The Wolf In Me novel Chapter 3

Part 1 A werewolf's fight

"How do I shift?" I asked hoping to build some courage "and why am I kept naked?" I continued.

Mei chuckled and kept looking at my whole naked body.

"The first question is important. You just have to shed your skin by accepting your wolf allowing him to take control first. The rest is up to the wolf. This is difficult only just for the first time. The following shift would be easier and less painful as the skin and bones adjust to the change. The second question has two answers. First, if you shed your skin and change into wolf form, you end up tearing the only set of clothes you have and..... secondly, I like watching you naked anyway. Those tattoos make you look good," she winked and shrugged her shoulders in a seductive way.

She was trying to fix the situation she brought me into. Oh, what is she doing to me? She was putting me under her spell each time I looked at her. It felt like I needed her. A stranger that I only knew for a day or two.

"I do have one more question," I said watching her raise her eyebrows.

"Tell me why I feel like I need you so much when I have only known you for a few hours? I feel like I trust you and I feel so confident around you."

She smiled and looked straight into my eyes.

"You are my mate which means that our wolf chose each other as partners."

I stared right into her deep blue eyes frowning, trying to understand.

"Mates?"

I kept staring at her as she kept smiling at me.

"Mates," she repeated with a nod. "Are you ready for the first shift Alpha?" She asked enthusiastically.

I realised how much my skin was pulling and I felt ready now but I didn't know how to do it.

Suddenly I felt a jolt of pain in my hands and nails, and as I screamed with the pain I looked down at them and saw my skin peeling off like an onion. My nails turned grey and started to get longer. My fingers got wider and fur was coming out from them.

I gasped with shock and screamed again not sure if it was out of fear or out of pain. Mei walked further back and watched from afar trying to encourage me. I could feel my eyes burning and fell to the ground feeling pain in my back like it was growing in size.

I noticed there was a puddle of water just below me and its reflection revealed the red colour around my pupils. I started to breathe heavily as the pain was unbearable. I could now hear the wolf inside me groan and growl as it was releasing itself. Both my wolf and I screamed and growled at the same time and I automatically scratched off the skin on my body revealing my wolf's full white skin. Mei stared at my wolf with her eyes and mouth wide open.

"You are a pure breed Alpha. Impossible.. how can this be?"

I looked at myself in the puddle again with my grey eyes and saw a white wolf looking back at me. My wolf howled and wagged its tail and I could feel its excitement inside my chest. I noticed that my eyes changed from grey to red as I looked at Mei.

She started to take off her clothes and put them aside before she started releasing her wolf too. I noticed that her blue eyes were turning yellow, then as soon as she was turned completely, her eyes changed back into her usual colour, blue. She was beautiful beyond compare. Her fur was whitish-grey and it looked so silky, it made me want to touch it.

My wolf walked closer to her wolf, observing it's fur and scenting it. Mei stretched her neck to lick my face and my wolf returned one to her in acceptance.

I noticed that I was released from the chains as during the transformation my body broke them into pieces. Mei started to howl raising her head high. My wolf joined in and then they both sprinted outside and into the deep forest.

We chased each other feeling the wind blow against our furs and then as we reached the small pond Mei's wolf decided to halt. I stopped right next to her noticing that she was looking at different spots like she heard a sound. I twitched my nose as I smelled a really strong scent of something wet.

Mei's wolf lowered herself as close as possible to the ground. I sensed that someone was going to attack soon and my wolf felt it too. It started growling as my eyes twitched from left to right trying to find the intruder.
