Hello everyone!

I would like to apologize for my sparse updates of Wolf Love this year. Work has been eating up much of my time along with my hobbies for recharging after work.

In regards to Wolf Love, the next chapter is in progress and I have a few drafts scattered. However, I am hesitant to continue expanding while Volume 4 is being released. I feel it might be best to gather and analyze any new information revealed this volume before continuing.

But it would be unfair to all of you, making you wait so long until the end of the volume. So please enjoy these small snippets in the meantime. They are mostly ideas I've had while writing Wolf Love but was never able to include them into the story proper.

Wolf Snippets

Chapter 1: Those Words that Night

Light and fluttery.

Warm and…

A wistful sigh as her fingers lingered on the glossy pages, idly drifting back and forth without direction. They meandered and traced the pale edges that blended into rosy hues. Thin streaks marked their passage only for a moment before evaporating into the still air.

Silence surrounded her to the point her own thoughts echoed.

Ruby frowned at the magazine open before her. Her eyes skimmed through the passage once more.

So… mechanical. Artificial.

Her thoughts wandered and reminisced on just what brought her here.

Two nights ago, she shared an exhilarating experience. A moment where all of her hurt and pain was washed away.

What had happened? What was said? She could only recall the sensations.

Even now she could feel the hands cupping her cheeks. The scent that overwhelmed her vision. The warmth that enfolded her lips.

She was surprised at first and tried to back up, though her partner pressed forward until she was pinned against the wall. Without breath, without strength, she was nearly lost in a haze of white.

When Weiss finally pulled away, they were both gasping for air. Unused to what they had just done.

All Ruby knew… was that she wanted more!

Clack!

Ruby snapped out of her reverie with a wince. Her teeth still tingled at merely remembering how hard she had lunged at Weiss in her urgency.

But last night had been different.

She waited cautiously and feigned sleep though every muscle was tensed beneath her covers. Apprehension and anticipation were all that held her back, keeping her from bolting out of bed.

Only once she heard Yang and Blake's steady breathing did she risk slipping into the shadows and crossing the room.

Every step was silent and not even a hair moved out of place. Her night clothes seemed to cling to her form, unwilling to rustle despite her sharp movements. Zwei was slumbering nearby but he didn't even so much as twitch as her shadow glided over him.

By the time she reached Weiss' bedside, only a fraction of a second had passed.

Her hand reached out, lightly touching the warm sheets before hesitating.

What if Weiss turned her away? What if Weiss didn't want to share her bed?

Her uncertainty quickly crumbled as her trust in Weiss welled. The worse that could happen would be Weiss ushering her back to her own bed. She would be lonely and disappointed, but not much else. But if Weiss allowed her to stay…

The idea was too tempting not to try so Ruby climbed onto the bed, taking care to not disturb her partner.

Once settled, she gazed at Weiss' back. The thin fabric folded across her curves, bunching to the side and revealing the soft bumps of her shoulder blades. A gentle dip in her back made Ruby swallow hard. It took all of her self control to not reach out and run a finger down that graceful spine. Weiss' surprised shriek might have been all worth it…

But as Ruby admired her partner, Weiss suddenly rolled over and Ruby found herself staring right into icy blue eyes.

"Ru-!"

In a flash, Ruby leaned forward and silenced Weiss with her own lips.

She felt Weiss' shock and surprise. Was this the same as how Weiss had felt the other night?

Did Weiss lean in? Or did Ruby's arms pull Weiss' thin waist closer?

Regardless, Ruby purely enjoyed the moment. An intoxicating euphoria as she mimicked Weiss' actions. Every tilt of her head, every lean, every gentle caress of her lips. If Ruby felt this good when Weiss did it before, then she only wanted to reciprocate equally in turn.

…

But… that wasn't enough.

A strange urge welled within Ruby. A foreign desperation that she did not understand.

Why should I just make Weiss feel this good?

Ruby returned to the present with a light blush gracing her cheeks. The memories made her feel warm and only strengthened her determination.

That was why Ruby was in the library, reading the magazine in front of her.

Why? Her mind asked again tauntingly. Why when you can make her feel even better?

However, Ruby didn't know how. She hadn't even known she could feel that wonderfully until just two nights ago. She could only imitate what Weiss had done and even then she was lackluster. She needed to learn what else she could do.

Yet the magazine had been less than helpful. The steps it detailed, the interviews with beautiful men and women, all of it felt so… cold and empty. Her imagination did not excite at all. Perhaps a consequence of already having felt the warm and affectionate caresses of her partner?

Still, she wanted to make Weiss feel even better.

What was it…?

Something. Something in the back of her mind, lost under the sea of memories while she was drowning in pleasure.

Her eyes closed as she tried to fish out the memory, working through the haze that beckoned her to yield to rapture and ecstasy.

…

…

"You suck at this!"

Weiss' voice pierced through the fog, ringing her ears… and her teeth with the associated memory.

But what did she say afterwards? Weiss' voice was interrupted by her soft moans and the light smacking of their lips yet Ruby felt she was forgetting something important.

What… what was it?

… … Oh…

"So you have to… mmph!… practice with me…"

Ah, finding a balance between too much details and not enough details is hard~ It was interesting trying to write the scene from Ruby's point of view and we'll see what Ruby comes up with next chapter.

See everyone then!
