Haunted Wood Another Chance

eee warning for mildly suggestive material in this post i guess? 

Clarence was doing better. Developing into himself and becoming more comfortable. It felt... empowering. It made him feel good to realize that he was strong and he could be happy regardless of what his past was like. Maybe he wasn't doomed to be a horrible creature forever.

Santiago flipped him over quickly and Clarence yelped in surprise, red eyes round as they looked up at the man. Even if Clarence didn't quite know himself what Santiago meant, his hormone-riddled body certainly had an idea. His tail tucked slowly and he squirmed a bit, wondering why everything felt so... hot all of a sudden. This was more than the tingles and butterflies he'd felt from before, mostly centered lower in his abdomen.

"How?" he asked quietly, tone unsure, but definitely trusting as he looked up at the older wolf. The smell of fire and rain filled his senses and reminded him of freedom.
