SHE HAS THEA LOCKED OUT . CALLIOPE , for the first time in her life , has locked thea out of her bedroom , has put up a bit of a divide . there is no fight , here . no argument , no harsh words exchanged , best friends , soulmates , in a fight . she would normally anticipate thea booking it during a situation like that , but this time — this time , it is all callie . this is calliope’s fault , with her wolf teeth and her claws . with her feral heart , goddess - given , lycan - gifted .
calliope had shifted , thigh pressed to thea’s , warm and tingly . she shifted and for some reason , she’s not shifting back .
wolfgirl huffs , loud . that enough should alert thea that she is , indeed , alive , but her best friend stays firm on the other side of the door . callie can almost feel the press of her palms to the door . she sniffs , and her voice comes wet . ‘ i’m alive , thea . i don’t know why i — why i shifted . ’ lisped by her fangs , calliope thunks her head to the door , hard . slides down to the floor , guiltyguilty . was she scared ? had callie scared her ? ‘ don’t know why i’m not shifting back , either . could you just — ’ she doesn’t want her to go . desperately wants to open the door . but is it safe ? is it safe ? ‘ you should go home , thea . maybe it’s because of the full moon , i — i’ll be fine . i’ll see you tomorrow . ’ and then , because she cannot help it , her voice comes small , meek , ‘ sorry . did i scare you ? ’
