(Yay! I'm finally done with this!! I hope you guys like the end)

Brad and Cas turned quickly, snarling at the two figures at the top of the stairs. Kris shivered in terror and burrowed deeper into Adam’s chest. “He’s still the same person,” Adam said softly, though still loud enough for the two humans to hear. “Just because he’s finally becoming his true self, doesn’t make him any less of the boy you raised.” Kris smiled up at Adam appreciatively.

“He used to be the boy we raised,” said the woman. “But the moment he met you, he turned into a vile disgusting abomination. And we kill abominations.”

The humans leapt down the stairs, two large swords swishing through the air. Brad and Cas shifted into wolves and leapt out of the way, only to turn around and grown menacingly at the attackers. The man rushed towards the wolves, leaving the woman to guard him from behind. In the confusion of the battle, Adam picked Kris up off of the table and ran toward the stairs. The four fighters payed no attention as he rushed up and out of the house.

He ran with Kris until he could no longer feel the effects of the poisonous plants. They were about 200 yards from the house, where human and animal screams alike floated out into the air. Adam set Kris down on the soft grass and collapsed next to him. He slipped his hand into Kris’s. The two stared up at the blue sky as they could feel their renewed proximity healing their bodies quickly. When he felt better than he had in days, Adam turned towards Kris with a serious expression. “I know you ran away for a reason. You don’t have to stay with me if you want. I just ask that you stay until we’ve fully changed. I really don’t want to ever relive the pain of the last few days. After that, you can do whatever you want.”

“Is that what you want?” Kris asked, a note of hesitancy in his voice. “Do you want me to leave after the change?”

“Of course I don’t want you to leave. I’ve been waiting my whole life to find you. I know you probably think it’s a little fast to be so committed, but I love you.” Adam squeezed Kris’s hand gently.

“How do you know you love me? Maybe the mate bond thing is just our inner wolves. Maybe that doesn’t mean the same thing as human love.” Kris looked away.

Adam could practically see the gears turning in Kris’s head, so he knew Kris didn’t really believe that. He was just trying to rationalize what he was feeling. He was raised as human, after all, and none of this was normal human behavior. Adam suspected Kris would have a lot of reconciling to do with his human and wolf natures in the near future. “They are the same thing,” he said. “The wolf’s feelings are just intensified versions of our own. If we weren’t werewolves, it may have taken us longer, but we would have eventually fallen in love.” Seeing that Kris still didn’t believe him, he kept trying to explain. “Have you ever seen an elderly couple who have been together since high school?” he asked. Kris nodded. “Well, our bond-- our love-- is kinda like that. We just skipped a couple of years in between.”

Kris rolled over onto his stomach and flung an arm over Adam’s chest. “I sense that you’re telling the truth. I don’t know how I know, I’m guessing it’s also part of the bond?”

“Yeah, we’ll both know when the other lies.”

“Then I don’t want to leave you. I know deep down that you’ll be perfect for me. Can you forgive me for running away?”

“There’s nothing to forgive; you were just scared.” Adam smiled bashfully at Kris. “Are you sure you want to stay. This is your last chance to leave. If you decide you don’t want to stay with me, I’ll prepare myself to let you go at the end of the month. It’s no problem.” In reality, it was a huge problem; he didn't want to let Kris walk out of his life again. But he had to try to hide his true feelings. The decision had to be Kris's.

“I know when you're lying, remember? It would crush you if I walked out.”

Adam sighed. “You'd leave me only a shell of the man I was, but that doesn't matter. What you want matters.”

Kris smiled and cuddled close into Adam's side. “I want you,” he said simply before reaching up for a kiss.

Adam readily returned it, overjoyed to finally have found someone to love.

The battle between the werewolves and the hunters was over quckly. Brad had distracted the hunters, making them think that he was the easiest target. Cas took the opportunity to shift back into his human form to grab the woman and push her onto the table, locking her up in the same bars that had held her adopted son. The man was distracted by the cries of his companion, so he didn't notice when Brad shifted and raised a sword to hit him over the head with the handle. He was knocked out cold.

As soon as their attackers were incapacitated, the couple shifted again to sniff out their fellow werewolves. They found them locked in a passionate kiss not too far from the house. They left the two lovebirds alone for a while to let them catch up in peace.

*************

The first month of Adam and Kris's transformation was a beautiful time filled with love and affection. They stayed close together and were always in the same room. No one could tear them apart.

Their first full moon, they spent at their apartment. Kris had moved in with Adam right away after the Arkansas incident. He no longer had any doubts. With Adam's help, he had managed to accept everything about the werewolf side of himself. As wolves, they had laid curled up together on the bed, reveling in the release of the wolf that had been straining to be let out.

The second night was spent in a forest far outside of LA. They had driven hours to get to somewhere secluded, so they could run around and enjoy their new found freedom. They shifted and ran through the trees, playing tag, hide-and-seek, and wrestling. The wrestling evolved into romancing. They both felt closer than ever before.

The next morning, the sun rose on them lying naked next to a stream. Kris curled close to Adam and kissed him thoroughly before they both rose and walked back to their car, ready to return to their wonderful life together.
