Dos was fast asleep while his arms were wrapped around me. I could hear his low snores and his even heartbeat. It seems like he hasn't been sleeping properly lately. He looks tired even when asleep but still handsome.
Our talk could wait. I nudge closer to Dos and he wrapped his arms tighter pulling me closer.
( ˘ω˘)
It was still dark when I woke up and Dos was still hugging me tight, his arm as my pillow and the blanket was already on top of us. Maybe Dos woke up in the middle of the night and tucked us in the blanket.
I moved gently, not wanting to wake him as I tried to search for my phone. It was still four in the morning. We fell asleep early so I wasn't surprised that I woke up early.
I decided to go back to sleep only to be surprised to see Dos wide awake.
"Good morning, hubby." He said.
"Good morning also." I said with my face heating up.
"I'm sorry, I fell asleep last night. Being with you makes me feel comfortable."
I was happy knowing that he felt comfortable around me. "It's fine. You must have been so tired these days." I unconsciously reached for his head and tucked his hair on his ear since it was already growing.
"Yeah, but I feel like I got reborn seeing you." He said making me smile shyly. "It's still dark, get some more sleep."
"You, too." I said and he hummed.
I was already wide awake and it would be hard for me to go back to sleep so I watched Dos go back to sleep. I don't know how, but I could see his face clearly despite how dark it was.
"You're not going to sleep again?" Dos asked without opening his eyes.
"I already had enough. I can't go back to sleep."
Dos opened his eyes. "Me, too. Then, should we talk instead?"
I looked at Dos' eyes and nodded.
"I honestly don't know where to start." Dos said, thinking but he still didn't let go of me and I was afraid that his arm as my pillow was getting numb.
"How about let's start with the mark?" I said, recalling what Curtis told me that he didn't want to tell me the details saying Dos should be the one to tell me.
"About that, I'm so sorry. I couldn't stop myself."
I shook my head. "It's okay. I'll listen to what you have to say."
"Thank you." Dos pulled me and kissed the top of my head. "I intend to tell you those things later but I never thought I would mark you first before telling everything...You could say that I'm a werewolf." Dos paused and looked into my eyes as if trying to figure out what I was thinking.
I didn't know if Dos was just joking but he looked so serious that I stared at him blankly.
"L-Like wolves?" I blinked.
"You don't believe me, do you?"
I only looked at Dos. It was hard to believe, of course.
"How about I show you my half form then?" Dos said and I was surprised.
"Y-You can transform!?"
I couldn't imagine Dos turning into dogs like those in movies. Is that even possible?
Dos smiled. I did remember that Dos has been asking me before what if he was a werewolf. He asked me several times also. So, it was kind of true?
"Of course. I won't be called werewolf if I don't shift."
"You're going to show me?"
I gasped when Dos tightened his arms around me. "Only if you won't be scared."
"D-doesn't it looks like a dog?"
"Uhh, we hate being compared with dogs but you could say that." Dos pressed the tip of his nose with mine.
"Oh, I'm sorry." I said and he chuckled.
"We're bigger compared to dogs."
I stared at Dos and I recalled those dogs I met when I was a kid. Bigger than them? Or maybe the same? I suddenly felt terrified thinking about it but I suddenly remembered about my dreams. The wolf in my dream was huge but it was a wonder why I wasn't afraid of it.
"Ahhh!" I exclaimed and Dos was surprised by my sudden outburst when I remembered that I did dream of the wolf turning into Dos. That one where he was naked.
"What?" Dos asked, curious.
I covered my lips with my hand and blushed because my mind was thinking about the naked Dos.
Stop thinking about it! He will read my mind!!
So, I have been dreaming about it all along!
Was it a sign?
"I—I have been dreaming about you and a wolf for a while now." I said and Dos was surprised.
"You've been dreaming? Why didn't you tell me?" Dos asked.
I blushed recalling that dream when he was naked. It was still so vivid in my mind.
"It was just a dream. I never thought it was true."
Dos chuckled.
"Were you afraid of the wolf in your dreams?" Dos asked.
"Surprisingly, I wasn't." I said and Dos smiled.
"What if I told you that the wolf you saw in your dreams is my wolf? He's called—"
"Remus?" I cut Dos and Dos stared at me.
"So you already met him."
"I guess."
"Then, there won't be a problem." Dos said and I was kind of worried.
"You can change into that wolf? That huge wolf?" I said, confused and couldn't comprehend how does it work.
"Yes, do you want to meet Remus?"
I stared at Dos' eyes and he looked so serious.
"Will he be available right now?" I asked and I realized that it sounds stupid.
"Of course." Dos rubbed his thumb on my cheek. "But let's take it easy. I know you're quite terrified thinking about facing huge dogs."
I pursed my lips. Dos was true so I didn't argue with him.
"You'll be fine seeing my half form." Dos said.
My eyes went wide seeing Dos' eyes suddenly changed colour and it glowed. Glowing bright blue eyes and it was identical to the eyes of the wolf in his dreams.
My heart was pounding inside my chest thinking that the half form that Dos was talking about is that half of his body would transform into a wolf.
"Y-Your eyes." I couldn't stop staring into his eyes because they look so beautiful. Just like that night when he bit me.
"This is my half form." Dos said.
I leaned back and shyly scanned Dos from head to his hips. It was only his eyes that changed.
"Your eyes only?" I asked.
"I can draw my claws and canine too."
"Oh."
Dos smiled and I still couldn't stop myself not getting drowned with his glowing eyes.
"Do you believe me now?"
I nod my head.
"Are you scared of me?"
I shook my head. "Never." I said and Dos smiled while he turned his eyes back.
I gasped when Dos rolled on top of me and pressed his lips on mine in a brief kiss and then bit on my bottom lip.
