"I'm confused." I croak as I listen to the woman kneeling in front of me.

"I know." Tevilla says with a smile. "How about you tell me about your time in the cells and I can explain things as we go along."

"O-Okay."

Pausing briefly, I allow myself to be taken back through my twelve moons of pain and agony.

"I remember coming to the cells in a very frail state. They took my height, weight, body temperature, and tested my hearing, vision, smell and reflexes. Once that was done, I was strapped to a bed and put on three different drips for a little while. Not sure how long." I say as I take a deep breath. Tevilla gives me a reassuring smile so I continue. "After that I was taken to my cell, where I was feed once a day for, I don't know how many days. As the days progressed, my body demanded more food, and I was given it."

"Mmmm, let's stop there, okay?" Tevilla says as she sits back on her knees.

"Okay."

"You began to get hungrier because of the transition your body was going through. Your metabolism sped up which caused you to digest food quicker, and your body temperature rose, making you burn off the small amounts of energy the small portions of food you were given gave you. Hence why you were hungry more often." I nod, understanding every word she says before clearing my throat and continuing.

"Then the first full moon I ever saw from my cell window came. It felt as though my body had been lit on fire. Every part of me burned, from the top of my head, to the souls of my feet."

"Did you feel any type of arousal?" My eyes widen as I look at Tevilla who just gives me a serious stare. How did she know what I felt? 

Until today, I had always been left alone during that time. Maybe they had camera's in the cells? That would make sense.

"Uh, yeah.... I did."

"Mmmm, you were experiencing your passion." Tevilla explains with a smile. "It's a time of..." She pauses and looks as if she's trying to find the right words. "Let's save that explanation for a little later okay. Continue on Constance."

Not wanting to question Tevilla, I continue to tell her of my time in hell.

"As the moon came and went, I gained weight, grew more frustrated with each passing day. The guards annoyed me...I just.... I don't know." I mumble as I rub my hand down my face.

"Tell me Constance, did you ever make sounds that confused you in the heat of your anger."

My mind immediately goes back to the day that one of the guards slapped my ass. He told me that I had filled out nice, and he hoped that when I was freed, he'd get to ram himself into me. I had made a deep rumbling sound in my throat as I lunged at him.

I tell Tevilla that and she smiles.

"It's nothing to smile about. My actions earned me three days with no food, only water." I spit at her with a glare.

"I'm only smiling because you growled."

"Growled? I'm not an animal."

"No, you are not, you're only half. A she-wolf to be exact. That's why your body has changed as much as it has." Tevilla says as she stands. I sit there stunned for a moment as I stare up at her with wide eyes. My heart seems to beat out of my chest as I try to wrap my head around what she just said.

She-wolf....

I'm a she-wolf.

 I don't have to be told what that means. After a decade long war with supernatural creates, that took away my best friend and some of my love ones, I knew about them all.

Now I am one.

"Come now, it's time to prepare you. Since the moon is full, it would be ideal to meet him tonight." Tevilla says as she goes back over to her briefcase and pulls out a long red gown. She then takes the beautiful shoes from her feet and places them both on the bed. "Go, shower and then come back here and I will prepare you."

"What's going on? What are you preparing me for?"

"No more questions right now Constance, just please do as you are told." Tevilla retorts with a genuine smile on her face. Without another word, I walk into the bathroom and close the door behind me. 

Turning to my left, I gasp when I see myself in the mirror.

It's been so long since I've really seen myself.

 Yes, I could see a blurred imagine on the double-sided mirror in the examination room, but it was never clear. I knew I had filled out in the past year, but not like this.

Staring back at me is a full figured, stunning woman. My eyes are vibrant and resemble the color of gold, when they were once dark brown. My lips are still as full as they have always been, but they look pinker, healthier. I've always had long hair, but the dark brown strands seem to shine. My complexion is flawless, every curve on my body is dramatic, and all the fat that I gained made its way to my breast, hips, thighs.........turning around, I look over shoulder and my mouth drops.........and my ass.

"Hurry Constance." Tevilla's voice comes from the other side of the door making me jump. Not wasting another moment, I move to the shower and turn it own. There's two towels hanging on a bar by it and in the inside of the shower is a lemon scented body wash, as well as shampoo and conditioner.

I brush my teeth with a toothbrush that is sitting wrapped on the counter while waiting for the water to warm. Once the shower is at a comfortable temperature, I step in and proceed to clean my body and hair. When I'm finish, I get out, dry my hair with one towel, and wrap my body with another. I step into the room to find Tevilla sitting on the bed by the dress and shoes, texting on a phone.

It's been well over five years since I've seen a phone. I lost mine trying to defend my best friend during the war.

"You look and smell marvelous." Tevilla says as she stands.

"Did I not look good before?" I say without thinking. My hand slaps over my mouth and my eyes widen. Speaking back to anyone in the cells was automatic punishment, so for me to do so just now is out of my nature.

Tevilla to my surprise chuckles and shakes her head.

"You do have a little fire in you. Which is good, you're going to need it. Now come get dressed, so I can do your hair."

I quickly walk over and slide on the dress and small heels. Tevilla doesn't give me any undergarments, but I don't need them. Everything sits up just right. After I'm dressed, I sit in the chair that has been put back in front of the vanity, and Tevilla braids my hair in two French braids. She then applies a small amount of mascara and lip gloss, telling me I didn't need much because I am naturally more beautiful than any goddess she had ever read about.

"Alright, we are ready to go." Tevilla says as she admires me for a moment. I give her a nervous look that she returns with a reassuring smile, that shows her perfect white teeth. "Do you know what your name means?" Tevilla asks me with a smile as she grabs my hands and pulls me to my feet.

"No." I answer truthfully.

"It means steadfastness. Which is defined as, resolutely or dutifully firm and unwavering." She pauses. "That's exactly what you are. That's exactly who you are. So, as I walk you through the grounds of the mansion, I want you to hold you head high, keep your spine straight, and don't let people's looks or whispers get to you. You've earned your spot here. Remember that." I take a deep breath and nod once. Tevilla smiles and turns to close her briefcase. She then walks to the door and I follow.

"You ready?" She asks as she turns the nob, and I lick my lips nervously while nodding my head. 

"As ready as I'll every be."
