Chapter 13

Jesse pov
Its almost time I feel achy and restless. Its like bugs are crawling all over me. Looking up I see the moon is almost at its peak. My skin feels like its pulling tight my bones feel like rubber. Dropping to the ground sweat is pouring off of me. Father is close by I can feel him as I do the rest of the pack. Pain shoots through me making me scream out in pain. I can smell my blood as my skin tears and rips away from me. My bones breaking and healing just to break again. My skin heals just to be ripped again. Dark hair starts poking through then goes away. This goes on for what feels like hours but I’m sure its only minutes. My body is shedding its human skin and bones making way for my wolf. Our bones are stronger than humans and so when the breaking goes from a snapping to a loud crack I know my bones are now that of my wolf. I am no longer a human I am a werewolf. Strong. Like Mary I will grow a in inches and unlike Mary I will develop muscles everywhere. I will be bigger than I was yesterday. Another reason I made sure to finish school before I turned 16. its hard to explain to a human how yesterday I was a skinny kid and now a well built man. Humans just don’t understand that. Mary being a she wolf kinda had it easy there. And its expected that one day she looks like a kid the next a women. And boy did she now.
Once the pain finally ended I was laying on my side panting. Thirsty I go to ask for some water but all that came out was a yep. Opening my eyes I can see every blade of grass. The dew drops clinging to them shining in the light of the moon. The land covered in the silver glow. Looking at my hands or well paws I see deep black fur. Standing or trying to stand I hear father “easy son take your time.” taking his words to heart I slowly stand. Looking around I notice everyone is looking at me in awe. Tilting my head looking around I hear father again. “how do you feel son?” searching for him but not being able to see him I think what were is he? I hear him laughing then it hits me its in my head “father?” I think again “awe there you are. Soon you will be able to link the whole pack it will take time to get it under control but you will.” I then hear Mary's voice “hes so big and beautiful” shes not talking to me but I can hear her as if she is standing next to me.
Soon I am jumping around getting a feel of my new form. This is amazing I feel so strong. “alright pack who is ready for a pack run around the border?” father asks with a loud whooping reply from the pack.
Soon I hear the sounds of the pack shifting . that's when I notice my wolf is bigger than most the wolves here the exception being father. He is bigger than me. But I am bigger than beta Micheal. A question saved for later as I feel the need to run. And that's what I do. i run until I cant anymore dropping to the ground panting breathing in all the smells of home.that's when I notice the trees around me have a slight smell of father on them or well in them. “father?” I reach out in my mind “yes?” “why do the trees smell like you?” “your at the border of our lands the scent lets other wolves know this is a pack border to cross is asking for death.” thinking it over it sounds reasonable.
Walking slowly back to the house Tim and tom catch up to me they each smell different but the same and also a hint of father as well. I have learned a lot about becoming alpha one day. When I take over all the wolves in the pack will smell like me a little as well. The border I had never thought of before so never asked. Well that teaches me to ask more questions or better yet I can write it all down in a journal so when I have a pup he can ready it and maybe get answers to questions that they hadn't thought of yet as well. Ill bring it up to father later for now I need to start training more shifting more so it no longer hurts to shift. And I have lots to do on the farm. Padding back to the house with a million thoughts in my head. Then it hits me my next big day will be when I turn 18 and find my mate. Just then I see Mary coming out of the house with a set of clothes for me. Shes so beautiful. I pray to the goddess to make this she wolf mine. I have been in love with her for years. Each day is harder to not pull her to me and steal a kiss. But I will not rob my mate or hers of that.
Taking my clothes in my mouth I link her thanks and head to shift back behind the house. Doing a quick wash to rid myself of all the mud and leaves . once dressed I head out to the field to watch the herd and check on the heifers still carrying calves. We have had a good birthing season so far. Adding 6 bulls and 12 heifers. castrating 4 of the bulls with the less desirable traits. They will be for meat while the two left intact bulls will be breed later on. Tagging the heard with different brands to identify the blood lines so we are not breeding mother to son and so on.
