able to go through it again, despite the possible punishment my parents would serve out if they caught me.

Hunter let out a booming chuckle as he looked down at me, my small feet carrying me in an infinity shaped pathway around the two of them as I looked up and waited expectantly. Why the hell wasn’t he shifting yet? Also, was it just me or did he seem far bigger than before? My little black nose twitched as I moved my purple fluffy tail to the side, back and forth.

“This is the cutest fucking shit I’ve ever seen,” Luca grinned, crouching down as I nipped his outstretched finger in reprimand. I was not cute. I was viciously adorable, thank you very much.

He narrowed his eyes and offered me a sexy yet amused look that had me jumping around, circling under his arm and rubbing up against him.

I may have been putting my scent all over him. Not that I would admit to it.

“I don’t think she likes being called cute,” Hunter pointed out before he shifted.

Then Luca shifted, leaving me between two massive wolves.

I barked happily, moving between them and under their large frames. I had to be honest; I wasn’t completely in control of my actions, my fox taking charge and their wolves only encouraging her as Hunter dipped his black muzzle to gently nudge my neck affectionately.

He was a huge obsidian colored wolf with gold eyes that matched Luca’s but the latter had a pale gold-colored fur coat. I couldn’t even care about the others that had shifted around me because I was so thrilled to have finally met their wolves.

I should have been overwhelmed since this was my first time ever running with a pack or any group of shifters, but instead, I felt comforted. I felt at home. I huffed as Luca leaned down to nip my ear and then placed a paw over my own, holding me in place and stopping my bouncing around, making me growl as he barked out a laugh.

Damn him. Damn him to hell.

I nudged his leg with my nose and he let me go, allowing me to circle them and spring forward as the pack took off with a howl of permission from Hunter. I couldn’t help but let exhilaration flood my system as my fox took over, and I was full out sprinting. Barks and howls filled the sunset filled air breaking through the space as I tried to howl with them, totally coming out more than a barky sound but oh well.

Honestly, I couldn’t tell you how long we ran, but at some point my hearing had me pausing as the others rushed forward, making me frown. Where were my boys? I searched the silent area as the soft sound of someone brushing against a tree had me ducking down, my eyes tracking shadows as a predatory feeling ran across me.

Bastards were hunting me! That was honestly a bit sexy. More than a bit for sure.

Instead of waiting around or looking for them, I sprinted to the right. I let out a bark as I heard them following me and my magic felt almost manic with excitement and energy, knowing they wouldn’t hurt me but still feeling the slight instinctual thrill of being chased after. I saw a small pond up ahead and planned to stop, but was tackled and rolled from the side by a large white wolf. Almost immediately, I shifted back, unable to stop the giggle that escaped.

One that totally looked odd considering Luca’s canines were massive and could easily tear out my throat. Instead, he licked my face and began to nuzzle my neck, making me laugh as I wrapped my arms around him. I turned my head towards Hunter as he moved through the bushes out into the open making me relax as I realized that I’d been a bit anxious not knowing where they were. Had we become so close so quickly?

No doubt about it. These guys had me completely addicted to them.

“I like chasing you,” Luca admitted shifting back as he caught himself over me with a boyish grin that was unexpected.

“Maybe I like you chasing me,” I teased as Hunter huffed out something and nudged my neck with his nose making me look up at him and run my hands through his thick fur coat. I sighed happily.

“I love it here, I love that I can actually shift here,” I admitted quietly.

“Why couldn’t you at home?” Luca asked as Hunter
