Lauren Jauregui Imagines

Lone Alpha

Your POV

I hate this time of month! No not 'that' time Jeez! It's a full moon and I have to leave the girls to go run around in the forest and let my inner wolf loose only not by choice. She's restless enough as it is but when it gets closer to the full moon she really starts to wake up.

I get a lot angrier a lot quicker and can't help snapping, I eat more and more meat, I am more energetic and also more nervous. The girls don't know about this part of me, not many people do.

My family made me leave the pack when they found out I was gay and this was the same time I moved in with the girls. I'm a lone wolf. It's an interesting feeling, hunting on my own, fending for myself.... it's definitely not easy but neither is it hard.

I was meant to be alpha after my dad stepped down, from old age or death, but since I've been removed I'm now my own alpha. I could challenge my father but it means I'd have to hurt him or worse. Kill him.
Yes I hate him for what he did, for leaving me alone with no one to confide in or understand but I could never hurt him.

Another thing I noticed a while ago is that Lauren is my mate. Crazy right? We got to being friends and then obviously that escalated to be more, and after four months I realised she was my mate. My urge to protect her and mark her as mine was and is stronger than it has ever been for anyone.

I felt horrible that I hadn't told her about this part of me, that I hadn't told any of the girls that I was a beast. I couldn't stand the thought of losing them or of them getting in contact with a werewolf hunter. Yes they do exist, and they are fucking assholes, weak yet determined assholes.

"Hey Y/N/N! You wanna come watch x-factor with us?" Dinah asked me when she emerged from the Lounge and made her way over to the fridge.

"No thanks DJ, I'm getting ready to do my run anyways." I replied nonchalantly, she looked at me incredulously.

"Are you serious? Haven't you heard about the wild dogs running around the woods? They seem to be getting more and more aggressive toward anybody that goes in there. You can't honestly be going out there?" She rambled. I rolled my eyes and bent over to tie the laces of my shoes, thankful that I will be ridding myself of these clothes when I get out there.

"Yes Dinah I am. I'm not scared of some dogs and it's only aggression, they haven't hurt anyone and I doubt they will. I'm also meeting my cousin Kelli in an hour so don't worry I was stay with her tonight anyways or have you forgotten?" Not a complete lie. I know the pack won't hurt me but I'm not going to see or stay with my cousin. But anything to make her not worry is good for me.

"Oh yeah.... listen just be careful okay? I don't think Lauren would handle it very well if something happened to you. Fuck none of us would handle it well." She said running a hand through her hair. I smiled at her and wrapped my arms around her torso for a hug and kissed her cheek, something we do to comfort each other, guess it's just how close we are.

I made my way out the back door and into the night. I knew Dinah was watching me through the window so I set off on a steady jog out the back gate and into the woods towards my little alcove area to strip and turn.

I made it there in record time and began to take off my clothes, stashing them in the log I use to hide them and then got on my hands and knees, waiting for the pain. Normally when I change there is no pain because I willed the transformation but when I don't it's pure agony.

My bones started to snap and twist and shift. My entire body heaving to accommodate the changes, white fur starting to grow and soon enough, after a decent amount of screaming and sobbing on my end, the change was complete.
