cold and threatening landscape. They made their way back to the cabin to find James, Daniel and Lisa waiting outside.
“Hey, we were worried about you, we heard a howl, did you guys hear it?” said Lisa.
“You could say that,” mumbled Lyanne as she made her way to the cabin’s door with the help of Darian’s strong grip.
“Are you hurt Lyanne?” asked James as he watched Darian helping her.
“She’s fine, I had to shift because we didn’t just hear the howl we met the owner of said howl,” said Darian as he and Lyanne made their way into the safety of the cabin where they were greeted by the chirping chipmunk.
“Hey little guy,” said Lyanne as the chipmunk scampered away.
“It doesn’t like us,” Daniel said as he entered the cabin with the other two following closely behind him.
“Probably as it might end up as our dinner,” Lisa said laughing.
“You keep away from him, just keep the fuck away from him,” shouted Lyanne as she went after the chipmunk.
“Really Lisa, in bad taste or what,” said James as he followed Lyanne. Lisa just shrugged her shoulders and went off to find Darian who’d gone into the kitchen.
Lyanne had gone into the bedroom and shut the door as the chipmunk was with her, “Lyanne can I come in?” James asked through the shut door.
“If you’re not going to eat my little friend then yes,” Lyanne replied. James was smiling when he entered the room. “No I won’t harm him and Lisa’s a bitch for what she said Lyanne.”
“The day has been stressful James, seeing Darian shift was a shock,” Lyanne said as she looked at him.
James walked toward the bed and sat beside Lyanne, “Yes I can only imagine. We’ve all got used to it and have grown with it but for you it must have been terrifying. Did Darian fight this other wolf?”
“No, it backed down and ran away he said it was a female,” said Lyanne.
James pondered over Lyanne’s words for a moment and then said, “She must have been a beta wolf then like myself and Daniel, an omega wouldn’t have confronted an alpha and another alpha wolf wouldn’t have backed down as easily.”
“God, this is all so weird to me James. Listening to you all speak about wolves and then realizing that you’re all actually wolves,” Lyanne said as she looked into James’ piercing blue eyes.
He leant toward her and before she realized what he was doing he kissed her tenderly on the lips, his mouth felt soft and his lips lingered on hers. She kissed him back with the same feathery lightness.
As he pulled away from Lyanne his eyes filled with guilt, “God, Lyanne I’m so sorry, I shouldn’t have done that.”
“I kissed you back James,” she said touching his arm as she spoke.
“You’re so beautiful, Darian’s a lucky guy,” he whispered as he stood up and left the room.
Lyanne was unsure of what had happened, James had kissed her but instead of pulling away and feeling repelled she’d enjoyed it, and even felt herself being turned on by it. She couldn’t believe the way she’d acted toward James, she loved Darian and until a little while ago had been a virgin.
There was a knock on the door, Lyanne hoped it was James returning for more, and was a little disappointed when Darian’s voice said, “Lyanne, can I come in?”
“Of course,” she said.
Darian entered the room and walked toward the bed taking a seat where James had just been sitting.
“I saw James leaving the room, are you okay?” Darian said searching Lyanne’s eyes for an answer.
Lyanne didn’t want to lie to him but she knew the truth would tear him up; she had to think quickly he was waiting for an answer and the longer he waited the guiltier she appeared. She had no choice she had to up and tell him the truth she couldn’t lie to those beautiful hazel eyes.
“I’m fine Darian, but I’ve got to tell you something, and
