Werewolf Lance Stories

Chapter Five

When Allura looked at Lance with a solemn expression on her face, he knew that he was in for some bad news.

"You might as well spit it out now Allura," he said with a sigh. She nodded and brought up the holoscreens.

"We've been contacted by the leaders of the planet Draycott and they are requesting an alliance with us," she announced, sending the files to their separate consoles. They pulled up the pictures of the planet and looked back over to Allura with wide eyes.

"Are you fucking kidding me?" Lance groaned slumping back in his seat.

"Unfortunately not," Allura sighed, more than used to the language that the paladins used by now.

"What is even happening here?" Keith asked, his head tilting side to side like a confused puppy.

"Draycott's atmosphere keeps their sun and moon in the same position in orbit on several day cycles, unfortunately, we're going to be there during that particular cycle,"

"Can't we reschedule or something?" Lance asked.

"We're paladins of Voltron, we can't just reschedule," Shiro reasoned with an unhappy grimace. Lance pouted but didn't argue any further.

"Yes, also the leaders of Draycott insisted that we put a priority of their alliance over all other matters," Allura informed them with a frown.

"What? And we're going to go form an alliance with them?" Pidge asked wrinkling her nose.

"I know, trust me, but the Draycotts are a highly intelligent race and have been able to keep out of the Galra's hands since before Altea was destroyed, they could be a valuable asset to our mission,"

"Are you sure? It doesn't seem like they really want to help other people," Hunk asked, looking through his files.

"We're not completely obligated to form an alliance, we can leave at any time without it if they demand too much," Coran added. They agreed and started on their way to Draycott, within a single wormhole jump they could see the planet in the distance. With that Lance doubled over in his chair, his arms wrapped around his stomach.

"Lance? Are you okay?" Hunk asked looking over at his friend.

"Yup," he rasped. His hair parted as his wolf ears popped up on top of his head. He hurriedly tugged his pants down slightly as his tail began to appear. He was completely used to the transformation and it was much less painful than a full-moon transformation. After a few minutes of burning and aching shivers running through his body, he sat up straighter, sweat rolling down his forehead. His ears were pressed against the top of his head and his tail was twitching widely behind him. He startled when Hunk's hand came down on his shoulder.

"Are you alright?" Hunk asked again.

"Yup! I'm good!" He said cheerfully turning to look up at the worried paladin. He stretched his arms above his head and jumped up from his chair to pace around the room.

"Are you sure? Do we need to postpone our visit?" Shiro asked in concern. Lance's head whipped over to look at Shiro.

"What? No! No, we don't need to postpone, we can't," Lance argued shaking his head frantically.

"Unfortunately, Lance is right, the leaders probably have already detected the Castle in their system and are awaiting our arrival," Allura sighed looking at Shiro.

"Alright, lets suit up then," Shiro decided, they nodded and headed towards the hangers as Allura and Coran started to steer the Castle to land on Draycott.

Lance huffed annoyed as he pulled his body suit on, stuffing his tail uncomfortably tight against his skin. He pouted as he looked at his helmet, not excited to try and wedge it over his ears. With a sigh he pushed it on to his head, pressing his ears flat to his head. With a slight shudder, they felt the Castle landing on the ground beneath them and they made their way to the lift to meet the Alteans.
