Axel and Archer-------->
Chapter 18
~Two Becoming One~
"You what?" Jeremy's face is filled with shock. He's probably extremely confused about my sudden change of mind.
"I'm ready to shift," I repeat firmly. His eyebrows raise, as he sits up in the chair. He tilts his head, then glances towards the window before turning back to me.
"Are you sure?" He questions slowly. I nod my head eagerly and he shrugs his shoulders.
"It's too late now."
"W-what?!" I exclaim, making him shake his head.
"No, that's not what I meant. Clam down. We'll do it tomorrow." I visibly relax, then tense again as my mind starts racing.
"But what if I change my mind?"
"I won't let you," he reassures. "I'm glad you changed your mind though. But—"
"No buts, Mr. Alpha," I warn him, already feeling slightly discouraged at the fact I can't do this right away. He scowls at me.
"Axel, this is serious. You need to know I've never done this before. I mean, yes, I was there when Sebastian and Archer shifted for their first time, but that naturally happens on your sixteenth birthday. Of course, I've heard of the necklace and its abilities, but I've only heard of it being used on people who have already shifted, not to deprive a person of shifting for the first time in general. So like you, I don't know what will happen. I can only guess." I suck in a sharp breath.
"And?"
"And what?"
"What are you guessing?!" Jeremy shrugs as he sits back, crosses his arms, and sighs.
"Worst case scenario, you don't shift." My heart stops as a lump forms in my throat. Which is odd, seeing as two hours ago, shifting wasn't even something I was considering. But I want this now. I really do. "Like I said, worst case. But, we have to try. Before going to bed, I'll read up on it, and see if I can contact someone for some more information...Okay?"
"Yeah..." I look up and smile awkwardly, "thank you."
He hums, then his eyes travel down my body, with a puzzled look plastered on his face. "Why aren't you wearing pants?"
I look down and notice I'm still in my boxers. The sweater I'm wearing is pretty long, so it reaches my mid thigh. I blush while tugging at the hem of my shirt.
"Here." I turn around to see Archer standing in the walkway, holding a pair of sweats. He probably heard mine and Jeremy's conversation. He holds out his arm to offer me the sweats. I unintentionally snatch them away from him and hurriedly pull them on.
"Thank you," I whisper and he nods, the corner of his mouth twitching.
Mike walks into the kitchen, juggling a couple of bags of takeout food. Jeremy jumps out of his stool to help him, making Mike smile gratefully.
"I hope you guys are hungry!" He cheers. Archer looks towards me and cocks a brow. I shake my head 'no' and he scowls.
"Axel, you're eating," he states. I look up at him and glare. He raises a brow as if daring me to protest. I roll my eyes, so he grabs my hand and leads me to the dining room, where we sit down.
