Tyler POV
I stretch my arms out in front of me while I look at them.
I still can’t believe that there was black fur there only a few minutes ago.
I really did it. I shifted.
I can’t lie. It hurt even more than I thought it would. Man, that hurt like hell.
Theo walks up behind me and wraps his arms around my stomach. “Hey, what are you looking at?”
A small smile dances across my face as I continue to stare at my arms. “I still can’t believe it. Just a few moments ago, I had fur all over my body and now, it is all gone.”
A soft chuckle rolls out of my mate’s mouth as he leans against my back while he tightens his arms around my waist. “Baby, that is what a werewolf does. You are now a full-blooded werewolf and when needed, you will grow gorgeous black fur along with some sharp fangs and a tail. You better get used to it, because you will be a
Just an FYI, I have entered this story in the Blessed Wolf contest for the novella section, so I have to keep this under 60k words. I was afraid that I would be over, but I think I've made it under. Thank you for making it to the end. Only one chapter is left and I'm hoping it won't put me over 60k. 😊
Tyler and I walk out of another university meeting with all the departments heads. After several years, they are finally listening to me and doing what I ask in order to speed the meetings along. It was a rough first year though, but they all have ended up coming around. I think they probably got tired of fighting. I’m not going to back down from my policies and procedures, no matter who they know or how they have gotten their title. None of that matters to me. In addition, I think it have surprised them that I didn’t let Alpha Marcus bully me to get his way. The previous dean had bent as soon as Alpha Marcus applied some pressure, but I didn’t. Well, Alpha Marcus did try, but he had no idea who he was messing with. Still to this day, none of Alpha Marcus’ pack know that Tyler and I are part of the Sun Moon pack, which gives us a leg up. Well, it doesn’t really matter now whether we have a leg up or
I set down the last box in my new apartment. I can’t help but sigh. I would have never guessed that this is where I would be when I turn 28. However, what can I do, when I can’t stand to be in my own home anymore. Everything is just a sad reminder of what I used to have and what I was hoping the future would be. I sigh again as I look around the living room. The room is so bare compared to what I’m used to having. Well, it does have furniture which is a little old and warn since it came with the place. The walls, however, are completely bare and so is the coffee table. There isn’t one single piece of décor and I don’t plan on changing that. I don’t have a clue what to do when it comes to décor and decorating a home. That was my mate’s job, and she did an amazing job at it too. Our home always would look and feel so warm and cozy. I can’t forget that it felt like home. Definite
Even though Theo told Fai that he doesn’t want meetings late, it doesn’t mean that Theo doesn’t end up working late. He is happy that Fai has been able to stop the meetings at 5pm, but he wishes that there is a way for him to get through the work faster. He still can’t figure out how the previous Dean was able to have all those silly meetings and still have time to do his own work. Theo has a hunch that the previous Dean had other people doing the work for him though. There is no way that he could be doing stuff, like Theo does, and have all those meetings.Theo’s stomach suddenly growls.Well, he guesses that is his cue to go get something to eat and go home. He still hasn’t really cooked anything at home yet. He doesn’t have the time. Similar to the fact that Theo doesn’t have enough time to do all this work. Ugh….Before his stomach growls again,
Luckily, the restaurant isn’t too far from the university. I have heard about this area. A lot of the students talk about it, but I’m always too focused on studying and getting good grades, that I don’t take the time to visit the area or even go out to restaurants much. Not only does it take my time away from studying, but it also takes money, which I’m very tight with. I have only so much that I can spend, and I don’t waste any on fancy meals at restaurants. The main reason that I have agreed to come tonight, besides Noah pestering me, is that he has promised to pay for my meal. Now, who could turn that down.As we sit by the restaurant’s front windows, Noah keeps glancing out and looking up and down the street, like he is waiting for someone. I furrow my eyebrows and lightly tap on the table. “Are you going to tell me why we just had to come to this restaurant tonight?”
BAM!I slam my hand down on the conference room table and slowly stand up from my seat, while I glare at the department heads sitting around the table. I have had enough.With my blood boiling and steam coming out my ears, I hiss, “I said that we have to keep these meetings to a two-hour limit. I wasn’t joking. I have been here for several months now and this isn’t anything new. You have had enough time to be able to adjust to my request. Wait. Not request. It is a demand, which I expect everyone to be able to accomplish.”I point to the clock on the wall. “LOOK AT THE TIME! We have been in here for two hours, and we aren’t even halfway through all the departments. I have stated many times that all budget requests must be provided to me prior to the meetings.”BAM!I slam my hand down on the table again.This is it. They ha
Ring….ring….ring….I tear my eyes off of the reports and computer monitor as I glance at my phone on my desk. My scowl is quickly replaced with a smile when I see Wyatt’s name flashing across my phone.Oh, it has been a while since I’ve been able to see him or even talk to him. I think the last time was when he came here for that meeting and that was weeks ago.I grab my phone and happily chime, “Hello, cous. How are things over there?”Wyatt’s cheery voice spills from my phone. “Hey, cous. Things are looking up here. How about you?”Wait. Looking up. Does that mean what I think it means? However, if I’m wrong, I don’t want to make him sad either. I guess I’ll just have to wait and let him tell me in his own time.I lean back in my office chair and push the documents across my desk and away from m
Noah huffs, “When are we going to celebrate us graduating? It has been over a week now, and we haven’t gone out to have a drink with our friends. I want to go and have some fun. After all those years of studying, we deserve at least one night of fun. Come on.” I continue to scan through the job postings online. It has been a week since classes have ended, but that doesn’t mean that I haven’t been busy. Besides making sure that the Dean has food every day, I have been looking for a job. However, I’m quickly finding out that it isn’t as easy as what I thought it would be. Most companies don’t want to hire someone with a doctorate degree. They are happy to hire someone with a master degree, but they don’t want to pay that additional money for the higher degree. I’m actually starting to get a little worried. What am I going to do to if I can’t find a job right away? Do I move back home to my parents’
Tyler knows that he shouldn’t have agreed to go out with Noah last night. Noah has kept giving him drink after drink and for some reason, Tyler isn’t arguing with him. However, this morning, Tyler’s head throbs as if the university’s whole marching band is inside his skull performing one for him. Not to mention, the dull ringing in his ears. Tyler stumbles out of bed. If he couldn’t remember all the events from the previous night, he would swear that he has run a marathon instead of him clubbing. Somehow, he manages to stagger his way to the bathroom and find some medicine. But his hands tremble as he drops a couple of pills in his hand that he almost drops them down the drain. He isn’t going to mention the fact that the room seems to be spinning or that everything is slightly fuzzy. He has to go back to bed. Noah is going to pay for this. *** This morning has been a good morning. F

Tyler POV I stretch my arms out in front of me while I look at them. I still can’t believe that there was black fur there only a few minutes ago. I really did it. I shifted. I can’t lie. It hurt even more than I thought it would. Man, that hurt like hell.

Tyler POV I tentatively look around the small group. We are the only ones standing in the middle of the field, which is exactly how I want it to be. The elders are here too, but I guess I don’t have any choice on them being here or not. Wyatt smiles at me before he glances around the group. “It is time. Let’s form a small circle. Kane and I, along with Theo, will stand closer to Tyler, just in case we are needed.” He turns back to the Supreme Elder, “Is there anything that we are missing?” The Supreme Elder smiles and glances at me before she turns back to him. “No. The people that need to be here are here. We just need to give Tyler the strength to go through his first shift.” I bite my lower lip. My first shift. My mate has even confessed to me that it hurts the first time, but after that the wolf handles the pain and you don’t really feel it. However, m
Tyler POVI look around but I don’t see anything. I know that I’m not awake, but where am I.I continue to look around, but I still don’t see anything. However, I could swear that I see something all black moving, but I’m not sure exactly what it is.As I try to figure out what it is, a soft chuckle fills the air. “You don’t know who I am. Do I have to really tell you who I am?”I don’t have to try and catch the movement again. Right in front of me, a big black wolf steps out of the shadows and stands right in full view. However, I’m not shocked or even afraid of it. Strangely, I’m comfortable.A smile appears on my face as I stare at the big wolf. “No, you don’t have to tell me who you are. You are my wolf, but I don’t know your name. Wait. Do you even have a name?”
I rush into my apartment. I breathe a sigh of relief when Finn and Tommy look up at me from the couch and shake their head, letting me know that Tyler is still asleep. I’m so happy I have gotten here in time. The downside is I’m still a little tense from having that meeting with Alpha Marcus. I know I was briefed on what the man was like, but that didn’t prepare me for what I actually discovered while talking to him. I didn’t even have to look into his mind to see the arrogance and mightier than thou attitude. I think people on the moon could see it. I’m not surprised when I actually did take a few moments to look into his mind and see exactly what he is doing. However, mindlinking with Wyatt and Uncle Seth, while I was leaving the office, didn’t help to relax me either. That man just infuriates me. There is no way I will sit back and let him try to take control of the werewolf community.&nbs
I still can’t believe what Wyatt has told me. Tyler is a dormant werewolf, who because of Wyatt and Kane’s healing is now transforming into an actual werewolf.I knew that our pack possessed powers greater than what we could ever imagine, but this is something that not even I could have thought about. I can’t say that I’m not happy. I would take Tyler in any form, but I’m ecstatic that he will actually be a werewolf soon. I’m just hoping that he also gets his wolf soon. I wonder when we can start mind linking to each other.I’m brought out of my thoughts as Fai walks into my office and chimes, “Sir, your appointment is here.”I look up at her and nod.I really don’t want to be here, but this appointment can’t be changed. He insists on having a face to face meeting. I have asked my cousin and Tyler if it is all right, along the Supr
Tyler POVI slowly flutter my eyes open.My body isn’t sore at all, and my energy is back up to normal. I don’t even have to ask, Wyatt and Kane must have been here while I was sleeping. I usually walk up at the end of their healing treatment, but I slept right through it today.My eyes instantly travel to the living room, where Theo is sitting and working again. I swear that is all he does is work. Well, that is until he sees me.A faint smile spreads across my face as my eyes are locked on him.Instantly, my body begins to warm up and a burning desire starts building deep inside of me. I don’t know what is happening to me, but if it means that I can have my sexy mate make love to me over and over again, I’m not going to complain. However, at some point, I know that this has to end. The bonding process will be complete, and we can go back to how we
I sigh in relief when Wyatt and Kane show up within only minutes. I know that they have plenty to do and a lot on their plate, but my parents just won’t listen to me. It always takes either Wyatt or his father to get through to my parents.I still don’t know why they are like this. Aren’t werewolf parents supposed to know when to ask questions and when not to? Or even what proper etiquette is? I guess my parents skipped out on those lessons when they were growing up.Before Wyatt can even knocks, I open the door. I lean towards him and softly mumble, “Thanks,” as Wyatt and Kane walk into my apartment. I don’t know what Wyatt has told Kane about my parents, but I hope he has given him the full story and not just a partial one. You have to be fully prepared when dealing with my parents.Wyatt smiles and gently taps my shoulder but walks past me to the couch, where my pa
I stare down at Tyler sleeping peacefully in my arms.This is a first. Tyler is a human, and he shouldn’t have gone into a heat, but he did. I’m going to have to ask the elders if this has ever happened before. Maybe it is because Wyatt and Kane have been healing him every day. I’m not sure, but it could be possible.However, I have to admit that he has turned me on even more than I already am. The look of lust in his eyes while he was moaning my name instantly made my body and my wolf want him.I gently kiss the top of his head and softly whisper, “Tyler, I love you.”In his sleep, Tyler replies, “I love you too, Theo.”***Ring…ring…ring….ring….ring…Ugh. What time is it?With Tyler still in my arms and while I’m still half asleep, I grab my phone off the nightstand. Without looking at
