He looks at me, his eyes holding confusion. I push his head lightly off my lap and stand up. He whimpers slightly and I pet him on the head.
"I promised you I wouldn't run away, can you promise me that?" I whisper, but I know he hear me. He nods and I take a deep breath and sigh, closing my eyes. I feel my bones start to shift and when I open my eyes and I a huge black panther. He looks at me an his eyes widen. He takes a step back and I lower my head, taking quite a few steps back. I hear him step towards me and I feel his wet nose on my shoulder. His nose is own replaced by a hand and I look up into his eyes.
"I will never run from you." He whispers. I shift back and he hugs me. I bury my head in his shirt, trying to hide the face that I am crying. "Why are you crying love?" He asks me.
"I thought you would reject me."
"I could never." He said hugging me tighter. "Do you want to go for a run with me?" I pull my head up and nod.
"I would love to." I stand up and shift and he does the same. I flash him a toothy grin before running off into the forest. I hear him running behind me and I chuckle to myself. Suddenly I am tackled from the side and I look up and see my mate standing over me. I smile again and feel my body growing smaller. I run out of his hold as a small black kitten the size of his huge paw. He growls in confusion and spins around. I turn to face him and cock my head to the side. He smiles and puts his nose in my face. I bat his snout and he sniffs in surprise. He shifts back and picks me up. I start to purr and rub in his hand.
"My little mate, full of surprises." He says. He puts me down and I shift back and smile at him.
"That I am, but I think they are all gone now."
"Good, I hate being left in the dark." He hugs me again and pulls me onto his lap. His jeans are covered in dirt from sitting on the forest floor. "I knew that wasn't your real eye color." He whispers. I gasp and close my eyes. When I shift my contacts disappear, but my clothes stay, I don't know how. "Don't hide from me." He says grabbing my chin. I open my eyes and look away.
"Sorry, force of habit."
"That why I need you to live with me." He grabs my hands and lace his fingers with my own. "I need to know you're safe."
"Okay, I'll live with you." I say leaning against him. I feel like I could just melt in his arms.
