Alex was lost in his own admiration for her, so much so that he didn’t realize Beth was now staring at him too.

He cleared his throat abruptly before getting back on his feet, “I have to leave now. I need to attend to something, enjoy the rest of your day in the garden.”

Alex excused himself to save the situation at hand before he will do the unimaginable.

As the day passes, Alex and Beth got closer. Alex helps her watch over her baby anytime he is free, both have also grown very comfortable with each other.

Beth was almost asleep later that night when she heard a knock at her door.

“Who is it?”

“It’s me, Alex.”

She wondered what he could possibly wants at that time, it f*****g late already.

“Alex, is that you?” She asked again just to be sure.

“Yes, it’s me. Please open up,” Alex urged.

Beth unlocked the door and Alex came into view, he noticed she was dressed for bed already and wondered if he had disturb her sleep

“Seem I came at the wrong time?” Alex asked as Beth fell back on the bed.

“I was about to sleep, why did you visit my room at this time of the night? If it is something you want to discuss with me, we can just discuss it tomorrow. I need to catch some sleep.” Beth said yawning and Alex sighed.

“I’m sorry, you will have to sleep later but for now, we have to go somewhere.”

Her eyes narrowed, “You mean right now?”

Alex nodded.

“Where are we going to?” Beth asked, the sleep cleared from her eye already.

“It’s better you see things for yourself by the time we get there.”

“Alex, you’re difficult to understand at times,” Beth complained.

“Just change into another outfit, and grab extra pair of clothes because you are going to need it just in case, I would be outside your door waiting for you,” Alex said and walked out.

Beth had no reason to be scared, she trusts Alex so much and she knows he won’t try to harm her.

She grab her leggings and Asher’s black T-shirt from the wardrobe and threw it on as well before stuffing another pair in the back pack she was taking along with her.

Once she was done, She picked up her baby and had him strapped against her chest carefully so he doesn’t wake up.

Alex walked back in and grab the bag from her and she let out a deep breath.

“Why are we doing this again?” Beth asked curiously

“Because we have to. You don’t need to be scared, it’s nothing serious.” Alex assured her.

“It’s nothing serious and you made me abandon my sweet sleep to follow you to only God knows where. Why can’t we just go tomorrow?”

“We are going tonight and that is final, let’s go,” Alex said and pulled her by the arms.

Beth grumbled under her breath as she allowed herself be dragged out the door.

They made it outside and only then was she able to see the moon that was shining up in the sky. It was a full moon and sounds of howl could be heard from a distance.

Alex led them successfully out of the camp and into the woods and her eyes narrowed into slit, adrenaline pushing through her veins.

Even though she wanted to protest, she still followed him further into the woods and Beth got more worried.

“Can’t you just give me a clue of where we are heading to?” Beth asked and Alex shook his head negatively.

“A little patience will do, trust me okay?” Alex said, squeezing her hand slightly and she sighed.

“Let’s hasten up, the moon won’t be up forever!” Alex added as he dragged Beth so she could meet up with his fast pace.

“Is this an escape?” Beth wondered out loud and Alex chuckled.

“Depends on what happens tonight”

Before she could ask him to explain further, They arrived at a clearing and Alex stopped.

“We are finally here,” Alex said and sighed heavily.

Beth got confused as she looked around and saw nothing but more trees. She began to think maybe he had gone crazy. How could Alex bring her to such a place? For what exactly?

“I’m yet to understand the reason for bringing me where, Alex. What’s going on?” Beth asked glaring at Alex

“Like I told you before, I would help you with your transformation so here we are for your first training” Alex said and Beth eyes widen.

“What sort of training takes place at night?”

“The type that will require you to transformed fully and not just your claws”.

“The moon is full tonight and if you are what I think you to be then you should be able to achieve a full transformation tonight. You don’t have to be bothered or worried, I will guide you.” Alex said and Beth’s heart skipped another beat.

She was getting scared about the whole transformation of a thing.

“What if I can’t fully transformed or anything like the rest of your kind” She said cautiously.

“You can do it provided you have that gene in you. Just give in to the moon goddess call and let her provide the strength you might need ,”

“How painful is the transformation exactly?”

Alex seem hesitant and Beth only panicked.

“Every first transformation is hard but you will be fine, I assure you”

Alex sounded so sure but Beth wasn’t exactly convinced. Her thought was going wild with endless questions and scenarios. What if something goes wrong and she is not able to transform back to human.

How then would her baby survive.

Alex took a step closer before lifting her chin back up to stare at him.

“You can do this okay? Now come on”

Alex helped her to unstrap the baby from her chest and into his arms carefully and carried him in his hands still sleeping.

Beth inhaled a deep breath as she got ready.

“Are you ready?” Alex asked and Beth nodded, her heart beating at a faster rate.

“I want you to erase fear from your mind and focus on that voice in your head because that’s your guide. You need to imagine the transformation before it takes place so picture yourself in the form and color you can see in your mind.” Alex explained and Beth nodded feeling nervous all of a sudden.

“You can do this Beth. One, two, three, now breathe slowly,”

Beth did as told and shut her eyes tightly and tried to concentrate, while picturing herself anything else other than a human. Try as she may, she couldn’t just imagine her transformation.

She was damn scared and nervous to even try. Her legs felt like jelly beneath her and slowly her palms were becoming a bit sweaty.

After another minute or two, she gave up with her now eyes.

“I can’t do it. I’m sorry”

“You can do it. You just have to try harder, Elizabeth. Think of how defend less you have been all these while. How much you have being put down until now and how much your son will suffer if you continue to be weak as you are now”

“Okay fine. I get it okay?, I totally do”

Alex smiled, “I’m glad you do get my point so close your eyes and try again” Alex ordered.

She took her position again, this time with full concentration and soon show felt her nails elongating into and she kept pushing and for the first time, she was able to imagined herself as a wolf running through the wild.

It’s dark furs glistering under the moon light as it sprint faster and towards it destination.

She began increasing in size, hairs stood up on her body and even multiplied. Her bones began to crack painfully and she let out a cry she swore were howl.

In less than a few minutes, Beth was fully transformed turned into a black wolf and completely sprawled on the floor.

“It worked,” Alex voice had echoed in her mind and she prey her eyes open but nothing was the same again. Everything has changed and she could feel it deep in her bones as she lay on the ground.
