"Hey," Kristin smirked as she stretched out on a blanket which was sitting on the ground beside the river. It was just after noon and the sun was beaming which complimented Kristin's olive, sun-kissed skin. She was wearing short shorts and a low cut t-shirt that ended just above her belly button and I couldn't help but notice how amazing she looked.
"Hey I thought you were meant to be on a date with what's his face?" I pretended to forget his name as I lowered my body on the blanket and laid just inches from her. It felt as if that terrible moment hadn't happened at all.
"I changed my mind. I'd rather be here with you no matter what you say," Kristin half sat up and lifted her t-shirt over her head before she threw it beside her. I couldn't help but stare at her lacy purple bra or rather what the bra was hiding.
"If you like it that much I can buy you one," She teased and rolled on top of me.
This time I was going to stay in control. I wasn't going to let any part of my body shift. I just had to remember that I controlled the wolf and it didn't control me.
"I prefer green it matches my eyes," I smirked and she shook her head and chuckled.
Real smooth just hurry up and kiss her already. My inner wolf demanded but I ignored him.
"Green it is then," She smiled before she pressed her lips against mine and ran her tongue along my bottom lip before entering my mouth.
Don't shift please don't shift. I repeated to myself as her body pressed against mine. I could feel her heart beating through our clothes and I could also hear it over the beating of my own racing heart.
Her warm hands snuck under my shirt and ran up and down my torso before they pulled my shirt up over my head.
Stay cool you can do this. I concentrated and focussed on Kristin as her lips trailed down my chin to my collar bone.
I could feel my body tingling in anticipation as my breathing and pulse started to race. My muscles had tensed and the adrenaline was coursing through my veins yet somehow by some miracle I was still in control.
You might actually pull this off. I thought to myself as her lips returned to mine.
Her skin felt like silk under my fingertips as my fingers massaged her torso. Her scent of coconut, vanilla and strawberries was driving me wild and it all started hitting me like a slap in the face, even worse than the last time and I could feel myself changing.
No not yet. No, no, no, no, no, no... no!
My finger nails changed first and turned to sharp claws within the blink of an eye.
Stop! Stop shifting!
I got Kristin off of me and shot to my feet but it was too late.
"Run Kristin run!" I tried to fight it but it was no use. I couldn't tame the beast inside of me.
"What? Why?" Kristin's voice became full of fear as her eyes settled on my claws.
"You have claws why do you have claws? Is this some joke?" Her voice was full of panic and her heart was thumping rapidly in her chest.
"No now run!" I yelled as my teeth changed next. I now had four sharp canine teeth, two up the top and two down the bottom.
"This can't be happening!" I whispered to myself as I continued to fight but sadly failed. I couldn't stop it.
Kristin stood frozen in shock as she watched me shifting and it wasn't until I howled that she started to run. I wanted... No I needed to chase her.
My wolf vision kicked in as I focussed on her heart beat and breathing which was going to lead me straight to her. Next my ears changed shape and became pointed and thick hair now shaped my face like huge sideburns.
All I cared about was the hunt.
Kristin was just a helpless animal that I needed to take down, and I wasn't in control anymore my wolf was.
Snap, thump, thump.
Kristin was racing to get away and I could hear every twig as it snapped under her feet. Her heart was as loud as a beating drum. She had no chance of out running me or hiding not while I was in my wolf form.
I was running on both hands and legs as if I was a real wolf but without fur or paws and I knew I was getting closer. I could smell her scent and hear the ground crunching beneath her feet.
In less than a few minutes I was going to have my prey.
Snap, thump, thump... Snap.
Her breathing was uneven and I could see her as she ran through the trees and tripped over a branch. Within seconds I was at her feet as she tried to slither away from me. She must have known there was no point in getting up to run. I would've caught her within seconds anyway.
I snarled and stepped closer as she whimpered and continued to slide away from me, shifting the dirt with her hands as she continued to back away.
"Please stop. Don't kill me," She begged as the tears began to fall down her face.
I hissed in response and something hard collided with the side of my head. I yelped and heard the heavy footsteps as Kristin tried to escape. I shook my head and after the ringing stopped I chased after her again.
"What's wrong with you? What are you?" I heard Kristin screaming as she ran towards my house but I wasn't going to let her get there alive.
Snap, snap, thump.
The trees blurred past and I was right on her trail again. I could see her and I pounced. Without even thinking I instantly put my mouth around her neck and jerked to the right. A snap echoed through out the woods and Kristin's body went limp as I howled.
Victory was mine.

I awoke abruptly and sighed in relief. It was just a dream. I didn't shift and kill Kristin at least not yet.
"Thank god," I whispered.
It took a few minutes for my pulse to stop racing and as I wiped my forehead with the back of my hand and I realised my whole body was covered in sweat.
Even though it was only a dream I still couldn't shake the horrible feeling. It felt so real. Her lips, her skin and her neck between my teeth. I could still hear the awful cracking sound as I snapped her neck and robbed her of her life.
I had already come close to shifting while kissing Kristin. Just a few hours prior I had to pull myself away because my hands had begun to shift and now Kristin was going to go on a date with that loser because I told her too.
Life wasn't fair.
Before the near shift incident with Kristin I was confident I wouldn't hurt her or kill her, but after the dream my confidence seemed to disappear completely.
How could I keep seeing Kristin when there was a chance that I could end up hurting her or worse . . . Killing her?
Maybe Courtney was right. I would end up hurting Kristin if I didn't stop encouraging what we had. Not that I knew what that was exactly.
Why couldn't things ever be simple and easy?
