Page 25 of Healing His Darkness
“Yes, it’s killing me, but it’s a death I’m willingly accepting. You can kill me like this anytime you see fit for the rest of our lives.” Sliding out just a millimeter, I glide back into her, both of us moaning in pleasure at the friction. Her pussy is the fucking homeland for my dick, and it doesn’t want to go very far from it.
“Rooster.” My name, a prayer against her lips calls to me, I know what she wants, and I’m going to give it all to her.
“Hold onto me sweetness this rides about to get a little bumpy.” Her hands go to my shoulders, holding tightly as I start to move against her. Slow deliberate strokes at first, making sure to rub against her clit on each stroke. My fingers pluck at her nipples bringing them to hardened peaks. Her release is close, there’s a part of me that wants to draw it out, but the greedy bastard part of me needs to feel her explode around me.
Slow and deliberate gives way to hard and aggressive quickly as I chase both of our releases. The bite of her nails against my shoulders, the perspiration against her brow, the way her eyes are rolling into the back of her head tell me she’s ready to jump over the cliff. I feel my teeth elongate in my mouth as I seek her neck, licking and suckling the perfect spot.
Claim her. Claim her now!
“Please Rooster, do it.” Her hand holds my head against her neck, running circles with her nails against my scalp, calming me. As her orgasm consumes her, I plunge my teeth into her neck, claiming her as mine, changing her forever.
Feeling her pulsate around me triggers my own orgasm and I hold her tightly against me moaning her name against her skin. Kissing her claiming mark, I can’t help but smile knowing that it will show the world that she belongs to me. My smile widens when I think of the claiming mark, she’ll give me once she shifts.
Rolling off her, I pull her into my body, protecting her as much as I can from the chill in the air. Soon it won’t bother her though, soon she’ll shift for the first time, she’ll become the beautiful leopard she was always meant to be.
“How long will it take?” She asks twirling around to face me, worry lining her brow.
“It varies, sometimes it’s a few minutes, sometimes it’s hours. With Angel it was hours, but she was also almost dead when Wraith changed her. She had to heal enough to initiate the change. But once she changed, she was a murder kitty, almost took out Stonewall.” George’s eyes get as round as saucers as I relate Angel’s transformation story. Considering she’s about to change it’s probably not the best story to tell her.
“But Stonewall is, well he’s freaking huge, I imagine he’s even bigger as his animal. What if I hurt you like she hurt Stonewall? Shouldn’t we get some of the other guys to keep you safe. I don’t want to hurt you Rooster. Shit, maybe this wasn’t such a good idea.” Anger courses through my veins at her words.
“Do you regret being my mate already?” Tears start to pool in her eyes as she shakes her head.
“That’s not it, that’s not it at all. I just don’t want to hurt you. Please promise me if I get too violent, you’ll run for help. I’ll never be able to forgive myself if I hurt you.” The tension in my shoulders releases as I take in her words. Fear of hurting me has her on edge and I just need to be here for her, so her transition is smoother.
“I’m positive you won’t hurt me, remember I’m your mate. Wasn’t it you who told me mates can’t hurt each other? I won’t let you hurt anyone else either baby, you have my word. I’ll protect you with everything I have.” I had faith that she wouldn’t hurt me or anyone else, she just doesn’t have it in her.
“Thank you, that’s all that I ask.” George snuggles against my body, and I wrap my arms tightly around her as I smell the first change in her body. It won’t be long before she starts to change for the first time, and I can’t wait to see what her animal looks like.

GEORGE
It feels like my body is trying to rip itself apart and put itself back together all at once. Which I guess is what it’s supposed to feel like. I once asked my brothers how it felt to shift, and they all said it was like changing clothes for them. Maybe because I’m not a born shifter that’s why it feels differently.
“The first time will be the hardest baby, but after that it will get easier. I’m right here with you, breath through it.” Rooster strokes my hair, it feels like needles poking at my scalp, and I wince away. Everything feels different, it feels more somehow, more vibrant, more potent maybe.
Standing up my eyes start to take in everything in high definition. Birds sound louder, the smell of trees feel like earth and soil. I can hear the water lapping against the shore, the tempo matching the beat of my heart. The desire to be near Rooster is overpowering, if I had any doubts before that he was my mate they are gone.
Mate. Mine.
Oh no bitch he’s all mine. Shaking my head, I can’t believe I just talked to myself or responded to myself. Was it myself? I think it was. Wait, was that my animal talking to me? A low growl comes out of my lips in acknowledgement of what I already knew.
“She’s right there baby.” Rooster reaches for me, but I pull back, afraid his touch to my over sensitized skin will hurt. My body feels like it’s on fire. Sweat is pouring down my spine; the cool breeze brings only a little relief.
Let me out.
I don’t know how, I’m so confused. Was there a beginner’s guide somewhere on how to change into a shifter? Maybe I could write one, but it would have to be one of those super-secret guides because you know humans. But it could be helpful to human mates, I’ll have to talk to Rooster about it after I learn how to fucking shift the first damn time though.
“Just relax and let her take over your body, she’ll do the rest.” Easy for him to say, he’s had his animal since he was born. Not me, he bit me, now I have an animal and I have no idea how to let her have my body. It’s like I’m trapped inside myself and I can’t find my way out. An angry growl erupts from my chest, and my heart stutters a little at the sound.
Okay so here’s how it’s going to work miss leopard; I’m going to let go and you’re going to take over. Inside my head, I can see her prowling, back and forth, her tail swishing in agitation. Yeah, well join the crowd, I’m trying to figure this out as I go along, give me a break. When she calmly sits down and gives me a reassuring nod, I close my eyes and try to relax every muscle in my body.
“That’s it baby, just like that.” My bones sound like a firecracker going off as they snap to transform me into something else, next are my joints realigning, then my body elongates, and I can feel my fur ruffle in the wind. It feels like it takes hours, but it’s probably less than thirty minutes.
When I open eyes, the first thing I notice is that I have four feet instead of two. It startles me at first and I scamper backwards trying to get away from them, only they follow me.
“It’s okay baby, I’m right here. Damn you’re beautiful, I knew you would be, but damn. Your body is like a jigsaw puzzle of spots, your eyes aren’t the typical yellow, they’re more of a seafoam green, and your under-belly fur is snow white. I’ve never seen anything like it before.” His voice is laced with awe as he runs his fingers through my fur and I purr, rubbing my body against his legs. I want my scent all over his body; I want everyone to know he belongs to me.
