"What did you do to the wolf?"
The man looked confused before pointing at his left thigh. There was a bleeding wound exactly where I shot the wolf.
"Please don't scream or yell. I am sorry that I couldn't change forms earlier."
"Are you some kind of shapeshifter?" I asked him as the shock started to leave my body.
"Yep!" I tried not to laugh because it sounded like a bark. "I am from a village hidden in the forest, full of shifters!" He gave me a wolfish grin. "My name is Slade! What is yours?"
I picked up the mixture and had him sit on the bed again.
"My name is Alec. What were you doing when we met?"
"My village has a rule that once we are in the mating age, we have to stay away from the village until we find a mate. I was about to get myself some venison for dinner but I forgot to check my surroundings. Then I leaped right at an arrow."
"How long have you been living in the forest?"
