10 Chalter 10: Sleeping Beauty

Once when I awaken from my sleep. My surroundings were somehow familiar yet different. It's almost as if everything was the same, but somehow over time it changed. The walls seemed more aged and the moment I stood up on the floor. It creaked, I heard footsteps hurriedly to the door of the room.

The scent on the other side of the door. Wait... My senses, they're wonky. Did my... aunt... heighten my senses? What else did she do to me? Do I have magical powers now? Before I could even test my "powers" the scent grew stronger once the figure opened the door. It was Ashton, then it was only that i realized how greatly intoxicating his scent was.

Realization over rook me when I scanned his form. All his devilishly handsome features. All the intriguing details carved, smoothed, and shaped his body was. He was absolute and somehow that made me feel contentment.

With a bright smile on his face he ran right to me and he hugged, his grip tight around my waist. "You're finally awake. Did you visit the Luna or something?" He joked. Though, he was absolutely spot on, I think he might've not known about the fact that I'm basically related to her.

But, I decided not to tell him for it may be too much information to process. Hell, it was too much for me to process. His chin rested on the top of my scalp, but I pulled away. Needing to see his face again. He looked into my eyes as I did.

"You've no idea. How long was I out? Why was I out for that long?" The fact how the surroundings around me have changed felt extremely weird. Even Ashton has aged. His features were more pronounced as it all screamed handsome and damn right hot to me. This guy could seriously have a thousand chicks in his bed all at once.

"Natalia, look in the mirror. You've been out for the rest of the high-school year." I did as he said looking into the bathroom mirror. My features have changed dramatically, my cheekbones were higher giving my face a much more feminine feature. My body literally an hour glass and the dress I was in while I slept... He changed me while I was out?! He saw everything?! Though, i can't argue because the dress accented my body perfectly.

Definitely gave definition to my curves. Hell even my chest has grown to a full size of triple Ds. I looked like a fucking model! Is this really me?

"What the fuck?" I yelled. My body was tensed. My brain was in a frenzy of realizations. Without thinking I ran out of that room. The need to see the outside world was eating me. I needed to see the changes and the fact that everything happened like this.

Luna, what have you done?

I ran out of that mansion of his and into the woods. Some of the trees grew only taller, others have fallen onto the forest floor or onto another tree. All of a sudden, I felt the need to go for a run. I needed to let off some pent up steam.

My body began to feel strange as I felt bones cracking, rearranging under my flesh. Every organ was shifting, I screamed in agony. I saw fur growing from my skin, my hands and feet becoming large paws. Ashton, running out of the door he shifted in mid jump. My body grew and grew as I changed.

I had no idea what I was, but from the tail, the snout before my eyes, and the paws. I was a wolf. I heard Ashton speaking as if he was in my head. 'Natalia, your a werewolf?' He asked, surprised. I didn't take any chance to answer him .

Instead I ran deep into the forest, Ashton following behind me. I could hear a river nearby so I ran to it. Thinking I might see my reflection.

Sure enough, the moment i looked at my reflection. It has taken me a long moment to understand.

That white K9 fanged beast looking right back at me. I looked over the details, how the fur looked so white it had silver shimmers. Was this normal for a wolf? I could hear Ashton's thoughts 'I've never seen a beautiful wolf with such fur. What's with the purple crescent moon on your back and tail?'

Was this one of my powers? Could I read minds?

'No, Natalia. Its just a mindlink we werewolves use to communicate in either form, but mostly our wokf form.' He said

'What do you mean by the crescent moon on my back and tail?' I asked. He motioned his head back to the mansion.

'Follow me, I'll take you to a large mirror where you could see yourself.' He said, running back to the mansion. I hurriedky followed without hesitation.

He led me to the side of the mansion and he pressed his paw with a loud thud on some kind of pressure plate. Sure enough, a mirror appeared from the wall and i was surprised by it.

I looked at him and he looked back at me. He motioned his head toward the mirror and I turned my gaze back to the mirror. I slowly, hesitatantly walked to the front of the mirror. The first thing I see was a beast looking right back at me. Her eyes ever so blue, as if they were brighter then the ocean had twinkled of stars as if you could see a whole universe within them.

I turned to my side and sure enough I saw the crescent moon. My fur was definitely white with a shimmering silver. I looked like a fantastical creature from a fantasy novel. Sure even Ashton was a fictional being, but he's here in the flesh with me as wolves.

But as far as fiction goes. I looked to be more of an imaginative creature than he. Must be because I'm related to the Luna. My mother, Serena it all makes sense of her name. My entire childhood endured of unexplained behaviors.

Flashabcked to the time when I was 9. In elementary I had an overcomed feeling that felt primitive. The teachers thought I was one of those kids who was creative in the mind and made up silly things and played imaginative games with other kids.

I don't know why or how, but when I was playing with my classmate Cassie. I felt a need to bite, my primitive instincts that were alien to me at the time took over and perhaps to my disliking and guilt over it. I bit too hard on her arm and I pulled the flesh off. I ate her flesh as if it was the greatest thing ever. The most delectable thing that had such a juicy tender taste.

My snout wrinkled at the memory and I felt a strong hate for myself. I could sense Ashton saw my flashback as we shared the same mindlink. I stand on my 2 rear paws and used my front paws to smash the mirror in because of my reflection.

I wish I never done that, then I wouldn't have to feel bad for Cassie and had to make a full of myself. I continued smashing the mirror, my reflection broken in fragments. My paws bled as shards of glass fly off and soon they were flying far enough they cut parts of my body.

I didn't care. I coukd feel my body heal quicker than it should. That angered me more, I smashed my head onto the mirror with a hard thump. Ashton, hurriedly huffed me up in the air and I flew onto the soft grass. I laid there, hating myself.

He walked over to me, not caring about the shards on the forest floor. He laid next to me on my side as he licked the blood of my coat clean. 'Don't hate yourself. You're beautiful and you couldn't help the primitive side. Sometimes, none of us can at the young age.' Ashton said.

I closed my eyes and I let out an angry grow towards myself. The smell of crimson was thick, as i felt a warm stream fall from my head down the sides of my face. My head healing ever so fast. Ashton laid his paw over my back and I leaned into his touch, accepting his comfort.

'Natalia, I love you.' He said. Licking my ear and a territorial growl bellowed deep from his belly. 'You're mine.'
