Chapter 8: True Nature Revealed

He watched the two of them laying in the dark, both were naked and the chamber stank of sex, dog and human sex, it disgusted him.

He edged closer to their sleeping forms and his lips curled into a tight-lipped grin as he saw who the dog was. He edged back to the shadows and waited to see which one would wake first, it was the woman that stirred first.

She rolled over onto her back and he could see the silhouette of her breasts, she had nice breasts he thought to himself, breasts he wanted to touch. She stood up and he watched her stretch; her pale, slim body elongated and he could see the dark patch of hair over her pussy. He hadn't had a human woman in years and he liked the look of this one, she made his dick harden as he watched her.

He was about to move when the dog stood up, he was next to her in seconds and he was touching those perfect breasts but his face was looking right over at him, he knew he was there the question was would he turn and show her what he really was. He suspected this poor human had no idea what she had just fucked; perhaps he would show her.

Jane leant back into his body smiling as his hands massaged her breasts, she still hadn't seen what he looked like but that would change soon, the sun was rising and the chamber was filling with daylight. Before she knew what was happening she was thrown against the wall and she heard a roar that made her whole body freeze in fear. She turned around quickly enough to see the stranger she'd been having sex with mere hours ago, he was taller than her with a muscular but lean body, his hair was long and dark, his eyes were green but that was changing. They seemed to darken and cloud over, his skin was darkening as well, it was then she noticed the other man in the chamber. He was tall and skeletally thin, his skin was white like paper and crepey and his eyes were dark, his thin lips curled into a smile that revealed fangs. She recoiled from them both and backed her body up against the wall, she continued to watch her stranger as he took on a more dog like form, except this was too big to be any dog it was more wolf-like. She grabbed the slightly ripped dress she'd been wearing last night off the floor next to her and pulled it around her not caring that she had no underwear.

They pale man and the wolf circled one another, the pale man leered at her occasionally and she felt sick,

' Well Lucian, the prodigal lycan survives again, who's your whore, you using her for breeding eh lucian? May I have her once I kill you?' he laughed and dropped his guard, the wolf, or Lucian as she now knew him to be, lunged and began to tear at the pale man. Jane couldn't scream all she knew was her legs were moving and she was out in the woods, her cardigan that had been hanging on the wall outside was gripped tightly in her sweaty palm as she ran up the embankment to her car.

She wasn't sure how she drove home without hitting someone or crashing her car, she was still in shock as she stood under the steaming hot water in her shower and rubbed her skin to get the mud off. Her mind kept flashing between the sex with "Lucian" and watching a giant, black, leathery skinned wolf tear a man apart. They couldn't be the same person; maybe he drugged her? Or maybe she was losing her mind? Right now either of those options seemed better than the reality.

She didn't leave her apartment for two days; she was too scared to. She called in sick and sat huddled in her bed like a child. It took Kate screaming at her down the phone about how understaffed they were and that the new wave of expectant mothers were outnumbering them to make her get up.

But she was constantly looking over her shoulder, she kept expecting him to walk out from the shadows in the parking lot or a wolf to run out into the road…like it had when she first met him! She mentally slapped herself for not making the connection sooner; it had been him that caused her to crash her car that night.

She arrived at the hospital and was thankful that every expectant mother in the area seemed to have chosen to go into labour; it was a welcome distraction from her own thoughts.

She got through a week of manic shifts without hearing a thing from him. It was a quiet night at the hospital and she was covering Kate's shift so Kate could go have carefree sex with some guy she'd met. Bet none of Kate's sexual partners transform into giant wolves that kill people she thought to herself. It had taken her a few days to get over the shock of it all now all she kept seeing was his face, those sharp green eyes that had held concern as he'd looked over to her. She shook herself and carried on changing the beds in the now empty maternity ward.

It was always eerie when the ward was empty and she was up here alone tonight, they were severely understaffed thanks to a virus that was going around so there was literally one nurse to a floor and the on call doctors. Jane was just grateful she worked in a small hospital and not he big one across town.

She heard the door swing open and looked up at the clock, 2am that meant it was Milo the orderly bringing her a coffee, he was a nice old guy who always made sure the nurses and midwives all had their caffeine fix on a night shift,

' Thanks Milo, can you…' she stopped mid sentence and saw him standing there, his sharp green eyes were fixed on her, she opened and closed her mouth but no sounds came out. He just stared at her, she jumped at the sound of whistling outside, that was Milo she thought, thank god I wont be alone with him. He glanced behind him and moved in time to be behind the door when it opened,

' Evening Jane, brought you a coffee' Milo said smiling

' Thanks Milo' her voice shook as she spoke,

' You ok you look a little shaken up?' she wanted to scream and warn Milo, but what could she say " run Milo there's a wolf man behind the door who's come to kill me because we fucked a few times then I saw him murder someone…you know in his wolf form", yeah doesn't sound crazy at all,

' Jane honey, you ok?'
