Another Choice
Chapter 18

(Emily)

Terrence wants to see me and I have to say I’m happy because I miss him. I just wish, he would be less secretive and also not so close to my cousin. He’s hiding things and I think it’s about her.

“Hey, My gift.” He says pecking my lips. He looks stressed.

“Hey, how are you? Everything is fine, you look worried.” I ask him.

“I need you to come with me. Selina told me that I need to be honest with you and I agree it’s time for you to know the truth, all the truth.”

See again with Selina. Apparently he can’t make a decision without her! This is just too much maybe I should ask to choose between us! I’m too scared, he will choose her over me this is why I didn’t ask him.

“I don’t know if I want to come.” I reply.

“Please! We can’t speak here. It’s not safe.”

“Of course it’s safe, it’s my apartment.”

He sighs: “I’m not who you think I’m.”

“What?!” He is scaring me.

“Do you know why I call you my gift?”

I shake my head.

“My werewolf mate die in my arms when I just met her. After that, I lost hope in love. I thought I will never replace love again. I gave up everything, starting with my alpha’s title. You, You’re my unexpected gift.” He says. Oh, that super cute!

“Who are you?”

“Tom Sangpur.”

“What the fuck?!”

“Are you coming now? Because I will not tell you more here.”

“Fine!” I say, picking my bag and following him.

*****

“Where are we?” I ask.

“Our home?” He replies, nonchalant.

“Our?”

“Selina and I?”

“You live with her!” I scream, jealous.

“Yes, I’m her protector. So I need to be with her 24/7. Can you let me explain everything, please?”

I nod: ” But I want to see your true self.” I realize I was attracted by him but not as much as I thought I would. So the logical reason is he disguised himself.

“I was expected that this is why I call Lana. It’s the witch who cast the spell to hide my true appearance.”

“Hi, I’m Lana! It’s nice to finally meet you, after all, I heard about you. This is my friend Asher, I try to come without him but he was too curious!” A petit woman says.

“Nice to meet you!” A man blushes behind her.

“Do it, Lana.” Terrence, I mean Tom says.

Wow. Just wow! Yep! Now I’m really attracted to him, like really really really attracted. Like the bee with the honey! He is just like a god. Wow.

“I..., I...” I stutter.

He smirks: ” Liking what you’re seeing.”

“How can you lie to me!” I say feeling betrayed suddenly.

“I wish I could show you. It will more simple.” He sighs.

“Actually, I can help!” Lana says excitedly.

“How?” I ask.

“I can with a spell switch your spirit. You will have access to all his memories and he will have access to all your memories.”

“I don’t know if it’s a good idea...” I say.

“Why? I have nothing to hide from you.” Ter- Tom says.

“No, it’s not as you were lying for 4 months now!” I say with sarcasm.

“Let’s do it, like that you will understand.” He says pissed.

“Fine!” I reply.

“Great! Can you take his hand, please? And closes your eyes.” Lana says excitedly. She starts to speak a foreign language and I feel weird tingling. When she stops to speak I open my eyes.

“What the hell?” I say but my voice is deeper.

“Fuck!” I see me scream.

“What? What’s wrong?” Lana asks.

“We exchange our bodies too!” I say.

“Oups! Sorry.” Lana with a worried face while Asher is crying out of laugh on our back.

“I will replace a solution. You go looking for his memories.” She adds and she runs out of the room.

How do I do that?

“Let me help you.” A voice says in my head making me jump!

“Sorry, I’m Tom’s wolf.”

This is so weird! How do I answer to him?

“Just speak in your mind, I will hear you.” He says kindly.

I like you, I think hoping it works.

“I like you too! Now let me show you our memories. If you have questions, just let me know.”

Okay! I let him guide me in their memories. It’s a bit overwhelmed but it’s giving another point of view of him. I’m taken aback by his sadness and depression after the death of Melissa. I don’t know if he realized that he was dying slowly and without Selina, he would not be here today. Their relationship is still difficult to accept but I know how deep their friendship is. I just have to work on that. Without her, I wouldn’t have my mate now. And if I have met him 2 years ago, I would have just rejected me. Before her, he was not ready to love again.

Thank you! I think for his wolf.

“Are you okay?” I or Tom in my body is asking me. This is so confusing!

“Yes, I was speaking with your wolf. I like him”

“He spoke to you? He didn’t speak to me since I accepted the bond.” He says surprised.

“Maybe it’s because you are becoming a Lycan and as your mind is in my body but not your wolf he has his own voice again.” I supposed.

“Maybe.”

“I’m sorry you’re losing your wolf for me.”

"Don’t be, I’m not dying we are just becoming one. I’m feeling more powerful than before and I have more control over our body than before. I like that." His wolf says.

“You zone out again. My wolf was speaking again?”

“Yes, he was. And I understand now. I still need time to accept your past with my cousin but I’m okay with your friendship and her position in your life. I will still be jealous but I will work on that.”

“I like it when you’re jealous. It's hot.” He smirks.

“Remind me to never smirk like that! I’m looking ugly.” I tell him.

“Impossible! You can only be beautiful nothing else. I love you, Emily.”

“And I love you, Tom.”

" I want to kiss you but it’s kind of a bit weird.”

“I know me too, I want to kiss you.”

And I close my eyes and kiss him. It’s weird to not feel his beard but it’s still him. He is shocked by my action at the beginning but quickly in deepens the kiss and it’s becoming hot. Suddenly I’m feeling myself hardening. What?! I stop to kiss him and look at my crotch. Hmm, so this is how it feels?

“Are you checking me out?” Tom says teasing me.

I snort: ” As if you didn’t think for a second to check my boots, pervert!”

“You were the one checking my dick and I’m the pervert!” I say faking to be offended.

“I was just surprised to feel something hardening between my leg. It’s the first time. Just make me feel curious to know how it would be to have sex with that.” I explain.

“I’m curious too. We could try if you want.”

“PG-13 Alert, you’re not alone in this house! Please keep your crazy idea for later.” Lana says from the kitchen and I groan. I forgot about them.

“Come on Lana, I would be curious too.” Asher defends us.

“Of course, you would. You pervert! I’m sure in Tom’s place, you will be already playing with yourself.” Lana reply.

“Absolutely not!” He says with a weird voice, higher.

I liked them. They are fun.

“I know how to reverse the spell. Do you want me to do it or we wait?” She asks.

“No, do it now. I need to show my mate how to play with my body.” Tom says with lust in his voice.

Damn that hot and I do want him to show me how to play with him. Lana asks us to take our hands and we close our eyes again. After a few sentences in the foreign language, I feel my mind coming back in my body. I sigh and touch my breast. Good to be back!

“And I’m the pervert!” Tom smirks his eyes full a lust.

He lifts me and carries me toward his room.

“Bye Lana, Bye Asher. Tell Selina to not come back today.” He tells them.

******

I’m waking up by someone kissing me neck. Oh, my Goddess, we marked and mated each other yesterday night. And it was wow, just wow.

“Good morning my gift. How are you?”

“Good morning Love, I’m good, even better than good. Yesterday night was wow.”

“I know, you’re so perfect. You’re made for me!” He says with pride.

I kiss him with all my heart.

“What do you want to do, my gift? Your desires are my command.” He says kissing me again

“I wish we could stay at bed all-day but we need to speak about Selina’s problems.”

“So you believe her now?”

“I know what I saw in your mind. I need to apologize to her and I want to help her. Speaking of that, I need to kill Alexis for lying to me.” I reply.

“I think he is ashamed of himself.”

“Maybe but in this case, he should have said nothing at all.”

“You’re right but first we need to take care of the plotters.”

“Yes! How can I help?” I say.
