Chapter 8: Growing Pains

The next day after school, Toby was lost in his own work. He was trying finish his report on wolves and his paper on Carpe diem. He looked out the window and sighed heavily feeling the wild calling him. It bugged him to have this bombardment of urges and instincts distracting him from his work. He took in a deep breath trying to compose himself before whimpered softly.

His mother poked her head into his room and saw him staring out the window. "Toby...you've been studying for almost three hours. You really should take a break" she advised him. She waddled inside while holding her gravid belly. Toby looked at her depressed disappointed in himself before she closed his laptop. "You can't neglect that wolf inside of you, Toby. It's more important than school right now"

"Haha! Toby's getting fully wooly!" Tommy shouted pointing at him.

Toby growled at him lowly and chased after him. "Get over here you turd!" he shouted as the little boy ran down the hall and out the door nearly taking out Zoe and Sasha in the process. Zoe pulled Sasha out of the way as Toby bolted after him.

Sasha was speechless as they ran down the driveway in mere seconds. "Oh my gosh! They're quick! Really quick! Are all the kids that fast?" she muttered.

"Heh, Yeah" she said before she walked inside. She took a step inside and looked around at the high ceilings and openness of the floor plan. "Wow, they have a real nice house! Everything is huge" she commented.

"Well duh, you've seen his dad" Zoe remarked.

Suddenly Tommy wedged himself between her and Zoe, and once again Zoe yanked Sasha back as Toby leaped over the couch and tackled his brother to the ground. He pinched the skin on the back of his neck and twisted it causing him to cry out in pain. "Ow, ow, ow!"

"Toby what are you doing? You're hurting him!" Sasha shouted.

Toby's parents entered the living room, which his mother came in to break them up. "Okay, enough! I don't want anything broken!" she raised her voice with her arms crossed over her chest while she stood next to her husband.

"Heh heh heh, pups. Hearing one screaming into submission is music to my years" Steele joked before he had his arm slapped by Lilian. She gave him a face before she gestured over towards Sasha. "Uh-oh..." he muttered.

Her jaw hit the floor watching him walk down the steps, and Zoe had a sadistic grin on her face. "Oh my god! He's as big as a mountain!" She shrieked with her hand covering her mouth.

"Just imagine Toby that size!" Zoe muttered.

"Welcome to my den. I know we've met, but allow me to formally introduce myself" Steele said as he reached the bottom of the steps. "I am Steele Wolfgang, the alpha of the Wy'east pack. It's so nice to meet you without being in my costume" he said looming over her.

Sasha gulped and blushed looking away too shy to say anything. She did not want to be caught ogling every muscle on his body, but she could not hide the stench of her arousal. Turning into her holstaur form did not help either. "Yup, this is Toby's girlfriend" Zoe announced.

Toby's father took a good look at her and chuckled to himself. "You know, she's turned into very attractive holstaur, and I'm not just saying that because I know about you being an O'Buachala" he said before he coughed.

Sasha stared at him with shock and horror as Toby and Zoe grew very curious. "O'Buachala?"

"Yup, Back when I was an Agent for SAM, I dated a holstaur named Brigid once. She was a member of a very old well established holstaur dairy company. They have a monopoly over the whole British Isles. I just so happened to come across the future Matriarch of the herd. Funny thing was she was only finding good breeding partners to set up for the herd. She kept me aside for herself" He explained before his wife started to become slightly irritated.

"She was a beautiful, smart, very ambitious woman, but unfortunately her family found out about us. They didn't want their prized daughter soiled by a dirty boche!" he finished.

"Weird...My Great-Grandmother's name is Brigid" Sasha mentioned.

Steele laughed. "Oh isn't that funny. Small world isn't it?" he said beginning to notice his wife's change in mood.

"Yea, but...if she's that same woman...would that make you super old?" Sasha asked.

Steele rubbed the back of his head. "I'm over a hundred years old. As you can see, I've been around" he said before his wife walked off in a huff. He gulped and turned towards her. "Honey? Where are you going?"

She gave him a cold icy stare. "I don't want to hear you brag about all the women you've slept with" she growled.

"But dear, you're the only woman for me!" He said trying to reassure her, but she kept walking and turned a corner.

"I don't want to hear it!" She shouted from the other room.

"Oh boy..." Steele muttered.

"Um...I'm sorry. I didn't mean to" Sasha mumbled.

"Nah,it nothing for you to worry about. I shot myself in the foot there. Haley mentioned to me yesterday that you're your Great-Grandmother was an O'Buachala...she didn't mention her first name. I was just excited that my son is dating her great-granddaughter" he said before he sighed heavily. "I wonder if she even remembers me?" he mumbled.

Sasha thought back on her Great-Grandmother's reaction to Toby and her explanation of what she'd do to a guy like him. "Oh, um...I'm pretty sure she'd remember someone like you" she said awkwardly.

"Um, dad? Do you think that her family would separate us if they found out about you being my father?" Toby asked.

"Feh, I wouldn't worry about that. I'm sure that I'm on good terms with the head of the herd" He said before he looked at Zoe curiously. "You planning on using my exercise room?"

"Nah! I was going to ask if Toby could come with us. Well she_really_wants him to come" Zoe said before she pointed back at Sasha.

Sasha squirmed and fumbled with her fingers. Steele grinned from ear to ear. "Well, I was getting tired of hearing Toby scratching to get let out so to speak" he said.

"What are you talking about?" Toby mumbled.

"Go outside and show Sasha around. She wants to go out on a date with you" his father said snickering to himself as he pointed down at Sasha.

Sasha looked up catching his meaty arm towering over her like a crane boom, and she rubbed her shoulder smiling uncomfortably. "Um, yea! I guess you can say that" Sasha said sheepishly.

Toby looked towards Zoe confused. "So Mountain Biking then?"

"I don't think she'll go that far. She had to walk her bike up your dad's mountain" Zoe said.

Toby looked at them oddly. "Well, what do we do then?"

"Oh! Do you know of any spooky places around here?" Sasha asked.

"Uh...Spooky? You're already at my place" Toby muttered looking towards his father for suggestions.

"Well, I know you all are werewolves and all, but I want a thrill, Toby. Your place doesn't seem to be that exciting during the day"

Zoe snickered. "Oh, don't worry, I know a place...It's more of a spooky campsite on Zigzag River" she said.

"How is it spooky? It's just a boring campsite" Toby muttered.

"Just trust me...If you're looking for a thrill I can give you one" Zoe said ominously.

"Great let's go!" Sasha shouted enthusiastically.

"But that's five miles away. Do you think she'll make it that far?" he asked.

"It's okay. That's actually kind of closer than I would have thought. It must be an ancient Indian burial ground" she said happily.

"But it's not even haunted!" Toby shouted.

Zoe jabbed him in the arm with him in the elbow. "Just shut up. I said I got it handled" she growled at him.

Sasha looked between them and snickered thinking this were something just for fun. "Come on Toby, will you do it for a Scooby Snack?" she teased, which he scowled at her intensely.

His father chuckled evilly. "What's wrong? You're not scared are you" he said before he nudged Sasha giving her a wink. "You kids have fun! I got to finish preparing for winter" His father told them before he headed outside into an external garage adjacent to the mansion. He was returning to his work replacing the caterpillar track on a snow mobile.

"Let me go get my bike, and I'll catch up with you" Toby said before his mother stopped him as Zoe and Sasha walked out the door.

"Take this" She told him as she opened the closet door and pulled out a backpack. "I got emergency rations and supplies. You take good care of her! She's not build like you or Zoe!" she lectured him.

Toby groaned as he reluctantly took the backpack from her. "Okay mom! I got it!" he grumbled.

"Don't be so uptight. She wants to spend time with you. It doesn't matter if it's spooky or not" She told him with a very happy smile.

"Uh, Okay?" He muttered before he strapped his backpack on. He walked out the door and his mother saw him off.

"I have a notebook in there with every first aid diagnosis and procedure! And wear a helmet!" His mother shouted at him.

"I know mom!" He shouted back as he went into the garage. His mother watched him anxiously as he rode off down the driveway. He pushed his bike to crazy speeds down the mountain, and when he got to the bottom, he whooshed past Zoe and Sasha at Sixty-five miles per hour.

"Holy crap!" Sasha muttered.

"Hey! Wait up!" Zoe shouted as she paddled faster.

Sasha tried to catch up, but the distance between them widened. "Hold on! Guys!" she hollered at them. When she got to the T-intersection, the only thing she could go by was the dust cloud rising up the recently disturbed dirt road. She continued on, and she finally caught up to them at a campground just before the highway. "Man, I thought I lost you two! Don't you know what brakes are?" she asked.

"Toby doesn't believe in breaks" Zoe joked.

"No, I just don't want to burn 'em out. Dad just put these new disc rotor brakes on them, and I want them to last. I've told you that already" he said.

Zoe rolled her eyes at him. "Your dad can afford it" she said skeptically.

As they rode their bikes through town a Clackamas County sheriff K-9 vehicle rolled up next to them. "Hey you two!" his voice boomed. Toby and Zoe both slammed on their brakes and Sasha screeched to a halt. "Were you two racing down Steele's mountain again? I thought I told you to knock it off!"

"No dad! Toby was just trying to catch up to us, and you know him" she said trying to put the blame on him.

Zoe's father stepped out of his squad car and walked up to them. He was a very tall white man who could have been mistaken for Tommy Lee Jones now with his beard shaved off. "I clocked you at seventy kid! This is the third time this week!" he spoke to him severely.

"But they raised the speed limit to 75" Toby retorted.

"Don't get smart with me! Do you see a freeway around here!? You're going to draw too much attention to yourself!" Her father screamed at him.

Toby growled lowly. "Yes, sir..." he muttered lowly he said with his head down low.

Her father looked towards her and crossed his arms over his chest. "Where are you kids going anyway?" he asked.

"Um, err...well...We were going to Zigzag Falls. Steele's already approved it" she said.

Her father looked towards Sasha uneasily, which she gulped. "Is Toby in trouble, Sheriff Cooper?" she asked getting up close to Toby touching his shoulder.

"Um, N-n-no...I just don't want my best friend's son getting hurt doing something stupid" he said before he reached in and clipped Toby's chinstrap on, and he turned towards Zoe. "That goes for you too! Ever since you two got fully wooly, you've been constantly giving me headaches!" he scolded them.

Zoe gasped. "But dad! I was trying to stop him!"

"You see this! When I have this badge on, you will address me as Sheriff Cooper or Sir! Understood!?" He scolded her as he pointed to his badge.

"Yes sir..." She muttered lowly.

Sasha thought she was next to get her butt chewed out when he glanced at her; however, he smiled at her. "It's a pleasure meeting you again, Sasha. Keep Toby out of trouble" he said.

Toby scowled at him taking it to offense, but Sasha laughed and nodded. "I'll have him on a tight leash" she said squeezing his arm.

"Good, Don't be out there too long. It's still a school night" Bernie said before he gave Toby a glare after hearing him grumble. Toby gulped and looked at him nervously. "You better get a hold of your powers and show some restraint! I don't care if you have accelerated healing. You're not invincible!" he said before he turned back to his squad car. He opened the door and stopped looking at Zoe specifically. "You be careful. Let me know if you come across Terry"

Zoe nodded quickly before he got into his car and drove off without saying anything else. Sasha looked over at Zoe worried. "What's going on with Terry?"

"He's ran away from home" Zoe said plainly.

"Why would he run away from home?"

"It's complicated...I rather not talk about it" Zoe said before she got onto her bike.

Sasha looked up at Toby and squeezed his arm again. "Do you know anything about this?" she asked lowly.

"He turned his girlfriend into a werewolf...he thinks they are going to arrest him" He explained.

"Is he going to be arrested?"

"I doubt it...not when it wasn't intentional...and also he's just a dumb pup" he said getting onto his bike.

"They wouldn't just let him think he could get away without any consequences would they?" Sasha asked as she followed suit.

"Are you kidding? Do you know who his father is? You saw him freak out on me for just coasting my bike down the road"

"I can see why he would run away...but still you were riding your bike too darn fast. Who are you James Dean?"

"Huh? What are you talking about? Who the hell is James Dean?" Toby muttered looking back at her.

"You don't know who he is?" She shouted before she peddled up to him quicker. "You know...he's like this super star back in the 1950s?" He shook his head. "Died in a car wreck?" He shook his head again. "Very close friends with Vampira?" He shook his head once more. " Looks like James Franco if he had blonde hair?" she asked.

Toby stared at her before her jaw dropped. "Are you serious? Do you know anything about the supernatural?" she shouted. He scowled at her and growled, which she giggled. "Oh I guess you don't care much for vampires, being a werewolf and all" she said.

He sighed and grumbled to himself. "Have you even met a real vampire?"

"Have you?" She asked before Toby looked ahead and did not answer peddling faster, which she smirked. "You have, haven't you?" she said trying to catch up to him. "Hey! Come on! No fair you've been holding out on me!" she whined not wanting to be withheld from such a big juicy story.

Zoe was waiting for them at a turn off from the main highway. They reached a sign saying "Barlow Road 1846". This road was windy and steep in some places and overgrown in others. The hairs on Sasha's back and neck started to stick up feeling uneasy. She rubbed her arms and instinctively got closer to Toby. "What is this place? Is this the old highway?" she asked.

"Sort of...it's actually part of the Oregon trail. A lot of people who couldn't afford to take the ferry down the Columbia risked everything taking Barlow Road. Many died on this stretch here coming over the pass" Toby explained.

"Oh gez, I can feel a lot of spirits here...they died violently here didn't they? You know they're souls can be still tied to the rocks?" Sasha asked. Toby did not say much, but Zoe smirked looking back at her getting satisfaction from her reaction.

"Sasha...We're going to a place where the Fur Trappers held their meetings...they still hold their meetings there on full moons" Zoe explained.

"Fur trappers? Full moon?" Sasha asked.

"Yea, my mom told me that long ago the only people here were the Natives and the Fur Trappers. Most of the fur trappers were...not human"

"You mean werewolves right?" Sasha asked.

"A lot of them were, yes" Zoe answered before she looked towards Toby. "The fur trappers and natives got along very well. Well, for the werewolf ones that is. My mom said that werewolves provided a lot of food and wealth, so a lot of the women married them. It also didn't hurt that they would never worry about cold feet again" she continued as they rode off the road down a spooky trail.

"Just look around...everything you see is werewolf hunting grounds. The folks who built this road never knew, or maybe they did" she said before she looked at her evilly. "There's a curfew around here so we can hunt. Anyone caught outside on a full moon is fair game" she said.

"No they're not!" Toby muttered.

"Toby doesn't know this but...before Oregon Country became part of the US, the werewolves used to work for the Hudson's Bay Company. You can imagine how quickly a wolf could get rich by doing what they do best. Well, to fight off Competition, and the Americans' manifest destiny, we got paid to scare them off and overhunt areas. Some took a liking to killing humans more. That's why so many people died here...and still do" She said.

Toby rolled his eyes at her, but Sasha was very worried. "Do they really eat humans? Or are you just messing with me?" she asked as her heart began to race.

"Well, you saw what happened with Penny. Humans are made of meat and there are a lot them around here. It all depends on the werewolf. You heard about the Donner Party didn't you?" Zoe asked.

Sasha gasped. "You mean..." she shrieked before Zoe nodded. "They were actually..."

"Well not all of them...It turned out that James Reed and his family were werewolves. They found out when they tried to kill him, and his wounds healed. No one knew his children werewolves, nor did they know that the children ate all the food. Had their father not been banished, he would have probably kept the party alive. Don't you find it extraordinary that he went back through the heavy snow for his kids knowing they would starve to death?" she went on.

"You're telling stories again!" Toby interrupted.

"Nope! It's all true! When push comes to shove, a werewolf will do anything to eat...and make sure his pups get to eat. Just think about that when the snows come and you hear his belly grumble" she said before she let out an overdramatic evil laugh.

"You know still though...I think it was sweet he came back for his wife and kids" she said before she looked up at Toby. "You all are pretty amazing fathers aren't you? Loyal to the end, huh?" she asked.

Toby blushed and looked away, and Zoe laughed at them. "Wow, is that all you took away from that?"

"Well, I heard, but I get it, you are the big bad scary monsters up in these parts. I've been around you long enough to know what you're all about. Do you know something? I like all things big and scary. I can't get enough of it. Everything you said makes me want him even more" she replied.

"Then we'll just see how much you really want him once I'm done with you" Zoe muttered under her breath.

Soon they got to the campsite, and Sasha began to look around. Toby sat down on a mossy rock and closed his eyes trying to meditate. "Wow! It's very pretty! Like I'm in a rain forest!" she said as she ran her fingers through the thick moss. She looked around the tree and laughed. "Hey! How do you know which why is North if the moss grows on all sides of the tree?"

"The position of the sun?" he muttered opening an eye on her.

Sasha walked over and sat beside him wanting to be close. She leaned up against him nudging her back into him to coax him to put an arm around her. "Oh, I see, um" she muttered trying to grasp at something to talk about. "Is your dad a cop too?"

Toby shook his head. "He's a Forest Ranger, but he's also does mountain rescue and ski patrol during the winter months. My mom will help with triage at the lodge when things get busy" he muttered.

"I like your cabin...you must be very wealthy"

He opened his eyes getting annoyed with the questions, and he felt his skin tingling and his bones starting to ache, but she started rubbing and groping his chest causing him to transform. "Um, yea...I guess you could say that. Though we like to save money anyway we can" He said before he murred laying back against the rock allowing her to give his belly a rub. "Oh gawd" he muttered going limp.

Sasha smiling at her werewolf boyfriend's eyes rolling to the back of his head. She took her phone out from her cleavage and started recording him. "Scratch, scratch, scratches for Toby" she muttered watching his leg stiffen and his foot started to wiggle. She giggled to herself. "Who's a good boy?" she said before she quietly stuffed her phone back into her shirt.

She looked over at Zoe tugging on a big stick wedged into a rock face. "So, what does your mom do, Zoe?" she asked while still keeping the big bad werewolf down in submission.

"Oh, well, my mom is a waitress. She's working up at the lodge now" Zoe replied before the stick snapped in half sending her stumbling back. She looked at the stick growling in frustration before she threw it into the river.

"You know, I've heard that Werewolves have big families. So, just how big is yours?" Sasha asked.

Zoe looked around for more things to challenge her strength with. "Oh yea...really big! I have ten siblings well eleven now. I have idiot brothers, and they give him something constantly to gripe about. If they are good, my dad will chew Toby's ass out for riding his bike too fast. Mom says he needs a vacation from his work. He's just always uptight all the time"

"I think he probably needs to get laid more" Sasha said.

Toby and Zoe both started laughing at Sasha's honesty. She then started to giggle at what she said and Zoe looked back at her grinning ear to ear. "I don't know...he didn't get eleven kids just by doing nothing with my mom"

"How many siblings do you have Toby?" Sasha asked while easing off on the belly rub.

He stretched and groaned stuck in a euphoric stupor. When he came to his senses, he stared into her adoring gaze, and he smiled faintly. "Uh, I have a brother and sister. My mom's going to have a son..."

"Are you the eldest?" Sasha interrupted.

"Yea...I am"

"So, just how big are your boobs?" Zoe asked.

Toby was getting really uncomfortable with the subject, and he at Zoe annoyed. "Really? Why are we talking about this?"

"I'm a 32 D...I think Double D now since I've become a holstaur and all. My bras don't fit anymore, and I just got new ones a month ago"

"Holy crap! And you're only fourteen?"

"Um yea...Mine started growing when I was eight...and they haven't stopped. I'm worried that they'll be as big as my mom's" she said.

"I wish I had boobs...I wear a 38 A" Zoe muttered feeling insufficient.

"Oh...well...I wish mine were smaller"

"Just how big were your mother's?"

"Oh, um, she had 42 triple Ks"

"Ouch"

"Yea, and don't get me started on the four back breakers my great-grandmother has, and she even has an exercise ball for udders"

"Oh dang...I guess you can always look into taking your family business" Zoe said. Sasha gave her an annoyed glare, and Zoe laughed at her. "Hey, don't get mad at me Mega Milk. At least you have something going for you. You won't be a fat house wife with no job. You'll be a prized cow who's the head of a huge lucrative cooperation" she said throwing her arms out emphasizing the huge part.

"I'm not a cow!" Sasha snapped.

"Psh, whatever!" Zoe huffed before she stomped off.

Toby sighed heavily and walked over the river to get a drink. Sasha followed behind him cutely and did the same before she looked over at him blushing as he scooped up water to his lips. "Um, Toby? Do you think I'd make a good girlfriend for you?" she asked. He stared at her with water dripping down his chin slowly, which she bit her lip as she touched his hand batting her eyes at him.

"Uh...um...heh, I think you would make a great girlfriend" Toby said as his heart started to race. She proceeded to lean in and give him a smooch. She transformed into her holstaur form pressing her bosom into his arm trying to draw his attention that she wanted to massage them. She mooed softly feeling her instincts take over her. She pushed him to the ground and straddled him while unclasping her bra. She put her bra aside before she took her shirt off for him giving him a tease. "These are only for you big bad" she said before he reached up felt one up. Her phone fell out from between her breasts and was now recording them unbeknownst to them.

She leaned in and started kissing him again before she started to reach down touching the massive tent in his pants biting her lip. "Um, do you want to have sex?" Toby asked.

Sasha blushed and nodded quickly before she leaned in. "Do you have a rubber on you?" she whispered into his ear.

He shook his head before she gulped already unbuttoning and unzipping his pants. "I have an idea...I know you might like it" she said before she turned around and leaned in. He could not see what she was doing, but what he felt was pleasant to say the least. He blushed at the sucking and slurping sounds as well as the mooing. Though he reached up giving her plump rump a feel, which her tail flicked tickling his chin with her tuft of hair.

She stopped briefly and looked at him with an endearing smile. "Does that feel good?" she asked timidly. He stared at her in amazement, but he soon nodded slowly. She licked her lips and turned back to resume the deed.

While they were caught off guard with their intimacy, they soon heard growling coming from behind them. There was a ferocious bark, and Sasha's head shot up quickly and looked up. "Toby! Werewolves!" she shouted. Toby could not see them, but Sasha saw three werewolves come out. There were two males larger than a bear with human torsos, arms, and upper legs. They had a wolf head, wolf tail, and wolf feet. Their hands were large padded and armed with sharp claws. Their fur was like a grey wolf, but there were subtle pattern differences that were hard to discern upon first glance.

There was a smaller female; however, she did not have a wolf head or feet, nor was she covered in very much fur. Her nose was black and disfigured, her eyes were yellow, and her ears pointed. She opened her mouth showing off her razor sharp carnivorous teeth, which she looked like an old timey werewolf almost.

"Enjoying yourself sucking a big fat werewolf pepper there little cow?" The big one said crossing his arms over his chest.

Sasha covered her chest with her arms and got off from him quickly. Toby stood up and stared at them coldly as he zipped up his pants. Sasha grabbed his arm and held on tightly using his back to hide her bare breasts. "Toby...is that Terry?" she whispered nervously. The werewolves advanced on them, and Sasha reached down for her shirt.

"What in the hell do you want, Terry!?" Toby shouted.

Terry chuckled to himself reverting enough to reveal his face. "Heh, I came to see if it was true that you've gone fully wooly" he said in a monstrous voice before they had them surrounded. "I want to know what the alpha's son has to offer" he said before the muscular female covered Sasha's mouth and yanked her away while the other male grabbed Toby and pulled him away from Sasha. Sasha ripped Toby's shirt, and Toby was thrown to the ground as the female werewolf held Sasha hostage.

"What the fuck are you doing Zoe!?" Toby shouted. He got up and the male put Toby in a full nelson. Toby growled squirming to get free. "Let me go, Hunter!"

"They are following my orders Toby!" Terry said.

Toby glared at him jerking his arms to get himself free. "You aren't the Alpha Terry!" he shouted before he looked over at Zoe. "He's not in charge of you!"

"I am the biggest werewolf here! They do what I say!" Terry said before he grabbed Toby's skull. "Too bad you haven't figured that out yet" he said. He started to apply a lot of force into his grip, and Toby snarled screaming out in pain. "I don't give a shit that you're his son either! You're just a waste of talent! I guess that's what you get when a werewolf fucks a human! Just a pathetic weak little whelp that hates the part of him makes him great!" he shouted.

Toby swung his leg up and kicked Terry in the gonads causing the mighty werewolf to yelp and whimper. "You son of a bitch!" he shouted as he released Toby. Zoe and Hunter started laughing at him, which he bared his teeth and snapped his jaws at them. "Stop laughing!" he shouted as he wallowed in pain.

"You are a fucking hypocrite Terry! Your father fucked a human, and look at how you turned out? I guess you hated the human part of you. I don't have to prove shit to you. After all you fucked Penny didn't you?" Toby said.

Terry growled grabbing Toby by the shirt yanking him from Hunter's grip and brutally ramming his up against a tree. "My mother is a thrall, Toby! Just like yours! I was talking about your piece of shit of a human grandmother of yours, and for your information, Penny was a werewolf even before I started fucking her!"

"So why you running then!?" Toby growled back.

"I'm not running!" Terry shouted before he whimpered looking off to the side. "I just needed to think" he said releasing Toby. He clenched his fist glaring down at the ground conflicted as what he should do. Toby fell onto his hands and knees feeling faint, and he reached up to his head hearing his heart beating in his ears and feeling it all over his body. His muscles throbbed and spasm, which Sasha gasped in horror.

He saw Zoe and the other males amused looks, and he growled at him. "Okay shut the fuck up! Stop trying to get in my head! Maybe you won't talk so tough when I drown your girlfriend!" he shouted.

"Don't you fucking touch her!" Toby shouted.

"What!? I'm not going to let you do that!" Zoe muttered.

"Then I'll drown you both!" Terry shouted before he grabbed both of them.

"I swear, if you harm them, I'll bash your skull into that boulder!" Toby shouted as his voice started to distort. He struggled to stand up, but his hands never left the ground. "Ah! Fuck! What's happening to me?" he whined as his muscles locked up.

"Terry, you aren't seriously going to bring her into this? What if Steele finds out? What is dad going to think? You're taking this too far" The Hunter said nervously.

"I have to do what I have to do! If he can't protect his own, then he's no wolf! Just a scared worthless runt" Terry shouted as he forced Zoe and Sasha to their knees. Zoe started clawing at him, and he had to release her. Toby felt a pain in his chest and started screaming.

Zoe turned to reach for a rock before she felt them suddenly get released then heard a loud thud followed by Terry gasping for breath. "What the fuck do you think you're doing!? This was not part of the plan! How dare you disobey my orders!" Bernie shouted. She looked back to see that her father had Terry pinned to the tree grabbing his throat. He was in a similar form as Zoe was, but a much more well-built physique.

"I was trying to show who was in control dad!" Terry forced out struggling to breathe.

Bernie released Terry and snarled at him. "You are not in control of this operation! Don't you dare turn your earpiece off on me again. Do you hear me? I am your superior, are we clear?" his voice boomed. Terry stayed still and said nothing, which his father rammed him up against the tree again. "I said, are we clear!?" he snarled. Terry nodded quickly before his father released him.

Terry slid down the tree like a wet noodle and looked down at the ground. "I in I didn't think you were stupid enough to get her involved! She wasn't briefed on this!" he shouted glancing over at Sasha curled up in a ball at the river side crying.

Zoe ran over to her side and started rubbing her back. "Sasha! I'm so sorry! I only invited you cause you liked scary things! I didn't think Terry was going to do what he did!" She apologized.

"I think I've seen enough" a voice came from behind. It was the tall gentleman with side burns, as he walked up to them with his cane. He went to Sasha's side and touched her back, and she looked up at him confused. "I'm sorry we put you through that mademoiselle. Are you okay?" he asked.

She sniveled and nodded slowly, but she looked over at Toby on his hands and knees clenching his fists tightly. "I'm okay, but something's wrong with Toby" she said with concern.

He looked back noticing Toby and sighed heavily. "I would have to say that his transformation is progressing farther in response from high stress. Will you help calm him down?"

Sasha nodded and got up. "Um who are you? What's going on?" she asked as she went to console her boyfriend.

"My name is Jean McLoughlin, I am one of the Elders in this pack. I was orchestrating a little experiment on Toby to evaluate his qualifications as a Gamma wolf. Normally Steele or a Beta like Bernie would oversee these, but since Bernie and Steele are close friends. I have to step in to remove any questions of nepotism" he told her.

"My feet are killing me!" Toby interrupted; however, his voice changed to that signature deep monstrous voice. He reached down only to see his shoes explode out as his feet grew big fat black pads stretching out his socks. Thick black claws poked through and Sasha looked at the fur growing on his back, and there was a lump in the back of his pants. She reached down and pulled out his wolf tail growing.

"I thought calming him down would make it stop?" Sasha asked.

"It doesn't...I just want you to keep him from murdering Terry. He should know better than to harm a loved one or simulate harm" Jean said.

She got onto her knees and hugged him. She was quiet for a while as she rubbed the fur on his arms. "How are you feeling?" she asked. He glanced over at her with his yellow eyes, which it was pretty jarring with how much bigger they have gotten coupled with how the white of his sclera was swallowed up by his growing blackened haw. The pinks in his eyelids and lips turned black as well along with the tip of his nose. She only smiled at him still finding him attractive.

"Like I wanna rip someone's head off" He answered still breathing heavily.

She continued to rub his back lovingly. "You look sexy though" she told him.

He laughed at her and got up. "Yea, well, at least one person likes it" he said before he picked up her phone and bra.

"Come on, it doesn't look that bad. You look like a real wolfman now" She said as she took her bra and phone from him. She gave him a smooch and realized it was recording. She turned it off quietly and said nothing about it. "Oh um...since our phones don't work out here, do you have skype or something? I wanna way to get a hold of you when I...need some of your company" she asked while tracing circles into his chest as she quietly stowed her phone away. "I think you know by now that I'm a big cuddle monster" she said giving him a wink as to what her username was.
