Free to be me [Licentra]

[Drake Mathew Arcade]

Mighty paws pounded the earth as he ran. He didn’t have a place in mind to go he just went with it. This was the first time he had changed since he had met Licentra and Kat. He two favourite ladies. He was suppose to be meeting Licentra later on today so he thought that he would go for a ran, he had enough time to stretch his legs, feel the wind in his fur and whipping against his face. Licentra was pregnant with his child and he wasn’t sure how often he would get to shift once the baby was born. It wasn’t like it was a bad thing as he was so excited about being a father. He was running around and rolling around on the hills. The smell of other Lycans was in the air but the scents were old, they hadn’t been here in a long time. Drake and Licentra had a connect now that they had been together, he knew where she was and she knew where he was at all times. So if anything was to happen or if she needed to find him she would be able to.

Running down the hill he found a few trees, slowing down he soon came to a stop near the tree and he sniffed the bark. Scrunching up his nose he walked around and lifted his leg and urinated on the trees. He then walked back around and sniffed them again. Much better. Bounding off away from the trees he rolled in the grass and finally lied down on his back his legs sprawled out. He breath was fast and his chest moving up and down. He hadn’t had this much fun in this form in a long time. Usually every time he shifted the urge to destroy everything took over, but not this time having Licentra in his life has changed his perspective on life. He was happy just to have fun and enjoy his time as a wolf. Don’t get him wrong or anything, he was still a hard ass killing machine, but only when it was necessary. Like is someone threatened his family like that vampire he wouldn’t hesitate to kill them.

Drake is a large wolf, about two sizes bigger then the average wolf. His pelt is black and his eyes are a few shades darker then his human blue. Even though he is a large wolf he can avoid being seen and is very quiet, his stealth is one of his highest traits. Lying there on the grass he closed his large dark blue eyes and felt sleep coming on which was strange as he rarely ever slept when he was in his shifted form. It was something he had taught himself to do, merely because he never wanted to be caught unaware. But this time he didn’t know he could stay awake. The day wasn’t hot and the sun wasn’t out, he just wanted to sleep. A few moments later he drifted off and was asleep. Even though he was asleep there was still a part of his brain that was awake. Never in his life whether he was in human form or in his wolf form, he never was ever truly asleep. A technique that took years to master, it wasn’t an easy task, especially being so comfortable.

[Licentra Williams]

Licentra pressed a hand to her bulging stomach as she was in her third term of pregnancy. The six month mark had just slipped by having been a bit of a challenge for her, wondering how normal human mothers had handled situations like these. Her dear daughter, Kat, had just slipped into bed for reading and then a nap and now she was laying there waiting for Drake. She could only imagine how the thrill of being able to run swiftly, the wind streaking around you, the sounds of nature lurking around every corner. She desperately missed the feeble things that fed the wolf nature in her. Part of her wondered if she could just go for a quick run in her wolf form, but she was concerned that this might effect the child. Although, if the child was born of a natural werewolf bloodline, then not only would she be protected by the healing ability of Licentra’s body, but also by its own ability.

The thought of this was almost fascinating to Licentra, but that’s not what she was considering most now. Slowly, she rose to her feet, her movements a bit more labored because she was with child. Silently she crept towards the back door and slipped out, setting the door to be locked and then shifted, a white coat erupting, the hair a bit more shaggy and longer since she last transformed. Her hair had grown over the past few months also increasing the amount of hair she had as a wolf. Blue eyes now searched the forest as though it was a foreign place to her. Something felt different since the last time she had been in this lovely home. Her focus slowly edged away from this stranger of a place to Drake’s husky scent that she now tracked and she began running along the soft musk that lined it.

Finally, she came across him under a shaded region and was laughing on the inside and very quietly came to sniff him and licked his neck. You know, you are so weird, dear. She thought to him being able to share thoughts now that they were on the same level. Part of her was curious as to how long he had just been laying out here and if he would even wake up. She stared down at him with her calm studious eyes, her lightly built frame hovering over him slightly as she had one paw on the opposite side of him, planted into the earth. She now licked across his cheek to see if he would wake up, whimpering softly because she wanted to spend some time with him again. Their lives have been busy lately and neither of them had had a relaxing few months. The worry of the baby and of how they were going to raise Kat and even of their relationship.

Part of her hoped that he wouldn’t be mad with her for having come to find him and to enjoy herself. She knew he was very concerned about how she acted with a little person inside of her and she couldn’t help but agree that she needed some guidance when having to think for a whole different person.

[Drake Mathew Arcade]

Flashes of his past danced across his eye lids and he felt as though he could be happy with the memories. They were before he left his family and they were good memories of helping his little brother do his home work and playing hide and seek in the yard. He missed his family but he knew he would never be able to see them again. He knew that they would never forgive him for what he did to them. All he wanted was to see his brother again, see how he has grown and see what he has become. As much as he wanted to see his brother talk to his brother he knew deep down inside that he would want to see or talk to Drake. Maybe he should just let it go and get on with his new life and enjoy the company of his new family.

Still sound asleep he hear Licentra’s voice, she was telling him that he was so weird, he knew that already but he loved it when she told him. It just reminded him that he was different from all the rest and it made him feel good that she still loved him and chose him over all the others. He moaned in his sleep as an image of Licentra popped in front of him, he watched her in his dream as she came in and licked his cheek, he loved her wolf form it was beautiful everything about her was beautiful. The urge to just run and play around with her in the long grass over whelmed him and his eyes flew open and the glare from the overcast sky stung them. He squinted a little bit gathering his vision again. He looked over and saw Licentra and smiled and looked back at the sky again. Only to have himself whipping his head back around to look.

She was really there he jumped up onto all fours excitedly and spun around in a full circle. What are you doing here, my love he said silently knowing that she would hear him. He was so excited that she was really there and not only in his dreams. He couldn’t believe he hadn’t awoken as soon as she came to be by his side. He must have been really asleep. Then a thought rushed over his mind and body, should she be shifting so far into the pregnancy? With this thought his couldn’t stop himself from shifting back in to his human form, wearing nothing but a ripped pair of boxers. He knew that a lot of shifters shifted back to their human form and was completely naked, but he was never like that. He always shifted back wearing his boxers. It was just something that made him different. He knelt down next to his lady and placed a hand on her muzzle, she really was so stunning.

[Licentra Williams]

Licentra laughed beneath her thoughts as he slowly came to his senses, having to do a double take upon first glance. Good evening, my love. She thought to him with a bit of a sensual tone as she came and brushes her muzzle against his because even in their wolf forms, they had ways of communicating the art of love itself. Licentra gazed at him, this having been the first time upon seeing him in his wolf form. He had a luscious black coat, a stronger yet lean build, frisky blue eyes that you could also find yourself lost in….She adored every piece of him, never even considering the thought that they could depart at some point. The chances of that were rather low on the account of the fact that they were having a child and they were quite pleased with each other. She licked his neck for a moment now and nuzzled her black nose into his soft fur that had the soft scent of musk as an undertone.

She began giggling again that he was so pleased to see her as she gazed at him now, a joyful gleam lingering in her eyes. Came to get some fresh air and find you, honey. She responded, his excitement only creating more for herself. Slowly, her eyes lids closed and opened as he transformed into a human confused. She began wondering what was going through her head and as he approached her she sat down on her haunches and leaned into his gentle touch and licked his arm. She whimpered softly as though expecting him to stay in his wolf form, but perhaps he was concerned over her and the baby’s safety again. She didn’t doubt that that might just be the case, but she couldn’t be sure. That was his nature, he was just a bit too quiet and mysterious to her, but that is part of the reason she fell in love with him.

Licentra’s quiet nature came to rest upon her as she just gazed up at his human form, her eyes gentle and beautiful as her ears pointed forward as if on a bit of more of an alert. She needed to be careful in case predators were lurking around. There was really only a few hours before sundown and once night spread across the woods, it was as though it became a new world to creatures like werewolves or vampires. Slowly, she layed down coming to rest her head on his leg, not wanting to move, but for them to stay like this for a while. A small rumble came to her chest in three small portions as though to say ‘I love you.’ He had become one of the closest things to her heart, maybe the closest thing. If she lost him, she would be forever broken from the inside out.

Drake smiled as Licentra came out to find him, he hadn’t been gone all that long and she was missing him already. Just like him he was missing her as well. He loved the relationship they had, it was so full of love and happiness. They were soon to be a family of four and everything was perfect. He had never known a Lycan to give birth so he wasn’t completely sure how the whole shifting whilst with child worked, he only hoped it didn’t have any effect on the baby. “Well I’m glad you found me” he said and he couldn’t keep the smile from his face. He truly was the luckiest man and wolf alive, not very many Lycans found love but when they did it was forever and completely unconditional.

Once changed back into his human form he lent down and touched Licentra on the muzzle. After touching her he knew that she couldn’t possibly be hurting her unborn child by changing form. She would know about it and so would he, he could sense that nothing was going on that shouldn’t be and he relaxed and decided to enjoy himself with his love instead of worrying all the time. He closed his eyes and a broad smile came across his lips as she came to rest her head on his legs. He loved her so much and he knew that she did to as the small growls from her throat indicated that. Sighing, he knew that it was time to have some fun and forget all their troubles and worries for one day and he got to his feet gently not to hurt Licentra as he did.

He looked down at her and smiled before quickly turning on his bare heel and running off in the other direction. After a few metres he leaped into the air and shifted quickly whilst still in the air, the sudden change cause what was left of his boxers with be ripped from his body and as he touched back down on the ground, the ripped material float down to the ground next to him. He looked back over to Licentra and let out a loud playful bark as to stay “Come one slow poke” and he took of again, wanting her to come after him and play with him. He was so full of energy and happiness he felt as though he could do this all day. He also realised that he would be completely naked if he shifted again, so he and Licentra would have to sneak back to the house in their wolf form later.

[Licentra Williams]

Licentra’s heart swelled at his words, knowing what he was feeling. At this stage in their lives and relationship, a strong connection was only growing between them. If one of them felt pain, the other would share that pain….If one of them was hungry, the other was too. They were on the same wavelength as you would say. “Me too.” She spoke to him, pleased that he also longed for her presence. There was always a part of her that had him in her mind, like an addicting drug that she could never even begin to think that she would forfeit. She was aware he was concerned about the baby in her womb, but she was positive that this baby would be fine considering it would be a pure blooded werewolf. Not to mention that Licentra, herself, was a strong werewolf herself and would not allow anything to happen to her small child.

Licentra leaned into his gentle touch and sighed softly as they rested there for a quiet moment which is something she favored about their relationship. She loved the tranquility that came with their characters and hoped that they could always share these small moments with each other and still be completely in sync with the other person. As he rose, she sat up again, watching him curiously and is confused about what he moved for. She whimpered softly in a way that meant come back, but she knew something had moved in him that instance because he seemed eager for something now as though he knew that the baby was going to be alright either way.

A smirk played on her face as he transformed and teased her. She rose to her heals, springing off of her heals and running far ahead of him hoping to catch him off guard because she was rather quick. Whose the slow poke now? She barked out at him mockingly. The wind that rushed through her luscious fur made her skin tingle and became rather refreshing. She had longed for this moment again, this free moment where she had never appreciated this so much before. She had taken it for granted and always has ever since she was young. She howled now out as though proclaiming how free she was, the resounding noise filling the empty spaces. Her muscles flexed with each stride, their shape in good condition and still strong and light. She made the ultimate tracker due to her meekness and stealthiness.

Drake’s heart pounded in his chest when she bounded off after him. He knew that this was forever, with all the problems he had in his past all the horrible things he did to people, it all didn’t seem to matter anymore, right now at this very moment he knew that everything was going to be alright and nothing was going to come between him and her, never ever. He would protect her and his child and Kat with his life. If it meant his life to save theirs then he would do it. He barked out loud when she asked who the slow poke? It was him at the moment and he didn’t care, he was just happy to be with her at this very moment.

“Catch me if you can” he said and took off in the other direction yelping and barking as he went. He had never felt this free and happy. He never wanted it to end. With a child on the way and one already at home that he now felt he loved like his own daughter. He really had no idea how he really felt about kid’s until he met Licentra and Kat. Usually he didn’t have any time for kids and didn’t really care all that much about him. After one last loud happy bark he flopped to the ground and gave a great sigh. This was the place he wanted to be right now, all he needed was his girl next to him and everything would be perfect. Nothing could ruin this moment for him, could it?

[Licentra Williams]

Nothing could break the bond that built and nothing felt so freeing right now. She had never truly run with another wolf until now and she thoroughly enjoyed this. There was nothing like being a part of nature, belonging to someone and planning on being there forever with them. That was part of what a pack of wolves was. They were closely knit people who could work together easily. Licentra honestly had not been able to run in a long time, so her breath came in heavier pants, jaw slightly dropped, warm pants coming from her mouth. Then, when she heard his last words, she stopped for a moment, dizziness coming over her but she slowly moved passed it, not thinking anything of it.

She bolted after him and growled playfully, jumping and tackling him to the ground with a howl. “Gotcha!” She barked out as she rolled around in the dirt for a moment, liking the feeling of being against the floor of the forest. She rose to her feet and felt dizziness come over her again as she made a soft, more serious whimper. “Drake, something isn’t ri—“ Licentra managed to mumble out before thudding to the ground softly, Her body recoiled into her human form, growing completely exposed to Drake, her eyes closed. Something went unexpected with her baby at that moment, having passed out. One must always know how happiness will always be brought down by something in this life. You just had highs and lows and that how it would forever remain.

Drake playfully barked at Licentra as she caught up to him and called out gotcha. He followed her lead and rolled around in the dirt for a while. He loved being able to do that and not feel as though there was something mentally wrong with him. Rolling around in the dirt was animal instinct and being have wolf made it okay to get dirty. He looked up at the sky for a moment just thinking how perfect this moment was, there was nothing that could ruin the happy mood he was in or the fun he was having with Licentra. But he must have thought to soon as what happened next was something he wasn’t looking forward to at all.

Licentra spoke his name and informed him that something wasn’t right. By the time he had rolled over onto his stomach and looked around at her she was already collapsing to the ground and quickly shifting back into her human form. He scrambled up to his paws and just looked at her for a moment, the initial shock of what just happened, still had a hold over his mind and body. It only took a few seconds for him to snap out of it and he quickly shifted back to his human form. He rushed to her side and dropped to his knees, the both of them was butt naked and in the middle of a clearing in the trees. He preyed no one came by.

Thinking that the best thing to do right now would be to get her home, put some clothes on her and then get her to the hospital as soon as possible he scooped her up in his arms and turned around to make sure no one was around. Seeing that there was no one he took off running towards their home. Even in his human form he was a very fast runner, it was one of his better traits. He made it all the way back to their home without running into anyone. He kicked opened the back gate and made for the back door. Knowing Licentra like he did he knew that she would have locked the door, so the Kat would be safer inside the home.

Making it to the door he didn’t even stop to see if he was wrong, he lifted his foot and booted the door and it smashed open. Darting in the house he looked around and started calling out for Kat. He bolted up stairs as entered their room he laid Licentra on the bed and pulled out some clothes for him and her quickly he dressed himself and then started to put clothes on Licentra’s unconscious body. Just as he was pulling the dress down over her body the door opened and a small girl that was Kat walked in rubbing her eyes. “What’s going on?” she asked sleepily and opened her eyes, they widened as they saw Licentra.

“Something is happening to her I think its the baby” he said scooping Licentra back up into his arms. “I’m going to take her to the hospital and I need you to stay here” he said walking past Kat who was speechless and shocked. She followed Drake down stairs and waited but the couch as he went back into the kitchen and with one hand he lifted the door back up and pushed it back into its frame. Shifting Licentra back into both his arms he walked back out into the lounge room. “Don’t worry, stay by the phone I will call you when I find out what is going on” he said leaning down and placing a kiss on her head.

He then walked out and opened the car door. They didn’t really need a car, but they had gotten on so it was easier to get Kat around town, instead of making her walk all the time. He put Licentra in the back seat and got into the front. He started up the engine and backed out of the driveway and speed off towards the hospital. The way Drake drove they were there in no time and he found himself picking Licentra back up out of the back seat and running up to the emergency room. He quickly explained what had happened to the doctors of course leaving the whole being a wolf part and they took her away, leaving him in the waiting room. He paced back and forth, tears on his cheeks.

[Licentra Williams]

Licentra layed there limp in Drake’s arms, something with the pregnancy obviously having gone wrong. She did not wake up, not even at the feeble conversation amongst everyone in the emergency room. The doctors were doing a scan in which they could hear the heart beat of the child that rested in the confinements of Licentra’s womb. Nothing resounded but a buzz of the monitor as the doctors looked back and forth in their solemn gazes, knowing the news that would come would not be something pleasant to either Licentra or Drake. The physicians moved her to her own room in which she would be able to fully recover.

>>Doctor Thorson<<

Thorson stood to the entrance to the waiting room. “Drake.” She called out in a calm tone that contradicted her nerves with the news she was bearing. She pulled Drake into her office and sat down, crossing her legs, her left elbow resting on the edge of her mahogany desk. “Please take a seat.” She gestured to the chair that was in front of her, breathing in deeply for a moment. “I’m afraid, I have both good and bad news. Licentra will recover. The bad news is the baby will not. Our guess is that the baby’s heart was too week and died in the womb. There’s no logical reason this could have happened, but I’m sorry.” She sat there, tense in her stomach, not breathing for a moment because she knows this is difficult for any caring parent to take in.

>>Licentra – a few hours later<<

Slowly, Licentra’s eye lids opened, glancing around the room she was in, hearing the soft beats of the monitor increase slowly. She had no idea what was about to be told her. A nurse who came to check every thirty minutes came in and saw her awake. “Good afternoon, Licentra. How are you feeling?” The nurse had echoed to her.

“I’m okay.”

“Doctor Thorson will be right in.”

Something thumped in her heart at those words as she remembered that she passed out and felt worry run through her as the nurse left and doctor came in. The words that came from her lips brought tears to Licentra as she covered her face, not having felt this type of pain before. The warm arms of the nurse came around her and all Licentra wanted to do was find Drake. “Get Drake. Please.” She managed to muster out and fisted her hands in her hair, her head buried in her arms as she felt emptiness in her that nothing could seem to mend or would. Doctor Thorson nodded and slowly slipped out of the room, leaving Licentra there as she layed back, tears streaming down her face. “No…Noooo..no.” She murmured, her hands in her hair still, covering her face as she felt herself breaking in two.
