Valentines was a special day for not just people, but also many animals. Unfortunately in the zoo, it was hard for animals to select their mates as they were stuck behind fence and glass cages. Luckily, fate had a special plan for these animals this valentine's day.

Paul had been working at the zoo for quite some time. He was aware of the many disappearances of people, yet it didn't bother him too much. The zoo paid incredibly well, and every time someone vanished, there were security upgrades and improvements to prevent it happening again, even though it inevitably did. Paul was in his mid-20s with short brown hair and a clean shaven face. He looked much younger than he was, and wore a khaki shirt with shorts, a standard zoo outfit.

Paul was in the middle of doing his rounds, looking over each exhibit and all of the animals. He couldn't help but notice how so many animals just had a twinkle in their eye of intelligence. They often shied away from humans too, which Paul always thought was odd. They didn't treat the zoo animals that terrible.

Paul entered a building simply called "The Feline house" which housed all of the zoo's cat creatures. Many of them were in their own exhibit made of extremely strong glass with concrete barriers holding up the corners. Two Steel doorways were placed in the back center part of the house which allowed one into the back areas and the exhibits from there. Paul looked over the male and female lion cuddling, and then he checked the jaguar exhibit. The jaguar they had at the zoo was a strange one, unlike any jaguar that Paul had seen before. "And how are you doing in there today?" he asked with a gentle tap of the glass of the jaguar exhibit.

A black jaguar stared at Paul with yellow eyes. This particular black jaguar had a fluffy tail instead of a slim one. The tail was also much longer, almost twice as long. The tail flickered back and forth while the eyes of the jaguar continued to look at Paul, unblinking. The jaguar's emotions were mixed, though the tail twitched the longer the two stared at each other.

Paul stared back at the jaguar. He knew staring at animals was wrong, but something told him that this animal was fine. He didn't even remember where they got the jaguar from. It just felt...as if it had a human soul inside of it, as if he could connect to it if he tried. "Well...you look fine today." He concluded before he went to the next exhibit.

Right beside the jaguar's exhibit with a concrete wall separating the exhibits was the tiger exhibit. While the jaguar was male, the tiger was female. The tiger had a normal coat of fur, orange on top, white on the bottom, complete with black stripes along its body. The tiger was a full grown one, and much like the jaguar, this tiger stared straight at Paul.

Paul felt a sense of awkwardness. It was one thing for the jaguar to stare, the jaguar usually either stared, or ran into hiding behind the trees in its exhibit, but to have the tiger to also stare was unusual for the beast. "You doing alright Jade?" he asked the tiger as he looked back at the tiger sitting on a flat rock near a very small trail of water that went into both the tiger and the jaguar exhibits.

The tiger's eyes slowly blinked as it looked at Paul. Its tail shifted slowly to the left, and then to the right. The tiger raised one of its large paws, stuck out its tongue, and began to groom its head.

"I'll take that as a yes." Paul rolled his eyes. He knew that today was the day that Jade had to be fed, so he went through the steel door that led into the back areas where he could access the exhibits. The back area was largely a long concrete hallway with a large fridge and freezer that housed the food that the cats ate. Paul put on a pair of plastic gloves from a box near the food storage, and then grabbed a piece of meat from the fridge. The meat was difficult to identify, it was a large slab of pink meat on the shelf labeled for tigers. He then made his way to the door, and opened it up to the tiger exhibit within.

The exhibit had real grass and dirt, complete with a tree that, while it looked real, was actually fake. The back and side concrete walls were painted to look like the back of a jungle. The area was rather small for a tiger, yet there was enough entertainment for the tiger, including the 'tree' for its huge claws, and a basketball to roll around for amusement. Jade's ears flickered as she heard the door open. Immediately her head shot towards the door to see Paul there. Jade was raised in the zoo, she knew better than to attack or be afraid of people, though that didn't mean that she took her eyes off of him.

Paul just smiled at the tiger. "Hey girl, I brought you your food today." He walked into the exhibit carefully with the food in hand, and placed it down onto the soft grass in front of him. As he turned around to leave however, the door suddenly slammed shut, making him jump. "Ack!" He rushed to the door and tried to pry it open, unfortunately the door lacked a handle from the inside. There was a key hole one could insert the key and pull the door open, but Paul as forgetful as he was, forgot the keys in the first entryway he used to get into the back area. "Shit." He was stuck in the exhibit with Jade. At least he knew Jade was friendly, but it just meant he was going to be stuck until a coworker found him. He knew that the doors were often faulty and would close on zookeepers at the zoo quite often, despite what changes the zoo made, their doors would often just close on their own.

The tiger stood up once the door closed. It didn't look panicked that Paul was stuck, nor did it look angry at Paul. Jade casually made her way to the door and ignored the meat. It looked up at Paul, and then suddenly brushed her head up against his torso.

It was hard for Paul not to fall back when Jade rubbed against him. Jade was quite a large tiger after all. With a deep breath, he reached out to her and stroked the top of her body, feeling her luxurious soft tiger fur. "Y-yeah, you're welcome Jade, now go ahead and eat, I've got to get to the front of the exhibit and try to find someone who will help me out of here."

Jade made a chuffing noise as she rubbed her body up against Paul. She seemed oblivious to the food that Paul offered, she just seemed happy that he was there, and she would not relent in brushing up her body against him.

Paul stepped back against the shut door. With a chuckle, he removed his plastic gloves so he could feel the tiger's fur up against his hands. It was a rare experience for someone to feel the fur of a live tiger, much less have that same tiger be happy to see them. As his hands brushed up against the tiger, they suddenly felt a bit itchy. Paul looked at his hands, and gasped as he saw the palms of his hands, and his very fingers turn black in color. "This...this isn't a normal allergic reaction." Although he knew he wasn't allergic to any of the animals at the zoo.

Jade's eyes looked up at Paul. She suddenly raised up her paws and pinned his wrists up against the concrete wall. Her head placed inches from Paul's own.

Paul couldn't react in time, he was a human up against a tiger. There was no way he could compete with her speed. He gasped as he felt the heavy weight of her paws against his wrists, and her hot tiger breath up against his face. His heart pounded heavily as he feared for his own safety so suddenly. He knew animals were quick to change their behavior, but this was new for Jade. He stared at the tiger's face, her long whiskers, and her finely groomed fur. He tried not to show fear, but he couldn't help it. "P-please let me go girl." Yet he also felt his hands shifting. He took a look at his left, and then his right, but he couldn't see his hands beyond her paws.

Jade leaned in closer and opened her mouth to reveal her pristine white tiger teeth. Her teeth alone could have ripped Paul's flesh right off. Her feline tongue stuck out, and then she suddenly licked Paul's cheek, repeatedly. Her claws slightly stuck out from her paws, not enough to harm Paul, but enough for her claws to get underneath his clothing.

Paul let out a mental sigh of relief that Jade was just licking him, but he felt funny wherever Jade licked him. He felt an incredible warmth and tingling sensation on his cheek, and while he wanted to see what was going on, Jade kept him pinned from being unable to see, or feel what was happening to his hands, but he felt his hands were heavier and harder to control.

Jade suddenly bit down, but she bit down inches away from his skin, and right onto his clothing. With a guttural growl, she pulled hard enough to strip his shirt clean off his torso.

Paul was taken aback at the tiger's massive strength. He was also surprised at how easily his shirt came off, yet he felt warm underneath his shirt. He looked down to see why, and his eyes widened. He saw fur, fine silky white fur with black stripes growing on his stomach. His stomach was also shifting and changing. He could hear bone crack underneath his skin. He turned back up to Jade. "What...what are you doing to me?" he asked with labored breathing.

Jade didn't answer him. She stepped back to let him go, and fell back onto all four of her paws.

Paul was now able to see his own hands, and he noticed they resembled paws that looked just like Jade's. His paws were big and thick, covered with fur and paw pads. He looked down to see his old fingernails, and questionably he tried to flex his paws to see tiger nails come out of it. His body continued to bulk up as organs shifted, and bones adjusted. "Y-you're making me into a tiger, just like you." Paul wasn't sure how to feel. He felt a sense of panic, but at the same time, a sense of relief. Jade meant no harm to him, but now he was going to be stuck in here with her, likely forever.

Jade didn't nod, she didn't respond in any sort of language. Rather, she just nuzzled up against him again. The more she nuzzled him, the quicker Paul's changes seemed to accelerate. His torso, as well as his arms, and even his head was covered in tiger fur that resembled Jade's with orange and white with black stripes.

Paul shivered as he felt her fur brush on his growing fur. He felt his body growing taller, but his balance was getting harder to maintain. "Please...don't." he said quietly. As his body changed, he slowly realized exactly what was happening to so many zoo employees and guests alike. He opened his mouth to keep talking, but his teeth fell out one by one, being replaced by sharp tiger teeth that grew quickly in his changing mouth. He leaned back against the wall, but he could feel his legs start to wobble.

Jade sat back on her haunches and watched with her slit tiger eyes. She chuffed lightly, and her tail swayed from side to side. From both the perspective of a human, and a tiger, one could tell Jade looked content as she watched the transformation.

Paul could do nothing to stop his transformation. His body, while not hot, felt incredibly warm and itchy in places where the fur grew. Whiskers popped out of his face as his nose pushed out with his mouth to form a tiger muzzle. His ears shifted up to the top of his head and flickered as they picked up on Jade's noise of happiness. He could no longer lean back against the wall, and fell forward onto his paws. His new feline ears picked up a loud snap from his spine, and he almost instinctively knew that he wasn't getting back up on two legs anytime soon.

As Paul landed on all fours, Jade got up and walked over to him again. She brushed his body up against his own, the two looked almost identical in appearance, and looked more alike as time went on. One of Jade's heavy front paws reached out to Paul's pants and pulled them down with ease thanks to Paul's changed legs. While his feet were now larger than normal, ripping out of his socks and forcing his shoes off, his pants didn't come completely off. His legs just weren't built to wear human pants or underwear anymore, nor were his feet fit to wear socks or shoes. With a lack of pants or underwear covering Paul's backside, it allowed room for a tiger tail to slowly push its way outwards.

Paul felt his fur stand on ends as Jade so effortlessly undressed his pants. He stepped out of them, and turned his head to get a good look at the back of his body. He saw a tiger torso, and a tail that twitched with nervousness. He opened his mouth to speak, but all that came out was a tiger growl. He could feel his crotch shift too. His cock pulled back and sheathed as it also developed the infamous feline barbs. His new nose picked up the scent of Jade, and how arousing the scent of her was. As a human, he couldn't tell, but as a tiger, he very much knew that she was in heat and needed a mate. As his toenails fell out of his now tiger paws, he finished his transformation into a full feral tiger, and he now knew what Jade wanted, and exactly what his new body desired too.

While the tiger was definitely going to be satisfied, other animals lacked a proper mate to be happy this Valentine's day. The jaguar near the tiger exhibit had no desire for a mate. He had a human soul, and while he knew the zoo secrets, he could not stop the zoo from doing what it did to other animals or humans, including one that was entering just after Paul had finished transforming...

Violet was just another guest at the zoo. She was in her late 40s, and had two children that no longer lived with her, and an estranged husband. She wore long black pants and a pink top. She walked through the feline exhibit, glancing at each one. She saw the very timid jaguar, and then she saw two tigers, both of which were in the middle of mating with each other. While Violet was not very fond of the particular sight of two feral tigers...mating, she was happy for them, and the zoo. The world needed more tiger cubs. It also reminded her of her empty house. She let out a lone sigh, wishing at times she could have more children of her own, but she loathed the idea of going through the dating process again.

Violet went back outside the feline house and noticed a lack of people around the zoo. It was a little bizarre at this time of day, and considering how nice it was outside too. Then again, she also knew it was Valentines, and maybe the idea of visiting a zoo wasn't romantic to most people. She walked past multiple other exhibits, glancing briefly in each of them and seeing either lone animals with a glimpse of intelligence in their eyes, or exhibits that had two or more animals copulating.

Violet made it to her favorite animal exhibit, the wolf exhibit, and she glanced inside. The wolf exhibit was behind a steel fence, and built to be quite massive. It was so massive in fact that the wolves weren't even in sight. The path for the zoo guests went around the front of the exhibit, but the fence stretched behind trees and with a wolf den with the entrance faced in a position that the guests couldn't see inside of. While Violet loved wolves, she hated how they liked to hide in the zoo and how she rarely saw them. She recalled seeing them only once, and that was because it was feeding time. "I bet they're off having fun too on this Valentine's Day." Violet said with a frustrated sigh. "I wish I had someone to spend it with." She mumbled.

Just then, the gate to the wolf exhibit slowly opened up. The gate wasn't heavily reinforced, it had a simple padlock, but the lock just apparently failed then and there, opening up the gate.

Violet blinked a few times in shock at the sudden opening of that gate. It was as if someone had heard her wish, but it worked like a monkey's paw. "Not exactly what I meant when I said I want to spend Valentine's with someone." Violet said aloud. She glanced to the left of her, and then to the right of her. She saw nobody was eager to try to stop her, nobody was even trying to shut the cage door in a panic, but most of all, the wolves didn't even seem to care that the gate was open. Hesitantly, Violet went through the now open gate and into the wolf exhibit. She had seen most of what there was to see already, it wasn't an entirely thrilling exhibit, but she was curious what the den looked like, and she imagined all of the wolves were inside of it.

Violet cautiously approached the wolves den. The den was made out of solid rock, and jutted out from the ground by a good four feet. The rest of the exhibit was nothing extraordinary. Trees, leaves, and a few bones here and there from the leftover food they had gotten days prior. There was a scent that reminded Violet of a dog park the closer she got to the den, but it didn't stop her. Once she was close enough, she took a peek into the wolf den.

Violet would see a total of three wolves, all adult. Aside from some slight differences in patterns or lightness of their fur, the gray wolves seemed identical. The moment Violet looked inside, the three wolves immediately stared at her. The interior of the den wasn't lit, making their wolf eyes stick out like a sore thumb as they looked at Violet. They didn't growl, they didn't turn their ears back, they simply stared, watching Violet's every move.

Violet was hesitant to approach the wolves. She didn't want to scare them, but at the same time, she could barely even see them from where she stood. "It's okay..." she spoke softly. "I'm not going to hurt you. I just want to see you." She smiled faintly. At least the wolves weren't doing any kind of mating, but at the same time, she almost felt sorry for them for not doing so. "Where are your pups? Don't you have any?"

The three wolves exchanged looks. Their ears up and alert. One of the wolves slowly stood up and walked over to Violet. Once the wolf reached her, he stuck out his nose, and lightly brushed it up against her pant leg.

Violet figured the wolf was getting her scent, something dogs did, so she assumed wolves did it just the same. "Eh heh..." she hesitantly reached out and stroked the top of the wolf's head. The fur on the wolf felt rough and dirty. Violet didn't remember seeing a pond of any sort, making her wonder if the wolves ever bathed. The scent of what smelled like a dog in the den was fairly strong too. "This is something a zookeeper would never let me do." She said quietly. There was something about the wolf that came up to her, something that comforted her.

The wolf tilted their head as they sniffed Violet. They suddenly opened up their mouth and bit down, not on Violet's leg, but onto her pants. The wolf acted like a dog that wanted to play as it pulled on her pant leg with a light growl, and a small wag of its tail.

Violet couldn't help but giggle lightly down at the wolf. She knew a playful dog when she saw one, and this wolf was definitely copying one. "Come on, you can't have my pants." She pulled back, although gently. She felt a warm feeling spread throughout her body that made her pants a bit more uncomfortable though.

The wolf continued to growl playfully. Another one of the wolves from the den stood up and walked over in front of Violet. Suddenly, the wolf pounced on top of Violet, pushing her to the ground. The first wolf pulled back on Violet's pants as the second one pounced her onto the ground, making Violet's pants pull down just below her butt. The first wolf didn't hesitate, and continued to pull at her pants. With Violet's shoes still on, getting her pants off was difficult, but the wolf was relentless, ripping her pant leg with their teeth.

Violet fell, caught off guard by the sudden wolf pouncing onto her. She was also shocked how her pants got pulled down and revealed her light blue underwear. "H-hey!" She never knew wolves to actually try to undress people. "C-come on, enough playing around." She knew she could wrestle the wolf off, but she was hesitant to anger the wolf.

The wolf got off of her, but walked to the entrance of the den, while the wolf pulling her pants pulled her entire body into the den. The third wolf, whom had just been watching up until now, stood up and walked over in front of Violet. The wolf leaned down, grabbed onto Violet's second pant leg, and pulled hard. Together, the two wolves were able to pull off Violet's pants, despite her still wearing shoes and socks. Both wolves wasted no time ripping her pants apart to the point they couldn't be used.

Violet sat up once her pants were pulled off. She watched her pants get torn to shreds by two wolves and their sharp teeth. She didn't study wolves very much, but she never knew wolves to behave in such a bizarre manner. She turned to the other wolf that stood at the entrance of the den, merely staring at her. She had a feeling that these wolves did not want her to leave anytime soon. At the very least, no human would be able to see her in her predicament. "Fine, you guys got my pants off. Now what?"

With the pants torn heavily, the two wolves tossed it aside, seeming content with her destroyed legwear. The two wolves then went to Violet's shirt. Each grabbed onto one side, and they tried to pull it off over her head, ripping the shirt with their teeth in the process.

Violet pulled away, but it just caused her shirt to rip more. It was one thing to take off her pants, but she wondered why the wolves wanted her naked. She didn't have anything underneath her clothes but her body, she was pretty confident she didn't have any 'meat' smells on her. Plus, any time an animal wanted to eat or bite a person, they normally did so through the clothes, not rip the clothes off the person! "If you want me to undress, just stop pulling my clothes off and I'll take everything off myself!" she shouted.

The wolves suddenly stopped lightly growling. They stopped pulling at her shirt. They gently opened their mouths enough to let go of Violet's shirt, and stepped back with a light whimper, as if they were dogs that had just been scolded.

Violet was stunned at how the wolves reacted. "I..." she looked into the eyes of one of them. She couldn't deny that the animals in this zoo seemed to have a greater intelligence than other animals she had seen, even the most intelligent dogs. She noticed the small glint in the wolf's eyes, and it made her wonder just how much they understood her. She was tempted to ask them more, curious as to how much they were capable of understanding, and following orders, although she had told them she would undress if they stopped. "A promise is a promise...I guess." She reached down, and pulled off her shirt to reveal her bra that matched her panties in color. Her breast size was nothing spectacular, a B cup. She took off her shoes and socks to reveal her clean feet, and then her bra and underwear. She tossed all of her clothes onto her torn pants, and revealed her naked body to the wolves. "Is this what you all wanted?"

The wolves suddenly let out a bark, partially in unison. All three of them wagged their tail from happiness. One of them moved up to her side and nudged her, as if they were trying to roll her over onto her belly, as she was currently sitting naked on her butt.

Violet was anything but amused at the wolves. She felt more annoyed by what they wanted, but she obeyed the wolf that was nudging her. Something deep down in her head told her to obey him, that this wolf in particular should get what he wanted. She rolled onto her stomach, and then got on her hands and knees to be roughly the same height as the wolves were. "What is it you three want with me?" she looked between all three wolves, all of whom kept looking at her with curious eyes.

The wolf that nudged her earlier almost seemed to grin wolfishly. The wolf moved behind her, and put his nose directly between her legs briefly, letting her feel the warm moist sensation, and feel his breathing. It was short lived though, as soon the wolf got right on top of her, mounting her as if he wanted to mate her.

Violet felt the nose up against her bare shaven vagina, and she let out a sharp gasp. It felt so strange to feel a nose up against her, and then the warm breath that came out of the wolf's nostrils, yet at the same time, it felt pleasurable too. "I shouldn't be...I mean..." she hesitated to speak, and also move. The hesitation was all that wolf needed. She felt the wolf climb on top of her, and the wolf's furry underbelly. She was afraid to stay, but she was far more afraid to move out from underneath what she now knew was a 'him'.

The wolf that got on top of her ignored her comments. Already, Violet could tell this wolf was ready and eager. Its warm pulsing canine cock already unsheathed. The wolf inched forward, and slowly penetrated her human vagina. No sooner than the wolf's cock had entered Violet's cunt, than Violet began to change. Gray fur began to sprout on Violet's skin, starting from her crotch, and slowly creeping up her torso, and down her legs.

Violet felt hot; she felt aroused. She also felt strange. She swore she could hear the sounds of bones crunching and squishing from behind her, but she couldn't turn her head back fully without seeing the wolf atop of her. Part of her also felt humiliated to be mounted by a wolf, but at the same time...it felt right. As if this wolf had the authority to mate with whatever and whoever he wanted. As if this wolf atop of her were her...alpha.

The wolf moved his cock deep within Violet's vagina. Bit by bit, not just Violet's skin changed with growing fur, but her insides shifted and altered, starting with her very cunt to accept his wolf cock all the easier. Each hump accelerated the changes in her body just a bit more.

Violet's toes and fingers merged into paws, except for her thumbs which shifted upwards slightly to become the dewclaws. Her big toes entirely vanished. Bones cracked and twisted in her legs and spine, preventing her from ever getting up on four legs easily again. Her breast shrank, but extra sets of nipples grew in. Her body still felt so hot, but she was beginning to get into the mating more and more. Her tongue stuck out as it flattened and grew. "Oh...oh yes..." she whispered quietly to herself. She didn't want to admit how good it felt aloud. She wasn't eager to tell him to stop either.

The pair continued while the two other wolves, one male and one female, watched with perked ears. Violet's ears turned triangular and grew as perked as the other wolves. Her face pushed out into a muzzle, her teeth fell out and were quickly replaced by sharp canine teeth, every second she was more and more of a wolf until, by the time the alpha wolf on top of Violet came into her and knotted the pair together, Violet looked almost exactly like the other wolves. She had become a new addition to the wolf exhibit, the same exhibit that now locked back up just as mysteriously as it had unlocked itself earlier.

Violet panted heavily, letting out a light whine of pleasure as her alpha came into her. She knew what she had become, but she felt thrilled about it. No more had she needed to worry about a human life. Now she could live a simple life in the zoo with her alpha, and inevitably, a litter of pups for her to birth. She tilted her head, and gave her new alpha a wet, happy lick with her flat wolf tongue.
