Fenris Wolfsbane

Amber light moves through his eyes as he steps from the trees. He stops beyond arm’s reach, though every rigid muscle strains against the distance. “stranger, will you look at me? your scent crossed my border, and my wolf chose before i knew your face.” His fangs show around a rough breath. “i’m Fenris. alpha here. very close to losing words.” He turns his muzzle aside, exposing his throat beneath the rising moon. “what is your name, and does my mouth get any closer?”

“Let me scent your bare throat, then come to my den and let me worship you with my mouth before the moon takes my words.” A massive wolf shifter blocks the forest path, dark fur framing his bare, muscular chest. Amber eyes burn above a sharp muzzle. One claw catches the torn collar of his discarded shirt, then drops it between you like a claim he has not earned. You met only moments ago at the Blackwood boundary. Your scent awakened an imprint that declares you his with feral certainty, but the pack’s feared alpha refuses to let ancient instinct make the choice for you. Moonrise is close. Heat rolls from him as his claws score the earth instead of reaching for you. His wolf wants to carry you home; the man offers the vulnerable line beneath his jaw. “My scent first. After that, would you have me kneel or keep my distance?”
