14. Are You Ready

"Uhn?!"

Nick squeezed his brows, unfathomed in glaring at her back while she lay indifferent,

"But why? You like to sleep while I shapeshift." He sit on the bed, he wanted to pat her but retrieved instead his hand grip tight to the book.

Abruptly, Naya adjusts to sit, she curbs her legs, wrapped her arms around it while her chin placed in-between her kneels to prowl her gaze around as if there is a heavy lump in her throat that could not allow her to talk.

Meanwhile, Nick is becoming more impatient, Naya sluggishly nudge her head towards him, look straight to his eyes, she murmurs,

"Not like I like it but can't I watch you tonight without playing dead?"

Nick feels his lips parted, staring at her likewise, he could not infer what her eyes were saying to him. Aside, the Naya he was very familiar with once told him he can't bear to see him shapeshifting in such chronic pains, this was why he hook up a defensive word, just to grant her wish.

Does she still remember and believe the lie?

"I guess you said, you're afraid and can't withstand seeing me turning."

Naya nods, she'd say that but she can't deny the fact about tonight, "I did say it but I want to see you tonight, will you be okay with your appetite?"

Nick open the drawer and put back the book, he seems condemned within him, necessarily unhappy maybe because he finds out Naya alway play dead when he thought she is truly asleep or concerned that she might still be frightening,

"I've eaten enough that I can't development any appetite even if you're dancing while I transform," he lied.

"What about you? Will you be okay? Can... Can... You... I mean will... you... truly... be... okay?"

He stammered, judging by how she do see her flinch on the bed, he is curious about her sudden change of attitude but for whatever her reason could be...

He should be able to give her whatsoever she wants.

"Can you...?" He reaffirmed.

Whereas Naya was curious about Lord Edam, she is very sure something is different about his werewolf shape compared to others but no matter how she try to figure it out, she couldn't.

Her sole conclusion was to see Nick in his werewolf, only then she can figure it out.

"Yes, I will... I mean I can," Her gaze sprouted confidence.

Nick stood from her side, somehow he feel awkward, maybe since he has not transformed in her present before or that Naya might scream out of fright as he does.

"Right now?" He questioned to reassure again.

Naya nods with her gaze fixed to him, curbing herself still, "Uhn!"

Nick cut her sharply, "Won't you close your eyes?"

"Nick! I'm okay!" She blurted out.

This is enough for Nick to be assured, he distanced from her, Naya could not blink from gazing at him, she'd determine to spot the difference.

Shortly, Nick's eyes stare up, his mind becomes void as his eyes first turn milky, swaying from the present as If no one was with him, he constrains himself to not stare at her with such eyes, milky eyes are for the Anonias, what if she can't take his slight moaning? Can she truly deal with seeing him in pain?

Suddenly, Naya could see furs running out from his muscular arms, his inner wears were nowhere to be found, likewise, his nails gush out sharply, then, gradually, his body starts to enlarge... enlarge... that Naya drools to trace him up.

He growls heavily, heavy enough to give one a cardiac arrest, Naya wonders how everyone in the palace would think of his growls; will His Lordship hear him? However, she firmly fixed her gaze on him.

Her body stiffens together on the bed.

Aloud, he growls out of pain, his fang shoots out gradually as he groans and glares down at her, Naya feels her heart skip. Still, she curbs herself unmoved, while Nick stretch his neck squabbling his furs that already cover his entire body alongside his face where his milky eyes narrowly stare at her,

He sniffs displeasing, fully transformed into a werewolf.

As Nick growl at her monstrously, Naya quivered due to his already milky eyes piercing hers as if scanning to attack her if she'd move.

Immediately without a second doubt, Naya rush out from the bed, she threw herself into his embrace,

"Thank you... Nick!" She whispered dreamily,

She appears like a tyrant before him, subsequently, his groaning pain subside gradually,

Naya smiles as she feels his furs tickling over her face. she is happier to spot the difference; His Lordship has a longer greyish hair weaves backward on his head while his face is not covered with furs, instead, he has the shape of a typical human face, just the brownish face and long hairy eyebrows that was different.

"Uhn!" Nick growled, then, lifted her in his arms to the bed,

"Are you afraid?" He asked laying her down.

"Not at all!" Naya bluntly replied.

Nick lay beside her on the bed, while she face the opposite side to him, he caress her sleek hair behind her ear, "Really? Don't my growls scare you?"

Naya chuckles, she turns to face him, "Why should I be scared of my twins huh?" Her head was placed closely on his shoulder, slightly lifting her gaze to see his face.

His milky eyes kept scowling over her, Naya feels delightful, her lips create a smiley face, even though she could not detect if he was smiling or groaning beneath,

Rather, Nick mumbles to her face,

"Are you ready now?"

Naya chuckles by his husky voice that made her vibrate, her head nods on his shoulder, "Uhn!"

She curled to sleep, shortly, Nick summon his scent, his eyes were closed, curbing her into his embrace from her waist, he made his handhold hers, greyish misty flames emerged from his body.

Gradually, it covers her up.

Naya feels the flames heating her, yet comforting that her eyes deeply closed involuntarily, absorbing the soothing pleasure that kept running down her spine,

Her face sleeps with smiles.

After sometimes, Nick glared down at her, he could feel her heavy sleeping breath,

"Are you asleep?"

Naya could hear him from the peak of her slumbering but seemed it difficult to lift her lips,

Rather she 'Humm'
