Mom always told me to never walk home alone at night. Well, technically, I was driving. But that's the price of being the designated driver for a girls night out.

Then again, I also wasn't expecting it to start raining during a full moon.

"At least it's not monsoon season in the Pacific." I mumble trying to keep focus on the road.

When I hear howling, I turn to look at the tree line hoping no animal comes running out in front of my car. When I don't notice anything, I turn back to the road and slam on my breaks as something blurs pass on the road.

But because of the wet roads, the car starts to spin out and even with doing everything right, the last memory I have is the scraping of metal.

And a black wolf.

The sound of music slowly breaks through my slumber as the world starts coming back to me. I groan as a throbbing begins in my head and a stiffness in my limbs.

"Ow," I grumble out.

"Oh, good." I open my eyes to find a man, shirtless behind a counter. "You're awake."

"Where am I?" I slowly sit up but fall back as the world spins. "Fuck."

The sound of footsteps have me opening my eyes again to see the man closer with a glass of water in his hands.

"Your crash looked rough." He says setting the glass down along with two pills. "For your headache."

I blink at him, "where's my car?"

He clears his throat. "A friend of mine is towing it to his shop."

"And who are you, exactly?" I pick up the pills and look over the red writing on them before grabbing the water and taking them.

"I'm Clark. I heard your car alarm and found you." He rubs the back of his neck. "The hospital is a bit of a way. Figured my cabin would be safer until you came to."

I settle back and look at him. "Did you happen to see a black dog?"

His shoulders stiffen before he turns to walk back to the kitchen. "No, most animals hide during storms."

I watch as he starts to move around. "Delilah."

"What?" He looks back at me.

"My name, I'm Delilah."

He smiles at me. "Nice to meet you, Delilah."

I give him a small smile back and sip my water.

After my accident, Clark starts showing up more. Apparently he works at the local paper as a reporter.

It's cute when he joins me at the cafe and how focused he becomes on his work.

"You're staring again, Lilah." He says looking at me over his glasses.

I feel warmth climb my neck. "Can't help that you're so cute when you focus." I mumble turning back to my proposal.

"Cute enough to get a date?"

I look at him over my glasses and chew on my lower lip. "What were you thinking?"

"That little diner with the pie you like."

I smile to myself, before looking at him. "I would like that."

He smiles at me, his canines standing out.

"Why don't you want to stay the night again?" I ask wrapping my arms around his neck. "It's our two month anniversary."

Clark hums and holds my waist, his grip tightening.

"I would love to." He says nuzzling his nose with mine. "God, knows I would."

"But," I say pecking his lips.

"I have a story to follow up on."

I pout, "but it's a full moon. I've proven I can't take care of myself during them."

After the car crash, I took a tumble down the steps of my building, almost fracturing my arm. Then I almost got run over by a bike group. That was luck since Clark pulled me out of the way just in time.

"Just stay in for a movie night." He suggests holding me.

"Can't I just stay at the cabin for when you finish with your article?"

He smiles and kisses me. I hum as warmth spreads through my chest. He pulls back too soon for my liking.

"I would love that," he whispers pecking my lips. "But you'll be safer here, Lilah."

I huff. "Fine."

"Thank you," he kisses my forehead and steps back.

Later that night, as I'm getting ready for bed, there's scratching at my front door. I think I'm imagining it until I hear it again.

I sigh and walk to the door. "Someone lost pet probably." I mumble unlocking the door.

Before I can even take the creature in, they're a black blur climbing on to my couch. What I find is a black wolf who looks bigger than he should be.

I blink at him as he settles on the couch watching me.

"Uh," I lean against the now closed door and blink at the wolf more.

His tail wags as I move closer. "Wouldn't you be more comfortable outside?" I cross my arms standing in front of him.

His nose nudges my hip and I sigh before scratching behind his ear. "Maybe Clark will help me with you in the morning," I yawn. "Well, I'm too tired to deal with you." I pat the wolf's head before walking to my bedroom. "Don't destroy the couch."

As I settle in my bed, the door to my room pushes open and the wolf is climbing on to my bed.

"Uh, no sir. Down." I say pointing to the floor.

He just huffs and drops his head on to my stomach. I grunt and try to push him off, but he's just too heavy.

I huff. "Fine, just don't eat me." I turn my white noise machine on and close my eyes.

I slowly wake up as my alarm starts going off. I groan and try to roll over to turn it off, but two arms stop me.

Wait, two arms?

I open my eyes to find Clark, his legs dangling off the bed as he nuzzles my stomach tightening his hold around my waist.

And he's completely naked.

I blink at him a few times knowing for a fact I fell asleep with a wolf on me last night. Not my boyfriend who said…

I stare up at the ceiling as I turn my alarm off and the whole world tilts at the realization of one thing.
