, Lyanne had never noticed how captivating it truly was until now, Darian knew every inch of it as he took them on twists and turns through the trees. They turned a corner and both froze, standing in front of them with its bristling fur and ears standing erect was a lone wolf, the first thing Lyanne noticed were the sharp teeth the second thing she noticed were the cold amber colored eyes just staring right at them. She felt Darian release her hand.
     
    “Don’t move Lyanne, stand perfectly still,” he whispered to her, truth is she couldn’t have moved if she’d wanted to as she was frozen with pure fear.
     
    The wolf wasn’t moving there was no indication of what it intended to do next. Lyanne saw the staring amber eyes shift their gaze to her side, it was looking downward. She followed the wolf’s eyes and standing by her side was another wolf, not Darian anymore but a wolf. It turned and looked at Lyanne with warm eyes, she’d know those hazel eyes anywhere she felt as though her legs would buckle underneath her Lyanne’s breathing was fast and erratic, she felt sick.
     
    The wolf beside her started to creep slowly forward not shifting its gaze from the other wolf, it stood in front of Lyanne. The other wolf flattened its ears and lowered its body toward the cold snow, its lips were still drawn back but the snarling had stopped. To Lyanne it looked as though it was being submissive to Darian, the wolf took one last look toward Lyanne then turned tail and vanished into the wilderness.

    Lyanne dropped to her knees on the icy snow and buried her head in her hands.
     
    “Lyanne, Lyanne are you okay?” Darian’s voice was filled with concern. Lyanne looked up and saw his warm hazel eyes, she tried to stand on shaky legs but fell to her knees again.
     
    Darian went to help her up but she shoved him away, “What the fuck was that?” she spat the words at him.
     
    “What did you want me to do? I didn’t get the opportunity to explain to you what was about to happen Lyanne, well now you’ve seen my inner wolf. I had to protect you, and the only way to do that successfully was to shift.”
     
    She knew what he was saying was true but it was a shock to the system for her, one minute he’d been Darian and the next a wolf.
     
    “So you can just shift in an instant?” she asked, as she eventually stood up still keeping her distance from him.
     
    “If I sense any imminent danger yes and I used to shift to hunt with my pack, but as you know only they hunt now I eat regular food.”
     
    Lyanne didn’t know what to say or what to feel. She knew what Darian was, and yet seeing him shift into his wolf had brought clarity to the whole concept. She preferred the mystery of his inner wolf and not actually knowing it or seeing it, this was all a bit freaky for her.
     
    “You don’t like what you saw do you?” he said, as if reading her thoughts.
     
    She looked at him and said, “I’m just digesting it all, it was one thing you telling me what you are but a totally different thing seeing it for myself.”
     
    “We need to go back Lyanne as the wolf will return and she won’t be alone next time.”
     
    “She, it was a she?” somehow this information shocked Lyanne, she had automatically assumed the wolf had been a male.
     
    “Yes a she, a beta wolf like James and Daniel. I don’t know why she was out alone but like I say she won’t be next time so we must go,” Darian looked apprehensive as he peered into the dense forest.
     
    She let him help her now as they trudged through the deep snow, suddenly the beauty she’d seen in the wilderness had vanished and now all she observed was a
