powerless to help. I wanted to give you the option of changing your body to who you used to be, without having to shift into a wolf.”
    The hell she’d seen her sister live was not something she would wish on anyone. It was horrible to see her suffering as her body was overcome with the change. She could still hear the screams of pain as the bones popped and the fur pushed out of her the first time while she was still recuperating from her attack.
    “The wolf is a part of me now, Sophia. If she weren’t there, I’d feel less than whole. I would never change back if it meant losing her.” Julia grasped Sophia’s hand and looked at her with unease. “What are you going to do now?”
    “What do you mean?” God, what a day it had turned out to be, and it wasn’t even lunchtime yet. She needed a stiff drink or better yet, a stiff cock, preferably the one playing macho alpha outside.
    She hadn’t been with anyone since she moved into town, and it depressed her that it had been so long ago. Fuck this! She wasn’t going to let some fur and a tail turn her into a crybaby.
    “Sophia, you’re in heat, both your animals want to mate. You would have stripped Chase naked outside and raped him if he hadn’t stopped you. Of course…I think he was more than willing to let you do whatever you wanted to him.” She grinned, and a small laugh escaped her at Sophia’s flabbergasted look.
    “I don’t remember that!” Holy crap she’d thrown herself at Chase? Man-candy Chase? FBA Chase? The man that every night stripped for her in her mind? Who proceeded to do some really shameless, depraved, and corrupt things with his hands, tongue, and cock…in her head? Oh, hell no.
    Her pulse beat erratically, and she tried to keep her brain cells functioning. Blurry images of his arms holding her tight while his face rubbed against her neck were all she could draw up. Her hormones went into overdrive. Everything female in her begged for him to come and stroke her, to show her how big and strong he was in the most basic of ways.
    “Of course you don’t remember it,” Julia said. “When you’re in heat, your body turns off everything but the most crucial need, the need to mate and procreate.”
    “Wait, what? A mate? As in, I want to have sex, right? But procreate? I don’t know about that.” She could feel herself starting to hyperventilate. Babies? Sure, she wanted kids like most women, but first she needed a man for that.
    She needed a steady relationship…
    Screw that. What she really needed was some amazing sex, some sheet-melting, hair-tearing, make-me-hoarse-from-screaming, multiple-orgasm sex. And then she could see herself wanting babies.
    What the hell had she done?
    “Mate,” Julia answered. “As in someone to claim you for his own. You want him for yourself and no one else. And procreate? Well, I hate to tell you this, but how do you think I ended up with this little bun in the oven? It took me longer to go through heat because of the length of time my body took to adjust to my change. Your body absorbed it so quickly, it’s like you were born a shifter.”
    Suddenly all kinds of strange questions started running through her brain.
    “Oh…my…God.” She looked at her sister in dismay, “Does this mean when I have kids I’m going to have kittens? Puppies? Poodles? Iguanas?” A hysterical laugh escaped her. She was quickly losing what small hold she had on her mind.
    “Sophia! Be serious. There are no Poodles or Iguanas! As for the pups, you only have them in that form if you conceive while in wolf form. Which you won’t do .”
    “Damn straight I won’t. Because I’m a human being!” Did she sound deranged? She could already see the headlines: Geneticist Loses Mind from Lack of Sex , or even better, Woman Who Thinks She’s a Dog Caught Chasing Mailman.
    “You risk miscarriage when you shift. So you have to spend the duration of your pregnancy in whatever shape you were in when you conceived.”
