At some time during the night I ended up waking up to someone next to me. I was still in my wolf form I could tell because it was dark in the room and no light was passing through the blinds, yet I could still see faintly. I tried to get up and ended up whining in frustration because my body wouldn't budge. I heard a hush from the area where my bed would have been and snarled at it but it only came out as a muted one. I heard nothing else, but I felt another fury body press up against mine. It was so tiny. For some reason I felt like I had to protect it and curled my body around it, wrapping my tail around it.

I must have fallen asleep because the next thing I knew I was shaken by somebody telling me to wake up. I did not feel well and I felt like being a bitch today. Technically I was since I was a wolf right now, I had an excuse. That hand came near me one more time and I snarled and bit it, only to receive a smack on the nose that hurt. I whined and finally opened my eyes to see Luke looking at me, holding his hand.

I wolf-smirked and he glared. That shut me up fast. Real fast, but I still smirked at him.

"Come on, change back."

Changing back sounded good, but I wasn't so sure I could. He must have seen my tilted head because he began to explain things a little better.

"Think about being human again and you will change back."

I snorted and growled at him. I wanted to see how far things would get. Power seemed to be radiating throughout my body, my tail rising as I stood up. He seemed to catch on that I was challenging him. He backed away slowly as I stalked over to him with fangs barred. I then caught him changing into his wolf form and snarled. In front of me now was the black wolf with those ice blue eyes that had attacked me back out my house. It was the same guy, same wolf, and we were alone in the room.

I snarled and he did as well. He knew as well as I that a fight was going to break out between us in our current forms. I made a move towards him, but he charged the same time I did right into my chest with his shoulder. It was a hard enough blow that it knocked the wind out of me, sending me to the ground, panting to try and regain my breath. But by that time it was too late, he had pinned me. Defeated already, I felt instincts kick in.

I relaxed body limp and barring my belly to him from underneath, my head tilted back. I was submitting to him. My pride had just plummeted, but not by much. He seemed satisfied and then returned the earlier wolf-grin. I was about to bring my head back up when he just collapsed on top of me. That too knocked the wind out of me as my head lurched forward and then rested back on the ground.

"Dude… so not cool."

I thought and then could only hear what seemed to be laughing from the wolf above me. Being still female, males were naturally meant to be bigger if they were to lead and then that leads on to being naturally heavier too. I mean, this guy was heavier laying on top of me and he was heavy- as in… I can't get up!

"Are you going to listen to me now?"

I heard in my head a few seconds later. It was Luke obviously talking to me. I snorted, which sort of failed since the weight on me was still heavy. However, I nodded my head the best I good in a 'yes'.

"Good."

I heard from him again and felt his weight lifting off my body. As soon as he was completely off of me I got up as well, taking time to stretch. I still stood, but I saw Luke sitting a couple of feet away from me and giving me some space.

"Ok, ready to change back?"

I only nodded my head in response, ready to change back to my human body, though the wolf form was nice too.

"Listen and listen well. It's quite simple, but you need to concentrate. Think about being human, from your toes to your head. Just think about being you. That's all it takes to change back."

"Sounds simple enough."

"Just shut up and try it."

"Fine."

The little conversation went on until I took a breath, thinking about my human self. Slowly as I concentrated I began to feel the shifting that would turn me back into my human self. Once done, I was standing. I glanced towards Luke only to see him grinning, panting, and wagging his tail. I lifted a brow to question him, but he ignored my eyes. I looked down at myself because he was staring at me only to realize that I was naked!

I shrieked and grabbed the sheets from the make-shift bed I was earlier sleeping on and did my best to cover myself up. I only had time to cover just the front of me when I noticed he was shifting back to his human body too. He had pants on. What the heck? How come I didn't have clothes on?

Ok, ok, I know it's been so long and you probably want to kill me right now. I'm so sorry! I know this chapter is shorter than the others, but I wanted to at least get something up for those who like the story. Also, the chapters may be shorter like this one from now on so that I should be able to update faster. I hope that's ok.
