The night had deepened.

Andi’s old Jeep creaked as it came to a stop near the edge of the woods. They were far from the school now, far from the crowd and far from the watchful eyes of her family. The only light came from the sliver of moon peeking through the drifting clouds. The air was thick with humidity and scent damp leaves, wildflowers, and something deeper, more feral.

Lyra’s skin felt hot to the touch. Her breathing was shallow. Something inside her pulsed, throbbed urging her forward, to claim, to devour.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWaJWGNPll
Andi leaned over, brushing a kiss against her neck. “God, you feel electric tonight.”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHMXchyhSP
She didn’t respond with words. She kissed him deep and desperate. Her hands clutched his shirt, pulling him close. His body was warm, willing, but even as their lips locked, something in her recoiled. His touch was eager… but thin. His scent sweet… but not satisfying. She wanted more. Needed more.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGh4U4Sy3f
She wanted strength. Depth. Dominance.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajD5lFAI8w
Andi wasn’t it.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAXcvuF7YD
Her eyes opened mid-kiss, glowing faintly golden.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdJtORmmH2
“Lyra…?”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmUipyWW1F
But she was already pulling away, her breath ragged. “I’m sorry.”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FBA75wedw
“What’s wrong?”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVfwnEZqNI
“I” She clutched her chest. Her pulse raced. Her skin itched. Her bones felt like they were bending beneath her. “I need to go.”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwo32gnBJF
She flung the door open and stumbled out into the woods.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlyWwuwyAa
“Lyra! Wait!”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozeW21FwDN
She ran.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kOAn1japI
Faster than she ever had. The wind sliced past her face, her feet barely touching the ground. Her nails were longer now. Her breathing shallow, but rhythmic. Her body was changing, not entirely into the beast her parents feared, but into something in between. A creature in heat. A female predator.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aYyHQ0alu
Her instincts dragged her toward the scent. It wasn’t Andi. It wasn’t random. It was something familiar, comforting... Jhon.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6psUSS1Ccl
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdibakQjFk
He lived a few blocks past the school, alone in the cottage his grandfather left him. Quiet, rugged, older by a few years. Jhon had always looked at Lyra like she was something untouchable but she had seen the way his gaze lingered. The pulse in his neck quicken. The hesitation in his voice.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqUNWjU3y6
He wanted her. Always had.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbQixuWmk1
And tonight... he would have her.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiKZTFFkm5
By the time she reached his door, her dress was half torn, her breathing harsh, hair damp with sweat and rain. She didn’t knock. She crashed through it, her eyes wild, her body trembling with lust and change.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOzyp2P4an
Jhon stepped into view, shirtless, holding a mug of tea eyes wide.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFwO8JQx1e
“Lyra?”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8V2WeuyW0
Her lips were on his before the question finished. Her kiss was hunger and fire. He didn’t pull away. He knew. He had always known something about her was different. And still, he welcomed it.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25ZoibckUC
She tore the mug from his hand, letting it crash to the floor, then shoved him backward until he hit the couch. She straddled him in one fluid motion, her thighs gripping his hips, her fingers in his hair.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtZnYlD1u5
“You’ve wanted me,” she growled against his throat. “I could smell it.”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThNuBVOEeh
Jhon swallowed, his voice low and hoarse. “I still do.”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESEbqmw11w
He didn’t ask what she was. He didn’t tremble. He touched her the way no boy ever had without fear. His hands explored her body with reverence and craving. When his fingers brushed her spine, she arched like a bow, moaning deep in her throat. Her nails dragged down his chest, leaving red trails.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvx1H21fLwW
Her fangs brushed his shoulder, but she didn’t bite not yet.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUAaFqLmXO
They shed clothes in between gasps and growls. Skin against skin. Every inch of her burned for him. His body was strong, but more than that he yielded, not out of fear, but out of desire.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0Q7a25sst
When he entered her, she cried out not in pain, but release. Her back arched, her body convulsed. It was as though the beast inside her paused, stunned by the perfect union of power and surrender.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KlCbIfZG4
Their rhythm was wild. Her hips moved with primal force, but every time she looked into his eyes, she saw not terror but awe. Admiration. Love.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AOoeKKonM
His fingers gripped her thighs, holding her as though anchoring her to the world. She howled once, loud enough to shake the windows. Her transformation surged to the edge of the surface her eyes gold, her teeth sharp but she held it back.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVfG4G5Wht
Because she didn’t want to scare him.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8q9qAmyDeA
But Jhon cupped her face, kissed her lips, then her forehead, and whispered, “You don’t have to hide.”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijlokGzXle
Her chest trembled.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKPhYDGffZ
“I know what you are,” he said. “And I’m not afraid.”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFVMMUDbPQ
She broke then not from lust, but from something deeper. She kissed him softer now. Her hands gentler. Their pace slowed, deeper, fuller no longer just wild, but intimate. Sacred.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVNTtIs3pH
They moved together like nature itself storm and earth, wind and flame.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvELcUEU6ru
When she finally came undone, she cried out his name like a sacred word. He followed soon after, his arms wrapped tight around her body.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAF8lbTjZMk
They collapsed against each other, sweat-drenched and gasping. Her heart pounded against his chest. The clouds outside parted, and the full moon bathed them in silver light through the broken door.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ahKXRE3gy
Her skin shimmered faintly.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTfGKy9tyj
He looked up at her, brushed a strand of damp hair from her cheek, and smiled. “You’re beautiful.”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeBFFvLsAa
“You’re crazy,” she whispered. “I’m a... monster.”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeYgRZZ5TV
“You’re mine,” he said, without hesitation. “If you’ll have me.”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5W2JJFzyB
Tears welled in her eyes not from weakness, but from belonging.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0plQPIYyWR
“I will,” she said softly. “But I’m not human. I’ll change. Every full moon, I’ll crave... blood. Hunger. Sex. Power.”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDf43pEtv3
“Then I’ll be there. Every time,” he said, pulling her close. “Let me be your anchor. Let me be your alpha.”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PwKqn7okk
And with those words, the beast inside Lyra purred.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fpY2jk4GV
For the first time in her life, she wasn’t at war with herself. She was whole.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXajo2XfJwO
And under the Blood Moon, she chose her mate not the one chosen for her, not one offered out of fear, but one who saw her... and stayed.
