Voltron: Defender of the Universe
Princess Allura awoke with an immediate sense of danger. Cold air drifted through the window she had left open in her bedroom. She sat up and came face to face with a huge wolf. Her heart went to her throat. A pair of gleaming eyes stared directly into hers.
Her laser gun was in the drawer of her nightstand. There was nothing she could do but stare back at the wolf and silently beg for it to leave. The beast leaned forward, sniffing her hair. It sneezed, and she nearly jumped from the bed.
What did it want? She had no food; the space mice always did away with the munchies she hid in her bedroom. She swallowed convulsively. Of course, she was food. Keith said last winter had been terrible for forest animals, especially the wolves. They were hungry and that was the reason they attacked the livestock. The princess and the Voltron Force met with her subjects to talk about the matter.
Keith proved to be a wealth of information about the wolves, declaring they only kill those animals that are sick or weak, helping to maintain the balance of nature. Allura agreed, ordering the villagers to stop their illegal hunting and promising to have some packs relocated.
But it was Keith who held her attention. The proud look on his face made her entire body hot.
The wolf stared down into her eyes. His hot breath fanned her face. Allura was terrified and fascinated at the same time.
The animal snorted, and then sniffed at her neck. She closed her eyes, waiting for its teeth to break the skin.
Then a wet tongue touched her throat. The animal licked her cheek. She opened her eyes.
Dawn was approaching, and she saw him more clearly. He was large and beautiful, and black as midnight. And his eyes- they were a gorgeous dark brown. She felt there was intelligence behind that gaze.
She blinked, and in an instant he was gone.
Allura tried to control the racing of her heart, the ragged sound of her breathing. Had she imagined it all?
A distant howl raised the hackles on the back of her neck. She scrambled to the window and tried to close it. Her hands shook badly. Once she completed the task, she leaned back and took deep gulps of air.
There was sadness in that howl. Was he calling to his mate?
Back in bed, she tried to calm down. What she needed was a distraction from her encounter with the wolf.
Keith's face immediately appeared, with his handsome features and his magnificent body. She growled softly. She certainly didn't want to think how good he had looked in those red swimming trunks.
Gradually, she drifted off to sleep. She dreamed of the wolf, and of Keith, but the dream became blurry, and somewhere along the way, she had trouble distinguishing between the two, the wolf and the man.

Allura rose at the crack of dawn and went down to the kitchen, feeling as if she hadn't rested at all. She could not forget the black wolf that had visited her bedroom and smelled her hair and licked her cheek.
She was finishing her breakfast when she heard Elena the pastry chef discussing pies with her assistant, and offered to pick blackberries. "You will be able to make several tarts," she said, grabbing her pink pullover hoodie and a basket.
She made her way toward the lush forest and saw blueberry bushes. Someone has been here before, she thought. But there were plenty left if she reaches them with a long stick.
Soon her basket was filled with huge berries. Grinning, she said, "At least dozen tarts."
After eating another berry, she closed her eyes and breathed deeply the pine-scented air. When she opened them, movement close by caused her to stiffen. An animal had darted from behind one tree to another, so she grabbed the stick.
Keith strolled into the site, carrying a red backpack.
"Keith!"
He wore a pair of jeans and an unbuttoned flannel shirt, calling attention to his broad chest. His hair was wet and slicked back from his face.
He walked over and stood in front of her. "Princess, what are you doing here?"
"Uh..."
He took her wrist. "Are you okay?"
The deep sound of his voice. The gentleness of his touch. The clean soap-water smell of him. He had probably bathed in the nearby stream.
"Y-yes," she replied. "What about you?"
"I couldn't sleep, so I went for an early walk."
"A lonely walk?" she whispered softly.
Keith smiled sadly. "You needed one too?"
Sighing, she nodded. "I couldn't sleep either," she said, retrieving her basket. "I came to pick blueberries for Elena."
For some reason, Keith found her declaration funny.
"You find this amusing?"
"You look like Red Riding Hood with your basket on your way to grandma's house." He tilted his head to one side. "Pink Riding Hood to be exact."
She laughed too. "And you're the wolf that wants to eat me up?"
He leaned in, smelling her hair and then touching her cheek with his lips. "If you let me."
She stared into his eyes and thought she had looked into those eyes before.
"Goodness, what beautiful brown eyes you have," she whispered.
He frowned, glancing away. "We're not alone," he growled softly.
"What?" she blushed hotly.
"Hunk, come out of there!" he barked.
A grinning Hunk appeared from behind the bushes, carrying a sack filled with apples. "How did you know?"
Keith glared at him. "I smelt you."
He lifted his arm and sniffed at his armpit. "But I just took a bath."
"And used strawberry soap," Keith went on.
Allura covered her mouth to keep herself from laughing at something he obviously didn't find funny.
And suddenly she thought Keith had a great sense of smell, like the sense of smell of a wolf.

"You should have gone with the others," Keith said in the stables that snowy morning as they waited for their sleigh ride.
Allura fought the urge to kiss his brow. "I didn't want you to be alone," she said. "Besides there's still time for Christmas shopping."
Fixing his red and white scarf, he sighed. "You shouldn't worry about me."
"Keith," Allura urged quietly. "We need to talk about what is bothering you."
He didn't seem to hear her. He glanced sadly at the snowflakes that had been falling since the night before. He couldn't burden her with his family secret. He loved her too much for that. He had to leave Arus… and soon.
"I can't."
Her mouth tightened. "Why?"
"You wouldn't understand."
Allura ached to be held by him, to feel his arms around her. She had lost everyone she had ever loved. She didn't want to lose him too.
Reaching out, she touched his face, forcing him to look at her. "Help me understand."
The rider dressed as Santa Claus stopped before them. Keith helped the princess up into the sleigh, and then sat down beside her, stretching his arm out along the back of the seat. He wasn't quite touching her, but she felt the strength and warmth of him just the same.
"Hey," she whispered to his ear. "We will face this problem together."
Keith lowered his arm, letting it rest tightly around her shoulders. "You might not say that if you knew the truth," he said with half a smile. But there was sadness there too.
"Who says I don't?" she countered softly. "My beloved wolf."
He stared at her. She knew the wolf and him were one in the same!
Keith searched her face, hardly able to believe she could love a creature like him.
"Princess, please," he said brokenly.
"Hush," she said, covering his mouth with a hand. "Not here."
Closing his eyes, he nuzzled his face against her cheek, stroking her skin with his whiskers. Allura smiled at the purely wolf action.
They finally left the castle behind, entering the forest. The snow came down harder, the wind grew colder, and the wolves howled in canine celebration. Their brother had found its mate.
An hour later or so, they returned to the Castle of Lions. Keith sat up very straight, waving in a stiff-handed way as the rest of Voltron Force called amused greetings from the stables.
Allura had a wonderful time. Something had finally changed between her and Keith that left her with a feeling both festive and frightening.
She thrust her gloved hands in her pockets of her coat and waited until the boys entered the castle.
"The observation room."
Pulling his jacket collar up a little higher, he squinted at her. "Excuse me?"
"I will see you there after everyone has gone to bed," she said, looking up at him.
Keith answered with a slight nod, watching as snowflakes landed on Allura's hair and on her long eyelashes.

Keith stood against the rail of the observation room and stared at the mountains. In the moonlight they were white ghosts along the horizon. He watched and wondered if his pack was there.
The scent of peach drifted across his nostrils and he stilled, his sense warning him of her presence. He turned, and leaned back.
Allura stared at him, her heart in her eyes. "Hi."
Keith held out his hand to her, needing to touch her. Would she fight or flee? Retreat or surrender?
She crossed to his side without hesitation. She touched his face with trembling fingers, traced every line, the curve of his mouth, his dark eyebrows and his shadowed jaw.
"Do you know what I am?"
"The wolf that visited me a few nights ago."
He winced. "Do you find me repulsive?"
"No." She leaned forward and kissed him. "Please, tell me your story."
"I'm a werewolf. My father was a werewolf and my mother a human. Like my father and those before him, it is our duty to fight against evil, to give peace and banish suffering. Becoming a space explorer was part of the big plan."
Allura stared at the starlight in his eyes. This man whose kisses she craved, whose arms she wish to keep around her forever, this officer whom she knew beyond doubt that she loved... was a werewolf.
As a child she had heard legends of lions falling in love with princesses. Now she wondered if they had a kernel of truth.
"Like you, I'm a creation of God who created humans and all things in the universe. I have honor and pride. I have a mind, a heart and a soul. And I love you, Allura."
"And I love you. How could you keep this secret for so long?"
He lifted her hands to his mouth and kissed her palms. "I didn't turn into a werewolf... until I met you."
"I?" she croaked, then cleared her throat. "I awakened the wolf?"
"The change occurs when the subject meets his mate."
"I see."
He inhaled sharply. "You're frightened."
"No." Allura bit her lower lip before speaking further. "Well, maybe a little." She smiled nervously. There was so much she wanted to know. Was he immortal? Could he control the wolf? Could he turn her into a wolf? What about children?
He answered her questions patiently, and noticed the blush on her cheeks when she learned the only way to control his nature was to make love to him before the next full moon.
"Well, Princess." He said softly. "Will you be my true mate?"
They gazed at each other for a long moment, and then Allura threw herself into his arms. "Yes."
Keith framed her face between his hands and bent his head to kiss her. "Thank you."
"Thank Goodness Lotor hasn't attacked us during a full moon. Hey, there's a wolf flying Black Lion." She giggled softly. "Coran would have a fit!"
A bark of laughter erupted from Keith.
The scent of peach drifted across his nostrils and he stilled, his sense warning him of her presence. He turned, and leaned back.
Allura stared at him, her heart in her eyes. "Hi."

(A special thanks to KittyLynne for helping my muse with Coran and the reindeer)
Keith grinned openly at Allura's antics. She glanced up and smiled back at him. His heart warmed at the sight of her, wolf pups climbing all over her lap. She looked so beautiful. He loved his mate deeply. Maybe he had from the moment he had looked up and saw her standing at the top of the stairs of the old castle. Their union had been blessed with a son and heir, and soon they would have a second child, a daughter. The last four years had been the happiest he had ever known.
"Come play with us."
"We must leave the den soon, honey," he warned. "The moon is rising."
She turned and gazed at him. "Oops, I lost track of time."
The female wolf resting inside the den growled.
"Come." Keith offered Allura a hand up. "We'll have to run to make it back to the castle and welcome our friends."
After placing the pups inside the den with their mother, Allura was gone. Keith leapt after her, reaching for her waist, but her body was changing as she sprang away. Sleek golden fur now covered her skin.
Smiling, Keith followed her, his body stretching and contorting into the shape of a wolf. The female wolf glanced back, and then was gone, running lightly thoroughly the forest.
Allura's cry echoed in the night, calling out to him. Keith responded at the whisper of seduction, a streak of black fur silently stalking his prey.
Finding her playing in a soft bed of pine needles, he circled her, watching her every moment. Allura moved closer to him so that he could touch her with his muzzle. They looked at one another and then began to run together. The sounds of their labor breathing echoed around them, and soon began the serenade from the wolves gathered on the distant mountains.
Louder and louder the howls echoed around them, until they heard a man screaming.
"Keith!" Allura cried in his mind.
A white wolf came charging through the trees. The animal curled its lips and growled.
Instantly, Keith thrust the princess behind him, fixing his gaze on the beast. Whining softly, it eyed the Alpha for a moment, then turned and ran down the hill, its tail between its legs.
In the blink of the eye Keith was gathering the crumpled figure lying on the snow. Allura was soon beside him. It seems Coran got run over by a reindeer, he thought wryly. The animal probably got scared, broke out from the corral and Coran was on its way.
Minutes later, Royal guards gathered around, shouts for help filled the air. The Lions roared above them and their former teammates pushed and shoved to help, discovering their friend badly hurt.
Days passed as they waited for news regarding the condition of the Royal Advisor, while their spouses and their children remained in the Castle of Lions.

Coran finally regained consciousness to see a concerned Allura leaning over him, her eyes filled with tears.
"Princess," murmured. Her features slowly came into focus.
"Thank God. Doctor Gorma kept telling us you were getting better, but for some reason or other we couldn't see you."
Keith joined them and asked Coran what he was doing in the forest. He was following a report about a werewolf tracking rare Arusian reindeers as prey.
"Werewolves do not exist," he said firmly. Coran didn't need to know that Allura was married to one.
"Commander," he coughed. "Arusians believe in werewolves and werelions, and they would tell you so. Where do you think His Highness got the idea for the Voltron Lions?"
Keith glanced at Allura and sighed. "Do you remember what happened?"
Confusion clouded the older man's eyes. "I decided to check on the reindeer you got for Christmas, and brought carrots. They are like candy to reindeers, you know?"
Keith nodded. "Continue."
"Well, I had just fed it and decided to look around for any wolf tracks. The snowpack was quite high and soon I was out of breath…"
"Then what?" Allura said curiously.
"I heard a howl, and reached for my gun only to realize that I had left it. The howls became closer and I tried to run faster, when suddenly…"
"What?" Keith said urgently.
"I was plowed over by that damned reindeer!"
"Oh, Coran," Allura said, squeezing his hand in sympathy.
He glanced at her. "Don't tell Doctor Gorma, but I have nightmares about the incident. In my nightmare a huge black wolf turns into a man and carries me off." He rubbed a hand over his face. "And that man was you, Keith. You appeared out of nowhere to rescue me. Can you explain that?"
He smiled wolfishly. "Doctor Gorma said you sustain no permanent injuries. Perhaps it's the shock?"
Coran nodded stiffly. "However, my pride will never be the same."
"Good," princess said, sitting up right. "Then you will not mind if I have a good laugh at your expense?"
The door opened as Keith stood behind Allura. Coran sat up with a scowl to watch Lance, Hunk, Pidge and Sven trying not to laugh.
Allura glanced at Keith. "Can I say it?"
He smiled. "Of course."
"Coran got run over by a reindeer!" she cried, bursting into a fit of giggles. The space explorers laughed out loud. Princess has certainly embraced Terran pop culture.
He scowled deeply. "I'm not amused."
"Don't worry," Pidge said. "We caught the reindeer. Its life of crime is over."
"Doctor Gorma is releasing you this afternoon," Sven said with a hint of a smile.
"Too bad you can't play Santa this time," Hunk chuckled. "So I'll do it."
"And Nanny assured Doc you would be well taken care of," Lance said with a smirk. "Look forward to her sponge baths."
Coran shuddered visibly. He didn't know which thing was worse, Keith possibly being a werewolf or Nanny playing nurse.
FINIS
Coran finally regained consciousness to see a concerned Allura leaning over him, her eyes filled with tears.

Confusion clouded the older man's eyes. "I decided to check on the reindeer you got for Christmas, and brought carrots. They are like candy to reindeers, you know?"
Keith nodded. "Continue."
"Well, I had just fed it and decided to look around for any wolf tracks. The snowpack was quite high and soon I was out of breath…"
"Then what?" Allura said curiously.
"I heard a howl, and reached for my gun only to realize that I had left it. The howls became closer and I tried to run faster, when suddenly…"
"What?" Keith said urgently.
"I was plowed over by that damned reindeer!"
"Oh, Coran," Allura said, squeezing his hand in sympathy.
He glanced at her. "Don't tell Doctor Gorma, but I have nightmares about the incident. In my nightmare a huge black wolf turns into a man and carries me off." He rubbed a hand over his face. "And that man was you, Keith. You appeared out of nowhere to rescue me. Can you explain that?"
He smiled wolfishly. "Doctor Gorma said you sustain no permanent injuries. Perhaps it's the shock?"
Coran nodded stiffly. "However, my pride will never be the same."
"Good," princess said, sitting up right. "Then you will not mind if I have a good laugh at your expense?"
The door opened as Keith stood behind Allura. Coran sat up with a scowl to watch Lance, Hunk, Pidge and Sven trying not to laugh.
Allura glanced at Keith. "Can I say it?"
He smiled. "Of course."
"Coran got run over by a reindeer!" she cried, bursting into a fit of giggles. The space explorers laughed out loud. Princess has certainly embraced Terran pop culture.
He scowled deeply. "I'm not amused."
"Don't worry," Pidge said. "We caught the reindeer. Its life of crime is over."
"Doctor Gorma is releasing you this afternoon," Sven said with a hint of a smile.
"Too bad you can't play Santa this time," Hunk chuckled. "So I'll do it."
"And Nanny assured Doc you would be well taken care of," Lance said with a smirk. "Look forward to her sponge baths."
Coran shuddered visibly. He didn't know which thing was worse, Keith possibly being a werewolf or Nanny playing nurse.
