wolf? Am I still asleep? Is this a dream? Am I that creative that I would dream up this beautiful boy then have him explode into a wolf in the middle of the dark woods? I don't think I am.
    He pulled back to look at me, "It's ok Brook, it's ok" he said pressing his forehead to mine, I could barely breathe. "Calm down please" he begged holding me tight, I pushed him away and looked at his face, was this some sort of joke? How the hell could he fake something like that?
    "How did you do that?" I asked barely recognising my own voice.
    He shrugged "I was born like this, my whole family are shifters" he said casually as if we were discussing the weather. I nodded and sat back down on the tree my legs feeling a little weak, he pulled his jeans back on watching me curiously.
    He bent back down in front of me, "There are lots of us, the Porters, they're shifters too" he said.
    "What? No way! I've known Mel and Scott for years, seriously no, she isn't a....a... whatever you said" I said sternly.
    He smiled "A shifter" he said casually.
    "Shit! Will you stop saying that!" I cried, god that word was fucking crazy! Maybe I was crazy, maybe that's what this was, it wasn't a dream, this is some sort of psychotic episode or something, I'm really in some padded cell, in a white jacket, dribbling.
    "Ok, I need to tell you about mating" he said quietly, looking a little unsure, my hand shot up to my neck, he said I had his mark, that I was his. I traced the teeth marks on my neck and he looked at me apologetically, "Did that hurt?" he asked grimacing.
    I shook my head "No not really, it felt a little weird, but it was nice actually" I admitted, he smiled and reached out a hand to touch it. As soon as his fingertip touched it, my core throbbed and I moaned breathily as my body pulsed with excitement.
    He smiled his sexy little smile and pulled his hand away, "That is the sexiest thing I have ever seen, my mark on your skin, it's driving me crazy" he said looking at it lustfully.
    I gulped and dropped my eyes to the floor, "Ok tell me about mating" I said wanting to make him stop looking at me like that.
    "Ok, well shifters they can date and stuff like humans can, but when they find the shifter they want to be with, the male will mark the female creating a bond between them, claiming her as his, other shifters won't go near a female once she's been mated" he said running his hands up my arms again trying to warm me as I started to shiver again, but to be honest it wasn't the cold that was making me shiver, it was the casual use of the words 'shifter' and 'humans'.
    "So you claimed me?" I asked shocked, he nodded looking at me apologetically, "But why? Why would you do that? You don't even know me, look at me, why would you want to claim me?" I asked confused looking down at my fat ugly body. He gasped and moved my legs apart moving his body in between them and pressing his chest to mine.
    "Why the hell wouldn't I want to claim you? You are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen, every single guy in that party was talking about you tonight" he said wrapping his arms around me.
    I laughed and shook my head, wow ok, add blind to the list too! "What the hell has happened to you? Why do you think you're so hideous? Honestly Brook, you are stunningly beautiful, if I could only see one thing for the rest of my life it would be you, without question" he said looking deep into my eyes. Oh my god he is so damn sweet!
    "Ok we'll agree to disagree, but anyway why did you claim me? You don't know me" I said watching his face turn angry.
    "God stop that! You don't see yourself the way other people see you!" he said fiercely.
    I sighed "Please answer the question Jayden" I said, he sighed and pressed his face into my neck breathing deeply.
    "I don't know, when I saw you, my body wanted you, my wolf wanted you, I knew you were supposed to be mine, I couldn't help it, I tried not to but I lost control and claimed you" he said shaking his head as if this was
