MIRANDA'S POV"Wake up, Wolfy Wolfy," I cooed. The beast's body jerked, and I scuttled backward, not wanting him to accidentally maul me to death. But I had this strange feeling that he would never physically hurt me. The surrounding was dark, and it was only me and this beast alone in this place. "Oh, I had the worst nightmare ever," it explained. "I was trapped in this body with a human girl," he finished, standing to his feet. He shook his fur like a wet dog as he tried to steady himself. His posture was intimidating, and he smelt of mandarin. He had his head hung low, still seemed disoriented."Well, about that Wolfy, it wasn't a dream," I spoke, and his wolf-head jerked to face me. His eyes widened, and he snarled, showing me his wolf-teeth. "Where is Nigel? What did you do with him? You ate him, didn't you?""Don't be silly," I shook my head. "He's probably in my body right now." I crawled up to him. He was so beautiful. I just wanted to pet him and feel his fur between my finge
MIRANDA'S POVValko and I entered the grand hall, and I didn't expect too much, but the jungle war I was witnessing was nothing my imagination could ever conjure. I almost threw up at the sight of all the red meat and poultry these wolves were ripping into. It was complete chaos in here. Valko hurriedly took his place next to his sister and his father. The blonde woman squatting on beta Valor's lap must be the beta’s mate. I grabbed a seat next to Valko.“What are you doing?” He whispered. The entire table was looking at me weirdly.“I'm sitting down for breakfast. What does it look like I'm doing?” I rolled my eyes. “Well, yeah, I see that, but your place is at the Alpha table, next to your parents,” he gestured to the biggest table in the room.I felt a burden like none I've ever felt, and I followed Valko's finger to where it was pointing. I gulped when I saw the black hair man shooting laser beams at me with his eyes. The little brown-haired woman cowering next to him was staring
MIRANDA'S POV“Do you have to smack your mouth like that when you eat?” I asked. Nigel was devouring the food like he was an animal. Taurus, however, was quiet. He refused to speak to Nigel for unknown reasons. “I'm a guy. This is how we eat,” he grunted. “Well I will not allow you to eat like that when you're in my body. You cannot let my mother see you eating like that.”“About that, I called your parents mom and dad, and they freaked the fuck out.” He tore into the roast beef. “That's because I call them mother and father,” I sighed. “Why am I not surprised,” he licked his fingers. “So what will we do about this situation? It's not like we can tell anybody what has happened to us.”“People would think we're crazy, and I refuse to spend my senior year in an insane asylum,” I shrieked. “This is so weird, it’s tiring.”“I think we have to retrace our steps to figure out why this happened to us.” He burped. “Yes, like the movie Freaky Friday.” I gleamed inside. Lindsey Lohan and Ja
NIGEL'S POVOK man, you can do this. You can do this, I whispered to myself as I glided down the staircase. It wasn't like the neck-biter could do anything in front of the parents without risk revealing the fact that vamp-demons exist. I will be alright, of course I will. I breathed slowly. I saw Mr. and Mrs. W standing by the door with their coats on. “Wait! Are you guys leaving?” I asked.“Honey, you know your father and I do brunch just the two of us every Sundays.”“Yeah, but you can't leave me alone with him,” I whisper shout.“Miranda, don't be like that. You know we trust you and from what we've learnt so far, Lazarus is a good boy,” Mr. W smiled. “Please, if you guys love me, you won't leave me here,” I pleaded. “I know. I'll tell him I have to do this brunch thingy with you guys, and then he'll have to go.”“Miranda Whitmore, I don't know what has gotten into you lately. Is this some kind of teenage crisis?” Mrs. W huffed. “Now that boy is so happy to see you. He brought you
MIRANDA'S POVI woke up with a terrible pain in my joint. It was like my soul was on fire. “What is happening to me?” I asked myself. The bed I was on was soaked in sweat, and it felt like something was ripping my skin apart trying to break free from within my body. “Miranda, you got to go to the woods now, or you risk changing inside this bedroom.” Taurus padded around in my head.“Are you saying this is me shifting?” I panicked. “Yes. You need to take me on a run. This is how you keep us wolves in control. This whole situation has been stressful on me, too. Taking me for a run will help my anger and keep my aggressive urges away,” he explained.I nodded in understanding. I struggled to get up off the bed. The pain was too much, but I felt I had to do what Taurus said, and I knew I had to be quiet. I didn't know how I did it, but I made it to the woods. Taurus told me to just relax and let him take control. I was already exhausted so I just let him take the lead. I felt my gums burn
NIGEL'S POVAnother day stuck in this weak body. I didn't know how much more of this I could take. Getting ready wasn't easy this morning. I settled for a pink sweater and a jeans skirt with a pair of white sneakers. I wanted to sneak out of the house this morning without being seen. I just didn't feel like facing Mr and Mrs. W this morning, plus I thought skipping breakfast would be the best thing to do. I quietly made my way downstairs. I almost made it to the front door, but before I could open it, Mrs. W came out of nowhere. “Morning Miranda,” she chirped, startling me. “Is everything OK?”“Ah yes. You just startled me a bit.”“OK. Sorry about that. Your oatmeal's on the table,” she told me, and my stomach already began to protest. “I'm not hungry. I gotta go." I tried to walk off, and she grabbed my arm. “Nonsense! Now you sit down and have some breakfast. It's the most important meal of the day. And oatmeal is wonderful for supporting healthy and regular bowel movements.”“Tha
THIRD-PERSON POVMiranda was just standing there, surprised to see Nigel inside the girl's bathroom. “Nigel, what are you doing in here?”“I can ask you the same thing, Miranda. You don't have a vagina anymore, so you are the one out of place,” Nigel yelped. “I'm sorry. I just can't deal with this today. I feel so, so hopeless,” Miranda sighed. Nigel softened a bit. He was there to rip Into her for splashing him, but he couldn't do so anymore. “I promise we will figure this out soon.”“You promise?” Her eyes got teary. “Yes, I promise,” Nigel nodded. Nigel seemed pale, and he looked like he was under the weather. This body he was in felt off. “Are you OK?” Miranda asked. “You look sick.”“Well you splashed me, so maybe I'm getting a fever,” he scoffed.“About that, Taurus had to do it. Your friends were getting suspicious,” Miranda explained why she had to splash him this morning.“Oh I see,” Nigel sighed. He understood why they did it. “And as for your vampire friend, I don't thin
THIRD-PERSON POVA month had passed and Nigel and Miranda barely spoke to each other unless it was about finding a way to switch back to normal. Miranda had been scouring the library at the pack-house, reading book after book, trying to see if she could find anything that could help them, but she always hit a dead end. Taurus missed Nigel, and he didn't speak much lately other than to tell Miranda he needed to go for runs. Miranda had been exhausted, especially with werewolf training and school work. Apparently, she found out Nigel was a straight-A student and not your typical empty-headed jock. She missed her parents, though. She missed her mother’s overprotectiveness and her father’s witty remarks. Nigel’s father was so cold and distant and his mother was always poised and polite, it made Miranda’s blood boil. “Hey, Nigel,” Miranda heard the sweet voice of Luna Peaches.“Hey, Mom. What’s up?” She asked. Living as Nigel for the past month had taught her how to speak like him, but sh
