"No." Repeating the word over and over, as if that would negate the reality, Kristen walked to the bathroom and turned on the lights. The fluorescent bulbs weren't needed to highlight what was there. Her pupils were, indeed, a deep yellow. The color was framed by her thickened eyebrows. She swung her hair around and...dear God. Her hair was at least a foot longer than it had been that very morning. Her fingers shook as she held a thick section of red hair.

All she saw were the claws.

The scream was primal and Kristen sobbed as she sank to the floor. Nicholas was there instantly, wrapping his arms around her.

"What is happening to me?"

He rocked her back and forth, rubbing her back in circular motions. "Your body is going through a change."

"No shit, Nicholas. But why me? God almighty, I'm waving the freak flag high enough as it is. Now I'm part animal?" She held her arms in front of her face. "I've got fucking claws!"

"I know, beautiful. I've seen them."

"Don't!"

"Don't what?"

"Call me beautiful. I'm anything but."

"You're incredibly beautiful. Even now, with all the things that are disturbing you so badly."

"They aren't disturbing to you? You spent the night fucking a Lycan, werewolf, whatever and you're perfectly calm." The sobs slowed as she turned to look at him. "Why is that, Nicholas?"

"Because," he said as he held out his hand. Kristen gasped as claws extended from his finger tips. "I'm a Lycan too."
