70 Fighting in the woods

'What are you doing? Let me take over!' Harold's wolf said impatiently. He had been scratching to take over completely since he sensed danger even before Harold did, but Harold kept pushing him back and restraining him. 

'No.'

'No?' His wolf asked in disbelief. 

'She doesn't know about us,' he reminded his wolf, who seemed ready to pick a fight with him as he looked down at Alicia, who was tightly holding onto his arm with her body trembling. 

He could swear that she didn't know about the existence of werewolves. So what would happen to her if he suddenly transformed right in front of her eyes? But he wasn't only worried about Alicia right now. He wasn't ready to experience such excruciating pain twice in one hour. Shifting was not a moment he looked forward to. Unfortunately, he didn't have any way to stop his compulsory night body shift, but he could definitely stop this one. 

"Are you scared?" He asked Alicia quietly.
