Chapter 79 She was naked on top of William

The next day, Doris met William out in a clearing a bit away from the camp. He stayed at a different cabinand she hadn’t seen him since he brought her back to the camp the day before. No one had ventured outto even notice she had been gone, not one person was concerned about her. Only him. She hated howthat made her feel inside, as if her heart could stop for him and she despised her own weakness. It wasright that he slept in his own cabin. There were more than enough and it wasn’t right for them to share abed in the first place. She brought clothes that were too big for her and an extra set just incase it rippedoff during the process. The last thing she needed was to be wandering around naked because her wolftore her clothes. He stood with his hands deep in his pockets and his eyes anywhere but her. She triednot to notice how lovely he looked in the color red. It made his eyes look even more blue than normal-ifthat was possible. She set down her things and went to stand in front of him. “Does it always hurt whenyou change into your wolf?” “Yes. You just get used to it.” William said. They were far enough from thecamp that no one would see or hear them as she attempted to change on demand. At least no onewould see her failures. His words though made her want to turn back to her cabin and hide under thecovers. But she couldn’t. She wasn’t like that anymore, she couldn’t live her life in fear. She had tocontrol her own future and her life was meant to be lived, not feared. If she now had a wolf inside her,she would learn to embrace it… or try to. “Okay.” Doris took a breath. “What should I do first?” Williamlooked down at her with raised brows. “It’s not about forcing it. It’s about calling it to your will.” Dorisfurrowed her brow in confusion. “I tried to call it in the snow but it wouldn’t come” “Did you try to call to it?Or did you try to force it to come?” William asked as he crossed his arms over his chest. “Your wolfdoesn’t like to be controlled when it’s new.” Doris stood there and looked around as if the answer wouldfall from the sky. “How do you suppose I call for it? Just… say her name?” William rolled his eyes to thesky and let out a breath of frustration. “No. You call her from within and let it take control of you. Youhave to be willing to let her do that.” “Oh.” Doris chewed on her lip. She supposed a part of her had beentrying not to let the wolf take complete control of her body. She pushed back even in her darkest times,she didn’t want to lose that sort of control to something she didn’t really trust yet. It was hard to even

think of doing that now. Doris took another deep breath and closed her eyes. She could feel her wolf huminside her as if it was waiting for her to call upon it. The stubborn wolf must have always been listeningbeneath the surface. It made her resent it a bit more when she realized she knew Doris had beensuffering and didn’t once offer to help her. Perhaps it wanted her to come to the decision on her own-buta little guidance would have been wonderful when she felt so clueless. “Keep your eyes closed andspeak inwardly to your wolf.” William said by her ear. She could feel him as he moved around her, almostas if her own body tracked him like he was a part of her. She shivered at the sound of his voice and felther cheeks heat almost instantly. Doris cleared her throat and went for it. “Cordelia?” She asked in hermind. “Yes?” Cordelia responded, it sounded as if she was smirking. Doris tried to keep the conversationin her mind even when her lips parted to answer out loud. “I… give you permission to take control.” “Oh,do you? That’s nice.” Cordelia responded. Doris sighed and opened her eyes. “She’s being stubborn.”“Our wolves can be bolder versions of ourselves.” William said. He was still behind her. “Call to her,command her to take control and shift.” Doris closed her eyes and tried again. “Cordelia. I command youto take over.” Doris said with a bit more confidence than she felt. She could have sworn the wolf laughedat her and her hands curled into fists at her sides. “You’re not doing it right. Listen to our mate a littlecloser.” Cordelia said. 23 Doris blew out a frustrated breath and opened her eyes to replace him standing infront of her again. “It’s not working. She won’t come.” “She must be testing you. She wants you to bestronger.” William said. He studied her face as if he could see her wolf if he looked hard enough. “It’s notalways about asking, she can feel what you want and it’s her choice to answer.” Doris closed her eyesone more time and tried to focus on what he meant. Don’t force her, let her come. But don’t ask either?Doris tried to replace a bit of balance in herself and she knew her wolf lingered nearby patiently. Whycouldn’t she have a wolf that actually liked to do what it was told? She felt a sense of calm wash over heras she released a breath. She imagined her wolf stepping into control and allowing her body to becomeher own instead of staying in the background of everything. Doris allowed her to have the freedom, thepower she knew she craved. There was no one to save, not even herself. She just wanted her to comeout and see the daylight for once in her life. “Alright…” Cordelia hissed. “If you insist, I’ll come out toplay.” Doris felt the shift mimic the feeling from before, but she didn’t ever think she would get used to it.

Not in a hundred years. Her bones cracked, every single one of them. They shifted and formed newshapes that made her feel intense agony as she dropped to all fours. Her clothes stretched and rippedfrom her back despite her attempt at replaceing something big enough to last this sort of thing. Shesupposed nothing she had would last this, would it? White fur exploded across her skin, she felt her legsshift and her fingers fomm into paws. Her screams turned to howls almost instantly, it was as if she nolonger owned her own body the second Cordelia stepped in. She whimpered when she realized itworked. His advice worked and she should have been happy but she only felt more afraid. She didn’twant this body, she didn’t want this life. Doris turned to look at William and realized he had shifted too.His wolf was black as night with bright blue eyes she would never forget. Her wolf was excited to seehim, Cordelia hurried to press her nose against his in a sort of greeting and didn’t listen when Doris triedto tell her to step back away from the prince. It wasn’t proper for her to act that way with him, no matterhow much her wolf wanted to. Doris forced her wolf away and she heard Cordelia growl inwardly. Doriswanted to shout, but she couldn’t. All that came out were more howls or whimpers. Was she able tospeak inside her head as a wolf? Doris didn’t understand how any of this worked, not in the slightest.Everything just made her even more confused than the last. William watched her curiously and walkedaround her wolf. She sat still and let him observe her until he wandered into the trees and came out afew minutes later as his human version. He had his clothes on still, thank the moon goddess for that.“You need to learn how to pull it in and change back. You never want your wolf to have too muchcontrol.” Cordelia bared her teeth at William as if she was threatening him. Doris forced Cordelia to gotowards the woods so they could change back but she wouldn’t budge. A dark sort of feeling lingered inher mind, she knew it wasn’t her own thoughts that made her feel that way. It was strange not being ableto control herself, to have a wolf with a mind of her own that just demanded to be heard even when itwasn’t

right. Her wolf jumped on William. He caught her in mid air and fell back into the snow. Once she was ontop of him, Cordelia released her hold and allowed Doris to shift back into her human form. Doris didn’trealize she was naked on top of him until it was too late.
