#1 of FMoS

My first story submission. Based in the same universe as the Webcomic 'Peter is the Wolf' but set apart and using none of the original IPs characters. Its a little conversational, thats a fault im gonna have to work on but all feedback is welcome. Also, though i'm not expecting any, any doodles of the chars, or your take on them would also be greatly appreciated. I'm not an artist and while writing these guys i would kinda like to see them. Maybe a commission down the line.


Part 1

The sun was starting to set across the treetops, casting long shadows on the sleepy little town of Hunts End below. The story goes that it got its name when the first settlers had discovered this river clearing in the dense forest a couple hundred years ago and decided to make their home here. Even to this day the forest stretched for miles in all directions. Barely a dozen roads now stretched across that clearing, only slightly expanding beyond its original border and although it had nothing much more beyond a few basic amenities, plumbing and power etc, it did boast a modest schoolhouse, its own medical practice and pretty much anything required to spend your whole life in this idyllic little town and never have to leave. Though somewhat isolated it wasn't so remote that it had been left behind by the modern age either though the only reminder of the outside world was the lone road, most frequently travelled by the weekly delivery trucks that stocked the stores.

A single figure sat on an overlooking hill watching the shadows inch across the rooftops, moving slowly towards him. "Probably another 2 hours till dark" he mused to no-one in particular, laying back and looking up at the stars beginning to become visible through the ruddy light.

As he lay there he thought he heard something off in the bushes to his left, a soft rustling but it stopped as soon as it started and nothing followed it. "Probably just a raccoon" he shrugged.

A pair of piercing yellow eyes watched him from those bushes, pleased its momentary lapse hadn't cost it this hunt. Lips peeled back on a short snout, a predatory grin revealing a mouth full of large, sharp teeth clenched in anticipation and muscles like steel cable tightened in preparation. It watched as its prey make the fatal mistake of dismissing the potential for danger, laying back on the grassy hill, waiting for that split second when its eyes glanced away, then the prey would be... laughing?

"I know its you Reyna!" he shouted rolling over onto his stomach and the bushes erupted as a lithe yet powerful form reared up to its full height. A statuesque body, well muscled but obviously feminine, covered in deep red fur where it wasn't covered by tight sweatpants and a t-shirt stretched across obviously large yet firm breasts. A mane of long red hair cascaded down from the top of her head to form a ponytail draped across one shoulder as she raised up on long, lithe legs . She was a perfectly built hunting machine, Lupus-Sapien to those of a scientific mind, to the layman, Werewolf. Those yellow eyes glared for a moment, the teeth still clenched and then her mood broke, she couldn't hold it any more and she pouted.

"Dammit Ezra, you could have at least pretended like you didn't know I was there!" she complained as she stalked over to him.

"I almost didn't" he said, "you only just gave yourself away. What did you do?" he asked rolling back over to look at her better. "When the bushes shook, did you trip or was there something else in there?"

"I never trip!" she said placing her foot on his chest and leaning her weight playfully on him "I was just too focused on my prey." Smoothly she dropped herself down to straddle him, snout to nose, pressing into him with her impressive chest before the weight started to ease and he felt her begin to change, moving into her human form. Snout and fangs became slightly pouty lips and perfect nose, her fur vanished, almost 'ungrowing' if that was possibly a thing, leaving only the red hair and ponytail on her head framing her face and although her body had shrunk the athletic musculature remained, now more defined now that the fur wasn't hiding it. Her once tight clothing now hung loose and baggy on her. He had to admit, she pulled off either look with ease.

"A wet dream in almost human form" he said staring into her eyes.

She smiled and gave him a playful tap in the ribs before leaning up and kissing his forehead. She lowered her face, her lips trailing down his nose a moment, hesitating as if she was about to take a great risk before she raised up, careful not to get too close to his mouth. "Why did you have to be human?" she growled in frustration. A question she had asked many times.

It was a good question. The founders of Hunts End carried with them a secret all those centuries ago. Every one of them, to a man, was a Werewolf. Not like the creatures depicted in the movies, those were... something else, but a humanoid race, evolved from Canines with a survival mechanism that let them shift their forms to disguise themselves as humans. Ezra was, for reasons unknown to him, the only Human in town, not only allowed to live here but for most intents and purposes, considered part of the pack save for very certain circumstances. The only information he had really been told is that he was found in the woods as a baby. No-one knew what had happened to his parents, only that he had been a very lucky child. Not only had it not been one of the local bears that had found him, but of the couple hundred members of Hunts Ends population, it had been the Alpha, Alexandria that had found him. She took the boy in and despite arguments from her pack she decided to raise him as her own along with the help of her older daughter Annabel. This was the only life Ezra had known and though he knew his physical differences limited him, he was still happy here.

He would be lying though if he'd said it hadn't become more difficult, especially in recent years. The friends he had grown up with treated him like any other member of the pack and when all your friends are super athletic Wolf creatures keeping up with them leaves you as a pretty fine specimen of a human, but Weres were also a very sexual species and as they grew through their teens he noticed a change in his friends. The females became increasingly flirtatious, almost to the point of competition and the males would rise to meet them, some becoming more boisterous, if not downright aggressive. Ezra had begun to feel the urges and drives that become apparent in every young person himself, but his friends seemed to be feeling something magnified and every night out, day trip or casual meetup would eventually turn to sex. His adoptive sister, Annabel, who by this time had ascended to Pack Alpha herself after Alexandria had retired and left the town had laid down the law, as was her right. Ezra was off limits, punishable by expulsion from the town. Slowly but surely, as the promiscuity reached a point not seen since a 70's porno set, the girls gradually lost interest in him. Its not that they didn't like him, but if they couldn't play with him they may as well go play with someone who could, and the boys inevitably followed the girls.

After a blazing row with Annabel that ended with her foot on his throat Ezra had learned a couple of things, not least of which that you should never challenge an Alpha unless you have a chance of winning, especially if she's your big sister. The other was that humans could be infected with a virus born of Werewolf DNA, themselves becoming a Were in all but breeding. Ezra had almost immediately volunteered, tired of being an odd one out despite the acceptance he had been shown but Annabel refused, explaining that physically he might get what he wanted, but the mind was a different matter. It was the one thing that the movies had gotten right. Men transformed in this way commonly became raging, mindless, uncontrollable beasts, tearing apart anything in their path. Despite the slim chance for success this was something his Sister couldn't allow him to do because she simply couldn't bear to think she might have to kill him.

Young Weres are taught from an early age to never fight, even in play, with tooth or claw so the elders weren't too concerned about him being bitten though just to be sure he had been watched, almost from the time he could walk to minimise the risk. Unfortunately the infection can pass through other means that became a more pressing risk as he got older..

Reyna sat up on him, not so subtly grinding her butt into his groin and pushing an imaginary pair of glasses up the bridge of her nose. "Any large scale fluid transfers involving soft mucous membranes or orifices from Were to Human are strictly forbidden" she sighed before shouting "BUT THEY'RE ALL THE FUN ONES!!!"

The only one that had stayed close to him was Reyna. They had been close friends since childhood. Most of the lessons he had learned about what a were could do came from her and although she had still developed the same urges and indeed, played the same 'games' with the other males, she made sure to still make time for him, doing her best to restrain herself and not remind him what he was missing out on though there was a limit. She was only almost-human after all.

She let out a deep sigh, closed her eyes and the grinding switched to a more deliberate motion. Her butt slid back as she rolled her hips and Ezra felt an intense warmth over his groin as Reyna started to move slowly, humping his growing erection through his pants.

"Reyna?" he asked with caution as the females sometimes forgot themselves when their libido took over.

"Just... let me enjoy this for a second," she panted "I know where the line is".

She continued for a moment, grinding down to feel as much as she could. For his part he admired her incredible body, it was all he could do not to reach up to her but the last thing he could risk was further encouragement. His balls had no such reservations however and he was caught by surprise when he felt them begin to throb and he grunted in appreciation of her efforts. Reyna's eyes snapped open as she heard him, looking at him with a smile on her face and she slid off to one side, reaching for his pants as she did and pulling them open.

"Whoa, Reyna wait..." he tried to reach down but she shifted back to her wolf form. Her increased weight and strength easily holding him back.

"Its ok im in control but just because its dangerous to get my juices near you, there's nothing stopping me from getting yours!"

Her hand reached down, closing around Ezra's exposed cock, stroking it expertly. They had done this before once or twice but never with this urgency and never out in the open. As her other hand moved down between her own legs, to reach under the waistline of her pants he noticed her pause, then begin to rub herself through the material instead of covering her hand in her own juices this close to him. At that point he knew she was in control. He always trusted her, but he couldn't help be concerned though once he relaxed a more pressing concern was her effect on him and it wasn't long before he blew the first of his considerable load, shooting high and she caught it in her eager maw. She was careful to not let her mouth get too close to his cock but she squeezed hard, milking out all she could into her hands and licking it up greedily. "Wow, its been a while, hasn't it. You've been saving up!" she groaned, tasting him. She looked up for a response but his head was rolled back as his hips jerked the last few drops loose.

"Delicious" she cooed as his body went limp, licking her fingers as she law down beside him, running her hand back down his chest, all the way to gently massage his drained balls. She looked directly into his eyes with those piercing golden orbs, fixing him with a stare and giving his softening cock a knowing squeeze "God i wish i could taste the rest of you!"

She grinned snuggling into him despite the fact she was marginally larger than him in this form. "Maybe i should just do it" she said, and he rolled his eyes at the old tease. "Just one little nibble, or maybe i do it the fun way with you balls deep inside me? I wouldn't mind a wild, raging beast if his cock was pounding me" she grinned. The smile in her eyes letting him know she would never betray the trust he had for her.

"I think Annabel might object, you should ask her" he smiled, returning a kiss to the top of her head and they laughed as they watched the sunset together.

After about a half hour of just laying with each other she began to stir again. It was the full moon tonight and although Were's could control their form at will, it was much more difficult during the full moon. It also made them restless and as he had just witnessed, incredibly horny. It was the towns tradition to hold a monthly gathering on the night of the full moon. A back to nature kind of festival where they would go into the woods and shed the human disguise completely. Obeying only the law of the pack and the wild. It was an important pack bonding event, and one that stung at Ezra as he wasn't permitted to attend.

A gathering was always one heated exchange away from a brawl or an orgy and Ezra couldn't afford to get caught up in either. It would also be too easy an opportunity for any resentment towards the humans to be taken out on him. He was pissed to be missing out, but he understood the logic that staying away was simply for the greater good. Still it gnawed at him that tonight, just like the many nights before it, it would be down to one,or more than likely many of the other guys to do for Reyna what she had just done for him.

Reyna seemed to sense his thoughts and kissed his temple. She was still in her wolf form and he always enjoyed the contrasting stimulation between her human lips and the wider, but no less soft Wolf lips.

"Its not jealousy that someone else will..." he began an explanation she had heard before but still sympathised with. "I know you're not mine or anything, its just jealousy that I cant at all!"

"I know" she smiled. "Its the same for us girls too, I know there's at least 8 other girls that would be second in line to jump your cock if they could."

"Of course they would..." he said almost dismissively, "...I've got a cock they're not allowed to have." He paused a moment, "Wait, don't you mean 'first in line?'" he asked thinking about her turn of phrase before she mounted across his chest again, this time letting her enlarged bust press against him and pulling his head up by his scruffy brown hair to press forehead to forehead, still staring meaningfully into his eyes. "No..." she growled, "I mean second." and she kissed his forehead once more before standing and stretching.

"You know next month is the first Moon of Spring" he said, reluctant to bring up the subject but it was coming close now and her shoulders slumped. This towns society was more matriarchal than others and a long standing tradition they held was something called the claiming. It was the reason that the females were so aggressively sexual. When Ezra compared their flirting to a challenge it wasn't far from the truth. Those years were spent sizing up males, seeing how they responded and on the first moon of spring of their 23rd year, they were to pick out a potential mate to claim as her own with the intention of starting a family. Forsaking all others, and Ezra wasn't on the list.

Reyna had never said anything to anyone, but as soon as she had learned of the claiming, she had always hoped Ezra would turn out to be a worthy mate. Despite the physical differences she did genuinely like him. Once he was made forbidden she had spent the next 5 years trying to come to terms that her life plans had been forced to change. There were other good males to pick, but she had set her heart and it fought the decision. Ezra had once asked her if the 'sex' they had was just her way of making him feel better, nothing more than pity and she had felt genuinely hurt at the comment. it was the first time she had even considered sex as anything more than fun, seeing a deeper meaning with him. After the claiming, whoever she chose, it broke her heart to think she might have to leave him behind.

"That's next month" she sighed, "Just let me enjoy this month for now Ok, I don't wanna think about it." She put a smile back on her face as she turned back around "So what are you going to be doing tonight?" she asked.

"I dunno, watch a movie, Ill listen out for you, then maybe an early night, try not think about all the fun I'm missing out on?"

"I could send you some pictures" she teased fishing her phone out of her pocket. "Celeste gives amazing head and she tells me all the time that she wants to swallow you."

"Firstly, you know you can't take pictures of yourselves when you're fuzzy, and secondly, that's like sending pictures of a buffet to a starving man..." he smiled "man you're sadistic"

"Well it is all you can eat" she licked her lips at him.

"FUCK... if you're going please, just go before you give me another boner" he laughed and she hugged him once more, again kissing him as hard as she could on the side of the face and hugged him, holding on a little harder than she had intended but her mind was still on the Claiming. She cupped his balls over his pants one last time, giving them one last firm squeeze and felt him respond. "Too late" she whispered then bounded off into the forest.


He arrived home just a little before night had fully set and was surprised to find Annabel, his older sister, town mayor and pack Alpha waiting for him.

"I would have thought you would have been at the gathering by now" he said throwing his jacket over the back of a chair.

"I'm going up in a moment I just wanted to check in before I did. I always feel kinda bad leaving you in town all by yourself."

"Its cool" he lied, "I know my place here." He truly didn't resent his life, he was happy but he couldn't help raging against the unfairness of it all and as Alpha he couldn't help but see Annabel as the figurehead of a life denied to him.

"Ez, don't be like that, c'mon its been like this since forever but lately you're getting more and more moody, can you at least talk to me? As your family?"

"Adopted family" he corrected but immediately regretted it, continuing before she could respond. "I'm sorry, its the gathering, its the reminder that I'm not like everyone else here and on top of that next month is..."

"The Claiming? That's what this is about?" she said almost dismissively.

"What do you mean, 'is that all?'" he questioned. "In the eyes of the pack I'm still a kid, finding my place. That's SUPPOSED to change next month but I already know whats going to happen. I'm off the table right? Next month the girls make their picks and I get cast aside without even the dignity of being able to stand at the ceremony."

"Ezra, you asked me to make the declaration that you weren't permitted at the gathering, you understand the risks, you told me that when you decided not to go with Mom. There are too many in the pack that still think you should have gone with her so you could be out there with..."

He shot her a look that begged her not to finish that sentence.

"...with your own kind" she finished.

"My kind are here. Just because I'm physically human we both know I'm not cut out to be out there, I follow the packs rules, out there id end up locked away or worse."

She hugged him, not wanting the 'your kind' comment to linger. "You know its the 'worse' part I'm worried about here too. When Mom took you in there were doubters. Some said you should have been on the first delivery truck out of town but Mom was the Alpha, her word was law and no-one challenged. Some suggested turning you even back then. Maybe as a small, controllable pup we could do something about the feral nature but it was still deemed too dangerous. When you reached sexual age it was discussed again, knowing you'd be hit with all this temptation. Fuck, I considered turning you myself a couple of times after seeing how miserable you got with the others off doing their thing but each time i held back, knowing that it would hurt you more than help. Reyna even came to me and begged me to look into options, maybe talk with other communities to see if there was something we didn't know about. At the time I chalked that one off to her hormones kicking in and being denied a piece of meat but its pretty clearthat one definitely cares a lot about you."

"I know" he said sadly.

"Speaking of which" Annabel said with a sigh, her voice now harder. "I know about the hand-jobs". She didn't release the hug on her little brother, but instead tightening with veiled intent and Ezra went white as a ghost. "You knew?" he choked out as her embrace changed into a bear-hug. She hadn't even changed but her strength had always been formidable.

"I'm Pack Alpha, Town Mayor and most importantly, your Big Sister. There's not a damn thing in this town you could hide from me! You're lucky I didn't rip your head off but you have a brother in law to thank for that. Greg convinced me to hold off. The deed was done, if you were going to turn it was already too late and if you didn't then I couldn't blame you for at least having some enjoyment."

"Please don't be hard on Reyna" he pleaded knowing that she was in for a chewing out too.

"It was a stupid risk to take" Annabel said finally relaxing her grip and moving for the door. "I just don't want anything bad to happen to you" the Alpha had gone and Ezra found himself talking to his sister again. "Regardless of what anyone says, you are my family and I will see you in the morning."

"Have fun" Ezra said weakly.


"Here she is! Up on Pride Rock" called out a boisterous voice from inside the woods. Reyna rolled her eyes as Cliff, Celeste and what smelled like Shauna emerged from the tree-line.

Reyna had found this place a few gatherings back. A boulder on the edge of the hill that led back down to the town, far enough from the trail to avoid notice when you didn't want to be found, unless of course you had an enhanced sense of smell. She liked it there, it was mostly peaceful and have a great view over the whole town and surrounding forest. She could see the hill on the other side of town where she had been with Ezra, she could see her own house and the school and currently she was looking at the centre of town. With the entire population out here it was in complete darkness until a sole light flicked on. One window among hundreds illuminated. She couldn't help but think it seemed isolated.

"Awww she's pining over her monkey" Cliff scoffed as he saw what she was looking at and Reyna rounded on him faster than he could react.

"Call him that again and I swear to god I will shave you bald. See if you laugh when he has more hair than you!"

"Fur" Cliff sneered and corrected her. "I have fur, he doesn't, that's kinda the problem. Look chill out, I'm only teasing. Ezra is my friend too but it is what it is. Not anyone s fault, just nature."

A look of disgust flashed across Reyna's face at Cliff claiming to be any friend to Ezra. Cliff had always been a hanger on. Part of the group by default but few would admit they actually 'liked him'. His family had a reputation for being unpleasant, even to each other, but Cliff exuded a kind of sickly arrogance that put Reyna off. So much so that Reyna had only ever screwed him once over the years and only because he had a pretty fat cock that at the time she felt like she wanted to try out. She had to admit, the cock was good, but she couldn't stomach what came attached to it. Reyna suspected he resented the fact that she had never wanted a second turn after that and he often chose Ezra as the target for his outbursts, thinking the weak little human couldn't do anything about it.

"Hey you know..." Cliff continued, "I never really considered it before but do you think he's like, the only Virgin over 20 the towns ever had?"

"Cliff, can you go back and give us girls chance to talk?" Shauna asked sharply, but kept a sweetness in her tone. "Tell you what, Ill see to you first tonight if you do."

"...and Reyna might castrate you if you don't" added Celeste.

Cliff was already at the tree-line in the time it took Reyna to turn her head back from thanking Shauna for getting rid of him. "Males are so easily led." Shauna bragged. "That one will do anything for this ass."

"So I'm going to go out on a limb here.." said Celeste sitting down where Reyna had been and pointed towards the lone light "and I'm kinda thinking you're mind is on something. Maybe something coming up in say a months time?"

"Wait.." said Shauna putting two and two together. It took her a moment, but he eyes went wide when it clicked, "...are you thinking about trying to Claim Ezra?"

"No!" Reyna blurted then immediately felt guilty for saying it so quickly. "I, I wanted to." she began. "I mean, years ago, even when we were kids and I first learned what the claiming was. I didn't care about the differences, I figured it would just work itself out..."

"Reyna, that's out of the question now." Shauna said as Reyna joined Celeste back on the rock. Reyna shot a 'no shit' look back at Shauna in the process. "I mean, even if you were cool with never being able to mate him, or even having kids, the Alpha has forbade him."

"She's forbade anyone fucking him" she corrected. "She doesn't want anyone infecting him but she's also his sister, surely she doesn't want to see him alone?"

"Have you asked him?" Celeste asked, leaning over and once again pointing at the light. "...just because you claim him, he might not want you to." Reyna looked at her, a look of worry on her face and Celeste quickly corrected herself. "Not like that, he definitely WANTS you to, anyone with eyes can tell that. Fuck, there was one time we were all hanging out, I caught him looking at you and could just smell his precum." Celeste licked her lips "You remember that night at Max's place, i suddenly took Chester outside?" Reyna nodded, remembering the party. She even remembered the moment. Ezra had been staring at her ass. He didn't know but she had seen him in a mirror so he didn't realise the slow sway and the way she stuck her ass out was for him. At least according to Celeste it got the desired effect.

"I Swallowed Chester to the root in one go just to take my mind off that forbidden meat, that's why i had to take it outside, normally i'd have just done it there and then!" Celeste finished her daydream. "My point is, I've seen how he is around you. There's no way he lets you give up your chance of a family for him. The last thing he wants is to be a burden to you."

Reyna growled in frustration. "Its not fucking fair. Everything about this isn't fair. I mean shit, just look at him next to the other guys in their human forms!"

"Well its to be expected he would at least be the best human in town" Shauna mused, "guess its all that extra effort for a human to keep up with us. Fuck he would be buff as hell if he could transform."

"You should see his cock, THEN think about him transforming" Reyna added quietly.

"You've seen it?" both girls asked in unison.

"Done more than see it" Reyna gloated. "Its a handful" she held up her furred hands. "...and I mean these hands, not the little ones, aaaand.." she paused giving Celeste a wink "...it tastes as good as it smells!"

"Wait, have you...you know?"

"No, we're careful, no contact, but fuck I just wish" she laughed... "Oh fuck."

"What?" Shauna asked as Reyna suddenly went quiet, her eyes almost glazing over.

"I just realised, id never considered what his cock would be like after transforming, holy fuck I WANTS!" and the three broke into giggles as they stood to head back to the gathering but all three froze as they looked up.

Annabel was stood at the edge of the tree-line.

"We need to talk Reyna"
