Alpha Male *extended version*

Part 13

"Holy cow." Kiana was the first to speak. Everyone was standing in the middle of the twelve and thirteen year old classroom, and apparently it was a bit of a surprise to Kiana.

Lucas and Steve on the other hand just stood in the back as if it was nothing to them, or maybe it was and they just refused to show it. Still the twelve and thirteen year old classroom was nothing like the other two classes from earlier shown before. This classroom was a full gym, or rather six gyms in one. There were section for the new wolves to run and jump and get used to their new four legs, and on the right side an open doorway leading to the swimming pool. However, the gym itself was amazing. More places were set up for races if wanted between the wolves. Boulders took up some parts of the race for jumping. Finally a third of classroom was covered with forest like trees for wolves to get used to running and watching their surroundings.

"We use the gym mostly for wolves to understand their wolf form and how their wolf body worked." Josiph told the group. "Throughout a student's time in here they would run around the track and through the woods section, and before graduating all of the running times would be averaged. It usually averaged out to about seven minutes."

"What about the fourteen year old students? Where do they go?" Kiana asked. She was looking around the gym. Here eyes were big and round like a child's.

"They would have class here actually. The gym is big enough for both age groups. This way those who have just transformed can see what it's like for the older group. The two help one another out, and it works well. Also when a new wolf transforms for the first time it helps when an older wolf is close. It's almost as if their wolves work together through the transition." Josiph told her. "Sometimes though the groups are separated depending on what the other group has to do, but most times they are together."

"I've never heard of that." Steve said.

"At first we didn't either, but another pack was talking about it at a meeting when I was younger. My father tested it out here and it worked." Josiph said turning to Steve.

"What about the student who hasn't been able to transform yet?" Kiana questioned.

"You mean, Hunter?" We have been trying everything we can think of for him, but nothing has worked and we don't know why." Josiph said. "Hunter is able to talk to his wolf, but for some reason his wolf won't come out, and to be honest I think our doctor is giving up on him. His family already did."

Kiana stared at Josiph saying nothing for several seconds, "What if I tried working with him?" Behind Josiph, Lucas and Steve questioned Kiana's request and worry showed in their eyes but Kiana ignored it, "I mean it really can't hurt can it?"

"No it can't." Josiph replied. "We could set up a day sometime this week if you would like. It could be a good thing to get another person's insight on the matter."

Kiana smiled, "That's what I was thinking."

"When Kiana works with Hunter, would it be alright if I accompany her?" Lucas asked.

Josiph turned to Lucas when he spoke, "No that isn't a problem. The doctor will probably want to be there though considering the two of you aren't even in the pack. I am sure he will want to make sure that Hunter will be alright in your care."

"That's not a problem." Lucas said. "With the doctor there maybe we can figure out what he has come up with about why Hunter is not able to transform but can talk to his wolf."

"Honestly if either of you can figure out why Hunter has not changed yet then I think the whole community will be shocked," Derek said speaking up for the first time since coming up the stairs. He had a smile on his face as he moved closer to Kiana.
