Devastating Smile

That's New

Jade's POV

When I woke up from my all too brief journey in darkness none of the previous pain was there. Don't get me wrong, I was... sore but I wasn't in pain. My vision was clear and when I turned my head to look around it occurred to me that it was... off.

I realized I was low to the ground and when I looked down at my body, it wasn't there. Instead I was greeted by the sight of fur. An odd colored, dark gray fur enveloped my body. It took me more than a few moments to actually realize why I was covered in a thick, silky coat. That's new.

I turned back to face forwards and slowly pushed myself to my feet. I slowly turned in a circle, taking in the world in a whole, new light. As I turned in my little circle I abruptly stopped, my whole world shifting. Yet nothing around me computing, nothing processing or passing through my mind except the man that sat a few feet away from me. His hair was a mess, sticking out in unruly tuffs. His eyes shone with adoration, amazement, and affection. His face slowly faded from the stressed, worried, tormented look into one of awe.

His features completely took over all of my focus. A whole new Cameron stood in front of me. The man I'd already loved with an unconditional, irreplaceable chunk of my heart and soul was revealed to me as a whole new, impossibly more perfect. I couldn't get over how much I failed to appreciate his beauty.

The beautiful man slowly rose to his feet, his eyes never leaving mine. He paced his way to me painfully slow. I was too busy staring at him to even think about moving to meet him. All I could do was focus on him. He finally fished the tormentingly slow trek and reached down to my head. His fingers found their way into the fur behind my ear. All I wanted in that moment was him. I wanted him to be mine, forever. No one else was allowed to take something, someone so perfect from me. I wouldn't let them.

Cam slowly sank to the ground and pulled me with him. He stroked my fur peaceful and wordlessly. Contempt overcame me to realize that he was at least partially as enrolled by my presence as I was by his. I began to relax and rested my head on his thigh letting my eyes shut.

He abruptly stopped petting me and walked to the side. Before I could realize what he was doing he was back, except now, as the flawless wolf that had become a part of my life. He padded his way over to me and laid down at my side. His large form curling close to mine, causing me to rest my head on his back. His breathing slowed as he relaxed against me and began to fall asleep.

So much had just happened to me that it surprosed.me that I could fall asleep. Between turning into a wolf and... and seeing Cameron so... so differently. So many words could be used to describe how I feel but tired is not one of them. Oddly though, I wasn't falling asleep because I was tired. No it was because I was at peace. I remembered that this perfect beautiful man in front of me had claimed me as his. I was his. And he was mine.

I awake the next morning to fur. Mine and his sprawled out in the grass. I shifted underneath him which only causes him to wake up and glance at me with curiosity that quickly changed into that look of adoration that a poor girl would never get used to. His gaze searched every inch of my face as if it was the last time he would ever see it. He contently sighed then got up to go behind the same tree from the other night. He came back in only basketball shorts and went to the house. I went to follow him inside, not at all liking the fact that he had just left me before he returned with some clothes for me. A large t shirt of his and a sports bra of mine along with some of my undies. That's embarrassing.

Happy nontheless that he'd gone inside because he wanted to get stuff for me and didn't just leave me for no reason I watched him walk back over to me. He looked at me expectantly, "Are you gonna change back?"

Ohhhh... um... if I could, I would. I don't exactly know what to do.

He smiled knowingly, "Yeah, I remeber that. Took me a whole day to figure it out. Just sit back, relax, and do it. It's just like moving your muscles, just tell your body to do it and it will."

Easier said than done. I sat there for 10, then 15, then 20, then 40 minutes trying to make my bad change. I dropped my head to the ground whimpering in defeat. Just freaking do it! I mentally screamed at myself, and I did. My body corrected itself and reformed into a human.

I curled into an awkward ball in the ground as Cam threw the clothes at me and turned around. At least he knows some privacy. Now that I was back to a human, I wanted to talk. Things didn't exactly make sense the way I wanted them to.

I wanted them to be clear and simple, it wasn't. And honestly things weren't at all what I expected. Cameron had... another conscience self with him, Kaigen. I don't have anyone. And Cameron, he looked... indescribable after I shifted. Even when I was inhuman form he still had this previously neglected beauty to him. Why was it... different?
