Chapter 5

It took twelve hours for the wolf to show any sign of human consciousness and another two days until Clara finally shifted back. This gave Mary the perfect amount of time to go clothes shopping for Clara without any arguments over what she picked out. The closest she got to an argument was Clara grumbling as Mary showed her each garment. The other upside is that Clara could watch everyone without them knowing what she was thinking. She watched and listened to every conversation amongst the pack members. Some whispered about why Caleb was being blinded about her crimes against their kind, whilst the majority couldn’t believe how she stood up against Caleb or how she had shifted so fast after being bitten. But no one threatened her existence or seemed wary of her presence.

Finally feeling safe around most of the people in the house, Clara went up to her room and pushed herself to shift back. She stayed on the floor with eyes closed trying to work out how for a couple of hours. The wolf within seemed to take pity on her and eased back. When she shifted back Clara changed into loose summer dress which Mary had deemed too cute to turn down. Clara looked at herself in the mirror. The last time she had worn a dress had been when she was fifteen and way before she joined The Order. She smoothed out invisible creases and brushed out her hair. She felt like a different person although she wasn’t sure whether dresses suited her.

“Oh, I’m so happy you changed back. I was starting to think you were going to stay like that,” Mary gushed before pulling Clara into a strong embrace. Clara stood stock still as the small woman hugged her, it was something she wasn’t used to. All her life she had to earn affection and praise; she wasn’t quite sure how she had earned Mary’s affection.

“Well, don’t you look good when you’re not growling and covered in blood,” said a deep voice from the doorway. Clara turned to see Michael leaning against the door frame. Mary released Clara and waved her finger at Michael, “Where were you when I needed help in the garden earlier?” she lectured him.

“Caleb asked me…”

“You listen to me young man. Caleb may be your alpha, but I keep this house running, if I ask you to do chores you come running” Mary said sternly. Clara stifled a giggle and perched herself up at the countertop. For the past day she had watched Mary fling wooden spoons at Michael when he hadn’t listened to her and even drag Leonard away by the ear when he tried to chat up the pizza delivery girl. It was refreshing to see after Clara had spent years
