others as light as the day. If Alex hadn’t seen their chests slowly rising and falling, he would have assumed them to be statues, they stood so still. As he watched the two magnificent creatures, he suddenly felt the air become charged with electricity. He pushed back from the tree he was leaning against and looked around. His skin became tight, the beast inside of him snapping and growling to be free.
    He closed his eyes and fought with his inner self. He could not let it loose, not after controlling it for so long. What had set it off? The two wolves? The wilderness? He clenched his fists and squeezed his eyes shut. Sweat broke out over his skin, his whole body shaking with the force of trying to restrain himself . A breeze rolled through, brushing along his skin and cooling his body. He felt the beast retreat, felt himself go back to normal, and breathed a sigh of relief. He turned his attention back to the wolves, his eyes growing wide as he saw they were watching him. The one with the black coat had eyes so blue they seemed eerie, and the one with the light coat had eyes so green it was like looking at a freshly cut lime. They made no move to attack, didn’t even appear to feel threatened by him.
    Alex willed himself to be calm, knowing the creatures before him could tear him apart with just a snap of their massive jaws. The air became electrically charged once again, and Alex gritted his teeth and dug his nails into the tree. He looked at his hands, fear coursing through him when he saw his nails growing long, becoming claws. He started to hyperventilate and looked back to the two wolves.
    He squinted, watching in horror as the animals forms wavered. The air crackled, popped, and within seconds the wolves were gone. In their place stood two gloriously naked men, big and strong, packing muscle and sinew. Alex was so stunned, he couldn’t move. Their bodies were honed to perfection. The cocks hanging between their legs were long and thick, the twin weights below huge and full. They both had a nest of hair surrounding their erections, a line of hair trailing up to their navel, and a light sprinkling along the wide expanse of their chests.
    Alex swallowed and flicked his eyes to the two sets that stared at him. They were what he was—creatures, beasts. Glorious and beautiful as they may be, they were monsters, most likely ready to kill him. Alex took off, zigzagging between trees, branches slapping him in the face, arms and legs. He could feel them behind him, knew they were following him. His heart pumped harder, faster, his blood coursing through his veins, adrenaline pumping through his body. He panted hard, swinging his arms and legs as fast as he could until he felt as though he hit a brick wall. He was a coward. The trip to Forrest Haven was the whole reason he had come, had decided to visit the small mountain town. He had come so far, and what had he done the moment he had found what he was looking for?   He ran. Like a wimp.
    He started to slow down, his body growing tired, the wall he’d hit making him feel like his limbs were made of cement. He chanced a look behind his shoulder and didn’t see anything, but knew he was being watched. He tossed his bag on the ground, the weight not helping his escape.
    “This was a mistake,” he whispered to himself, turning around in circles as he looked at every angle of the forest that surrounded him. He turned and started running again, sensing humans close by, and knowing he must be near town. The closer he got to Forrest Haven, the more he felt like he could control himself and what was happening.
    He tore through the tree line, seeing the massive structure of Wolf Lodge, where he was staying. He breathed out roughly, sweat dripping down his face as he looked again over his shoulder. Nothing. He wasn’t a fool, though. He knew they were close even if he couldn’t see them.
    He ran towards the lodge, slowing his pace when the ground beneath him became soft, spongy.
