Chapter Four

"Join." Rai howled in delight and pounced on Harry. Harry yelped as he was pushed backwards and fell. Alice laughed in amusement and Rai ruffled Harry's hair with a grin.

"You'll be a good leader Harry." Alice smiled as Harry grinned. Rai clapped him on the back again and grinned as well. "I must go now, my mother will be wondering where I was."

"It was nice to meet you Alice." Harry said. Alice nodded and left, leaving Harry with Rai.

"I'm glad you accepted my offer." Rai said, offering Harry a hand up. "We'll have you turned in a jiffy, if that's okay?"

"Uhm...is it painful?" Harry asked. Rai shrugged.

"I don't know, though I've heard it's different for every person. It's a painless procedure though." Harry nodded uncertainly. "Now, you just have to stand here. I get to do the rest." Harry gulped, suddenly nervous, as Rai transformed into what he explained was a Demon Wolf's true form: a hybrid cross between a wolf and human. (1)

'All you have to do is close your eyes and trust me.' Rai's voice drifted into his head. Harry nodded and closed his eyes. He felt Rai place his front paws onto his shoulders and lick his face reassuringly.

Harry relaxed and Rai jumped back down. He took Harry's wrist into his mouth and bit down hard. Harry squeaked in surprise but the pain left as soon as he did. He felt Rai's tongue lap at his wound until he felt weak in the knees.

'Kneel.' Harry dropped to his knees and Rai released his wrist. He used a sharp claw to cut open an inch of skin by his neck. 'Drink.' Harry fell foreword in a daze and closed his mouth around the wound. He drank the blood of the Demon Lord and blacked out.

When Harry woke up again, it was nighttime. Dai was lying next to him, watching him with soft eyes. "How do you feel?" He asked as Harry regained his senses. Harry winced at the sudden loud noise.

"Okay...ow ow..... But everything is so loud..." Harry clapped his hands over his ears. Rai smiled.

"You will get used to it." Harry sniffled and sneezed. "Along with that." Harry pouted. "I will help you."

"I hope I get used to it quickly..." Rai laughed.

"You will. As soon as you are we will work on your powers and transformations." Harry nodded and buried his head in the soft fur. That only ended up tickling his nose and he sneezed again.

"How long was I asleep?" Harry asked as he slowly got used to his newly heightened senses.

"Three days." Harry jerked in surprise. "Alice has been by several times. She helped me bathe you." Harry blushed. "You're almost completely changed."

"That's good?"

"Very. Alls you'll have to get used to, besides your heightened senses, is your appearance. If you were awake you'd have to be worried about keeping your balance, resisting your apatite changes, etc..."

"I'll have to eat raw meat now wont I?" Harry wrinkled his nose.

"Yes, but you'll love it. It'll be second nature to you in no time." Harry hmmed. "You're the first I've turned you know."

"That's what Alice said." Harry commented. "Why though?"

"You're the first I've met that I though worthy of receiving my blood." Rai said. "Don't think I'm conceited or smug...but I value my life." Rai said with a grin.

"I understand." Harry said. "I'm glad you found me worthy..." Rai shrugged.

"Me too pup." Harry wrinkled his nose again.

"So...what will I be called? Hopefully not pup all the time...." Harry asked.

"Most likely Prince." Harry grimaced. "Or if you insist, Harry."

"Can I have a nickname?" Harry pleaded.

"If you want." Harry sighed in relief. "But I would wait until you are completely changed and have the main colors of your wolf form."

"Why?"

"You can choose something fitting from that." Harry nodded and rolled over. He shielded his eyes from the bright light. "How about a walk?"

"Okay, might as well get used to everything."
