I stared at the big guy with wolf ears and a tail standing naked and shamelessly in front of me. Just what was he blabbing about? Did he think I was a kid?
A wolf turned into a man? What a load of bullshit. That had to be the most ridiculous thing I had ever heard.
"I'm calling the cops," I said, reaching for my phone I had spotted at the lamp table, but he immediately grabbed my hand, glaring at me. "Hey, let go. This... This is assault." I struggled.
"Try something funny and I will really assault you." He threatened. "You know too much at this point and I can't have you spilling my secret."
"What are you talking about?" I asked, still confused as to what was happening.
There was a big tall man, naked in my bedroom and wearing ears and a tail. He was a complete stranger and a lunatic for him to act so shamelessly while wearing such kinky stuff.
"Who are you, anyway?" I asked him.
"So, now you're interested to know who I am?" He asked.
"Of course. How else will I report you to the police?" As soon as I said that, his glare deepened and he tightened his grip on my arm.
It felt like he was going to break my bone in two by how much he was tightening his grip. What sort of strength was that?
"Okay, okay, I'm sorry. I won't... Ugh, I won't call the police. So let me go. You're hurting me." I said but he took a moment to observe me if I was going to keep my words before actually letting loose a little bit.
He did not let go of my hand and instead, asked,
"So, are you going to listen to my words now?" I nodded.
'I'll listen, but it doesn't mean I'll believe. I'm not an idiot.' I thought to myself. 'I might have a death wish, but if I die too easily, my resentful spirit will never be at ease.'
I sighed.
"Alright, I'll listen. So, you can let go now." I said and my gaze dropped down to the rod between his legs. "And cover up while you're at it."
So, we came to a concession and though I still thought that was a good idea, there was nothing I could do against that man who had such brute strength.
He sat opposite me with the blanket draped around his body like a Greek god, and I had to admit that with a body like his, he fit the bill just perfectly.
"So," I tore my eyes away from him, trying not to get tempted and let my gay side best me. "Who are you and what can I do for you?"
"That is..." He paused, his eyebrows suddenly creasing in annoyance. His gaze traveled away from me and to the ceiling, and it looked to me that he was trying to recall something. "This is the worst." I heard him hiss as he covered his face.
"So," I urged. "You are?"
"I have no idea." He suddenly said and it took me a moment to process what he had just said, thus forcing me to exclaim in confusion.
"Huh? What... What do you mean you have no idea?" He looked at me seriously but I had to believe that was a joke. After acting all mighty and scary, he was going to play some sort of prank by telling me he didn't know who he was.
Oh, and he was probably going to tell me he didn't remember how he got on my bed as well, is that it?
I gave him a suspicious look and he sighed.
"I am not trying to pull any pranks so rest easy." He said. "And I am dismayed to know that I cannot recall who I am either. I..."
'Oh, so now he's speaking formally.' My suspicious radar just seemed to catch on to the little details.
"All I remember is that people were chasing me. I don't know why or who they were but I was in my wolf form and injured and then..." He looked up at me and I flinched, feeling my thoughts had been read all of a sudden.
His sharp gaze got my heart thumping for some reason.
"You picked me up." He said in a simple tone and I sighed, defeated.
"Okay, I'm going to assume that what you say is true. That whole chasing and you turning into a wolf or a dog, whatever. But..." I folded my arms. "Can you prove it?"
"Prove it?" He asked and I nodded.
"Yes. For me to believe you, you'll have to at least be able to turn back into an animal." I said and this seemed like the perfect plan.
There was no way he was an actual shapeshifter like in the fantasy books, so once he tries to make an excuse, I'll have all the reasons to kick him out. Yes, yes. That was what I was going to do.
"Alright," he said and it struck me. Wait, what was going on? "But I should warn you. My original form is quite bigger than the form you picked up. I don't remember much but I know that fact."
With widened eyes, I watched his body transform into that of another entity. His bones cracked and his joints readjusted right in front of me. It looked like a painful process but there was no grunt of pain or agony coming from him. Just subtle growls as he shifted from human to Wolf.
And before I knew it, a big black wolf was towering over me in my bedroom. It was... huge.
"Now," he said, his voice more hoarse and deep than before. "Do you believe me?"
