Chapter Twenty-Seven

“You know, I don’t feel any different,” I told John a week later. He was at my house “studying” with me.

“I don’t think you’re supposed to feel any different. You haven’t changed yet have you?” John asked.

“Nope. I haven’t had any reason to. My life is perfect right now!” I said. I snuggled up to him.

“So, Brad isn’t bugging you?” he asked.

“No. I haven’t talked to him since I slapped him,” I said. I smiled when I thought of that. I don’t know why, but it was just so funny.

“Good. He needs to leave my baby alone,” he said.

“Aww. You’re so sweet!” I said. I leaned in to kiss him but he stopped me. “What’s wrong?” I said.

“Your imprint is gone right?” he said.

“Yes,” I said. I showed him my arm. There wasn’t an imprint there anymore. I thought it would only go away when I changed but it went away about a couple of hours after Eric bit me.

“Just checking,” he said. He leaned in and closed his eyes. I closed my eyes too and waited……….and then I felt a vibration. I groaned and John backed away.

“Text message?” he said.

“Yup,” I said. I opened it and read the text.

“Who’s it from?” he said, peering over my shoulder.

“Eric,” I said.

“What does he want?” he said with disgust.

“He wants to meet me in the woods to practice my “inner wolf” as he put it,” I said.

“The woods? Do we even have a woods?” John said.

“I’m not sure. I’ll ask him,” I said.

“What does he mean, practice?” he said.

“I guess he wants me to get mad and change so he can control me? I don’t know. I don’t know how it works,” I said.

“Fine. Go,” he said. He got up to leave.

“Are you jealous?” I said.

“No, of course not. I’m just…………..tired. Bye,” he said, and walked out.

2 hours later after finding “the woods” Eric was talking about, I was standing around waiting for him. I kept looking at my watch but he wasn’t showing up.

“Come on, Eric. I don’t have all day,” I muttered to myself.

“Don’t worry. I’m here,” he said. I whirled around.

“You scared me,” I said.

“Sorry. So should we begin?” he said.

“Ok,” I said nervously. “What are we going to do?”

“I need you to get mad,” he said.

“But why?” I said.

“You need to know what the transformation feels like. If you get mad by accident, you won’t be able to control yourself. So, if you practice it NOW, then you’ll be ready,” he said.

“I don’t know about this,” I said.

“Just try it. Think about something that made you mad at one point in your life,” Eric said.

“I can’t think of anything,” I said.

“Ok. We’ll just have to improvise,” he said. He came up to me and I had no idea what he was going to do. Then he pushed me. I fell to the ground and glared up at him.

“That HURT!” I said. I could already tell I was turning mad. And then, the transformation began. I felt little pinpricks all over me until it turned to a full body burning sensation. I screamed in agony. I felt my clothes rip and when I looked down, I had hair all over my body. I stood up and when I stood up, I realized that I was on all fours. When I looked up at Eric, I noticed that he had changed too.

“What do I do now?” I said to Eric. I didn’t really say it though because wolves can’t talk. I thought it and he must have heard me because he said, “Did it hurt?”

“Yes, it hurt!” I said.

“Good,” he said.

“Good? What do you mean, good?” I said.

“If for some reason you get mad anytime soon and change, it won’t hurt near as bad,” he explained.

“Oh,” I said.

“So you and your boyfriend…………John is it?” he said.

“Yea. What about him?” I said.

“Do you really like him?” he said.

“Well, duh. He IS my boyfriend, you know,” I said.

“I know. But what if I think you’re really hot?” he said.

“Then, too bad. You can’t have me,” I told him.

“What would happen if I told you that I know of a way to break you two up?” he said. I suddenly jumped on him and knocked him to the ground.

“Then I will rip your throat out with my new canine teeth. Extra sharp,” I told him. I was kinda kidding, but kinda not. Suddenly, someone attacked me from behind.

“Get off me!” I growled.

“Not until you tell me who you are and why you attacked Eric!” the wolf said. He sounded familiar but I couldn’t place who it was.

“I didn’t attack him…………..well, I did. But I didn’t mean to. I was playing,” I explained rather lamely. Then, the wolf got off me.

“No……….it can’t be,” the wolf said, backing up. “Tiffany?!” the wolf said. And that’s when it hit me.

“Brad?” I said.
