The heart rate monitor lulls me into silent thought as I study her face. The doctors said she was completely fine, physically. The mental part they weren't to sure about. My wolf is silent, he has been ignoring me ever since she hit her head. I sigh and put my face in my palms. This is all my fault. I internally groan. She wouldn't have run off if I didn't try and take her from the fucking hospital, dumbass. Rubbing my eyes I look back up. There is a small scar on her forehead I hadn't seen before. It was probably from her father. I inwardly growl. If I ever see that basturd he will pay.
I look back up and almost jump when I see her eyes.... stunning, beautiful emerald green eyes. They're open. "H-hey." I say my heart fluttering. Thank god she is awake. It takes me a second to realize that her eyes changed, they're now a dazzling silver. I frown and lean forward. Cici, no, Maya growled. I lean back, quickly. Her eyes stare at me, calculating. "Well now you have your wolf." I say, still keeping my eyes on her. She still looks at me, her expression un-moving. She has an animal look on her face that screams danger. "Talk to me Cici." I say again leaning forward again. With lightning quick reflexes she sits up and swings her leg up around my neck. Before I can react she has me pinned to the floor by my neck between her thighs. I try to move but she has me pinned. My wolf growls and begs to take over. "Cici, calm down." I say, refusing to let my wolf fight her, it would only make the situation worse. She growls. "Talk to me." I plead.

"I am calm." She growls. I freeze. Her voice, it sounds different. More confident.
"Can you let me go?" I ask cautiously. She closes her eyes and takes a deep breath before opening them again. This time they are back to there brilliant emerald green. She sits up and rolls off me, i hop up and she does the same.
"The old Cici is gone. This is the new Cici and Maya of course." She says. She looks into my eyes and time stops. I drink her in as my eyes roam her figure hungrily. My heart is pounding as I subconsciously wrap my arms around her and pull her closer. My wolf shivers in pleasure and he says to me 'This time, I am not letting go.' I don't know what he means by 'this time' but I agree, I will never let her go.
