" " is talking
' ' is thoughts and thought speak between Tommy and the wolf

Normal POV

Tommy and Merton were in their apartment just off the campus of Pleasantville University; Tommy seated in a chair in the den reading an essay for his English class and Merton was in the kitchen changing the page on the calendar (as it was now November 1st).

"Tommy! You'll never guess what's coming up this month," Merton exclaimed as he entered the den.

"Uh, Thanksgiving?" Tommy asked as he looked up from the page he was reading.
Knowing that a conversation with Merton could take a while, Tommy marked his place and put his book on the coffee table in front of him.

"Well yeah, but that isn't what I'm talking about, Tommy there is a blue moon this month," Merton said, practically jumping up and down with excitement.

"What exactly is a blue moon?"

"A blue moon is the name given to an irregularly timed full moon; a year usually has just 12 full moons but every 2 to 3 years there are 13 full moons," Merton explained.

"So if it's just another full moon what's so special about this one that you just had to tell me?" Tommy asked, still seated but having the chair arms in a tight grip because of irritation that he had been disturbed from his assignment for information that could have waited.

"Well, there is this comet that will be passing that night and that comet's light, when reflected of the moon, enhances the moon's power."

Tommy released the chair arms, seeing as this was important info and not just Merton disturbing him for no good reason.

"And that means what for me exactly?"

"Well, it seems the wolf will take control of body that night, but don't worry, we'll go back to the Lair that night and I'll place silver on every exit so the wolf can't escape."

"Mert, I'm going for a run in the woods so I can think about this."
When Tommy needed to think and wanted to be alone, he when running in the woods behind their apartment, which were fairly thick and it wasn't likely that he would be seen at all no matter what form he was in.

"Alright Tommy, just be back by 11 or I'm locking you out."

Merton locked the door at promptly 11PM every night before going to bed and so he reminded Tommy 
every time he when out late.
With that Tommy stood up and went out the back door and into the woods behind their apartment.

After Tommy walked for about 10 minutes, he found a clearing and sat down to meditate and call to his inner wolf.
'Alright Wolf, we need to talk.'
'What do you want Tommy?,' the wolf spoke as if just waking up.
'You heard about the comet enhancing the moon's power and that you will take control, so I'm telling you now to act like the mindless animal Merton thinks you are.'
'You know you'll have to tell him eventually and I'm not just talking about me Tommy.'
'I can't, I don't want to lose him and I will if he finds out.'
'You'll lose him eventually if you don't; how will you feel if Merton dates another guy and you lose any chance of him being yours?'
'It won't happen, Merton is straight, remember?'
'But if it did, how would you feel…..answer me Tommy.'
'I would be heartbroken and probably pine over Merton for the rest of my life.'
'And what would you want to do to the guy that Merton was dating?'
'I'd tear him apart, Merton is MINE!''Wait that sounded like something you would say wolf,' Tommy said.
'Tommy, that was you as a full werewolf; protective and possessive of your mate.'
'Merton is not my mate.'
'Your heart and instincts say otherwise Tommy, so get used to it.'

The wolf had been telling Tommy that he should tell Merton that he was in love with him for almost a month and the wolf knew that as the integration progressed Tommy would be increasingly jealous of anyone who spent time with the Goth.

'I've got to talk to someone about this and Lori is the only option I've got now.'
'Great, you're about to tell your ex-girlfriend that you are in love with you male best friend, this should be interesting.'
