Snoqualmie falls-chase (54)

Coella swims the lake and climbs out shivering. Even Though she has the best outdoor clothes on it isn't going to keep her warm or alive. Her concern is hypothermia too. She moves farther away from the lake and then stops. The woman sighs and then strips. She wrings her clothes out and ties them in a knotted bundle like a pack. She only has her survival axe and back knife.

Coella rolls her shoulders and pops her neck. It has been six months since her last time. She sighs again. There is a slight twinge of pain as she feels her body change and grow fur. Coella rises up on her feet and stands just over six feet now. Her senses heighten even more now that she is in her other form.

It was a family curse that borders on sheer ridiculousness. Supposedly an ancestor upset a Druid and a curse was placed. The curse only traveled through the females. It wasn't so ridiculous on the first change...a were being is just that, a were creature not in control of everything.

Coella moves out at a steady pace down the mountain. She thinks there might be a cabin or two down farther, she had seen some coming up the switchbacks.

The woman's heart races... Aizawa is a werewolf...the werewolf from last night.

If He finds her in this form, it would be certain death. Coella figures her form is not to his liking and he would attack with deadly force. Nope! She has to stay ahead of him and out run him to safety...

It takes an hour to gather a couple survival items and traverse down to the spot Coella came out of the lake. He has to take the slow route versus the short route. The girl got lucky and Shouta isn't feeling lucky at the moment. If anything, luck is not running in his favor, as of lately.

This young woman is a big problem. She has merit and degrees versus little scared girls from college and out of college that went hiking on the weekend.

Why hadn't he left this one alone?

She had said big game hunter and her arsenal of normal guns, she packed. She had shown backbone and had riot gear to back it up with.

Fuck!

That just makes her more enticing to him. Shouta hated what had become of him. He was forced to give up being an underground hero and teacher. He was forced to move to America so he could live in relative seclusion.

He was a loner for the most part but his wolf mind now was putting the need for a mate to the front of his mind. The head on his shoulders should be thinking not the one down low. Aizawa has prided himself on control and logic. The werewolf side is not inclined to that type of nature.

Coella has almost literally 'fallen' in his lap when she came in the diner. She is a good challenge, a worthy hunt, a great catch and finally...an excellent mate. Only thing better is if she is a werewolf but he would have known by scent right away.

Perhaps another supernatural being?

But what?

Aizawa reaches the spot the cryptozoologist came ashore. His sharp eyes finds where she stepped out of her boots and took her clothes off by the flatten plants. Wait a minute... That doesn't seem right. His eyes look around in a 360 direction and then settle back on the crushed plants.

She stripped her clothes off?

Did she hit her head?
