Eyes of a Killer

It'd be more likely if I turned into a pumpkin

~ "Silly dog, what're you doing in here? Thaddeus left out that..." She trailed off, her teary eyes going wide when she realized that the door had stayed closed the whole time.

Oh shit. ~

...

Thaddeus' POV:

I sat there, tail thumping softly on the duvet, with my head lowered towards the bed as I avoided eye contact with my mate. My very clever, beautiful mate who was now in shock. I whined softly, licking both her hands, which were now shaking as she used them to shield her face from me.

I leaped down off of the bed and hurried into my en suite. I then shifted, returning quickly into my clothes. I was just about to open the door and comfort my mate when I heard her sob softly to herself.

"Oh, sweet Jesus why is this happening to me? How do I even explain this to anybody? What about my... Oh god no!" Crash. I forced my ass out of the room as fast as I could, only to find my mate staring in horror at the floor.

"What? What's wrong?" I held her softly by the forearms as I peered over her tiny frame, only to see that my alarm clock had fallen off the bedside table and onto the floor, the batteries still rolling. This is it? I was worried for nothing...! My wolf and I huffed laughter as we took in the 'damage' that Lily was already apologizing for. 

"Sweetheart, darling, calm down, it's nothing, really. You should see what happens when I forget I have a tail and try to come into the house! My alarm clock isn't even broken, I swear, just sit down and-" I was interrupted by a flurry of movement.

Lily was whirling her body to face me as she screamed; "YOU HAVE A TAIL?!"

Lily's POV:

"YOU HAVE A TAIL?!" I screeched, right into his ear, instantly regretting my thoughtlessness as he stumbled away, groaning.

"Yes I have a tail! I also have four legs and fur if I want to! Please don't ever do that again...! Us wolves have sensitive ears, love." He winced as he rubbed his left ear, the one that was right next to my mouth.

"S-Sorry, what? I need to s-sit down..." I tentatively placed myself on the bed, holding the sheets against myself as I looked up at the towering man next to me, now wincing about a "bloody banshee screech..." 

How do you even forget you have a tail? It'd be more likely if I turned into a pumpkin! I thought to myself sarcastically, not noticing that Thad had moved himself right in front of me, crouching low. 

"Well, it's actually quite easy, love, seeing as I was ten when I first started shifting." Flushing as I realized that I'd said it aloud, I flinched when Thad chuckled and tried to grip my hand with his. Almost as soon as I flinched, Thad growled and flung me into his body, gripping me tightly against his broad chest. 

"Mine. Nobody hurts mate. Must eliminate threats." I heard this mantra being repeated at least three times, feeling the thunder-like grumbling of his chest. After a minute or two, his grip loosened and I was able to look into Thad's eyes, seeing nothing but pitch black orbs.

His? This big oaf thinks I belong to him? After all this... The nerve! I twisted out of his grasp and stood up, him mimicking my actions. I placed my hands on my hips. He lifted a perfect eyebrow (How do they even make eyebrows like those?) as I placed my hands on my hips, over my makeshift sheet-toga.

"W-well then mister, we're gunna have a talk about manners and consent if I am to be 'yours'."
