Luke's POV.
A young wolf was starting her change. So I left for home two daysvearlier than my pack to attend to her, see that her change goes well.
There was a show of some sort being held in town and i didn't need the pack with me, I thought they should stay and watch it, make new friends along the way.
Jesse was a little harder to persuade so I had to order him to stay.
I got to the house and could hear the pain in her screams, I know what shes going through. As a lad we also had to complete the change, but at the age of thirteen instead of sixteen.
An Alpha would usually change a year early, or three in Jesse's case.
I when up to the girls room and walk straight in.
The girl, I think her names Susan or Susie, was sprawled out on her back. Her mother and father were sat on her bed, I stood beside them.
By the look of her, she had minutes before her wolf takes over to complete the change.
"It's time for you to leave." I say softly turning to her parents.
They nod and stand.
"She's going to be fine, I will call on you later and then you may see her." I smile as the head out the door, shutting it behind them.
I take a seat on the now vacant bed and wait.
Her screams continue to worsen as her bones begin to crack and shift.
"The pain will get better soon, I promise." I keep repeating to her.
I watch as her pained face softens, then begin to morph oblong with her limbs until finally she is a beautiful brown wolf. Her fur a similar brown to mine.
[Welcome to wolf hood.] I say. She turns to me suprised. [Mind link.] I add.
She gives me a grin in return and after a shaky stand, she tests her new limbs.
***
After telling her all the rules as a wolf, I helped her to change human again and grabbed her the quilt from the bed to wrap around her naked body.
"Get dressed and I will get someone to fetch your parents."
She bows her head and thanks me.
Jesse's POV.
I watched the minutes tick by.
11.29 pm.
11.30 pm.
11.31 pm.
11.32 pm.
11.33 pm.
11.34 pm.
11.35 pm.
I even began counting the seconds, only 24 minutes and 27seconds until midnight.
Luke ordered me to stay until tomorrow and midnight is technically the next day, right?
So if I head home then, I am not disobeying him.
My pack don't understand my need to get home, I have my mate there.
'You can't be sure she's our mate.' My wolf say, to which I reply with a growl.
She must be my mate, I've felt a connection to her ever since I met her.
'Not romantically though, you kissed her what? Twice.'
Mouthy little fucker today ain't ya I growl at him.
