Chapter 14: Feral Play

Simon had given Amy a promise even if it was offhanded. Now he just had to figure out how to do it. He did it once, so it could not be impossible. He tried to look inward and call for it. From what he was taught, if he had any ability he could instinctively call on it, like an extra limb he always had. He had once tried calling his demonic heritage many a time and had always come up empty, so there was a bit of trepidation there. But he was told that was because he was too weak to properly use his demonic powers.

For this new ability, however, there was not even a bit of resistance. The moment he thought of transforming, he could feel the power at his fingertips, roiling just underneath the skin beckoning him to use it. There was also the ferocious nature attached to that power urging him on.

This second half made him want to shy away, in fact, this was not the first time he tried calling for this particular power. The first time he tried shifting, he felt the feral side come on morphing his thoughts and actions to be more primal and he did not like it one bit.

But Amy was right there panting heavily with her tail wagging and he thought ‘What’s the worst that could happen? Cow aunt is here.’.

He closed his eyes and let the power run wash over him. The shift happened rapidly and unlike the first time he felt all of it, it was not painful in any way. Just a change in himself, like he had moved into a new pair of clothes, except that the clothes were his own body.

His eyes opened to see the house railing much closer to his face, he recoiled back only to find his head not moving in the way he expected. There was also something restricting his movements. He was annoyed and tried to shake them off to no avail, this made him growl in annoyance, he craned his neck and tried to bite at the fabric that held him in bondage to no avail, his maw could not find leverage.

However, his beloved packmate came to his rescue as she noticed his ire. She bit and clawed into the restrictive cloth and shredded it off him. Within seconds most of it was torn off, and any that hung on was thrown off with rapid shakes.

Now free his eyes narrowed onto the open field that lay before him, with a soft bark he bolted running as fast as his legs would carry him. Amy was not far behind, keeping up with his blistering speed. His mate was faster and stronger than him, too, by leaps and bounds. But that did not deter the black wolf in the slightest, he was her alpha and his command were absolute, to be fearful of her power would be detrimental to the future of HIS pack.

He snorted as he playfully bumped into Amy knocking her off balance. The shock made her tumble and roll in the grass.

Simon stopped and barked at her, yipping at her fall. This did not last as within moments his packmate pounced with extreme levels of speed knocking him off his paws and knocking him onto the grass. She also playfully bit at his neck with mock outrage.

Two could play that game as he started nipping at her as well. This wrestle went back and forth till the running jitters kicked back in and he zoomed out of her reach and bolted passed Amy. She gave out an annoyed whine at her loss of playmate but then noticed Simon was once more on the run. She jumped to her feet and quite easily caught up to her master. Then she was the one to knock him off and start the cycle again

The two wolves were being 'playful' and lost in their bestial world.

What they did not notice was that the farmland was being devastated by their 'game'. Unlike the house was enchanted beyond belief the land they were running on was much less so. As such large chunks of it were being thrown every which way creating various potholes every time they were having a 'playfight'.

Cathy noticed this and was trying to wrangle both the canines in. She regretted her actions immediately after the formation of the first pothole, slapping herself on the horn. She had completely forgotten that Simon was still juvenile and had no control over his animalistic strength.

But she was built for strength and not speed and could do little to catch up. If she tried using her full strength to get the two animals down quickly she would instead be doing even more damage to Victor's farmland. She was already having a slight headache at the thought of Victor coming back before she managed to clean the mess up. So she decided to bring back up, namely the centipede sister named Cyrene.

With the help of the insect monster girl, they did finally manage to get both the wolves back.

Simon's second act as a tamer: ruin his dad's property and get caught an angry cow aunt and exasperated creepy aunt and be lectured to school, after of course getting a new pair of clothes after a shower because you were a 'destructive and dirty boy'.
