Dawn's first light was breaking through the trees and shown
down upon Brad and March who had both slept in the woods
that night. The two were curled about one another, comforting
and warming each other. It was March who first awoke, stretching
and turning to give Brad a soft lick, stirring him from his
slumber. Brad stretched and looked around, finding himself
laying naked, in the woods, next to his new girlfriend's dog.
"What's going on?" he pondered as the night's event began to
return to him. He shook his head, not believing what had
happened, he had been turning into "That thing.." for a while
now, ever since being bitten by the nut on the subway but,
this was the first time he could remember that happened so
vividly. He normally had flashbacks, brief glimpses of
running through the woods or thrashing around in the chamber in
his apartment. This was odder then normal, which was very odd to
begin with. Why had he not torn March limb from limb, he'd done
it before, like when he tried to hide out in the wood up north.
He stumbled across a pack of wolves and fought until they were
all dead. He'd attacked farm animals and just about any thing else
he'd come across. Then it hit him, the odor, that sweet smell
which came from March. The one he noticed before but, just
couldn't understand, it was starting to make sense.

He could remember the way she acted, rolling about and offering
herself to him, and to the monster within him. He reached out and
scratched at her side, she cocked a leg up and exposed her
belly, which Brad rubbed and patted. She let out a sigh and
rolled about, loving the attention. As he watched, March stood
up and turned her rear to him, lifting her tail to one side.
"That's it, she's in heat!" the answer was so simple that Brad
kicked himself for not thinking of it sooner. "That would explain
the smell and the way she acted but, why was he acting the way
he was and... what about the beast, she had effected it as well.",
Brad scratched his head. "I don't think I have ever come across
a dog in heat while the beast before, of course, I can't remember
much of what does on while I'm in that form.", Brad thought,
"Why is my memory so clear now, its all coming back to me. Could
I be gaining some sort of control over it?"

Brad stood and looked around, finding torn remnants of his
clothes, scattered around the forest floor. He tied them together,
enough to cover himself. March never left his side, always
looking at him, whimpering of his touch. Brad stopped
periodically to patter her head and hold her, her warm fur felt
so good against his skin. The to made their way through the woods,
Brad only guessing what direction to go. They soon reached the
edge of the city, The smell of smog stuck Brad's nose, "This is
definitely the city.", his senses hard become sharp after his
first transformation but, they seems even more so now, he could
still smell March through the mass of scents which assaulted him.
Brad and March walked through the streets toward his house, he
hoped no one would see him, walking half naked with a dog but,
in this city, no one would pay it any mind.

He entered the door to his house and walked upstairs, March
trotted along behind him. The door was locked, "Good thing for the
spare key I hid under the mat.", Brad took the key and unlocked
the door. His apartment was a mess, garbage over flowing from the
trash can, old pizza boxes laying on the floor, clothing flung
about. March nosed around as Brad found some clothes to put on,
"We've got to get you back to Jenny before she wakes up and finds
the two of us gone." Brad turned to discover March pawing at his
bookshelf which concealed his chamber, the last occupants of this
apartment had been into the S&M scene and had it built to keep
their interests secret. It was one of the only redeeming factors
about this apartment, it was in the bad part of town and the
only legally occupied building on the block. It wasn't pretty but,
it was home.

"Time to go girl." Brad patted March's rump and walked to the
door, she followed close behind him. Brad haled a taxi and
opened the door for March, then climbed in behind her.
"145 east street and step on it." Brad put his arm around March
who sat beside him. The cab driver looked at them in the mirror
and pulled away from the curve. Brad looked down at March
occasionally and often received a lick to the end of his nose,
that simple animal, this dog had found a weakness in him. He
had never know it before, it was like love but, some thing more.
She had stood beside him in his darkest hour and survived,
but know offered him more then he could understand. "I know
she's in heat and that may have been the reason for what
happened last night but, why is there still this bond between
us?", he patted her head again as the cab stopped. "That'll be
$9.50, you lucky I'm in a good mood and didn't charge extra for
your girlfriend there.", The cab driver held out his hand.
"Girlfriend...?", Brad stammered. "Was it that obvious?", he
thought as he handed him the money and watched the cab drive
off.

Brad and March walked to Jenny's house and slowly opened
the door which was still unlocked, making sure not to
make any noise as they entered. "And where have you two
been?", Brad had been busted, Jenny stood in the bedroom
door way, rubbing her eyes. "Umm.. I took March for a walk,
she was pawing at the door and I though she needed some
exercise.", Brad hopes Jenny fell for this ruse. "Well,
I'll forgive you if.... you make be breakfast.", Jenny move
to him and put her arms around him playfully. "Ok, its a
deal.", Brad returned her embrace, "What do you want?"
"How about ham and an omelet?", Jenny ran her fingers
through his hair. For some odd reason, Brad wasn't
enjoying this, normally he'd be all over her but, this
feeling in his gut made him pull away, "Ok, ham and eggs
it is." He rushed off to the kitchen, pondering the feeling
that nagged at him. Jenny stood shocked, "Where was the horny
animal she had last night? He's acting as if he were scared
of her or some thing."

Brad searched through the kitchen, not knowing where any thing
was, finding things scattered about here and there. "This
is almost as bad as my place.", he though, trying to block
out every thing else from his mind. As he worked, memories of
last night danced in his head, his time with Jenny, the beast
with March. "What was going on? It was so much simpler when I
just turned into a mindless monster and slammed against the
walls of my chamber.", Brad stirred the eggs in the pan, adding
a little butter and salt. He was torn between two lives and
both of them were changing, he now had a girl who loved him,
and the beast had found a lover who quenched its rage.

"Breakfast is ready.", Brad suck his head out the doorway.
"I'm in the bedroom Brad, bring it in here.", Jenny's voice
echoed back. Brad put the food on a tray and made his way to
the bedroom, finding Jenny laying on the bed in a see through
nightgown. She motioned to him to sit beside her on the bed,
took the tray and placed it beside her on the night stand.
She began to kiss Brad passionately, caressing his chest and
opening his shirt. Brad took her in his arms, pulling the
gown from her shoulders and sliding it down, revealing her
supple breasts. Brad could feel his manhood growing as she
massaged his body, her lips pressed against his. Jenny's hand
slid down into his pants, grasping his shaft and massaging
it between her fingers. Brad's head began to feel light as
he surrendered to his carnal side, his desire spurred on by
the hands which pulled and rubbed at him.

Jenny unfastened his pants and pulled them open, then helped
him take them off. She yanked his underwear down, causing
his shaft to spring up, almost striking her face. She
giggled a little and took it into her mouth, her tongue
rubbing and encircling him. Brad's hand found their way to
the back of Jenny's head, holding her there, preventing the
pleasure from ending. He was enjoying this far more then
the night before and was being lost in a sea of ecstasy,
until a familiar smell caught his nose. He snapped out of
his daze and looked about, seeing March staring at him from
the doorway, a low whimper rang out. "What am I doing?", he
thought, "Here I am, getting the best head I've ever felt
and all I can think about is March."

Brad stopped Jenny's head, "We can't do this Jenny. I just
don't feel right about it today." Jenny's eyes mirrored her
sense of loose as she pulled back, she was hurt by his
words and could not understand why he had said them.
She fell back to the bed, going limp. "Now, don't take it
that way Jenny. I don't want you to feel bad, I just don't
feel in a sexual mood this morning.", Brad comforted her,
"I guess your wore me out last night, you were some thing."
Jenny smiled a little but, it soon faded. "Come on, your
breakfast is getting cold and if you finish it all,
maybe we can finish what we started.", Brad said playfully.
The smile returned and Jenny sat up, grabbed the tray and
began to eat.

Brad got off the bed and walked out of the room, making sure
to close the door behind him. March stood in the middle of
the room, her soulful eyes searching his. Brad fell to his
knees and held her, almost crying. "How can I feel this
way? I love you both so very much and I can't bare to loose
either of you.", he hugged her furry neck, burying his
face in her fur. Tears began to stream from his eyes,
running down his cheeks and onto her fur. Brad couldn't
hold it back any longer, his emotions were growing so
strong and the internal conflict between Jenny and March
had finally thrown him over the edge.

Brad barley notice the squeak of the door opening behind him
or maybe he just didn't care, he just held March and cried.
Jenny walked over to him and put her hand on his shoulder,
"Are you ok?" Brad looked up at her, his face still wet with
tears, "Yes.. I just.." Jenny put her finger to his lips,
stopping him from finishing, "It's ok, no matter what, I'll
understand."

Brad snuffed a little, his nose running slightly. "I...I
have some problems which I haven't told you about yet."
Brad lowered his head again, "And I don't know how to tell
you. There just to unbelievable." Jenny kneeled next to him
and held him in her arms, "Brad, I think I'm falling in love
with you and I know we can work around any problem you have.
Nothing could be that bad." Brad put an arm around Jenny,
keeping one still around March's neck. "I have...A problem
with the moon...", he paused, "I change....I'm different
when the moon is full."

Jenny's eyes met lovingly with his, he could feel her
understanding. "How are you different?", she asked.
"Well, like I said, I change..", Brad took a deep breath,
"It all started a year ago, I was riding the subway and this
homeless guy got on. He sat across from me and just stared
at me. I kept looking down at my newspaper but, I could feel
his eyes burning into me. When I finally go the nerve to
look up, he was snarling, his teeth...they were pointed and
foam ran from the corners of his mouth."

Brad began to shiver as he remembered the incident, "He
leapt at me and bit into my arm, we fought as the others
watched us, non of them moving to help, simply stood
there and watched. The subway car finally came to a stop
and the doors opened, the guy pulled away from me and
dashed through the people trying to get on. I just sat
there, in shock, my arm gushing blood. I probably would
have bled to death if it weren't for that guy who finally
helped me off the car and to the hospital."

Jenny pulled him tight against her, "It's all right,
that was so long ago, you shouldn't still fear it. There's
lots of strange people out there and you can't let one
incident rule your life."
Brad looked up at her again, "No, its not just that, every
night after that there was a full moon, I would change into
this horrible thing." Jenny squeezed him again, "What do
you mean?"

"I'd a werewolf, how much plainer do I have to make it!",
Brad lost control for a second, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to
yell, its just that I do the most terrible things when I
change and I've hurt people too." "Who, who have you hurt?",
she asked. "When I change, I don't have any control over
what I do, I run through the woods and attack every thing I
see.", Brad began to cry again.

"Is.. is that where you were this morning?", Jenny leaned
back and looked at him. "Yes, I felt the change coming on
last night and fled to the woods, I didn't want to hurt you."
Brad turned away, not wanting to look at her.
"March followed me, and when I change.. I.... we....", Brad
couldn't bring himself to tell her what had happened, he knew
it wasn't his fault but, it had still happened and he could
remember every moment of it.

Jenny looked at March, examining her, looking for any mark,
the slightest scratch. "March looks ok to me, you didn't hurt
her.", she comforted him. Brad laughed slightly, "Hurt her,
no, I know I didn't hurt her."
"What ever you're going through, I know we can get through it
together. Now that I know about it, I can help you." She
looked at March who was watching them closely, "WE can help
you."

Brad lowered his head to her bosom and sobbed, he now
was sure that she loved him and she understood his problem,
she wouldn't push him away or run, she'd be there for him.
They held each other as they sat in the middle of the room,
neither spoke as they couldn't find the words.
March stepped closer to then and placed a paw on Brad leg,
her eye looked sadly at them, as if she could feel their
pain and wanted to be with them in it. 
-------------------------------------------------------
I personally think this series would make a cool movie.
I saw a movie a while ago about a werewolf cursed by his
brother and was kept from finding love. It was a nice
movie and I hope this series is just as touching.
