Oliver felt pain all over his body. Every fiber in him pulsed, moved, and pulled to create an inevitable change. Slowly, his fur grew everywhere, creeping out of his skin pores and growing into thick, smooth, and red fur.
He felt his fangs grow, protruding from his upper and lower gums. All his teeth shifted and quickly grew into sharp teeth that could easily tear anything apart. Oliver felt his heart beating hard and fast. In a blink of an eye, he transformed into a majestic and powerful red wolf.
The change was not unfamiliar to Oliver. He had turned into a wolf so many times before, but the pain was always the same every time it happened. There was a sense of panic tickling in his chest, as if his body had taken over control and he lost control of himself.
However, over time, the pain began to ease and was replaced by immeasurable strength. Oliver felt adrenaline pumping through his body, giving him incredible strength and speed. He jumped around and felt the ground beneath his feet shake when he landed.
In his wolf body, Oliver felt free and wild, liberated from the constraints that always bound him as a human. He felt alive and connected to the nature around him, as if he had returned to his roots as a pure wolf.
But, at the same time, there was a feeling of loneliness and sadness creeping in. Oliver knew that as a red wolf, he would always be separated from the human he loved. He would always be a different and alien creature, unable to peacefully coexist in both worlds.
However, at this moment, Oliver couldn't think about it. He just enjoyed the strong and beautiful feeling that flowed through him as he transformed into a red wolf, and felt the strength and freedom that he could only find in the form of a wolf.
Grrrgghhhh ….
Grghhhh ….
The typical growling sound of a wolf rose and made Alex a little scared. Strange, but Oliver was so beautiful with his red fur.
"You are so beautiful," said Alex in amazement.
Somehow, Alex approached and trusted his instincts that Oliver would not attack him. Despite his scary fangs, Alex was not deterred in the slightest.
"You won't hurt me, I know it!" said Alex confidently.
Oliver felt relieved when Alex remained calm even though he was in the form of a wolf. He replied with a warm wolfish voice, "Thank you, Alex. And you're right, I won't hurt you. You have a brave heart to approach me like this." Oliver was happy that Alex accepted his condition so smoothly and didn't make a fuss about it.
Alex smiled and stroked Oliver's head. "You're still you, no matter what form you take. And I like you, wolf or not."
Oliver felt warmth in his heart hearing Alex's words. He felt very lucky to have someone like Alex by his side. "Thank you, Alex. You're one of a kind," he said in a wolfish voice.
Alex chuckled, "I could say the same about you, my dear wolf. We make a great team, don't we?"
Oliver nodded his head in agreement, "Yes, we do. We complement each other in ways no one else can."
Alex leaned in closer, "And that's why I'll always be here for you, no matter what challenges come our way."
Oliver smiled, feeling grateful for Alex's unwavering support. "I appreciate that more than words can express. Thank you, Alex."
Alex smiled warmly at Oliver, "You're welcome, my love. We've been through a lot together,
Oliver nodded, "Me neither. It's comforting to know that no matter what happens, I can always count on you to have my back."
Oliver felt a bit tired after talking to Alex for a few hours, so he changed back into his human form. In a few seconds, the fur on his body disappeared, his sharp claws and teeth turned back into human form, and his tail shrunk and disappeared.
After a while, Oliver felt a bit weak from the recent transformation, but he was relieved that he could talk to Alex more easily now. "So, I want to talk to you about something, Alex," Oliver said after a few moments of silence.
"Sure, what is it?" Alex asked kindly.
"I want to introduce you to my family. They're a very strong pack in this area and I think you'll like them," Oliver said with a big smile on his face.
Alex looked a bit surprised, "Oh, wow. That would be an interesting experience. Of course, I'd be happy to meet your family."

Mansion of Red Pack
Narrator
Oliver and Alex finally arrived at the Red Pack Mansion after driving for a few hours. As they entered the yard, Oliver felt an unusual sense of anxiety. He felt that something was not right here, although he didn't know exactly what it was.
As they walked towards the front door, they were stopped by a group of mysterious-looking people. They wore black robes and masks that covered their faces. Oliver tried to show bravery and confronted them.
"Who are you? Why are you blocking us?" Oliver asked firmly.
"Now, who are you to enter our territory without permission?" one of the people answered coldly and firmly.
Oliver felt a bit taken aback by their firmness. He had never dealt with other packs before who acted like this. However, he still tried to maintain his calm attitude.
"My name is Oliver, I am the leader of the Red Pack. I came here to visit my parents," Oliver explained.
"They are no longer here," the person answered coldly.
Oliver felt surprised and at a loss for words. Alex tried to calm Oliver down.
"Please, explain to me what happened," Oliver asked a bit stutteringly.
However, the person didn't give a clear answer. They just gave a key and told Oliver to enter the mansion. Oliver and Alex felt a bit nervous but they dared to step inside.
As they entered the mansion, they saw extraordinary beauty. A large room with white marble floors, luxurious-looking sofas, and paintings hanging on the walls made them stunned. However, they also felt that something was not right here.
"This mansion here looks fancy, but also real mysterious," said Alex.
Oliver agreed with Alex's statement. He felt the same uneasiness as before and felt like something was being hidden from them. However, he didn't know exactly what it was and how to deal with it.
They walked deeper into the mansion and found several locked doors. They tried to open them, but all of them were tightly locked.
"Something's off here," said Oliver.
"Maybe we should be careful," suggested Alex.
They continued to walk into the mansion and tried to find out more about what was happening. However, they didn't find any clear answers. The mansion looked like a huge maze, and they felt more trapped in it.
"I don't know, is mom decorating our mansion?" wondered Oliver.
Oliver felt more pressured with the situation. He knew he had to find out what was happening in this mansion, but he didn't know where to start.
"We have to figure out what's going on here," said Oliver with a slightly trembling voice.
"What can we do? All the doors are locked, and we don't have much time," replied Alex.
Oliver thought for a moment and then decided to look for another key that could unlock the locked doors. He ordered Alex to look for a key in another room while he himself looked for one in the room they were in.
As Oliver was searching for the key, he suddenly heard strange noises coming from behind a locked door. He tried to open the door, but failed.
"Alex, I need your help here!" called Oliver.
Alex came into the room and helped Oliver open the locked door. When the door opened, they saw a dark room that looked like a secret laboratory.
They saw some people who were conducting strange experiments with human bodies. Oliver and Alex were very surprised and felt that they had to get out of this mansion immediately.
However, as they tried to leave the mansion, they were intercepted by a group of people who looked stronger and more dangerous than before.
"You two ain't gonna get outta here alive," said one of them in a cold voice.
Oliver and Alex felt that they were in great danger. They tried to find a safe way out, but they didn't know where to go.
"Let's try to get out of here. We have to be quick," said Oliver firmly.
They ran as fast as they could and tried to find a way out of the mansion. However, they were still being chased by a mysterious and dangerous group of people.
"Are you sure this is your house?" asked Alex as they kept running.
"I'm not sure now. I think I need to transform. Get ready and jump on my back, Alex!" commanded Oliver.
Alex was a bit confused by Oliver's command, but she quickly turned off her mind and did it. She jumped on Oliver's back and hugged him tightly.
Suddenly, Oliver turned into a big and powerful wolf. The wolf ran fast and agile, avoiding the attacks of the mysterious followers.
Alex felt scared and frightened, but she knew that Oliver would protect her well. She held onto Oliver's fur tightly and tried to stay calm on the wolf's back.
A few minutes later, they managed to get out of the mansion and fled into the dense forest. They kept running and running until they felt safe and could breathe a sigh of relief.
"Are you okay?" asked Oliver as he turned to look at Alex.
Alex nodded with a smile, "Yes, I'm okay. Thank you for protecting me, Oliver."
Oliver lifted his head and howled into the night sky. They both felt that their adventure was not over yet, but they were preparing to face whatever would happen next.
Oliver stared sharply at Alex. "We have to keep moving. They could find us anytime."
Alex nodded. "Right. But we need to find a safe place to rest for a moment. I feel tired and exhausted."
Oliver relaxed his muscles and stopped in the middle of the forest. "Okay, we'll rest here for a while. But we can't stay in one place for too long."
Alex took a deep breath. "I agree. But what if we lose their trail?"
Oliver smiled. "Don't worry. I have a very sharp sense of smell. I can find a way out of here."
The two lovers sat under a tree and took a short break. They ate some food they brought from the mansion and drank water from the nearby river.
Alex looked towards the dark sky. "I never thought this adventure would be this hard."
Oliver looked at Alex. "I know. But we have to keep going. We can't give up easily."
Alex nodded. "You're right. We have to keep fighting until we find a way out of here."
They continued their journey cautiously, trying not to draw attention from the mysterious followers. They kept walking and walking, hoping to find a safe place and avoid the danger that lurked.
As they walked further, Oliver felt something strange on his body. There was something hidden behind his red fur. He tried to take it out and it turned out to be a small folded paper.
Alex looked surprised at Oliver as he opened the paper. "What happened? What's inside the paper?"
Oliver carefully read the contents of the paper and was surprised. "This is a map! A map that shows the way out of this forest!"
Alex was amazed. "How could we get it? Who left it behind your fur?"
Oliver shook his head. "I don't know. But it will definitely help us get out of here."
The two lovers decided to follow the instructions on the map and try to get out of the forest. They walked with new spirit, with greater hope of getting out of this dangerous adventure.
They continued walking until the sun rose, trying to find clues or signs around them. However, they didn't find anything except for the thick and silent forest.
Alex finally said, "What should we do now? We have lost our direction and time."
Oliver thought for a moment. "Maybe we should look for a high place, like a hill or a small mountain, so we can see around and find signs of life or direction."
Alex agreed. "Okay, let's try to find a hill or high place nearby."
They kept walking and finally found a small hill located to the north of them. They ran up the hill and when they reached the top, they saw a surprising sight.
In the distance, they saw a big building located in the middle of the forest. The building looked very magnificent and mysterious, and Alex and Oliver knew that was their next destination. However, they also knew that the journey there would not be easy.
They continued walking until they found a fairly large cave. They decided to enter the cave and take a short break.
Alex sat on a large rock in the cave and looked into the darkness. "What should we do now? We don't know what to do."
Oliver looks at Alex with hope, "We gotta keep lookin' for a way out. We can't stop until we find it."
Alex smiles softly, "You always give me strength."
Oliver smiles back, "Because I love you."
They both smile at each other and refocus on their situation. They grab some leftover food and eat it carefully. After that, they decide to rest for a bit and try to get some sleep.
After enough rest and Oliver has returned to his human form, they leave the cave and check if the coast is clear. Weirdly enough, the atmosphere they saw last night is gone. Oliver suddenly feels like someone is playing a trick on him.
"Who's playing' a trick on me right now?"
