Camila's Pov
I roll over in my bed sheets and I look at the time.

2.27am

Ugh why can't I sleep. I get out of bed and put on an extremely oversized hoodie (size XXL because we like big hoodies) and I slip on my shoes and crawl out of my window and out of the house. I end up walking the usual way I do but this time I take a detour and decide to walk into the forest. I walk for another 30 minutes before I find myself at a bridge. The bridge where Theo's sister died. I don't even know why I was here I guess I like the atmosphere.

The sounds of the water splashing. The smell of the flowers and the air roaming through the air. The cool breeze that hits my bare neck as I sit down on the bridge and slip my legs through the gaps of the railing. I sigh and just stay looking out at the water as I think about anything that pops into my head.

After a few minutes of sitting there I hear a low growl from behind me. I turn my head and see a black wolf baring it's teeth at me.

I'm slightly worried as it starts to growl a little louder

I'm slightly worried as it starts to growl a little louder. I slowly flash my eyes their beta yellow colour and the wolf stops growling and comes over to me and lifts its head up at me. I smile slightly and I stroke it's head softly. I tickle it behind the ears and it purrs in delight. After stroking it for a couple of minutes I hear it growl again. I look down at it and it runs away from me and I turn around and see it shifting. Into a person?

I can't see who it is since it's dark but they take a step closer and I see Theo's face

I can't see who it is since it's dark but they take a step closer and I see Theo's face. Before I can see anything besides his face I slip my hoodie over my head and throw it to him and I look away. After a few seconds I feel him sit down besides me with my hoodie resting just below his thighs.

"XXL Men's?" is the first thing I hear him say.

"Hey they're comfy okay." I whine and he laughs lightly.

"Sorry if I scared you. I guess I'm kind of territorial of this place." Theo apologises.

"It's fine." I say and I look back at the water.

"How did you do that? Fully shift?" I ask.

"I learnt it when I first started to turn. Ever since I just do it whenever I want. It makes me feel unstressed and free." Theo explains.
