Kyle tried desperately to close the door before the she-beast could attack and either devour him or induct him into the Dark Pack, but the female wolfbeast slammed shoulder-first into the door just as Kyle was about to lock it, knocking him off his feet and onto the sticky locker room floor. Quickly, the beast entered the locker room, allowing the door to close, a now-broken hinge groaning slightly.
"N..no... please..." Kyle begged for his life, even as the she-wolf noticed a bulge growing in the front of his pants. She was in heat... she could not deny it. She paused, considering tearing off his clothes, licking him all over and letting him fill her with seed... but no. Not because Ashley now had any inhibitions about sex. She couldn't wait to be mounted by a strong male. But it would be a good male, a male of her choosing. Someone worthy to father her cubs. Not this scrawny, hateful male before her. Slowly, she began to regain human form, fur receding, muzzle cracking as it merged once again into her skull, spine popping as her beautiful tail hid within her. Her eight voluptuous breasts once again became two, and she opened her eyes, naked and not caring, and filled with rage. "Kyle..." she growled.
"A... Ashley?" Kyle gulped. Could this beautiful, strong, naked woman be the fantasy bookworm he'd always known? It had to be... that look in her eyes... Ashley had always had a very strong will and personality, though it rarely showed, and now he saw that incredible strength of spirit in those eyes. And now, she had a body to match.
"You helped them," said Ashley. "What did you do, Kyle? Tell me."
"Nothing," he gasped.
"Nothing?! Don't toy with me, Kyle!" she said, advancing on him. "Someone locked those doors from the outside, and you didn't seem at all surprised about what went on. You /knew/ that Gabe and Jen were going to turn everyone into werewolves and enslave them, didn't you? The whole school is now turned into evil werewolves, Kyle! What did you do!?"
"Nothing! I swear! Listen... Ashley... I've got a plan. If you just bite me, the two of us can..."
The unclad woman before him became a blur all of a sudden as with the same lightning speed that Gabe and Jen had shown before, she rushed at Kyle and kicked him squarely in the chest. The superhuman strength in the kick sent him flying seven feet through the air and crashing into a row of lockers, denting them badly. "Tell me the truth, Kyle," said Ashley, lowering her leg... Kyle was in too much pain to take advantage of the view her kick had offered... "Unless you feel very lucky. The next kick will be in wolf form. I doubt a human rib cage could survive the raw force of that."
Sobbing, Kyle told Ashley the whole story... how in his lust and anger he had cursed Jen, how she had changed Gabe into one of her own kind, and how the two had eaten human flesh and undergone the Darkening.
"You... hateful, pitiful human," said Ashley quietly, when he was finished. "Do you know what you've done? You could have made us all wild beasts, good and free! The Darkening was created by your own vile lusts and hatred... we could all have been like me! We could have begun a new species, and lived in harmony with nature! Imagine, Kyle... right now you and all the rest of the students could be wolves, with no need for clothes, mating whenever we wished, hunting in the forests. But now you've made this beautiful thing an evil virus!"
"How did you resist..." began Kyle.
"I said "Transform" when they asked the question. I've... always wanted to transform."
Kyle summoned all his courage and reached out to her. "You're... beautiful, you know. As a wolf..."
She slapped his hand away effortlessly. "Don't bother to flatter me. I know what I am now. I'm the one... who has to save everybody."
"We could do it together..." began Kyle weakly.
"Kyle, you unleashed this hell on us, a hell which should have been a heaven. I'll never, never forgive you. And I won't bite you, either. That will be your punishment. If you want to be a werewolf so badly, go join the Dark Ones. Eat human flesh and mate meaninglessly until I come to kill you. Otherwise... run away. Your curse is spent. I'm saving mine... I'll need it to set things right. And think hard about what you've done, Kyle. You've killed several innocent humans today, and by tonight the body count will be in the hundreds, to say nothing of the souls lost to the Darkening. Now get out of my sight... you're not worthy of being in my pack."
This last was said with such ferocious self-assurance that Kyle had no option but to slink away, falling ungracefully out the bathroom window onto the lawn and running into the nearby woods.
Ashley slowly let the beast's form return to her, revelling in the sensory overload of her sharp ears and long sensitive nose. It was like an orgasm for her mind, one that never ended as long as she remained a wolf. But her now-furry vagina burned with need. Kyle was not worthy... but she would need a mate and a pack if she was to face Gabe and Jen. She didn't even feel the window shatter as she leapt through it, stalking along the edge of the gym building towards the suburbs.
