Fox Shifter novel Chapter 15

I blushed and looked down at my feet. Hands gently gripped my chin and tilted my head up. I get lost in his eyes as I stare at him. He leaned in and kissed me, our lips moved in synch.

"Lets go inside,mate" he said grabbing my hand but before he can turn the doorknob, the door burst open. Chloe stood there, eyes shining as she eyes their linked hands.

She pulled them in and tugged me towards her room. Austin frowned a little at the lost contact.

"See you later!" I tell him giving him a peck on the lips before Chloe pulled me away.

She shut the door behind us and sat me down on her bed.

"So?! How did it go? Did you guys kiss? Was it romantic? What-"

"Woa... slow down there tiger, I'll tell you alright? Just stop before you lose your breath and die because of lack of air."

She grinned,"OK OK NOW SPILL."

And that is how I ended up staying awake for three hours, answering her questions and telling her about the date.

I blinked my eyes open and sighed. As yesterdays night came rushing back to me, I grinned and hopped out of bed. I did my business and walked out in a pair of ripped skinny jeans and a light purple top.

I skipped down the stairs, heading towards the kitchen. I walked in and saw Austin sitting there, eating breakfast.

He smiled at me and said, "Morning." I skipped over and kissed him on the cheek.

"Woa... someone's happy this morning," Josh said as he walked in. His bed head was sticking out in all directions and his eyes were half opened.

"Yep," I said popping the 'p."

He chuckled and tried to steal a bacon from my plate, thinking I can't see him. I grabbed his hand and slowly started twisting.

"Now now Josh, what were you doing?"

He flinched,"Psh, why did you think I was doing something?"

" Now mate, as much as I love to see you kick ass, I wouldn't want you breaking my beta's hand," Austin said chuckling.

Ignoring him, I said,"No one and I mean no one touches MY food, got it?"

Josh gulped, "Yes, Ma'm." I smiled letting go of his hand and continued eating.

I shoved all the bacon in my mouth just as the others came in.

"Wassup guys?!" Liam said bouncing into the room. I raised an eyebrow at him.

"You guys want to go for a run? I don't have any work today," Austin said, putting the plate in the sink.

"Sure!" We said.

"Let me get ready," Chloe said running up the stairs.

When Chloe came down, we all gathered outside. We went behind separate trees and stripped off our clothing. I welcomed the feeling of my bones cracking and reshaping into my fox. When the change was finished, I shook out my white fur. I walked out from the tree and saw the others already shifted.

I ran away from the others as Luke began counting. I saw a hole in the bushes and dove in.

"Gotcha!' I guess he has already found Chloe.

So far, it's only Josh and I left in the game. A few minutes later, he found Josh. Guess I'm the only one left.

"Ok guys, we need to find Sky, Austin you head north, Chloe you south, Liam you head east, and I'll head went."

Suddenly, I could feel a cold presence near me. I froze and sniffed the air. Nothing. I looked around but saw nothing except the greenery around me.

Paws pounded on the ground near me. The scent of Austin's wolf surrounded me, making me breathe a deep sigh of relief. I can hear him start sniffing.

"Oh I know you're here mate."

I slipped deeper into the bush, hoping he wouldn't find me. A shadow fell on the bush I'm hiding in, I yelped as Austin poked his head in and grinned wolfishly.

"Found you."

I stepped out, shaking my fur as I did so while Austin informed the others. He walked over to me and nuzzled my neck, breathing in my scent. I nuzzled him back.

"Come on, lets go back to the others,' I said.

I turned around, flicking my tail at his muzzle. He snorted behind me and launched himself at me. I yelped as I fell down, with him on top of me, pinning me down. He growled playfully at me.
