Chapter 8

Ruby

The moment I shot out of the water everything looked so clear. So much more clear than I was used to. It strained my eyes a bit. I could see each and every strand of Yazmen's hair, all the grains of the sand on the rim of the water, and all of the pores in the moon, though the great distance away.

"Ruby, sweetheart! Come out of the water, please!" Yazmen calls, and as I'm about to do ask she asks and say 'okay', I realize I can't. Its like I'm being blocked from my body.

A voice that's not mine escapes my lips. "Your dear 'Ruby' is not in control right now," They say. Their voice is deeper than even Yaz's and much silkier as if they're talking in a purr. Confusion riddles me and I'm taken aback, though I can't show it.

"Who is in control right now? Please come out of the water so we can have a proper conversation," says Yaz. Her voice was much louder than it should have been and it made my ears hurt.

"Well, I don't see why not," they say, and start moving my body without my permission. I have no control over anything. Not one thing. Its like I'm being forced into a black and bottomless pit into the back of my mind where not even the deepest ocean could reach. I hate this feeling.

Before I know it, my body is out of the water and standing next to Yaz, dripping water. I feel stronger, yet so so much weaker.

"What's your name?" Yaz asks the one in control of my body.

"Wysteria." They say. "I'm Ruby's wolf, but also the first of many changes."

"Wolf? Changes?!" Yaz questions, frazzled.

Wysteria says nothing more and tilts my head up to the moon that's gradually getting higher. Once the moon is at its peak, waves of excruciating pain rake through my body, causing me to scream out and fall to my knees.

Yazmen was quick to my side and to pick me up and hold me against her. She whispers sweet nothings that I can't focus on in my ear as another wave of pain rolls through, causing me to whimper. I soon feel the tingles that come from whenever she touches me on my shoulder creating rhythmic dances trailing to my elbow. She kisses my head once she realizes I can't focus on her words but keeps her fingers dancing over my arm.

Once more, a wave of pain rolls through my body and causes me to cry out. It feels like my organs are being moved around and like my bones were breaking, shifting and shrinking all at once.

The pain soon became unbearable and took every inch of my body. Before my vision faded and I blacked out, I felt the bones in my face break and shift around, all while elongating.

Once I came to, I was up like lightning. Only... I was MUCH shorter than I remember being. Frightened, I called for Yazmen, but only a bark came out... What..?

Yaz was quick to go from pacing to by my side. She held my face in her gentle hands and started kissing my much longer nose. I whimpered. I didn't know what was going on. Everything felt so wrong... but so right.

"It's okay, beautiful, you're okay." She whispers to me, softer than ever. I don't think I should be able to hear things that quiet.

Shaking that out of my head, I looked into Yazmen's eyes. There was something odd about them. I couldn't place it. Yaz must have noticed my confusion because she got up, and took me towards the lake.

I followed her to the lake and almost screamed at what I saw.

I.

Was.

A.

Wolf.

How in the hell? But I was a human! I couldn't have shifted into a wolf! I never even heard her! Yazmen said that before she shifted, she could talk to her wolf in her head. I heard NOTHING!

Whimpers escaped my mouth and I felt my new tail go between my legs. My ears flattened against my head. Yazmen kneels down to calm me by petting my head, all the way to my tail slowly. Nothing seemed to calm my nerves. My heart was beating a million miles a second and my head was spinning.

'Calm down,' a voice inside my head told me. I instantly perked up and looked around. I did not expect that.

'Wysteria?'  I asked. My voice seemed to echo in my mind.

'Who else would it be, Satan? I think not.' She basically barks and rolls her eyes sarcastically.

'Okay, first, that's rude. Second, whats going on? Why am I a wolf?' I ask, curious.

'Because it's in your heritage, duh...' She trails out. 'Obviously, I'm kidding. Your parents were human, but they died, and nobody knew what to do with you so they gave you to science. They somehow found a way to extract me from my person before she died and put me in you. Oh, by the way, Yazmen is talking to you.'

"Ruby," Yazmen says, and I finally take notice. I tilt my head up to her and look her in the eyes. "Sweetie, it's almost 4 A.M. We should really get you to sleep, as well as me. You look exhausted."

I nod and move to follow her. She starts at a slow jog, and I start trotting behind her. This running on four feet thing was going to take some getting used to... But also the fact that I had a wolf now. Sure, she really wasn't mine, but for the time being, she was. And for that I was happy.

We soon got home and headed up to our room. I was so ready to go to bed.

YAY, ANOTHER CHAPTER DONE! HALLELOO! I've legit been writing the gist of this chapter between classes and work. woops. Maybe I'm super excited, maybe not, who knows idk

YAYAYAY don't kill me. Also, whats stated above has nothing to do with Ruby's mate bond with Yazzy-poo. When a werewolf dies (at least in my lore) their wolf soul does not, but any bonds from the previous life are... whats the word... I legit just had- OH! Severed! When a werewolf dies, and their wolf soul moves on (or in Ruby's case is implanted in her) all previous ties are severed. The initial pain of their loved one dying hurts them, but the severing doesn't but sometimes wolves can go a lil coocooo. More to come from mua, and your fave little gay couple (don't forget Wysteria(you'll find out more about her soon I promise))

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I really enjoyed writing it. Don't forget to
