RHRH&TBBW #5

**Hey Guys, I have written Caden's POV in this chapter somewhere. I just have to explain how he felt and what he thinks. I haven't done a male's POV before. But then again, i haven't even written and published a story before so all these are new. I hope you could bare with me. Thanks everyone! :) x**

Chapter 5

My breath caught in my throat as he burst into a blurred mixture of shredded clothes, black, and fur? I can’t decipher if I was seeing right until a split-second later, a midnight black wolf stood proudly before me. His blue eyes that seemed so familiar were trained on my every move. Apparently, that wasn’t too many, because I was still sitting there, too shocked to speak or even move. My eyes were on the wolf’s, waiting for it to come to me. It was in level with my chest when standing. It sat up, making it taller.

I wasn’t scared. I was just shocked. You don’t see this kind of thing every day and it’s bound to make anyone crazy. In fact, I was admiring it. I wanted to touch its fur that was swaying with the breeze. It seemed so smooth and soft, it made me want to go to it and scratch its ears.

Nobody was moving. Even the boys beside me were quiet and I think they weren’t shocked at all, just waiting for me to go running the hell out of here.

I stood up, raking the chair’s legs on the floor in the process but I didn’t care. I was staring intently on the wolf in front of me. There was some kind of pull, urging me to come to it. To recognize who it was. I stretched out a hand whilst walking towards the black furry creature. It made a soft whimpering sound at the back of its throat making the hairs on my arms stood up on the end. The wolf moved forward, very slowly, as if waiting for me to bolt. I didn’t. Instead, I met it halfway.

My outstretched hand made contact with its fur and sure enough, it was as soft and smooth as velvet. I love the feel of it on my hands so I slid it from his muzzle, to its ears, scratching it slightly, making it whimper. Slowly, I smiled. “Caden,” I breathed.

Its tensed jaw broke into a wolfish grin. It lolled its tongue out and licked my exposed arm. It bark-laughed making me giggle. I moved forward more and hugged its big head. I know I should be frightened that there was a black wolf in front of me, but I can’t bring myself to feel that way. I buried my face in the crook of his neck and breathed in his musky scent. Instantly, my whole body felt relaxed. I pulled back and looked at the wolf’s blue eyes, confusion in mine.

‘I’m going to shift back so we could talk properly, okay?’ Caden’s voice said in my head. I gasped. Oh my god! I can hear him! I closed my eyes and nodded slowly. I opened my eyes as the wolf stepped a few paces back and blurred again. In its place was Caden. All naked glory exposed to me. I didn’t waste the time; I raked my eyes along his perfectly tanned skin; from his broad shoulders, his chest and down to his abs. and of course, I didn’t miss his friend downstairs. I smiled darkly at him.

What happened next was what surprised me the most. One moment he was there, his perfect body bare and beautiful and then the next moment, he was dressed again in a gray shirt and shorts. Maybe I was just too shocked to process the whole thing, but Caden’s body sure is HOT.

He was standing a few yards away from me, watching warily as if I would still freak out. I rolled my eyes at him and stepped forward, smiling sweetly.

He met me half way and smiled at me as if I was a goddess or something. I can feel the spark in the atmosphere, warping us with its eccentric power and passion. He held out his arms, encouraging me to go to his embrace. I did, still smiling. He genuinely smiled at me making my heart flutter.

“Thank you for not freaking out, Tammy,” he said as he breathed in my scent.

I pulled away and looked him in the eye. “Oh, I’m freaking out, alright!” I exclaimed.
