The Wolf In Me: A Blessing or Curse?

John Hall always had a peaceful life. Outside of the typical drama that a college-age student might encounter, his life was quite peaceful. Unfortunately, fate had another plan. After a sequence of devastating natural disasters, several fissures opened throughout the world, and countless hostile creatures poured out of them. Faced with no other option, humanity was forced to declare a state of emergency, and unite to face a new threat to humanity. Shortly after, a mandatory draft is instated, and John unwillingly gets dragged into a conflict he could never have imagined. Unbeknownst to John, this would change his life forever. After a brief military training session, and briefing on their first mission, John enters a battalion and heads to battle. However, things don't go as planned, and after an accident, John becomes something... Unhuman.

A Lazy Start

*BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP*

The sound of the alarm on John's bedside table blares incessantly.

"Ugh... Can't I get a little more sleep?" John asks as he rolls over to silence the alarm.

After silencing the alarm, he decided to stay in bed for a little longer. John wasn't sleeping but was rather just enjoying the comfort of his bed before he starts his day. A stray ray of sunlight penetrated the blinds, lighting up his small room. He glances at the alarm after several minutes of enjoying the peace and discovers it's already been 10 minutes. The clock now reads 7:10, and he has class at 8:15.

After savoring the moment, John finally manages to drag himself out of bed while grumbling. John begins his day by making his way over to his wardrobe. He never considered himself to be overly fancy, and almost always dressed in casual sporty clothing, unless the situation proved inappropriate. He selected just a basic pair of black shorts, and a dark purple sports shirt. Satisfied with his outfit, he headed towards the door to make his way to the shower.

Opening the door, he was met with the smell of something being prepared for breakfast. His roommate, Ryan must already be awake. John didn't know Ryan before they met at their university and quickly became friends due to them living together and pursuing the same field of study.

John thought to himself, 'I wonder if he made any extra for me?'. John's stomach also questioned this as it immediately rumbled as if it read his mind. 'I'll see after I get done in the shower', John thought.

John made his way to the shower and proceeded to freshen up. Afterward, fueled by hunger, he quickly made his way into the kitchen to find Ryan was already enjoying his meal. Fortunately for John, Ryan made him a portion as well.

"Well, good morning sleeping beauty" Ryan teased. "Glad you decided to finally wake up!"

"I'm sorry, you know I'm not a morning person. Thank you for making an extra plate for me." John stated.

With a smirk, Ryan responded, "Well someone has to feed you, we all know if it wasn't for me, you'd never eat a healthy breakfast."

John just laughed. He appreciated Ryan's help but didn't think the Bacon, Egg, and Cheese omelet was exactly healthy. John wasn't about to complain, however, and made his way to the table and sat down. He glanced at the clock on the wall and noticed that he only had 30 minutes till his first class, and proceeded to quickly eat. Between bites, Ryan and John talked about school, their schedule, and anything that crossed their minds. It's currently the beginning of another school year, but this isn't their first year. Both Ryan and John are currently Sophomores and have been living together since last year.

Finishing up, John thanked Ryan before spraying off his plate and leaving to get his bag from his room. After grabbing it, he quickly headed back out and shouted, "I'll see you later Ryan! Maybe we can grab lunch later too!"

"Sounds good to me! I'll let you know if I can make it!" Ryan responded.

With that, John swung open the door and headed out towards his first period.

Hello, the author here. I'm currently a student myself like the John in the story. I decided to write because it seemed like it could be fun, and provide valuable writing experience. I have quite a few ideas for the story that might be a little different from other werewolf stories on the site.

If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, feel free to tell me! Thanks so much for reading!
