Chapter Ten

Christian walked up to Anna and helped his body up. He didn't like how timid she acted in his body, but that was not important right now. They had to figure out what happened to them. Anna quickly covered her chest and genitals. Christian gently removed the arm that was wrapped around his chest and placed the hand over the other hand that was over his member. Anna looked down.

"I'll get you some clothes," said Christian.

Christian struggled to walk in Anna's heels and decided to take them off. She was too horrified to laugh at his awkwardness. Until she was wearing clothes again, she would not feel comfortable. She slowly removed her hands away from his penis and looked down at it. This was actually real. She hated how it felt. She heard light footsteps and covered herself again.

"Thank you," said Anna.

She grimaced when she heard his voice. They had to fix this. He handed her a black shirt, sweatpants and a pair of red boxers. Seeing the boxers made her want to cry. Christian saw his face scrunch up as if he was starting to cry.

"Don't, you're a man now," he said.

Anna started crying immediately. Christian silently scolded himself for being insensitive.

"I'm sorry; I know you must hate seeing yourself like this," said Anna.

"No, it's fine. I was just being…"

"An ass."

"Yes."

"How are you handling this so well?"

"I don't know."

Anna quickly dressed herself. She hated how aware she was of his cock. Were these boxers the right size? His cock felt uncomfortable in them. She looked at her own body again and she felt his dick twitch. She jumped back, looked down it and back at him.

"What was that?"

Christian did not want to have this conversation with her, but it had to be done. He reluctantly explained that their bodies may not be completely affected by the transfer. Some body parts may react out of habit to certain things. Anna felt suddenly nauseous. She walked toward the couch and sat down. Christian walked over to her and touched her back. She felt his penis stir again.

"Don't do that, please," said Anna.

Christian removed his hand and watched her. They needed to address what happened last night. Anna was supernatural and very powerful. Christian never thought to research other creatures, but now he needed to find out what Anna could be. His mother may know something.

"Am I not human?"

He heard the pain in her voice. She was terrified of herself. Much like he was after his first transformation. To be raised human and find out that you're something else almost devastated him. He didn't know who he was anymore. Was he a monster now? How could he go back to school? Were his brother and sister in danger? If it wasn't for his mother to guide him, he may not have become the hybrid he was today. He had to be that person for Anna right now. She needed to know that her powers did not change who she was; she was still kind and sweet, but she was losing her patience more. He would leave that last part out for now.

"Come here," he said as he pulled his body toward her chest. "You're still you, Anna. You just have abilities now. You'll learn how to control them."

Christian could barely hold his body in her arms. He felt her squeeze him. He kept his mouth closed to keep from groaning out. She didn't need another thing to worry about right now.

"What am I?"

"I don't know, but we'll find out."

"I didn't know you were this horny for me."

He laughed, but stopped when he heard how high pitched it was.

"Now you know."

Taylor stood in front the odd couple with his hand over his mouth. Anna stared at him without blinking and Christian looked more timid with his hands in his pockets and his shoulders slouched. Their scents were the same so the switch would be undetectable to wolves. Taylor removed his hand from his mouth.

"How did this happen," asked Taylor?

"We don't know yet," said Christian with Anna's voice.

"We know it's somehow my fault," said Anna.

Christian rubbed his back to comfort Anna.

"I can find out what I can discretely of course," said Taylor.

"Thank you, but first I'd like to speak with my mother. She may know something about this."

Taylor nodded his head.

"I'll get the car ready, ma'am. I mean sir."

Taylor walked away quickly. Anna laughed; Christian looked over at her, but smiled after seeing her happy.

Grace woke up in her bed, rolled over and inhaled her husband's scent. They had made love again last night and she enjoyed every minute of it. He was going out of town again so he had to leave early to catch his flight. She sat up and stretched. Her core was completely satisfied and relaxed. When she opened the door, Mia opened her door and looked at her mother.

"Good morning, mom and yuck," said Mia.

Grace chuckled.

"That's how I feel when you come home and smell that you've showered three times," said Grace.

Mia's mouth dropped open. Her mother just called her out. She knew the multiple showers would be obvious, but she preferred her mother to think she was covering up one man's scent on her skin, instead of two men. She wasn't ashamed of her sexuality, but she still couldn't bring herself to tell her mother about her preferences. Grace yawned.

"Breakfast should be ready shortly," asked Grace.

Mia was out the door thirty minutes after she ate breakfast. She was used to her daughter running away now. Grace had to remind herself that Mia was not a little girl anymore and she had a right to live her life. Mia always came back if Grace called her to go do something together. Grace wasn't much of a shopper, but Mia loved buying clothes, so Grace tried to use that as an excuse to see her when she wasn't working at the hospital.

Grace walked up to her bedroom and saw that she had a text message. It read: Hi, mom, I'll be at the cabin. I'd like to see you today.

The text read like they had something planned there. She called Christian back, but there was no answer. She responded to his text and quickly got dressed. The cabin was over forty miles away. She prayed he was alright.

Anna watched Christian try to convincingly portray her as she called into work. She hated that she had to do this, it was completely unprofessional. She hoped she would not be labeled a flake at work.

"Yes, I'm not well. I'll be in soon."

Anna shook her head.

"Tomorrow? Tomorrow, I will be there tomorrow. Thank you."

Anna mouthed the word Helen.

"Helen."

Christian hung up the phone and gave it back to Anna. Anna texted Kate to buy her some time.

"You think this will be fixed tomorrow," asked Christian?

"No, but I don't have a choice. Calling in today, may have ruined my career."

"I can buy you publishing house."

"I don't want you to buy me a publishing house. I want to work at the one I'm at."

"Well, I can buy…"

"No Christian!"

Christian closed his mouth and frowned. She was right, he couldn't buy her happiness and she loved her job. He would do whatever he needed to do, besides buying the company, to make sure she kept her job. He took his small hands and massaged his shoulders. Anna visibly relaxed.

"It's going to be alright. If something worse was going to happen, it would have happened already."

"How do you know?"

"I just do."

Christian actually had no idea if this was going to get worse or not, but he said it to keep her calm. Anna looked down at the penis.

"Again?"

"Just think of something unattractive and slightly pull at your inseam when no one is looking."

Anna eyes widened.

"Are you serious?"

"Yes."

Anna sniffed the air. A certain scent was moving toward the cabin door. Christian walked up to the door without thinking. Anna held his arm. Christian looked up at her.

"Christian, it's me," said Grace.

"We have to give her time to adjust to this," said Anna. "I'll answer the door."

Christian nodded his head and Anna walked to the door. She took a moment to gather her thoughts before opening the door. Grace hugged Christian's body immediately. Anna was rigid.

"What's wrong, are you alright," asked Grace?

She pulled away slightly to look at him. He looked a bit unkempt and his hair was disheveled.

"Hi," said Anna.

Grace eyed him again before turning to face Anna. Grace was glad to see Anna, if she was there then Christian couldn't be in too much trouble. Why would they ask her to meet them out here?

"Anna, it's good to see you again."

Christian closed the door.

"It's good to see you too, mother," said Christian.

Grace looked back at her son and toward Anna again. She took a step back from Christian.

"Son," she asked as she looked toward the young woman in front of her.

The woman nodded her head. Grace moved past Anna and walked up to Christian.

"What happened," asked Grace?

"I'm sorry to involve you in this, but we need your help. First, I don't want you to get angry."

Grace gave Christian her best mom look. What had he done? She knew Anna wouldn't be the one to blame for this nonsense. Grace exhaled.

"Under the circumstances, I will do my best Christian. Just tell me everything."

Christian looked down for a moment. He knew his mom was going to hit the roof after she found out he locked his wolf away. Christian told Grace about the break up and that he silenced his wolf. Grace was furious, but she remained silent to allow him to tell her the whole story.

"Anna has abilities, mother. She switched us and the only way we can fix this is if we find out who she is."

Grace looked back at Anna. It was odd to see his son's body look so unsure of himself. Grace walked up to Anna and hugged her. Anna hugged Grace back. Anna's real mother would never understand what was happening to her. Grace rubbed the back of her son's head.

"We're going to figure this out, I promise," said Grace.

Grace released Anna and glared at Christian. Christian shrunk back slightly.

"You're lucky to be here Christian. If it wasn't for Anna's new powers, you might have died or something worse."

Christian thought about the feeling he felt as he shifted. Pure feral rage was seeping out of him and manifesting itself into a monster. He looked at Anna. If he had hurt her, he would make sure he died soon after.

"At least you're scents haven't changed, so that will help you if your father shows up."

Christian closed his eyes; he had dinner scheduled with his father in two days. He doubted this mess would be fixed by then. He'd worry about that later.

"She's either one of two things," said Grace.

"What am I," asked Anna?

Grace turned around to face Anna.

"Did you have to say anything to make the switch happen?"

"No, I just wanted to save him and somehow I knew I had to switch us to make it work. Christian's mind and body was too weak to fight the transformation…I think I willed this to happen."

Grace exhaled. If Anna was what Grace thought she was, her son's relationship was going to become a lot more difficult.

Thanks for reading! I'm pretty sure a lot of you know what Anna is now, but I am going to save that for next week. Christian is going to be Anna's rock in this story, but her new abilities may get in the way of their relationship. They won't break up; they'll just be going through some growing pains.

I appreciate your reviews, comments and constructive criticism.
