Chapter 2
…
Beca woke up with a low groan. She shifted to get out of the bed, when a pair of arms pulled her in tighter. She gasped as the memory of last night flooded her brain.
"Chloe," she whispered in panic, "get up."
The redhead moaned and kissed the brunette's shoulder. "Mmm. Morning."
"Stop," Beca said. "Let me up."
Chloe released her hold on the other girl and Beca quickly climbed out of bed. "What's wrong, Becs?"
"We had sex last night!"
"Yeah. I thought you were cool with it."
"I was last night. Cause it's you and you're like my best friend. And it was good, but Jesse…"
"What about him?"
"He's flying in for the week tomorrow."
"What?"
"I was going to tell you last night, but one thing led to another and this happened."
"Do you regret last night," Chloe asked her.
"I cheated on Jesse," Beca replied.
"That's not what I asked. If you and Jesse weren't together and we slept together would you regret it?"
Beca paused. "I don't know. It's you, Chloe. I should go."
"Beca, wait."
"I'll call you." With the brunette got dressed and headed out the door.
…
When Aubrey came home for lunch, she found Chloe sitting at the kitchen table with her head in her hands.
"Rough night," the blonde asked her.
"Yes. No. Well kinda," Chloe answered.
"What? Okay, explain."
"I went to Beca's opening night and she was awesome. Really awesome. The kind of awesome that can make my wolf completely restless."
"Oh," Aubrey replied. Yes, the blonde knew all about Chloe being a werewolf. She had found out freshman year when she roomed with the redhead. Chloe tried to hide what she was, but eventually the truth came out one night. At first, Aubrey freaked out when Chloe told her, but she grew to accept it and learned everything about it since Chloe was pretty much an open book about it. "So she turned you on and you hooked up with someone?"
"I hooked up with Beca. We came back her, drank and then had sex."
"But, isn't Beca still with Jesse?"
"That's the problem. She woke up and freaked out."
"Are you okay?"
"I think so. I think it has more to do with the fact that she cheated on Jesse than she slept with me. But still, I want us to be okay. Because last night was more than okay."
"Really?"
"Yeah, I've never felt more at peace the night before a full moon than after I was with her last night."
"Well concentrate on that. And you and Beca will figure this out. Don't stress. It's a full moon tonight. Enjoy yourself."
"Thanks, Bree. And you know, I still think that you'd be a good wolf."
The blonde laughed. "You just want someone to run with. And I'm sorry, but I have no desire to become a werewolf. I like control too much to surrender it to the moon every month."
"Offer's still on the table."
The blonde shook her head, hugged her friend, and made lunch before heading back to work.
…
"Beca," her dad called. "Is everything alright? You've been locked in your room all day?"
"Yeah, dad," she replied through the door. "I'm fine. I just want to be alone."
"Okay." She heard his footsteps start to walk away from her door and she sighed. She came out of her room to eat and to use the bathroom, but otherwise she was there with her thoughts. She was disappointed in herself. She's always liked Chloe and last night she gave into her desire to be with the redhead. But, it came at a cost. She forgot all about her boyfriend, who adored her.
What unsettled Beca the most was the fact that she thinks that she's more upset that she became her dad than about anything else. He cheated on her mom and left her. Beca cheated on Jesse with Chloe. She didn't want to leave Jesse. She did like him, and he was the perfect boyfriend, but there was always something special about Chloe. And Beca feared that by sleeping with the redhead, she might have just destroyed both relationships.
Sighing again, Beca stared out her window. It was starting to get dark and she pulled up the screen and stuck her head out the window. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She found it oddly soothing. But her peace was short lived as she felt some strange movement in her stomach. She came back into the house and placed her hand on top of her belly. Just when she thought she imagined it a sharp pain ran through her body causing her to gasp. The pain grew and eventually engulfed her body in heat. She fell to her knees onto the floor and watched in horror as her body contorted against her will and her clothing ripped to shreds around her.
'What is happening to me,' she thought. She saw hair burst from her arms as her fingers shrunk into her palms. This is when she decided to close her eyes. She couldn't watch what was happening to her body and pain was gradually becoming greater. Everything hurt and felt like it was on fire. And sounds of bones breaking were beginning to haunt her. 'Just concentrate on breathing. In through the nose, out through the mouth.'
After a little while, the pain began to diminish and then eventually disappeared. Slowly, Beca opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was two dog paws instead of her hands. They were covered in fur the color of her hair. She tried to stand upright, only to fail. So, she tried to walk on all fours. She was surprised by how natural that felt. Walking over to her mirror she was surprised by what she saw. A dark brown wolf was staring back at her. She tried to let out a gasp, but the noise that came from her throat wasn't human. Thinking as logically as she could as this moment, she knew that she had to get out of the house. She put her front paws on the window still and looked over. She was on the second floor of the house and it was a big drop, and she was afraid of the fall. Just as she was about to lie down on the floor and hope this would be over in the morning she heard a howl in the distance. Immediately, she looked out the window again. She knew that she had to find that wolf. It was calling to her. Taking a deep breath, she hopped out the window and remarkably felt no pain when she landed on the ground below.
She smiled a wolf grin as she took in the night around her. Beca could feel the soft grass underneath her paws. She could smell the dew in the night air. She could hear the rustling of the grass in the wind and the crickets chirping loudly. Everything was so much more intense than she'd ever experienced. But then, once again she heard another howl, and without thinking, she tore off after the sound.
…
Chloe howled triumphantly as she caught and killed her dinner. She found the raccoon running to a tree, but she beat him to it. She was half way through her meal when she heard the sound of a large animal running towards her. Shaking her red fur, Chloe got up, ready to lunge at whatever was coming towards her. But, when she finally saw what was running towards her, Chloe lost all desire to attack.
Before Chloe's eye was another dark brown wolf. She never seen the other wolf before, but there was just something about her. She walked over to the other wolf and began to nuzzle her. There was a strong connection between these two wolves and they spent the night together. Only after they went their separate ways did Chloe realize why this other wolf felt so much like home. This other wolf was her mate.
