Alpha Beta Omega?

I'm going to try to put forest/wolf related songs in the media every chapter.

The chains around my feet are really itchy. I can't even scratch myself because the chains prevent me from changing back into my human form. They sometimes forget to free me so I have to stay wolf for the whole night... I've grown quite used to it now though. Sometimes I'm scared I'm more animal than human. I guess that's because I've always been treated like one. I might have a part wolf in me but that part seems to become bigger and bigger. I'm terrified I'll one day not be able to turn back to my human form. Ridiculous right?

So long story short, they forgot to unchain me again tonight. Great. I'm stuck in the corner like always. What a surprise... I drop down onto the dirty floor, push my paws in front of me and stick my head between them. I huff loudly, my nose being itchy from the million dust specks floating around in the musty shed. The full moon let its light fall through the open cracks in the wooden ceiling. The soft glow often calms me down, reminding me of positive thoughts, even though there aren't many. I bathe in the soft glow, my white fur glistening in the dark shed. I suppress a howl working its way up my throat. A sick feeling settles in the pit of my stomach. Melancholy. That's what it is.

I press my eyes shut, hoping that tomorrow holds a little more hope for me.

A loud growl invades my peaceful dreams and rips them apart. I slowly open my eyes, disappointed to see that the moonlight faded away by the hours. Another dangerous growl sounds from outside snapping me fully awake. Glass shatters, people scream, scary howling fills the silence in between. I quickly shuffle further into the corner pressing myself against the wooden planks. My ears perk up when I pick up footsteps circling around the shed. They suddenly stop at the locked door. I make myself as small as possible when the door handle starts shaking.

They can't get in. They can't get in. They can't get in. They can't get-

The door gets ripped from its hinges and thrown somewhere outside. I shrink back, scared of the sudden force and sound. The air gets stuck in my throat as I see the broad figure of a man in the doorway.

"What the-", the low voice starts," Hey dude, come here for a sec".

A sickening crack follows and then another man joins his side. I can't see either of their faces because of the darkness, but I can tell from the way that they're built that they're strong.

"That dude said he only had a dog right?", one asks the other.

"Yeah, but this isn't a dog at all", the other points out.

A short silence follows, my eyes are stuck on their dark figures, watching their every move. Why are they so silent all of a sudden? How do they know I'm not a dog? Where are my owners? I'm so helpless at the moment and I can't even ask them something.

"Is he like us?"

...Like us...? My heart almost leaps out of my chest! Are they werewolves too!? That'd be great! But why do I feel like they are staring at me evilly. This doesn't seem right.

I was often called oblivious and naïve by the family. And yeah, maybe it's true. But I can tell when I'm being attacked or unsafe, which is the case now.

"I think so", the other says in thought after a few seconds. He carefully takes a few steps closer and I unconsciously push myself even more against the wall. At this point I probably look like a fluff ball squished against the wooden planks. "His scent is strong", the guy still in the doorway points out and I swear he licks his lips in the progress. What a creep.

"Let me try something", the man's figure is now looming over me, "Sit!"

I immediately let myself drop down on my butt. I didn't even have to think about it.
