Chapter 5

When she woke up, she was a little disoriented but knew she was in an unfamiliar place.

"Hey, girl, looks like you finally decided to wake up," A soothing male voice said.

Confusion and panic filled her mind, but they were quickly replaced with a little relief when she realised she was still in her wolf form and thanked the Moon Goddess she hadn't shifted back. She wanted to get up but felt pain all over. The scent of the stranger also helped calm her down. Tis hadn't said anything yet, so she wasn't sure if this was supposed to be her second chance mate. But she was sure of the feelings she got after catching his scent.

She saw that she had a few bandages on her body and paws. She was also covered with a blanket on a couch. A hand was gently stroking her fur, and she liked the mini-explosions that popped up wherever and whenever the hand made contact. She was now definitely sure that this was her mate.

"I didn't think you'd wake up anytime soon, you were hurt pretty badly," The same soothing voice said.

She looked up to see a honey-blonde male with mesmerizing, winter grey eyes that she wouldn't mind staring at for ages. But she stopped herself and ignored the familiar feelings she felt. She most definitely didn't want to be played for a fool again, especially since he was human.

"I don't get why anyone would leave such a cute dog to die. And you're rather big for one, aren't you?"

He had mistaken her for a large dog, but it was a little understandable as she was smaller than the average wolf, but she didn't like that he called her a dog. She scooted away from him, and he understood her actions.

"It's okay, I won't hurt you," He held his hand out.

She hesitantly lay her head on it, mostly because she couldn't resist those mini-explosions, and he continued petting her.

"See? That's a good dog."

She growled at him, and he was confused about why she did. He thought that it was the petting, so he stopped. He then looked at the time and saw that it was late.

"Well, I'm heading to bed; I have school tomorrow. Do you want to sleep on my bed? You probably didn't understand what I just so I'll leave you to choose where you want to sleep."

After he left, she made herself more comfortable on the couch. She tried to fall asleep but couldn't, and there wasn't much she could do in her form to pass the time. That was what she had thought until she spotted the TV remote on the coffee table. She got off and tried to turn it using her snout. After many failed attempts, she finally got it right.

"Why is the TV on?" He asked, clearly having been woken up.

He tried to reach for the remote to turn it off, but she covered it with her paws. He then realised she had turned it on and got the message that she wanted it to stay that way.

"Will you at least let me turn it down?"

She responded by removing her paws. After turning it down, he went back to bed while she went back to the couch.

The next day, he was surprised to see that all her wounds were healed but didn't think much of it. He went to school while she stayed at home. He, of course, left her enough food and water to last until he came back. It went on like that for a few days. Sometimes he took her out for a walk, and he'd get into trouble because she didn't have a leash. But he knew she wouldn't like it because he had once tried to put one on her, and she resisted by shredding it into pieces.

One night, he was in his room when she came in. He didn't expect her to hoist herself onto his bed and lie next to him, but he showered her with loads of head pats. She couldn't deny that she liked it when he patted her head. Soon enough, she fell asleep, and so did he.

The next morning, he got ready for school. He went out of his room to take a shower and left Twilight to continue sleeping. When he came back, he was still in a towel but got the biggest surprise of his life. When he entered his room, he didn't see the large dog he was expecting to see, in its place was a young girl. Yep, Twilight had shifted back to her human form in her sleep. That wouldn't be a problem if not for the fact that she was completely naked and she wasn't exactly covered up.

He didn't pay much attention to that little detail and took a closer look at her. Her hair colour was the first thing that caught his attention, and it puzzled him a bit. The peaceful look on her sleeping face made her look as innocent as a small child. He couldn't help blushing at how cute it made her look.

After what seemed like forever, Twilight slowly opened her eyes.
