The wolf's nose twitched and a gout of steam escaped it's nostrils. It blinked, finally its vision clarifying. It's ears rotated in their sockets, listening for any sounds of movement or approaching creatures. It heard something, distant, something talking words at it, and it shook its head in confusion as its mouth began to drip viscous drool. It was hungry, insatiably so, and wanting nothing more than to gorge itself on fresh, hot, living meat.

It smelled something strange behind it, and sniffed loudly several times before turning its head to see. It smelled almost like a man, but there was something overpowering the smell of its flesh: something pure, like clean snow. The wolf's bright green eyes came to rest on the man thing behind it, and its lips snarled back to reveal two-inch canines and dark red gums. Pure or not, it was made of flesh.

The beast steadied itself, still a little wobbly from the change, and turned its body to face the tiny creature before it. Faolan had fully transformed, taking the shape of a large creature that had the anatomy of a wolf blended with the stature of a human. It was nearly seven and a half feet tall and loomed over the small creature before it as a low growl started to vibrate through its chest cavity. It was covered in dark red fur, the same color as Faolan's, and its eyes were that same dark green color, but there was no semblance of the man behind them. The man had gone quiet inside this new form, his base instincts to hunt, kill, and eat had fully taken over. In most cultures, this was known as a Lycanthrope, or werewolf, but the creature knew nothing of this, nor would it care. Its sole purpose was to destroy living things, to rend them apart until they were just meat and blood and bone.

Its nose twitched again and its eyes flashed as it saw the little thing trying to escape, to fly away on wings of white. Before it was out of reach, the creature slashed out with its claws, a little sluggishly because it was still weak from the change. It needed more time before it would be strong and fast enough to eat this one.
