Holly's *P.O.V*
This is it!
I stood in front of a large, flat clearing. The full moon was clearly visible in the night sky. Pack members surrounded Zach, who was standing on the other edge of the clearing.
The pack moved away to create a path for me. I took my time as I slowly walked over to him.
I had already been told what was going to happen. I was to fight him; of course I wasn't supposed to win. I mean he IS the Alpha. He told me to use everything I knew to last long. I was supposed to last just long enough for the pack to accept my position as the Alpha Female. I chose my outfit, knowing fully well that I wouldn't return with them intact. I showed up with jean shorts and a light blue tank top, nothing special. I was a little nervous to be fighting, but this is where taking self-defense classes in school would pay off.
After the fight, we were to have sex and as I was in my climax Zach would bite down on the soft part where my shoulder and neck join. Like when we mated. He was to do it with the intent of infecting me. And then, we would wait under the full moon, and at exactly midnight, I would shift.
I finally stood at the edge of the circle. Zach then spoke. "Pack members! We have gathered here to celebrate the acceptance of your new Alpha, my mate Holly! Do you accept?" He called, his voice echoing through the clearing.
"Show us her strength!!!" The pack said as one, cheers echoed throughout the clearing.
I stood at the edge and waited. Expecting him to make the first move. When he did, he was in front of me, and without thinking I stopped on his foot with as much force as I could muster. I quickly brought out my arm and shot out at his head. He quickly ducked.
He reached out his hands to grab me and I quickly dodged and stepped back a few paces. I didn't let him make the first move this time, so I lunged for the only thing I could think of that wasn't a weapon, his throat. The attack took him by surprise, but he quickly grabbed me about the waist. I struggled in his grip and stomped on his foot again. He still wouldn't let go so I turned my head and bit him on the shoulder hard, I tasted blood.
He reluctantly let go, with a smile on his face. As I was freed, he brought out a fist that I immediately ducked and I then sent a punch to his chest. I knew it wouldn't do much, but I did it anyway. As quickly as I was freed though, I was caught again. I struggled furiously and he chuckled. He was actually enjoying this!
"Give up." He whispered, tearing my tank top away.
I still struggled a little, trying to hold on to my dignity. But then I was lying flat on the ground with Zach hovering above me, pinning my arms and legs to the ground.
I looked into his dark green eyes, and all I saw was love. I relaxed in his grip and he leaned in for the kiss. Sparks flew, and howls reverberated as the pack members accepted their new Madam Alpha. I felt Zach rip off my shorts with growing claws as he shifted. When my shorts were nothing but a shredded pile around me, the wolf flipped me over and onto my hands and knees.
I let out a gasp of pleasure as he plunged his enlarged cock into the growing wetness between my legs. I cried out as each plunge pushed me closer and closer to release. The sound of rutting wolves filled the clearing, and I took a second to take in my surroundings.
There were couples fucking everywhere! Moans and cries could be heard continuously as they all were reaching for the pinnacle. I returned my attention to my own sexual experience, and screamed out my release as I bared my neck. I felt the bite during the throes of ecstasy and it added a new feeling of pain along with the usual feeling of pleasure.
After he released me, I felt a stirring inside me and gasped, clutching chest.
"It's ok." Zach comforted me, pulling me into his chest, "Your wolf is making herself known to you."
I breathed in his scent and relaxed, he smelled of the forest.
"We have about two more hours until midnight, and then you will be stuck as your wolf for the next week. Well that is what usually happens; sometimes it takes longer for you to learn how to shift back."
"What?" I gasped pulling away, "You never told me that!"
"I didn't?" he asked, his eyes shining with fake innocence.
"So I will be a drooling dog for a week?" I smiled, "I wonder how you will take the silent treatment?"
"I will try to survive." He smirked.

My sense of hearing strengthened first. I almost flinched when a rock moved or the wind whistled in my ear.
My sight increased next. I could see everything more clearly than before.
Then there was my taste. When the Omegas had cooked food over a bonfire they set up, the flavors of the meat literally sang on my tongue.
All of this happened in the first hour.
During the second hour before midnight, the so called "Mating Bond" appeared. I could feel Zach's thoughts and emotions. Apparently he could hear mine too.
I hated the way I would have to shield my thoughts if I didn't want to hear them. I mean PRIVACY!!!
The few minutes before midnight were starting to pass. I was so excited but there was also a sense of dread.
For the last ten minutes before midnight, I had to stand in the middle of the clearing... NAKED! I know I am supposed to get over the whole modesty thing but it is hard not to be self-conscious when over 100 werewolves were watching your every move.
It seemed like forever but it was finally 1 minute to midnight. The pack members were counting down softly. "50-49-48-47-46"
I thought the suspense was going to kill me!
It was time now. The beast within me was stirring.
"5-4-3-2β1"
I fell to the ground shaking. The wolf was tearing into my body. I felt the pain of the first shift. My bones were popping and snapping, rearranging themselves. It was total agony as claws started spouting and my hands and feet turned into paws. I was convulsing and shuddering as my skull expanded and reshaped itself. A snout grew on my face and fur was starting to pop up all over my body.
This wasn't those quick shifts that the others did.
It was slow and painful. When I finally shifted completely. I was panting and I collapsed onto the ground. I whimpered.
I lay on the ground to catch my breath and then clawed up onto four paws. I shook myself like a dog that just came out of a lake, and stood staring at the pack members.
There faces were one of awe. It was a bit uncomfortable.
I felt a hand on my side and jumped back to face the enemy growling. I stopped at once when I recognized Zach and cowered with my ears laid back.
He forgave me of course, and then patted my head. I licked his hand.
"Holly is now one of us!" He boomed, "Is she accepted as your new Alpha?"
"She is accepted" The pack murmured and bowed one by one, until the whole pack was on their knees.

"The run will begin!" Zach called, "Shift."
With that all the pack members shifted. I watched intently as the pack changed.
I wonder what I look like.
"You are a red wolf Holly." Zach murmured. "The pack has never seen one before. They are supposedly almost as rare as the white wolf, but many people thought they were extinct." He smiled, "You are truly full of surprises."
He sent me a picture of my wolf with the bond.
My fur was redder than my strawberry blonde hair as a human. My belly and chest was white, and so were my paws. They were like little socks, but they only covered the paw and not the arm or leg.
I was breathtaking.
"The run has begun!" Zach called, before shifting.
He nudged me with his snout and I followed him to the edge of the trees.
