Otherworldly Mates [Book 4]

Chapter 35

Rolling over in my sleep I heard a slight hiss and then some grumbling that I completely ignored. Kicking my legs out to get readjusted earned me a low growl. I pouted, reached up and grabbed the pillow above my head, pulled it down and covered my head with it.

"Stop making so much noise..." I grumbled.

"Stop scratching my leg!" Damien growled.

"Yeah..." Imani mumbled lazily.

"I'm not scratching you so just shut up." I growled out.

"Nick my leg is sore as hell right now because every time you move your nails dig into my skin so deeply."

"Fine!" I huffed as I threw the pillow to end of the bed. "I'll just go cut my super long toenails!" I shouted as I threw the covers off me and climbed over Damien.

As soon as my feet hit the ground I realized that something just wasn't right. The floor underneath my feet felt different and just the way I was standing was weird. Looking down at my feet my eyes nearly popped out of my head.

"What the hell?" I screamed causing both Imani and Damien to jump up in surprise. Mateus barged out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist.

"What's wrong Nicky?" He asked as he surveyed the room.

"Look at my feet!" I screamed in distress.

All three of my mates looked down at my feet and I watched as each of their eyes widened in surprise. No longer did I have regular human feet but in its place was what I could only describe as lion paws with four long black claws. The golden fur that ran up from the lion's paw stopped just before it reached my knees. 

"That's...um...interesting." Damien mumbled from his seat on the bed.

"Like hell it is! Mateus what's wrong with me?" I questioned.

"Nothing, you're just shifting little by little. I think it would be best if we could get Andrej in here to do some tests or whatever so everyone needs to get ready unless you're fine with him seeing you in your boxers." 

"Can I stay in my boxers? They're comfy." I whined.

Damien jumped up from the bed and rushed into the closet. Seconds later he came rushing out with his arms filled with clothes. He dropped them all on the bed and I stared at the heavy jackets and different shirts.

"What are you doing?" Mateus asked him.

"I'm finding something to cover Nicky up." He growled out as he rummaged through the pile of clothes.

"But the boxers are comfortable." I pouted.

"Andrej will not be seeing you half naked!" He exclaimed as he picked up a huge shirt and held it up to my chest to see how it would look. Rolling my eyes I pushed down his hand before snagging a shirt from the pile that looked remotely decent.

"Whatever, I'm going to go shower and change." I announced.

"Can I come too?" Imani purred and I laughed at the sound of desperation in his voice. To me having Imani in heat was simply amazing.

"Of course you can." I replied holding out my hand for him. He quickly ran up to me and grabbed my hand and followed behind me as I pulled him forward.

"Can I come to?" Damien called out.

"Why not? Mateus you too." I laughed as Imani and I walked to the bathroom.

Damien hurried to my side as Mateus laughed and shook his head while walking behind us towards the bathroom. Walking through the open door I dropped the clothes on the closed toilet seat before reaching over to turn the knob for the hot water.
