Silver lay next to her fake boulder, her huge head resting on her paws. She watched the small kids walk past her cage in awe, surprised to be so close to an apparent wild animal.
She was wild, but not in the way that they thought.

She was wild; untamed, desperate to be free once more.

The first 20 years of her life had been rough. Her permanent memory not helping remove any of the nightmares, but she had learnt to lock them away. However, she was breaking.

Being kept hostage or in captivity for her entire life was somewhat a downer on her mood.

Her eyes watched once again as a werewolf guard walked past her cage. The Royal family had placed a guard to watch her as long as he could, but they couldn't watch her at night. If she was in human form, she would be blushing like crazy, as her thoughts moved to her mate. His spiked blonde hair, sexy blue eyes, the amount of love he had for her as soon as their gazes met.

Silver sighed, getting up to stretch her long legs. She heard the crowd gasp at her movement, and some people started to flash their cameras'. The white lights disorientated her, making her stumble. Her head started to pound, as though she had photogenic epilepsy.

She growled; her ferocious voice rumbling throughout the zoo. The people froze. The guard froze. Even the other animals' froze.

Sprinting into the back of the enclosure, furthest away from the door, she watched as the people started to move once again.

Merde. She cursed, watching as the keepers moved to her enclosure door.

"Willow!" they shouted from the other side of the door. They didn't dare enter, they knew how angry she could get.

"We have dinner!" They shouted again, making her still.

ISABELLA! She shouted in her mind, to her bonded sister.

Isabella! Carter shouted to Bella's wolf, desperate to make her stop running. He and his beast were tiring, and Bella didn't seem to stop any time soon.

Gabby was sprinting away from her mate, when she heard her human's name enter her mind. However, it wasn't from Carter.

ISABELLA!

Gabby halted, frowning at the voice. It was familiar, but she couldn't place it.

It's Silver! Bella said to her wolf. She's in trouble!

Gabby was about to sprint off, when Carter collided with her form.

Bella, please let me explain what happened! I never meant to hurt you! Carter cried into her mind, but neither Bella nor Gabby listened.

Gabby thrashed her long, brown legs in an attempt to get Carter off. She kicked him straight in the chest, and he flew into a neighbouring tree.

He didn't get back up.

Gabby halted, watching her mate. His light blonde hair ruffled in the wind, his blue eyes shut. She longed to see the brown eyes of his wolf, but he wouldn't surface just yet. When she saw Carter breathing, she released a breath she didn't know she was holding.

Gabby, what about Silver?! Bella cried in her mind.

We can't go to her in my form! Shift back when I get back to your room. Gabby guided, sprinting back to the main house.

She sprinted to the front door, where the guards let her in, recognising her peculiar scent. She ran up the staircase, and crashed down the door to her room.

Immediately running to the bedroom, she crashed on the bed, snatching a duck-down pillow in her jaws.

Surface! Gabby shouted in her mind, as she tried to withdraw from her form.

What do you mean surface?! Bella cried, panicking slightly.

Do not panic Bella, just breathe. Imagine yourself walking towards my eyes, in your mind. Imagine yourself walking forwards. Gabby guided yet again, as Bella did as she was told.

Suddenly, Gabby's brown fur ripped away, showing Bella's tanned skin. She howled, as her human quite literally leapt out of her own skin.

Bella lay naked on her bed, face down, breathing heavily. Her hands spread out, easing the weight off her chest. However, she was weak from the shift. She collapsed yet again, stuffing her face back into the ripped pillow.

Rolling off the bed, she used a neighbouring table to help herself up. When she saw herself in the mirror, she screamed, collapsing back onto the bed.

She gasped, looking at her new self. Her green eyes sparked with light, a new fire embedded within them. Her features were more toned, smoother, and her previous acne was now gone; blemish free.

Her brown hair, like Gabby's fur, was replaced. A new, blonde hair was there instead, cupping her clear face. The shade was almost opposite to her brown hair, but she was still shocked.

She stood, still slightly wobbly on her feet, but she looked at her full self in the mirror. She had a toned stomach, a slight definition of abs there, and average sized breasts. Her long, toned legs were that of a model; fit and sexy. Her arms were slender, but her biceps were noticeable, the slight curve of her upper arm appearing as she flexed.

 Who is that?! Bella asked in her mind.

That is you. Well, that is us, actually. Gabby answered in her mind. You finally accepting me, and shifting into my form, means that I took your hair colour as my fur. You hair colour now is the exact opposite of what it was before.

Bella ran a hand through her blonde hair. It was silky, slightly layered, but it was beautiful. It had the cute flick at the end of her strands, making Bella smile slightly.

We're beautiful. Bella whispered in her mind. Gabriella smiled in response, before turning back to the matter at hand.

You might want to get some clothes on, someone might walk in. We don't have a door anymore, remember? Gabby thought, making Bella spring into action.

Not before tripping over the bed.

Bella landed flat on her face, and a laugh ran out through her head.

"Still not used to my legs..." Bella muttered, before throwing on some clothes from the wardrobe.

Hello all!! Good to finally upload again :)
Just to clarify, werewolves in this book have their fur the opposite of their hair colour once fully shifted.
e.g. If their hair is black, then their wolf fur is red (not rare, but not common). If their hair is red, their wolf fur is black (pretty common as well, just no red-headed characters yet). If their hair is brown, their wolf fur is blonde (which is rare.), and if their hair is blonde, their wolf fur is brown (more common.)
Hope that explains stuff!
