As they left the safety of the condo, Ashley began to question her sanity.
“It’ll be fine,” she mumbled to herself as she and Ruby walked toward the forest’s entrance. Ashley shone the flashlight at Ruby’s collar and unclasped her lead, “Stay close girl.”
Ruby seemed to comprehend as she stuck to Ashley’s leg.
The forest took on a whole new appearance and feel at night. There were animal sounds that Ashley had never heard before, and an eerie atmosphere fell over the place.
With just the small flashlight to light their way the pair walked on toward Mason’s house with Ashley hoping this was a good thing to do, hopefully he’d be pleased to see her.
Ruby started whimpering at Ashley’s side, she shone the flashlight in front of them, and there staring at her were the most menacing pair of amber-colored eyes she’d ever seen. The eyes were accompanied by a low guttural growling noise. Ruby stepped back behind Ashley.
“Shit, for fuck’s sake,” Ashley shouted, and then remembered the first rule of a wild animal encounter was to keep reasonably calm. She knew staring at a wolf would provoke it and running would encourage it to give chase, but simply swearing at it wouldn’t make it go away!
“Don’t run, don’t run,” she whispered to herself and Ruby, who was still cowering behind her. Ashley knew the chances were high that this lone wolf probably wasn’t alone, she’d never seen wolves before but then she didn’t make a habit of visiting the forest after dark.
She decided to back away slowly, keeping the wolf in sight; Ruby worked out what she was doing and also started to walk backwards. The wolf began to snarl at Ashley, it lowered its body so it was almost crawling along the ground and the tail was held in a stiff horizontal position. This was a wolf about to attack.
Ashley was at a complete loss, there was nothing she could do, her and Ruby were at the wolf’s mercy. She heard a sound that made her blood run cold, a soulful howl. So there was more than one, were they telling each other one had found supper.
She kept reversing until she felt herself hit a tree. Ashley was trapped, Ruby was now beside the tree. The wolf was creeping forward at an alarming rate, while the one in the distance howled. The wolf leapt in the air with amazing agility and grace, Ashley screamed and shut her eyes. She heard a loud yelp pierce the night air and cried out, “Ruby!” Ashley opened her eyes to see Ruby still beside the tree, so why did she yelp?
Ashley looked from Ruby toward the wolf, now there wasn’t just the one anymore. Now there were two with one pinning the first wolf down. The wolf on top had one front paw on the other wolf’s chest and was baring its teeth. It had saliva dripping from its sharp teeth and obviously meant to either warn the other wolf off or harm it. Ashley knew this was the opportune moment to make a break for it but she couldn’t she was frozen to the spot, transfixed on the wolves. In a flurry of fur, snarling and yelping the wolves fought with the first wolf running away literally with its tail between its legs.
So the dominant wolf, the one that had saved Ashley and Ruby, was probably the alpha male wolf. Ashley’s knowledge of the dynamics of a wolf pack was limited; she did know there was generally an alpha pair followed by beta wolves and then an omega wolf.
The wolf she presumed as the alpha shook itself off. It had a beautiful gray coat with dense soft fur; it turned and looked at Ashley its eyes were a striking ice blue. She’d seen that color before, Mason; of course, his eyes were the same shade. She noticed it was hurt, the right flank area was bleeding slightly and the wolf was favoring its left side to balance on.
Ashley felt bad for the wolf. It had helped her and ended up injured. It took one last glance at her and Ruby and vanished into the cover of the trees. She wished she could have helped it.
Ashley was shaken, she comforted Ruby and then the pair quickly continued toward Mason’s house. As she approached the house, she could see there were lights on.
“Shit, what if he’s got company, what if it’s fucking Jessica?” she muttered to Ruby as they made their way to the front door. Before she’d even knocked, the door flew open and Mason pulled her inside.
“Are you okay? Ruby are you alright?” he asked holding Ashley close, while he looked down at Ruby.
“How did you know we were coming? More importantly you know don’t you? You know what happened to us on the way here,” she asked pulling out of his embrace.
He winced as she let him go, holding his right side, “The wolf was hurt on its right flank and it had ice blue eyes like yours,” Ashley whispered to herself as she stepped back from Mason.
“Miss Ashley there’s no need to fear me, I’ll never harm you. I didn’t wish to show myself to you in the way that I did. I had no choice, you’d have been killed if I hadn’t,” he said.
“I don’t understand, what are you telling me Mason? The wolf that saved us, that’s you.”
Mason knelt down on the floor to pet Ruby and spoke quietly looking up at Ashley with his eyes filled with tears, “I will do anything for you Miss Ashley and I never meant for you to be hurt. I’m a shape shifter, a wolf, the alpha wolf.” He continued, “The forest is my home and my pack’s home. The wolf that attacked you was Jessica.”
“Jeez what the fuck, this just gets better and better. Now Jessica is literally a bitch a she-wolf. So that’s why she wants you so badly.”
“Yes, she wishes to be my alpha female. She thinks her rightful place is by my side as my mate. I don’t want that Ashley. She means nothing to me, she came after you because she can sense my feelings for you,” the tears in his eyes threatened to fall and she felt pity for him.
“Surely you can’t be with me though, I mean you’ve got to be with a wolf is that right?”
Mason stood up and walked slowly toward Ashley. He was only wearing board shorts and a t-shirt and she could see his powerful legs and muscular arms.
“I can be with anyone I choose to be with,” he whispered in her ear as he leant toward her. Ashley didn’t know what to think, he turned her on so much, but he was a wolf. You don’t find out every day that your new love interest is a fucking wolf. She couldn’t help herself though as she put her arms around his neck.
“So you choose me to be what exactly? Girlfriend, mate, she-wolf,” she said between shallow breaths for air.
“You’re a human, a woman and a beautiful one at that. You’ll never be a she-wolf but you can be my mate if you’ll still have me Miss Ashley,” he said quietly looking at her with his ice blue eyes.
Ashley answered him with a kiss. A long, intense kiss filled with lust. Their tongues sliding seductively into each other’s mouths. She craved him and started to pull at his t-shirt. Mason raised his arms, wincing slightly at his wound. Ashley lowered her head and kissed his side, he was cut and bruised and he flinched at the gentle touch of her lips on his bare skin.
She traced her kisses from his side around to his muscular chest teasing his nipples with her tongue, he gasped as she kissed his taut abdomen. Ashley stood up and Mason slid a hand inside her shirt and inside her bra, she moaned loudly as his fingers found her erect nipple. It tingled beneath his light touch.
Ashley unbuttoned the rest of her shirt and shook it off Mason reached behind her and unclasped her bra gasping as her curvy breasts were exposed. He bent his head down and took one of her aroused nipples in his mouth, flicking it with his tongue and sucking it with his moist mouth. Ashley felt her silk panties growing damp she was so horny for him right now.
He stood upright and walked her backwards until she was against the closed front door; they hadn’t even left the hallway of his house. He started to undo her jeans, she helped him by pulling them over her beautifully shaped hips, she kicked them off along with her shoes and stood in front of him with just her panties on.
She could see his growing arousal through the thin material of his shorts. She reached down and slid a hand down inside his shorts and heard him groan softly as she found his huge hard cock, Ashley grasped his throbbing shaf
t in her hand and slowly moved her hand up and down. She kissed him hard on the mouth her tongue thrusting into his mouth, hungry to taste him.
Mason’s hand found her pussy through her silk panties and rubbed gently feeling her wetness, Ashley moaned, her breathing fast and shallow now. He held her panties to one side and softly caressed her clit Ashley held on to him telling him to go faster and harder. He stopped to remove her soaking wet panties and dropping to his knees as he did so.
The next thing Ashley felt was his tongue teasing her sensitive and throbbing clit, she gasped as he plunged his moist tongue into her dripping wet pussy. Ashley grabbed his head pulling him into her forcing his tongue to go deeper into her, as he went deeper and faster she began to grind her swollen clit against his face. She looked down and watched his head between her smooth creamy white thighs as the passion took over and she flooded his mouth with her sweet juices.
He stood up and kissed her on her soft luscious lips, she could taste herself on him and now all she wanted was him inside her. As though he read her mind, he pulled his shorts and boxers off. Ashley felt the tip of his throbbing cock resting against her wet pussy lips; he lifted her up so she was wrapped around him with her legs spread wide apart. She giggled and then groaned loudly as his hard cock entered her pussy.
She clung on to him as he thrusted his huge rock hard throbbing shaft into her, Mason plunged his cock in deeper until Ashley could feel all of him inside her. His swollen balls slapped against her with every hard thrust.
Her breasts were bouncing against his naked chest as he held on to her curvy ass gripping it tightly, he pumped her harder and faster. Ashley felt the change deep inside him as he came and she felt his warm cum flowing inside her pussy, as she collapsed against him.
Ashley and Ruby stayed the night with Mason and it was the best sleep she’d ever had, curled up in his strong arms. He made her feel safe and she knew that he’d protect her with his life if he had to.
As he said goodbye to her outside her condo the next morning, Ashley felt that her life would never return to the way it was before knowing Mason, and for that, she was eternally grateful.
