Ashton's P.O.V

I don't remember what happened after the Alpha had given me the chance to be human. I don't even remember giving him my answer, but when I woke up in the dark, shivering; I figured he gave me the chance to find love.

I couldn't be more grateful.

I also couldn't be more cold that I was now.

I looked down at my new human hands. They were very strange and the digits on the inside of them were something I never had as a wolf. 

Also as a wolf, I walked on all fours, but humans only walked on two. I tried standing up, but I quickly became unstable and fell over.

That was when I realized I was naked. I mean, I always was, but as a wolf, I had fur to cover everything up; as a human, the hair was much thinner and very revealing. 

I tried to stand up again, this time grabbing hold of the tree next to me. I was a little shaky, but I was standing. I carefully put one foot in front of the other and walked forward.  As I slowly walked, joy filled me as I grinned.

Maybe I could do this after all.

I slowly made my way towards where the hu- where the rest of the humans were. Well, where I thought they were.

As a wolf, I had an instinctual awareness of which direction I was headed. Now, as a human, I felt as though I was lost in a large body of water. I didn't like it one bit.

I was about to give up my search when all of a sudden I saw a faint light shining through the trees. As I picked up my pace, I noticed it was getting colder as time went on. I wish I had something to cover up with.

I finally made it to where that blonde boy and the rest of his pack lived. Maybe he could help me, maybe he could be the one I fall for. He probably wouldn't return the feelings though.

I looked up to where he slept. The light I saw was coming from the see-through yet reflective hole that was in the wall.

I never needed to get his attention any of the times I sat at the edge of the woods observing them, so I was unsure on how to now. I looked around and saw a small rock. I tried picking it up, but I wasn't very skilled in using my new hands.

I gave up with a sigh. The hole in the wall was too far up for me to reach, so I decided to just wait for him to come outside. I wasn't sure what to do while I waited, so I just decided to sit down on the thing I was him sitting on earlier.    

When my bum touched the cold surface, I let out a yelp. I immediately leapt off, which caused me to loose my balance and fall onto the cold and wet grass. 

Instead of getting up, I just curled into a ball and whimpered. I was freezing cold and for the first time, I wished I was a wolf again.

Luke's P.O.V (SURPRISE!! No? ...... I'll go home now)

It was Friday night/early Saturday morning when I heard a yell from the backyard.

I set my charcoal pencil down next to my next drawing and walked over to my window. At first, I didn't see anything so I thought I was just tired and hearing things, but then I noticed a pale figure on the ground. 

My eyes widened when I realized it was a person. I quickly yet quietly put some shoes on, grabbed an extra wool blanket off my bed, and set out some extra clothes that hopefully fit the person.

I snuck out of my room and made my way downstairs. I tried not to make any noise otherwise my parents would kill me. Luckily for me, they're heavy sleepers and Ben and Jack aren't home.  

When I got to the back door I noticed how violently the person was shivering. I quickly opened the door and raced across the porch and down to the grass where they were laying.

I got onto my knees and put the blanket over their naked body. It was definitely a boy because of the broad shoulders and tons of muscles; that I may or may not be swooning over. He whimpered and curled tighter into a ball. 

"Hey, let me get you inside. You must be freezing. I've got some warm clothes for you inside that you can change into." I told the boy quietly.

He opened his eyes and jumped back with a shout when he saw me. My eyes widened as I lurched forwards and put my hand over his mouth to silence him.

"Shhh!  My parents would kill me if they woke up to find their son outside with an extremely attract- uh, an extremely naked boy." I explained to him as an unwelcome blush spread across my face. 

He looked terrified which resulted in me taking my hand away and stepping back. 

"I'm sorry. Look, I don't want you to get pneumonia or something, so can I just please get you inside? We can talk in my room if you want, but you have to be silent, okay?"

He still looked like a deer in headlights, but he slowly nodded. I raised my hands to show that I wasn't going to hurt him and reached towards him to help him up. I felt a slight deja-vu about the moment, but I wasn't sure why. 

He watched me closely as I helped him up onto the porch and towards the door. He was slightly unsteady on his feet so I held him up so he wouldn't fall. Maybe he was drunk and somebody dared him to streak down the street? Nah, he looked to alarmed with his surrounds for that.

I led him inside and we made our way to the stairs. He was still shivering so I made a mental note to get him some coffee or something else warm. It seemed like he was struggling with the stairs so I slowed down, not wanting to rush him. We eventually made it to my room and I let out my breath that I didn't realize I was holding. 

I grabbed the extra clothes that I laid out on the bed and held them out for him.

"Here, you can change into these while I get you something to drink. Just try not to be too loud, my parents are sleeping right down the hall." I whispered to him. He only nodded and took the clothes from me. I stopped to see if he needed anything, but he just stood there looking at me, waiting for me to leave. 

"Right," I said to myself as I walked out the door and closed it behind me. 

As I made my way downstairs and to the kitchen, I began to think.

Who was this boy? Where did he come from? Why was he laying in my backyard at 2 in the morning? Why was he naked in 15-degree weather? And probably most importantly:

Why did he look and feel so familiar?
