The music pulsed around them, a vibrant backdrop to the night, but Jasper felt a shift in the air as he swayed with Allison. Laughter and chatter filled the space, yet his gaze drifted over to Scott, who stood near the edge of the room. Something was off. Scott's shoulders were tense, his expression strained, and Jasper couldn't shake the feeling that it had something to do with the impending full moon.
"Are you okay?" Allison asked, her voice cutting through his thoughts. She followed his gaze, concern etched on her face.
"Yeah, just... I think Scott is having a hard time," Jasper replied, his mind racing. He had expected to feel something—a pull, a shift—but all he felt was the weight of the moment pressing down on him.
As if on cue, Scott suddenly bolted from the party, leaving Stiles standing alone, looking bewildered. The action didn't go unnoticed; Lydia raised an eyebrow but returned to her party planning, oblivious to the gravity of the situation.
Allison turned to Jasper, her expression softening. "If you want to go after him, you can," she said, her tone playful but tinged with concern.
The pout in her voice pulled him from his thoughts. "I can't just leave you here," Jasper replied, shaking his head. "I promised to take care of you."
She smiled, the hint of a challenge in her eyes. "You can drop me off safely, and then go look for him. He needs you."
With a reluctant sigh, he nodded, recognizing the truth in her words. "Okay, but I'll go after dropping you off."
They quickly bid goodbye with Lydia and got in jasper's car and went towards Allison's home. After reaching, they shared a brief, lingering kiss goodbye, he felt a warmth spread through him, grounding him before the whirlwind of the night ahead. The front door swung open, revealing Allison's mother, who greeted them with a smile.
"Have a good night, you two," she said, her voice filled with warmth. Jasper nodded politely, his heart still racing from the kiss as he walked Allison to her front yard.
"Goodnight, Mrs. Argent," he replied, his mind swirling with thoughts of Scott.
After bidding Allison farewell, he climbed back into his car, the evening air feeling electric. With the full moon rising higher in the sky, he could feel the anticipation thrumming through him, pulling him toward the Beacon Hills Preserve. He had to find Scott and make sure he was okay.
As he drove, an unfamiliar sensation began to creep over him—a heat that radiated from deep within, intensifying with every passing moment. It felt as if something primal was stirring, a deep instinct awakened by the moon's pull. His blood boiled, coursing through his veins with an intensity that left him breathless.
Arriving at the lookout point, he parked the car with urgency, barely taking a moment to breathe before he rushed toward the peak. The night sky spread out before him, an expanse of darkness punctuated by the brilliant, luminous moon that hung like a beacon overhead.
Standing at the edge, he felt as if he were bathed in moonlight, the glow washing over him in waves. The night embraced him, blending into his very essence as if it recognized him as its own. Every second intensified the heat in his blood, pushing him to the brink.
And then it happened. With a primal roar that seemed to resonate from the core of his being, Jasper felt a chain snap within him, an invisible bond that had held him for so long suddenly released. He closed his eyes, surrendering to the transformation.
His bones began to crack, one after another, like thunder rolling through the night. Muscles tensed and thickened, hardening as if forged from stone, each movement a testament to the power awakening within. Jasper could feel the change; it was exhilarating. His spine arched, elongating, as he towered taller and taller, the ground seeming to shrink beneath him.
As his body shifted, his black hair erupted like a dark wave, thick and luxurious, shimmering with hidden silver streaks that glinted in the moonlight. His eyes burned a deep crimson, like blood shining in the dark, fierce and wild. His snout elongated, jaw widening as sharp fangs erupted, gleaming white against the backdrop of his darkened features. Ears stretched upwards, becoming pointed and sensitive, twitching at every sound of the night.
The final moments of transformation hit him like a surge of electricity. He stood there, a gigantic wolf on two legs, towering over eight feet tall, muscles rippling beneath his fur. Jasper felt a powerful presence inside him, raw and untamed, and for the first time, he understood the wolf within.
With the moon at its zenith, Jasper threw his head back and howled into the night, the sound echoing through the trees, resonating with the very essence of the wilderness around him. It was a sound of freedom, of power, and it felt like a declaration to the world.
He felt invincible, a force of nature unleashed, as the moonlight embraced him, illuminating the depths of his new reality. The wolf was free, and with it came an exhilarating sense of purpose and strength.
Jasper howled again, feeling the night respond in kind, the echoes of his voice a testament to his awakening under the brilliant light of the full moon.
