Chapter 19 trying not to shift

Brook’s (Brandon’s wolf) P.O.V

  Yeah, he was dreaming alright, he had fallen asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow, just like our mate, Carla. He was such an i***t and it made me ashamed to be his wolf when I saw how he was being an asshole to Carla. It was me that whispered in her ear, it was me that made him get on all fours to try and soothe her after she had shifted. I was the one that was trying to bring her back because my human was such a hard headed t**t. He didn't care if he lost her, but I did. I once again took control of Brandon and mind-linked Kayla.

  “Kayla, are you awake?” I asked, mind-linking her while our humans slept.

  “I’m awake, Brooks. What's wrong, love?” Kayla asked, taking control of Carla and sitting up in bed, blinking her eyes a few times.

  “How are we going to keep our humans together?  Brandon doesn't care much if she leaves, but I do.” I said, moving closer to her.

  “I know we will find a way. Carla is starting to fall in love with him, I can feel it, but if he keeps being an asshole then when she is done with her four fights she will leave. It is up to him to change.” Kayla replied and I nodded. I knew she was right, but I couldn't stand the thought of losing my mate because my human was being stubborn and pig-headed.

  “I know, but we have to find a way or I’m going to end up taking over him soon enough. I need to show him how to love someone, but I’m not sure how to. He’s strong, but I can be much stronger. I can't lose you, Kayla.” I said, cupping her cheek with my hand.

  “I don't want to lose you either, Brooks, but we will find a way to be together. Even if we have to part ways, we will find our way back to each other, I promise. Come on, we need to get some sleep before our humans get suspicious and wake up.” Kayla replied, reaching up and kissing me. We kissed each other with passion and desire, but eventually broke the kiss, knowing that we needed to let our humans sleep. We laid down beside each other and she turned on her side, while I wrapped my arms around her, like I had made Brandon do when he was asleep. I held her tightly in my arms, as we both gave back control to our humans.

  Brandon’s P.O.V

  I woke up to the sun shining through the window the next morning, but something felt really off. I could have sworn that I went to sleep with my back facing her, but now I was holding her in my arms and I had to admit, it felt really comfortable being with her this way. It gave me a nice, peaceful feeling, holding her in my arms this way. I leaned in and gently kissed her neck, making her stir.

  “Wake up or I’ll have my way with you.” I whispered and heard as she giggled. She turned in my arms, looking into my dark eyes.

  “My, aren't you chipper this morning. Are you ready to get up and start our training or do you want to lay in bed all day?” Carla asked, wiggling her eyebrows at me and making me laugh.

  “As much as I would love to stay in bed with you all day, we need to get up and train, but are you up for it? You only shifted your first shift last night and it takes a lot out of you. Why don't you get up and take a shower, then see how you feel. If you feel like you can train, then we’ll go and train.” I suggested and she shrugged her shoulders before getting out of bed and going to the bathroom.

  Carla’s P.O.V

  I honestly felt fine, I don't know why he is worrying because I feel fine. I went into the bathroom and turned on the water in the shower, before stripping out of my night wear and getting under the hot water. I washed and dried myself off, but then I felt weird, like I was burning up or something.

  “Kayla, what's going on? Why am I feeling like this?” I asked, panicking.

  “You're about to shift again.” Kayla replied, shocking me.

  “What? What do you mean I’m about to shift again? This isn't possible, I’m not even trying to shift, so why is this happening?” I asked, feeling scared and confused. Why was this happening to me?

  “I’m sorry, Carla, but you are a huge red wolf. You don't have any colour on you except red, so it means that you will shift anytime, even when you're not trying to. I don't know why, but try to control it if you can. Take a few deep breaths and try to calm yourself, we can't shift in the middle of the bathroom.” Kayla replied and I walked over to the small chair next to the bathroom cabinet and sat down.

  “Can you stop it?” I asked, taking long deep breaths in and letting them out.

  “No, I’m sorry, I can't.” Kayla replied as I felt myself calming down and cooling off.

  “Okay, Carla, you're fine now,  but we are going to have to learn how to control this. We can't shift anywhere and everywhere.” Kayla said and I nodded. I stood up and felt a wave of exhaustion hit me, like my energy had completely been zapped out of my system.

  “I know we can't. Wow, that took a lot out of me, maybe it's not the day to train, I don't need to be shifting while I’m training.” I replied and slowly walked out of the bathroom and back into the bedroom, going straight to the bed and lying down on it. Brandon was now fully dressed, but the whole time he was watching me closely.

  “Are you okay? Were you about to shift?” Brandon asked and I nodded.

  “Yeah, but Kayla helped me through it. I guess today isn't a good day to train, can we do it tomorrow instead?” I asked and Brandon quickly nodded.

  “We can and we will, get your sleep, you're going to need it for tomorrow. We have that party and one of the girls will be up here in the morning to help you get ready. I’m going to the office, while you relax.” Brandon replied and kissed my forehead. He shut the curtains again and walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.
