Excerpt from Home For The Howlidays:
“You might have had your Change first, David, but you still don’t get it, do you?” Cael shook his head at the picture David made shivering in the woods out by their hunting cabin. David had been trying to control his shift ever since the Curse of St. Natalis, the one that bound all Werewolves to Change only during the night of the full moon, had finally been broken.
Cael was a natural, able to control his shift as easily as he controlled his next breath. David, for some reason or other, was having a hell of a difficult time. His Wolf was anxious. Restless as of late. Despite being a doctor and newly appointed Emergency Department Chief at Macconwood Memorial Hospital, he still couldn’t seem to get his shit together. He’d almost Changed during an examination of a homeless man in his ER just a few nights before. That mistake earned him a strong reprimand from his Alpha. And that was one male you didn’t want to fuck with. Grrr. It was the reason he was buck ass naked in the woods, in the middle of the cold-as-fuck December they were having, with his recently mated little brother. Lucky bastard. David was happy for him, but that little green-eyed bitch of a monster loved to remind him that Cael had what David didn’t. A mate. Grrr. Again. Cael’s mate, a petite Werewolf named Rayne, was someone he knew well. A fellow a doctor, she worked with David at Macconwood Memorial and they’d known each other for years. As Chief of the Emergency Department, David was technically her boss, but the she-Wolf was one hell of a physician. She was even on call to their Alpha and his family. Rayne was a miracle, truly. She’d all but rescued Cael from total destruction the year before and David would be forever in her debt. He loved his brother. Even if the bastard was having a hell of a good laugh at him while his balls shriveled as he stood out in the fucking cold. Stupid Wolf. “Come on, David, focus!” Cael’s command annoyed David, but he closed his eyes and tried to get his Wolf to yield to his demands. “Now, David, Change!” David was happy for his brother and Rayne, but that didn’t help him solve his predicament. No matter how much Cael yelled, his Wolf refused to listen. The cold wind whipped by making his man parts want to crawl back inside of him, but he paid them no mind. He needed to get to know his now readily accessible Wolf better. He needed to soothe and control the beast inside of him. David’s job was high stress and occupied a shit ton of his time. As the Emergency Department Chief, the stinging antiseptic cleaner and the smells of medicine, blood, pain, and anger were his daily companions.
The fresh air of the forest felt good in his lungs. At first, he’d loved the fast-paced, action-packed routine of his job, but lately, well, he wanted more. He rarely left the hospital these days, but it couldn’t last. His Wolf was agitated, nearing the surface more and more. His near-miss the other day told him that in no uncertain terms he needed something in his life to temper the beast. Something more than his huge house on the beach or his fancy car. The Wolf chomped at the bit for release. There, in the protected woods of the Macconwood Pack, he could finally roam free.
Within seconds he felt the familiar hum of magic settle over him as his body transformed from that of a man to a large, muscular Wolf with light brown fur. His claws dug through the frozen ground effortlessly. He was fully Changed in under two minutes, something of a record for him and he reveled in that small triumph. If only the dull ache in the center of his chest would go away with all his other angst while he was in this skin. David swung his lupine head back and howled into the frigid night air. He took off on four paws, running off his loneliness under the cover of the moon while inside he ached for someone to run with. Not a Werewolf per say, but anyone to share his life with. A mate. Not just any mate. His one true mate. And more. He wanted a family. Love. Pups. A real home.
