I think Mark also felt my anger cause he was super active than usual. We ran around for like what seemed like hours. Everywhere was already so dark when Mark felt like he had done enough. So we headed to the lake first to wash off the scent of blood from our snout and fur. Since Mark was hyperactive today, we caught quite a several games. As we headed to the lake which was gleaming from afar due to the moonlight, we noticed that we are not alone. There was a beautiful black wolf swimming happily in the river. I have never seen such a beautiful wolf before. At first, Mark ignored her since I was kind of worried that Bridget would have woken up and I was anxious to get back to her. So we just went into the lake and began to swim around to get rid of the blood. The other wolf also ignored us, minding her own business. I figured out the wolf is a ‘she’ because she had a smaller size than a male wolf. But then she piqued my interest when she started displaying her swimming skills. I stood in the water and watched her, amazed by the way she kept on displaying swimming tricks. One thing I know about Mark is that he loves challenges a lot. He felt like the wolf was challenging him so he also started to display the few swimming tricks he knows. Soon we were both competing with each other on who was the best swimmer. From there on, the

competition changed to something else. From competing to chasing each other in the lake. She began splashing water at my wolf and swam away as fast as she could. We immediately took off after her and made sure we got our revenge. By now, I was already clean but was just too immersed in the fun I was having. I can’t remember the last time I had so much fun. I am always either busy with the pack problems or travelling around and now that Bridget is also here, I get to act like both her mate and her nanny. That sounds funny but that is how it feels now. Like I’m a sort of nanny for her. Thinking of Bridget, I immediately remembered why I came to the lake in the first place so I began to swim out till I reached the shore. I could feel Mark’s reluctance to leave and I was surprised. We have only met this wolf today and he is already acting this way. I turned back to look at her. She was staring at me with those gorgeous blue eyes that looked so sad now. I waved at her and she reluctantly waved back. As we ran back to the house, I remembered that all this while we were playing, I didn’t even get her name. Silly me, we didn’t even shift back so I have absolutely no idea of how she looks like a human. Her thoughts escaped from my head when I saw Bridget standing outside at the doorstep of the house. She looked worried. Luckily, she was having a shawl around herself or I would have flown into a rage for sure. I can’t feel how cold it is because of my fur but I know it must be cold tonight so she would be exposed to the cold if she didn’t have the shawl around her.

Her eyes widened a little bit in fear as I approached her still in my wolf form. Well, I guess she will be a little bit terrified since this is the first time she is seeing me in my wolf form. I stopped a few steps away from her when I saw that she was still looking at me with scared eyes. But I think she finally realized that I wasn’t going to eat her or something cause she walked slowly towards me and finally reached where I was standing. She had to look up at me cause even in my wolf form, I am still towering over her. Jeez! That must be why she felt scared to approach me in the first place. I bent slowly and was soon sitting on the floor. Now she is taller than I am. She smiled and touched my fur gently. She gaped at me with amazement. I just sat there and watch her do her thing. I still feel upset at what she said earlier in her sleep but now that I think of it. I think I behaved stupidly earlier. First, if she had been sexually abused, her wolf would have told us that day. And if she was even sexually abused, I shouldn’t distance myself from her instead I should be closer to her. So when she reached out to pat my head, I raised my snout and she froze, turning rigid like she thought I was going to bite her but all I did was nuzzle at her hand. She sighed softly and even giggled when I suddenly grabbed her though I made sure I was gentle enough so my paws wouldn’t scratch her soft skin. I carried her in my arms and walked in. I don’t want to continue acting lovey-dovey on the doorstep. I will rather do it in the room. The entrance was big enough so I easily fit in.

I walked up to our room and slammed the door loudly behind us. She giggled again, looking at me mischievously. Well, blame Mark. He isn’t particularly gentle. I placed her gently on the bed and slept next to her. She snuggled closer rubbing against my warm fur. That was when I remembered my promise. The promise I made to her earlier. I wasn’t about to let the opportunity slip away. My eyes gleamed with pleasure and I felt Mark whine. He knows I am about to shift back but he wants to spend more time with our mate. I have to fulfil my promise but I can’t do that when I’m still him. Sorry buddy, you gotta go. I slowly shifted back. Bridget opened her eyes when she didn’t feel the warm fur anymore. . . . ………
