He was numb. It's as plain and simple as that. His worse nightmare had come true.
Theodore had triggered his werewolf curse.
It was an accident. He was out with Maxwell when they saw a man forcefully dragging a girl away and the two ran after him. They started to beat him and Theodore had dealt the fatal blow. Theodore had fallen to the ground and Maxwell was looking at him concerned until the blonde's head snapped up and his iris were gold.
Ever since that night, he had been terrified of his first full moon. As a crescent wolf, he would have to control over his transformation, except for his first one. He honestly thought that he would never trigger his curse, but he triggered it by trying to save someone's life.
Today was the dreaded day. Everyone was walking on eggshells around the boy not wanting to make him any more upset than he was, both Maxwell and Quinn had offered to be there with him but he turned them down. He felt that it was his cross to bear alone. It was his punishment.
He was out deep in the woods of Charlotte where no one would go. He had on in short and a sleeveless shirt, his crescent birthmark on display on the back of his shoulder. He heard rustling and immediately turned around, seeing Vincent standing there with a bag.
"Did you really think I was going to let you go through this alone?" Vin questioned the blonde he had grown to love as a son.
"Honestly? Yes. Because all my life I never put first. I lived forever in the shadow of my sister, and it hurt. I honestly thought no one would ever be here to help me through my first transformation. I didn't want to get Max and Quinnie involved because I already screwed up their lives enough." The blonde admitted.
"Hey, you're family now Theodore. You don't have to be a Mikaelson anymore. Be a Jefferson. And we'll always put you first." Vin reasoned and watched as the moon started to show.
"I don't want to be a burden, Robert and I don't want to be burden you and everyone else." The boy cried, his eyes starting to turn yellow.
"You aren't a burden Theodore. None of you are. We love having you around. You two and Finn complete this family." The hybrid told him.
Theodore cried as his ankle broke. He could feel all of his bones mangling into odd positions. He was now on the ground screaming in pain. Vin was right there coaching him through it.
"You're halfway there. Let it consume you, think about nothing but running free." Vin told him.
"Dad, it hurts so bad! Dad, make it stop!" He cried as his teeth sharpened into their wolf-like fangs.
"You're almost there champ, the pain will stop soon." He reassured as tears came to eyes when he called him dad.
With a final scream and then a feral growl Theodore had turned into a black wolf. He looked at Vincent who gave him a smile.
"You did it, kiddo." He whispered and watched as he backed up and began to run free in his wolf form.
He followed behind him and watched how he looked around at everything. Seeing everything with your wolf eyes, and senses was an amazing experience.
After about four hours in his wolf form, Theodore began to shift back. Maxwell placed a blanket over him and waited for him to finish shifting back.
"That was so surreal. You were right. It felt so freeing to be in my wolf form." Theodore said as he regained full awareness.
Vincent chuckled and handed him some sweatpants and a t-shirt so he could put some clothes on and turned around to give him some privacy.
After a few minutes he saw the blonde walk up to him and smiled.
"Thank you for helping me with this. I know I said this earlier but I wanted to tell you that I see you as a dad. I never really had a dad before. I mean I had my Uncle Kol, Uncle Elijah, Uncle Norman, and Marcel but they're my uncle's and brother..." Theodore rambled before being cut off by Vin chuckling.
"It's fine, you don't need to explain yourself. I see you as a son and I see Robert as a son also. I meant it when I said you were a part of this family. You don't have to be a Mikaelson anymore. You can be a Jefferson. I know Rose sees you and the boy as her own too." Vincent told him.
Theodore didn't hesitate for a single moment to hug him. He hugged him back just as tight.
