This was a great new chapter. I really enjoyed seeing a little more on the re-bonding that took place between Lois and Chloe. I can see that Chloe had been quite upset from the estrangement from her cousin, and it was fantastic seeing that Chloe had wrestled her Wolfy-half into accepting Lois. I loved the detail about how Chloe had forced herself to become used to another person’s scent encroaching on ‘her territory’. LOL, it’s going to go a long way to helping her not tear out Lex’s throat when they start sharing a bedroom together, LOL!By mutual agreement, they chose to not begin searching for the hows and the whys. They chose to just be together. Even now, after Lois had left, Chloe’s apartment held faint traces of Lois. The kitchen counter where they both stood and talked and put food together to eat. The couch where they had sat and watched movies. The only place where Lois’ scent didn’t linger was the bedroom. Chloe hadn’t been ready to have her scent there, but it was a start. Sometimes baby steps were the way to go and sometimes charging madly and wildly was the way to go. The day had already been emotional, so it was a fairly easy decision to not push her luck with what she could and could not do.
No matter how small the step, it had been a big thing to feel content with someone else’s scent all over. It wasn’t obtrusive. It was comforting because Lois was once again family. She wasn’t a loud talking stranger that she had visions of maiming horribly. She was Lois again and that meant everything. It meant that even though her father wasn’t around, some part of him was with her, however removed.
Can we have a really sexy scene where we see Chloe growling at Lex until he submits and bares his throat to her? That would be SO hot
This was a BEAUTIFUL description on Chloe’s new physical perceptions and senses with the benefit of the wolf. It was lovely and breathtaking.Since becoming the wolf, sunset and sunrise became something of a spiritual experience…even when she was color blind. She might not have been able to see the brilliant hues now, but she could take note of the tree that was across the street. It was as if the absence of color forced her to note everything else. She could see the dips and hollows of the leaves. It was like she was holding the leaf in her hands. It was that vivid. The experience became so much more when could see the colors and be focused on them.
Chloe remembered the first time she had just *sat* and looked at something with her new sight. She’d been doing the dishes and the sun had caught this bubble. And there were just so many colors refracted and reflected back at her. It was then that it was really and truly hammered home that everything about her was different. Everything. The whole changing into a wolf was something almost abstract. It happened and then she was Chloe again, but this meant that it was with her even as Chloe. It was a surreal moment.
Chloe is getting a proper hold of herself. Heh, it would have been fun to see LEX suffering through a lot of Chloe’s ‘transitional problems’, but it seems like Chloe is going to have herself substantially under control by the time CHlex rolls in… Still, I’m sure being part of a relationship will bring up a whole new set of unexpected problem with the inner-wolf, and I look REALLY forward to seeing how it all work outShe disliked the fact that she was color blind but at these moments she could stop and try to appreciate everything else. It was the only way to adapt to the circumstances of her new life and all that entailed. Chloe was left with the earthshaking knowledge that she could not be what she was, could not remain in her present condition, but had no clue how to move forward. She did know that it began with Lois and Clark. Her family. Eventually her new life would include her father, but not now. Baby steps.
Please update soon.
