Me:
Just wanted to let y’all know that Elodie and I are about to shift. If you sense a beast, it’s her. Please tell the pack.
Farad:
Ah shit! I guess she was good with you having a beast and you’re not mad that she has one.
Sebastian:
Good stuff, man! I’m happy she didn’t trip. Hopefully, we can pull her into the pack eventually.
Thaddeus:
Yeah, that would be great. Especially if she gets close with the girls.
Me:
We’ll see how that goes. For now, I just want to experience her wolf.
I put my phone down when Sebastian told me to take a damn picture. Elodie followed me downstairs to the back deck then my backyard. I made sure the lights were turned on. We both undressed and put on bathrobes when we were in my bedroom. We both stood there awkwardly.
“Are you ready?” Elodie asked with a low voice. Her nerves sat on her shoulders. After I confirmed that I was ready, she dropped her bathrobe.
Seconds later, she shifted into her beast. Blonde . . . her wolf was blonde with small black specks on her chest. I marveled at the sight of her wolf. Her irises were an ice blue with golden flakes on the outer rim. It was mesmerizing.
“You are so fuckin’ beautiful. Damn, Ellie. I don’t know why you wouldn’t want to be in your beast more often. Have you seen your eyes before? Hell, have you seen your wolf before?”
When she dropped her head, I knew that meant that she hadn’t. That was fine because the house had superb video surveillance around the entire parameter. It’s what the Louries specialized in. I pointed toward a camera and told her to look up at it. I would be able to enhance the video for her to see her eyes clearly. I had never seen video footage that was as crystal clear as the footage from this home security system. She looked up as she was told to do.
After a few more minutes of admiration, I let her know that she could shift back whenever she was ready. Her bathrobe was in my hand ready to cover her when she shifted. She didn’t waste any time to shift. I quickly covered her. Farad told me that often, when they shifted back into their human form, they were cold versus when they shifted into their beast which caused extreme heat. Once she had the bathrobe on, I rubbed her shoulders. She probably thought I looked crazy because of my cheesy ass smile.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” she asked with a giggle. “It’s your turn, then we can put me in a bath. All my muscles hurt.”
My hand went behind her head to hold it steady for the passionate kiss that she deserved. Now that I’d seen her beast, I felt my beast’s obsession with her. Not just with Elodie, but herbeast as well. Once we pulled back from the kiss, I smirked at the lust in her eyes.
“Don’t look at me like that, because I will fuck you right here.”
I feltthem the moment Orion pulled onto the reservation. I didn’t need to see them. There were wolves here. I shifted into my beast for the first time when I was fourteen years old. Both of my parents had beasts unbeknownst to me, until I was introduced to my wolf.
My parents, Chogan and Mary, had Native American blood, but also African American. My father was born and raised on the reservation. The thing about this particular reservation was that it didn’t belong to just one tribe. It was a smorgasbord of individuals that were from various tribes. With that being said, there was a wolf pack there.
My mother, on the other hand, was not raised on the reservation because her father, who was Native American, hadan affair with her mother, who was African American. Her father wanted nothing to do with her. It wasn’t until her mother died when my mother was twelve that he stepped in. She wasn’t treated well because she was the child of the mistress. Her father’s wife made sure my mama knew she was the child of a whore.
My parents met and became friends when she was fourteen. By the time they became friends, my father had already been introduced to his beast. There was no reason to think that my mama would have a beast, but bam! When she was eighteen, she shifted. After that, my mama was her father’s favorite child because none of his other children possessed a beast like he did. That only further infuriated my grandfather’s wife. She gave an ultimatum that it was his family, or my mother, and my grandfather boldly picked my mother.
After my parents married, they moved from the reservation but stayed close. Later in their marriage, they were told that she would never have children. They went through their entire marriage without children, and then when my mother was forty-six, she popped up pregnant. I was a blessing to them, but in the same breath, they were ready to retire and live their lives. They didn’t know much about raising a baby in their late forties.
My parents were hard on me, but I loved them. We just bumped heads more than I liked. When my beast introduced herself, my parents and I formed a pack that still remained. I just kept my mind door closed.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” I asked with a giggle. “It’s your turn, then we can put me in a bath. All my muscles hurt.”
There was a major benefit to shifting often. It didn’t hurt as badly when you did. I hadn’t shifted for years, so the pain in my body right now was nothing to play with. I couldn’t believe that Orion had a beast. On top of that, it was a fucking centaur. Ascrazy as it sounded, I thought they were made up beasts for the sake of fantasy stories. People may have thought the same when it came to people who shifted into wolves.
There was something sexy and alluring about us introducing each other to our beast. It made me want him more than I thought I would. It felt good knowing I wasn’t the only one that had a beastly secret. Had this not happened, I probably would have kept the secret until I ended up pregnant. There was no guarantee that our child wouldn’t have a beast. Also, women with beasts weren’t always pregnant for nine months. He would have to know by then.
“Don’t look at me like that, because I will fuck you right here.” His voice was low and sexy.
This man was something else, and it was that fact that let me know his beast would be too.
