I admit, I was enjoying myself. I knew that Amelia hadn’t realized my feelings for her, despite my many hints. To her I was just “one of the guys”, and I knew she felt safe around me. But I’m tired of hiding my true feelings from her.
I was pushing the boundaries, big time, but nothing that couldn’t be explained away as more or less innocent. What randy wolf could resist getting a taste of Amelia, if they had the chance?

“Well, it’s a bit easier for her only because we haven’t shifted, so I’m not completely werewolf yet. She’s mostly trying to focus on keeping down the pheromone level, and she can minimize most of the pain and hot flashes. I’m on my own to deal with mood swings and cr
