Prologue

There is a thin white blanket of snow covering the grass and trees. My mind is swallowed up by the memories of the warmth of the beach were love has sprouted a new.
My mind wanders back to his touch, how it lingered, how my skin prickled wanting more. But he never gave more. He was afraid of hurting me, his strength and easy anger. His honey brown eyes poured into mine as he spoke.
"I'll be back, Alexandira, I promise."

ONE:

I looked up at him and rested my hand on his cheek, his hand held mine in place and he closed his eyes.
Viktor was so much bigger then I was. I was small and icy pale. My too big brown eyes bulged out making my face much smaller, my cheeks a rose and my full lips always in a tight line.
Viktor was different. More beautiful. His eyes had a liquid movement to them. They flowed with every stare. His skin a perfect tan that you only could get if it was born into you. And even though he was tall, he had a graceful step. His dark hair cut short, leaving his forehead bare. Any man would kill for his strength and his beauty.
Viktor opened his eyes and smiled, his white teeth glimmering. "I know." He whispered.
I blinked and flushed dark red and pulled my hand away from him, "No fair Viktor! I thought I was blocking you!" I pulled my knees up to my chest and glared at the sparkling pebbles.
I felt him move, then felt the rumble of his laughter, "Alex, baby, lighten up. You just need practice." He wrapped his arms around me and squeezed lightly.
It was hard staying mad at him. I berried my face in his chest and looked in his head.
I always will.
I smiled and looked up at him, "Why didn't you block me?" I asked.
He smiled lifting my chin up with his finger and looked at me straight in the eyes, "Because I wanted you to see that." he said, kissing me lightly on the forehead.
Something in the air changed then. His muscles tightened and my body went tense. I was up and in his arms in a flash before realizing the false alarm. Christopher and Allissa were running in our direction, Alice smiling and Chris tense.
Alice took my hand and pulled me away from Viktor, Not this again. i thought feeling the de ja vu all over. Chris smirked hearing my thought and Viktor growled. They both went rigged and took their stances.
Alice and I walked over to the sea wall and sat upon it watching the two woodland fey take shape of two great wolfs.
A cream colored wolf and a milk chocolate one. I've seen this fight so many times. Viktor (the milk chocolate wolf) always puts Chris (The cream colored wolf) in his place.
I yawned and looked over at Alice, "Why do they always do this?
"It's just a boy thing, I suppose." She said as if the whole thing were nothing.
But this constant fighting and easy make-up was odd. Even for boys. It was like they were fighting for territory. I shrugged it off for now seeing that the fight was at its end.
Viktor took Chris by the neck and swung him half across the beach making him hit the light house. His mussel was pulled up in a victorious smile as he stood on his hind legs and transformed back into his human form, Chis still a wolf.
