Chapter 10: Questions and Answers
The pack ran through the forest until they got back to the den. Tails, Knuckles and Silver dropped the Chaotix on the ground while Shadow took Maria into his den. The sun had already risen to start a brand new day. Sally looked at Sonic and whined, laying down next to him. Sonic smiled and nuzzled Sally's fur. He looked at her fondly and a blush appeared on his muzzle.
Have you decided if you want to be a wolf forever or not? he asked her.
Sally looked at him and blushed. To tell you the truth, it does sound intriguing. Besides, the others you bit are going to become wolves too. I guess I will.
Sonic nodded. I will have to bite you again. Prepare yourself.
He bit Sally on the chest and she howled in pain. The wound healed instantly and she looked at Sonic, blushing. She licked him and the two wolves gazed in each other's eyes lovingly. Sonic felt embarrassed but he grinned wolfishly.
You know... he said. It's been so long since I've seen you, and...I still have feelings for you, Sal. Do you have the same feelings also? I know we broke up a few years ago, but maybe...would you like to try again?
The female wolf nodded. I'd like that, Sonic.
Good, the Alpha said. Even when we broke up, I've never stopped loving you.
He yawned and fell asleep. A few hours later, he opened his eyes and saw that Maria and the Chaotix were waking up. Sonic looked at Shadow and the two Alphas stood up, walking towards them. Maria looked at the two wolves in curiosity but the Chaotix gasped and backed away from them. Shadow barked at them and they stopped in their tracks, turning around to face him.
Don't leave; we mean you no harm, Shadow said.
Espio looked suspicious. "Who are you, wolf, and why have you brought us to your pack?"
Sonic walked up beside Shadow and looked at the Chaotix. Don't you recognize us, Espio?
The three Chaotix members looked closely and gasped.
"Sonic...Shadow...is that really you?" Vector asked.
The wolves nodded their heads. Maria looked at Shadow, blushing, and the Chaotix seemed confused.
"Why...why are you two wolves? What happened to you?"
Sonic sighed and explained everything. When he was finished, Vector and Espio looked at him in amazement. Charmy's eyes were wide and he smiled.
I know you have many questions, but we need to tell you why you're here, Sonic said. My brother, Manic, is also a wolf and is plotting something evil. We have encountered his pack a few times and must stop him. In order to do so, Shadow and I bit you so that you will transform into werewolves in order to confront him. I am sorry, but you three and Maria are now part of this pack now. There is another full moon tonight, so you will transform then.
Charmy, Espio and Vector were stunned at this news. They sighed and nodded in acceptance. Maria just stood there, taking in the information.
"We'll transform on every full moon, right?" Charmy asked.
Shadow nodded. There is one more thing that I need to tell you. Sonic and I are the Alphas, and we can make your wolf forms permanent if you wish.
The Chaotix thought about it and then smiled. "That would be nice," Espio said. "Then we wouldn't have to transform every full moon. When will you make us wolves permanently?"
Sonic and I will bite you again tonight when you first transform. I hope that you will be happy about this decision. Being a wolf isn't so bad, and this pack is like a family.
Espio grinned. "We will try to adapt."
The two Alpha wolves nodded, showing their razor sharp fangs. Sonic walked up to them and spoke. Then welcome to the pack.
