Xander had made his way up the trail for about two hours until he finally made a primitive camp near a west facing cliffside. It didn't take him long to build a small fire, and lay out his bed roll for the night. It was nice to simply be able to sit and watch the sun slowly set while he worked on his orbs.
The conversation with Emily had been extremely helpful, it was like it somehow managed to loosen the part of his mind that was locked down by the depression. The part that gave him access to his powers.
He took a deep breath and looked out at the sunset with a smile before opening his hand and focusing on his energy. A moment later a small orb full of colors, swirling and blending together, formed in his hand. It was small at first, but the more he focused on his energy the larger the orb got. Each breath in helped it stabilize and each breath out helped it to steadily grow. After a few minutes he had managed to grow the orb to the size of a baseball, a decent size for a normal strength orb. It was the largest orb he had made in almost eight years.
He was able to stabilize the orb for a few moments before letting its energy reabsorb into his body. He looked up to watch the sun set behind the mountains in the distance before he heard the sound of leaves rustling. He turned to the side to see a wolf standing at the edge of his camp site. "Well... Hello." He said cautiously. He was expecting company but this was not what he had in mind. Although he wasn't really afraid of the wolf, it was unusual to see one this close to a human, and even stranger to see it this close to a fire. Wolves tend to avoid both by instinct, so his first thought was that something was wrong with the wolf.
As he watched the animal carefully, it slowly started to move towards him, avoiding the fire yet still moving closer to it than he felt a wolf should. As it came closer and closer he was getting ready to grab the wolf should he need too, but before he could the wolf began to lick his face.
With a surprised look in his eyes he looked back at the wolf, which leaned in closer to him and started to lick around his mouth. "Ewww!" he thought to himself but then noticed something about the wolf, it was moving in an odd fashion. The wolf put one paw on his knee and leaned in, still licking his face, but the feel of its paw slowly changed. He looked down at the paw, confused "what the hell..." he let slip as he watched the paw slowly start to elongate and grow into fingers.
Before he could react to the sight before him, another furry hand-like paw turned his head back toward the head of the wolf. The snout of the animal had sunk in closer to its face and its ears had slowly started to shrink and move to the side of its... no. To the side of her head. The hair around its face was fading away as Xander looked the creature in the eyes. "Emily?!" he asked in shock.
The face of the wolf contorted into an odd smile as more and more of the hair started to fade away from her face. "Surprise!" She said with a wink before leaning in and kissing Xander full on the mouth. The incubus responded to the kiss as best he could while still being confused as balls.
The body of the wolf continued to contort and shift. The thin short legs started to become thicker, and longer. The hair shrunk away to reveal beautifully tanned skin and muscle tone. The tail shrunk away into the naked rear end of the girl as the hair faded away from her body. As the hair receded on her back the long black hair grew out from her head. Without the ponytails to constrain the hair it came down to just below her waist if she were to stand up. Finally, her breasts slowly expanded and shifted from down near her stomach area up to her chest where they belonged. Her hands held Xander's face and kept him in a nice deep kiss.
The transformation ended some time before the young woman broke the kiss and looked into the confused eyes of the Incubus. "You told me to meet you here... I have arrived." She said with a relaxed smile and a look that seemed to imply she was only half there mentally.
"I did..." Xander said looking over the now naked young woman. "However, I kind of expected you to walk here...on two legs." He was still kind of in shock by what had occurred. He had, after all, never been seduced by an animal before. The wolf-turned-woman leaned in with a smile and kissed him again, sliding her hand along his chest. Xander enjoyed the kiss and slowly processed out what had happened in his mind before gently breaking it. "You're a Lycanthrope... a werewolf...I mean obviously that's the only thing you could be, but I kinda had to put that out into the air before the realization broke my brain."
