The Night Beat

Prosaic City P.D. business. Besides, you’re job is to protect me, so I don’t know why you’re complaining.”
    “The suit itches, remember?”
    I nudged him. “But you’re not wearing the suit now.”
    Ralph changed to human and grinned at me. “True enough.”
    I rolled onto my back as I went to human, too. “Not trying for puppies today?” I was almost disappointed. Ralph had introduced me to a lot of new things, including that there was nothing better than having sex with another werewolf, in all three forms.
    He stroked my hair. “Not today. Well, not this moment. How about that?”
    I was already familiar with his stamina. “Not a problem.” The afternoon was young, after all, and we didn’t go on duty again for another night. Ralph rolled on top of me and I sighed. “Does unlife get any better than this?”
    Ralph kissed me. “Not that I’ve found in over four centuries.”
    “Makes eternity seem too short.”
    He grinned. “I’ll do my best to make all parts of it last forever.”
    There was an old saying, and I’d found it was true -- once you went werewolf, you never went back. I was a weregirl in love and it finally felt right. What the next nights would bring I didn’t know, but I figured unlife was a journey, not a destination. And come what may, I was going to enjoy the ride -- in the donated S-Class, with my mate and our pack along for the wild ride. Unlife truly didn’t get any better than this.
