Untitled Part 15

                                    

                                          
Oliver stalked through the forest his yellow eyes scanning for any animal life. He had awakened that morning with a nervous energy that demanded he turn to his wolf form and go hunt. It had hit him like a deep dark need and as much as he did not want to leave Felicity this morning he could not ignore it. She had been sleeping soundly and he remembered how peaceful she had seemed when he left.
                          
Oliver spotted a small doe and even though she was bigger than most of the prey he hunted something was urging him to stalk her. He crept closer slowly his eyes locked on her as she languidly munched on the grass. His body was primed ready to pounce and he was about to race forward when suddenly he felt anxiety sweep through his body. He stilled immediately his muzzle lifting to the air as the feeling swept over him. Felicity.
                          
He turned and raced back toward the house and his fangs bared. His mate was scared, and he needed to get to her right now. Oliver shifted back to his vampire form when he reached the back door and he quickly entered and hurried up the stairs so quick that his form was a blur and he found Felicity sitting up in bed and Tommy holding her.
                          
His wolf side had not completely shifted back, and he growled when he saw Tommy with his arms around his mate.

Tommy held Felicity in his arms comforting his friend. He had heard her calling out for Oliver with panic in her voice and he had hurried to her room. He realized that Oliver must have gone out and Felicity had been so upset. It seemed that she was having dreams or premonitions and they were not sure which just yet.
                          
He had pulled her into his arms when she started crying. It was a natural response for him and she was his friend.
                          
He turned when he heard someone come in the door and knowing it was Oliver he was about to tell him that Felicity needed him when he heard Oliver growl. He looked to see Oliver standing in the doorway, his body that of a vampire but his eyes and aggressive demeanor were pure wolf. He released her slowly and put a small bit of distance between them.
                          
"Felicity move away from me slowly." Tommy did not take his eyes off Oliver whose eyes were glowing a deep gold and he had his fangs bared.
                          
"Why? Oliver this is Tommy. He is your friend." She tried to reason with him, but Oliver's eyes were focused directly on Tommy.
                          
"Something is wrong. His wolf side is still dominant right now and he would love nothing more than to rip my throat out." Tommy kept his hands away from Felicity because he knew that if he touched his friend, he was dead.
                          
Oliver growled and moved a step closer and Felicity stood quickly and stepped between them. "Oliver please."
                          
It was like he didn't even hear her, his focus solely on the man who had been touching his mate, and there was a killer look in his eyes. He was not listening to her so how the hell were they going to bring him back from the brink?
                          
Tommy moved to his feet keeping his distance from Felicity.
                          
"Oliver, I was comforting Felicity. She woke up and when you were not there she got worried." Tommy started to talk to him hoping that he would snap out of his hybrid state.
                          
"Oliver, I have been having some dreams about you and about Slade and when I woke up and you were gone I grew worried. That is all. Tommy was just comforting me." She took a step closer and Oliver growled again.
                          
"Felicity please be careful. He is not the Oliver you know right now." Tommy was worried. They still were not 100% sure how Oliver would act as his wolf side tried to take over. He could become deadly, even to Felicity.
                          
"He is always the Oliver I know. It doesn't matter if he is a vampire or a wolf. He is the man I love." She took a closer step and for the first time since he had entered the room his eyes shifted to her.
