Unfated

Chapter 1

{Andre's pov}

We were in school when this happened. We were already in junior college and I was a mature wolf, ready to find it's soulmate. But I was young, I was not fully aware of the rules of being a werewolf, what were the to-dos, not-to-dos, implications, all those legends that unfortunately were true. And it happened the right after the day I transformed. I could not be blamed...right?

I clutched my bag and walked through the noisy corridor to the track where it was usually empty, about to do my normal routine: running around the track for 20 rounds. It was my usual morning practice, another reasons thought, was the fact that I could feel at least a ton more new muscles that I was dieing to try! I could just imagine myself joining the olympics and running past Bolt in the track events, clutching a camera in my hand and taking an award-winning picture of Bolt's expression. Technically though, it was impossible. I bet the blood test the authorities conducts on me would prove to be extremely puzzling. Then again, the memories of how I got my new muscles came flashing before my eyes, so vivid in my mind, it was like watching a 4-dimension movie...

It was a rainy, cloudy and dark Sunday. My body was aching very badly from what I thought then was the intensive track training I just had on Saturday. Ever since I woke up, I have been cooped up in my bed, wrapping the blankets tightly oer myself. I was so cold, yet I felt so warm. I needed the fan, yet I was shivering as well. I was sweating, whether its cold sweat or not, I don't know. I felt like I caught a damn flu together with having extreme muscle aches which I hae never gotten before. At aroung 3 pm, I start trembling really badly. Soon enough my parents noticed my absence and came up to my room, only to see me in a pathetic state, lying in bed with the blankets around me, sweating and shivering. "Oh dear!" Was all I heard from my mom before they got me off the bed and despite my protests, forced me into the car and drove me to a nearby forest where there was hardly anyone. Then, they helped me futher into the forest. I remembered thinking that they must have been bonkers and shouting at them to stop and bring me to the hospital. But they insisted, all the while whispering words to console me. "It's all right, you are going to be fine. "

When they finally reached their destination, I was trembling a lot and the ache started turning into pain. It felt as if my bones were being stretched forcefully, my skin, my hands, my muscles felt like I have been working them for life without resting. The feeling was mutual throughout my body. Then I saw my parents do something that left my jaw dropping. They transformed. I saw their skin sprout fur, them growing taller, their nails replaced by claws. Their jaws are widening, their eyes changing, their face, their limbs, their skin, and soon, they have transformed into a wolf, a most gigantic wolf, bigger than any normal wolf I have ever seen or known. Soon enough, the pain stopped, but the trembling continued, only, I was transforming too. Transforming into the wolf. Surprisingly, the transformation was not painful, everything was happening slowly, like it was for me to see clearly, to be able to remember every detail.

It started with the sprouting of fur, then my limbs started become longer and curving, soon I could not even see my skin through the thick coat. I could feel my jaws shifting, protuding outwards, my teeth growing and becoming sharper than ever. I looked at my fingers and toes as I see claws extending out of them. I had transformed into a wolf. What was once my hands were now my front paws. I dug deep into the soil beneath me and walked for a bit. It felt natural, at the same time different. Immediately I could feel my sense heightened. The forest was not just full of green, there were animals all over, be it a beetle at the biggest leaf of a tree about 200 metres from where I was, or the deer even further away, 5oo metres away standing behind a really tall bush, silently observing, afraid to even move a muscle for fear of alerting the three massive predators that now stand in its home.
