[Malcolm POV]
I parked my car and walked deep into the forest, feeling the shift begin.
Stopping once I reached deep enough into a location where the moon’s light was bright.
I looked up at the moon, and I let the beast in me free.
My Bones started to break one by one; my teeth grew longer into fangs.
The pain was so excruciating that my breathing quickened as more bones broke and reshaped.
“AAAAAAARRRRRGGGHHH,” I yelled, trying to bare with the pain.
I fell to my knees.
My legs broke and reshaped into a wolf’s back legs, ripping through my shoes.
My body grew larger Black fur growing and covering my skin.
Eyes snapped open, glowing Crimson red.
Claws grew from my paws, sharper than Obsidian.
My K9s grew as big as a Dagger.
When the transformation was finished, I stood at around 11 ft tall on all fours.
Strength radiated from my body, and the wind in the air was soothing, as if nature itself was welcoming me into the world.
An image ran through my head.
Scott McCall.
I raised my snouted smelled the hair, and located him; he was with Derek, leaving the forest.
With my newly attained strength, I bolted toward their location, easily manoeuvring the trees at night.
My sight allowed me to see clearly as if it were daytime.
The closer I got, the angrier I was becoming.
I picked up another scent; it was Chris Argent with two other hunters.
I ignored it, going straight for the one who ruined my time with my mate.
[Meanwhile Scott and Derek]
“If you wanna make it home still alive, I suggest you hurry your ass up.” Derek walks fast ahead of Scott.
“Why are we even walking so fast?
We already lost the hunters-”
“Because you pissed someone off who’s coming for your head, and I’m trying to help keep you alive.” Derek stopped and turned his head to the side, hearing large footsteps.
“RUN!” They started running to escape the massive creature.
They came into my sight as they were running away fast, but it meant nothing in my eyes.
Closing in on them, I leaped into the sky, shifted into my werewolf form, and went after Scott and pinned him to the ground.
Every cell in my body told me to kill him now.
He caused mate distress and ruined our date; why should I let him live?
“Malcolm, calm down, or you’ll kill him.” Derek tried to reason with me, but my gaze fixed on fearful Scott.
Until another voice rang out from my right.
“Let him go, mijo.” I turned my head and saw a female werewolf approaching with red eyes but gentle, as if soothing me.
“Come back to me, my little pup,” She said, changing back into her human form.
“Mama?
What are you doing here?”
“Making sure you don’t kill that poor boy.” She said, pointing to Scott.
I let go of him and walked towards my mom, still in my werewolf form.
“Let me guess: he got in the way of your date with that Allison girl, hmm?” She asked with a smirk.
“Seriously, ma, not here,” I said, looking a bit embarrassed.
“Me?
You’re the one full wolf trying to kill someone on your first shift.” She said as a matter of fact.
*Sigh* “Fine, but why did I lose control of myself?” I asked her
“You didn’t; the mate bond just pushed your protective instinct for that girl into overdrive.” She answered.
“Makes sense, thanks for bringing me back, Mom.” She handed me a change of clothes.
“Now go change.” She pointed behind a tree.
Before I could go and change, I caught the scent of something dying, like a rotting corpse, then came footsteps too quick to be a human and too fast for anything supernatural currently in Beacon Hills.
Focusing all my senses, I noticed a creature running towards us; it had pale skin like a rotting corpse, grey like it came from a grave.
Its skin was peeling off, revealing the bone underneath.
Its eyes were white and soulless, with razor-sharp claws and jagged claws that had dried bloodstains on them.
Its target was probably us; I probably drew its attention by trying to kill Scott.
Note to self: hunt in silence to avoid drawing attention.
“You see it too, Ma?” I ask her while putting my clothes down.
“Yes, and it looks hungry by how fast it’s running towards us.” She answered, her eyes glowing crimson with a serious look on her face.
“Have any idea what it is?” I asked, shifting back into my human form and putting on a pair of jeans.
“It’s a Ghoul.” Derek’s voice came from the side.
“My mother told me about them from one of her travels.
They’re human-eating creatures that should be killed whenever you come across one.” He continued.
“I can tell, every ounce of my body wants that thing dead, like nature itself rejects its very existence.”
“Since you’ve already gone through your first shift, why don’t you take care of it and get used to your new power?” My mom suggested.
“With pleasure,” I replied, cracking my knuckles and walking toward the Ghoul.
It leaped toward claw aiming for my heart.
I slowed my heart rate and leaned to my left, avoiding its claws, and punched it in the face, making it tumble 5ft away from me.
Scott, now behind me, was watching, frozen.
“Go stand with the others,” I said, keeping my eyes on the ghoul.
RAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH
It screamed, enraged, charging towards me.
With every swing aimed at my vital organs purposed to kill me.
I blocked and dodged its attacks, which were getting more and more sloppy and aggressive.
“Don’t know how to kill you, so I’ll just rip your head off,” I said, my eyes starting to glow red.
I kicked it in the chest, making some distance between us.
It quickly got up and charged at me again.
I sped towards it, claws out, and ripped the ghoul’s head off before it could take more than five steps.
Its body took 2 steps before falling to the ground.
Throwing its head next to the decapitated body, it started turning to ash.
I looked as the thing was blown away by the wind.
That thing wasn’t in the original series; it looks like my wish is finally taking effect.
Walking towards my Mom, Derek, and Scott, I noticed he wasn’t in the best of condition.
“Alright, let’s get back home.
I’m tired as hell.” I said, walking towards my mom.
“With pleasure, I have an early day at the hospital tomorrow.” We walked toward my car.
I looked back at Scott one last time before saying.
“Try not to die before the next full moon.” Waved my hand while walking away
