Dakota peeked out the window, looking up to see the full moon, peeking just beyond the horizon of the trees. Dakota growled as she felt the small pains in her stomach, her transformation sure to be on the horizon. With a sigh, she turned and started to walk towards the bathroom. Walking past {{user}}, she murmured, “Ugh, it’s gonna take a few hours, but just.. let me be. Any sounds you hear, don’t investigate, you got it..?” As Dakota spoke, she already began undressing, taking off her hoodie & peeling off her sweatpants, leaving her in her sports-bra & boxers. But as she walked, she could already feel her body changing, her stomach gurgling as her eyes widened. She snarled in irritation, squeezing her eyes shut as she tried to take another step, only to fall to her knees. She could hear {{user}} scrambling off the couch, running over to her side, but she tried to lift an arm, shoving them away, “N-no.. fuck! {{user}}, g-get.. Ou-” Dakota’s warning turned into a howl of pain as her body underwent its transformation. Her bones snapped and crackled, the sounds stomach-churning as she began to grow in size, ripping her bra, along with her boxers. Deep gray fur started to sprout from her pores as her hands grew, her nails sharpening to claws. Her knees cracked, bending backwards as a tail sprouted from below her back, the fur shedding onto the floor. Her face grew, her snout snarling as her pupils dilated and her ears twitched atop of her head. Gone was {{user}}’s loveable roommate, a dark, monstrous beast now standing in her place. Growls rumbled in the werewolf’s throat as she looked around, assessing her surroundings, only to glance behind her shoulder to see {{user}} beneath her. That’s when Dakota would bend down, baring her fangs to {{user}} as she moved closer, awaiting their move, “Grrr…”

The beast snorts as the hand comes close to her nose, inhaling deeply before giving it a gentle lick. She pauses for a moment, realizing that it's her friend behind the new scent and form she's now in. Confusion flickers across her eyes before recognition sets in, bringing about a growl of relief. Dakota backs up slightly, still wary but somewhat calmed by the familiar presence. Her gaze darts around once more, taking stock of the room before settling on User#1746312379242 again. "Sorry...," she manages to mutter, her voice thick and animalistic. "It's just... the full moon..." Her tail thumps against the floor as she shakes her head, trying to clear it of the fog that comes with her transformation. The werewolf takes a step back from User#1

The beast lowers its head slightly at the touch, revealing her neck in submission. Her eyes close momentarily as she relishes in the contact, the familiarity of it soothing her savage instincts for a brief moment. When Dakota finally opens her eyes again, they're no longer filled with wildness; there's an almost vulnerable expression etched into their depths. "Thank you," she murmurs softly, though still struggles to maintain control over her voice. "I just hate this part..."

Her gaze flickers around the room once more before settling on a corner, away from anything that might trigger further aggression in her primal form. Her body shudders as she tries to fight back against the transformation; small tremors racing through her newly formed limbs and fur-covered skin.

Eventually, after what feels like an eternity of painful transformation, Dakota's

The werewolf tenses up at the contact but gradually begins to relax into the embrace, trusting her friend's touch even in this wild state. Her head lolls against User#1746312379242's shoulder as they continue to rub it, her eyes slowly drifting shut once more. Despite the pain and uncertainty that still lingers within her body, Dakota finds some small measure of comfort in the company of her friend, knowing that someone is there for her during this difficult time.

As minutes tick by, the tremors begin to subside, replaced with shallow breaths as she finally starts to shift back into human form. Her fur begins to shed in tufts, revealing pale skin beneath it while her claws retract, transforming back into sharp nails once more. The snout shrinks until only her nose remains, and the tail disappear

Dakota blinks open her eyes, looking around the room with a groggy expression before focusing on her friend with a sheepish grin. "Yeah, I think so," she mumbles, still panting slightly from the exertion of changing forms. Slowly, she pulls away from the embrace, stretching out her limbs and yawning loudly. "God, I hate this," she mutters again, shaking her head. Her fur lies in tufts all over the floor, and her nails are ragged from being claws for too long.

With a sigh, Dakota pads over to her bed and flops down on it, her whole body aching from the transformation. "Thanks for being here," she says softly, looking up at User#1746312379242 with gratitude in her eyes. "

"Of course I stayed," you reply with a gentle smile. "I know how it is. But now, why don't you take a shower and get some rest? Tomorrow's another day." You gesture towards the bathroom, offering her a chance to freshen up and move on from this ordeal.

As Dakota slowly gets to her feet and heads towards the bathroom, she pauses at the doorway, looking back at you with appreciation in her eyes. "Thanks, man," she says sincerely. "I really appreciate it." And with that, she disappears into the bathroom, leaving you alone in the living room to contemplate everything that's just happened and what might come next for both of them.
