Maeve's eyes and lips widened when she saw what seemed impossible. Treyton turned into a ten-foot-tall werewolf. His fur was dark blondish, and his eyes were gold, glistening like the sun. His werewolf looked so majestic that it was difficult to turn away from its beauty. "Treyton...my god..."
Treyton, in his werewolf form, growled at the black bear, who then got in a defensive stance. The bear looked ready for a fight. The Alpha decided not to make the first move since he didn't want to give the bear the wrong intention that he wanted to harm or kill the bear. His thoughts were interrupted when he heard soft cries behind the trees. When he looked at where the sound came from, the bear roared and ran toward him. Treyton immediately focused on the animal, lowered his head, and head-butted the bear so hard that the animal flew away a couple of feet.
The bear huffed but got on its paws and ran toward Treyton again. Treyton ran toward the bear, and the two got on their feet and used their paws, claws, and teeth to fight one another. While the two fought, Maeve felt herself trembling from the shock, and as she watched the fight, she heard a muffled cry. The cries got her out of her shock, and she couldn't help but look to her left, where there were many trees and bushes. Maeve was scared and felt that she was going to faint, but the cries became more apparent. "I-I can do this..." She gathered her courage and slowly went to where the noise came from.
The more Maeve walked, the louder the cries and muffles became; the cries and muffles came from a couple of bushes. The young woman slowly looked over the bushes, and to her shock and horror, she saw two cubs. However, a cub's paws were entrapped in a bear trap. The free cub growled at Maeve as its sibling cried in pain, trying to escape the trap. That was when Maeve realized the bear was the cubs' mother and thought she and Treyton were a threat. "Oh, you poor little thing. I'm going to help you get out of this thing." The free one growled and bit Maeve's foot when trying to get close to the entrapped cub.
Luckily, Maeve wore strong protective boots so that she couldn't feel the bite. However, it was going to be challenging to help the entrapped cub. That was when Maeve had an idea and got her bag, where she had a couple of snacks just in case she got hungry. The young woman got beef jerky, took it out of the wrapper, cut it into two pieces, and gave one piece to each cub. The cubs were cautious and hesitant, but when they smelled the beef jerky, they slowly ate it. Maeve took the opportunity as she knelt beside the trapped cub and immediately began to try to open the bear trap. The cub cried at the suddenness, and it made the sibling stop eating the beef jerky and go to Maeve as he bit her arm.
The bite hurt her, but Maeve refused to be deterred. The bear trap was on the cub's paw hard, and whenever she tried to open it, the cub squealed. "Sshhhh. It's okay, little one. I won't hurt you." Maeve hummed a tune to soothe the bear cubs, which seemed to lessen their struggle. She used most of her strength to open the bear trap and eventually opened it just enough that the cub could get its hand out.
The trap was thrown away far from the cubs. Maeve noticed that the cub's paw was injured and immediately got the cub again while she got her first aid kit. She put ointment and alcohol on the injury, which made the cub squeal again. The other cub tried to get its sibling by biting Maeve, but she didn't budge. She eventually did what she could and got the other cub in her arms. They struggled to get out of Maeve's grip, but she immediately ran back, where she saw Treyton in his werewolf form hovering over the mother bear. It looked like he was about to strike.
"TREYTON, STOP!" her voice echoed in the mountain range. Treyton stopped as he looked at Maeve with the two bear cubs in her arms. "P-Please don't hurt her! That bear was only trying to protect her cubs! One of them was stuck in a bear trap!"
The Alpha looked at the bear cubs, and it made sense. The mother bear thought that he and Maeve would harm her cubs. He looked down as the mother bear was trying to escape his grip. He then noticed Maeve letting go of the cubs, and they ran toward their mother; Treyon got off the mother bear and immediately stood before his mate. The mother bear immediately stood up and got to her bear cubs, where she licked them both.
The duo then noticed the mother bear looking at them, specifically at Maeve. The little family went to the left and into the forest until they were out of sight.
Treyton and Maeve were left alone. The Alpha slowly turned around as he saw Maeve stand still; her eyes looked emotionless. He let out a wolfish groan as he put his head down as if telling her that he wouldn't hurt her. When Maeve still didn't move or speak, Treyton realized she was still in shock. He saw his bag, grabbed it with his mouth, and walked behind a tree. The werewolf slowly changed back into his human form, nude, with some bite marks and bruises. Tryeton got some clothes out of his bag and changed. Once done, he slowly walked away from the tree as he still saw Maeve standing. He slowly walked toward her. "M-Maeve...I'm sorry. I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner and had to show you this way. I-I couldn't live with myself if I didn't tell you who I truly am. Please don't be scared; I would never hurt you."
It was silent between them, and when Treyton got close enough, he stopped to give his mate space. Maeve didn't blink or move. "Treyton..." She swayed back and forth; Tryeton knew what was coming. He caught her before she fell to the ground.
Maeve fainted.
Treyton sighed as he carried Maeve, bridal style, and decided to take her back to his car. Upon arrival, he put her in the back seat and returned to get their things. He didn't expect the bear attack and wished he could tell his mate more appropriately. However, life had unexpected twists and turns.
All Treyton wished for was for Maeve to accept him; if she didn't, he wouldn't know what to do with himself.
