Judy's POV

"We have to get him outside," Gavin said, his face twisted with concern as he stared down at Matt.

Matt was about to shift into his wolf for the first time, and he wasn't even 8 years old yet. No wolf had ever surfaced before the age of 18, so this was something neither of us expected to ever happen... especially not to Matt. He was screaming and growling as his bones broke and snapped into a new place. The pain that was evident on his small face was heartbreaking to see.

I nodded in agreement to Gavin's words, but moving him wasn't going to be easy.

The first shift was always the most painful; seeing it happen to someone so young was gut-wrenching.

I helped Gavin lift Matt into his arms; Matt squirmed and screamed in agony as his snapping bones sounded in the room. As we hurried out of the room, Irene was still sobbing and covering her mouth with her hands. Something weird was happening, and I couldn't help the nasty feeling I was getting in the pit of my stomach. But I pushed it aside for right now and focused my attention on Matt.

Irene followed after us as we made our way down the stairs and towards the back door. As we reached the outside, Gavin placed Matt on the ground and stepped back. I could see the turmoil and worry on his face, his eyes never leaving Matt's face.

"It's going to be okay," I said softly. "He'll be okay..."

Gavin nodded, swallowing hard. I watched his Adam's apple bob as he did so. Matt's howl brought my attention back to him, and I saw fur breaking free from his delicate skin. I knew it felt like razors piercing his flesh. The wolf's fur was sharp, and it hurt during the first shift.

Irene stood off to the side, watching in horror as her brother transformed for the first time.

It felt like an eternity had gone by before Matt was finally fully shifted.
