I walked with Keera through the tall woods, our journey had taken us far north, deep into wolven territory. She was in only her fur during the summer day, while I wore only a pair of trousers and boots in the heat. We were told to make this journey and seek a blessing from a shaman before our wedding, the wish of a new friend. Afterwards I would finally meet Keera's parents in her village before the ceremony.

We carried our basic luggage over our backs, enough for the long trip. The carriage dropped us off before we had to set off on foot, this shaman was well off the normal paths. The journey was tiring but the old wolf Garris was very serious about us making this visit. I wanted to honor the wish of the aging wolven I had helped less than a week ago.

Walking for several hours we reached a cave in a long rocky cliff, it was adorned with hanging trinkets, painted markings and strips of cloth covering the entrance. This wolven world was foreign to me, so I let Keera take the lead.

“Mystic Teegrun, we approach seeking your console." Keera announced into the primitive home.

We heard shuffling before the curtain was opened. There stood a hunched white wolven. He was in only his mussy fur adorned by several layers of feathers, beads and strips of leather. He leaned on a long walking stick to support his frail form. His nose lifted as he investigated us. His eyes unfocused.

“Interesting, why do you seek me out?" Spoke the aged wolf.

“We are preparing for our wedding, we heard you may offer a blessing before our union." Keera continued.

“A peculiar couple… With an ordinary request, I can oblige." Smiled the old wolven, showing his worn teeth.

“We were sent by Garris to meet you." I added.

“Oh yes? Still alive then?" Teegrun replied, leaning on his walking stick.

“Yes, though he was injured. But he is recovering well, he is taken care of in the city." I said hoping to reassure him.

“Always the dangerous one, I may outlive him still!" cackled the wolven as he gestured us inside.

We entered the cave, a simple living space sprawled across the entrance. The curtain fell behind us as the whole area was plunged into darkness, it was a little unnerving to see the faint outlines of the cave disappear into the gaping void stretching far deeper into the cavern. I knew my human eyes couldn't peer into the darkness as well as Keera's.

“I hope that's for me." smiled the shaman as his head swiveled to Keera.

“Oh yes, a gift for you." Keera said as she drew a large cheese block from her pack. We had brought several on our journey as gifts, a gourmet favorite from the city.

Teegrun quickly took the offering and brought his nose to it, greatly pleased by the aroma. The treat was left on a shelf before a small torch was offered to me.

“Human, take this, I never need it." Teegrun said, his unfocused eyes now clearly blind.

With my flintbox I lit the oil soaked torch and started the journey into the dark cave. I stepped along with Keera behind the old wolven as he made his practiced journey down the rocky path, feeling with his walking stick.

The torchlight burned dim, but still danced off the walls as we traveled. I held onto Keera, stepping carefully through the rough cave floor as she helped guide me. Going deeper in the cave, small offerings, scratchings and paintings littered the walls as we passed. This place must have been used over many generations. We traveled slowly as our guide led us onward into the earth.

We finally reached what looked like the end of the path as Teegrun turned to us.

“We are here, Sit and we can begin."

There was a space on the ground among the rock, surrounded with many small stones and wooden carvings scattered around the ring. I felt cold, my skin covered with goosebumps as we settled into the cool dark air of the deep cave. Keera was unfazed as she kneeled down on her paws and relaxed while I huddled cross legged into the dirt.

Before us was a small used firepit, I laid the clean burning torch down in the ashes. The light was low but enough for me to see our surroundings.

We watched as Teegrun gathered various objects from crude shelving and sat before us. His boney knees stood tall as he shifted and collected the objects before him. Keera had said this visit may seem strange to me. I had little knowledge of wolven customs, but I was curious to what was in store for us, so deep in the earth.

“It has been a long time since a human dared to enter this place." Smiled the old wolven, flashing his dull, worn teeth.

“I have never actually been underground before." I admitted.

“Ah yes… Wrapped in the earth we might hear her voice, feel her embrace, tremble against her power." The shaman spoke, echoing slightly in the long cave.

I shifted, admittedly a little nervous. I felt very out of place. Yet I could see Keera, smiling at my side and could know there was no danger here for me.

Teegrun finished grinding something in his small bowl as he turned his attention to us.“ Fear not human, even you are a child of the earth mother. All who come seeking something shall find it if their heart is honest."

I thought of trying to introduce myself as more than 'human' but I realized it didn't really matter, this old shaman didn't care for anything as trivial as a name.

“Do you know what you seek?" the shaman spoke again.

“We seek a blessing for our marriage, that we may spend the rest of our years together." I replied.

“Yes, perhaps there is more..." he trailed off, going back to his task.

Teegrun continued his work, many strong smelling powders and liquids mixing together for some ritual I was about to be a part of.

I looked over to Keera who sat patiently at my side. She said she wasn't really sure what to expect here. Shamans served as story tellers and bringers of good fate for the village. Many would come to them seeking guidance with their lives or ask for good fortune before important events, just as we were doing now. Their specific methods and rituals were not entirely known by many wolven, they often worked in private.

Many even said they could weave magic, to tap into the world and change it. Growing up I heard of cackling witches, hexing sorcerers and other dangerous characters that wield arcane powers. Yet very few could claim to witness such things, I never really believed any of the stories after I grew old enough to question them. I just hoped for some form of good luck, if that was even possible.

Finishing his work the shaman looked down at the wooden bowl in his lap. With a satisfied grin he tossed the bowl upward sending a shower of the strange powder raining down over all three of us. The scent seemed overwhelming as the stuff settled into my hair and skin, I wondered what significant smells were hidden from my nose.

Teegrun leaned forward. “Now, You wish for a blessing, that you may find joy in one another even many decades from now."

The shaman reached and with a shaky paw held a long bone forward, intricate dark etchings covered its surface. Keera reached and grabbed one side of the bone. Following her lead I took hold of the other end as the shaman sat back, leaving us with the bone between us.

“You must be ready to answer, search deep for what you truly want from life, now will be the time to ask."

“Can you perform.. magic?" I asked tentatively.

Teegrun laughed as he reared back, grabbing some more trinkets from behind him.

“No… no creature can… But there are spirits, powers that can perform miracles."

The shaman continued. “I am a guide, I can only show you the door. Then you must have the courage to knock, and just maybe, it will open." He spoke low, letting the significance of the revelation sink into us.

Teegrun folded his long legs inward after laying out small objects made of wood bone and grass. His arms spread wide as he breathed deeply. Closing his eyes.

“Now, let your body relax.." His volume lowering into a calming tone.

Me and Keera both followed suit, our eyes closed and lungs breathing in long and slow. The strong scent of the powder still permeated the air around us. I could feel my crossed legs and bottom relaxing against the dirt as I let apprehension drain from me.

“Focus on your breath, your body. Simply let the air fill your lungs, then release." Teegrun continued to instruct.

I followed the guidance, letting my breathing form a steady pattern, Keera's own breathing matching mine as the cave seemed to grow louder. Without the mortar the pestle or motions of the shaman I could hear every small sound echo through the cave. Moisture dripping somewhere, reverberating off the rock. The breathing of the two wolven around me. Keera's familiar, graceful voice even evident in her gentle breath. While Teegrun's gruffer breath was slow and steadied.

“Focus on the earth, feel yourself within it. The dirt, rock and life above, around and below. You are one with the earth."

I felt at ease, just listening to the faint steady dripping of the cave, and even a slight wind blowing against the covered entrance many meters back up the cave. Above was the hot summer sun, but here the cool crisp air of the cave filled my lungs as my breath slowed.

“Hear the voice of the earth mother, let her embrace you. She calls to us all."

My breathing had gotten very slow, focusing on my lungs and the air within them. My body was relaxing even further, feeling almost as if I would fall to sleep. I still felt the bone held in my hand, I was keenly aware of every slight motion of Keera through the object. We sat listening to the near silence for, I do not know how long. It seems my perception of time was slipping from me.

“When you are ready, you shall awake."

I felt my body grow lighter, almost as if I were floating, yet I still held the bone and felt my feet on the dirt, My mind was playing tricks on me. I let out another long breath as I thought about Keera at my side, what was she hoping for?

The world around me seemed to shift, ground, sky, earth, Keera. All things moving, drifting before being set back again when I focused on them, was I going mad?

Suddenly my hand held nothing, my legs surrounded by only the air as I fell forward very quickly.

My chin hit the ground roughly as I was shocked out of my trance. My body lay flat, a mild ache filling me from the landing. My eyes looked forward, I saw grass and large trees, night was falling. What happened? Where was I?

I groaned and tried to stand.

My limbs strained to lift my body, failing to stand myself up, but yet… I was on my feet. I looked down at the ground below. A pair of large brown paws pushed firmly into the grass. I stared in shock as I lifted one of the paws. My weight shifted as I looked beyond my long muzzle to my furry appendage.

Fear gripped me as I looked down at my whole body. I was a four legged wolf, brown tawny fur covering every part of me. Large pawpads held me above the ground on all fours. My large mouth panted as I felt the strange weight of my head and jaw. My feral heart beat faster as a mild panic set in, I was not myself anymore.

Could this be a dream? I felt every motion, I even smelled the breeze that passed over my nose, it all felt very real. I leaned forward and sniffed into the air, my mind was suddenly alight with memories, sensations and words. I smelled pine trees, the grass, traces of birds and other animals that made their home here, everything.

I looked further ahead of me, towering trees filled the horizon, mountains rolling and jutting out from a massive forest. I had never seen a place like this before, my nose told me it was ancient.

The wind shifted as another scent hit my sensitive nose, Keera. My breathing grew heavy as I turned to where Keera had sat next to me before. In my initial panic I had not even noticed the wolfess that now sat on her haunches beside me. Her coat was gray, markings unmistakably those of Keera. Her scent was familiar, but there was so much more to it.

We locked eyes, a mutual look of shocked disbelief between us. She reached out with an awkward paw, planting it on my smooth shoulder. I felt the large paw sink into my fur before I returned the gesture, waving for a moment then landing on her shoulder. It felt so strange, my hand, no… my paw touching into Keera's own changed form, this couldn't be just a dream.

We sat for a moment, eyes locked.

“Keera… what is this..." I tried to speak, but only a plaintive whine escaped my lips. A voice frightening and unrecognizable to my new sensitive ears. I lost my grip on Keera as I felt dizzy, head dipping to the ground as my ears lay flat. This was overwhelming, the sounds seemed so loud and strange, odd scents continued to invade my nose, filling me with information I did not know how to sort. Why did this happen to us? I panted and whimpered into the ground, not knowing what to do. Were we going to be stuck like this?

I felt a familiar muzzle and tongue lap at my cheek, my fur pushed back as the warm appendage slowly worked to sooth me. Weakly my head rose as I looked up at Keera, still pinning my ears back.

Keera's face held a simple smile as her tongue panted aloof, her eyes with a sense of wonder. She faced this strange dream with optimism, and she wanted to share it with me.

Looking into her eyes I felt my trembling body relax. This was indeed a fantastic vision, something to be experienced, not feared.

I inched closer, letting my broad nose quickly sniff as I graced her cheek. Her pure scent traveled through my snout and seemed to warm my whole body. My nose pushed further as I stood, needing to smell her closer. Diving into her fluffy neck I felt her fur pushing against my wet nose. It was like nothing I had ever experienced before. I could not even understand all that I was smelling, but it was filling me with a sense of comfort and curiosity.

Keera's head affectionately pushed into mine, our furry cheeks brushing smoothly as our muzzles hung open. Our canine heads continued to dance as we pushed upward, necks twisting into one another as our fur combed together and gave an incredible tactile sensation I had never felt before.

My large lungs let out a slow relaxed breath as I felt my fears slipping away. Whatever was happening Keera was really here with me now, I felt it.

Me and Keera circled into one another, pushing and rubbing as we gave low grunts and happy pants to one another. I let my tongue flick out, seemingly hard to control as I slapped lightly against her open happy muzzle. I was starting to become used to this body as I embraced Keera in a whole new way.

Keera jumped back, crouching, tongue hanging from her slack muzzle. I was feeling invigorated, my own long tongue panted out the side of my huge mouth without care.

Out of the corner of my eye I suddenly saw motion behind me. Alarmed I turned my head, seeing only a raised tail wagging back and forth in the air. Amazed by the sight I felt the urge to move. I leapt and spun on the spot. Feeling my large paws smack into the ground as I jumped high into the air, feeling this body spring and bounce delightfully. My own long tongue swung loose as I panted and spun like an excited pup, snapping at my new tail.

My excitement calmed as I looked at Keera. She suddenly bowed down, an excitement in her eyes before she sprinted away, daring me to follow. As I saw her familiar tail bouncing away my own legs gained traction and dashed forward to give chase.

Keera ran down a small hill into the trees. I followed along, feeling the wind brush back my sensitive whiskers. She was extremely fast, flying on long powerful legs into the trees. I reached and bounded forward as I gained speed and matched her efforts.

My lungs pumped hard as I flew across the forest floor. Kicking fallen leaves and dirt high into the air as we raced. We dodged between the trees as we ran, far swifter than our two legs could ever carry us before. It was one of the most exhilarating things I had ever felt.

Finally I was only inches from her bobbing tail as we ran by a river. Sensing my proximity Keera skidded and spun about, she jumped back and tackled me as I leapt at her. Our four legged bodies rolling into the grass as we barked at one another. Jaws met and playfully nipped, snapping the others fur as we struggled playfully and lept about by the running water.

Our motions slowed as we stood face to face, jaws slack, It felt strange to open my mouth so wide. I saw a familiar need in Keera's eyes, she wanted to kiss me.

I tilted my head as our long jaws slid into one another. Our loose lips meshed as I felt Keera's long tongue push into my muzzle, and mine into hers. Warm mouths held our tongues as for the first time I was able to match her anatomy. I tasted her as we danced and slid around our combined jaws, tracing over smooth teeth and wet lips. Pulling back we licked wildly as our tongues slapped together. We whined at one another as the intensity grew. I licked around Keera's muzzle as she lapped at mine, tasting her fine fur as her scent still permeated through my mind, driving me on.

I let my nose lead down her body, smelling across her back and down to her haunches. I could sense even subtle variations in her body, traces of the dirt that clung to her fur, and now, something else.

Keera stood with a wide stance as my nose crept around her backside. As my cheek slid against Keera's furry rump her tail quickly hiked into the air. I sniffed her presented backside, taking in her strong scent.

My mind took in the new sensation, a pure hearty aroma of my wolven lover and a musky invitation that was starting to make my heart beat faster. The scent filled my snout as shivers went through my body.

I leaned in closer and found her wide vulva, the flesh was heavy, pushing out from her furry rump. My tongue quickly covered the supple flesh, licking over the smooth puffy lips as I tasted her like I never have before. Keera's stance grew firm as she panted, letting me explore her in earnest.

Her taste was invigorating, I felt it coursing through my body bringing a strong drive to the forefront of my mind. It told me one important thing, she was ready, she was fertile. My lover would take my pups.

I was suddenly very aware of my canine member as it grew heavy and swung below my belly. I continued to lick as her canine vulva opened and flexed at my attention. The excitement gave a unique sensation between my legs as I felt a tightness at the base. I pulled back for a moment, there was little time for foreplay.

Keera stood firm, legs spread as her wet vulva pulled upwards, tail pulled hard to the side, legs spread wide. My gaze held on her feral body as I circled around and stopped behind her raised tail, a small bit of drool hitting the grass in anticipation. Keera held her canine head high over her presented rear, eyes straining to look back to me as she begged. Despite her strange form this was Keera through and through. I learned long ago that I need not hesitate when I was with her.

I listened to the urges and feral voice that gave this body life, telling me to step forward and claim her. My snout pushed through waves of her warming scent as my head rose and forelegs gripped onto Keera's poised hips.

I pulled my long body up onto Keera as eager paws gripped around her belly. Our fur rubbed as I shifted and tried to find my footing, heavy sheathed member wobbling below. Keera still stared back, panting and pleading as she watched me mount her submissive body.

Focusing, my hips curled inward as my member peeked out into the cool air before missing its mark and brushing against warm fur. I wished for a moment I still had fingers to guide me in, but my rigid member pointed true as I shuffled back and tried again.

I was met with mild frustration as my canine member failed to find its target, my proving grew more desperate. I briefly felt myself brush against her hot lips before deflecting away, her body teased me over and over. Our new body shapes made this more difficult than usual, yet Keera stood patiently as my weight added to her own. I reared back, pulling up on her hips as I tried again.

My paws spread wide against the ground as they stood alongside Keera's own, our furry legs pushing into one anothers. The tapered tip of my member drove home as soft wet lips held my furry sheath, leting my slick erection sink into her as I slid out of my own flesh and deep into hers. A feral grunt escaped my muzzle as I felt the bulb at the base of my canine member briefly, slowly stretch my sheath before popping free and being embraced by Keera's hot lips. With mild effort my spine compressed further, squeezing my knot into her tight passage and coming to a stop within her clenching body. I felt her warmth on my groin even through thick fur as our hips met.

I suddenly twitched and squirted into Keera, my groin starting to throb with overwhelming pleasure. I felt my member grow longer and wider with every pulse, starting to lock inside of her hot embrace. I felt like I was cumming already, my mind was awash with orgasmic pleasure, feeling her hot flesh wrapping around me, pulling me deeper. I groaned as I felt her delicate flesh twitching in time with my pulses as more fluid shot into her. Yet Instead of signaling the end of our session my feral mind screamed to me, telling me to rut her hard, to not relent as I bred my bitch.

My paws dug into Keeras furry stomach as I pulled hard against her hips. Raising her body and plunging deeper into her. I quickly reared back feeling my swelling knot pull her pulsing flesh with it. Another firm squirt released before I slammed in harder, spine compressing as I started to hump into Keera with great speed. The pace was explosive as I accelerated, making short rapid circles with my hips, pulling back Keera's tight flesh with each cycle, hearing her feral panting grow louder below me. The night air was filled with heavy breathing as my hips pumped into Keera, the new wild sensation filling both our minds as Keeras hips rolled back into mine as I continued to grind my swelling cock inside of her. We bred without pause as my tongue slid loose and panted into the night air, this was primal, visceral, feral.

Jolts of pure exhilaration splashed in my mind at every firm tug of my knot. I panted and stared wide eyed as I continued to squirt and grow within her. My short thrusts were rapid and powerful, hitting hard into Keera's fluffy hips as my paws strained to pull her further into my groin. Keera struggled to stand firm against my power, stumbling forward before regaining her footing as my pounding hips followed behind, never giving her a moment of respite.

The world seemed to fade away as I stared out above my feral lover. My mind focused only on the new, amazing sensation I was feeling. Her lips bulged out lewdly as I rapidly ground my member inside of her, my short thrusts echoing across her whole body as she held her head low and drooled into the dirt. No other thoughts could enter as my mind was consumed with orgasmic heat and animal drive.

The pleasure only got greater as my erection neared its peak, locking tight within Keera's secure heat as her flesh followed my heavy, knotted member, gripping me like a vice. She squeezed me so tight I grew light headed, yet my hips only became more desperate as my momentum reached a fevered pitch. My hips were a whirlwind of fur as I labored to keep my swollen cock moving within the ever tightening hold. Her muscles gripped harder around my knot, pulling me deeper as nerves pulsed in ecstasy.

A low whine and gasp escaped as I felt a sudden, crushing tightness in my groin. The orgasmic pleasure I was awash in sharply focused and surged as my legs stiffened and trembled in their motions. My spine continued to hump as my feet danced, no longer holding my weight on the ground. The tight grip on Keera pulled me into her back as I groaned aloud, my foot paws kicking into the air. I felt the deep recesses of this new body release as the pulsing of my member intensified. It seeming to erupt from deep within to splash and squirt into Keera as our hips bounced in their lock. I was wide eyed, in awe at what I felt, Keera hips held me aloft as my tied member did its work and seeded her.

I did not even try to speak, I only grunted over and over. The pleasure was unbelievable as my hips continued to thrust and shake on top of Keera who gasped in her own pleasure, her back arching high, lifting me up.

I could feel only my pulsing canine cock, grunting and whining as my long face pushed down into Keera's neck. Muzzle and tongue drooled into Keera's fur as I hugged her body in desperation.

My feet once again scraped grass then found purchase as I strained to plunge deeper, still feeling every part of myself within her tight hold. The pleasure refused to yield, my cock continuing to pulse and send jolts of carnal joy through my mind, again and again. My hips finally came to a rest as my motions grew sporadic, I was thoroughly spent. Between and within us I still felt my essence pouring into Keera, one quick spurt at a time.

My mind returned from its pleasurable haze, now relegated to a slow, blissful throb as I heaved and tried to gather my lost breath.

I was suddenly aware of a strange new sensation. In every tiny motion I could feel my intimate connection with Keera, a slight shift of her weight echoed through me as we both struggled to piece together the moment. Some part of me commanded to turn about, to get back to the ground and finish our breeding.

Rearing back I struggled to lift my leg over Keera's rear as I flipped about. We both winced for a moment as my motion pulled hard at our union, stretching our sensitive genitals. Finally all four paws were on the ground as I struggled to relax from the exertion. It was strange to feel my cock flipped backwards as I stayed locked in Keera. I was still pulsing and filling her as we panted loudly, feeling our tight physical lock.

This was a true tie, I couldn't even imagine what It was like before this. Our bodies felt as one, every motion felt by us both. It took a few more moments until we were able to settle down, just feeling our combined bodies. Feeling needy, both of our canine heads craned back to look to one another. Keera looked weary, eyelids low as she panted. She tried to lick and reach around as we shuffled. Our tie bent carefully as our bodies struggled to turn to one another. With great care we eventually met, Keera's warm tongue lashed at mine. We rejoiced, relishing one another's intimate attention. We were left panting shortly after, our bodies feeling tired as our union strained between us. Satisfied by our joyful greeting we turned back, standing rear to rear again.

I stared down at the ground as spittle dripped from my open maw. I never stopped feeling it, the exotic, rhythmic pulsing of my loins as more fluid pumped into Keera. Our union was solid, there was no way to separate us. It felt like this may never end, that we would be locked together for the rest of our lives, and in a way, we would.

We were lovers, mates, husband and wife, life partners. Whichever of the numerous titles that we might hold with one another. Keera meant so much to me, there was no other I would wish to share my time, my life with. Tears would fall if they could, whatever this was, a dream, a vision, a deluded hallucination, it only reminded me of what me and Keera held. I looked up at the large trees that loomed close. A distant mountain and moon rising above a clouded sky, it was all beautiful.

I do not know how long we stood, my mind tracing over my life and what bizarre chain of events had brought me here. My pulsing member finally slowed and ceased. I felt a slow slide as I softened and slipped free. I groaned as I felt my aching, fluid drenched member flip back into place below my belly, dripping in the cool air.

I felt my body become my own again as I shuffled, feeling my still heavy member dangling below my groin. I stepped about, feeling as my slick organ slowly began to slide back into my sheath. I felt so sensitive as I panted and paced, kicking my feet slightly at the feeling. The rest of my member retreated as I arched my back, feeling relieved to have it all safely tucked away once again. I looked over and saw Keera licking at her dripping vulva. I could not fathom how much I must have left within her.

I moved forward and licked at Keera's forehead as she struggled to reach around to herself. At my touch a quick tongue slapped my chin as we rose and kissed our long tongues together again. We were our own entities once more as I licked her face and pushed my body into Keera's. Our long forms aligned as we rubbed into one another, our weight leaning as our paws raised from the ground. Furry necks twisted around as sloppy tongues panted and slapped at one another in jubilation.

It felt so pure, it was just us below this strange sky as raw passion guided our actions. The connection we held felt even more honest as our feral forms primitively danced with one another.

Our bodies grew tired as I felt the world fade slightly. Keera laid into the grass along the river as she curled her legs under her body, letting out a long contented sigh. I laid behind her, letting my long nose stick into her neck fur, my favorite spot.

I breathed deep of Keera's pure scent as we drifted off. Listening to the babbling river as our weary bodies rested and our minds drifted away.

My body felt weightless, moving through the ether of the dream. Slowly I felt the world assemble around me, scratching dirt and dripping water echoed through my ears as I suddenly fell forward.

My hard chin hit the dirt as my eyes flew open. The dim torch still lit the rocky cave as I saw the shaman poised before me, a satisfied grin on his wide lips. To my side I heard the rattling of a large bone dropping to the ground, slipped from my grasp.

A hand flew to my face, my muzzle was gone, my fingers bent and gripped at my command. I was myself again.

My body ached as I sat up. I was bewildered, It was as if no time had passed, the world was just as I left it.

My head turned to look towards Keera, she too had fallen down, brushing dirt off her jaw as she sat up.

She looked my direction as our eyes met, staring in disbelief as we stood still. Slowly Keera reached out her paw, letting it fall on my shoulder, her eyes pleading to me. I glanced down, remembrance shaking me as my hand raised and fell to her shoulder.

Keera and I beamed at one another as the confirmation hit us both. That was not just a dream, we really did share it. Smiling my other arm reached up as we turned and hugged, heads pressed into one another as we embraced, her fur once again pressing into my skin.

We pulled back as both of our heads turned up to our host, who leaned forward with pert ears and an eager smile.

“Mystic… was that… was that real?" Keera tentatively asked.

“Yes, and no. The true nature of a shared dream is elusive. But it always has a purpose." He said proudly, seeming to be overjoyed that the communion was a success.

Keera turned to me, eyes wide as a realization hit us both. Her paw gently reached down to her belly.

“Because we… Does it mean… " Keera stuttered, straining for what we both hoped was true.

“You would not be the first… A gift, a blessing." Teegrun bowed his scraggly head, smiling reverently at the words.

I sat stunned, staring at Keera. My beautiful wolfess, we would have the one thing we thought was impossible.

My hand reached and joined Keera's as we held one another, trembling slightly at the revelation.

I turned to our shaman “Thank you…" Then I let my head turn downward as I closed my eyes “thank you..." I uttered the simple words to whatever power had brought this blessing to us. Keera too bowed her head as we offered respect for what we feel could never be repaid.

As we sat silently, a strange realization came to me, I could still smell Keera's pure scent wafting into my nose. The powder that lightly covered our bodies, now smelled of many interwoven natural parts, it was unreal. I stayed quiet, unsure how to process what was happening, if it was actually happening.

After we calmed from the overwhelming experience, we returned to the surface. We hugged the old wolf as he chuckled at us. The importance of the day swelling into laughter and joy as we said our farewells to the old shaman. We gathered our simple supplies and headed onwards to the village. Me and Keera strode hand in paw still smiling. I looked around at the trees, memories of what it felt like to run swiftly along the ground and feel the grass against my paws. Sensations that would stay with me for a lifetime.

As we walked I sniffed the air, I could still smell the world around me, scents on the wind and being brought up from the dense forest floor. This was not a fading illusion, it seemed there was one more gift I had received from this adventure.

Keera was in disbelief when I told her, offering her paw as I sniffed and reaffirmed what I was smelling. It was difficult to put what I was experiencing into words. While many scents were recognizable, they held so many intricacies and layers that they seemed overwhelming. Dozens of strange new layers of scent even on Keera were foreign to my nose.

Keera struggled to help me understand what I was experiencing. As we walked, she fetched sticks, rocks, anything that held an interesting scent. Passing the objects back and forth she helped me identify and describe the new information that was now streaming through my nose. It was like learning a whole new language, so many subtleties my normal human nose had never known before.

It was exhilarating, I always struggled to understand how wolven saw the world through their noses and now I could see the world with a whole new dimension.

Our lives were going to change more than we could ever imagine, and even though it came as a shock to us, deep down it's what we really wished for. We would have a family of our own, our pups.
