Chapter 103 - Another Wolf
Nigel abruptly got up from his bed and slowly moved towards the window. He took a whiff and he got a distinguished smell coming from the other side. But he just couldn\'t tell what that animal was based on that smell, he had never smelt this scent in his life before.
"What kind of animal is it? Is it something I have never seen before?" Nigel thought to himself and moved further closer to the window.
He pushed the window slightly and then peeked from the small opening. The scent was even stronger when he did that. He looked in the direction where the slight growling was being heard from. But he couldn\'t see that animal.
He was really curious about this new kind of animal. So he opened the window wide and leaned in further to get a clear view.
The animal was sitting right against the wall and Nigel saw what it was, it was a white wolf. At first, he just thought that it was a normal wolf until it stood up upon seeing Nigel. The wolf was way too big and almost hit Nigel\'s face with its back when it got up.
"Whoa," Nigel was afraid of that huge animal and jumped back. For a moment, he forgot that he was also a wolf.
And something unexpected happened right in front of his eyes. The wolf began to morph into a naked human.
Nigel fell down on the floor when he witnessed that sight. He felt like he would get sick just from watching the morphing process. "Oh god, what the hell is that thing?" Nigel uttered under his breath.
The wolf finished its transformation. And Nigel could see a teenager smiling at him. "Wulfric?" Nigel was stunned to see the Crown Prince of Aberdeen in front of his window, naked.
Wulfric had raven black hair that came down to his shoulder. He had a chiseled jawline and a little pointed jaw. His eyes looked full of mischievousness. And his body had a wide frame with sturdy-looking muscles.
Wulfric grinned at his cousin and jumped inside the room from the window. He stood in front of Nigel, who was still on the ground, and he pointed at himself and said, "This thing is your brother, Nigel. Don\'t you still recognize me? I don\'t think I\'ve grown up that much for you to not recognize me."
Nigel was just speechless. He had never seen any wolf turning into a human before. He did not remember his first transformation, so everything that he just saw right now was very new to Nigel.
Seeing Nigel so stunned, Wulfric narrowed his eyes and made a guess, "You don\'t remember your own transformation, do you?"
Nigel was getting distracted by the naked frame of Wulfric. He had tight and bulky muscles. He looked so athletic that Nigel was ashamed of himself. And his naked cousin reminded him of his own situation when he had found himself naked in front of another man.
"Hey, what are you gawking at?" Wulfric felt uncomfortable from the stare that Nigel was giving him so he grabbed the blanket from the bed and wrapped it around his waist.
Nigel laughed and said, "I was thinking that you\'ve grown big, like really big. You put me to shame."
Wulfric creased his brows and then gave a quick glance at Nigel\'s groin area. And with a proud smile, he said, "You mean yours is smaller than mine?"
"Smaller?" Nigel was a bit confused. And when he realized what his cousin meant he yelled at him, "I didn\'t mean that genius. I just meant your body muscles. You are really… muscular than me."
"Oh!" Wulfric glanced at Nigel\'s groin area again and teased him, "But don\'t you think mine is bigger?" And he began to giggle like a child.
"Eww… just stop talking about it already." Nigel gave a playful kick on Wulfric\'s ankle and got up from the floor.
Nigel had not seen Wulfric in more than two years, so he gave a tight hug to his brother. "I missed you brother." He broke off from the hug and commented with envy, "And you\'ve grown taller than me! Wow."
Wulfric grinned proudly again. "Well, I\'m just 17, I bet I will grow even taller. Can\'t wait to grow even taller and stronger."
Nigel gave a playful slap on Wulfric\'s head and complained, "Stop boasting in front of me."
They both sat down on the small bed. Wulfric wriggled happily on the bed, he seemed to be enjoying the small room a lot more than Nigel. "This place is so nice. I wish I could also stay in such houses sometimes."
"That\'s right! How are you here? Are you even allowed to leave the Palace?" Nigel remembered that Wulfric was not allowed to go out of his Palace except when there were some urgent political matters to take care of.
Wulfric pressed his index finger against his lips and shushed Nigel. "Shhh… Don\'t mention this to anyone ever okay? My father will punish me if he finds out that I ran away from the Palace in the middle of the night. He will increase the number of guards even more."
And Nigel was even more surprised to hear that, "You ran away in the middle of the night?" Nigel furrowed his brows and wanted to confirm something, "You mean you ran all the way till here in the middle of the night and you arrived here… at the middle of the night? How fast can you run?"
Wulfric looked at Nigel and kept on staring at him for quite some time. "You really don\'t know anything about your new body, do you?" He leaned back on the wall and warned Nigel, "Well… be prepared for extremely rigorous training. You will wish that you had never turned."
Nigel didn\'t know what kind of rigorous training that Wulfric was talking about. So he wasn\'t worried at all. "I have been training my whole life, so how hard can this really be?"
Wulfric shook his head at that innocent new puppy who was new to the werewolf world and said, "The very first training that you are going to go through is turning on other days than the full moon, turning into your wolf form at will."
The Crown Prince took a deep breath and said, "You saw me transforming earlier, didn\'t you? Imagine all of the bones in your body breaking and reforming at the same time.. You will have to go through that same process at least a hundred times in one day."
