And here we are again, back with another story in the Merging Universe!
This one is going to be very different from the previous one. In that one the love between the Mated couple was already established from the get-go, regardless of the fact that Nathan was running from it.
And also that it will be split into two different POVS (Point of view).
In this story there is going to be a very rare, very special and very frightening twist to the wonderful gift that is becoming Mated.

Sometimes the world can be needlessly cruel.
All throughout our lives we're shown endless, pointless cruelty. Wars, murder, famine, disease. All of it vile and all of it pointless.
And yet somehow, someway the world, fate, God or whatever you want to call it. Somehow that presence finds a way to make it so much worse. To take your comfortable, calm life and turn it upside down for no other reason than its own twisted, sick amusement.
It happened to me.
I was in love with a girl I'd known for almost all of my life, Julia Hempkin. A small, curvy woman with short brown hair, bright blue eyes and a smile that made my legs feel like jelly.
We'd been together for eight years straight and somehow still managed to keep that spark, that magic that kept our love alive. We went out on dates and had our own Netflix and chill days. We still maintained a passionate sex life and explored new ways to keep it fresh and fun.
We could rely on each other when we were sad. We could step forward with confidence when the other was angry and get them to calm down without so much as a snap directed towards each other.
We were in love...deeply in love. Nobody else so much as crossed my mind, it was that perfect, she was that perfect.
Until one day...it was all threatened.
Threatened by something far more powerful than an argument, far more sinister than
just
another woman.
It was threatened by something the news showed every day. It was threatened by something we saw every day just looking at the happy couples walking the streets.
It was threatened...by the process of becoming Mated.
I never thought, not once not ever that such a thing would happen to me. Why would it when I was so very happy with my beloved Julia.
But like I said before, sometimes the world can be needlessly cruel. And this brand of cruelty came in the form of a Monster, a Wolf Girl.
Lucy Branning was a Wolf Girl almost as tall as me. And like most Wolf Girls she had ears atop her head, a big bushy tail and sharp claws that at a distance could've been mistaken for fingernails. She had long black hair and her tail was just as dark to match it. Her forearms were also lightly coated in dark fur.
She was very fit, strong and fast and her body displayed it. But it wasn't just her body that drew looks, it was her eyes. Two silver, faintly glowing eyes that seemed to pierce right through you.
Right through...me, as if she could sense what I was thinking...what I...desired.
I need to explain more, to tell more, to tell SOMEONE.
It wasn't my fault, it wasn't my fault!
I couldn't stop it, I couldn't stop her, I couldn't stop any of it!
Let me go back to the beginning, where it all happened.
Where a perfectly normal day...turned into a time from my darkest nightmares.
The day I met her.
My name is Remus Jackson and this is my story.

Remus POV
"Babe come on, you've got to get up!"
My vision swam for a moment as a voice drew me from my sleep...before I mentally shrugged and turned onto my back.
"Did you really just do that, babe?" the voice asked, a gentle annoyance slowly twisting into something bemused. "Okay, I see you. I see you and raise it with...THIS!"
Attack, attack, attack!
I was under attack!
A merciless, ruthless, remorseless attack!
"Come on babe, I'ma keep tickling you if you don't move and I know you're ticklish so- AHA, SEE!"
I couldn't help it. Laughter escaped me in ragged gasps as I turned around and blindly reached for the attacker.
"Babe don't you dare!"
My hands grasped an arm and yanked it forwards...and therefore everything else it was attached too onto me.
"Ooof! Babe you little bugger, I swear I'm going to...don't you dare...DON'T YOU DARE-"
Too little, too late. My hands and their dexterous fingers were already repelling the attacker with ease as I targeted her specific weak spots.
As she began to howl with laughter, I cracked open an eye and smirked at the sight of my red faced, panting and gloriously beautiful girlfriend.
"B-B-Babe please st-st-STOP!" she begged, roaring with laughter as she tried and failed to stop my nimble fingers. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry for tickling you. I surrender so please STOP!"
Acquiescing, I grinned at her breathless appearance before sitting up and pulling her close. Her eyes met mine and lidded lightly, a small smile on her face as she leaned forward and pecked my lips.
"Nuh uh," she said, smirking at my face. "No full kisses until you get your lazy butt outta bed and into that shower mister."
"You don't love me no more?" I asked sadly, fighting not to smile as her own lips twitched in amusement.
"I love you to bits bubby," she replied, giving my lips a slightly longer kiss this time. "But you've got morning breath and smell like sweat. If you wanna get my engine revving, you've gotta find something more appealing to the nose."
"You sure know how to flatter a guy," I muttered, standing up and reaching into the draw for a towel.
Julia stood up and gave my butt a quick slap, smirking as I jumped in surprise. "Your butt is still damn fine love. Did that make you feel flattered?"
"More like emasculated. How will I ever recover from such a terrible thing?"
She rolled her eyes before looking down and smirking lightly. "If you get showered and dressed in the next ten minutes then I'll suck your dick when you get back from work, how's that sound?"
"Like a plan!" I chirped, smiling at her laughter as I raced into the shower with purpose.
And not seven minutes later I was downstairs, fully dressed in my suit and ready to go!
Julia was wearing a simple pair of jeans and a baggy t-shirt. Her hair barely reached the end of her neck which meant another hair cut was likely to occur within the next day or so.
But to be honest I was mostly focused on her arse, so the haircut thing was processed and shoved away for some other time.
"I know it's pretty tight bubby," Julia snarked, grinning at my lecherous expression. "But you aint getting this bacon if you don't bring home the bacon, you get me?"
"Such cruel, wanton ways!" I quipped, enjoying the little roll her eyes made. "And what exactly are you going to be doing while I bring home the bacon?"
She smiled and grabbed a slice of toast, handing it over to me and kissing me on the cheek.
"Leona asked if I could babysit Harry until two today," she said, straightening my tie with a practiced ease as I nommed on the toast. "We do owe Steven for helping us move that big ass sofa the other week...so I said yes."
"Uh-huh," I murmured, giving her red face a look. "And I'm sure this has nothing to do with Harry missing his 'Aunty Julia'?"
To her credit she only flushed a little, her eyes looking directly into mine.
"Well...maybe," she mumbled. "I didn't think I'd like it so much, but...well, you know."
"I know," I said, pulling her close and kissing her lightly on the lips. "We've only just started trying for a baby love. Tomorrow is your most fertile day and we've got it off. It'll happen, trust me."
"I know you're right," she said quietly, rubbing her nose against my neck. "I'm just worried is all. We're both almost thirty and I'm a little nervous that maybe my body's...too old."
I shook my head and kissed her soundly this time, enjoying the little moans she made as I slipped my tongue inside. After a few moments I pulled back and held her face in my hands, wiping off a breadcrumb from her lips.
"People have had kids in their forties Julia," I reassured, stroking her cheek lovingly. "We're twenty nine, not fifty nine. It'll happen, I promise."
Her eyes got suspiciously watery for a moment before she blinked it away and gently stroked my cheek. "I suppose we do have...
all day
to work at it tomorrow don't we?"
"All day and all night," I grinned, enjoying the desire in her expression. "And by the time we're done, I'll have put a baby in you."
"Yeah?" she asked, breathless. "You gonna fuck a baby into me bubby?"
"Damn straight."
We stood there simply looking at each other, until finally my girlfriend moved back and cleared her throat.
"You uh, you better get going," she said, grinning at my expression. "Seriously. If you don't go in the next thirty seconds then I'm not going to let you."
"Promise?"
"Go to work bubby!" she giggled, moving around and pushing me gently towards the door.
"So demanding!"
"Just wait until you get back home," she whispered in my ear. "Maybe we'll have a trial run before tomorrow."
I stopped and spun around, kissing her soundly and enjoying her
very
affectionate reaction as she pressed herself against me.
"See you later love," I murmured, enjoying her slightly swollen lips.
