Chapter 2: Chapter 1

"...." - conversations

Waking up, I saw an unfamiliar ceiling. I looked around and saw I was on a bed, small and looking like those military bunk beds. There were several other similar beds in the room, though no occupants. It looks like I am alone; that's good. Don't want anybody to notice anything weird.

Before I could get off the bed, a sudden, sharp headache hit my brain like a truck. And with it came an influx of the last four years of memory this body experienced. It turns out I was in an orphanage in New York. My name is Lucien; no official last name so far, and I just recently got an offer for adoption. It's from a young, successful woman who looked in her twenties. Apparently she saw me as she was passing by and something just clicked for her. Not that I'm complaining.

I got up from bed and looked at my nightstand and on it was a letter addressed to me. I opened it and read the writing.

"Hey young one, its Eldris; I just wanted to make sure everything went well with your situation. Also, as a bit of help, I'm getting you adopted by a nice, young woman; her name's Amara. She'll take care of you, so don't worry to much. Your second and third wishes are already active so you can start preparing for your shifting when it first happens later on. Anyway, enjoy your new life.

your loving ROB, Eldris."

I chuckled reading the letter; he is nice after all. 'Thanks Eldris.' I thought standing up and heading to the mirror in the room as I stretched. In the reflection stood a cute four-year-old with amazing soft blue eyes that were calming to look at, with short, flowing black hair that highlighted my face perfectly. I am pretty sure I'll look splendidly handsome when I'm older; now I just look like a cute kid that every older woman just wants to pinch my cheeks. {yes, my narcissistic side is winning}.

With that came a knock on the door as the matron/caretaker of the orphanage, Lily, came in.

"Hey, Lucien, are you ready to go? Amara is here for you." she said lovingly.

Lily is an amazing caretaker who loves all the kids she takes care of here in the orphanage. Even if my body was on autopilot these past few years, my enhanced brain still remembers everything clearly. So I can confidently say she is good. The meeting with Amara was yesterday, where she agreed to pick me up today so I can move in with her. So my things were packed, however few they were.

Shortly after, I followed Lily to the door of the orphanage where Amara was waiting. There stood a beautiful 5'8" tall woman with soft auburn-colored hair. She had deep brown eyes that complimented her hair. She greeted me enthusiastically when she saw me approaching and her energy was contagious.

After some heartfelt goodbyes with the caretaker, we got into her car, which was a red 1999 Mazda MX-5 Miata. And judging by its well-kept appearance and almost new look, it seemed she was well off.

During the ride to her apartment, she kept asking some light questions in order to get to know me better. So I cooperated and, in turn, asked her some as well. By the time we reached her apartment, the awkward air around us had essentially disappeared.

Her apartment was three-bedroomed with an open kitchen and dining room. It also had some nice views of the city.

Settling into my room, which was already furnished, Amara came by, and you could see she was a bit nervous.

"Hey, what's got you all nervous?" I asked lightly

"Nothing, just wanted to ask you something," she replied

"Sure, fire away." I replied. "Would you like to take my surname?" she asked nervously.

I chuckled at her nervous demeanor as I compared her current self to the confident woman on the drive here. Though I get it, I would be nervous too.

"Yeah, I would like that very much." I replied, smiling. "Great, welcome to the family, Lucien Frost," she said happily.

===========

The next nine years flew by rapidly, though with some changes occurring. First, with my enhanced learning capabilities and genius intellect, I studied stocks and invested in various upcoming companies such as Google, Amazon, Apple, and several others. Through that, our net worth rose sharply to several billions. I also improved the living standards of the orphanage and setup some benefits for the future such as college funds etc. I also got shares in various automobile companies such as Ford, Mazda, Ferrari, Aston Martin, VW, and others.

In my former life, I was a car enthusiast, so I was able to redesign some of the upcoming models and sell those designs to the companies. This increased their sales, which in turn made our investment profitable and increased our net worth even further.

I also studied programming and other subjects that caught my attention since it was easy for me. With my adaptive physique, I also exercised and practiced martial arts extensively, which only boosted my growth since I basically always adapt to the perfect form. At thirteen, I was already 5'11'' with an impressive lean and well-chiseled muscles that made me look amazing.

We also moved to a more secluded area with a large compound that was away from the city. I also bought some land in Beacon Hills and already started construction early on in preparation for the future.

Now all that was left was my first wish, which would be fulfilled in a couple of minutes since I'm officially turning 13. I was in the basement, and I made sure Amara was away, even though I knew I would be in full control. I didn't want anything unexpected to happen with my first shift.

I looked up at the clock as it passed midnight, then closed my eyes, waiting for the pain to come. Then it happened, but not as I expected. First came a sudden warmth that quickly spread through my body as if it were washing it in preparation. Then came the first change.

I felt a primal energy that manifested at the back of my mind, but it was more of a metaphysical feeling. It was more in my soul, and I'm saying that with experience from my soul-bound journey before reincarnation. Then it transformed, shaping itself until what emerged was a big, majestic golden tiger with silver-black stripes and searing golden reddish eyes and sharp long fangs.

As I looked at it and it seemed to look back at me, I felt an instant connection that quickly formed with my soul and, in a magical way, completely bonded us together. Now I knew I was the tiger, and the tiger was me. With the connection came all the knowledge I needed about my new side.

So like a good old chap, I triggered the transformation. What came first was the teen wolf form. I felt my face tighten as new muscles formed on my face and transformed it. I felt my nose change and become more cat-like, and with it came some whiskers. Next was my mouth elongating slightly as new canines formed, and boy were they sharp. I could also feel some fur sprouting on my side burns and a little over my eyes as the muscles shaped themselves there.

My ears grew sharper along with the muscles. Then came the eyes. I felt them change as my vision went through a transformation as it changed from the normal colored one to a new red vision, and with it came an expansion of the peripheral vision. I could now almost see 270 degrees around me with hardly any blind spots. Then came the claws that started elongating as the structure of my hands changed. They were deep black and sharp as hell.

Instinctively, I also felt something from them as well as my fangs; they had a venom that I could release on control. The venom inhibits healing as well as having the chance to paralyze if enough of it is released. The paralysis wasn't as strong as that of a kanima, but it was still useful. Apart from those major changes, I felt there was nothing much different from the normal teen wolf transformation.

With this form, I was faster and stronger than most alphas. At least that's what I felt from my instincts. With that done, I triggered the next transformation, and this one was certainly painful. I felt my bones snap as they started to reshape. My height grew from 5'11" to 8' easily. Next came the muscles that started piling up on my body.

I felt my skin itch and rip as fur grew all over my body. At the same time, my face started restructuring as it changed to suit my tiger form. My ears disappeared from the side of my face and moved on to the top of my head. My claws grew longer and sharper as my hands changed as well, now having some padding almost like a cat's. My feet were even more cat-like now having padding that practically reduced noise to zero. Now I was a perfect hunter.

With those changes, I felt my senses flare up exponentially as I sensed my surroundings. I could smell the trees that were a mile away from our house. I could hear our neighbor in their room asleep as well as the sound of a car on the freeway a mile and a half away. My sight even in the dim basement was even crazier than I thought; I could see the particles of the paint on the walls, even an ant as it moved in the corner. All this with such clarity, I felt like my eyes were telescopes.

The fur on my body increased my senses to the point where I could feel any changes in the air. It was honestly amazing. Carefully as I adjusted to the changes in my body, I moved to the mirror I had brought down here beforehand. There I saw the changes. My fur was a golden color with some white accents on the front, and my stripes were a silver-black color. As I turned around, I saw my tail that was long as it swung subconsciously. I could easily control it however I wanted, so that was a plus for me.

My eyes were an intense golden red that shone brightly, though I felt that I could instinctively dim them if I wanted. By the time I was done admiring myself, my adaptability had already kicked in, and now I could perfectly control myself.

Now for the final form. I went down on all fours as I prepared, knowing how big my final form was as I had already modified the basement so that it could accommodate me, though barely. I also did the same for my house in beacon hills.

So the shift started. My bones broke and reshaped themselves as my form changed to that of a tiger's. The density of my bones also increased to accommodate the change. My face completely changed to that of a tiger. As the shifting continued my adaptability started kicking in and I felt that my bones completely change and now even in human form they were denser, stronger and wouldn't impact my weight as I could now freely control it.

After a few minutes the shift was completed and I could only turn my head to the mirror as I was to large to fully stand in my full form. My fur was the same golden color with silver-black stripes. But something interesting was that there were lines on my fur that were glowing almost like a fire trying to break out. {Like in the Auxiliary chapter}

My eyes were still a searing golden red. Now I wanted to try resizing myself as although this form was cool it was still unconventional at the moment. On instinct I imagined myself shrinking and the change began immediately. I shrunk untill I was the normal size of a tiger and I knew I could change the size from the normal tiger size to the ten foot tall size.

I moved around and got used to my form easily, then I shifted back and forth from my human form to the full tiger form till it became as quick as I wanted. When I was done, I changed back and put on my clothes as the rest of the information concerning my powers came to me.

They were:

1.Enhanced physical capabilities- I was far stronger than even a true alpha easily able to lift and throw up to 30 tons and I was faster as well, making it seem like a blur to most supernaturals.

2.Extreme enhanced senses- my senses were so strong that my hearing on fullblast could cover a town like beacon hills easily. The same goes for smell and sight. I also have night vision and thermal vision.

3. Shadow Phase-which allows me to merge with shadows for stealth, movement and brief intangibility which when trained can make it so that I can be intangibly for as long as I need and can pass through walls.

4. Territory control-this would allow me to mark and claim a territory where I can sense intruders, influence the emotions of those within, intimidate and even suppress anyone weaker than me within.

5. Venomous claws and teeth- I can freely release a venom that inhibits healing and have a chance to paralyze if enough is injected.

6. Uniqueness - as I am the only one of my kind, I am the progenitor. No one can steal my power and I can create others and limit what transformation they would have. I can make them have only one or two of my transformation. Though they would never be strong as I am.

7.Roar of domination- my roar can control anyone in my streak/pack.

8. Extreme healing factor - my healing is almost on par with wolverine's.

9. Camouflage and stealth- I can perfectly hide my scent and presence from anyone. I can also freely camouflage into the environment and move without making any sound even in my human form.

10. Elemental affinity- I can control both lightning and earth, though I have to practice this.

11. Total body control- I am extremely flexibly and can control any part of my body. I also have extreme balance and can easily adjust my weight.

12. Life mark - this mark can be used on anyone I deem important and can sense when they are in distress or communicate with them telepathically.

Those were my abilities, though I had a sneaking sense that my adaptability could do alot more. Guess I have to test it. I want to see if I could gain immunity to mountain ash and other things. Thats for later. Looking at the basement, I knew I had to tell Amara the truth sooner or later, afterall what sort of explanation could I come up with for the large scratch marks that were several inches thick into the concrete. So I decided to do that in the morning, for now I wanted sleep.

==========

The next day went as expected with the birthday celebrations and finally in the evening when we were alone I told her everything about my abilities and offered her the bite. Of course she freaked out when I finally shifted infront of her when she didn't believe me. And for a couple of days we didn't talk properly until she came to terms with everything.

She accepted the bite though I limited her transformations to the first two. Her tiger form was a brownish-red tiger that matched her hair and it was beautiful. The bite also made her younger, now she looked in her twenties again,though you couldn't really tell before as she always looked good. Honestly I don't think I will be giving the second and third forms to others apart from those really close to me, cause I don't think there will be a need as the first transformation/form makes them as strong as normal alphas.

So for the next three years Amara and I trained to control our abilities, though it was mostly for her. She also took up some martial arts due to the benefits that came with the powers. This was all to pass the time before we moved to beacon hills.

And soon enough were were getting ready to move having already made the necessary preparations. I was now 16-years-old and standing at 6'3"(190 cm) with an even better body due to the added perks of being a weretiger and all the exercises.

Hope the next part will be exciting.

A/T: Hey guys, sorry for the late update. Been working on the chapter and the others for the future. I'm also a bit busy but will try to keep updating as often as possible.

Also what are your thoughts on whether I should save Laura or not. And who would you like the love interests to be? And how many? Or should it be an OC?

You can also pass on any suggestions you have or if you'd like to add something to the story or powers and I will consider it and if I like it I will add it.

I'll try to keep it to canon but will change a couple things here and there.

Till the next update!!
