Golden threads of morning light began to gently disembogue into the empyrean blue skies. And for a brief moment, the eloquent rays of the sun-kissed the etiolated beams of the moon, as they desperately reached out across the heavens to one another like two forlorn celestial lovers. Then the weeping moon fell with the dying darkness, forever separated from her true love's caress.

The wavering canopy of summertime trees above my head was lightly peppered with the first gentle kisses of autumn color. It was always strange to me, how the autumn seduced the summer. Enticing her with his golden charms and crimson passions. Then, once their love reached its blazing crescendo, he would drag her down into the cold and bitter season of death. 

And just as the autumn greeted the summer, this crazed naked wolfman was greeting me. 

He looked downright feral. A strange mixture between a love-sick puppy and a hungry beast. His muscles were taught, and he was lowly growling through his ebullient grin like a maniac, contrasting the peaceful cadence of birds chirping merrily in the background. Unfortunately for me, this wasn't some sort of deranged case of zoanthropy. This guy was a true-blue, bonified werewolf. And there was no doubt in my mind that this freak of nature was about to attack, and I was his prey.

I internally freaked the fuck out not knowing what to do, and frantically shifted my eyes all around for anything that might actually help me escape this anomalous situation. I saw nothing but useless forestland. Then my gaze landed on a random stick, so I swiftly snatched it up.

"Fetch!" I yelled while throwing the stick off into the woods, doubting that it would work...

It worked! He growled and bit the air after it, while excitedly turning away from me to chase it. I shot off running in the other direction like greased lightning. Years of leaves blanketing the forest floor rustled beneath my feet, while little twigs snapped all around my body, as I fucking bulldozed my way through the forest in a state of pure blind panic.

Fuck, what do I do!? What do I do!? 

Lickety-split, I wove my way through the maze of thick trunks, leaping over mossy stones and logs, ducking beneath slender branches and mighty boughs. My lungs felt like they were about to literally leap out of my chest and hitchhike off to Timbuktu, making my lack of physical fitness incredibly apparent.

I had no idea if I was running in the right direction or not, but I knew that I had to get away from that fucking bloodthirsty werewolf man! And fast! My heart rate was turned up to maximum overdrive, as I heard a second set of footsteps swiftly closing the distance behind me. 

With a loud bestial snarl, the wolfman fucking pounced towards me, and his large muscular arms swiftly lassoed their way around my waist. I screamed as he ripped me from my hasty escape, pulling me against his chest while he leapt upwards and turned us around midair so that I was on top of him. 

Holy fucking motherfucker! 

He took the force of the impact while we landed on the forest floor with a thud. The leaves rustled beneath us, as he swiftly rolled us over, pinning me underneath his huge masculine frame. It all happened so fast that I could barely even register it. 

"For you, dragostea mea." His heavily accented voice rumbled, while he placed the stick in my limp hand with a smiling expression of both excitement and endearment. 

I stared up at him, completely out of breath and full of fear. Then to my complete shock, he swiftly crashed his lips to mine with a fierce impassioned kiss. My eyes widened in terror and I tried to scream, but his mouth muffled my voice. His large hand grasped at the back of my head, entangling his clawed fingers within my dark chocolaty locks, while his forceful and dominating tongue feverishly invaded my mouth. I attempted to squirm away while frantically flailing my limbs, but his crushing weight kept me trapped beneath him.

He tilted my head back to deepen the kiss, with his massive cock firmly pressing up against my sopping wet panties and throbbing clit. My pussy was clenching uncontrollably, desperate to feel him inside of me, while my nipples beaded out painfully for his touch. But despite that, I was petrified. So I started frantically smacking him with the stick. 

To my dismay, a lustful growl rumbled out of him as if he were enjoying it. His feverish wet kisses began to trail down my throat, then he began grazing his fangs over the crook of my neck. He simultaneously grabbed my right breast, giving it a good rough squeeze, eliciting a little frightened yelp from me and a deep snarl from him.

"No, stop! Please stop!" I was finally able to breathlessly cry out. Tears began unwittingly flowing down the side of my face from fear of this beast forcing himself on me. 

He immediately stopped and gazed down at me with a look of confusion... Genuine confusion. "Stop?" He asked with worried furrowed brows. 

"Please stop." I softly repeated while placing my trembling hands on his shoulders to push him away. 

Despite my weak effort to shove him off, he swooped his head back down and nuzzled into the crook of my neck. "But my love, you are in heat?" His head popped back up with his silky dark hair dangling off to one side. "And it is my job to satisfy you." His thumb started tenderly wiping the tears from my cheek. Each tear seemed to literally pain him.

My love? In heat? It's his job to satisfy me? What the fuck is even happening right now!?

"Please just get the hell off of me!" I abruptly screeched in fear, while slapping his hand away from my face and furiously kicking my legs, causing dead leaves to fly out all around us.

"Shh! It's okay, it's okay." He said with concern. He pulled me up into his arms and moved into a seated position so that I was sitting on his very naked lap. "You're okay, dragostea mea." He lovingly cradled my body against his and sniffed my hair like a freak. "Just calm down." 

I panicked further and tried to aggressively push out of his iron-like grasp. "Please let me go." I whimpered while slumping with watery eyes. It was obviously going to be no use trying to escape. He was way too strong.

He buried his nose into the crook of my neck and deeply sniffed again, then murmured against my skin. "That is the last thing I intended to do, my love." His arms tightened further around me, squishing my body against his with his predacious grasp. 

At this point, my heart was beating so furiously fast that I thought it might actually explode. My body was violently burning up with desire from his close proximity. I was trembling from both anxiety and lust, and I had no idea why. In my mind I was terrified, and yet, my arousal was dripping between my thighs. This guy had just been a harrowing wolf beast not too long ago and was saying that he had no intention of letting me go, leaving me in a state of confused emotional turmoil.

"I-I'm not your love. So you can stop calling me that." I stared at the ground as I nervously spoke, with my gaze honing in on a little cricket happily hopping through the leaves to distract myself from my fear. "Please, I need to go back to the town so I can return home." I was so scared that he would hurt or rape me, especially since he'd already proven himself to be dangerous.

"No, you are indeed my love." He firmly lifted my chin up to force my teary gaze to meet his concerned lupine one. "But would you prefer it if I called you Isabelle until you feel more comfortable with me?" I didn't answer and just warily stared at him. "That is your name, is it not? That is what the man in the field had called you." I still didn't respond, and just shakily sat there, trying to lean as far away as I could from this maniac. He sighed in frustration while tucking a strand of hair behind his ear. "Look, I honestly didn't mean to frighten you like this. Let's just start over, okay?" He swiftly placed a little kiss on my cheek as if he couldn't help himself. "My name is Haiden, and-"

"I don't fucking care! Just let me go home!" I abruptly screamed and thrashed like a bipolar maniac. I didn't give a shit about pleasantries. I just wanted to get the fuck away from this deranged loup-garou!

His grip immediately tightened around me. "Would you just calm down already, and feel safe in my arms like you're supposed to!" He growled. 

"Let me go! Let me go! Let me go!" I repetitively shouted, while managing to rip one arm free and hysterically smack him with it. 

"No! Dammit!" He aggressively growled while firmly grabbing my wrist. "You are mine and you're staying with me, and that's final!"  There was a possessive animalistic gleam in his crazed eyes, which sent tendrils of fear creeping up my spine.

A bone-chilling howl suddenly resounded throughout the forest, causing every hair on my body to stand straight up. Haiden defeatedly placed his hand on his forehead and shook his head, while mumbling something in Romanian. I surmised that it was something along the lines of "You've gotta be fucking kidding me."

"Okay, let's go." He abruptly stood up, while firmly holding my squirming body bridal style.

A new wave of anxiety crashed over me, as he began walking towards where the howl had come from. "Wait, where are you taking me?" Tears were pouring down my cheeks. These creatures had already killed Bunica and Becca. Who knew what he was going to do to me? "Please, please don't kill me. I just want to go home." I full-on sobbed with trembling bones.

He froze with an anguished expression as if my words had literally stabbed him right through the heart. "Dragostea mea, I would sooner face death myself than harm you in any way." He looked so utterly sincere that it was hard not to believe him. Then he started making his way through the trees again. 

"We are going to meet up with a few others at one of our campsites. We usually rest for a bit after our forced shift." A little ground squirrel holding a tiny tasty nut scurried back into its hole, as Haiden effortlessly jumped over a mossy fallen log. "Then we will go back to the pack village, where I will show you your new home." He pushed a low leafy branch out of his way, causing it to snap back behind us. 

My new home!? Oh my god, he's kidnapping me!

I gripped my head in panic. "No, no, no, no, no! You can't do this! I am an American citizen! People will come looking for me!" I was now practically hyperventilating from trepidation. 

He casually shrugged like it was no big deal. "I was seen taking you, so the townspeople have probably already assumed that you're dead. No one is going to come looking for you, I promise." My heart dropped at his words. He was likely right. They probably would assume that I was killed and eaten like the others. "Look, I'm now realizing that this might be..." He seemed as if he was vacillating in his head for a second, trying to find the right words to say. "...a difficult adjustment for you since you're human. But I promise you, my love, I will explain everything and you will be happy living by my side." He warmly smiled down at me.

"What do you want? A ransom? My parents own an Italian restaurant, and could possibly give you a lifetime supply of spaghetti? Or garlic bread? Or both?" I knew that he probably wouldn't want that, but maybe I could figure out what he would be willing to exchange me for?

A deep chuckle vibrated in his chest and caressed my ears. "There is nothing in this world that I would ever want in exchange for you. You are my most valuable treasure, dragostea mea." 

Dammit...

He swiftly flipped me over so that my butt was up in the air, and I was facing the ground. Leaves, sticks, mushrooms, and little tuffs of bristly grass all moved through my line of vision. "Besides, I've never been a big fan of spaghetti... Although, I would love a taste of these sexy buns." He lustfully growled while looking down at my embarrassing underwear.

Oh no! I forgot that I was wearing my 'sexy buns' panties!

My face turned beet red with mortification as he flipped me back around. Luckily, I wasn't able to dwell on my crippling humiliation, because my ears suddenly caught the sound of deep masculine chatter coming from up ahead. I could smell wood smoke from a fire burning, and see a warm glow faintly through the grey tree trunks and leafy shrubberies.
