After a while

It took me a few seconds to jump out of the shower, wipe out my body with a towel, quickly put my pant and trousers on me, and ran to the kitchen.

"What happened?!" I found her sitting in a chair, William squatting down in front of her, squeezing her shoulder from time to time as if testing whether it is broken or not. I got everything, even without words. "It had started?"

"Yup. The second phase. Her shoulder is broken," William stood up and sighed, "The wolf can break her bones as long as it wants. I've seen many transformations, but I still can't tell you how much time we have…"

"How much time you have before what? My death?" Letty rolled her eyes, then screamed again and pressed her hand to her waist area, "Damn!"

"I need some time to think," I sighed and looked at her, then got closer and pressed my hand to her forehead. Her skin was "warmer" than usual, probably because of the breaking bones inside her body. She might even get the fever back.

"I can bear it," she said, then straightened up her back and raised her eyes at me. Her pupils widened as she looked at my bare torso with some droplets of water running down from my chest. Then, her pupils darkened, and I could clearly see how they changed their color from blue to amber. They became wide, we heard the crack sound of her bones, then she screamed and fell off the chair to the floor. I reacted quickly, took her in my arms, and pressed her to my body.

"You trigger her wolf!" William suddenly yelled, observing the whole situation from a distance. I arched an eyebrow, then stormed out of the room, then to the corridor. He joined me only on the street when I was trying to catch a car. "I needed to put the gas and coffee off, grab some clothes for both of you, and close her room."

"You're smart enough," I said, and saw a very familiar taxi driving in our direction. When the car stopped near us, I got with Letty in the back seat, while William sat in the front, "To the forest!"

The ride was quick, however, it wasn't as easy as I supposed. Letty's transformation was faster than it usually would be, and there was one clear reason. She had transformed before. So, yes, even after a break, her transformation was painful, yet, fast. We were talking about that, but none of us were expecting that fast.

I was thinking over William's words that I'm the trigger for her wolf to awaken when the sound of her bones cracked again, and she screamed to my shoulder. She was still in her mind if she was trying to muffle her scream.

The driver hasn't reacted to her scream, as he probably knew everything from the rumors going around the city or the news. I specifically told some things to the news to protect Letty from hearing everything at once.

When the car reached the forest, William rushed out of the car and opened a door for us while paying the driver. When I got out, Letty screamed again from her bones breaking and slipped out of my hands to the grass.

When I fell out into the grass, another strong punch hit me and one more of my ribs was broken. I rolled over, cried out in the grass, and felt tears running down my cheeks.

I can't remember my previous transformations into the werewolf, but if the next ones would be as painful as this one, I'd rather die here and now. It felt like the werewolf inside me was trying to break me and take my place.

Another punch and strong pain came to my backbone. I cried louder and clutched my hands into fists with a part of the grass as well. It was very painful and scary. Will she kill me? I don't want to die.

And I don't want to lose Aiden again, I'm scared.

"Letty!" Someone took me out of the grass, put me in something warm and cozy, and took my face in his warm hands. I opened my eyes full of tears and sniffed, the intoxicating smell started tickling my nose, and another punch hit my ribs. I cried out and after that, I was pressed to someone's strong male chest.

"Easy babe, easy please…" I heard a very familiar male voice and the punches stopped for a bit. I hugged the man's shoulders and put my head on his chest.

"I don't want to die! I don't want to!"

"You won't die, babe. You won't. It's just a transformation. I know it hurts."

I knew it was Aiden. From the pain in my body, I haven't seen who carried me in his arms all the way to the forest, but I knew it was Aiden.

I raised my hand and burst my fingers into his lively blond hair. It was so soft that it calmed me down immediately. I closed my eyes and felt his fingers wiping up my tears.

"It hurts as you weren't transforming for too long, so it hurts as in the first time. It will be not that painful next time. I promise."

His sweet and warm voice made me feel protected and safe. I cuddled up with him tightly, and he put his hand on my bright red hair.

"She just wants to be finally free. She slept for three years…" he whispered to my neck and started kissing it. I think he was trying to comfort me and to make my transformation less painful. I closed my eyes and concentrated on his voice. "Let her free… Imagine her strong body, soft black fur, sharp teeth… Just open the cage for her…"

His voice was almost begging me to transform. I could not resist. I concentrated on her and tried to feel her in my body.

{I know you were sleeping all this long. I know it was you giving me hints of my lost memory in my dreams. I know it was you calling me to return to our love – Aiden. Not only that, but I know it was you helping me to love him again and remember. I'm thankful to you, and you may be free, just… don't hurt me, and bring me my memories back…}

The pain vanished as if our fight ended. She heard me, she listened to me, and she transformed without any pain. I think I lost my mind or was just lost in her, I felt everything she did, but I didn't feel any pain. She was breaking my bones for her to change mine, she took my mind in possession, and after she transformed, she united with me. She made us be a whole, not two different parts, but her memories weren't bombing my head.

"Everything should be very slow. Too many things could hurt your mind…" I heard a voice from outside my head and opened my eyes.

Wonderful! I was a real werewolf! My smell, my eyesight, and my hearing were so strong, that I could smell a working motorcycle on the other side of the road. I could smell the other two werewolves except me and Aiden standing not far away from the taxi car that drove us here. I could easily see a squirrel jumping on branches of the oak tree a few meters from us. Not only that, but I could hear Aiden's fast heartbeat and voices talking on the road.

"So, she's a Werewolf? The original one, as Aiden?"

"Don't you know it?"

I shook my entire body and felt my fur shaking to the sides. I finally turned my head and looked at Aiden. He was sitting on his knees in front of me with tears in his eyes. He took my head in his hands and burst his fingers in my fur.

"Finally, you're back… My love…" he closed his eyes and tears fell down his cheeks. I felt tears in my eyes falling down to my fur. So I stepped closer and put my head on his shoulder, then sat down and pressed my wolf body to his human body. His fast heartbeat and warmth were still easily felt.

I put my head up and licked his nose. He opened his magnetic blue-brown eyes, and she-wolf suddenly jumped to the left, and pressed her head and chest to the grass, while her butt was in the up. She was wiggling her tail playfully. Aiden looked at me, then stood up and laughed.

"Wanna play, huh?"

The she-wolf roared as if saying yes, then jumped closer to Aiden. He laughed again, stroked the fur on my head, and looked back.

"I need to send them back. Wait for me here…"

Aiden turned away and disappeared into the forest. I heard his footsteps receding, and couldn't resist the idea of following him. I tried to step as silently as possible so as not to attract his attention.

Likewise, I kept the distance, so he was walking graciously just a few meters in front of me. He stopped at the road near two men. I notice a car and motorcycle not far away from them.
