<span style="font-style: italic">"So hurrying home, and stressing wonâ€™t do you any good. How about this once we reach the forestâ€¦Iâ€™ll try to help you with your wolf the best I can." </span>Selena nodded but did not say anything and had to jog a little to catch up to him. When she was close to him he grabbed her hand again but this time to her for some reason it felt as though he was claiming possession of her. At that moment she could feel her wolf start to scratch at her insides and cloud her mind. She wanted Cody to let go of her but at the same time she wanted him to hold her close and tell her it was okay.<br/><br/>She knew though that the wolf would win this night no matter what and only hoped she was not too much trouble for Cody. They walked in utter silence but she felt like everything was too loud to her. Her senses became uncontrollably strong when the moon came close since she never tried to use them too much. She could hear every step that her and Cody took and hear the beating of his heart. Every movement of a branch caused by the wind along with small animals hiding under fallen leaves were all easy to hear. She had almost not noticed when Cody stopped walking and looked around in confusion for a second,<span style="font-style: italic">"Are you ready?"</span><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Ready?</span>What a foolish thing to ask her with her palms sweaty and her skin was sickly pale. She dreaded the day the moon would rise and force her to become an animal that she never understood and hated. She hated it but she didn't understand why she could not accept it like Cody had. She didn't know why deep down she feared and hated what she had become. She wrapped her arms around herself and nodded since there was nothing she could really do. The moon would rise whether she wanted it to or not but maybe this time it would be better with Cody around. She looked to him for guidance in a time like this and only prayed he could actually help her through this.<br/><br/>Soon the moon rose into the air as her eternal bane and enemy. Her weak smile was now completely gone as she watched the moon. It reflected in her eyes making them shine like that of an animals. Her heart was racing as she stared at that shining orb and he body started to change against her will. He nails became claws, her eyes were now a light green, her teeth sharpened to points, and her entire body trembled in pain and fear. Soon it was just too much for her as it always was and she found herself falling to her knees and letting out a pained cry. Tears started to drip from her eyes as the wolf tore her apart and forced her way free from her prison that was Selena's human form.<br/><br/>Light fur covered pale skin that matched the her hair and a muzzle grew out along with wolf ears. A snarl of anger and pain escaped that mouth as hands and feet turned into strong paws. A proud tail sprouted from her tail bone and when it was all over a wolf stood there panting with its eyes closed. It panted softly though soft growls escaped her form time to time.<br/><br/>When the pain recedes as it always did she stood up proud and strong. She was an alpha and carried herself like one at all times. This time when she had gained freedom she was very confused since it appeared that she was full for once and had no need for food at the moment. She had always woken up hungry and had to hunt but she also always had to be wary of another wolf that pursued her. She had chased him off every time but she had never managed to kill him yet. She surveyed the area she was in and was not surprised that it was a new place but what caught her off guard was a scent. It was a scent of another wolf who was also an alpha but her ears went back at she bared her teeth in warning, the scent also belonged to a male...
