Chương 3: Learning

I woke up to wolves liking my face I thought they were dogs at first. They are just way to big to be dogs. Happy I didn't pass out again as I wanted to get answers.

When I woke up I was in a wood cabin. I was offered water. They told me about thier identity as werewolves. It was only after they confirmed my story and checked my wound. I was shocked, I knew my arm wasn't gone, but it felt like it. It hurt so bad before, the day I spent wondering the woods I didn't feel it. I thought it was just the adrenaline keeping me going and numbing the pain. The wound is mostly healed, its not an open wound anymore. It has scabbed over, I can tell it's gonna leave a nasty scar. My hosts helped by cleaning my wound when I was passed put and woke up again.

After filling my stomach, it was time for training. I was told the werewolves aren't scary like I thought. With my training I finally saw, the shifting processs up close. They weren't that big, some were the same size as huskies. Most of them are just a little bigger than huskies. The Alpha I met was closer to a Great Dane. It took me many hours to figure out how to shift. My trainer was patient, but I saw his frustration build. After a while he was super annoyed, everything became sarcastic.

Being able to succeed in shifting, might have just been the moon. It was night and the moon was out, it wasn't a full moon. Any moon helps with shifting for wolves. Werewolves actually learn to shift on command. They do shift during full moons. Shifting was so painful. I learned afterwards to never shift while standing. For the first shift I had I felt my spin snap. You aren't supposed to be standing on two feet. It makes sense, then it doesn't again. I only get a little bigger than when I am on my hands and knees like a dog. When I see the others doing something similar, I understand why they're so much bigger. I feel like I am closer to a lab dog. Those guys got a bigger build than me.

I get on my knees to transform every time. It looks like others don't have to get all the way down, but close to the ground. They bend completely over in the same pose just above the ground. I guess I will have a new goal for later. Changing takes time, I am getting better at it. My teacher finally was happy with my progress. I am getting better at hunting, once I get good enough to be able to catch something most of the time. I thought I caught a few rabbits and ate them. I was wrong only catch wounded birds and rats. I thought it would be gross. I must of been hungry. I am used to it now, but the first time I was so hungry. I was drained physically from the first shifts and my emotions were hitting me. I cried a little bit before letting it sink in. I mean no one can blame me for balling my eyes out that night because my life was over and I thought I died when I was attacked. I mean extreme pain from my shoulder and being in the middle of no where.

It took some time, but I healed fast. I healed fast emotionally, being distracted learning things helped. I healed almost instantly. Besides the fast healing the only real difference was the strength and speed. I would have never picked being a werewolf though. If I had to it would be a vampire. I get it, don't want to burn in the sun. These hot summer days I feel the sun is over rated. Don't even get me started on the hair. That's the biggest downside right now. I am shedding like crazy, so hot and it's a mess. I feel like I could waste all day grooming and sweeping up hair.

I try my best not to turn, people started to make fun of me calling me a cat. All I seek to do all day is lay in the sun. I don't blame them I curl up like a cat in my dog form. I'm ashamed to say, but one time I tried to climb a tree, forgetting I was a dog. I try not to shuft these days. It is paying off as I am getting surprisingly tan.

I got bored fast as there isn't any TV or wi-fi out here, got no phone. I mean it's all exciting when you explore the territory and meet all types of new people. They're no cars or roads near by. No fast food place to go to missing a good cheese burger. Getting tired of this food.

I lay in the sun and gained the nickname and was caught trying to climb trees. I mean I realized I was not a cat, by why can bears climb trees. I don't get it there's monkeys, all sizes of cats and bears, and even lizards and squirrels get up there. Oh, squirrels, now I remember why I was so desperate to climb the trees. Wait one minute, got to cuss out this bird. It keeps making fun of me.

I don't know if it's because there's no phone or a dog thing. Oops, don't say anything I don't get it or care. Others will flip when they are called a dog instead of a wolf. I guess now that I think about it, it is an insult. Only an insult for the big alphas. Otherwise they need to get over it. I can't say stuff, because I am so small.

I know we are bigger and prettier than most dogs, well most of us. I'm not a big boy, these guys are big and make it worse. Why are these jacked guys working out trying to become muscle men. You see it too, you know they had muscles before. They're usually warriors or hunters keeping themselves busy and just building more muscle that way.

It's not good enough for them though, looks like they go to the gym everyday. Wait do we even have a gym? I need to check it out. So they either have normal equipment or made their own. Maybe both, I don't remember I got distracted. I used to cringe at guys in photos always having their shirts off. Okay wrong topic. I need to focus this time. Nope not happening, will look when they leave. I got a nice free view, can't complain.

Oh, fuck that made me horny and caused a new problem. Think about anything else. The only real thing I learned about wolves and dogs are that wolves can't be tamed. I mean I am going to keep testing that. You can't blame a girl from trying. I mean it's all there in my face, it's like they're teasing me. If they don't want me to look wear a shirt.
