The wolf woke up as he usually did, 05:00 hours in the morning. He pressed his mind instinctively against the cabin near his ship and found seven sleeping minds content as can be. Stretching, he rose to his feet and went to the on board lavatory to relieve himself. After brushing his fur and putting on his second uniform that was in the on board storage hatch, he left his ship and approached the cabin, his steps completely silenced by an unseen force. Opening the door of the cabin noiselessly, he went inside and set about preparing breakfast for eight, making sure they were soldier sized helpings. The smell of bacon, sausage, eggs, waffles, pancakes, and toast filled the cabin within twenty minutes. Sensing the approach of one of Alpha Squad, he shined his metals quickly and turned around, the ULC emblem etched in gold thread on his uniform and a Black Ops insignia underneath his metals on the front left pocket.

He saw Jess turn the corner, going completely still with shock. Her eyes shot to the insignia, then the emblem, and she shook her head. The wolf simply nodded. "Good morning, Jess. I have not a name for you to call me except project eight. I am almost finished preparing breakfast for you and your highly respected team. Please, sit. Some coffee to liven you up?" He offered, holding up a pot full of the black liquid. She sighed and nodded.

"Sure, eight. What does Command want us to cancel our vacation for?" She asked once the wolf handed her a mug of the coffee, creamer, and sugar. He shook his head as he brought her a plate, knowing she had a taste for bacon and waffles. She smiled and nodded at him. "Thanks." She said gratefully before taking a bite out of a waffle. He set down some butter and two types of syrup, strawberry and blueberry.

"Command wants me to be a part of Alpha Squad. They have made me for that purpose and one that you will know once the rest of the team is up." He replied calmly, his voice not traveling from the walls of the room. She looked at him with her ears perked.

"Jen- I mean Captain Raider personally picked us, one by one. We're a squad of seven because it's a lucky prime number, eight. I don't think she'll be happy with this." She said regretfully as she finished two of her three waffles, finding them to be the best that she'd ever had, as the wolf felt her thinking.

"You can call her Jen or Jenna in front of me. I'm not hard core unless I'm in combat. Besides, I'm here with you to get to know all of you, and to allow you to know me... Or at least as much of me as you need to so you can predict my decisions in the heat of a fire fight." He responded calmly, seeming undeterred by what she said.

At that moment, Buck and Eagle walked in, looking at the wolf the same way Jess had until Jess spoke up. "Chill guys, he's cool. He's been assigned to us by Command. He knew exactly what I wanted for breakfast and I'd be damned if it isn't the best I've had in years. Think he's got files on us, so come on and take advantage of his cooking." She said with a smile as the wolf set down sausage, pancakes, and buttered toast for Buck and eggs and bacon for Eagle. The just looked at each other and shrugged, going to their places and vocalizing their satisfaction with the food with very audible yum noises. The wolf simply smiled and continued, setting up plates of food for Lisa and Jack, who were also just around the corner. This time, he came right up to them, knowing full well they liked to eat on the couch. The both stood stock still until the saw the marks of the ULC then just took the plates politely and went to the couches, Jess filling them and Buck and Eagle in on what he'd just said. He only grunted the occasional confirmation.

Slowly they set into their food, the wolf not taking Jenna and Ryan's food off quite yet, thinking they'd need a wakeup call. He whispered what he was going to do in Jess' ear before heading to their room. As he came up, he contemplated on knocking, but after pressing his mind into the room and finding them covered, he simply walked in silently, the sizzling from the kitchen being silence by an unseen force. He walked over to the closet, choosing apparel for them both. After setting them out on the foot of the bed, he nudged them both on the shoulders. Ryan woke up first, pulling a M1911 and putting it right between the wolf's eyes as he looked over his uniform. With hesitation, he pulled it away, getting a smile from the wolf. Jenna almost did the same, but Ryan's paw stopped her. "Breakfast is ready, as is the squad. Your cloths are at the foot of the bed." The wolf said as he walked out, closing the door behind him.

***

Jenna got up and got dressed, shaking her head. "Can't believe Command is going to call us back so damn quick." She sighed. "They must have found something in that base." Sitting on the foot of the bed, fully dressed, she put her head in her hands, her light brown hair, long enough to be under hear shoulders, fell around her face as she grimaced from her vacation being cut short after the amazing night she just had with her new mate. She hummed a slightly pleased tune as Ryan sat beside her, also fully dressed, and began to rub her back.

"It's okay. Even with how short it was, this has to be the best R&R I've ever had, my mate." He said soothingly, giving her a sweet kiss as she turned her face to him, making her feel like she was a mile high. "Anyhow, what could possibly be better then kicking some more Plague ass?" The Renomon asked, baiting her.

"Sex with you, no question." She said with a smirk. He smiled and kissed her again, not going too deep. When they broke apart, they left the room, joining the others in the kitchen/living room area. There, in the middle of the room, was the wolf. He had set the table for Jenna and Ryan, so they sat down and ate. Both found the meal to be far better than either had eaten in a long time. The wolf cleared his throat and everyone in the room looked at him.

***

Clearing his throat to get the attention of everyone in the room, the wolf simply smiled at them all before beginning, each in turn, starting and finishing with Jess. "As you know, we don't exist. Black Ops team Alpha is meant for the Corps to be able to carry out operations without the Universal Federation's allies knowing, missions that if known about, could cause many to turn against the Corps for their "Non-discretion" and "Inability to follow protocol." They, as you have found, regulate everything that the ULC does and for the past few hundred years, have been running so much red tape around the generals that they can't launch anything to change the tide of this war without so much interference from higher authority that nothing can be done. I was made to help you bring down the next big target. What you guys did on Uthoria Six uncovered a hive node that controls many Plague battalions in this sector. As it has been rumored by every top scientist, these nodes have the best security, rivaling only our prototype systems and sensory equipment, but they are standard issue. The cell that created me thought the destruction of this one facility would mean the end of the war entirely, but on the way here, I found a ship... A big one. It was Plague so I though some tactical recon would do Intel some good, and I found that it's a big network that runs the Plague, so they always have a back up. Because of the divided control, however, they are a bit slow to move in large numbers, so we have an advantage as a military force. However, if we ever want to get this sector of space back, we have to take down that hive."

"Now, I know I'm not trusted by any of you quite yet, but I think we can agree on the hive's destruction. I have the coordinates of the hive and the means to get there unseen and unheard. This team is but the first of multiple strikes after the information I found. It's time the Plague is wiped from the face of the galaxy, and we're going to be the first to start." At his finish, the team was nodding in approval, except Jen and Ryan, who were still regarding him carefully.

Jess spoke up. "It's about time this happened. So... How do we know we can trust you?" She asked calmly, looking him in the eye.

"Because Jess, the Federation's allies just got wind of our existence and the Federation it's self is denying everything, so we've been flushed from the system. I'm all you've got as far as survival goes. I'm also the only one here who knows of the supplies ship that is currently MIA. It is to be our base of operations. Since this is on record in high command as your vacation spot, the Federation's allies will no doubt be sending a mercenary team to eliminate you by using extreme force. They've been tricked into thinking we're a radical group so that the ULC can cover its arse so they're not found out and this war can be taken care of without the loss of millions more." He replied, looking right at her. "That and Ryan and I have worked together before, not that he'll remember me the way I am now." He said with a tone of victory.

"You're right, I don't remember you, but something about you seems very unsettling... Like you're not supposed to be here." Ryan commented, looking the wolf over from head to toe.

"I died on Arcadiolia. You knew me then as SSgt. Anthony Blake Williams. Now I am far more than that. After the Adepts were realized as more than just an abnormality among the human and digimon, they examined my body, along with others a lot more closely. Apparently, I didn't die, but I entered a state of suspension in which my body would look to decay, but my powers would fold over themselves to the point I became strong enough to defy physics. That's why when I walk, there is no noise, and why I seem to set every feeling within all of you at unease. It's because your abilities are attuned to recognize the presence of other living creatures and are at a loss because your eyes see me, but those senses don't." He said, making Eagle look at him funny.

"Like I have the ability to mask my presence and muffle most sounds around me?" She asked, looking at him quizzically.

"Yes, but I've been extensively trained with my powers, and am very adept at using them. All of them. I am a mage level super psychic. They only things I cannot do are things like seeing into the future, or have abnormally high luck or become temporarily invincible. Things that you, Jenna, can do once you tap your powers. They're dormant." He concluded, pulling out a small device and tossing it to her, which she barely caught, not really registering what was going on anymore. "Keep this on you; it'll enhance the speed of your power's development."

"Wait wait wait... Williams? You were killed by an arachnid warrior! I saw his fangs rip you in half!" Ryan suddenly yelled out, standing and pointing at him.

"Brass put me together for my funeral, and then I started to give off large amounts of radiation. Turned out to be one of my healing abilities being activated subconsciously. I remember that prank Fredrik pulled on you, putting that dyeing agent in your soap that turned your fur a vibrant pink." The wolf said, looking at him with a smile.

Ryan dropped into his chair, his mouth hanging open. "That was out at camp site four. There was no way that reached intel..." He looked into the eyes of the wolf, the soft blue being a ghostly image. "Yep... It's you."

"Not anymore. Williams died on that rock with the rest of the squad. I'm all that's left of him." The wolf said almost reluctantly. "I'm nothing more than his shadow." He said, showing the first peak at his true vulnerability at the face he had lost what he used to be.

Jess stood up and walked over to him, placed a paw on his shoulder, and looked him right in the eye. "Now you're a part of Alpha Squad. Now, you make your own identity." She said with a quiet courage that seemed to touch the wolf. He smiled back at her, feeling her presence as a comfort.

"So... I can do what?" Jenna asked, making the wolf bow his head slightly and turn it side to side.

"You are a seer. A Level twelve seer for that matter. You can predict the future not by people's intentions, but by what it will be under the current set of decisions. In essence, you can see the future as it changes and even cause it to change in time. Also, if you've notices, bullets just don't hit you. It comes from an above average level of luck. Luck, as the adepts define it, is the subconscious assurance that things will go your way by gentle influence of the space time continuum. Your mind pushes and pulls things to go your way. It's one of the most valuable, and god-like, powers that there are. But, when you get into range of someone else with this power, they feel you because you and said person would cancel each other out." He said monotonously.

"Yes... I've had that happen before, but only once." She replied.

"This power that you have is very rare. Especially since it's paired with the other. Not even pre-defined powers can have this combination happen. Ever since contact with the Elfarie, humans and in turn, digimon, have been showing increasing paranormal abilities. Personally, I believe that you are sensitive to the special electrical field around them, so their abilities transferred to your kind unknowingly."

***

Finally, night came. Everyone packed into their rooms, settling down to have their nightly fun, except Jess, who was still talking to the wolf. She felt this strange connection to him, and soon enough, could sense his presence. She took this into account as just her getting used to him. They talked about his training, his past life too, and she found herself liking him a lot.

"You know, when I first saw you, I was just going to kill you. I didn't care about your markings. But... Something about you..." She trailed off, a light going on in her head. She had the ability to sense important situations. Things like problems. It's how she got into the squad. She could tell whether to go left or right at a crossroad. It made her essential. She could also tell if someone was telling the truth, which she felt this wolf was undoubtedly doing.

"Was it my charming smile?" The wolf asked, giving her a comical shit-eating grin. She shook her head, tipping back in the kitchen chair she was in. He was across from her on the other side of the room, leaning on the counter.

"Something in my gut told me you were important. But not to our future of the squad and I, but to me alone. You know what I mean?" She asked seriously, letting the chair fall forward onto all four of its legs and resting her elbows on the table, her hands folded. She had hands that no other Renamon did. They were five fingered, no doubt a surgery altered job since she also was the tech expert of the squad. They were pure white, as she had typical Renamon coloring. "It's like I've been waiting forever for someone like you to come into my life..." she finished wistfully.

[http://i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww202/sarahwhitefox/Renamon__Candid_Shower_by_tailsrulz.jpg - this is what I imagined Jess looking like to the dot... Lucky as hell I found it. Artwork not mine, but I thought you might like it. ]

The wolf blushed heavily, visible even under his black fur. The smile vanished, a look close to fear replacing it. He didn't want to be put into this kind of situation. Being taught not to get "involved" permanently with someone because of his physiology, he didn't ever want to hurt Jess. Not now since he knew so much about her, from her mouth instead of the files. He had admitted to himself hour ago that he had a crush on her, but this... He didn't want to hurt her.

"Maybe I'm just being silly..." She said under her breath. The wolf sighed, which caught her attention.

"No, you're not. But I want you to consider something. Being around me for extended periods, past thirteen hours of exposure, can cause problems in a living being's brain. I give off telekinetic frequencies that interfere with brainwaves. A mechanism designed to get me out of a prison, should I ever be captured. It takes time, but soon enough, you'll hear whispering. This will only take an hour of exposure from there, but then anything I say will seem right. No matter what it is... Then you die." He said, a tear falling from his face. "I've been doomed to a life of solitude because of it. And then, because of my powers, I don't age. So I'm destined to live forever without someone to call mine, Jess." He tilted his head to look at her slightly, his eyes very blurry. "I know that look in your eyes... It's the look of longing, of desire. I feel the same but..." Trailing off, he let his head fall, chin to chest, and his upper body went nearly limp.

Without hesitation, Jess got up, went over to him, and kissed him deep. He was shocked and couldn't even return the kiss before she broke away. "How much do you even know about digimon?" She asked, looking at him with a lopsided smile. He shook his head. "We are not like any other organic being, that's why we can use our powers forever and not ever get tired, but we cannot push our limit. We work differently, wolf. You probably can't affect me like you would Jenna. Our synaptic functions operate on a higher level, that's why we're so quick to pull the trigger." A light went on in his eyes. If what she was saying was correct, they could have something in terms of a long term relationship. "That and digimon live eternally as well. I only age into more powerful forms."

This time he kissed her, long and deep, tears of joy falling from his eyes instead of those of sorrow. He felt that for once, he might be able to someday have a semi-normal life. Jess tasted sweet, very sweet, and slightly spicy. He had no idea why, but he didn't care at all. He was there and so was she, that's what mattered to him. Digimon were never a threat, so he knew little to nothing about them besides the personal lives of the six he was going to be working with for the next couple of years, more likely than not.

***

The kiss went further, from just the lips touching and a gentle embrace, to passionate caresses, both slowly making their way back to Jess' room. She fumbled behind her as her back hit her door, turning the knob and almost stumbling in. She could tell the wolf closed it as the light from the kitchen went out, none of their recklessness making a sound because of the wolf's presence. Jess made her way to the bed as best she could, feeling the wolf guide her gently, making sure she didn't trip on anything on the floor. Suddenly, something hit that back of her legs and the wolf felt her fall below him, pulling him down on top of her body perfectly, with his legs between hers. He could feel her getting hornier by the second and the combine scents of her sexes filled the air, her cock getting hard and pulling out of her sheath as her pussy got wetter and wetter.

He could feel himself getting stiff at the scents in the air and with a thought, let his field of silence envelope the room so that no one could hear what was happening within its walls. He broke free of her mouth, their tongues leaving each other in mid air as they pant, two dicks between them and one hot, wanting pussy. He could see the look of want, the look of desire in her eyes, not just to be with him, but to give this to him. His body fluttered and faltered, shook and couldn't keep steady as they just stare into each other's lust filled gaze. With one hand, the wolf pushed her completely on the bed and mounted her, pressing the tip of his tool against her neathers, eyes watching hers, breath held as the warmth of her folds washed over his sensitive flesh, her cunny very slowly soaking the sheets below her.

"Jess... Are you ready?" He asked, knowing her record well enough, and her scent, to tell this was her first time. She nodded quickly, her tail wrapping tightly around his waist and urging him to hilt her there and then. He generously replied, shoving all of himself into her tight, hot body. She cried out, but not in pain. Her flower shredded almost harmlessly, as what happens sometimes, but he thought it might have hurt her a bit more than that. But it didn't. She pulled at him, her hands against his chest, her tail around his waist urging more from him. Happily, he obliged, pulling out to the tip and slamming back down, watching her head go back as she let out a lustful moan, wanting and needing more then he thought at first.

***

She pulled at him with her tail again, just as he sat deep inside of her body, his rigid member making hers pulse with excitement as her core heated and surged with raw pleasure. She wanted, no, need and had to have more. He pulled out to the tip, each ridge along his wonderful length going right over her g-spot, making her shudder in the waves of desire that sprang up hard in her, the emptiness left behind almost too much to stand. She pulled at his waist and she felt him thrust right back to the hilt without hesitation, making her head spin in the sheer force of intense feelings that slammed through her fragile frame, making her mind white out. A sudden warmth spread through her as she felt his thickness leak a little pre into her, a little of hers beading on the tip of her tool as well. She almost screamed in pleasure as she felt a pair of hot lips envelope the tip, taking it into a hot, loving maw.

Jess looked at the wolf, seeing a collar around his neck appear from nowhere, the word "Shadow" inscribed in a deep red metal tag. She watched him as he sank her cock into his mouth, taking in inch by inch if the throbbing flesh, while withdrawing his own from her. She was panting already, her chest rising and falling quicker and quicker as he started to swirl his tongue around her penis in his mouth, skillfully playing her nerves like a fiddle, making her voice sing and cry out in a harmonious pleasure, each loud note followed by one of slightly higher volume. She felt his tongue dart out of his maw and slowly, carefully caress both of her balls, gently cradling each one in it's silky smooth wetness. He began to rise off of her cock as he started to push in to her pussy, just going in for the third time. Her mind was going wild from this attention, feeling the peak coming close for her neathers, undoubtedly soon to be joined by him as he pulsed and jumped within her tight body.

***

He had taken the smooth flesh of her tool into his mouth and felt something tear though him suddenly. The wolf realized that his mind was melding with hers, something he knew only possible between true soul mates. This was unreal for him and the excitement that was caused to spread though him was almost too much. Her taste was amazing and her body was so tight, little bumps and ridges within her leaving him right at his peak, but he couldn't finish yet, this had just started, so he delved into his powers and gave them both increased stamina, his peak backing as he felt hers do the same. Touching her mind with his for most likely the last time before they simply bridged, he shared in her pleasure, feeling his tongue around her shaft spin her head and send shockwaves of blinding pleasure through her body. He carefully let his tongue go down and reach her balls, feeling her pleasure as his own for the moment he played them, letting his body resonate his own pleasure to her as he began he decent into her depths, tight as a vice and hot as could be with enough of her cunny lubricating it that his fourteen inches slid right into her body, filling it to the brim. Pre soaked his mouth now, salty yet spicy in a way that made him moan around her, feeling her shake and shudder, her voice giving up on her minutes ago as he began to thrust in and out of her body in a constant rhythm, bobbing his head up and down on her delicious pink flesh, one paw kneading her balls as the other held her down.

Minutes lasted as long as hours to him, knowing they must have been an eternity to Jess, and both happily fucking each other completely senseless. His rhythm was becoming flawless, his motions effortless as he pulled and pushed her body, taking her deep into his mouth, bring her into his throat on occasion, finally coming to the glorious edge that had taken so dreadfully yet wonderfully long to reach, its intensity immeasurable but it was something like nothing he had ever experience, and yet it hadn't even happened yet.

***

Jess felt everything he did, seconds feeling like minutes, and she could feel everything her body felt like to him. She could taste her own juices, smell both of their musk, and feel every inch of him deep in her body, pulsing and coating her inner walls with pre right as she felt something rack through her body suddenly, a torrent of nothing but extreme pleasure blast through her like she'd never experienced. His balls clenched up as she felt a knot tie him to her, felt hot seed erupt deep within her letting loose her own into his waiting maw, and feeling his mind fuse with hers on some unimaginable level, their orgasms becoming one as they both went still, a hurricane of emotions and sensations flooding their bodies with white pleasure...

***

A small alarm went off next to the bed. Shadow hit the alarm hard with his paw, sending it sailing across the room into, and through, the wall. He curled his arms around Jess carefully, not waking her as he felt her dreams bringing her happiness. He'd woken up an hour ago, still firmly tied with her. Warmth spread though him as he felt the rich, creamy sweet taste of her cum in his mouth. They were both soaked in sweat, long dried and leaving them a little messy. Not to mention the fluid stains all over the bed. Shadow, or what he felt that Jess had named him within her mind, was happier then he'd ever been. He chuckled inwardly as he thought of the name the drake back at his training center somehow followed him here, but he couldn't complain. He was just happy to be in her soft, loving arms.

There was a soft knocking at the door and Shadow automatically let some of his energy fill the room, guiding it to the lock and turning it, allowing the door to be opened. Then, he used the same ability to turn the knob and let the door fall open, bathing the room in light. Well, most of the room that is. He'd been given an especially useful power to pull and collect darkness while redirecting light, actually creating pockets of energy that guided light away from a large area. It's how he pulled off his Houdini trick of disappearing.

"Hey Jess, time to get..." It was Jenna's voice, trailing as she found the back of the room, including the bed, blanketed in darkness. "Ryan, get in here!" She yelled, alerting Shadow enough so that he relaxed his control, allowing the curtain of darkness to fall. He looked into Jenna's eyes as they went wide. He had, regretfully, forgotten to pull the covers over Jess and himself, allowing a full view of the two of them tied together. Ryan appeared in the door just in time to see as Shadow give the covers a pull with his powers, covering them. His blush was deep enough to be visible underneath his midnight fur.

"Well well... That's what that feeling was last night." Ryan said, resting his hands on his hips, smirking at Shadow. "Was she good?" He asked, making Jenna do a double take at him. She then punched his arm with a really good amount of force, considering how far Ryan moved.

"Hell yeah." Was all Shadow replied as he gently ran a paw across her cheek, making her stir. She woke up suddenly, trying to bolt upright but finding herself tied to Shadow. She looked Jenna right in the eye, suddenly fearful. "They've found us..." Shadow whispered into her mind. Startled, Jess looked at him and he nodded, answering the question of telepathy in her mind.

"Ryan..." Jenna looked at him critically, then at Shadow. "Wolf, what the hell?" She asked harshly, reprimanding him.

Jess spoke up. "I'm the one who initiated this, Ma'am. I just... He's... Somethin' else Ma'am." She said, looking into Shadow's eyes as a smile appeared on her face. He smiled back at her, stroking the soft fur of her cheek with his paw, letting his mind reach out and touch hers. When she felt it, she recoiled almost instantly behind a barrier that she'd developed long ago, but soon came out, sensing it was Shadow. As their minds intertwined, she closed her eyes, no longer caring that her commanding officer was standing not even a few feet away.

Shadow pulled the darkness over the two of them again, his mind perfectly harmonizing and allowing Jess to see just how it worked and she was completely amazed at the speed and efficiency of it. He had already located a good set of clothing for them, simple civilian attire, black slacks and an armless shirt for him and cameo parachute pants with a white tank top for her. He had slipped right into his cloths and emerged from the darkness as she seemed to adjust to the lack of light. His field let some light in, but not enough to illuminate them at all. So she slowly and groggily made her way into the outfit he had picked. It fit perfectly, like the few tight spots on it had been loosened somehow along with loose spots tightened. She watched him leave with Jen and Ryan, his thoughts and their words echoing over their new telepathic bond.

"Alright, I want answers. Are you here just to get in bed with Jess, or are you here for the squad and the ULC?" She could hear Jen ask him sharply though the bond. Feeling a little offended by this, because she could easily take care of herself, she hastened the pace at which she dressed, a bit of fur rubbing the wrong way here and there.

"Like she told you, Ma'am, she started it all. I was explaining that others cannot be in close proximity for extended periods of time because of what I am, that I would live forever alone because of this, and then she approached me and started to kiss me. I... I was falling for her before that moment even, because we were discussing each other's pasts..." She felt Shadow explain calmly. Though him, she could also feel the same sensation he could, sense the reactions of Jen and Ryan before they even showed them. All of this was so amazing, especially since she had been chosen by him for him.

"I don't know, that just sounds too... Perfect..." Jen replied with a very suspicious tone. By now, Jess was dressed and was standing right behind the door, no noise coming though because of Shadow's existence.

"I know... Imagine, for a moment, if you were me. Someone who had died somewhere, rotted for a year, than had been suddenly brought back to life in some military compound, told you had died, and then told you had no rights any longer and served them fully. I was a marine, so I didn't argue. After all, they had been very good to me, besides the dying part. I trained for thirteen years, learning this body, these powers... Then this one creature, a draconian, came into my life and showed me that I was still a living, breathing creature that deserved a bit of leeway. So they gave me an officer's rank, slapped the insignias on, and started teaching me about the world that I was to go into. Then I trained more. Twenty years total and then I'm assigned to your team, Ma'am. Imagine, for a moment, what it feels like to be a captive for twenty years, feeling psychical pleasure from a very strange alien like creature because he deemed it a gift that needed to be given, and then set free to do as you pleased... I came here thinking we could do this, take down these bastards at their cores, and set things straight. Maybe I could retire finally... And now I meet Jess, someone who's kind, loving, sweet, understanding, and generally amazing. She looked into my heart, my very soul, and found me. I feel like I've walked out of the constant hell of war and into a romantic book. Now don't get me wrong, I love to fight, love to kill these nightmare-ish things and make bigger things go boom, but this... This is a dream come true."

Jess was in tears, feeling every word almost aimed at her, letting her know just how he felt towards her. She could even feel Jen a little choked up, thinking that Jess wouldn't find anyone out here, that she was the odd girl out... And here this demonic like wolf warrior had gotten into bed with her and stolen her heart, giving her his in the process. Jess leaned against the wall, feeling joy spreading though her, and just enjoyed it for a moment. Once this moment had passed, she opened the door, walked right up to Shadow, and kissed him. Not hot and heavy, but long and lovingly, showing Jen that she loved him as he had described that he loved her.

All this time, she didn't hear a peep from Ryan, who was silently taking all of it in as usual, which turned her on sometimes, but now she had a man for herself. She could only think about him for a moment, than considered the team again, and how good of a addition he would be...

I know, I know... Short. But hey, I looked for a bit of quality over quantity here, but I'm also eager to release this one. I think I will keep parts of this story grouped together in a very specific way so they flow better, because I hate to read a story that doesn't flow, so why would I post one? Anyhow, comments and ratings are very very appreciated and I would love some feedback here. Just let me know how it's going please, and as always, more to come.
