Subject: The Wolfish Stalker Part 05

Hey guys, new chapter up again and what a chapter it was to write. It had
quite a story behind it. I had to move house quite fast on account of my
boiler breaking down and leaking some poisonous gas into the house. I was
without my computer or the internet for a few weeks (Good few weeks). The
good side about that is that I know fully what to do with the story now and
even how many chapters it is going to be divided into.

You will probably have noticed that I have not put a lot of sex into the
chapters, it is just simply due to the fact that I am not very good with
writing sex scenes and I am still a relatively inexperienced writer. This
is my first story I have done and hopefully it will not be my last.

Anyway same as usual any thoughts, concerns or questions then feel free to
write to Kasaihowler@gmail.com.

And I have a special thanks to everyone who wrote to me about the story. It
was very exciting and humbling to know that many people do enjoy the story.
Thank you.



Mike moaned slightly louder as Derek's hand made its way down to his crotch
on the inside of his pants. He did not know what Derek was doing to him
right now but he did not want him to stop at all. He was simply enjoying
getting lost in the passion he felt for the much taller, much hotter jock.

Derek's mouth came away from his and Mike let out a small whimper as he
liked kissing on Derek. Derek looked into his eyes with his own and made
Mike look at him in return as he worked Mike's dick that his hand had found
its way into. Mike put his hand forward and felt Derek's chest. It was
hard, harder than anybody's he had ever felt. Not that this would be hard
but he didn't care. He felt his hand go up and down to the unmoving flesh.

Derek felt Mike's hand and with his other one and put it down a little
further until it hit Derek's pair of jeans. Mike's hand fought with Derek's
jeans to gain entry just as Derek's was doing. It was quite amazing that
Derek had been able to get his hand in so easily when his jeans were much
tighter. Although he was able to do so eventually and what the hell. Mike
had known that Derek's dick was larger than his but this was something else
it felt like a pole all hard and ready for action.

Mike began to rub it up and down and to this Derek made a strange half
growl half moan noise and actually moved forward slightly each time Mike
moved his hand as if he was trying to fuck. Mike then put his face to
Derek's for a kiss. And Derek did not deny him. They kissed passionately
for a few minutes just enjoying the feeling of each other's dicks getting
stroked.

It was just then that a Derek broke all contact and then looking rather
angry said "I think I'm gonna treat you Mikey" and then got onto his knees
in front of Mike. At this Mike did not have a clue on what to do. He had
enjoyed what they were doing before but was he ready for this thrill.

Mike and Derek pulled up their pants quite slowly. Each of them enjoying
the thoughts of what they had just done. Mike had no idea that he was that
good at giving head and Derek had acted like it was the best that he had
had ever. Mike wondered if he had put Derek off a little with the way he
had resisted a little during their encounter.

Mike turned to look at Derek who was now pulling up his zip. He noticed
Mike looking at him and then smiled with that evil smile he usually did if
he was thinking of Mike or thinking of something he probably shouldn't be
doing. "Did you.....Ummm...you know enjoy that?" asked Mike.

Derek left out a bark of laughter and then when his mirth had cleared
muttered "Well if I had waited any longer to get you alone I think I would
have done it in my boxers". Mike had not heard all of what he had said but
picked out bits and pieces.

Mike looked at him with one eyebrow raised and his mouth at an awkward
angle before stating "I don't speak mumble".

Derek watched Mike for a second his smile dropping and then said back "Yeah
I did enjoy it Mikey, I wanted to milk it for everything it was worth".
Derek picked up a small stone at his feet and threw it to see how far he
could toss it. He went quite far into the distance quicker than Mike's eyes
could follow.

"Nice throw and.....thanks" answered Mike to the statement Derek had made.
He then pulled his bag up to his shoulder and let it hang from one side.
Derek did the same and then looking at each other. Mike with apprehension
and Derek with a lot of excitement they headed toward the forest.

As they approached Mike stopped for a second and then took in a deep
breath. Derek noticed his reaction and then whispered to him "I promise
nothing will happen". At this they both headed in.

As they made their way through the forest Mike noted that Derek seemed to
know where he was going. He owed it all down to different footprint
markings, or so he had told Mike that they had made a couple of times and
that they would follow during the competition. However like the sports car
Mike was clueless in regards to such things and let Derek lead.

The walk, or run as they did sometimes was quite peaceful. The forest truly
was a beautiful place and he could tell that Derek loved being in it as
well.

"Yeah Mikey its true, me and the guys come in here sometimes just to run.
Are you kidding me if you seen the amount of food and beer that Bobby and
me can put away you would understand why we exercise a lot" said Derek as
he stood on top of a log and then jumped down from it.

Mike went over the same log but with a little more care as he did not want
to come down on his face. "I still can't believe how much you guys do in
one day, let alone the entire week. Makes me feel like a slacker" giggled
Mike to himself.

Derek noted a small opening in the forest that he wanted Mike to go through
and pointed to it. It seemed to be brighter than the forest which indicated
that it was out in day light.

Mike came out and was shocked to see that there was a large clear field
similar to the one they had parked the car. Although this one had no such
entrances for cars, only a large clearing with several rocks in it. Derek
looked around and nodded proudly. "OK no sign of them being here. I think
were the first" said Derek as they headed to sit down on the rocks for a
few minutes.

Derek seemed to be OK from the workout but Mike was slightly drenched in
sweat. It was obvious by now that he did not get out as much as he should.
However he was not overweight or far or anything. He just did not have as
much energy as the three jocks seemed to display.

Both teens sat down and dug out a couple of bottles of water from their
bags. "Geez, I think this walk is going to kill me!" said Mike in a rather
loud statement as he felt his fingers. His fingers looked slightly swollen
from what he could see and his skin was a little red.

Derek turned to see what he had been looking at and then took a closer look
at both sides of Mike's face for a second and then his fingers. "Yeah you
do look a little strange but I don't think it's going to kill you" said
Derek. He took Mike's hands and felt them.

"You should be fine after a couple of hours sleep when you get home" he
stated as he raised to his feet.

"I wonder where those other two guys are. I thought they would have met us
here?" said Mike as he looked around to see if he could see or hear them
coming out of the forest. Derek also looked around but as he did something
caught out of the corner of his eye.

He looked over and then seen a stick sticking up from the ground in a pile
of mud. In the pile of mud was a crude drawing of two people and one of
them sticking out his or her tongue. Also next to it was a note saying "See
you at the finish line. Dimetri".

Mike picked up the stick and then whispered to himself "Dimetri is
beginning to concern me" in a sarcastic tone. He had no idea that he had
such a childish sense of humour. It was a little scary for Mike but it made
him interesting to be around.

"I didn't notice this before. We should get a move on!" he said to Mike in
a flat statement. "You OK for that Mikey boy?" asked Derek.

Mike took his eyes away from the drawing he thought was supposed to be
Dimetri and Bobby judging by the expression on one of the figures. However
it was hard to tell. Mike looked at the way they had come and the way they
were going to make their way back. "Yeah I'll survive" sighed Mike as he
began to move in the direction of the trees.

About ten minutes later when they were well and truly covered in brush Mike
noticed that Derek was going slower than before. More than likely in an
attempt to let him keep up and not be out of breath all the time. It was
strange for him to see Derek purposely lose a competition. As far as he was
aware he was one of the most competitive people he knew. It was something
that he understood but didn't really share too much.

"Come on Mikey, I'm trying to let ya keep up but it's not easy. Part of me
wants to run. A very big part" said Derek in a mock voice as made his steps
go with exaggerated slowness. Mike laughed at this and then followed him
but went faster so they would not be kept behind.

They were quiet for a couple of minutes as they moved quicker. Mike spent
the time listening to the sounds around them, he was looking for something
specific though. That being approaching foot sounds. He felt a little
better having told Derek and not having him laugh in his face. He seemed to
genuinely believe him.

It had only been this week since Derek had made the large bombshell that
not only had he been watching the younger teen but also that he liked him.
At first he thought that it might have been extremely awkward but as far as
he could tell he had felt nothing like that. Sure he was a little jumpy at
first but now he felt OK being with the three jocks. They had taken Mike
for a day out and then they were going for something to eat together.

Mike was brought back to reality with Derek calling his name a little
further up the path. He appeared to have fallen behind slightly in his day
dreaming. "Hey get your little ass up here and take a look at this" he
shouted to Mike.

Mike rushed toward him and then looked around to see if he could figure out
why Derek had stopped. When Derek pointed toward the ground Mike's heart
skipped a beat. Down on the ground was a wolf's paw print and it seemed to
be fresh. Mike quickly got up and looked away from the paw print. Mike felt
his heart beating at what must have been 100 beats per minute.

Derek quickly came over to him and wrapped his arms around them. Mike
always liked this bit because of how warm the older teen was. "Mike, I
promised you didn't I? I promised I wouldn't let anything happen didn't I?"
he asked Mike.

Mike turned to look at him and then nodded. He searched his feelings about
the paw print and wolves in general and in that instant he knew true fear.
It was that fear which would have prevented him from coming in here if he
were on his own. "Mike come on, let's go" said Derek as he led Mike away.

Mike looked as they left the part where they had seen the paw print and
they continued down the path.

About a half hour later both Mike and Derek emerged back into the clearing
where they had entered the woods. They had come out at a very different
part from where they had went in and you could almost trace a route from
where they had travelled.

"Hey guys, come on move it I'm growing old" said Dimetri as he and Bobby
approached the two other teens. Derek put up his hand and waved to them.

Mike came out looking a little more repressed than he had been before and
Bobby and Dimetri were quick to pick up on this.

"What happened in there?" asked Bobby concern on his face that was echoed
on Dimetri also but he did not say anything on it.

Derek looked back and then said "It's nothing guys, Mikey boy is just
feeling a little sick huh?".

It felt good to smile for Mike but he was not going to be quite himself
until they got away from the forest. He did not want to step foot in it for
ten years if he could help it. "Well it looks like someone didn't enjoy our
little trip into the forest!" commented Dimetri to Mike trying to wind him
up a little.

Mike smiled back to him and still smiling quite wide said "I did man, it
was fine I just felt a little sick in there. I don't think I'm used to this
like you guys are". Mike made a strange expression while looking at his
body and then said "I need to get in shape".

Derek laughed and then all four of them went and sat in the car as soon as
Derek opened it. "You just need to work out a little more. Your body isn't
overweight or anything you just don't have total muscle definition like us
bodybuilders do" he said making a muscle on his arm.

Dimetri took Mike's arm and then looked it and pretended to examine it
before saying "Yeah Mate I dunno if you would qualify for lightweight or
featherweight in boxing. Seriously have you even lifted anything other than
a book?" he asked to Mike giving him back his arm with exaggerated slowness
pretending to try to not break it.

Mike's eyes dropped and then he looked at Dimetri with fake hatred in his
eyes. In a mock tone of anger he said "I shall wake you in your nightmares
and then haunt you".

At this both Derek and Bobby began howling in laughter.

All four of them quickly finished eating and then headed back into town
back along the road they had come. The trip did not seem to have taken as
long this time but still Mike was quiet most of the way back although this
time he was sit in the back with Bobby as Dimetri took the seat up front.
He did not feel awkward with Bobby but he did not know how to talk to him
since he was the member of the trio that he did not know the most.

Instead of going back into town the four teens took the car back to Derek's
Father. His father seemed like a nice enough man from what he could see.
The two of them looked quite alike it was scary but Mike liked Derek's dad
and he even knew about Derek being gay.

>From Derek's house they made their way back to the town to have some fun.

All through the rest of the afternoon and early evening the four of them
had fun. They started at the arcade where they played a few games. They
played a few shooting games with the large gun. Mike was the best at this
with Bobby coming a close second. It made Mike think that he probably did
some shooting or did in his past.

On a dare Dimetri and Mike even did a DDR dancing game to a Lady Gaga song.
Mike did not recognize it but Mike was sure that they would not let him
live it down. Dimetri was way better than him at this though and won the
round.

When they had enough of the arcade they headed toward the mini soccer
pitches. They did two on two matches with rotation on teams. Each of the
three jocks had played before so it was a little unfair for Mike, or so he
had thought until he played. While the three jocks were all good at running
with the ball and were very coordinated, Mike was surprisingly good at
being a goalkeeper and saving goals. Derek was the only other one who did
this better than him. Mike did actually enjoy it. Perhaps he might try out
if the school had a team.

>From there at Mike's insistence they tried Mike's sport of tennis. Each of
them played two on two and every time either Bobby, Dimetri or Derek would
go with Mike they would win. They took it quite well but Dimetri could not
help utter a cry of "Shit this game is fixed" when the racket he held flew
out of his hand and nearly knocked Derek out. Derek had not been happy at
this.

>From the tennis courts the four teens made their way to a place where they
usually ate. It was a little restaurant that they had been coming to for a
little while. So much so that the employees, well most of them knew each of
them by name and thought it strange when they came in with Mike. "Yeah
Johnny the usual for the three of us, for my friend here...." said Derek as
he looked at Mike and considered him for a second as the waiter stood over
the four of them. "....What about a hamburger and fries and then we'll see
what else he can eat" said Derek to the waiter.

The waiter named Johnny looked at Mike as if gauging if or not he could eat
a meal the size of what Derek had ordered for him. "Coming right up guys,
should be about five minutes. Drinks will be out sooner though" he said as
he made his way back to the kitchen.

Mike looked about the restaurant and then took it in. It had a bright red
design around it with shades of white and black also dotted around. However
he paid it no mind. The tables and chairs looked quite comfy like you could
sit next to someone and still feel like you were all alone except with
those you chose to sit next to. Strangely he even thought that he had seen
Amanda and her family, at another table. He couldn't tell. "This is quite a
nice place. How long you guys been coming here?" asked Mike as he looked
around the three of them.

Bobby was the first to answer this one. "Well Dimetri has been coming here
for years with him living here longest. I've been coming here for about a
year and Derek.....Hmm maybe a bit longer" he said to Mike. "Its a good
place and sometimes they even have all you can eat which is good news for
guys our size" he smiled as he knew that Mike had watched them a few times.

"Yeah I know, don't remind me!" said Mike as he remembered how much they
could eat in one go. If he ate that much he wouldn't have to eat for a
month.

As Mike was lost in thought the food arrived and as Mike had known the
three jocks ordered something different each but at the same time they each
had a mountain to eat.

Once they had left the restaurant and paid the bill they each decided to go
on their way home. Bobby and Dimetri made their own ways home on account of
both of them living relatively near the town. Derek decided to take Mike
home himself. Mike did not like being babied but he appreciated it. He was
not sure but he thought that Derek understood his feelings a little better
than he himself did sometimes. He wanted to make sure that Mike would not
worry about anything they had seen today.

"Well, how was it?" asked Derek out of the blue as they walked along the
side of the road, Mike in front and Derek at the back. Derek seemed to like
looking at Mike's ass, or so he could feel at the back of his mind.

Mike turned back smiling and his face red and then said "Which part?"
sarcastically. He heard Derek start laughing out loud before he said "The
day has been great, the walk through the forest I did enjoy it even
if....well you know. When we got back to town, that was awesome and dinner.
Well let's just say I'm gonna put on a few sizes" said Mike pointing to his
stomach.

Derek pulled him back slightly and then kissed him. Mike looked out the
corner of his eye to see that nobody was looking. Mike was slightly red
though, even more so than a second ago. "You'll still look great Mikey boy
count on that. But....if it really bothers you than would you come running
with me after school tomorrow?" asked Derek.

Mike studied him for a second while he tried to decide if Derek was serious
or not. He knew that it was going to get slightly complicated since he had
promised that he would spend a bit more time with Kyle tomorrow. He hadn't
seen him all weekend and he wanted to see exactly what happened with Amanda
and her father. Maybe he could make time for both.

"I can't say for sure Derek, I wanted to speak to Kyle tomorrow after
school. It's just....well it's a long story but I'll see if I can" said
Mike thinking of a way around it still.

Derek stopped him and then said "Cool, let me know OK it would be fun to
run with someone else. Even if they can't keep up" he said as a joke toward
Mike.

At the joke Mike began to feel a little hot under the collar and then
smirked "Hey you won't be so fast when I'm not running through the forest
and I'm not sick! He announced to the jock. Mike was confident that he
could at least keep up with Derek. Well maybe as Derek looked quite fast in
the forest even with all the logs and other things in it. He would hate to
see what he would be like on open field. Maybe challenging him wasn't the
smartest thing to have done.

"Well what about my other question. You still haven't answered me that
one?" asked Derek sounding quite serious again. When Mike stared into his
brown eyes he saw something he could not identify, perhaps a longing in
them. Mike knew exactly what question he was meaning at.

Mike considered him for a very long moment, how could he say yes to Derek
and yet he had not even said yes to his dearest friend so long ago. Would
that make him a bad person. But on the other hand Kyle seemed to have no
hard feelings, in fact he seemed happier than even now with Amanda. Mike on
the other hand had no such happiness from such things these days. Maybe he
should accept.

Mike finally looked up after a solid three minutes had passed where Derek
had let him think it over without interrupting. Mike flashed a smile and
then said to Derek "Yeah Derek, I will go out with you. I know I'm probably
insane but....." he said as he seemed to be lost in his words. "....I like
you a lot you know. I know we have only known each other for a little under
a week but...." he was about to finish before Derek cut across him.

"I know Mikey boy, I feel the same way but as I said. I feel drawn to you"
he said before pulling Mike closer and kissing him again. Mike felt his
lips go warm followed by just about every other part of his body own as it
went closer to Derek's. "I wanna spend more time with you during the week
but don't worry I'm not gonna cramp your style" he said winking at him.

Mike was not sure how to take that but he didn't say a word about it. He
remembered the words echoing in his head about Derek being "drawn" to him.
He still didn't get it but it didn't bother him too much. He liked Derek as
a person and he was comfortable with him now.

Mike then nodded to Derek and then said "I will run with you for a little
while tomorrow, what time to you think" he asked the big jock as they broke
apart. Mike needed to work his day around meeting all of his friends.

"Well I usually begin right after school, if you want to then I could maybe
pull it back a bit if you want to meet your friend?" asked Derek as he
checked his watch despite it only showing the time.

Mike thought about it for a minute and then decided to run with Derek after
school. Just a little later than originally suggested. "Well what about we
run at around 5 o' clock and then we can have something to eat together?"
asked Mike to Derek.

Derek looked up to the sky pretending to think for a second before saying
"count on it" and then smiled in his usual evil looking smile. Derek
grabbed Mike again and then pulled him toward him. "You going to tell
everyone about us, or would you prefer to keep it to yourself for a while?"
he asked Mike.

Mike considered this for a second before finally making his mind up, "Yeah,
I would prefer to keep it between us as well as Dimetri and Bobby if that's
alright?" asked Mike. He was not worried about people knowing about himself
and Derek but he didn't want Kyle to find out about it just yet. On the
other hand he was a little worried about what Kyle might think, but he
needed to know.

"That's perfectly fine Mikey boy. Don't worry about it" he said as he
kissed Mike's neck again, almost making his knees buckle from under him. He
seemed to know that Mike liked this. "We should get you home Mikey boy"
said Derek as he kissed him one last time.

About ten minutes later they reached Mike's front garden where they
stopped. Derek stopped a second before Mike which in turn made Mike turn to
look back at him for a second. "You not coming in?" asked Mike to his new
boyfriend. The word still made a knot in his stomach.

Derek shook his head and then with a flash of a smile, a nice one for a
change Derek answered "Nope, not tonight Mikey boy. I got to get home and
get some things packed for tomorrow" he announced.

Mike understood perfectly what Derek meant, they were going out now but
they still needed time to themselves. Instead of saying anything in protest
Mike simply smiled back and then said "Good night my.....boyfriend" he said
still feeling a little strange saying it. Mike stepped inside the gate and
then went into the house through the front door. Mike could not resist
looking out the window at his new boyfriend. For some reason Derek was
still there looking back at him, as if he knew that Mike would look out.

After a few moments Derek turned and left from Mike's line of sight. Mike
was sure that Derek's home was not too far away and he was not worried
about him in the slightest as he was a big enough man to be able to defend
himself.

Mike's Mother and Father were both in for a change although Mike did not
talk with either of them for too long. He was too preoccupied with
everything that had happened that day. From the trip into the woods to
dinner together. It had been an amazing day, the best one Mike had in a
while.

Mike quickly got into the shower to make himself a bit more tired. It was
now around 10 o'clock and Mike needed to get some sleep for the day ahead
tomorrow. He couldn't wait to speak to Kyle about everything as well as to
spend more time with Derek. It was going to be a good day, at least he
hopes so.

The next morning Mike was up by crack of dawn. His body seemed to be more
alive with energy at the thought of going into school today, it was strange
but he didn't feel as excited last week when the semester began. He quickly
got up, got dressed and then got some breakfast.

As he sat down to make sure all his items were in his bag his Mother walked
into the kitchen and nearly had a heart attack when she noticed him.
"Michael, you're up, I didn't know it was a blue moon out there" she said
pretending to look out the window.

Mike smiled at her in a smile that Derek might have used and then finished
putting things into his bag. As he got to his feet he slung it over his
shoulder. "Well it's a school day I can't be a slacked all my life" he
shrugged his shoulder trying to get around the real reason he was up. His
mother seemed to have noticed this.

"I see, well your Father should be home tonight thank goodness. I get bored
sitting here alone when he is out and you're at school" she said absent
mindly into the air. She then came back Earth when she seen that Mike was
looking at her. She then hugged him and then said "I should probably get a
few more female friends. On the plus side you look a lot happier this week.
I'm glad" she wiped his T-shirt down to make sure there was nothing on it.

"OK thanks Mom I'm gonna get to school" he stated as he began walking out
the room. He made sure he had everything before he went his wallet, keys,
pass and his bag of course. Finally he went out the door and made his way
to school.

It was a good thing he left earlier because he had decided to walk around
the longer way to school in order to avoid going into the forest. Although
he had been in it the last weekend he was still not going in it again. He
could not stomach the fear and it clutched to him every time he thought of
it.

When Mike got in the front door he immediately looked around for Kyle. He
did not spot him at first but after a few minutes he seen him chatting with
Amanda. Both of them looked like they were having quite a deep discussion
about something. He was not close enough to them that he could hear it.
However as soon as he was close enough Kyle turned to Mike and smiled at
him. Amanda turned away from them both for a second before leaving.

At this Kyle looked a little uneasy and then whispered to Mike and said
"Don't take it personally Mikey, her father is making it hell for her and
me to be together. He.....expects certain things" he finished also looking
very uneasy. Perhaps even more so than a few moments ago.

Mike was glad to see his friend but he could not think of what to say to
make him feel better about their predicament. "Well it's good to see you.
How was your weekend?" asked Kyle to his friend.

Mike thought about what to say and how to say it, he wasn't sure about how
much to tell Kyle or even worse how to tell that he and Derek were now
going out. "Well the weekend was...different I'll say that much. You see on
Saturday Derek's friend Dimetri came down and I helped him with a few
things on the computer" he said almost taking pride in that. Mike had a bit
of an ego trip when it came to his know how on a computer.

"No way, you serious?" asked Kyle with a large grin on his face. Mike had
missed that during the weekend, he was glad to see it again. "Go on!" said
Kyle.

Mike continued with his narrative with "Yeah, it went OK I think. Then
Sunday came, they invited me down to spend Sunday with them....and I did"
he took a short pause as Kyle's face became more unbelievable. "Well on
Sunday we went for a hike on the woods, then we...." said Mike but before
he could continue Kyle interrupted him.

His face took on a look of extreme curiosity as passersby stared at him. He
usually never displayed a face like this. "The woods...the same words you
got attacked in. That's not really the smartest thing to do Mike" chastised
Kyle.

Mike was shocked that Kyle had criticized him like this in front of the
whole school. "Well....nothing happened. We just had run in it and then
came back out. We then went into town for a bit of fun like tennis and
stuff like that and then we had something to eat" finished Mike before Kyle
could butt in again. "It was actually quite fun you know. Derek and his
buddies aren't that bad. At least I don't think so" said Mike feeling
slightly sheepish.

Kyle looked at him with concern on his face at Mike but relented and then
said "Well it sounds like your weekend was better than mine" said Kyle
staring at the other teens walking by and hurrying to class. As he did Kyle
came back to his senses and then turned to Mike and then said "I'll see you
a bit later on. You can tell me about it" he asked as more of a statement
than a question.

Mike smiled to himself slightly at what Kyle had said. It sounded like his
best friend actually understood at him hanging around with the jocks and
going out with them at the weekend. He didn't think that Kyle would have
said anything too bad, he was too good a friend. He did however worry about
how he might have taken it knowing how Kyle felt about them. He had assumed
for a very long time that Derek had been the one who was bullying Mike, and
now that he knew otherwise it was going to be hard to change his view of
the jocks.

Mike went to his locker and then swiping his card in the lock system and
then got his books that he would need for the day. He silently went to
class, his thoughts set for the day. It was completely different from last
week when his mind had been all over the place.

The day went in quite fast for Mike. He aced his subjects mostly except for
PE since it happened to be dodge ball and although he was good at dodging
he was not good at actually throwing the ball. Kevin thought it might have
been funny to throw a ball at Mike's back when Mike was trying to throw a
ball and hit someone else. Mike's back hurt for a while after that.

Finally the bell rang for the end of the last period. Mike packed his books
up and packed them into his bag before heading out of the building. Mike
passed quite a few people he knew. Nobody really noticed him picked on him
either. He made his way outside and set his eyes on Kyle and Amanda. Amanda
seemed to have picked up a little since earlier.

"Hey guys, how's things going?" asked Mike as he stopped before the couple.

Kyle didn't notice Mike at first as he was busy yawning his head off that
he never even heard Mike. He put his hand away from his face and then did a
fist with Mike. "Hey Mikey, how was the day for you?" he asked Mike.

Mike went through the day in a brief description of what happened, from his
maths test to the slaughter he had at PE. It was a humbling exercise for
Mike as he knew that he was bad at dodge ball. However he was not going to
let it get in his way. He was in too good a mood for that.

"How were things for you two today" he asked both of them looking from one
to the other. Amanda was the one who answered first.

"My day was fine, the math test was easy. It was the one in chemistry that
made me stumble" said Amanda as she pulled out a book from her bag to show
Mike what she meant. Mike studied it and found why she struggled. Mike did
also. "Other than that it was fine" she said putting it back.

"Yeah ditto on that, were just waiting on Amanda's Father he is picking us
up" said Kyle. He could sense that Mike was going to ask about it and he
was correct.

"Wasn't he causing trouble for you Amanda?" asked Mike to them both waiting
for one of them to answer him. He had never actually seen Amanda's father
but he had met her Mother and she did seem like a nice enough person, if a
little scatter brained.

"Yeah....." said Amanda as she looked at the ground looking a little
subdued. She was clearly worried or upset about something.

Kyle was the one who filled in the blanks for him. They waited until most
of the people were out of ear shot before Mike heard Kyle's explanation.

"Well.....you see Amanda's parents are divorced now and her Mother has full
custody but you see her Father is a very powerful businessman and he likes
to throw his money around" he said as Mike listened quite eagerly. As they
listened Amanda put her hands on her face as Kyle put his hands around her.
"He wants to have a relationship with Amanda and normally she would have
said no....but the thing is that he could do something to her Mom and she
knows that" said Kyle.

"That's why were waiting here......I won't be able to come to see you today
man" he said as his eyes betrayed his sorry he actually was. It pained Mike
to see either of them like this as both he and Amanda had been good friends
to Mike.

"It's alright don't worry about me" said Mike as they heard a rather loud
car coming toward the school car park. They had moved there while they had
been walking. The car was a limo, the nicest one that Mike had ever seen.
Amanda and Kyle both looked annoyed, Amanda more so but they quickly were
able to hide it.

A figure got out the car as it stopped. Mike guessed that it was Amanda's
Father. The man was incredibly tall, almost 6'10. It was a wonder he could
fit in the car. He had bulging muscles that lay beneath his suit of black
that he wore. He seemed to unnerve Mike. He had piercing blue eyes and very
short black hair.

"Amanda, it's good to see that you decided to come to my house for dinner.
And Kyle, you as well this is certainly a treat" he said as he hugged
Amanda and shook Kyle's hand. Amanda looked annoyed when he could not see
her face but when they were face to face she remained impassive as normal.
Kyle smiled a little if only to be polite to her Father.

When he nudged both of them into the limo he set his eyes on Mike. Mike did
not know what to say but was about to walk home to get away from the man.
"What's your name son?" asked the man.

Mike turned back to him as a chill crept up his spine. He extended a hand
as the man did the same and then said "I'm Michael, or Mike for short" he
replied to the man's question. It was more out of fear than anything as the
man could more than likely crush him like a grape.

The man's grip was tight but not so much so that it would crush his hand.
The one thing that Mike noticed was that the man's hand was cool to the
touch. "Your Amanda and Kyle's friend Mike, it's good to meet you in
person. Amanda talks about how you help her through Biology all the time"
he said as he let go of Mike's hand. "I'm Giovanni Granger, Amanda's
Father. It's good to meet you and I look forward to seeing you around" he
said as he turned to leave and then gave Mike a rather creepy looking
smile.

Mike simply put his hand up to say goodbye and then said to himself "Good
meeting you too!" and then turned to leave as the limo roared to life. It
appeared that once again he would not be able to speak to Kyle. The man
seemed nice enough but he knew never to judge something by appearance. How
could Amanda be so nice having been Mr. Granger's Daughter.

On the way home Mike looked at the path the whole way. He did not go
through the forest for fear of running into any of the wolves again. As
much as he liked the silver wolf and as much as he admired the one that had
saved him the last time, his common sense was now his ruling factor and he
was not going to go anywhere near the forest as long as he lived.

Where the fuck could the wolves have come from, the three of them. They did
not live there long. Someone would have spotted them by now and captured
them, or there would have been more attacks or deaths like his but when he
had checked the newspaper it had not said anything. He was at a standstill
for information.

Mike finally got home and once again found his house empty again. He
wondered if his Mother was at work or simply out getting some shopping. It
did not matter too much he was going out running with Derek today. He
wondered how that would go, he could not wait to see Derek in his running
gear. The guy was hot as fuck most times and this would be even hotter.

Mike grabbed his running pants and then got into another T-Shirt and then
went down the stairs to grab his running shoes. The weather was quite right
for running, sunny but with a bit of a breeze. Mike quickly grabbed a
bottle of water out of the fridge and then took a large gulp of it.

While Mike was taking a drink he heard a knock at the door that made him
almost swallow the whole bottle. He quickly coughed a few times and then
put the bottle on the table before going sitting heading to the door.

When he opened it his heart skipped a beat and he beheld Derek. Derek was
wearing a pair of white shorts that showed off his package very nicely to
those who knew where to look. He was wearing a black rock T-Shirt with a
man with his two middle fingers up and thumbs up on the other hand. He
looked hot to Mike.

"Umm.....Hey" was all that Mike could mutter when he checked his
new....boyfriend over. That word was still hard to get used to.

"Hey Mikey boy, you gonna invite me in or am I going to have to kiss you
for it?" he asked to Mike. Mike was knocked back to reality by this but
gestured with his hand that Derek should go past him into the house.

When they were inside Mike closed the door and then the moment he turned
around Derek had him in his arms and was pinning him against his body. In
an instant Mike felt his mouth getting invaded by Derek's tongue and as
usual he was powerless to resist. Mike tried to fight back against it but
he was too small for that. He just went along for the ride and enjoyed it
as best he could.

Derek finally broke the kiss and walked a few steps away from Mike looking
a little sheepish with himself as he did his almost signature evil smile.
"Sorry Mikey.....you....you make me lose control" he said with a smile to
Mike.

Mike smiled back and then said "If your body is as hot as that all the time
then your forgiven" he finished. Mike went up to Derek and they kissed a
little more gentle that Derek would have liked for a minute or so. Mike
listened to anyone coming in. This was the last thing that he wanted his
Mother or Father to see.

Mike and Derek stopped kissing and Mike noticed what Derek was wearing.
"Well you look good in those clothes, they suit you more than your usual
pants do, the ones you were to school" he said to Derek. He did not mean
this as a flirty remark but like with half the things that Mike said Derek
took them like that.

"Sorry no can do Mike boy. I can't wear this shit all the time else I
would" he said as he winked at Mike. Mike felt himself getting hot slightly
in his cheeks. Mike offered Derek a bottle of water from the fridge and
when Derek took it both of them went out the door and off to start their
run.

As they walked to where they would begin Mike asked "So, how often do you
run and where do you go?". He was more curious than anything but he did
want to know where they would be running to and how often they might be
doing it.

"Well I like to run once, maybe twice a week. Time permitting of course but
sometimes football or basketball call me away" he said as he took another
sip of his water bottle. "I usually start near the school football fields
and then end at my house on the other side of the forest. Is that OK with
you Mikey?" he asked Mike. Mike knew why he was asking but in truth Mike
felt safe with Derek and he knew that Derek would help him overcome his
fears, if he had the courage to do so himself.

Mike thought about it for a good minute before answering and Derek gave him
the time to consider it. "Mikey, I won't force you to come into the forest
but believe me nothing will get you. Not any wild animals and not these
wolves you keep talking about" he said. He did not mock Mike but he
confidence seemed to roll over into Mike as he said it.

Mike thought for a minute more and then finally came to a choice. "Alright
then I'll run with you the full way" he made up his mind, and in doing so
he breathed a sigh of relief.

Derek let out a small breath as well and then smiled at Mike before saying
"Thanks Mikey, I'll make it worth your while tonight wait and see" he said.

At this both he and Mike began running toward the fields in the school. At
first it was a gentle run, nothing more than a simple jog. However this did
not last as they both started getting faster, starting with Derek and
following suit with Mike and then both of them were running at full speed.
This meant for Mike being tired again before long. Derek was off like a
train with his stamina and speed. It was like watching poetry in motion for
Mike watching his boyfriend run.

Finally both of them arrived at the school and then sat down for a few
minutes to regain their strength. Mike felt like he had already ran a
marathon and they still actually had to run. "Wow, how do you do this all
the time?" asked Mike as he drunk from his bottle.

Derek didn't answer at first but seemed to be finding a way to dodge the
question. However in the end he simply said "I'm just more naturally fit
than you are Mikey. Don't take that personally that's just how it is. You
spend more time studying and shit and your smarter than me because of it"
he said as he pondered something. "What's the square root of 400 huh?" he
asked Mike.

Mike immediately responded with "20" without even thinking and when he did
answer he thought about what Derek had said and realised that it was true.
"I see what you mean" he said before looking at a small rock he had found
on the ground. "That doesn't mean I'm not going to try and get more stamina
and get more fit" he said as he got off the ground and demanded to Derek
"Come on my lady, let's start this run and I'll kick your ass".

Derek seemed to like this spark of competition from Mike and then said
"Your on, little man, I'll leave you sitting on a rock twiddling your
thumbs".

Mike stood up and then said "Let's move then" and with that both of them
went running.

As they ran for about ten minutes both of them were panting slightly, Mike
more so than Derek. They ran through town from the school until they
arrived at the forest again. This time it was a different part than Mike
would normally go into. Mike could not help but silently hope that nothing
would go wrong today. He wanted a normal day with his boyfriend.

As they went further and further in Mike smelled the difference in the air,
it was almost like a different world in here with the lighting, the smells
and the sounds. Mike liked it, it felt refreshing.

They ran for over a half hour until they began to slow down. In that time
Mike had began to get a sore stomach. At first he thought it might have
been a stitch but as the pain spread to one of his arms and then began to
give him a sore head he knew that something more must be wrong. Maybe he
was coming down with a fever. It happened the other day also but had been
gone by night time.

"You OK Mikey boy you don't look so good?" said Derek as they sat down on a
small pile of rocks in the clearing.  He was now concerned about it.
Perhaps Mike was allergic to something in the forest or perhaps he was
coming down with something. "I'm sorry man, I wouldn't have brought you out
if I had known you were sick" said Derek roughly.

Mike laughed a little and then said "It's strange, I felt fine until we
came in here. I think there is something wrong with me but it's not your
fault" he said as he got to his feet. Slowly he gestured to Derek and they
began walking back toward Mike's house in order to get Mike to lie down for
a while.

Both of them walked for a couple of minutes with Mike occasionally being
supported by Derek but mostly walking by himself. He looked a little red
and was a little sweaty but he was breathing just fine now. Derek still
took it quite serious though as any boyfriend would.

Mike stopped for a second to tie his shoe laces which had come undone.
However as he got up for a second and looked at Derek. Derek himself was
looking around with an angry scowl on his face which meant that something
was wrong. "Derek, what's wrong with you. You look like you seen......" he
was interrupted as Derek covered his mouth and then continued looking
around.

Finally he turned to a specific spot in the trees and then began walking
backwards with Mike as he grabbed his hand. Mike began to feel very afraid
as he knew what was going to come out.

As Mike predicted something did come out of the woods. Like a black shadow
coming from the dark, the black wolf that he hated and feared came before
them. Mike's heart must have stopped beating because he could not feel it
anymore. "God, no....." he said as he and Derek continued backing away.

As they did the roaring sound got louder as the paw prints of the wolf got
closer to them. It was obvious what the wolf wanted to do to Mike, but what
would it do to Derek. Would it rape him or simply kill him. He did not know
but he didn't want to see it. "Run Derek, it doesn't want you. It wants me.
If it does maybe you can escape" said Mike to Derek, whispering. Although
it was obvious from its snarl that the wolf could still hear them.

"No way Mikey, your my boyfriend and I'll defend you to my dying breath"
said Derek through clenched teeth and a snarl that could unnerve a bull.
Derek let Mike's hand go and then nudged him backwards. Mike did not know
what to do now. Derek was going to get himself killed. "Noooo....Derek
don't" he said as he was about to grab his boyfriend's arm. However as he
did Derek threw him back, a little less gentle than he might have meant but
Mike nearly shit himself when he seen Derek's eyes.

As he turned they had turned from his nice usual brown eyes to turn to a
glowing blue color. What the fuck. As Derek was about ten feet from the
wolf he said "You are going to pay for fucking with my boyfriend and when
I'm done with you I'll kill you" he said making the threat very clear.

Mike backed away even more from the two of them. The Black wolf did not
look intimidated but paid more attention to Derek now. Mike could still
hear a clear low growl in the black wolf's chest.

Derek began to shake a little, his whole body seemed to tremble as if in
response to something. When Mike squinted his eyes as he seen that hair was
beginning to grow on Derek's body. Every part of his body began to grow a
gray looking silver hair. Mike's eyes widened at this but that was not the
strangest part of what was happening.

Derek's body began to also change shape. He started by going onto his hands
and knees, his mouth grew outward and began to reveal two lines of sharp
pointed teeth that were snow white in color. His ears drew back slightly
until they were absolutely pointed in design. His arms and legs quickly
turned into a different shape, and his hands and feet turned into paws. The
paws were massive to Mike. Almost as large as his hands.

Derek also grew a fail from the back of his pelvis region. The tail was
long and furry just like the rest of his body.

Derek had become a wolf, a real living wolf. Mike's breathing became
erratic as Mike took two large breaths. He did not know what he was seeing.
Derek was the silver wolf, his silver wolf.

Mike felt behind him so that he could move away very slowly. He knew that a
fight was coming and he wanted no part of it. He felt himself go back a few
steps but as two large growls echoed through the forest he stopped and had
to turn and look.

Derek, as he knew it was now leapt off the mark and quickly took a bite out
of the large wolf. The other wolf whined slightly but then bit into Derek's
neck. The black wolf must have had the stronger bite as Derek let go and
whined now and then leapt back slightly.

Both wolves circled very slightly and continued growling, making their
stances very much known.

Mike used this time to get behind a tree, not that it would protect him but
he was not going to make himself so obvious to either of the....wolves he
wondered if that was the right word.

The black wolf now took a bite toward Derek and as Derek tried to get out
the way his hind leg was caught in the monster wolf's bite. The wolf lifted
Derek from the ground and then hurled him into a tree. It was hard for Mike
to watch, as Derek was heavy enough. He did not know how the creature did
it.

Derek got up but Mike could see a bit of blood on his back through his
usually silver skin. He looked at the tree and seen a bit of large wood
sticking out. It had obviously impaled him slightly.

He did not however back down and got in front of Mike to protect him. Was
Derek still in there, or was he an animal now. The black wolf charged
toward Derek but Derek was faster this time and leapt out the way before
grabbing the black wolf by the tail and sending him sprawling into the dirt
on the ground. He could see brown on the wolf's black coat but it was less
obvious.

The black wolf got up and snarled at Derek. Derek replied in kind with a
larger snarl which seemed to shake the black wolf a little. However it also
did something else as well.

The black wolf focused it's gaze, not in Derek in his wolf self but on
Mike.

Derek seemed to notice this also but he was not fast enough. The black wolf
had leapt toward Mike and was intending on ripping his throat out for even
being in the area.

This was something that Derek was not going to allow. Derek ran as fast as
he could and jumped in between his boyfriend and wolf rival and took the
large teeth meant for Mike's human skin.

The sickening crunch that could be heard from Derek's stomach was
unsettling. It went by so fast that Mike did not have time to even see it
fully. The black wolf had jumped for him and Derek had intercepted it and
instead got his stomach torn slightly. When Derek landed he looked in bad
shape. He was bleeding much heavier now and was breathing quite heavy.

The wolf now growling in his chest again slowly approached Mike and Derek.
Mike went between the two wolves and was determined to protect his helpless
boyfriend. Derek had tried to save him and now he was hurt because of it.
If he did not get medical help he was going to die.

The wolf did not look concerned by Mike, on the contrary he looked smug in
his wolfish features. Mike wanted to punch him in the face but thought
better of it.

The snarling seemed to be getting louder as the wolf stopped advancing
toward the two of them and the black wolf looked around. It finally settled
on Mike again, or so he thought. It was actually looking behind both of
them at something in the forest.

Two distinct sets of growling could be heard behind Mike and Derek. He also
began to hear footsteps coming toward them from the other direction.

When the footsteps came close enough Mike finally set eyes on what was
making them. When he beheld what it was Mike's heart nearly stopped
beating.

The other black wolf's growls intensified at the new arrivals. Coming
toward them was two new wolves.

Mike was familiar with the first one that was coming. He had met it in the
forest when he had been attacked for the second time by the black wolf. It
was the dark brown wolf that he had met before with the green eyes. It was
much smaller than its companion that had came with it.

The forth wolf in the area was much bigger than the other one and a little
bigger than Derek. It was nearly the size of the black one. It had a very
dark gray fur to it which was a little shaggier than Derek or the other
one. It had gleaming white teeth like most of the others though with a
larger muzzle. It also had chocolate brown eyes as well as a white mark on
his forehead.

Mike was not sure if the wolves were male or female but they seemed to be
aggressive toward the black wolf.

The black wolf looked a little uneasy now following the arrival of the two
new wolves. It had lost to one of them before and facing two was clearly
not on the agenda. It soon began to back off slightly a bit at a time.

The wolf eventually snarled slightly and then turned and ran into the
forest. It might not have been able to face three wolves but it seemed to
have done enough damage to Derek.

Mike took his eyes off the fight as his heart finally stopped hammering
like a jackhammer. He concentrated his attention on Derek who was breathing
a little more normal now.

When he focused on him he noticed that while the blood mark on his fur
remained he no longer bore any signs of the wound that had inflicted him a
few minutes ago. As for the mark on his stomach some blood remained from it
but the mark had already closed and was healing nicely. It looked like the
scar covering it was days, almost a few weeks old.

Mike could not believe what he was seeing. Derek seemed to have healed
faster than anything he had ever seen. What was going on?

Derek got up and then stood up to his full height. He seemed to be alright
now from what Mike could tell.

He raised his muzzle and then began to sniff Mike a little, he sniffed his
neck and his head and some of his body before Mike pushed him away with his
hand rather viciously. It was that fast that Derek growled very slightly.
Not in an angry way but in a more pissed off manner.

"Derek......I.....what are you?" he asked as fear began to grip at him
again. Fear from the attack, fear of what he had now seen and fear of what
it meant. His boyfriend was a wolf.

Mike turned and began to run back to the town or the school. He did not
care which but he was not going to stay in the forest anymore and he would
be damned if he was ever going to go into the forest again. This time he
had seen too much. This time he had seen something he knew he was not meant
to see. Something that nobody was meant to see.

His boyfriend, Derek Bradshaw was a wolf shape shifter.
