MIRANDA'S POV“Taurus, I'm so tired,” I complained, but just like the other times I tried talking to Taurus outside of training, he didn't reply. “Are you still not speaking to me, Wolfy?”“Don't call me that,” the wolf growled. “I have accepted the fact that I may be stuck with you for the rest of my life, but it doesn't mean I want to be friends.”“I understand. I'm just trying to cheer you up. I know you miss Nigel. I miss my body too, plus I miss my friends Clarke and Roger. I haven't spoken to them since this body exchange from hell happened,” I sighed. “But we cannot give up.”“Well, both you and Nigel are at fault for this. If he had let you die in those woods that night, then this would not have happened,” Taurus growled, then it hit me. Something in those woods must have been the reason for all of this.“Taurus, you're a genius!” I beamed.“I am?” He asked. “I mean, I know I am. But may I ask, why did you feel the need to point out my awesomeness just now?”“The woods. You sai
NIGEL’S POV“Taurus, buddy, I’ve missed you,” I said as I realized Miranda’s eyes were glowing gold, which means Taurus was at the forefront. “I missed you too, Nigel. I don’t know how much more of this I can take,” he complained. “This chick is weak, and it’s making me weak. She is struggling so hard in training it’s making us look bad.”“I understand, but she’s a human stuck in a werewolf’s body. We cannot expect much from her,” I tried to get him to go easy on her.“I can hear you guys, you know,” she took control back from Taurus, but only for a few seconds. “I’m doing the best that I can.” We ignored her.“Nigel. It’s been a month now since we’re like this. We have to seek help or at least tell someone,” Taurus stated. “But who do we trust with this? Mom and Dad will think I’m crazy, plus I don’t think the pack doctor has a pill we can take to make this go away,” I huffed. “If Dad ever finds out that Miranda knows about us, it won’t be pretty.”“True,” Taurus agreed. “Maybe we s
MIRANDA'S POV“Well, you could always—masturbate,” he smirked. And as soon as those words left his lips. Something strange began. What was happening to me? This feeling like I was being sucked up to the heavens was now eating at my senses. If Nigel's hands weren't around my waist, I would have maybe floated away. He smelt so good, like pineapple and ginger. I found it weird. Was this how I normally smelt? A warmth crept up from deep within and settled in my groin. I was fighting the urge to kiss him. Was this wrong? Kissing him while we were in this state? But I couldn't help it. I felt the pole inside my pants. I knew my face was now flushed. I wanted to take him right there, but Taurus held me back. “Calm down, child,” he roared. I blinked rapidly, then I shoved Nigel off me.“You're nasty. Of course, I'm not going to do that.”“Alright then, suit yourself,” he grinned wickedly.“So I guess I’ll see you at school tomorrow,” I told him.“Actually, you’ll be giving me a ride to schoo
THIRD PERSON POVLazarus couldn’t believe that Miranda invited him to a she-wolf’s moonday party, but he couldn’t turn it down, it wasn’t a gentlemanly thing to do. He just didn’t have it in him to turn down a lady’s invite. He decided to arrive earlier with some of his vampire buddies and check out this mystery of the Bloodshed Woods. He had never heard of a vampire going feral in over five hundred years. Furthermore, he needed to see this for himself before he mentioned it to his father. “Are you sure we’re going the right way, sire?” His right-hand man, Fitzroy asked him. Fitzroy was the first and only vampire Lazarus had ever turned.“Yes. I’m positive. I’m following the directions of the girl who almost got hurt by the feral,” Lazarus pointed out. He kept the girl’s identity a secret. He couldn’t risk letting his friends know that a human girl knows their secret. “I smell something. It’s like burnt flesh,” Seros explained. “I smell it too,” Lazarus added. The three vampires fo
THIRD PERSON POV“Why the hell did Valko have to throw the party out in the woods?” Miranda complained. “Why couldn't he keep it in the ballroom or even the courtyard?”“Because he didn't want the parentals around,” Duran answered. “What's your problem, Nigel? Lighten up.”Miranda rolled her eyes. She dreaded the woods ever since she saw the feral vampire. Well, at least the party was in the opposite direction of the Bloodshed Woods. She followed Duran and Shelly-Ann towards an old concrete structure. The music was already blaring and rainbow coloured lights were flickering outside. “Now this is sick,” Shelly beamed. “Yeah, let's go inside,” Duran grabbed her hand and ran off to the entrance. Miranda stayed behind a bit, catching her breath. This was her first real party, plus it was filled with werewolves from other packs too, so she was a little nervous. The bushes to the side rustled, and her head shot towards the sound. She let out a sigh of relief when she saw Lazarus and two oth
MIRANDA’S POVNo one could see the dance floor. It was wall to wall of people dancing to the techno music. There was no room for any more people, but somehow when Nigel and I hit it the space magically appeared. The music was all nineteen nineties, but we were dancing like it was jive, twisting, turning, holding hands as we changed sides. We were all grins. We looked like idiots, and we didn’t care. Inside, I was happy, happy and more alive than I had ever been. “OK, what did you put in Nigel’s drink?” I heard him ask Valko. “Something I thought he could handle,” Valko chuckled. I grabbed a lock of Nigel’s long, blonde hair—well, my long, blonde hair. “Me smell so nice,” I laughed, then hiccuped. “I love being inside you,” I stated and Nigel giggled nervously. “Wait! Hold up! Did you two fuckkkk?” Valko squealed. “No,” I slurred. “I’m into guys,” I hiccuped. “Wait. Are you gay?” Roger settled under my arm. “Cause we can be gay together.”“Of course he’s not,” Nigel raved, draggin
THIRD PERSON POVThe party was jumping, and the teenagers were high on marijuana and other unmentionables. They ground on each other with red cups in their hands, singing at the top of their lungs. Lazarus hadn’t been to a rave like this since the early nineties. But watching the intoxicated people, he didn’t miss it much. He was standing in the dark, out of sight, but watching everyone. He was like a fly on the wall. He wished he could get Miranda alone, but seeing that she was not herself lately, it would look suspicious for him to be kissing her when she was wearing Nigel Vanderwolf’s face. But nevertheless, he intended to take her as his Eternal Mate when all of this was over. He liked her, and she may not feel the same way about him yet, but he was determined to change her mind. His father wouldn’t permit it though. That much he knew. The Count didn’t approve of the last woman Lazarus was in love with either. A human girl named Charlotte. But she died of cholera back in 1919 when
LAZARUS'S POVI felt my eyes flashing from grey to red. That sweet, sugary smell was waking up my thirst and my hunger. I wanted nothing more than to taste whatever this scent was. My gums burnt when I felt my fangs descending without me even taking them out. Now I knew something definitely was not right. I needed to get out of here and get some fresh air. Before I could walk off, Miranda's pretty friend Clarke rocked her way over to me. “Hey there Mack daddy,” she slurred. I could smell the heavy booze on her breath. “I could tell you want me. I know you can't take your eyes off me,” she giggled, followed by a burp.“OK sweetheart,” I laughed. “You want me to get you some water?”She leaned against my chest, rubbing her face on my skin that was visible under my leather jacket. “Your skin is so smooth and cool,” she whispered. “I like it.”“OK sweetheart,” I shoved her off. “Deep breaths,” I told her. If she didn't calm down, I would have to use my compulsion on her and I didn't want
