Jeremy's POV

I couldn't help but think about how small and delicate the women Siobhan seemed as she lay in the cage. I never understood my father's or other men's enjoyment in hurting a woman. Though I knew from living with Elena that women were not always as delicate as they seem, I also knew that many were. It was always my instinct to protect instead of harm. It seemed profane to use greater strength and speed to hurt another. I will never understand how others of my species can to this.

Siobhan was almost all the way through her transformation now. She hasn't been able to speak much after the first time she awoke. I was able to establish that she did know what we are and what she is becoming. She also recognized Clay when he came in and seemed unafraid of him. I am surprised that she has survived to this point. I just hope she can make it through.

Elena has come and gone a few times. Speaking softly to Siobhan, telling her she can make it and to trust me. It seemed to help Siobhan relax a little more in my presence. Elena always left with tears beginning to form in her eyes. I didn't let on that I had seen them, she wouldn't want me to.

I sent Elena out to follow up some leads with Clay, and gather information on the mutts who caused this. I didn't want Elena hear for this part.

I can tell by the quickness of Siobhan's breaths that The Change will come soon. I slipped into the cage to undo the bandages on her wounds. They would only hurt her in the process of her transformation.

A short time later Siobhan lurched awake, gasping for air and groaning in pain. I talked her though the change. The process then seemed to take longer then Elena's had. The wounds could be the cause of that. The change drag out forever, but she pulled through.

Siobhan had survived to become silver gray wolf with a pale underside who was about the size and hight of a natural wolf. Meaning she was a good deal smaller then most werewolves.

She lifted her head and looked to me, then limped closer to where I was crouched by the cage. It was had for her to move but she didn't have to go far to reach me. I had stayed as close to her as I could. She submitted and showed that she accepted my dominance. I placed my hand on her head and murmured softly to her trying to give what comfort I could, with that she curled up and went to sleep.
