Chapter 9

"You might want to sit down."

After Liam seeing Chloe shift and admitting to it, it was clear to say that Chloe was panicking. She was going to have to tell him everything she couldn't see there being any other way. She tried to find the right words to say, words that wouldn't, preferably send him off running.

"So what exactly did you see?"

"What do you mean?! What did I see, I saw a dog, my dog, lose it's fur, start to stand up and then... Voilà! There you are."

"Right... So um, here's the thing. I am your dog."

Liam just stood there, silently. His face unreadable. As he waited for me to continue.

"I'm a werewolf."

What happened next was something Chloe never saw coming.

Liam started laughing, like hysterically. Once he caught his breath he wheezed out, "That was good, you almost had me, werewolf." Cue another fit of laughing. "And I'm a zombie." His laughing continued, seemingly with no end, so Chloe did the only thing she could think of the prove it.

She walked up to right in front of him and shifted.

It was like someone had flipped a switch, his laughing immediately stopped and he stood still as a statue.

She slowly approached him and looked up at him.

"What the hell?!" "Ok, if you are a werewolf, lift your left paw."

Chloe did so as it slowly dawned to Liam, the situation he was currently in. "Could you like, change, so I can talk to you."

Chloe gave a nod and walked into the other room for privacy. She wrapped a blanket around herself, and summoning confidence she didn't have she walked back out of the room. Liam turned to her after hearing her approach, and a faint blush appeared, due to her clothing.

She stuck out her hand, "I'm Chloe, nice to meet you." She said with an over the top smile.

"We've already met."

"It was supposed to be funny." Chloe muttered, just loud enough for him to hear.

"So you're a werewolf?"

"Yes."

"And you've been pretending to be my dog."

"No, I am your dog. I always have been."

Liam just flopped back on the sofa and ran his hands through his hair. "This is so weird."

Chloe stayed silent waiting for him to fully process it.

"So what now?"

"Oh um, I'll move out, I can live in the forest in wolf form."

"No, no, no. Nuh, uh. You are not living in the woods, there are dangerous animals out there."

Chloe raised her eyebrows and gave him a pointed stare.

"I know, I know, but still..."

There was a brief silence, quiet and comfortable as they both thought of the path ahead.

"Do you need clothes or..."

"Oh no I have the stuff I wore to the party."

After Chloe was fully dressed, she entered the kitchen to see Liam making food for them both. She had absolutely, no idea how this was going to work. It was fine living with someone when you were pretending to be a dog, but as a human.

It was completely different.
