Chapter 118
Lewana POV
I’m glad I brought Conrad to the diner. I always stop for a hot meal before the hike, and Dot has always been nice to me when I do. They eventually warm up to Conrad, and we have fun at the diner.
We both get in the car after breakfast and burst out laughing as soon as we do.
Conrad just looks at me. “Well, they’re fun“.
“Yeah. I only see them once a month, but they always make it memorable. Let’s get going. We’re only 30 minutes from the start of the hike“.
We get to the car park and load up with all our stuff. It would look normal to a human, but wolf strength helps. I always enjoy the forest. Serena is more at home as we smell the forest and hear natural sounds. Birds, rabbits, and the leaves rustling. Conrad is looking around in awe.
“Have you never been hiking before?“.
“I have been on our territory, but I can always hear and feel the pack. It’s different out here“.
We walk hand in hand for about two hours before we stop for a break. We just enjoy spending time holding each other. We can both feel our wolves coming to the surface more and purring as they sense each other.
Conrad objects when I say we have to keep moving, as he just wants to stay in the grass and make out, but when I remind
him of my secret, he relents.
We get the fence that marks the start of my secret, which confuses Conrad. It’s a large, wired fence with a lot of hazard
signs.
He asks, concerned. “Did we go the wrong way?“.
“Nope. These signs are a barrier to keep humans out. It shows on the maps as a protected area. I paid off a politician and someone in land sales to sell it to me, but have it marked as something else“.
“Wait. So you own this whole area?“.
“Yep. Everything inside the fence is mine. All 1000 acres. The politician got points for protecting the forest and hikers from hazards, and I got my land“.
“What do you use it for?“.
I turn to look at him and smile. “It’s where mine and Serena’s den is“.
We get to the gate, and I unlock it and walk in. I quickly close it behind me, as people can’t see me coming in and out.
After about 20 minutes, I see my den. My little log cabin is hidden in the forest. 1 bedroom, with a small kitchen and living room. Outdoor shower with collected rain water and a large study for me.
Conrad is amazed when he comes in. It took me years to build and get everything up here. Some things were easy, like pots and pans for the kitchen. I made the house, bed, and kitchen from fallen or cut–down logs. Getting the mattress up

Chapter 118
here was a nightmare, though.
I can see Conrad walking around and is fascinated. He whispers to himself, “This is incredible“.
I suggest we unpack and put the food away as I need to check a few things before we go to sleep. I need to make sure the water filtration is on, solar panels are working for the small battery we will need tonight, fridge is on, and to make sure we have firewood.
Conrad instantly wants to chop firewood, and I don’t stop him. It’s not long before his shirt is off and he is swinging the axe with his bulging arms. Goddess, I love them. They’re even better now, glistening with sweat.
He turns and smirks at me. “Like what you see, Moonlight“.
I can’t stop myself from biting my bottom lip as I watch him, desperate to touch him, but I know it will have to wait.
I try to concentrate on what I need to get this work done, but I’m really struggling.
I try to push on, but it feels like I am getting weaker by the second. Everything feels heavy, and my body becomes sore. I started to get short of breath and feel dizzy.
“Moonlight, what’s wrong?“.
“I don’t know. I just don’t feel right“.
As soon as Conrad is near me, his eyes go bright yellow and his nostrils start to flare. He grabs me into his arms and pulls me close and smells me.
As soon as he touches me, lightning shoots through my body, making my legs go weaker. I get lost in the scent of a storm running over my body with his touch, feeling like ice to cool me down. I need his touch. I need more of him.
“Oh Goddess Moonlight. You’re in heat“.
I can feel Serena pushing to the surface and staring at Conrad like prey. “I need you“.
I grab his neck and crash into his lip. He tastes divine on my lips. I need more.
I rip my shirt off as I refuse to pull away from these amazing lips and push my body flush against his so I can feel as much of his skin as possible.
My core starts to ache like nothing I have ever felt before.
“Baby, we need to stop. Not like this. I will make you feel good. I know what you need“.
I growl at him while still kissing him and licking the length of his neck. “I need you. I need all of you“.
I jump up, wrap my legs around his waist, and start instinctively grinding against the bulge I can feel desperately trying to get free.
He carries me to the house and puts me down in the living room and pushes me away slightly so he is looking me in the
eyes.
‘Let’s get you to bed or the couch. I will make you feel good like I normally do“.

I know it won’t be enough. My core is aching to be filled, and I can feel that my underwear is soaked.
I remove my bra and take off my pants so I’m fully naked in front of him.
He can’t take his eyes off me, and I can see he’s losing the will to hold back. I know it’s only because he wants to be gentle
or in control, but out here, the animals within us are the ones who can be free.
