communing with nature.” His emerald eyes were lit, intense, his jaw clenched. “We are not human.”
    Brianna tried again to pull away from him and this time he let her. She was shaking, not with fear of him as he suspected, but with fear for him. For his sanity. What he was telling her was impossible.
    “You’re not a werewolf. Your family and those villagers are not werewolves. You’re just confused—but we can get you some help.” Tears choked her as her mind raced. He needed doctors, the best that money could buy. Luckily she had enough money to get him the treatment he needed. “I promise I’ll help you get well.”
    “You don’t understand, but you will. The night is upon us, and the moon is on the rise. You will see the truth of my words then. Just know that I am sorry I cannot help you through this. I would give you more time to know me before you see what I am, but it is impossible.”
    “If you’re what you say you are, then why pick me? Why not pick one of your own kind to…to love?” She faltered. She loved him so much that she was starting, in some dark corner of her mind, to believe him a little.
    “I don’t know, and I have never before heard of an interspecies mating. I’m not even sure we can produce offspring, you and I, though I want to try. We mate for life,” he said firmly. “We mate for life, instinctively knowing when we’ve found the right one. You’re my one, my woman, and my mate. And whether or not you believe me, I will love you forever, even if you turn from me in horror after tonight. I am still yours.”
    “Have you never…mated before me?” she whispered.
    “You are the only woman I’ve ever lain with. The only woman I’ve ever wanted to lie with. Before you there was only my hand and my fantasies of a faceless mate—you. I will never lie with another. There is only you,” he vowed.
    “I first saw you when you entered the forest,” he continued. “You captivated me, pulled at me and lured me. I followed you, sometimes as a wolf because of the full moon, and sometimes as a man, but I could not let you out of my sight. You haunted me. When I saw you fall down that ravine, I almost died of fright. You have no idea how thankful I was when I realized you were alive.”
    Her eyes were rounded. “How can that be? It’s just not possible. I’m scared for you, Ivan. I love you, but this…” She trailed off as she became aware of the gathering darkness. Ivan’s eyes glowed, like emeralds in the shadows.
    “You can watch me change.” His voice was rough and guttural . “I will leave afterwards, to hunt with my pack, but I will be back at dawn. If you find that you do not want to see me again, leave the front door closed and locked and I will go. I will send someone to fetch you and take you away from here. I will let you go, but I will miss you.” His voice broke, sadness permeating every word. “I love you,” he murmured.
    He backed out of the house, out into the snow. Brianna helplessly followed, openly weeping. He was so earnest, she wanted to believe him—anything to know his mind wasn’t deranged.
    The rising moon illuminated him as he removed his clothing. Brianna protested, trying to stop him, but was interrupted as a howl rose from his lips. Brianna gasped as she saw Ivan fall to the ground writhing. She rushed to his side.
    “Get away,” he growled and turned his head up to the moon. What she saw nearly stopped her heart. His face was changing. His teeth had sharpened and elongated, and the bones of his face seemed to be shifting beneath the skin. “Go back to the house, Bri. I might hurt you in the other form—” He howled again, his entire body beginning to shift.
    Brianna raced back to the house as he’d instructed, knowing her presence wasn’t needed. She watched from the window as her lover shifted into a wolf. As the change progressed, she saw that he was much larger than any ordinary wolf, and far more wildly beautiful. His fur was
