When it did happen, they were invariably brothers, identical twins and each had a human mate. There was no way Edon and Rey were twins and they weren’t brothers. So how…?
Was this why they had started fighting?
Two hot men willing to fight to the death over you? Again, one of those things that was a lot different in reality from imagination.
Although, she’d responded.
Cass carefully let those thoughts in, lest they heat her up and consume her mind again. She’d thrust herself between the two Alphas and then… well… between her legs had started throbbing. She could still feel it, an uncomfortable dampness that had nothing to do with being soaked in mud.
Care to explain that? she questioned herself silently.
They’re hot. It was the moment. They were fighting. It was the stress and the tiredness and the moment and I got overwhelmed.
Echoing behind all that in letters that could reach to the sky:
THEY’RE WEREWOLVES!
Cass spent the next half hour bouncing that thought around before, unexpectedly, the drowse she had going pulled her under into sleep.

Cass awoke, her face and mouth full of fur and blinked in the strong sunlight glaring down on her. Although it was Fall, the season was still throwing up some Summer days it must have stored up. What was a cold morning had turned into a hot afternoon.
She sat up and rubbed her eyes, feeling she could sleep forever. Although Nia was soft and padded with fur, her butt was numb and she could feel the stretch in her legs from sitting astride her.
They were descending into a valley, Nia following a winding rocky path. It looked spectacular. Trees dressed in shades of red and yellow set off against dark green and brown. Even the rocks looked polished and beautiful. Cass saw something metallic shimmer in the trees. Something human and out of place in this garden of Eden.
As they descended, Cass felt her serenity wash away and anxiety start to replace it. Shapes were moving amongst the trees. Humans and wolves. As she watched, a naked female emerged from some hidden entrance and shifted into a wolf before disappearing into the forest. Two more followed her.
Cass knew a pack could be as little as an Alpha and two to three females and as many as fifty to seventy. They rarely got any larger than that, there being some natural limit. Some were one Alpha and all female and others would have a mixture of beta males and females. This one looked all female. She’d already counted at least ten werewolves and the idea she might soon be surrounded by possibly fifty of them turned her insides to ice.
She looked around, hoping to see Edon but couldn’t find him. Already down near the den, werewolves were gathering, looking up the hill at her. There was no way she was riding a werewolf down the hill into that .
“Um, Nia… can we stop? I need to get off.”
Nia halted and knelt down so Cass could dismount. As soon as her feet touched the ground, Nia shifted and Cass found herself touching not fur, but skin .
Cass turned, taking in the beauty before her. Nia had long brunette hair and green eyes. Her nose was dusted with freckles and her skin was tinged with caramel. She was completely naked of course and had the kind of sleek body only good genetics could provide. Before Cass could say a word, Nia flung her arms around her in a hug that toppled both of them to the ground.
“I am so happy you’re here!”
Nia kissed her on the cheek and pulled Cass close to her, oblivious to the fact they were laying in the dirt. Cass couldn’t help but smile, although the experience of being tackled by a girl with the body of a Greek goddess was an unusual one.
“Help her up Nia.”
Cass and Nia turned to see Edon standing on a rock looking down at them with a glimmer of a smile.
“I like her a lot. We’re going to be friends,” Nia said to Edon as she leapt up and then pulled Cass off the ground with no effort. Although Nia in human form was slightly shorter than Cass, she
