I can't sleep. It's a full moon and that means the werewolves are out to kill. And I'm one of them. I look out of my window, the moon is shining bright. It's beautiful but deadly. Oh no. It's happening. My claws start growing, my body becomes hairier, my personality becomes deadly. I let out a loud howl. I can't control myself when I'm a wolf. I'm apart of the Omega pack, I'm not as deadly as an Alpha, but still. On nights like this I'm on a rampage, basically killing anything I see. 'ORWOOOOO' oh no. It's Phillip, one of my best friends, he's found the Alpha, and the Alpha is killing him. I run as fast as I can until I reach Phillip. Two other Omega's, Maddie and Ryan, are trying to save Phillip. Behind them is the Alpha's home. It's a church that burnt down in 1965. The Alpha notices me and let's go of Phillip and chases me into the church. He pins me to the ground and says in a very, very deep voice 'Any last words?' It says. 'Yes,' it looks at me with confusion. I scratch his throat and throw him against the wall. I then whisper into his ear 'I'm the Alpha now.'
