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

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 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

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

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
