A/N: Chapter 2 of Lycans and a new start. I have read several werewolf stories and came across a handful of Lycan stories. Two Lycan stories and one challenge lead to this story. Inspired by stories: Rise of Lycans from Whitetigerwolf and Kaleb-yamato, and the challenge from timbarney110, challenge not followed. This story starts near the end of CoS 2nd year, in place of end of 3rd year for most. This story is focused around the relationship of Harry and Katie, even if it seems to have others it is about them and the growing they will have being the alphas. Bashing will occur for some, and just expansion of known traits on others.
The story has not been beta read and most likely has numerous grammatical errors and thought jumps. I work on this when my muse hits story block on The Bond and the Ritual, so updates will be very slow. It is hard to write one when the muse wants something else. Please read, review.
I only play in the sandbox created by JKR. All known characters belong to her.

Lycans and a new start
Ch 2
4 July 1993
Harry got up at 0500, so use to getting up this early from living with the Dursley's, and started on his new exercise regiment. He went outside of the tent and started with basic exercises and stretches, then he proceeded to a short run, knowing that it will take some time to get to his goal. Once finished with his exercises he went in an took a hot shower. When he came out Dobby had breakfast waiting for him with a another small plate of bacon for Hedwig.
"Hey girl, how do you like the place," he asked Hedwig, as she hopped over to the table and her bacon. She quickly ate a piece before grabbing a second and returned to her perch. Finishing the second piece she barked her approval of the location and setting. There were several fields nearby that she can hunt in and no more disgusting humans beating on her human.
At 0930, Harry had Dobby pop him into a small alley way in Whitchurch near the Village Bakery, while Dobby went and got some money from his vault and exchanged them to pounds. Harry walked around the village, enjoying the tea he got from the bakery, and looking at the shops in the village. He also studied the Library in the village, planing to see what they had to offer. He finally made his way towards the Silk Mill and was met by Dobby in a small alcove with the money.
Harry was walking around the mill site when he heard his name called. Looking up to the south he saw Katie waving to him. He smiled and turned and headed in her direction.
"Katie, thanks for meeting me this morning," welcomed Harry. "How have you been?"
"Harry, good to see you," Katie greeted him with a hug. "I'm fine, but you will have to meet mum and dad later today. They were not happy at King's Cross station after seeing your uncle." Releasing Harry from the hug and looking at him. Seeing the look of fear in his eyes, Katie quickly pulled Harry back in for another hug, to comfort him.
"So what do you thing of our village and what have you seen?" inquired Katie, to take his mind off of the pending meeting.
"I got here about 0930 and enjoyed the walk around the circle and village. I stopped at the bakery and got a cup of tea," answered Harry. "I had just started to look around the mill grounds when you called."
"So how are things?" inquire Katie.
"Better now," stated Harry, quickly looking at Katie and then his shoes.
"How?" asked Katie.
Harry looked in the distance and then at Katie, debating to tell her, finally deciding to tell Katie about the events yesterday. "I was out with my relatives up at Highclere Castle, when they left without me. I looked around but could not find them any where. As I walked towards Beacon Hill, I found a small hidden area and called Dobby..."
"Whose Dobby?" interrupted Katie.
Looking around and seeing that they were alone. "Dobby, is a house-elf that I freed just before term ended," answered Harry. "He use to belong to the Malfoy's. Mr. Malfoy, was pissed when I tricked him into freeing Dobby, he tried to curse me, but Dobby sent him flying down the hall into a wall."
Katie, half laughed/ choked hearing how Malfoy got tricked. "He deserved what he received, headache and all."
"So after Dobby arrived I asked if he could find me a place to stay and he popped away and then shortly returned and took me to were I am staying now. He had a wizards tent set up in some nearby woods protected with elf magic," finished Harry. "It is close to here, I believe he said we are in Bradley wood."
"That is not far from here, only a couple of km north," answered Katie. "Lets walk around and see what we can learn and then get a quick bite from the cafe."
"Sounds good," replied Harry. "Other than school and Diagon Alley, I have not been out of my relatives house. They take trips around England, but I am never allowed to go."
"Do you know if they have been to France or Scotland?" inquired Katie.
"No. My uncle looks down on anything not English," answered Harry. "That includes anything he feels is not normal," he finished off quietly.
"Like you?" inquired Katie, as she picked up on the change in body language and his voice. Harry only nodded to her question. "Harry do you have any friends, outside of Hogwarts?" She watched for his response, already knowing what his answer will be.
"No. My cousin would threaten or beat up anyone who approached me to try and make friends," answered Harry, looking down with slouched shoulders, turned slight away from Katie.
"Harry, look at me," stated Katie, lifting his chin gently and turning him to face her. "I will always be your friend in school and out of school, I like you. Like a lot." Harry looked surprised at this and started to protest, but was hushed by a finger on his lips. "I don't mean the-boy-who-lived. I like the Harry Potter standing in front of me, that is crazy on a broom, afraid and has both fear and longing in his eyes," finished Katie as she was looking into those deep emerald green eyes. With that said Katie pulled the terrified boy into her chest and wrapped her arms around him in a hug trying to project a feeling of protection and caring into her hug.
Harry initially was stiff and then relaxed into the hug from Katie and then returned the hug and started to accept the feeling of belonging and caring. "Katie, thank you. I like you to and being with you. I appreciated your help with the team in the locker room," Harry said as they broke apart and continued on to the entrance. Unknown and unseen magic started to slowly gather around the two teens slowly forming a feint tethers between their two souls and bodies.
Harry paid the entrance fee for the two of them and they enjoyed learning about the history of the mill and just spending time with each other. Once finished with the tour they moved over to the cafe and had a light lunch of salad with malted rolls. After finishing their lunch the two started to stroll through the village, finally arriving at the Bell residency on the north east side.
"Mum, dad, I'm home," called Katie as she entered the house.
"We're in the kitchen," answered her mum.
Entering the kitchen Katie went and hugger her mum and dad before returning to stand beside Harry. "Mum, dad this is Harry Potter, my friend and team seeker at Hogwarts," introduced Katie.
"Good afternoon Ma'am, Sir, it is nice to meet you both," stated Harry as he went to greet them, shaking hands.
The two parents hide the look of concern they have at meeting Harry for the first time. Philip sensed something was wrong as he greeted the teen with a firm handshake. Elvina smiled and thanked Harry for coming over and meeting them.
"Harry lets go sit out back while Katie and her mum finish fixing dinner," stated Philip. Harry quickly looked at Katie, and she nodded it was okay.
This look between the two did not go unnoticed by the two adults. Harry left with Philip but was looking around to see which way would be the best exist in case he needed to escape. Philip saw the fear in the boys body and in his eyes when he caught a glimpse of them.
"Son, have a seat," stated Philip, indicating one of the chairs in the shade. "I mean you no harm, so relax."
"Sorry, I am not used to talking with people," replied Harry as he took a seat, still looking for the different exits. "My relatives do not want me talking with anyone."
"Yes, I saw the large man at the train station when you came home from school," stated Philip. "Who was he?"
"That was uncle Vernon, his wife is my mum's sister," replied Harry. "Neither uncle Vernon or aunt Petunia like me."
"What do you mean, they do not like you?" asked Philip.
"I'm not suppose to talk about it," answered Harry. Now alarms were going off in Philips mind with these last few statements from the child. His habit of looking for exits, his physical look and sized and how he is answering the questions, were yelling abuse in his mind.
"Harry, I mean you no harm and will not prey into your past, but if you wish to talk I will be here to listen," stated Philip. "I know Katie was glad to hear from you and to meet you today. How did you get here, Katie said that you live in Surrey?"
Looking at the house and then at the gentleman across from him, Harry remembered something Katie said, about her father, he is part of the Muggle police. How does he tell him that he was abandon by his relatives near here.
Philip saw the look of concern and confusion in the child's face as he was working on how to answer the question. 'It must not be a issue he was expecting to answer so soon,' thought Philip Taking pity on the child, he informs Harry that he will not be in trouble.
Seeing that Mr. Bell was not mad, Harry decided to be honest with him. "My relatives and I were visiting some of the gardens in the area including Highclere Castle. I was looking at the gardens there, when I did not see my relatives around. I looked in the parking lot for their car and I could not find it in any of the public lots near the castle," stated Harry. "I called a friend and he took me to a place to stay last night, it's near Bradley wood. He brought me to the village this morning."
Philip had to fight his police training and fatherly instinct to not go and pound some common sense in to Harry's relatives for abandoning the child, and to keep the anger building from showing on his face.
"Harry, who is this friend and does he have a house?" questioned Philip
Looking around and seeing that the garden was enclosed and no one could look in Harry pondered how much he can say. "Mr. Bell, what do you know of magic?"
Philip was surprised by the question. He knew of the wizard world as both his wife and daughter were witches. "More than you might expect," answered Philip "It is hard not too, when your wife and daughter are witches." smirking as he answered.
Nodding his understanding, Harry answered the question. "My friend is a house elf, and he set up a wizards tent in the woods north of here," he stated. "The tent has elf wards around it to keep unwanted people from finding the tent. The tent also has several protection wards that can be set from the inside once I close the entrance flap."
"Hey you two, dinner is ready," called Elvina from the door. Philip and Harry got up and headed for the door to the waiting dinner inside. The family and Harry had an enjoyable dinner and discussed the happenings of Hogwarts and the events around Whitchurch.
"Harry, what classes are you taking next year?" asked Katie.
"Besides the core classes, I am taking ancient runes, care of magical creatures and to start I am auditing Arithmancy," answered Harry.
"Auditing, that is allowed?" inquired Katie.
"I have struggled with muggle Math in the past and since Arithmancy is wizards Math it was felt I should audit the class, doing all the homework and such and after a few weeks I will meet with Professor McGonagall and Vector to see if I should continue or not," explained Harry.
"Harry that is a good approach to a problem subject," stated Elvina. "To bad they did away with the tutoring program while I was a student. If that was still around you would be okay in the class."
"They had a tutoring program?" inquired Katie.
"Yes Many of the 7th years would set aside time each week to help the lower year students," replied Elvina. "It was cancelled by Dumbledore, because of to many complaints by the pure-blood students and families. It seemed that most of the tutors were either half-blood or Muggle-born, and the pure-blood pride in their superiority could not take the insult."
Both Katie and Harry snorted at the last comment form Elvina. They could believe what she said as all they could hear was 'wait until I tell my father' from Draco.
Harry had a good time visiting with the Bells and learning what life was like in a mixed family, and a loving family.
"Harry, we do not mean to pry into your personnel life, but what you have said about your relatives, makes us concerned for you," stated Elvina. "Katie has taken a liking to you..."
"MUM," cried Katie, turning very red in her face and neck from her mothers comment.
"Well it is true," replied Elvina. "If you need a place to stay for a time our house is open to you. Please come and visit often, you do not need to stay in that tent by yourself all summer."
Blushing at the comments from Katie's mum, Harry slowly stammered out, a thank you and an agreement that he will visit through the summer.
"Harry, how will you get back to your tent?" asked Elvina.
"When I am ready I will call on Dobby and he will meet me and take me back," answered Harry.
"Who is Dobby?" inquired Elvina.
"He is my friend and a House-elf that I freed from the Mr. Malfoy, at the end of last year," answered Harry.
"How did you get Lucius Malfoy to free his house-elf?" questioned Elvina, as she knew of Lucius Malfoy, a fine piece of trash.
"I sort of tricked him into giving Dobby a sock," answered Harry. All of the Bells had a good laugh at hearing the details on how Lucius Malfoy was outsmarted by a 12 year old.
"Mum, Harry and I are going to take a walk around the village before he leaves for the night," Katie called to her mum.
"Alright do not be gone to long," replied her mum.
The two teens left the house and started to walk back to the village centre and the silk mill. They had made it down to the mill and were on their way back towards Katie's house when they heard the first faint howls. Looking around it was then that Harry noticed the full moon.
"Katie we need to move," stated Harry.
"Harry, I think you are right, that was no dog howling," responded Katie, as both teens picked up their pace towards home.
Soon they her another howl and this one was a lot closure and it seem to be off to their right and not from behind like the first. It was getting darker and they were walking along the river Test on the pedestrian path on the south bank.
"There is a foot bridge up ahead at the old mill house that we can cross the river, and then the path goes right up towards the home," stated Katie. "I use to walk this path to and from school when I was younger."
Nodding Harry followed Katie keeping a look to their back and right, with the river to their left.
The two teens had just made it across the river Test at the old mill house, when they heard the next howl coming from their right. They looked at each other and Katie took to the path knowing it was shorter that following the road home. They had just past the last house on their left when the large wolf like creature dropped 15 meters in front of them.
Harry quickly got in front of Katie and started to push her back towards the road as he kept his eye on the creature in front of them. Harry knew he could not use his wand, so he pick up an old metal pipe laying next to the path from some nearby work project. They made slow movement towards the road hoping that possible noise will alert any one in the house.
Suddenly the creature charged and Harry was just able to duck and bring the pipe up striking the creature across the muzzle, he heard bone brake as the pipe impacted, from the accidental magic enhanced swing. He did not get a chance to take another swing before being struck by one of the clawed hands, knocking him backwards down the path with deep wound across his chest.
"Harry," screamed Katie as she saw him get hit. She saw several fist sized rocks and picked one up and threw it as hard as she could, hoping it would stun the creature. The rock did find its mark and made a crunching sound as it impacted the creatures head, damaging the left eye and socket. The creature let out a raging howl at being hit twice.
Harry heard the crunch of bone as the rock impacted the creatures head. With it distracted he was able to get up and started to make his way back to Katie. He knew he needed to keep the werewolf away from Katie, seeing its head in the light finally. They needed to get away if they wanted to survive.
Both Katie and Harry made it to Town Mill lane and with Katie having two more rocks and Harry still carrying the pipe. They only made it a few steps before the werewolf caught up to them. He attacked Harry first and was able to dodge the swing of the pipe, but was only able to claw Harry again before he had rolled away. Harry was not so lucking on the next attack and the werewolf got a good hold of him and despite the broken jaw, bit into his shoulder before tossing him against the wall. The impact with the wall knocked the wind out of Harry and left him laying on the ground, with several broken ribs and lung injury. Before the werewolf could move towards Harry Katie launched another rock and caught the creature in the left side of the head again, causing more damage to the eye and socket.
The werewolf turned towards the girl, noticing she was fertile by her scent. He was able to dodge the last rock she threw, before he was on her. Katie still fought as hard as she could against the larger werewolf. She got a lucking kick in causing significant pain and injury to his bullocks. The werewolf back handed Katie, knocking her against one of the walls along the street. Several house lights further up the street turned on at the noise.
The werewolf moved over to the dazed girl and started to tear at her clothes as he was going to turn her and make her his bitch for the injuries she has caused him. No one will touch her once he was done. As the werewolf was fighting with her clothes, Harry came around. The pain in his head around his scar was excruciating making it hard to focus. He saw the creature standing over Katie with a swollen penis, he knew he needed to get the creature away from Katie. He reached out with his magic and pushed it into the pipe, trying to remember what he had read on werewolves, that would hurt them. Slowly the pipe changed into a large knife and as it changed it became a silver blade. Harry ran at the creature attempting to stab it in the back but the werewolf heard Harry approaching and turned just enough that the blade sunk deep into the left shoulder socket, cutting several of the tendons and ligaments before the blade broke hitting the bone.
The werewolf howled in pain from the burning of the metal in its shoulder along with the pain of the wound inflicted by the boy. He turned on the teen trying to grab him but could not use his left arm, but was able to knock Harry down with his right hand. Even with his increased healing rate the silver blade stuck in his shoulder prevented healing. He quickly turned and grabbed Katie biting her, as best he could with a still broken jaw. He threw her aside again causing Katie to impact the wall hard. Katie herd the crack as some of her ribs broke on impact with the wall. The first impact had injured her shoulder.
Before the werewolf could strike Katie again a large shadowy like hand reached out and grabbed the werewolf by the left arm and jerked the creature away form Katie. The werewolf was tossed away form Katie and impacted the corner of the two story house on the west side of the street. The shadow creature approached the werewolf and grabbed the injured arm again, there was a loud painful howl from the werewolf as its shoulder was torn apart even more by the new creature. The shadow creature pulled on the injured arm and then lifted the werewolf up and slammed him down on low brick walls. There were several loud crunch and cracks as multiple bones were broken on impact with the wall, and the left arm hung even more loosely from the body. The shadow creature then took hold of the werewolf and threw him towards the river Test.
There was the sound of the body hitting the water and nothing else for awhile. Seeing no more threat the shadow creature melded back into the shadows around the end of the lane leaving only the battered and injured body of a teen.
Slowly Harry was able to make his way to Katie, and he was happy to see that she was alive.
"Katie, can you move?" asked Harry with a weak voice. He was having trouble breathing still, he knew several of his ribs were broken from the impact with the wall.
"Harry?" asked Katie through clouded vision.
"Yeah. Do you think you can walk back to your house?" asked Harry through ragged breaths.
"No. Are you okay? You look and sound bad," replied Katie.
"I'm fine," answered Harry. "You are alive that is all that matters."
"Harry, you are not fine and do not lie to me," scolded Katie. "You need medical help, we both do if we are to make it back to school."
"All that matters is that you make it back to school, no one will miss me," stated Harry. "Dobby."
"What can Dobby do for the great wizard Harry Potter," answered Dobby as he arrived with a pop. Dobby then saw the two battered bodies lying on the ground.
"Dobby take Katie home to her parents and tell them we were attacked by a werewolf," instructed Harry.
"No. Harry I am not leaving you here," stated Katie. "Dobby can take us both to your tent and then he can get potions for us. Most house-elves can heal and fix many injuries." Katie finished with a fit of coughing, bring up some blood with the last cough.
The two teens laying against one another and the wall, with Dobby beside them, looking at each other eye to eye knowing that they both have sever injuries, neither wanting to leave the other. Dobby took charge and transported both of the teens to Harry's tent and into the bedroom with an enlarged bed. He then went and retrieved some pain relief potions and made each teen drink them. He then went about fixing the broken bones in the teens. It was while Dobby left to get the sleep potions that Harry and Katie closed the gap between them, as they felt this pull towards each other and kissed. They had been unaware of this pulling sensation all day as they visited with each other. Its foundation started in the Quidditch locker room, with Katie acting as protector for Harry. It became more tangible earlier today when they met at the mill. No words were spoken the message passing between the emerald green and cinnamon brown eyes was fear, caring, want, lost, admiration, recognition, and finally love, along with that last message was an accompanying warming connected sensation in their chests for the other. It was the first kiss for either of them and with this they faintly noticed a glow forming around them before they lost consciousness.

Shortly after Dobby took Katie and Harry away from Town Mill Lane there were several cracks as four Aurors arrived. They were responding to the large magic signature that was detected moments ago. As they searched the area and along the river they found were a body had exited the river on the far side from the lane. They did not find any body and lost its tracks in the under brush. They returned back to the lane and were unable to make any identification as to the type of magic use or who was casting. They returned back to the Ministry and filled their report.

Several hours later a battered and worn Fenrir Greyback staggered into his packs camp, near South Harewood. His left arm hangs limp and useless at his side, his left eye was crushed along with the socket and his lower jaw was broken in multiple places. One of the females in the pack had some healing ability and started to work on their leader. She worked on the eye and jaw first and was able to align the jaw so that it would heal correctly. Next she focused on the eye, but could do noting for the globe as it was destroyed. She was able to fix the socket. Lastly she turned her attention to the left shoulder and saw the deep wound and the severe damage of the joint and supporting tissue. She noted that the wound would not close and heal, like expected. It was then that she detected the metal blade still in the wound. The only metal that would prevent healing is silver. She called another pack member to help her retrieve the broken blade, careful not to cut anyone with blade. Once the blade was removed, she was able to close and bind the wound. Now it was time for the potions to see if they can restore the use of the arm, as she could do no more.
Later on another female, a seer in the pack approached Fenrir, in his bed. "I warned you not to go after any more children. Mórrigan said you will suffer if you attack another child."
Fenrir, looked at her and grunted for her to leave as that is all he could do at the moment. Fenrir, could not believe that he had been injured so bad by two teens. What was that shadow beast that came and almost tore his arm off, he had never seen one before. His back and ribs will take time to heal, and he noted that his balance was off on the trek home from the river. Luckily the Aurors that arrived did not know what they were looking for otherwise they would have found him only 50 feet away from where they were looking. He thought about what the seer had said. He discounted her in the past and it had not been a problem, but this time it cost him dearly, and he still did not know what he lost.

Katie and Harry woke up in a sunny meadow laying in the tall soft grass. They looked deeply at one another and shared a kiss. It was when they broke apart that they noticed that they did not have any wounds and their clothes were clean and intact. Slowly standing they looked around and across the meadow was a garden.
"Maybe we should head there?" questioned Harry.
"I see nothing else," responded Katie.
The teens headed across the warm meadow towards the garden, holding hand and enjoying the comfort it gave them. Once they arrived at the edge of the garden hedge they looked along the hedge until they found the gate into the garden. They wandered through the garden being draw to a trickling sound of running water. Their they found a sitting area next to a natural water fountain in a rock out crouping with a flowing stream.
"Welcome our children," spoke a soft feminine voice from behind them. Slowly the two teens turned around, and there sitting and standing before them were six beautiful women, each in their own distinctive dress. All of the women projected power regardless of their dress.
Both Katie and Harry were surprised to see them as they did not see them as they walked past the area to the fountain. Harry slowly started to move Katie behind him so that he was between her and the six women.
"Even so young, he will try and protect his bonded," spoke one of the standing women.
"Who are you? Where are we?" inquired Harry.
"Where you are is a enhanced dreamscape," answered another. "For the first question, we are here to correct a miss justice and to help guide you. We will explain all in order, please sit and relax as we mean you know harm."
"Who are you?" asked Katie, looking at each one, as the teens move towards the settee across from the goddesses. "I think you are Mórrigan, indicating the one standing on the left, and you are Bastet, indicating the one sitting on the end."
"Very good my child," answered Mórrigan. "I am Mórrigan, Celtic goddess of war, death, battlefield and shape-shifters. As you have indicated Bastet, Egyptian goddess protector of pregnant woman and children. Next to me is the lovely Red headed goddess Freyja, Nordic goddess of love, beauty, fertility and wealth. Beside her is Hecate, Greek goddess of wild places, crossroads and magic & witchcraft. Then we have Diwija, Mycenaean goddess of sky, wealth, rule, and finally we have Selene, Greek goddess of the moon." Hearing who they were talking to, the two teens sat in stunned silence staring at the six goddesses in front of them.
"You my children, were attacked and bitten by Fenrir Greyback," stated Selene. Katie gasp at hearing the name, she knew he was a monster from the last war from what mum said, and knew that he like to infect children with his curse. "He had been warned not to attack another child. So now he will pay a price."
"So now at the next full moon we will turn into blood thirsty monsters bent on killing or maiming our friends and family?" questioned Harry.
"No, my child. Change you will, but not into a monster," answered Mórrigan.
"The disease was changed in you my child," stated Diwija. "Mórrigan created the curse aeons ago as punishment for a most foul deed. In you the curse was mutated by the presence of a most foul piece of magic, basilisk venom, phoenix tears, presence of a Soul Bond, your magical heritage, some ancient magic protection, and finally some magic from the six of us. This new gift was shared between the two of you."
"Soul Bond?" asked Harry.
"A very special bond between two people, soul mates is the non-magical term used for the couple," responded Freyja. "You two have a nearly completed soul bond that was forced to its current state by the attack on both of you. If the attack had not occurred then you would have spent the summer in each others company and Harry you would have learned what a true loving family is like."
"So, my friend Luna was right. She said I would find my mate this summer, before we left the train," commented Harry.
"Yes, you lovely blond friend was correct," agreed Freyja. "You were to find your soul mate and start down the path of deeper friendship, dating and engagement before you both discovered your bond. Do to the attack and the power of the bond being used to bring you together earlier and to assist in changing the curse/disease/illness that is lycanthropy to what you are now, Lycans, has caused the bond to change. You both now have an even more distinct type of soul bond that has never been seen before and may never be seen again. We will talk more on it later." The two teens nod understanding that the discussion is closed on the bond.
"Change you will, not into mindless werewolves, but into something new called Lycan," stated Hecate. "Only on your first full moon will you be forced to change under its influence. This needs to occur for the gifts to finalize the bond in completing the change. After the first full moon, the rising of the full moon will not force another physical change, but will increase your abilities and traits, during this period."
"So what are the gifts we will receive from the change?" asked Harry, with caution as he knew it would not be risk free.
"You will not be mindless beasts like the traditional werewolf," stated Mórrigan. "Your mind will be present, in control all the time, and you will be able to communicate with others (to a degree). You will eventually acquire three forms: human, wolf, and hybrid, and your pack will all gain access to Animagus forms."
"Pack, as in wolf pack?" questioned Katie.
"Yes, you two are the alpha pair of this new pack," answered Mórrigan.
"There will be other changes to your health, physical abilities, magic and bodies," added Freyja. "Your sexual nature will increase to replace the blood lust. This will not be overt more along increase touching, caressing, kissing and seeking comfort or intimacy, for now. As you get older it will change."
"Katie my child, you will be able to control your cycle while in human form, it will carry over to the other forms, and you will determine the fertility of the pack with your pheromones," stated Bastet. "Harry my child, your pheromones will set dominance over the pack and will cause female of the pack or females willing to joint the pack to seek penetration and knotting."
"So no more periods or PMS?" inquired/stated Katie, liking the sound of this
"Yes," answered Bastet. Katie pumped her fist at this news.
"How will we not be called dark, shunned, and treated like other werewolves?" asked Katie.
"How do werewolves cause problems?" asked Mórrigan.
"During a full moon they fall prey to the blood lust and, their bite will infect all that are bitten," answered Katie.
"Your bite is not infectious per say. It is deadly to a werewolf," replied Mórrigan.
"What Mórrigan, is trying to say is that your bite alone will not infect another person; witch, wizard or muggle," clarified Selene. "First the person must be willing to accept the change, of their own free will, that you offer, so biting in anger or furry will not infect the person. You must be in wolf or hybrid form to pass on the change. There are two ways to pass on the change; first the willing person must be bitten by both of you at the same time, second the willing person but be engaged sexually and internalize your secretions at orgasm when you bite them."
Katie and Harry turned bright red in the face with the blush moving down their necks and into their chest, it was so pronounced. The six goddess all just smirked at the embarrassment of the teens as they realised what was said to pass on the change/gift.
"Now some of the changes you both will notice when you wake up," started Diwija. "You both will be fully healed from the encounter. Harry your vision will be corrected and improved, along with your temperament with that foul magic removed. You both will be very hunger for the next few days as you will need to fuel the change and in Harry's case to repair the damage to his body by his relatives."
"After the next full moon you will discover the rest of the benefits from the change," added Hecate. "You will discover the ability to transform at will between your three forms. We will leave your wolf form for you to identify. During the night of the full moon your bond will strengthen substantially, as you have the rarest form of a soul bond. We will talk more on that later, and the pack aspect, closer to the full moon."
"Harry, one last gift for you after the next full moon," said Freyja. "You will be able to slowly access the knowledge that was contained in that piece of foul magic, it will reveal all of the secrets of the one known as Tom Riddle."
"Now it is time to send you back. Seek Elvina and Philip as soon as you can," instructed Mórrigan. "Also seek out your account manager at Gringotts, there is much to discuss and acted on."
