Chapter 14: All mine?

Her

The problem with being impulsive is that we don't plan the next step. Now I'm wrapped in a towel and can't wear the clothes I was wearing before because I stepped on them when I got out of the shower.

Who would dare to drench such a pretty and immaculate bathroom?

The towel is very large and fluffy, soft like a stuffed animal. The Alpha knows how to maintain comfort.

When I was in the Alpha's tent, I thought they were some kind of barbarians or nomads who lived primitively, but I'm surrounded by the best in necessities and modernities when it comes to 20th-century toilets!

The bathroom door suddenly opened, and I let out a startled scream, grabbing the towel so it wouldn't fall off my body. The Alpha entered and stood before me. His eyes didn't stray from mine, but I noticed out of the corner of my eye that he clenched his fists tightly.

— Hey, you can't just walk in like that! What if I were naked?

His hands clenched even tighter, and I think they were trembling a little.

— You are mine!

— Look, we need to talk about this thing of me being yours. I'm not a thing or an object.

— You are mine! — He repeated with a more intense and cavernous voice.

To my horror, fur quickly grew from his pores, dark like his hair. His claws cut his own skin and blood dripped onto the floor. He grew even larger, and I was startled when he turned his back to me, hiding his face.

— You're afraid of me… — The voice was inhuman, as if Godzilla could speak, although I could recognize Ares's voice in that "growl".

I stood in silence, frozen in the same position while he transformed into an incredible, impressive, fabulous, enormous, and monstrous creature.

I ran out of adjectives to continue my reasoning, but it was indescribable…

Once the transformation was complete, he turned to me, and I concluded that I am completely crazy, insane, bonkers, out of my mind, nuts… I felt extremely attracted to that beast. His eyes were the sweetest and most charming anyone could have… or a monster could have.

So sad and adorable...

— Are you afraid of me, female?

— I think I should be, but no, you're less scary like this than as a man…

The beast smiled, and I changed my mind, his enormous teeth were like blades ready to tear me apart. Noticing my reaction, the huge beast made a sound like a purring kitten, sad and needy.

— Oh, kitty, don't be sad, come here… It's the first time I've seen you like this, and you're very big. Just don't smile showing your teeth like that… just for now, until I get used to it, okay?

I stretched out my arm, and he lowered his head for me to caress him.

— Look, how cute, your fur is so soft. Oh, how adorable, you remind me of a kitten I had as a child. — He grunted, annoyed by the comparison, but I ignored him, immersed in my memories. — He was yellow, you know, and had blue eyes, I loved feeding him in the backyard. Too bad he died… I had to go to therapy to understand that it wasn't my fault if the ball fell into the bonfire, and he jumped in to get it….

The beast raised its head and looked at me, astonished.

— I'm kidding, it wasn't a ball, it was a little fish, and it wasn't a bonfire, it was a lake, I thought cats knew how to swim… — I think it's better not to reveal that there were two cats… — Can you swim?

The beast grunted once more, staring at me in a strange way.

— Uh… I'm wrapped in a towel, as you can see, and I'm getting cold and- — The Beast wrapped its arms around me and pulled me close to its chest.

— Not cold. — He said, my face pressed against him.

— Very nice, warm, hehe, but wouldn't there be clothes for me to wear?

The beast held me with one hand, by the waist, and carried me out of the bathroom to an immense room.

Sober, masculine, elegant, and well-kept.

He dropped me on the floor and pointed to a door. I opened a large closet with several clothes hanging, folded, shoes, sandals, and other very mundane things.

— Whose is all this, huh? You're not married, are you? I already used the bathroom stuff, she's going to be annoyed!

— Not another female. Your things!

— Mine? — I entered the closet and, wow, it looked like a movie star's! — How did you get all this?

— I paid the Elf while you were sleeping.

— Wait here a bit while I get dressed, okay?

I closed the closet door in the beast's face and used a cushion I found on the shelf to muffle my scream of excitement.
