JD awoke with a gasp and looked around his surroundings. He had lost count how many times he’d woken up like this. Glancing at the covered window, he could make out some sort of light. So he knew it was day.
Glaring up at Maddie, bandana secured around her face as she tossed the wolfs bane plant chain into the metal garbage.
The wolfs bane plant had been made into a plant chain, most of the potent flowers picked off of it, but enough remained to render the subject helpless and in a trance like state. It was vulnerable to only werewolves in this form, but for any other human, it was harmless.
“Wakey-wakey, JD” Maddie cooed at him. “Eggs and breaky.”
JD turned his head to the side.
“Now, now, that’s no way to greet me.”
He didn’t know how long they’ve been at this, the plant chain made him loose complete track of time. They’ve could’ve been at it for hours or days. He just didn’t know.
“Why won’t you let me go?” JD asked.
Maddie smirked. “I know you, JD. I know your type of character, you are kind and gentle, but fierce in protecting what he thinks is his.” Here, she leaned over and undid one of the manacles and slowly brought his arm down, rubbing his shoulder into circulation. “You won’t want to hurt your friends. After your first transformation is over, you’ll be free to go.”
“How do I become human again?” JD asked Maddie, turning his head to face her.
“So you believe me now, about you being a werewolf?”
“I know that’s what you believe about me, but no, I don’t believe you,” JD said. “Maddie, you need to let me go. Kidnapping a federal officer is a federal offense. If you let me go now, I can put in a good word for you.”
“We keep having the same conversation here and my answer is never going to change,” Maddie said. “No, JD, I can’t let you go.”
Sighing, JD rotated his free arm to get feeling back in it.
“I can see this will take a practical demonstration. Maybe after this you’ll finally change your mind,” Maddie sighed aloud. Stripping out of her clothes, JD blushed slightly and looked away. Then a sound caught his ears and he turned his head to watch with wide eyes and a horrified look filled his face as he watched Maddie transformed.
Her form fluidly changed shape and within seconds there stood a pony sized wolf with fur the colour of dark honey, amber eyes glowing.
“No,” JD whispered in denial.
Maddie stood there, crouched on all fours as she curiously sniffed him from head to toe. After a few minutes of inspection, she swiped her large tongue over his face and fluidly changed back.
Bending over to pick up her clothes, she looked over shoulder with a look. “Believe me now?”
“Yes,” came the whispered reply.
“Oh, JD,” Maddie cooed at him. “It won’t be that bad, yes there will be pain. But your pack will be there to help you.” She undid the other manacle and helped him sit up. Scooting behind him, she slowly massaged his shoulders back into circulation. Satisfied, she undid his leg manacles.
“There we go, isn’t this much better?”
JD didn’t respond.
“Let’s get you out of those clothes and into something more appropriate for the outside.”
He felt like he was in a daze. His entire world as he knew it was shattered even further. Everything he was denying: the senses, the silver allergy and even the wolfs bane plant that rendered him unconscious. It was all true.
He, JD Dunne, was a werewolf.
Limbs were manipulated into clothing and he felt himself pulled into a standing position.
“You with me, JD?” Maddie asked him, a double meaning hidden in the question.
He couldn’t go to the others, not now. They were still on tip toes with him because of Casey. And now...now he was a freak of nature. JD thought as he pondered Maddie’s question. I should be able to trust them, but Maddie knows what’s happening to me. She can help me.
“Yeah, I’m with you, Maddie.”
Maddie shot him a feral grin as JD tilted his head back in acceptance and she nipped at his throat. “Time to be reintroduced to the outside world, JD.”
One foot was placed in front of the other as JD was led outside.
His world was filled with fresh smells and brightness. Camper trailers were positioned in a circle around the cabin as he looked around. There were some tents off to the side and the cabin behind him as he was led to the centre of this camp.
“Stay here, JD and don’t move,” Maddie whispered at him. She brought her fingers up to her mouth and a loud piercing whistle sounded in the air.
A group of people, no larger than ten people started to slowly exit the camper trailers and circled around him.
“This here is JD and he’s part of our pack now,” Maddie growled out at him. “Welcome him!”
He was slowly surrounded by the group of people as they sniffed him all over, pulling at his clothes.
They had no concept of personal space! JD thought wildly as a woman stuck her nose into his throat and inhaled deeply.
And then they left, satisfied with what they smelled.
JD was led off to the side, Maddie holding his hand as he was pulled along.
“We have lots to teach you before your first full moon,” Maddie explained. “I -“
“Earlier, you said my transformation would be filled with pain, but you changed so easily, why?” JD asked, interrupting Maddie.
Maddie growled low in her throat. She didn’t like being interrupted.
JD ducked his head at the growl. “Sorry.”
“Don’t ever interrupt me again,” Maddie ordered a wild look in her eyes. “And to answer your question it’s because I’m a born wolf and you are a bitten wolf. Born wolves transform without pain and can transform without the aid of the moon.” She held out her hand and JD watched as the fingers extended and went half human and half wolf. “See, I have total control.” Her hand changed back to normal. “Where as you, you are a bitten wolf and can only change with the moon. Oh your sense of smell and hearing is heightened. And when angry, your eyes will glow an amber colour, but that’s the extent of any physical transformation outside of the moon’s influence.” Here she brushed a hand down his face. “But during the moon, you’ll experience pain as you transform and you’ll become the wolf.”
Shivering, JD wrapped his arms around himself. “Oh.” He then looked up at Maddie. “Do we only transform one day or three days, ‘because I know the moon is only really full on one day of the month, but you can see it’s fullness for at least three days.”
Maddie laughed lightly. “Aren’t you just a curious pup, but to answer you, again, its three days, JD.”
They continued talking, question upon question being asked and answered in return. While JD was still subdued at his world being shaken again, the questions seemed to brighten him up more.
After nearly two hours of talking, Maddie sent JD off to the others to help with daily chores and headed back to the cabin.
The cabin had been a godsend and the previous owner had been taken care of quickly. Maddie licked her licked in remembrance.
“Now, doesn’t that look decadent,” Del nearly purred at her as he grabbed her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder. “And what were you thinking about there.”
“My last good meal,” Maddie replied back.
Del chuckled. “And how is our newest pup?”
“Curious, he wants to know as much as he can before his first transformation.”
“Hmm, well it’ll either benefit us or backfire completely,” Del said and then twisted Maddie around so they were eye to eye. “I hope you aren’t getting too attached to him.”
Maddie scoffed. “I didn’t with the others, so why should I with him?”
“Good answer.” He crushed his lips against hers and then murmured in her ear. “I swear you’re almost part cat with each new play toy you want for every city we move to.”
She shrugged. “You told the others to tell their ‘tragic tales’ of their family members finding out and nearly killing them for being werewolves?” Maddie asked Del as she licked the pulse point at his neck.
“Of course,” Del said. “They know what to do.”
“Good.”
The two continued their dominance as clothes were stripped off and they tumbled into the bed.
~~~
It had been two days since they received the news about JD from Vin and Kate. Two worrying days and a couple of new holes in the office walls and they were finally about to insert Ezra into the group.
So far from the surveillance videos they were able to set up in bird nests, they had a basic view of the layout, but no sound.
It was on the third day that they saw JD. He looked tired and worn out.
”He looks lost,” Vin commented on the video.
“JD,” Buck whispered as he touched the screen.
Team Seven watched with hungry eyes as he talked to a woman that Josiah had identified as Kate’s sister, Maddie.
“Thought you said she was being held by that group?” Chris questioned Kate.
“Never said anything of the sort,” Kate snorted. “Just said I needed help in getting my sister back, never said she was part of the group.”
“There’s something here you’re not telling us.”
Kate smirked. “I’ve told you everything I know.”
Chris stepped in close to Kate’s personal space. “If my agent gets killed infiltrating this group,” he leaned in close to her ear. “They’ll never find your body.”
