“Let him cool off. He is going through a lot right now and needs some time to process what has happened.” Anthony stopped and hugged her. He kissed her cheek.
“I am just afraid of what he would do to Johnny. I mean I know he deserves it but it looked like Declan wanted to kill him.” Jacinta was disturbed by what he had just said. “I have never seen him look so angry before.” They looked at each other and both of them were afraid of what he would possibly do. They left the room only to find him, sitting down on the couch with his head in his hands. He was still angry. “Isabella means everything to me. I should have never left her side. I should have been there with her. If I did that, she would still be here.” Anthony walked up to him and put his hand on his shoulder.
“You did the best that you could mate. We all should have known better than to trust Johnny. He only looks out for himself and no one else. We should have known that it was a trap.” Anthony was disappointed with himself. All Johnny seemed to do was to create trouble where ever he went. Jacinta came up behind Anthony and held his arm.
“I don’t know what happened but Johnny was never like this. I grew up with him and he was always nice and polite. He was always kind and considerate. It almost seems like he is a completely different person.” She sighed and looked at her hands. She hated seeing Declan like that. If she was to lose Anthony, she didn’t know what she would do. She hated to even have to think about it. But now Declan was experiencing it. Anthony told her that he felt the same way telepathically. She knew that Isabella was in the forest. She felt it. She had the moon-stone in her pocket and it was directing her to the forest. She knew it had to be true. The stone always revealed the truth. She wished that she had used it before to determine Johnny’s true intentions but normally she wouldn’t have to use it. It would just tell her without her even using it. She wondered if Johnny was using anything that would prevent him from being detected by the stones. She hoped that Isabella was ok. She could sense that she was alive but was under significant pressure. She wished it could clearly locate her but the stone was quite limited. Only someone like Isabella could unlock the true potential of the stones. She knew that things would work themselves out but hoped that no one would be killed in the process. Her parents came into the living room. They were concerned.
“We need to form a search team and find her. Now that her powers have been strengthened, she can be used as a weapon in the wrong hands. We need to make sure that she is safe and that Johnny does not harm her or use her powers for evil,” said her mother. Her father wrapped her arm around her mother. He looked at Declan and said, “We will get her back. We won’t stop until we do.”
Declan wanted blood. He wanted revenge. He was still angry but he couldn’t let Johnny have the upper hand. No, not again. He needed to be calm. He needed to create a plan. He needed a clever way to make Johnny pay for what he did. He began to pace the room once again. He then sat down and ran his fingers through his hair. He needed to get her back. Everyone looked at him waiting for him to calm down. They understood his frustrations but were waiting on him to help them devise a plan. He was trying to think logically but this was the love of his life and he felt lost without her. No, he had to do this. He had to do this for himself and for her.
“Ok, we attack at nightfall. We want to take him by surprise. We will split into teams: one team will focus all of their efforts on finding Isabella and another team would provide security should we experience any unpleasant encounters.”
Anthony nodded his head, “Sounds good.”
Jacinta’s parents agreed. “Sounds like a plan. We can meet up here and then finalize the plan and head into the forest.” They all agreed to the plan. Jacinta and Anthony then left the house. They then headed to Anthony’s house and while they were in his bedroom, they looked at each other and began communicating in their heads.
“Hey, can we use actual words because sometimes it’s very creepy,” said Anthony.
Jacinta laughed, “OK, I agree with you.”
“I know normally it is the female who takes control of this whole marriage situation, but I am really eager for you to come and live with me.” He walked up to her and kissed her. She smiled.
“Hey! Don’t think that I haven’t thought about it. It’s one of the few things that stays on my mind. But given everything that’s happened, I don’t think that should be the main priority. I think we need to find Isabella and make Johnny atone for his sins.”
Anthony looked at her and smiled, “I couldn’t agree more.” He then cuddled with Jacinta on the bed and kissed her. She kissed him back. He then gently removed her clothes. She removed his. By now, this was so comfortable to them. It was second nature for them to make love. He gently kissed the rest of her body, treating her like a delicate and fragile object. He made his way from her lips, to her neck, to her chest and then to her stomach. She moaned anticipating the warmth produced by the contact of each and every kiss. He wanted to show this tenderness, which he did with every kiss and caress. She felt cared for. Despite growing accustomed to each other’s sexual appetites and desires, this was a bit different. Something had changed.
“Baby?” Anthony asked looking directly at Jacinta, “I need you to know that I will always love you no matter what and that I will always fight for you and protect you.”
“Awww, I know that already Anthony,” she smiled at him. As much as she knew, it was always nice to be reminded. He kissed her.
“I need you to know that if anyone ever tried to take you away from me, I would kill them with my bare hands. I would make them pay. I don’t plan on leaving you anytime soon and I don’t plan on losing you either.”
Jacinta knew why he was saying what he did. She stared at him. She was slightly surprised by his following statements but felt cherished. She leaned in and stroked his face. He then took her hand and kissed it. He then worked his way up to her shoulders. She shivered. She then fixed her gaze on him. He held her face and kissed her softly and sweetly. She deserves everything that I am about to give to her, he thought to himself. He wrapped his arms around her and held her.
“I love you so much Jacinta.” He kissed her lips once more.
“I love you too Anthony,” he slowly entered her and their bodies became one. He continued to stroke her slowly and gently letting her feel that strength; that spiritual connection between them. She looked amazing even with her face taunt with pleasure. He was enjoying himself too but had to make sure that she too was pleased by this passionate lovemaking.
“Does that feel good, baby?” he asked in mid-stroke.
“Oh, yes, baby.” She moaned as her eyes rolled back into her head.
He wanted to speed up but saw that she was enjoying herself at this tempo. He would ease her into the quick and rapid pace that he preferred. He only kept thinking of her and her wants and needs. He always wanted her to feel special and loved.
“I already do Anthony,” she said out loud. Sometimes he wished that they weren’t that mentally connected but then he wouldn’t have been able to figure out the things that create pleasure and excitement. He smiled and decided that it was time. He lifted her legs on his shoulders and intensified the strokes. Her body moved with the force. He smiled to himself as it seemed that he had figured out her favorite position. The moans and the cries made by Jacinta just made him go faster and faster. He could hear the bed creaking as if it was pleading with them to take their time. He felt her release. She smiled. They both knew that it was far from over. He lifted her legs off of his shoulders and turned her around. He arched her back and slapped her bottom.
“I can never get tired of this,” he said as he held and pinched each check.
Jacinta smiled for she too knew what was next. Anthony quickly decided to change his mind and his mouth made contact with her.
“I didn’t see that coming.” She then moaned as he slowly enjoyed her.
He then slapped her, “I know. That was the whole point.” He continued to devour her c
onsuming each release and watching it trickle down. He knew she was ready but he wanted her to want it badly. He needed her to need it badly. He then used a finger and teased her. He felt it. He felt her desperation rise. He smiled to himself knowing that soon they would both get what they want. Nibbling and licking of her flesh was driving Jacinta insane. She wanted him now! He smiled and laughed to himself.
“Soon, baby. I just want you to feel everything first.” He continued. She then released into his mouth. He licked his lips and used a finger as well. She protested. He slapped her bottom.
“I think the lady doth protest too much.” He then re-inserted his finger ignoring her cries and moans. She said she was ready but how ready was she? This time, he was going to satisfy her. When she had released once more, he then entered her. She let out a scream so loud, so nerve-racking that Anthony had to beg her to be quiet. He put his hand over her mouth and she bit it. Anthony gasped a little but a part of him liked it.
“So you like to bite? SO you want to play rough?” he said as he slammed his way into her. She let out a huge moan and begged for more.
“Hmm,” he said, “Do you like that? Do you?” he said as he continued to stroke her. He then grabbed her hair and pulled, wrapping it around his fist. He then went harder. Jacinta was losing herself and her thoughts in this moment. She was more than satisfied. It had never been so intense between them. It had always been amazing but she had never felt this good. He held onto her waist and let one of his hands play with her. She yelped letting go of all resistance and letting herself experience this intensity and extreme bliss. She held onto him.
“Oh! Baby! You are choking me! You are so tight!” he moved as though he wanted to break free from her grasp but he didn’t. He wanted to go even further within and she felt this and moaned even louder. He went as far as he could go and he just increased each thrust. She could not feel her legs. He was relentless. He felt like he was not only touching her body but her soul. He felt her warmth. He felt her body rise and fall as he kept crashing into her. He released her hair and wrapped both hands around her and went even further.
“Baby! Ah!” He realized that he was entering her cervix and had to stop. He eased the pace and she once again began to enjoy herself. He kept going and going. She understood why it was so different this time around. He was making love to her like it was the last time.
“Baby?” She asked as he stopped in mid-stroke, “I am not going anywhere either. I love you too.” He then reduced his pace and removed himself from her. He then sat up on the bed and she sat on his member. He cuddled her for a moment and then he entered her. He was so glad that she was facing him. He could see the joy that she was experiencing. Maybe he shouldn't love her like it was the last time but instead enjoy every moment that they had. His train of thought was broken by the moans that he was hearing. He saw her bounce up and down and enjoyed watching her bosoms giving way to the sensual motion. He had been resisting the urge to come for some time now and felt like he was about to explode. She had released herself several times already and clearly she was not stopping anytime soon. He knew all of her weaknesses and was using all of them against her. He smiled at her and kept at it until he finally released. Panting and sweating, he smiled at her. She smiled back at him. She too was panting and sweating.
“Wow, that was amazing!” she exclaimed.
He smirked at her, “So what about the other times?”
She scoffed, “You know what I mean.” He was still waiting on her to explain.
“Normally it is pretty good but there was something different about this time. It was just so much more intense. It was just more…”
“Impactful,” he said finishing her sentences.
“Yes, impactful.” She said. She smiled. They had been finishing each other’s sentences and sometimes it would annoy her but this time, she was relieved by it. She checked the time and was pleased. They had a few more hours to themselves before they headed back to her parent’s house.
“So, we have a few more hours to ourselves…” she smiled at him. Yes they were thinking the same thing once again.
“I am hungry!” they said simultaneously. They laughed at each other and finally got out of bed. They headed for the kitchen and Anthony began preparing food for the both of them. Jacinta grew impatient and hungry by the minute and decided to help him prepare the meal. They both had that glow and the room was filled with laughter. They seemed to understand each other so much that they didn’t even get into each other’s way. Not only were their bodies in synch in the bedroom but even outside they seemed to have their own unique rhythm for doing things together. Their diets however, differed. She preferred to eat like a regular human and he needed something to truly quench his thirsts.
They were currently preparing a meal for her first because her nourishments required a bit more care and attention. She began to cut up the onions and bell peppers for the omelet while he began to crack the eggs. He may not be able to eat the food but he was still an excellent chef and she was reminded of this with every bite. Not only did he seem to put in love while they were making love but he seemed to put a lot of care and attention into every meal. She was fortunate to have found someone who can cook because she was a horrible cook and the only thing she seemed competent in making by herself was toast. It was a good thing Anthony did not need to eat food.
Anthony was about to flip the omelet when he heard something strange. He froze for a minute and then regained his senses.
Jacinta was concerned. “Baby, what’s wrong?” she asked him.
“Something seems wrong.” He finished placing the omelet on a plate and began washing the dishes in an eerie silence and shock.
The silence was beginning to aggravate her. She was getting scared.
“What’s going on, Anthony?”
She quickly ate the omelet and Anthony had some blood stored in the fridge. They eat and then immediately headed to her house. Anthony was still silent. Jacinta could not even hear his thoughts. He then broke his silence, “I think I have located Isabella.”

They finally arrived at her house. Anthony knew exactly where in the forest she was. He told her parents immediately. Declan jumped at the news and already headed out the door.
“Declan, wait! You can’t just spring out of here without a plan.” Anthony’s words caused Declan to turn on his heels and to listen with great intent. “You need to listen to the plan or instead of Isabella returning, you can go and get yourself killed. We need more people to rescue her because the stakes are a lot higher now mate.”
“He’s right, Declan,” Jacinta’s father overhead the conversation and entered the room, “we have an idea as to what we are up against but we won’t know the full extent until we get here. A part of the plan requires quick thinking and agility. It means being ten steps ahead of the opponent at all times and anticipating every possible course of action. It would, therefore be best if we remain cool and calm and in control of the situation.”
His words made sense to Declan. He knew that what he said was true. Still, he needed to find her and to bring her home. The thought of not having her was driving him insane. He needed her and was scared that he currently could not protect her. He tried to calm himself down and began to listen to the plan.
“Alright, I have decided that it’s best that we don’t split up. There is strength in numbers and we will need our strength if we should encounter them in the forest.”
Declan was enraged, “What?” He walked up to Jacinta’s father and picked him up. Her father’s feet were dangling on the floor. “You almost made it sound like she is one of them.” Everyone looked at him. They were surprised by what he was currently doing. Jacinta stepped forward and tried to calm him down.
“Declan, please put him back on the floor. He is only trying to help.” Declan’s fangs were out. He could not stand the thought of anyone disrespecting Isabella. Jacinta’s fath
er was terrified of him. His face was masked with his fear. His pulse quickened and his blood was swiftly rushing through his veins. Declan could smell this fear and he wanted to drink it all in. He was close to biting him. He was this close to ending him.
“Declan, stop! We need to find Isabella but we have to do this together!” shouted Anthony. Declan looked at her father for another minute then retracted his fangs and put him down. Her father gasped for air. His heart was still racing. Declan came to senses and slowly walked away from the situation. He calmly waited to hear the rest of the plans.
“So we are still attacking at night but we need to stick together and we need to remain calm and vigilant. Only then can we bring Isabella home.” They then ended the meeting and prepared themselves to go out into the forest.
It was a full moon and Jacinta and her parents began to change. Hands and feet were replaced with paws and they were now four-legged creatures. Fur covered their faces and they felt that connection with the moon. They all howled at the moon simultaneously and then met up with Declan and Anthony. Jacinta rubbed up against Anthony and panted. Anthony began to pet her and he smiled. They then entered the forest and began their search for Isabella. Jacinta and her family began sniffing around, following Anthony’s trail. He drew closer and closer to where he heard the sound. Anthony could feel Declan’s energy and he knew that he was very eager to find Isabella. He could also sense that he was still angry but managed to contain his anger as he knew that the emotion would do more harm instead of help. He kept his ears sharp and tuned into the frequency of her voice.
“I think we are getting closer,” said Anthony. He too was tuned into the frequency of her voice. He could hear her getting louder and louder. He then heard the scream. Declan rushed towards the sound of the scream. He madly dashed, enraged and compelled by the need to protect her. He then approached the sound and saw to his utter dismay that no one was there. He was confused. He looked around him and was shocked. He then heard a snap and was hoisted into the air. He tried to use his fangs to get out but found that his efforts were in vain. He kept trying but only managed to tire himself out. When the rest of the group caught up with him, they were greatly displeased. They looked up and saw him in a net hanging from the tree. Anthony changed into a bat and tried to free him but was repelled by the net.
