Nate quickly covered his snout and listened. There were no sounds signifying that anyone had heard his howl. The house was completely silent. Re-assured he was the only one awake, he started to check himself out. He stood up and walked around the room on his digitigrade paws. It felt weird at first, but he quickly got used to it. He walked over to the full length mirror and checked himself out.
He was more muscular and covered in shaggy brown fur. He had a long, curved tail, which was casually wagging. Nate moved closer to check himself out. Sharp fangs peeked out from under his lips. He let out a low growl, opening his maw and checking out his fangs. He marveled at his dazzling yellow eyes. He couldn't help but smile a little as he took it all in. He raised a hand and felt his pointed, lupine ears, watching in the mirror.
Nate laid down on his bed and thought over what had happened to him. It was definitely real and happening to him, something he had wished for, wanted for so long had finally happened. He slowly drifted off to sleep, thinking how incredible this could be.
He was jolted awake by the sound of a knock on his bedroom door.
"Time to get up Nate! It's Christmas morning!" his mother announced.
Nate shot up in bed and looked over himself. He was lying in bed, completely back to normal. At first he thought it was all a dream, but he ripped and torn pajamas on the bed and floor confirmed otherwise. He really had turned into a werewolf that last night. He made a silent cheer as he stashed the torn remains and got dressed.
He went downstairs and joined his family for breakfast. They were going to his Dad's Grandparent's house for dinner and more presents for Christmas Day. Nate was looking forward to more presents, of course, but also he knew tonight was another full moon and he'd become a werewolf again. He couldn't wait and knew that expecting it to happen would make it a lot more exciting.
They spent the day at his Grandparents house, eating an early dinner. Nate was ravenous, having three helpings of ham, vegetable and potatoes. They opened presents and everyone enjoyed the gifts they received. Soon, the day was coming to a close and it was time for the family to head home. As they drove home, Nate noticed the full moon on the horizon. He started to panic, he can't transform here in the car with his parents.
No, not now, please not now, he thought to himself. He looked down and saw his fingernails were longer and scraggly hairs were growing in. He could taste a metallic taste in his mouth and felt around with his tounge, confirming his fangs were growing in. He felt a tingling in his ears and reached up, feeling them growing out to points.
He was both excited and a bit terrified that this was happening to him now. His parents were about to find out about him, there was no stopping it. He was feeling itchy under his clothes. He continued to silently plead, no please stop.
