Can't You Hear Me Now?

Chapter 14

 * Jacob POV *

I woke up in a large room that was way too bright. White walls appeared to come crashing down at me. It was too bright it was like the son shown in this small room just to make me angry. It made my eyes and head hurt. My ears were ringing. I closed my eyes to try and gain relief from the blinding lights. I covered my ears with my hands trying to lessen the noise. I was laying on the floor, which was comfortable, it was padded. I rolled over and stretched out trying to stay calm, keeping my eyes closed. I could hear mom and dad talking outside the walls it was muffled but I could hear them.

"Mom, Dad" I yelled. Ouch that hurt my ears. They were very sensitive. It must be my wolfs hearing.

"Jacob, it's dad. Mom is with Penny, how are you feeling?"

"I hurt everywhere, it's too bright, you're too loud and my body hurts all over, dad what's going on?" I was confused.

"Son your mom and I think your birthday is wrong, it appears you will be shifting tonight at midnight, which is in about five minutes". What? Now I'm not ready, I thought I was, but this is too soon. I was supposed to have another week to get used to the idea.

"Son, calm down you need to take it easy and let the change happen or it will hurt more, we will find out what happened with your birth date later, right now you need to breathe through the pain, it won't hurt as much but if you fight it, you will be in tremendous pain". Dad was using a stern tone on me this must be his alpha voice, but I could not calm down I was freaking out. Any minute I will turn into wolf. I was still having a hard time with that fact alone. Oh my god werewolves exist, and I was about to become one. Oh, I really needed more time to take this in. I talked to Penny for a few minutes pretty mush said what dad just told me. She seemed calm. How is she so calm and I'm a mess?

I was still laying on the floor talking to dad when suddenly, I had cramping in my legs, my thighs were twisting and then I heard a crack and a pop then my other leg snapped. It felt like someone had taken my leg and snapped it in two over their knee. I jumped to my feet in agony and ended up falling into the wall sliding down to the floor.

I began thrashing around, hitting my fist to the wall. Each time a bone snapped I cried out in pain. Oh, so much pain. I was on all fours down on my knees when I felt my bones in my legs shorten. My fingers curled inward and became paws. Oh, the pain. I got up and ran my shoulder to the wall. I could not escape the pain. My body was on fire. My breathing was hard and fast I was in a panic. My blood smeared the walls red from when I rammed it with my fist.

My skin was on fire and burned with pain. I looked down at my hands turning into large paws and watched in horror as hair grew and became fur. I was covered in black fur. Oh, dam I'm a fluffy dog. This is so unreal. I stumbled around on my paws. I had no control over my body now, it felt as though I was a wild animal. My wild untamed self was clawing to get out. I began running and throwing myself at the walls. I tried to gain control but the animal inside me wanted out. He wanted to kill, hunt and taste blood.

I continued to try and take control. Each time I thought I was gaining control of my own limps they would move on their own accord.

'STOP it now, I screamed into my head.' what came out of my mouth was a growl. Oh no way my wolf just growled at me. ' I don't think so I'm in charge this is my body I will command it not you, you will listen to me'. My wolf did not like that because he kept ramming our body into the wall, snarling, and growling at me.

"Son, take control of that wolf now before does more harm to your body, you are the future alpha, he is your strength, but you have to have control over him, you are the brains he is just an animal without you"! Dad was screaming in my mind, trying to get me to take charge. I was trying to, he was stubborn. "I'm trying to dad, he's so strong".

'You will do as I say now wolf you are nothing without me', my wolf growled back at me. 'They will never let us out of here until you obey me, we must learn to work as a team.' suddenly my body stopped moving. And my rapid breathing slowed to a normal pace. I guess he was ok with working as a team. I gained control of my own limbs and he let me, I felt him retreat. He howled to me in my head. I'm guessing it was a plea to me and that he agrees to work as a team, but I could tell if I reneged on that he would fight me for control again. It was strange that I can understand what he wanted.

I fell to the floor in exhaustion. I was so tired now. My body was sore. I needed to rest, so I could heal the bruising he created. I laid on the cold mats that lined the floor, trying to calm down and relax. I was hoping Penny had an easier time then I did. I could not imagine her having a wolf that was as strong as mine. She is too sweet and docile, and I hoped she had a wolf equal to her.

"Penny, are you ok how was your change"? I waited for her reply. Nothing. I could not hear her. Again, I called out to her "Penny can you hear me are you ok, I need to know if you are alright". I paused 'Penny' I screamed in my mind.

"She can't hear you, Jacob. Something went wrong when she changed, she can't hear us either". Dad informed me. My mind jolted. What happened what went wrong. Is she ok, why can't she here me, I have always been able to hear her? I'm her voice. I let out a few barks and then a long howl. I wanted out I need to see my sister, my other half.

"Dad let me out, I need to see her, I need to see my sister. I'm calm now I just need to see if she's ok".

"Ok son just give me a few minutes". Dad said.
