What She Means to Sky

Chapter 2- What Have You Done!?

 It had been a week after the day I let Naomi see me, that I had my first shift. In werewolf form our height had become a little out of control. We grew really, well, just really large. After my first shift my wolf was over 6 ft. tall on all fours. When I shifted back to human I was over 10 feet tall. I’m so thankful that it happened at night and Naomi was at her house instead of with me.

 I felt it coming and my dad forced me to go out into the backyard. Our 10 foot tall wrap around fence was able to conceal my figure from any of the neighbors. But our neighbors are all space a quarter mile apart or more. Since Naomi is about 4 houses down it is over a mile that she was to go to get to my house.

  It was excruciatingly painful that first night. Everyone in my body felt like it was being broken down and pulled apart. The growing of my bones was more painful than the breaking of them, if you can believe it. My skin and muscles grew too everything just stretched and grew and it felt like every inch of me was tense and tight. I felts like I was about to explode, until I finally did.

   Dark brown fur sprouted out of every pore on my body. I felt all the tense and tight muscles on my body relax as all of my bones clicked into place. The strangest thing was watching my snout emerge from my skull. It didn’t hurt too much just the pure shock of it freaked me out at first. When I was done I was left on all fours. My new paws looked more elongated than a regular wolf’s and my claws appeared a lot longer and sharper, not dull in the least.

  When I turned my head behind me to look at the rest of my body, I was amazed at the changes. My hind legs were ripped with strong muscles. My fur was pretty long and fluffy under my stomach and behind my limbs.

    After I’d summed up my new form it finally hit me. I was a wolf. Just ten minutes earlier I’d been an abnormally tall teenager but now I appeared to be a gigantic wolf . . . a werewolf.

 My dad said I’d still be able to control my mind and actions. The wolf just possess our bodies as a defense mechanism against the vampires, expect during a full moon at that time we have to stay in our wolf form all night and the wolf takes over almost entirely. That is what is scaring me, the thought that I might do something as a wolf that I’d really regret as a human.

   So that night I’d run off into the woods for hours until I started to feel a little fatigued. As I was heading back the most amazing sight I’d ever seen, came into view. More wolves. My pack, my brothers, they were coming towards me.

   I knew in an instant I could trust them, it didn’t matter that they were charging at me. I’ve come to realize that is the bond we share. Cress, Wyatt, Dane, Austen, Harland, and I are the only ones so far, we hope it stays that way. In the begging we could just sense each other’s emotions. And in that moment, when we all met for the first time, the emotion of excitement was overwhelming. 

   We needed an Alpha wolf. We knew that instantly. Along with the excitement we all felt a little lost. Without an Alpha to guide our pack our wolves start to fidget, they need someone to be the leader, the wolves need to know what to do and be controlled. 

   I recognized all the guys later, from around town. And although Cress is the oldest, my wolf was bigger and more powerful and power hungry, for that matter. They’d barley gotten within ten feet of me when my wolf took over completely it was terrifying. Some second I was smiling and excited to know I would be going through this alone and the next my wolf had invaded my brain, taking over my body. And he seemed pissed.

  The growls that erupted from somewhere deep in the back of my throat was even scaring me. My wolf stood up tall, strong, and confident, shot daggers at the new wolves and forced all of them to pay attention. I noticed that my wolf and I had to look down slightly at them. In that moment I knew I was the largest . . . that I was the Alpha.
