[ ☾ we're born in the moonlight ]

Kodi saw Atlas fall to the ground and he released himself from Grant's affections and hurried over to him. He gently knelt beside him, rubbing his back. "Hey, Atlas, it's going to be alright..." He assured him. He knew he was trying to change and he was going to be there to calm him in the only way he could. Grant followed Kodi, just in case. He made sure the study hall was clear of mortals and only the supernatural remained. He got the doors locked and got ready to call their fathers. He approached Kodi and placed his hand on his shoulder, dragging him away and placing him behind himself protectively. Grant watched Atlas carefully, waiting for his shift.

His body shook as he struggled to stop the shift. It was only when he heard Kodi's reassurance that he allowed it to happen. Pain wracked through his body as his bones cracked and snapped into a new form. The changes finalized as fur covered his entire body and his muzzle grew out. Where Atlas once laid was replaced by a white wolf with molten gold eyes. The wolf slowly stood up, a low rumbling growl rising from his throat. He stood still with his eyes focused on the two wolves, trying to see what they're next actions were. He was ready to pounce if anything were to go wrong.

Kodi walked forward, shoving Grant to the side. He wanted to pet Atlas. He sent Grant to go and track down Delilah and bring her to the study hall. He walked forward and wrapped his arms around Atlas's large neck. He happily smiled and buried his face in his fur. "I always wanted to cuddle a wolf." He smiled at him. Grant returned later with Delilah, dragging her along. He gestured to Atlas. "Take your boyfriend!" He growled out. He walked forward and took Kodi's hand, taking him away from Atlas and placing him protectively behind him once more. Kodi watched Atlas from behind Grant, curious of him. If he didn't leave they would be forced to call his father to deal with him.

Atlas calmed down when Kodi came closer to pet him, and he greatly welcomed it. The wolf licked his cheeks in return, his tail wagging behind him.

Delilah had been relaxing at a cafe with her friends when Grant barged in and started dragging her back into campus. "He's not my-" She was cut off by the sight of Kodi cuddling with a white wolf. "Oh my god?" She's never seen him this serene as a wolf before. This was a first. Every time she's ever tried petting him, it'd result in him trying to bite her hand off. This moment of peace didn't last very long when Grant pulled Kodi away, causing him to snarl at the alpha.

"Where and how do you want me to take him away?" Delilah asked, motioning towards Atlas. "He's a damn wolf."

[cswolf.]

Grant looked at her as Atlas began growling at him and Kodi. "I don't know. Attach a leash to him and take him away like a dog?" He suggested as he looked at Delilah. "Or use your magical abilities to escort him out?" He added. "I don't care what you do as long as he is out of here. If not I will be forced to call the alphas again and they will not treat him so kindly..." He growled. His father would make Atlas admit defeat and probably ban him off the lands and the campus.

Delilah sighed to herself walking towards the wolf, grabbing the bag near him. Atlas wouldn't appreciate magic being used on him, so she decided to go with the leash. With a snap of her fingers, she conjured up a dog's leash and carefully tied it around his neck. "Let's go," She told him, pulling on the leash until he eventually gave in. Small whimpers came from the wolf as he turned to look at Kodi. "You're a brat, you know that?" She said once they were outside. The wolf gave a huff in response. "Are you going to let Atlas back out, or...?" She asked, only for the wolf to sit down and face the opposite direction as if he were ignoring her. "I thought so." She crossed her arms, leaning back against the building wall. Atlas was going to be pissed when he hears about how long he was shifted.

[cswolf.]

Kodi gave a small wave to Atlas as he was brought past him. He reached out a hand to touch his luxerious fur as he walked past him. He soon went with Grant and sat back down a the table to continuing reading and studying. He could feel his wolf calling out softly to his friend. He sighed and kept him down and concealed. He concealed, didn't feel, didn't let them know that he missed him. He focused in on Grant as they discussed and studies.

By the time it was lunch, Atlas had already shifted back, and he settled down in a table with Delilah. On the downside, he missed not one, but two classes and that was enough to put him in a bad mood. He frowned listening to her explain what happened in the study hall. Atlas has never stayed in his wolf form for that long outside of the full moon nights. He pouted, crossing his arms, causing her to laugh out loud. "Cute," He could hear her whisper which didn't help at all. "You must really like him for this to be happening," She commented before taking a sip of her soda. A smug smirk was on her face.

[cswolf.]

During lunch time it seemed like Atlas' luck was turning around. Kodi walked into the lunch hall and spotted Atlas. He waved and wandered over to his table, plopping down beside him at the table. He smiled. "I hope you don't mind if I sit here. Grant's presentation is running a bit late and I needed people to sit with so I didn't feel so alone." He explained as he looked at them. "You must be Delilah, Atlas's room-mate." He smiled happily. "You are absolutely stunning..." He complimented happily. He was much like a happy, over-excited puppy, when allowed to be. "Any gal would be lucky to nab you." He teased Delilah contently. He pulled out his lunch and began to eat.

Atlas was almost ready to run away when he saw Kodi walk towards their table, but Delilah kept him still by holding onto his shoulder. She nodded happily in response. "Aw, thank you," She replied, beaming. "You're really sweet for that." Delilah gave Atlas a look as if she were silently nagging him to say something. "It's nice to see you again," He told him. A small smile was forming on his face. He was relieved to see that Kodi was at least still friendly with him. He keeps telling him that Kodi wouldn't want to be around him anymore. Especially with how he's been acting up, and the alphas treatment of him.
