It was all natural, but as Harlow looked to the other pack members stripping down in front of her, she felt so vulnerable. As a cool wind crept across the curves of her bare flesh, and she felt herself fully aroused by Atlas and Colt, she wanted to hide her intentions and mask her desires.
Slowly the interior of the barn fell to shadow and then gave way to moonlight. Harlow always closed her eyes for this part. Nothing about it hurt, but the appearance of the transformation was always unsettling.
Soon she was on all fours, alongside Atlas, Colt, and the other members of her pack.
Colt and Atlas were truly majestic creatures. Atlas was brown and black, a commanding presence as intimidating as she had ever known him, with eyes that conveyed knowledge beyond human understanding. With fur so dark, he could blend into the night, becoming truly one with it and catching foe and prey alike by surprise.
Colt, by contrast, resonated with the pale blue light of the moon. His beige fur reflected the light from the orb above, his eyes gray with waves of blue. This form communicated patience and peace to Harlow. Seeing the two of them together, Harlow understood that they truly were night and day.
Atlas drew his front paw backward and leapt forward into the night followed by Colt and the rest of the pack. As she charged forward, body transformed, Harlow realized that the fears that had plagued her had simply left themselves behind.
As layers of trees and rows of fences disappeared into her peripheral vision, her body becoming one with the rushing wind that trailed behind her, Harlow wondered how she could have ever given this up. To roam freely, devoid of the burdens that plagued her human form, was not a curse to shed.
It was a gift eclipsing mortal understanding. For that night, Harlow’s mind was unclouded, freed to wander across fields and through forests. Maybe she’d feel differently when she returned to the pile of clothes in the barn and the burden of her human form, but she wished every moment could be this exhilarating.
Chapter 20
Colt
Colt held back, just slightly, partly due to the fact he was completely in awe of Harlow in wolf form, her russet red coat glistening under the moonlight, and partly out of protective instinct. Atlas ran up front, his alpha always leading the way.
It must’ve been one of his most memorable full moon runs, and he wasn’t sure why, other than it included Harlow, of course. Maybe the bond between the three of them was playing a role in this. Either way, Colt had never felt more alive, more connected to his animal and to the forest around him, the earth underneath.
He watched as Harlow took off, and he knew she was feeling this too as he followed, his paws pounding the forest floor, his eyes trained on nothing but the way ahead that now included her. Her strength was impressive tonight, the speed at which she traveled surprising him as she fought to chase down Atlas.
Up ahead he heard voices a few moments later, recognizing the deep baritone of Atlas, now that they’d stopped and shifted back into human form. They’d been running for a while and must’ve stopped for a rest. As he approached, he smelled the shift in the air. Something was happening, and his chest thudded in response.
The rest of the pack continued the run, but Atlas had stopped in the clearing Colt knew so well, his huge body now dirty and moist with sweat. A few feet away stood a naked Harlow, her chest rising and falling as she looked deeply into his eyes. Colt shifted, taking his place opposite them—the triangle now complete.
“Glad you could join us,” Atlas quipped, his eyebrow raised as he looked down upon Colt’s arousal.
“Happy to.” Colt grinned, finding it strange being in this position, his best friend, standing erect in front of him while the woman they both desired looked on. There was no point in trying to hide anything, not with a wolf, though he’d never been quite so upfront with Atlas.
“You’re quiet, little wolf,” Atlas said, stepping toward her. Colt could sense her apprehension as well as her arousal—so many things running through them all on this full moon eve. The air within the small clearing was charged.
There was no stepping away from this now, and he knew she didn’t want to. This was just new to all of them and something they’d have to work out. Colt trusted that they’d find a way and knew deep down, she did too.
“It’s been an intense night,” she said, her voice almost dream-like.
“Who said the night’s over?” replied Atlas. He stopped, looked at her, and smiled. “Seems like it’s only just begun.”
Colt swallowed hard as Atlas now turned his attention to him, eyes locking on firmly. A few seconds passed, a moment that almost felt like a lifetime. Atlas gave a small nod, and Colt knew what this meant.
He stepped slowly over to Harlow, her naked form so enticing. She looked over her shoulder at him, her mouth falling open as he stood behind her, pressing himself close. Harlow gasped as his hardness hit her buttocks, and he let out a small moan as their naked skin touched.
Harlow tilted her head to the side, allowing him access to her neck, where he placed his lips, inhaling her as he kissed and licked across her shoulder. “At last,” he whispered.
Slowly, gently, he ran his hands down her arms, savoring the feel of her skin. When he got to her hands, she took them in hers, holding on tightly and showing him how much she wanted to be close to him. Then she reached up, clasping his neck. “Colt,” she whispered, her breathing becoming shallow.
He cupped her breasts, teasing her nipples through his fingers and then running one hand down her toned stomach. “Harlow.”
“Tastes good, doesn’t she?” Atlas murmured. But his tone wasn’t meant in any way other than to affirm how delicious this woman tasted. The woman they now shared. Atlas had done as he’d said—claimed her first—and Colt could see he was allowing him a chance to experience Harlow now in the same way he had.
In that moment he had a newfound respect for his friend and alpha. They were a different kind of team now. One that looked out for each other, sought to ensure the happiness of each member. Most of all, he and Atlas were there for her, and right now, that meant her pleasure.
“The best,” Colt replied. “Harlow, you’re amazing.” She pressed into him, his cock hot and ready for her, but he couldn’t do anything without Atlas saying so.
“Lie down, little wolf,” Atlas said.
