Jacob was finding all this a little too hard to process. He wasn’t a human anymore. Lycanthrope … that wasn’t one of the “awakened” humanoid races. That meant he was a monster. But the only time in recent memory he was bitten was before he became a Scout, and monsters couldn’t gain classes. That was theoretically the reason why the racial classes exist. Somehow though, he had both. And he wouldn’t be surprised if Val also did.

But beyond having a monster class, and a regular class, was the idea that he was a monster. He wasn’t a human anymore. He had been violated, down to his core and changed in every way possible. And yet, he couldn’t find much of a downside from it. He had the ability now to shrink when he needed stealth. He had more speed at his disposal than he had before. His eyes, ears and nose had never been sharper. There was a chance he might be able to do a beastman form like Val did. I mean she said fox, and the beauty before him was no fox. He even seemed to have a subconscious danger detector, which he still needed to figure out.

Val … Val was like him, and she knew more about this than he did. She did mention teaching him more. She couldn’t have only been thinking about the arrow making they had talked about earlier… though those negotiations were still open now he thought of it. Not that it mattered much anymore. They were in a relationship now. They loved each other. The idea of a family with the elf was much more of a plan now than just an idea, even if only in his mind. But what would the children be? Half elves? Some odd rabbit fox elf cross breed? But that was hardly the point. The point was he had to learn more.

“… Hello? Jake? Do you hear me?” asked the foxy seductress in front of him

“huh?”

Another giggle. “you’re drooling dear…. No, dear doesn’t fit does it. Anyway, I was saying we need to get moving Jakey” she said, pausing to kiss his forehead “I know I just changed the world as you know it, but it was unavoidable. You needed to know what you were. As much as I hated to say it, having you so close and running out of control was a potential danger to me.”

“Wait, was that why you asked me to come out here?”

“What? Of course not Jake!” her pointy ears drooping, “I didn’t even know you were a lycan until you changed in your sleep last night. I went animal form as well and followed you to be sure you were safe. I think I scared you. Looking back though, a fox chasing a rabbit would be terrifying for the rabbit. Sorry. Anyway, when you ran into a hole, and looked like you were getting comfortable I came back here. I slept a few hours then started packing up”

“Right, well we got the stones, we probably head back to your shop to make the arrows”, Jake said pretending everything that had happened made sense hoping it soon would.

“As nice as cozying up together in my shop would be Jake, we can’t. Well, not for long anyways. We can head back long enough for me to pack a bag of supplies then we need to leave.”

“Why? Where are we going? What’s the rush?”

“There’s a group of people you should meet. They’ll help you, and there are things only they can teach you. They’re about a week’s walk north of town. We’ll grab you an extra quiver of arrows from my shop while we’re there. They should last you until you can make your own.”

“OK. How much for the”

“Oh, don’t worry about it.” she said with a passionate long kiss, “mmmm... what’s mine is yours. Even if we weren’t, after yesterday, we’re paid in full and then some… very full” the seductive smirk returning to her face.

“Aw”, Jake said returning the grin, “I was hoping that was just the first instalment, and I wanted to stay in debt to you for a very long time”

“Well, you can always make payments in advanced.”

“From the look of the expanding patch of wet fur on your leg, you’re due for another one”

“I can’t tell you how much I would like that” she said with a regretful yet needy look on her face “but we don’t have time for that right now. We need to head back if we want to make it a safe distance away from the city before nightfall tonight. However,…” she added with an evil looking grin and a wink, while going back to her bag “since you got me worked up, revenge is only to be expected. Look, but don’t touch.”

It was only then that Jake noticed something was happening to her. Her face flattened back into its normal features. Her feet reverted to their normal shape, and in a graceful wave up her leg, her red fur disappeared back into her tan flesh, all the while she shrank about 2 inches. This was when the “revenge” Val mentioned became obvious. As the retreating fur reached her waist, Jake, whose eye were of course following it up, realized the ass of the beautiful creature changing back into the elf he adored was wider than the elven form. As the hips and ass transformed they narrowed and became too slender to keep her skirt from sliding down, which is just what it did. What’s more her bust and shoulder size also shrank by roughly an inch causing her top to completely fail its task to keep her covered. With a smirk at Jake’s tortured self-restraint, she pulled off the useless garment and dropped it to join the skirt at the nude elf’s feet. If he wasn’t so busy admiring her entire changing body, he’d admire her ability to be completely elven, except she kept the adorable fox ears and tail. Walking around the bag and turning so she was facing away from him she bent over showing off her glorious assets while searching her bag. With an audible yet obviously forced moan, her tail slid back into the bottom of her torso above the displayed ass. This, on top of the leaking lips was too much for Jake, so against her orders, he crawled forward and licked the sweet nectar oozing from the fleshy lips before him.

“Oh Jakey”, Val said with a real moan this time as Jake used his fingers to explore her farther “I said don’t touch, but I had no ideaaaaa you had such talent”. Before either were fully aware of how, Val was on her back using her bag as a pillow beneath her head, her legs wrapped around the neck and back of her lover at her waist. Moving on its own, her arm reached down and after tugging gently on his unused arm to get his attention, led his hand to her breast for a massage. With some of the increasingly familiar arching of her back and a howling moan, she shot a stream of liquid down his throat.

“Jakey, I need another taste! Please!” She begged

“Who am I to deny the woman I love” he replied.

“Help yourself to a second helping at the same time”, she gasped in anticipation watching as he removed his shorts to reveal his throbbing erection. She unconsciously licked her lips at the sight and smiled widely as he crawled on top of her. She began to suck and rub with her tongue, as he continued his licking, and feeling her insides. About a minute in, his finger stroked something rough. With a squeal, and sudden pressure on his dick, Val squirted him once again, missing his mouth and covering his left eye and nearly squirting up his nose. Knowing the pleasure he was giving her was enough to send cum down Val’s throat. She slid him from her mouth, and cleaned his member with his tongue, making sure not a drop was wasted. “Oh Jakey” the winded elf panted just loud enough for Jake to hear, “all is forgiven… now get inside me!” Wiping his face, Jake crawled from his meal for a greater joy, wondering if he could convince her to change before play time was over.

Roughly an hour later, a rough loud sweaty hour, the flushed, but dressed couple started their journey back to town holding hands. Val was back wearing her white “outfit” under her open coat. Jake meanwhile had equipped himself for the journey ahead, by putting his brown leather armor on over his denim pants and brown shirt, with his dagger back at his thigh and sword at his belt. With a trip through the wilderness, you can’t be too careful. The plan was, Val was going to head to her shop to change and grab her adventuring gear and crafting tools. Jake meanwhile, was going to head for the general store for a few things that would be more convenient to buy than to hunt down. Unfortunately, they were about to run into a flaw in their plan. And just outside of the north side of town, Jake did indeed run into a flaw. Ran into it like a brick wall. Shaking off the momentary daze, Jake looked at the thin air he had just ran into. He reached his hand out and at the same spot, felt something hard resisting him from going any farther. He put his other hand on it and slid it across the invisible barrier. After a few minutes probing, he found it crossed the entire road and judging by the curvature, the dome encompassed the entire town. Val looked at him confused from inside, until something dawned on her. She crossed back over to him, closed her eyes for a second, and then reached out and leaned on the barrier.

“I should have known. I’m sorry Jake, but you can’t go into town” Val said with a look to Jake.

“Sorry why? What’s going on?”

“It’s why the city hasn’t been attacked.”

“What is?”

“The city, it has a barrier. Other than the enlightened, you know human elves dwarves and the like, nothing more dangerous than a rabid poodle can get into the city.”

“But I’m a”

“No, you’re not a human! Not anymore! And now that your status shows you’re not a human, the barrier won’t let you pass.”

“But you got in. You can get in right now. How?”

“A skill, and not an easy one to come across either. It’s from my own bizarre class combination. Unfortunately, I can’t use it on anyone but myself. You’re just going to have to live outside of civilization until we can figure out how to let you back in. Don’t worry though, I can get what we need and meet you back here in a few hours.”

“Ok … hurry back!” Jake yelled after the woman now jogging towards town.

Now Jake was stuck… He couldn’t go into town, and he didn’t know where these friends of Val’s were. All he could think of to do, was to go into the woods and try to not look like he was waiting for someone on the outside of the barrier. He found a large hedge like bush a little way in and pushed his way into it, so he couldn’t be seen. He then tried to see if he could change like Val did. Not into a rabbit, but into a rabbit human combination.

He started with his hand. With the little he knew about the transformation, his imagination was the place to start. Unfortunately, he had never seen this new form, so he wasn’t completely sure what to imagine becoming. Well, he knew the fur on his paws were grey, so he started there, and focused on pushing the fur out of his still human left hand. He threw it into reverse a second later when he started shrinking. Ok, maybe start smaller. When Val changed her fingernails changed to the claws of a fox. So, Jake focused on his index finger and tried again. His whole hand shrank, and he changed it back. With a deep breath he tried again focusing harder. This time, slowly, his index finger changed. It looked as if his finger had been stuck in a pencil sharpener, and out of the rounded off tip the tip of a claw emerged, and Jake could feel the rest of it. With only the minimum effort he slid it in and out. One by one, he changed all 5 fingers on his left hand. He then fell onto one knee and started gasping in breaths. It was harder than he thought, but there was some good news.

CONGRATULATIONS!

SHAPE CHANGE (SHP) has increased to 4

Call it a partial success, but it was enough for Jake to keep going. First though, he wanted his hand back just to be sure. He made a fist a few times, then started again trying to make it change again. This time, all 5 fingers changed at once, followed by his palm and fur covered the back of his hand before he stopped it, and reverted it back to normal. Then he changed his right hand, and back again. When he tried changing both at once however, it proved too much for him again and he had to stop and revert. By the time Val returned after being gone 2 hours, Jake was able to change up to his shoulders, and his head.

“Aw, that nose is so cute the way it wiggles like that” she said helping him to stand up and kissing him on said nose. “The way you can lay your ears down on your head, or make then stick straight up is quite the accomplishment for the first day discovering your hybrid form” she added scratching behind his large left ear sticking out of his head.

“Fanks” he slurred “de teef stl nee wok” and about a minute later, “Do they always itch when they change?”

“The teeth? Only until your body gets used to changing sweety” she said this time with a peck on his once again human lips, “but for now, stop practicing. We need to go. It’s nearly noon, and we should put some miles behind us before dark.”

“Yes mam” Jake said hoisting his own pack onto his shoulder.

“Hang on, need to be sure” Val said with a hand on his shoulder. She studied each leg, then the top and bottom of each hand, and finally his entire head before whispering “perfect” and slipping her tongue into his mouth for a few seconds. “So, shall we go?”

“Lead on” he replied with a quick spank. He really couldn’t help himself. Now that Val was his alone, he didn’t want to continue the restraint he had before. Not that he wanted to keep humping her every hour or so like … well like a rabbit, but he would show his appreciation when she looked nice. And the outfit she had on now was definitely a winner in that regards. Above the same hiking boots from earlier, she wore a pair of black jeans, with a light weight royal blue jacket tied around her waist. Topping the lot, was a bright red tank top. Finally, she had tied her beautiful brown hair into a braid. Her simple, yet effective combination of fashion and function made him want her in his arms once again, but they didn’t have time for that now. There were places to go, things to learn, and people to meet.
