The Last Royal Luna
Chapter 12

I looked over at my parents for encouragement and they gave me a small smile with a head shake. It is too late to turn back now and so I looked up at my friends to gauge their reaction. I can say they did not believe me and were holding back a bit of anger for me lying about something so crazy.

“Werewolf? Are you ok? And please put your clothes back on! I do not need to stand here staring at one of my best friends in their lingerie.” Parker put his hands over his eyes putting more emphases on me getting dressed.

“I understand you guys don’t believe me. That is why I brought you here so that I could show you and then after we can discuss this. Normally I undress behind a tree but I need you to see it all so there is no wiggle room on the truth.” With that I took off my bra and underwear before staring at them one more time. Parker was looking anywhere but my body which made me laugh a bit. He always had a crush on us girls but I think now he has found new interests.

I stepped back and thought of my wolf. My fur started to come out and when my bones started snapping heard the gasps. ‘Keep going Blue. We have to do this. You got this.’ I knew once they started making noises she was going to get nervous and regret doing it. She never wanted to hurt our friends and neither did I. Finally it was all over and I stared up at them hoping I wouldn’t lose them.

“You’re a wolf. I mean you’re a human who turned into a wolf0 How is that even possible? Did it hurt? Do you sniff other dogs butts while you’re a human or just as a wolf? I have so many questions I need answered. “ Melissa was rambling as she walked around me in a circle. I sat down on my hind legs and waited to see what would happen.

“Ryder. Is your name Ryder when you’re a wolf?” Parker asked when he took a step closer but Natalie stopped him.

“Wolves are dangerous. She will hurt you so stop getting closer and stop acting like this isn’t as scary as it is.” Natalie looked at me with anger and fear in her eyes. Blue whined loudly making everyone look at us. So we laid down all the way and put our best sad dog face on.

“Look I have no idea how or what just happened. I do know though you are the cutest puppy I have ever seen!” Melissa squeaked as she sat down beside me to put her hands thru my fur.

Blue was pissed and happy which was an odd combination for us. She huffed that she was not a puppy and that she was almost a full grown WEREWOLF and should have that respect but then she wanted more petting. I just laughed at her and I was glad one friend was doing great in this situation.

Natalie was standing the farthest away in a protective stance and I had no idea how to make her feel better. I saw parker out of my left eye come closer to me and start rubbing my ears. Blue’s tongue came out of the side of her mouth and her tail started thumping. She was enjoying getting so much attention so I called her an attention w***e which rewarded me with a growl. Thru all this I kept my eyes on Natalie trying to come up with a plan when my mother walked up to her and invited her inside for some coffee and a chat. She agreed and left with her without even a look back. Blue whined at the feeling of the loss and the feeling of a best friend being lost.

“It is going to be ok Ryder. She has a history with wolves that she keeps to herself. I only know because my parents were the doctors on call. Hopefully now she will tell you both because I cannot just blab all her secrets. I do love you and I love this color of fur on you, Darling.” She did her best to break the tension and I was grateful for that. I told Blue we should change back and have a chat before we all head to bed. They had planned to stay the night anyway so I figured it still stood but we shall see.

I stood up and licked both my friends on their faces. The look of disgust on both of them was totally worth the crap they were going to give me. I stepped back and changed back in my human form.

“RYDER GET SOME CLOTHES ON!! “Parker freaked out and ran inside. Melissa and I just laughed while I put my clothes back on.

“I guess we should go in and join them. Let’s have a talk with some coffee and maybe snacks before bed.” I grabbed Melissa’s arm as we walked in and we grabbed dad from the porch so he could have an input as well. Before I closed the door a strong smell came by my nose and I started looking around. It was not strong enough for a mate smell from what I have heard but it was strong enough to make my wolf pay attention. It went away as fast as it started so we just headed inside. ‘Blue was that the same as when we were at the lake the other day?’ She pondered on it as I grabbed my coffee and sat in the seat farthest from the table for Natalie’s sake. ‘ It wasn’t but I think it may be related to it somehow. We need to keep our guard up until Monday. Then we will be able to kick any wolfs a*s before they even get the second shitty sentence out!’ I laughed at her and mentioned I am glad I know how she feels plus that She is on my side.
