Chapter 11
Tristan
The morning began relatively normally- my mouth tasted like road-kill, my hair was flat and in my eyes, and there was a slimy little reptile thing wrapped around my neck. Its name was Blake.
I yawned, stretching my arms above my head, waking up the snoring chameleon. I swear before he was a companion, he was already too human- he had an ego and everything. Making a bond was certainly not the way to douse that personality. “Morning sunshine!” he gave me an imitation of a grin, “Don’t you just look like the purrtiest little princess around!”
“Shut up, Blake.” I blushed, “At least I don’t wet the bed.”
“But you do have to clean it up when I do!” He chuckled in a breathy sort of way.
I shuddered. Suddenly the memory of his first night surfaced- I woke up thinking I’d drooled, but it turns the smug little thing had really relaxed during the night. And he was sleeping on me.
“Don’t remind me,” I groaned.
“Don’t start a battle if you ain’t gonna end it, sunshine.” That smirk was back.
I huffed, running a hand through my hair and shoving the blankets off me. “I’m taking a shower. Don’t follow me unless you want to drown.” I informed him, crawling off the bed, before noticing a tiny part of my anatomy was more awake than the rest of me.
Sigh.
It was gonna be another one of those mornings.
I jumped into the shower, turning it on cold, and told myself ‘today will be a good day’.
Ha.
It became apparent rather quickly after I got out of the shower that something was wrong.
“ROGUES!” Someone screeched.
Oh crap. That is not good. My primary shift, Moui, snarled.
Moui was my family name, and strangely, my primary shift’s also. It was a Japanese name, and I was sad to say I didn’t know what my family’s name meant. I spoke little Japanese, as I was raised in America.
My thoughts were cut off as I noticed something while scanning my room for threats.
Blake wasn’t there.
“Oh schist!”
I leapt into action; throwing on some clothes and following my nose as it lead me into battle.
The scent of blood permeated the air, and the angry snarls and roars of the shifters battling the rogues. As soon as I walked outside, I realised that there weren’t many rogues, well, not many in comparison to the forces id seen Dexter wrack up in my time working with him.
They’re testing us, Moui hummed as he watched a pack member, a humongous dragon, decapitate what appeared to be an oversized ant-eater.
They didn’t even send strong fighters? I pondered.
I was unconcerned by the battle, as the pack seemed to be fairing just fine, I was more worried about Blake deciding to go vigilante. “Blake?” I called.
I continued following his scent through the wave of rogues. I dodged a vicious-looking pigeon, and kept sliding between fighting shifters. I could hear Ben taking control of the situation in the distance, with Willow and Nixon by her side. In the back of my head, I noted that she had made a good decision in pairing them up. Jeremy was amidst the shifters to my right, fighting a crocodile which was snapping furiously at him. There were two other male commanding voices, probably the two visiting alphas, taking charge of their shifters. I was a little worried for Ani, but that girl was tough, she could handle herself. I’d seen her survive hell.
Gotcha! I spotted Blake a few metres ahead, fighting off what appeared to be a harmless caterpillar.
I quickly rushed over to him, scooping him up off the ground and onto my shoulder. “Aww man, what are you doing?” He yelled, “I almost have him beat!”
“Blake! That’s just a normal caterpillar you fool! What the hell are you doing out in this anyway?”
“Well while you were in there having a cold shower and trying not to think of Chris Hemsworth, I heard a damsel in distress! I had to go and rescue the fair maiden!” He puffed out his chest.
I face-palmed, ignoring his comment about my shower, “I’m taking you back inside.”
At that point, Kaz charged into battle, Ben clad in armour on his back, as they took down 3 shifters together. “Damn…” Blake sighed, “I want to be like that.”
I clenched my jaw, turning my back on the poor caterpillar Blake was abusing, and strode towards the house.
“That’s right! Run away, you little wimp!” A voice called from behind me.
I turned around in time to see that the harmless little caterpillar… was not so harmless. It was now a 6 foot tall African American man with a freaking eight pack and enough muscle to take down a tank.
Oh crap… Moui giggled a little at the situation.
“Fine.” I spat out, my body tensing to attack. I took three steps towards him, before breaking into a crouch, my hands in front of me, motioning in a ‘come and get it’ sign.
He grinned, rotting yellow teeth peeking between his lips. Well at least my morning breath can’t be as bad as his.
I was so focussed on this hunky piece of meat that I didn’t notice Blake gearing up for battle too.
And right when I was about to make my move, Blake made his first.
“SUCK IT, BITCHES!” He screeched as he leapt off my shoulder, hurtling in the air towards the large man. I think his action surprised us both, but that wasn’t even the shocking part.
The shocking part was when Blake landed on the ground. But he wasn’t a chameleon anymore. He wasn’t even Blake.
He was Moui.
He was my wolf.
