Chapter Two:

        I opened my eyes to the familiar white room. The wicked bright light hanging from above bathing my skin with its radiant luminescence. My first instinct was to cover my eyes and block out the light but the restrains holding down my arms made it almost impossible to move a muscle.

I took a small step back, pressing my back flat against the white cushioning. A sigh escaped from my lips and I let my body slowly fall to the ground, in order to comply I had to leave my arms remaining up. For slight comfort and relief, the chains were long enough for me to rest my arms on top of my head.

A pulsing pain corrupted in my neck from the piercing I'd been given by the needle some time ago. The throbbing sensation went up and down rhythmically, like a fast heart beat.

A loud womanly groan caught my attention as the sound flew through my left ear. In a quick motion, I craned my neck to the left and stared motionlessly at the girl stuck in the same situation as myself. Her black hair tumbled down covering her face as she stared down at the ground making inhuman sounds. She had her skinny figure fit perfectly into a loose green t-shirt and black leggings. Her outfit fired up jealousy in my system. Compared to my horrible grey stuffy jump-suit, she was wearing rich attire I'd beg on my hands and knees to touch.

A couple moments passed by without any words exchanged or shifty glances between us. The girl kept to herself, mumbling words under her breath I couldn't make out to be proper english at times.

No one seemed to be coming anytime soon so I built up the courage and spoke the first words. My voice croaked, "Hello?"

The girl stopped mumbling and I noticed her freeze. An awkward aura settling. Maybe she doesn't speak english.

In rapid time the girl shot her head up. Her icy cold blue eyes glaring at me harshly. Uncontrollably my heart increased it's speed in beating, matching the pace of the continuous throbbing pain still ignited in my neck.

An animalistic growl pounced off the back of her throat and out through her lips. My eyes widened at her outburst and alarm bells suddenly went off inside my head. She looked like a predator and I was her prey. She resembled a lion, and I resembled a gazelle. Don't panic, don't panic.

Fiercely she pounced forward as her eyes locked on mine. The chains on her wrists and legs pulled her back from her vicious attempt at attacking me. Like a bouncy ball, she flung backwards and landed on the ground harshly. It didn't seem to faze her, she was still in some sort of bloodthirsty trance and wanted to wrap her decent size pale fingers around my neck. It didn't take a genius to figure it out.

The beast inside of me had awoken from it's slumber. She was fighting me to be let out, this girl an enemy in her eyes. I let out a blood curling scream, closing my fists tightly to a point where my fingernails were digging deep into my sensitive skin. The transition was midway, I felt the beast pushing through my head and my whole body shaking furiously. The silver mist coated amongst the chains was not only burning my skin but withholding the transformation, trapping me in my human form. And for that, I was grateful.

"Help!" I screamed. My eyes were now clouded with tears and I could barely think straight.

My body jerked forward unconditionally. The movement pushed me forward towards the girl. No, no, no! I scrambled backwards as far as the chains allowed.

As disgusting as it sounds, I could feel the burning bundles of spit the animalistic girl released every time she growled. Her eyes were blazing into mine. They were no longer their natural icy blue colour I saw moments ago. The blue had faded and was replaced by a deathly midnight black colour.

I had never felt the thing inside of me so angry before. It had already taken over 20 percent of my body. My nails had grown out into sharp claws, and during that moment I noticed something off about my transformation. My nails weren't their usual creamy colour. The tips were a florescent green. What's wrong with me!

"Somebody please, help me!" I cried out attempting to pull my body up but I couldn't, my legs were acting like unstable jelly.

The relief that washed over me when I spotted a large group of men charge into the room was something I'd liked to have experienced sooner.

Two muscle men in tight black shirts moved over to me in a fast approach. They started removing the cuffs. Five men in the same attire attended the girl. The men were struggling to grab a hold of her with a good grip. She was strong and for that, a tiny portion of me felt sorry for those men.

My eyes were torn away from the scene in front of me when one of the guys beside me grabbed a hold of my chin roughly and tilted by head back. I tasted it before I saw it, a single Silvanus tablet.

The taste burnt my taste buds. Silvanus is a tablet genetically tested by me, in which stops the transition from human to beast. It's terrible but does the job.

The Silvanus slipped down my throat, leaving a disturbing popping sensation behind it. Once it was in my stomach that's when I felt it burst at it's climax. Rapidly I grabbed a hold of my stomach, ripping my head away from the mans hold and started curling up into a ball.

A cry escaped my dry lips. Nearly done, it's nearly over. Shhh...

I could feel my teeth shifting inside my mouth as well as my claws retracting back into my skin.

The pain subsided. I couldn't bring myself to look up at the girl again, I was too afraid although fear wasn't the only thing stopping me. After taking Silvanus another side effect is you become drowsy and eventually fall into a deep sleep for a couple hours.

It was a cool, airy night; the swaying of trees and stirring of leaves could be heard yet not seen, as the darkness had scratched out everything but the faintest light.

A full moon could be seen high in the sky, it resembled a shiny white pearl found inside freshwater muscles.

Alpha Jake and his strongest pack members, both men and women, were gathering around on the border line of their packs territory.

"I don't know what we are going up against. It's either Rogues or Hunters." Jake stated, crossing his arms and leaning his back against a tree. "But what I do know is, we are getting our Female Beta back; tonight."

With no further words to be exchanged, Alpha Jake pressed himself off the tree and walked over to Beta Caleb who was standing along the riverbank, watching the water's rapid current as it crashed into small rocks causing drops of water to splash everywhere.

"Caleb."

At the mention of his own name, Caleb turned to Alpha Jake. His eyes were pitch black and his pupils had dilated. Alpha Jake knew it was hard for his Beta to control his wolf; especially since the full moon was up and his mates scent must be driving him crazy.

With a brief nod in Caleb's direction, he knew what it meant and couldn't be any happier. A growl rippled through Caleb's chest and in no time his bones disengaged and re-connected a new skeleton into the form of a large animal; a wolf. Millions of thread-like rough hairs grew through his skin, his nails grew out into sharp claws, canines at full-length and his head transformed into a wolves cranium.

At the speed of light he pounced over the river like a wild Lion and breathed in his mates addictive sweet smell.

At Jake's demand, everyone shifted into their beasts and bolted off into the trees, hot on Calebs paws.
