I never imagined that I would be on the run from rogue werewolves.

I never imagined that I could actually be a werewolf myself.

It was a strange feeling, knowing there's been a beast inside of me this entire time that I haven't been able to access.

Was that the reason why I was allergic to silver?

The reason why it burned when in contact with my skin?

Dominic stayed by my side while we were inside the pack house. Everyone surrounded me, waiting for the moment of my first transformation. Dominic was certain that it was about to happen, but I wasn't. What if my wolf got stage fright? What if I got stage fright?

But then I felt something scratching underneath the surface.

A presence I had never experienced before.

It was a weak presence, barely there. I focused my attention on it, trying to tap into whatever was there.

However, I could never get close to it. It was as if something was blocking me out.

I stood there for minutes, probably looking stupid to the onlookers.

"Elaine, focus." Dominic whispered to me as he rubbed my back in a comforting gesture.

Him saying that did not help. In fact, it made it harder for me to focus because it sparked more anxiety from me. I just stood there staring at the ground with my mind racing. Why wasn't it happening? What if it wouldn't happen? What if they were wrong?

"I am going to force her shift." Dominic's father announced.

"No the hell you're not." Dominic immediately growled.

Garmon started walking towards me, and that prompted another growl from Dominic. I had absolutely no clue what was going on. Why was Dominic so angry? Forcing my shift? How could Garmon do that?

"Son, step aside." Garmon demanded.

"No. I won't let you hurt her." Dominic blocked me with his body.

"Hurt me?" I asked.

"It will only hurt a little-" Garmon started before Dominic interrupted.

"I won't let you hurt my mate at all!" Dominic shouted.

"It's necessary." Garmon retorted.

"It might not even work. You're not officially her Alpha." Dominic countered.

Their conversation confused me to no end. I hated that Dominic was making all of the decisions for me. This is my body, I should decide what happens to it. Even though I had no idea about what forcing my shift would entail, I made up my mind.

"Go ahead and do it, Mr. Kane." I push Dominic to the side and begin to walk towards Garmon.

"Elaine." Dominic growled.

I didn't look back at him. He was just being overprotective.

Though it was kind of endearing, it was also overbearing especially at this moment.

I trusted that Garmon knew what was best to do, so Dominic would just have to deal with it.

Once I was in front of Garmon, I waited for him to make the next move.

He stepped closer and made eye contact with me.

"Shift." He growled in a tone that blared through my head. It was so loud that I dropped to my knees, clutching my head. That's when the pain started.

It felt like every bone in my body was breaking.

Everything hurt and I could feel my body begin to change.

It felt like the pain lasted for hours, and when it was overwith, all I saw was black.

I could hear the murmur of voices around me that seemed to be in a panic, but I couldn't make out any words.

I felt so weak. I tried to move but my muscles wouldn't budge.

Why couldn't I see or move? Did something go wrong?

Hey Everyone! I'm sorry this part took so long to come out. When I first started this story, I was unemployed. However, now I have two jobs, so I have a lot on my plate. Ideally I'll be posting a new chapter every week, but please have some patience with me as I am very busy.

The next part will be in Dominic's point of view and I am very excited to share it with you guys!
