Chapter 4

After a few minutes of watching his mate and cub James knew it was getting close to the time for Harry's transformation and they needed to explain what was going to happen. "Fenir, it is almost time we need to tell him." Fenir just stepped back and nodded as Harry just looked confused and slightly scarred as he said "Are you sending me away, please don't make me leave!" Tears streamed down his face and Fenir knew right that something had happened to his cub and he need to know soon and did James who was had now cataloged the same things that his mate had in their son. They shared a look agreeing silently that they would find out tomorrow James turned back to Harry who was now sitting back on the edge of the bed crying thinking that his parents did not was him.

Before James could say anything Harry spoke first "I understand that you don't truly want me here. You don't have to let me stay, you own me nothing and have no obligation to me. I won't be a burden to you and leave now before you see me as such. You'll never see me again, I am just glad to know you're alive."

Harry started to get up and leave but was shocked when he was pulled into the strong arms of his dad and a comforting growl sounded in his ear making him go limp in his dad's arms. "Harry, you are not a burden to us, We have never given up hope that we would see and hold you again. This is your home and this is where you belong, and if you run from here because you think that we don't care and want you we will track you down and drag you home every time because that will never be true. We would follow you to the ends of this earth and to hell and back to show you how much we love you. You are not going anywhere cub, for you are home where you belong."

Harry broke down and cried in his dads arms, he cried for all the pain he had endured, he cried because someone finally wanted him, he cried because he was home at last. Soon Harry was spend and lay contently in his dads arms and he had felt his papa sit down beside them a while ago but was to lost in his emotions to care.

Fenir watched his mate comfort their cub and waited till Harry had calmed down before he spoke "Cub, what your father meant earlier was that we needed to talk about your transformation. So that you would understand what is going to happen, we will never send you away now that you are home. And me must discuss it now because we are running out of time."

Harry pulled back a little and nodded to show he was listening and James took over as he had the most information about it. "Cub, I told you in the letter that you are a wolf demon like me and that tonight you would go through your transformation. Now it is not easy or strait forward as it sound, You will be coming into you magical inheritance at the same time and it will be painful. As your parent and a wolf demon I can take some of the pain from you but not all of it, I can only make it bearable. Now here is how it will happen," James started explain what would happen to Harry and then went on to explain what would be different after before he touched on a slightly different part of things "Your papa will be here for some of it but the full moon is tonight and he will have to leave to be with the pack who won't be far. But the transformation is quick a little over half an hour though it seems much longer and after you get some of your strength back we can join him outside." James saw his son's eyes widen at the thought and could see he wanted to know how that was possible, "You saw me first a black wolf remember before I transformed back and brought you home, and you might remember me telling you that you had been born a wolf cub. So you see after it is over you will be able to shift at will into a wolf at anytime just like your papa and I. I will teach you how to shift after it is over and then we will go to your papa and you will meet the pack." He hoped that their beta and his mate where there tonight as on some occasions they could not get away.

Harry nodded "I understand, I am a little nervous but pain is no stranger to me."

James sighed but Fenir answered "And we will be talking about that later Harry. We need to know why so that we can know if you need help, and after what I have seen already I think some heads may roll." The last four word where a growl as Fenir thought about anyone hurting his son James heard that loud and clear but picked up where Fenir had left off "You only have a few minutes now so lay down and get comfortable. Know I will not leave you and your papa wouldn't if he had a choice."

Harry did as he was told and then waited James watched the clock until a minute was left "Alright, if you need to scream do and you need to break my hand than do so I know I did to your grandfather. But if you can find something a sound a smell anything that can ground you for trust me it is much worse if you get lost in the pain. I will be talking to you through it if that helps then use it. Are you ready?"

Harry nodded and James just nodded back before he watched the clock until seconds remained "Five, four, three, two, one." Harry then stiffened and held back a scream. His whole body heated up and then a few minutes passed and then it felt like his bone where breaking and reforming along with his body alternating between feeling like it was on fire then cold as ice. Harry latched onto his dad's voice as it did help ground him he heard his papa leave and the kiss to his head but did not really register it. After what felt like hours he felt what he guess was his tail grow out from his tailbone and the his ears migrated to the top of his head and lengthened. It was the most painful part yet. Then the pain changed his magic seemed to swell and roll through him and a magic he had not felt before rushed alone side it, he heard his dad gasp as he said "An all elemental including shadow, you are going to be so strong and do quite amazing things my little cub."

After a while longer the pain started to fade and his body seemed to relax, a while later he could really start to catalog the differences in himself. James had gone silent letting his son adjust before he spoke. He could not help but smile as he noticed that his sons ears and tail fur where a mixture of silver and black a perfect mixture of his parents coloring. After a few minutes of letting his son get used the differences he spoke "Are you alright, cub." Harry jumped at how much louder his dad's voice seem but gut soon calmed as his dad let out a comforting growl that seemed to help him relax again but he let out a happy whine that stopped him short and he shook his head in shock causing his dad to laugh a little "That is normal, Harry. Some ways in which you will communicate with anyone in the pack will be similar some things that used to be conveyed in words will now be conveyed in these actions. For example when I growled to comfort you it automatically made you relax because it registered to you that you where safe and that I was here, then when you wanted to show your gratitude and happiness hence the whine. Many things will be conveys as so now but only with those you trust. Now how are feeling?" James explained as Harry rested in his arms.

Harry nuzzled his dad before replying "I feel a little beat up but other than that I feel better than I ever have. It's interesting trying to sit while having a tail though."

James chuckled nodded 'Yes it is at the beginning but you get used to it quickly. Now do you think you are ready to learn to shift so we can get to your papa I can feel his agitation and worry from here."

Harry just nodded and pulled back looking at his papa with his new enhanced eye sight and smiled wide showing off his little fangs causing James to do the same. James helped Harry stand a get steady on his feet before he started to guide his son through the process of turning into his wolf form

"Alright, this is instinctual to us but the first time is easier with some guidance, now I want you to close your eyes, and focus your thoughts, when that is done you will feel you instincts more clearly. Now let them rise within you, let them take control, it will feel a bit strange but do not fight when the shift begins or it will hurt, just let it come. After your instincts take control you will shift in time you will learn to control it but for now just let it happen."

Harry had been following the steps his Dad had given as he gave them and soon after he stopped Harry felt to shift happening and he was right it felt a little strange but it did not really bother Harry and he let it happen. He heard his dad gasp slightly and his eyes snapped open but noticed his perspective had changed. He looked over at his papa and found him kneeling at his level with his hand out with the palm up and hand open.

Harry tried to walk over to his papa but ended up stumbling and almost blowing him over, but James caught his son "Easy, it will get easier over the next few minutes. I am so proud of you, Did you know that your coloring is a perfect mixture of you papa and I, it is quite stunning. I am sure you will be quite a heartbreaker among the pack."

Harry's ears lowered a bit and let out a questioning whimper in his own way asking why his dad was not shifting too. James just smiled and scooted back a second later after a fast and seamless shift when James had sat now sat a regal black wolf with hazel gold flecked eyes staring back at Harry.

Harry lowered himself to the ground, his ears flat against his skull and his tail curled around his side, as Harry's fear of being rejected came back full force his instincts screaming at him that it was possible still. Harry let out a small whimper not looking at his dad.

James saw that his cub was struggling, and could also tell that his cub still was afraid of being rejected as the wolf in James could still reject his cub if it wanted to but James knew that would not happen. He stood and walked over to his cub standing over him for a second before he started to lick and scent mark his cub in a way that he knew his cub would understand and see as acceptance. After Harry had relaxed James decided it was time to have a little fun and playfully nipped at Harry's ear before he nudged him over till he was on his back. Harry let out a yip of surprise and started squirming before his dad started to play with him. Harry batted his paw playfully at his dad's head and actually made contact making James shake his head a little before Harry pounced and they rolled around rough housing a little.

James was not just playing with his cub to make for the sake of it he was also getting Harry use to moving as a wolf instead of as a human and soon enough Harry was holding his own instead of stumbling around like a newborn pup. James now thought a new aspect was to be introduced that allowed them to communicate in this form the pack bond that was even easier to use when it was a family member you where talking to. "Harry, can you hear me?" Harry stopped and looked at his dad confused "Think what you want to say and direct it to me and I will hear you." "I can hear you, how is this possible?" Harry asked his mental voice was a bit of a stutter but it came across loud and clear

James licked his cubs muzzle in praise before he spoke again "This is how werewolves and wolf demons communicate in wolf form. It is easier if you are speaking to a family member but it is not much harder to use it to speak to others in the pack. Are you ready to go out there and see what it is like to run with the pack?" James asked his son

"I am a little nervous but I want to go, plus I want to see papa again." Harry replied a little embarrassed James just jerked his head towards the door and started to walk towards it and Harry knew to follow.

Soon enough they were outside but there was no one in the clearing. Harry looked at his dad in confusing who looked back with confidence for a second before throwing his head back and howling. After a second of silence an answering howl came and a sliver wolf darted into the clearing heading straight for them. Harry's instincts yelled at him again that he could be rejected and went into the same posture he had before not knowing what his papa would do.

AN: will his papa reject him now that wolf in him is driving or will things turn out for he better well if you like this story and i have gotten enough views and reviews i will be trying to keep going with this. lets see what happens next for our reunited family.
