Author's Notes: Okay I want to clear a little something about Chapter 7 just a little bit. Okay if I confused the hell out of you readers when I put the part in about the lightning and the whirlwind when James found Rance, as you can all tell his emotions tap into this power in him, and that's how he can perform stuff like that. If you already knew that from the beginning, well then I made it a point to let you know. Cause to some readers they might have thought his powers might have awakened fully and that I wasn't thinking at the moment and forgot what I was doing. Sometimes I do that. Well, I hope you enjoy Chapter 8.

Chapter 8- Full Moon On The Rise/Power Is Unsealed

Rance started to wake up. He turned over and tried to put his arms around James, but felt the bed instead. He opened his eyes and looked all around. He saw the note that James left on the nightstand.

Rance,

I'm sorry that I am doing this, but please forgive me. I feel like this is my fault, even though you said it wasn't. If I'm not around you and the others, then there is less of a chance for them to come after you. You may not totally agree with me. I know it's going to be hard on you wanting me there to protect, but I'm staying in the realm of my wolf spirit.

We're in this both together. It's tearing me apart writing this letter. It's going to be hard on me too. Vance and Zang know about this too. I'm only going to be around just for training. If anything happens to me while I'm away, my wolf spirit will come and take you to me. This is only temporary until my birthday. I hope you get well soon. Take it easy okay.

~James

Rance sprung out of his bed. It didn't take him long to figure out that some how that his wounds were all healed up. Tears started to stream down his face as he headed out of the bedroom.

Vance was in the hot tub when he saw Rance storm in. "I take it that you read the note he left?"

"How could you let him do this?" Rance's eyes started to tear up and shaking the letter at Vance.

"Hold on Rance, there was nothing that Zang or I said to sway him to change his mind. We tried our best but he wouldn't budge." Vance explained that he tried to stop James.

Rance dropped to his knees, and covered his face. This is the first time that Vance saw his cousin cry this way. Vance went over to Rance, "Rance I believe that James did this cause he cares for you and all the rest of us. He just didn't leave without thinking about it first. I don't know if this helps, but last night he tried his best not to shed a single tear in front of Master Zang and I. It's going to hurt all of us, especially you. Besides he'll be back, in a month and a half. It's his birthday."

Even with Vance reassuring him, Rance still couldn't feel like a part of him was dead. Rance stood back up, "Thank Vance. I'm going to take a shower, hopefully it'll make me feel a little better."

"Hey, aren't you in any pain?" Vance asked.

"I feel fine actually." Rance answered back.

"Ooohhh." Is all that Vance could say but was thinking that it must of been the powers in James.

Rance left the pool room. Zang was coming down the hall when he saw Rance walk out of the pool room. He was shocked to see that Rance was up and walking. He went to the pool room and poked his head in. "I see that Rance is doing well." Zang said seeing Vance.

"Master." Vance wasn't expecting Zang, "Yeah if you wanna say that."

"Ah, he found the letter." Zang sat down.

"Uh huh." Vance shook his head and sat down too.

~

It had been almost a month since James left the manor grounds and Rance was getting worried about him. Even thought he only saw him when he came to train, he only saw him through his study window.

After training was done Vance went to the pool to take a nice dip. The day was very warm and they all got a good workout. Master Zang joined Vance.

"Did you notice something last night Vance?" Zang asked as they both soaked in the jacuzzi.

Vance thought for a moment, "Sorry Master, I don't."

"It's almost a full moon." Zang mentioned.

"I almost forgot about that. I wonder what's going to happen to Rance then with what's going on?" Vance thought, "It's the one time of the month when our animal instincts take over."

Vance started to feel his blood rush in his veins. He shook his head and growled. Zang raised his eyebrows at Vance, "Seems it's starting for you."

"Usually does remember Master?" Vance tried to stay calm.

"Ah yes. I remember now." Zang chuckled and recalled Vance and what the full moon does to him.

In his animal spirit's realm James was walking around enjoying the scenery. He then sighed and looked up at the clouds. "Something wrong James?" His wolf spirit asked.

"No, not really." James replied.

"Ward, you and I are connected, I feel whatever you feel. I know what you think sometimes." The wolf spirit said.

James smiled slightly, "Hey I came up with a name for you. How about Reuol?"

The wolf didn't say anything for a while. "Reuol. Not bad ward. To have that name is an honor."

James smiled, "Then Reuol it is."

James kneeled down and started petting Reuol, "Reuol, I need to find a piano, where there is no one around."

"Hold on then." Reuol advised as they both glowed and faded away.

They reappeared in an auditorium. James looked around and saw no one around. He went to the piano in the middle of the stage. "Perfect, thanks Reuol." James said as he sat on the bench and lifted the cover to the keyboards.

James started to do some finger exercises to warm up. He then had a melody come into his head. He started to find the keys for the notes he had in his head. Ten minutes had past and he had a complete chorus.

Please tell me how, do you make these tears fade away? How do you deal with all the pain that's inside of my heart? Oh tell me how, do you make the sun shine all day? Tell me how I can get you off of my mind, Cause I don't know, where to go. Please tell me how.

Somewhere else in the building...

"Yeah, see ya later Paul!" A blonde haired male said his goodbye.

As the man walked towards the door his ears caught something. He heard a piano and someone singing. He decided to investigate who it was. For he felt something with this song he was hearing being played. When the man opened the door to the stage of the auditorium he saw James playing the piano and singing to his heart's content. He was just blown away.

Oh, I can't go on anymore. I'm beggin' you please. I'm down on my knees, Please tell me how.

James hit the last chord. He opened his eyes and looked in front of him. He jumped just a little seeing a blonde man watching him playing. James started to get up and leave but the man stopped him, "Please don't leave on my account. I didn't mean to scare you."

James stopped and turned looking at the man who probably listened to his song. "That was very good. You have a wonderful talent." The man complimented James on his singing and his playing.

James blushed a little, "Thanks, but I'm not that good."

"Don't be so modest." The man added more, "Oh I'm sorry I'm Warren."

The man extended his hand out to James. James extended his and shook the man's hand, "Warren, I'm James."

"Nice to meet you James." The man smiled, "Can I ask why are you singing just to yourself?"

"Well, I don't sing in front of people, so I guess that's why I sing to myself." James remarked.

"Good one." Warren replied back.

They both chuckled a little bit. Warren felt something coming from James, but he couldn't place it. He felt drawn to James, like he's never been drawn before. "So, do you often come here to sing and play to yourself?" Warren asked.

"Actually..." James thought to himself, "Yes I do."

James couldn't help but feel attracted to Warren. He felt light, calm, and safe just like when he's around Rance. Warren started to ask James more questions. They both sat down talking about their life in general. They both found out that they shared a lot in common. "I don't mean to break the mood, but are you gay James?" Warren asked.

James smiled, "Yes. Why are you?"

"Does it show?" Warren looks all over to see if it showed somewhere.

James couldn't help but laugh. He was enjoy Warren's company and having a good time. About an hour had past, "Well I'd better go, I have family plans I have to attend to. Don't wanna have the family mad at me. It's been nice talking to you, and I hope I see you here again. " Warren shook James' hand again and started leaving.

James just stood there with a warm smile, watching Warren leave. He went up to the piano again and started to just push different keys. He soon felt a nuzzle on his right. His hand went and scratched behind Reuol's ears. "Your aura is warm James."

James looked at his furry animal spirit's face and smiled. He stopped and thought for a moment. "It's almost by birthday, and soon what was intrusted to be inside of me will finally be released." His vision started to blur and he felt lightheaded again.

Reuol noticed something was happening to James. James started to collapse off the piano bench. Reuol used his mental powers to levitate James on to his back. In front of them a ring appeared and it sparks fell from the ring. There was a light from the middle of the ring. The light faded and showed the realm of Reuol. Reuol entered the ring to his realm. The ring faded away closing the portal.

James opened his eyes and took a good look around at his surroundings. He found himself in the dimension of the clouds with all of his bare flesh showing. He curled up into a ball. He shivered as it was cold in the dimension. "James." He heard a voice call out his name.

He looked around to see where or who was calling his name. The voice called out his name again. This time he felt a presence in the dimension. In front of him clouds clustered together. James just watched as they shaped into a form. Out of the clouds stepped a man that he had never seen before. The man floated towards the naked curled up James. He stopped in front of James and smiled, "Do not fear me descendent, I do not intend harm."

James just looked at him in shock and didn't know what to say or do. "It is time to begin the processes of awakening what I bestowed unto you." The man said and put his hand on top of James head.

Their aura's glowed together and a warm burst of air shot from them. From inside James felt something hot pulsing. It felt like a small ball inside his chest. "The closer the days draw to your day that you brought into this world the more the power inside of you grows. The eve of your birthday you will fall into a coma type state. This will last until the final stoke of midnight of your birthday. The power within you will challenge your heart, your mind and soul. This is all I will tell you, but I must return you back to your body." The man explained to James.

Zang's eyes opened up, staring at the ceiling, from their rest. He felt some kind of energy but discern it. This started to bother him. He got off the sofa and sat cross-legged on the floor. He took a couple of deep breaths and closed his eyes. A thin line of light outlined his outer body. Soon his dragon spirit coiled around him, "Must find what this wave of energy I feel is and where."

In his mind's eye he was shooting like a rapid bullet after being fired. He tried to follow the source of the energy but couldn't find anything. He was about to give up his search when he looked up and saw a light shining like a bright star. He felt that vast amount of energy it was releasing. It was warm, calm and soothing. It was as if the sun was radiating rays of warmth onto him. He stopped and went straight to the light. When he emerged closer the energy he felt that is was being emitted from a being, but something was guarding or protecting the being. Then something in the back of his mind snapped, "This must be power inside of James. Something must have released it from its seal." Zang thought.

~ ~ ~

In the other part of the manor Rance was looking over some business papers, when he felt something inside his heart. He put aside the papers and looked towards the wall that the mirror was mounted on. He got out of the chair and started to walk to the mirror. Something in his mind changed as he walked to the door. Rance started to walk to his grandfather's room. He knocked on the door. A scruffy voice told him to enter. "Rance by dear boy, it's good of you to see me today." Darin smiled.

"How are you feeling grand dad?" Rance asked.

"Older then dust itself, but can't complain. But just recently I feel at peace. Something must be happening." Darin added.

"Strange." Rance muttered something out loud, but made sure that Darin couldn't understand.

"Where is he Rance?" Darin asked.

"Oh you mean James, he's not here." Rance replied as he grabbed a chair and set it by his grandfather.

A look of fear came over Darin's face quickly. "Don't worry grandfather, he's somewhere where Naz can't get his dirty hands on him." Rance quickly reassured his grandfather.

"How are you taking this?" Darin asked.

"Well....I'm getting used to it. I'm not liking the idea that he isn't here." Rance was a little uncomfortable talking about it.

"I bet that he isn't liking it as well Rance ." Darin smiled.

~ ~ ~

James started to wake up from his little spell. "I'm glad that you're alright ward. I was starting to get worried after you just fell unconscious. Do you feel okay?"

James rubbed his eyes and stretched. "I'm okay Reuol, I'm just very tired that's all."

"I wouldn't blame you, cause the full moon approaches in another night. Since we are connected your instincts will become more animal like mine." Reuol stated.

James just rolled his eyes and sighed, "Oh great, hopefully I won't go to berserk."

Reuol just chuckled to himself. "Hey I heard that you know." James snapped at Reuol.

~ ~ ~

The door opened to his office, "You wanted to see me father?"

"Yes Warren I did." Naz looked up at his son, "Sit down. So how are you doing son?"

"Pretty good. I've been just working mostly, nothing to thrilling." Warren answered.

"Why don't you help your father since your here son?" Naz asked.

"Don't try to ask that dad. I don't want to be a part of this whole stupid thing of yours to get back at the Tower's family. My answer is always the same, and you should know that by now." Warren's was a bit temperamental towards his father.

"I just don't understand. They are our enemy son. They mock us and make fools out of us." Naz started to say.

"No father they don't. If you let them be then you guys wouldn't have this feud that has carried on for centuries. This is your little quarrel so leave me out of this. I don't want blood spilled on my hands." Warren stood up out of the chair, "If you don't mind dad, I'll leave you and your plotting alone."

Warren slammed the door behind and headed up to his room. Once in his room he plopped on the bed. He faced the window and looked out to the courtyard. He then remembered meeting James earlier in the day. A smile grew on his face, "Kinda funny that I just met him and he puts a smile on my face. I want to see him again, hopefully that he goes there on a basis."

Warren started to think how cute his smile was when James laughed. That wasn't everything that Warren was looking at, he was looking at the whole package. Pretty soon Warren imagining how James looked with no clothes at all. He started to gently rub his growing bulge. It had been awhile since he was with a guy. He went over to the door and locked it, and shut the drapes closed. He went back to his bed where he continued to massage the growing bulge. He breathing started to get heavier and he was rubbing his chest with his left hand. His other hand soon went in for the attack. He started to moan a little but not to loud that anyone could hear him.

He was imagining that he was slowly licking down James' chest. Listening to every gasp made him even hot. He took his finger and went in-between James' legs. James took a another gasp of pleasure. James spread his legs so that Warren could have full access. With the end of his finger Warren started to massage James' entrance of his puckered hole. James moaned out loud wanting more. Warren complied and slowly took his finger and pushed past the first ring of muscle. He started to push his finger in and out slowly first. James made a hissing sound as he drew air through his teeth.

Warren worked on loosening James a little more. Soon he put another finger in. James started to moan louder. His body start to shutter with absolute pleasure. James could feel that his climax was getting closer. Warren continued to thrust his two fingers inside of James. James could take any more and soon sprayed his juice in the air. It landed on his upper stomach and a little on Warren's face. James's chest collapsed after he arched his back up in the air.

Pretty quickly Warren muffled his own moan as his sticky cum shoot over his sculpted six pack. His breathing started to get lighter and his pulse slowed down. He cleaned himself up and just laid there in his bed eventually falling to sleep.

James started to feel something inside that was out of the ordinary. His senses started to go high. He felt boundless energy flow in him. His blood started to rush and hot.

It was the day of the full moon, and just like Reuol said his instincts started off with out a beat. He soon found had we was getting hard. He decided to he would take a nice dip in the near by lake in Reuol's realm. He got his clothes off and got in, "Holy shit this water is fucking freezing!"

He dived underneath the water. When he came back to the surface he laid on his back. Without thinking he soon was on the water. His thoughts where elsewhere. He was looking at the clouds drifting by. When he snapped out of his trance he tried to swim backwards when he noticed that he was on the water. He soon fell into the water, "How the fuck did I do that?"

"It seems when you have an open mind that some powers are tapped and things happen to or around you without thinking about it." Reuol said from the edge of the lake. James looked over and noticed that Reuol was walking towards him on the water, "But I as a spirit can do this no matter what."

"I'm going to have to get used to this then." James treaded water, "Hate to ask this of you, but.."

"Of course I can." Reuol said and started to shift his shape.

There in front of him, Reuol took form of Rance. James' heart started to beat faster. He was imagining in his mind that the water around him raised him up. The water started to turn and bubble around James and he soon was lifted in a column of water. He was at the same height as Rance transformed Reuol. James put his arms around him and started to cry. This stunned Reuol and felt the urge to comfort him. Reuol put his arms around James and patted him on the back, "Ward you're going to have to be strong."

"I wanna see him tonight, I don't care what happens, I just want to be held in his arms." James cried out.

Reuol couldn't help but cry a few tears to, as he felt what James was going through. "There's nothing that's stopping you." Reuol said.

James let go of Reuol and looked at him. Reuol just smiled as Rance would. "Are you sure that I can?" James asked.

"I maybe your spirit guardian, but I'm not your warden. I can't stop you from doing things." Reuol answered back.

James moved back from Reuol. James closed his eyes and the water enclosed around him. The water soon went back into the lake. There stood James in his clothes. "I have a question for you Reuol. If you were ever human what would you like to look like?" James asked.

Reuol just stood there and didn't answer. He then shifted again. This time James saw a scruffy faced, shoulder length, brown haired Reuol. James took a closer look at his eyes. His eyes were a greenish gold. Reuol opened his arms. James walked over and let Reuol embrace him. "It's alright James. Remember to be strong for Rance." Reuol assured James.

"I hope you don't think this is going to be an outrageous question, but I have always wondered..ah nevermind." Reuol started to say.

"No, what is it?" James wanted to know what Reuol was thinking.

"Are you sure?" Reuol asked.

"I'm sure. Go ahead and ask." James smiled.

Reuol was just a little hesitant of asking, "Okay, I've always wondered what it felt like to kiss another being."

James smiled, "I see, and you want to try it right?"

Reuol blushed in his human form. "I don't mind giving you a kiss, it'd be my honor." James said.

"You don't have to..." Reuol started to say, but James' lips met his and at first he was shocked, but then started to like how the kiss felt.

"Now there that wasn't so bad was it?" James broke the kiss of and looked at Reuol.

Reuol just stood there with a grin on his face. James couldn't help but giggle a little bit. Then James remembered something, "No it can't be!"

Reuol looked at him strange, "What is it James?"

"This is going to be off the wall but we are connect in a way right?" James started to ask.

Reuol nodded his head. "You're not going to believe this but." James paused a moment and grabbed Reuol's hands and held them on each side of his temple, "I want you to see a memory I had. I'll try to think of it."

Reuol closed his eyes. James closed his eyes and concentrated on the memory. It was as if Reuol was sucked back in time. He was standing in Rance's office where he saw Vance and James come in and go to the mirror on the wall. He went over to see the mirror. He heard everything that they had said. When the mirror glowed and projected an image, he stepped backed after seeing the image in the mirror. He then looked at Vance and then at James. He took his hands off of James' head. "How can that.." Reuol tried to say but couldn't complete what he was going to say.

"Are you okay?" James asked as if he was rethinking on that he shouldn't of showed Reuol his memory.

"Let me get off this lake and sit down please." Reuol said and started walking towards the shore of the lake.

James held Reuol just in case he fell in the water. "I can't place it. I'm a animal guardian." Reuol remarked.

"I know, I couldn't believe it when I remember it." James felt awkward about the whole thing.

"Mmm..my mate is a...a human?" Reuol stuttered.

"Life kinda has a way of punching you in the face doesn't it?" James tried to lighten the mood.

"Let me ask you something Reuol. Since you wanted to know how it was to kiss a human, have you had fantasies of being a human?" James thought he'd ask.

Reuol looked at James, "Yes, but I never thought this could be."

"Reuol, you can morph into a human, just as he can morph into a wolf. It kinda makes sense. But I can see where you are coming from, you being a animal guardian spirit." James tried his best to help.

"We can't fight what is planned for us right?" Reuol asked James.

"No we can't. I know that all to well." James rolled his eyes.

"Then when you go to Rance I will met him." Reuol stated.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" James wanted to make sure about Reuol said.

"I'm sure." Reuol was sure of it, "Now to give you a gift James."

"Me? A gift?" James was shocked.

Reuol stood up and put his hand on James' head. Power started to flow from Reuol to James, "Now you have the ability to morph into a wolf without me helping you."

Later on that night they both got ready to go out. Reuol opened the portal from his realm to earth. They both past through. James smelled the air and looked up at the moon, "It's a beautiful night and a beautiful moon I might add."

The moonlight was bright that it was possible to see everything. James closed his eyes and tried morphing into a wolf by himself for the first time. "Tune into your animal instincts." Reuol suggested.

With Reuol's suggestion James tried it and with no problem at all his form started to change. He got on all fours and fur started to cover his body. His face started to grow narrow. Soon the transformation was complete. "It's going to take a while for me to get use to this too." He mentally translated to Reuol, "I hope you have the best of luck Reuol. Tell Vance hi for me too."

James took off towards the manor. Reuol soon followed James.

Rance was in the hot tub letting the water warm his body, he heard a wolf howl about two miles away from the grounds. He opened his eyes and sat up. The howl was heard again, and this time Rance grinned. He stepped out of the hot tub and dried himself off. He opened the door that lead out to one of the many patios. He looked up and saw it was a full moon. The warm wind blew in his face.

Once more the calling howl was heard in the air. His eyes turned a brownish gold. He soon morphed into his wolf form and howled back. He started running and jumped over the wall and proceeded southwest. He howled again to let the other wolf know that he was on his way.

Two miles southwest another wolf heard the reply it was waiting for. About ten minutes later Rance arrived where the other howl told him to go. He morphed back into his human form and looked around. The moon was shining brightly from up above lighting everything below. Rance heard roughage move. He turned around and saw a gray wolf stepping out. He grinned again. The wolf started to run towards him and jumped in the air. While in midair the wolf shifted into James. James had his mouth opened showing his upper teeth.

They landed on the ground rolling in more foliage. Both of them growling and biting each other in the neck. They stopped rolling around. James was on his back and looked at Rance. Rance looked right back into James' eyes and leaned in. James wrapped his arms around Rance's neck. After they stopped kissing James decided to lick Rance's face.

About three hours later they both laid clothes-less and tired. James was cuddled up to Rance. Rance was rubbing his hand on James' arms. "I take it that you have been missing me too?" Rance asked.

James smiled and looked at Rance's face, "What gave you that idea?"

"Oh nothing, just noticed the more animal instinct you displayed." Rance smiled back and kissed James on the forehead.

James looked up and saw the moon peaking through the tree's branches. "Well, it is a beautiful full moon."

"Uh-huh." Rance remarked, "I guess you'd better get going back to your spirit's realm."

Rance tried to get up but James didn't let him get up, "Let's stay here for the rest of the night please. Don't let your mate be alone."

This stunned Rance just a little but complied to the request. "You know that Master Zang and Vance will look at me weird when they notice me coming back late." Rance chuckled.

James followed, "Yeah they will, but that's alright."

Back at the manor Vance heard the door bell ring and went to answer it. He opened up the door and saw a rugged scruffy faced man standing there. This took him totally by surprise he recognized the face from mirror. "Hi are you Vance Towers?" The man asked.

Vance snapped out his shocked state, "Yes I am, may I inquire who you are sir?"

"My name is Reuol." The gentleman answered back.

"Please come on in Reuol. Would you like something to drink?" Vance asked not taking his eyes off of Reuol.

"Thanks, but no thanks, I'm fine." Reuol replied.

"Would you like to sit down?" Vance asked.

"Sure that would be nice." Reuol answered and followed Vance to the living room.

~

The next morning as the sun was peaking through the trees, and the birds singing their songs, Rance woke and looked over at James. James started to wake up from the bird's chirping. "Morning sexy." James smiled.

"Morning." Rance smiled back stretching his arms.

James got up and stretched. He soon went to some bushes and relieve his bladder of it's pressure. Rance had the same idea. James just looked at the sun and smiled. Rance came from behind and put his arms around James. Rance started to bite James' neck. "I should let you go so you can get cleaned up." James smiled.

"Yeah, but I don't mind, at least I got to see you." Rance said as he found his shorts that he was wearing.

James gathered his clothes and put them on. Before they said their good-byes to one another they both put their arms around each other. "I can't wait until you come back." Rance kissed James' lips.

"I bet." James giggled, and smacked Rance's asses.

Rance morphed back into his wolf form and ran back to the manor. James watched him until he couldn't see him anymore. This wolf spirit appeared and looked at James. "Are you ready to go?"

James scratched behind the wolf's ears, "Yep, let's go."

~

When Rance returned and went into the kitchen Vance was reading the morning paper. His eyes looked over the top of the paper and noticed that he was covered in dirt. His gave Rance this look like what on earth happened to you. Rance just smiled back. Vance then got the message. Zang just had entered the kitchen. He also noticed that he was covered in dirt. Instantly he figured out what had happened to Rance. "Beautiful full moon last night wasn't it Rance?" Zang asked.

Rance looked at Zang and smiled, "More then you'll know."

Vance was trying to hide his smile behind the paper. Rance took a glass from the cupboard and filled it with water. He gulped the water down and put it on the counter. "I'm off to take a shower." Rance announced and left for the bathroom.

When Rance was completely gone, Vance put down his paper and chuckled, "Did you hear that howl last night?"

Zang sat down and smiled, "Yep, no doubt we know who it was."

"The moon has that effect on us wolves." Vance added.

"You can tell me that again Vance." James said leaning in the doorway.

Vance and Zang tried not to bust with laughter. "So you saw the moon too?" Zang asked.

All James did was smile and that was enough for Vance and Zang. "Well it does bring out the animal instincts in us." James remarked, "Oh how did your night go Vance?"

A puzzled look came over Zang and looked at Vance. Behind the newspaper Vance started blushing, "It was pleasant."

"Oh that's all?" James raised his eyebrow.

This made Vance think, "How did he know about last night?"

"Vance can I talk to you in private?" James asked as he headed to the hall.

Vance put the paper down and went with James. They went into the living room and James closed the door. "How did you know about last night James?" Vance couldn't take the suspense anymore.

"Okay, before I explain it's best if you sit down." James motioned Vance to sit.

Vance complied and sat down, "The reason I know about last night is because." James took a breath, "Is because Reuol is my animal spirit."

Vance started to laugh, "That's a good one."

James looked at Vance very seriously, "You're not kidding me are you?"

James just shook is head, "I wish I was Vance. It's awkward for me to say this, but it's the truth."

"But how?" Vance asked.

"It's just like me, everything is planned." James answered back.

This really stunned Vance. "Don't worry this really was awkward for Reuol too when I showed him the memory of that night."

"But I don't understand." Vance asked with confusion.

"Look, I had a long talk with him too, and he's willing to stay in the form you saw him in last night." James explained.

"He doesn't need to do that, not for me." Vance's eyes started to water.

"I told him that you both can morph into a wolf and a human, you have that much in common" James said.

"You have no idea how much we have in common. I was so enchanted by him James. I felt like I grew wings and living in heaven. Almost like life made perfect sense." Vance started to pour his heart out.

"Hold on, you both need to talk about his." James said, and contacted Reuol mentally.

In a few seconds Reuol appeared in his human form. Vance just looked at him and couldn't say anything. "Come here Reuol." James held out his hand.

Reuol gave his hand to James, and James grabbed Vance's hand and put them together, "I'm thinking that your purpose in life was not only to be with one another, but you're here to protect people that are the closest to you."
