Self proclaimed monsters (Loki x reader)

4. A wolf?

Hearing your name so casual in the unfamiliar voice throws you over the edge. Your head spins, you can't hold it off any longer. You fall to your knees on the black marble floor, fear, confusion and a range of other emotions swirl through your head making you dizzy and sick to your stomach.

Images flash through your head. Looking down at paws with sharp extended claws where your hands should be. People cowering and running from you, others pointing weapons at you calling you a monster. Loki's voice,"it's not your fault." The full moon, calling to you. Searing pain all around your body. Loki holding you in his arms restraining you from doing something you wouldn't be able to regret.

You open your eyes, and Loki is Gone. In his place, a gorgeous jet black wolf, you always loved wolves. He ruffles his mane then leans down and licks your cheek.

You stand up only to find yourself slightly shorter than the wolf. You look down to see paws. You turn and see the rest of your body and your tail. 'Holy shit' you're a wolf.

You start to panic. This can't be real. You turn and look around trying to figure out exactly what's going on. The wolf comes up and nuzzles you. You see knowing emerald green eyes and realize this isn't just a random wolf. Somehow this wolf is Loki.

You have a memory, running in the woods under the full moon with this wolf; howling and playing and having fun. You look up at him, suddenly finding a new comfort in him, and nuzzle him back.

'(Y/N)? Can you hear me?'

You jump at the sound of Loki's voice in your mind.

'I-I hear you. Why do I hear you?'

'it's a temporary mental link.'

'Oh.. why are we wolves?'

You're curious but also super scared that you could be stuck as a wolf forever.

'I cannot explain that at the moment but I can tell you how to shift back'

'how?'

'Close your eyes and think about your body how it was before,  from your hair to your fingers and toes and everything else'

you close your eyes and do as he instructs. You feel a sort of tingle all around your body.

"Good job darling"

you look up to see Loki standing up looking down at you sitting on the floor, holding his hand out to you. He looks like he did when you met him except his clothes are different. Now instead of his armor he's wearing a green button down shirt and black dress pants as well as a black tie.

You blink up at him for a moment and try to get up on your own. You make it to your feet but immediately pitch and almost fall. Loki catches you and steadies you on your feet, not letting you go until you are stable.

"easy now, that's your first shift in a while and it is not out of the ordinary to be a bit disoriented"

You look up at him before the sort of daze wares off and you push away from him remembering that you only just met yesterday. Why is he so familiar? He acts as if he knows so much about you, clearly more than you according to what just happened. You become afraid remembering your past kidnappings and torture and back farther away from him.

"are you kidnapping me? Why are these images going through my head? Are you messing with my brain? Why can't you just leave me alone?!"

Tears start streaming down your face. It's too much. it's all too much.

"I wish you no harm"

he says and holds his hands out palms up as if to show he's not a threat.

"How should I know that?! You just show up in my house and all these crazy things start happening! You act as if we know eachother so well, but I have no memory of you before you showed up in my house!"

With that memories of you and him smash into your brain and you cry out clutching your head.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, we were close before a lot happened and they took you and blocked your memories and powers and it's taken me years to find you-"

his fast talking is cut short as he cries out in agony and falls to the floor clutching his head.

"Loki!"

You cry and immediately rush to him dropping to your knees trying to figure out what was wrong. Something is hurting your Loki and you have to help. You instinctively take his weak hands in yours and your hands start to glow.

After a little bit like that Loki looks up at you seemingly feeling better before his eyes drop back to the floor."I'm sorry(y/n), I'm so sorry."
