Chapter 18

The sickening sound of bones breaking and realigning themselves startled me out of my trance as the wolf suddenly began to shift; tanned skin could be seen under the fur as the his snout decreased in size and morphed into the mouth and nose of a human.

His brown eyes locking with my own green ones as he slowly reached up and pulled a towel off of the banister before wrapping it around his lower region.

"I would never, ever hurt you," He spoke gently yet earnestly as he continued to kneel in front of me. His upper half was incredibly toned and muscular just like the rest of his body.
