Chapter 10: The Shifter

Karisa Papadopoulus' POV

"Can we not do this anymore? I think I have been tired from trying to know how to shift like you," I said as I was wiping the sweat on my eyebrows. I cannot believe that after a few days of coping up in the cave, Sebastian was thinking that it would be a good idea for me to shift. He stated that the werewolf virus was transmitted to my body completely.

Like I wanted to think about how it was done.

I was trying to imagine what I was being instructed by Sebastian. I tried to imagine that I was changing into a werewolf. It was harder than I thought!

"Come on, Karisa. You can do it. Did you have the courage to change? I think you were trying to trick me," Sebastian was taunting me. I gritted my teeth before I was glaring at him.

"I AM TRYING, you moron! I don't know why I can't change. Maybe your power was not that ultimate after all," I said and before I know it, I was on the ground with Sebastian tackled me on top of me. I laughed as he was glaring at me.

"If you don't think that I would attack you because you're my mate, you're dead wrong, Miss Papadopoulos," Sebastian said as I was laughing before he was nuzzling my neck. He tickled my side as I was laughing throughout the forest before something snapped.

Sebastian instantly in front of me. His naked backside was protecting me. He said that we don't need clothes as I was trying to shift. We don't want to ruin the only clothes that we have.

"Who's there?" Sebastian asked as I was looking around. Then I saw him. Well, a lot of the locals were looking at naked me and Sebastian. I think this will be horrified if not for my father came toward us.

"Release my daughter, you demon! You have corrupted her," my father said as Sebastian was gripping me as he was protecting me from the eyes of the locals. Most of them were men and I know how Sebastian felt when men were staring at me.

"No," Sebastian said curtly as I was gripping his shoulders.

"You son of a bitch! That's my daughter that you were holding hostage. Give her to me and we will leave from here at once," my father said before he was looking at me.

"Karisa, let's go. You have done enough damage to our family name already," my father said harshly before the people were talking and whispering. I felt like I know why I don't like to be in that house anymore since I tasted real freedom with Sebastian.

"No," I said before I was gripping Sebastian even more.

"No?" My father asked as I was glaring at him.

"No, I will not go back and be your intended bride for you to gain reputation. I have found my love in this world, father, and I will only have Sebastian as my husband," I said as Sebastian was looking at me. I ignored him.

"You whore! He was a demon. Don't you know who he was? Look at his eyes. It's bloody red!" My father shouted before I was shaking my head.

"At least it has more warmth in it than yours," I said before the people were shocked by my declaration. My father was ready to explode as his face was red before someone was holding him.

Pascal.

"Please, sir. We don't want to make a mess here. It's their territory," Pascal said as he was looking at me. He smiled before Sebastian was growling at him. I rolled my eyes at his possessiveness since I have declared that I will be marrying him, not anyone else.

Has Sebastian been paying attention?

"No, you can't just let them be. She was your fiancée! Do something," my father insisted Pascal before he sighed.

"Even though we will be married, I know that deep down she will never be happy with me. So, I think I call off the engagement," Pascal said before he nodded at the people.

"Alright, the show's over. We can go now and leave the happy couple as they are," Pascal said before he winked at me. Sebastian growled at me before he was amazed by his possessiveness.

"Okay, I think that's our cue to get out of here before his people come," Pascal said before the people were heeding his warning. I think the locals still afraid of the werewolves that roamed the island.

'They were afraid because they don't know us,' Sebastian said in his mind and I think I can hear it. I looked at him before he winked at me.

"But Pascal! Wait," my father said as he was walking toward Pascal and the locals were hurrying out of the forest. I think they still don't want to be on the bad side of the tight community that we know as Shadow Pack.

After the locals were gone, I just realized that I released the breath that I don't know I was holding.

"Now, where are we?" Sebastian asked me before he tackled me to the ground as my laughter was echoing in the forest. Then I heard another snapped. I don't think the locals were all gone but who I saw afterward was more shocking than my father.

"Well, it's good to see that you finally come to your senses, Sebastian," the man with the amber eyes was looking at us with amusement on his face.

"I thought he might die a virgin," someone with grey eyes was saying before the man with green eyes was smirking.

"I thought he might have to get knocked up to realize what he has been missing if he declared that he will be celibate for life," the man with green eyes said as he was crossing his hands in front of his chest. The last guy in the group was laughing.

"Tell me about it. I thought he had to get chained up and go crazy like Zack to realize that he has found his mate," the man that I saw on the day of the wedding. I think he was Anika's husband. The green-eyed guy slapped his head.

"Ouch,"

"Watch what you said about my brother punk," he said.

"Half, and I think Zack was right after all. Sebastian was frustrated like Zack was. That's why he went to recluse," Anika's husband said before Sebastian sighed. I was still naked and I felt conscious of another male looked at my body.

"Sebastian, who are they?" I whispered to him before he was rubbing his face. He turned to look at me before he was introducing me to the group.

"Guys, I want you to meet Karisa Papadopoulos, my mate," he said as the group was regarding me. I don't know if Sebastian has been casual with them without his clothes but I still have my dignity.

"Meet Caleb," the amber-eyed guy.

"Xavier," the grey-eyed man with brunette hair.

"Arthur," the green-eyed man.

Then I was nodding at them before Caleb was looking at Sebastian as he sniffed the air. He was glaring at Sebastian before he was looking at me.

"Sebastian did you—"

"Yes, and if you are not happy with it, I don't think I can go back to the pack then," Sebastian said before I was looking at the group and Sebastian.

What the hell was going on?!
