Noah had spent the most perfect day on the beach with Delilah. While he was not exactly sure of calling her his girlfriend yet, they were on their way to that for sure. By the time he had got home, his body temperature was soaring into a fever range, which was unusual for Noah as he never got sick. When he got home, his mother was home. Instead of eating dinner, he went directly to his room after reassuring his mother he was fine after she said he looked sicker than a dog.
By the time he reached the top of the stairs, he was sick at his stomach. He got to his room and flopped onto his bed, pulling out his phone to text Delilah. If he was this sick, he was sure she might have got it from him as well. He wanted to make sure she would be alright.
Del, I'm pretty sick. Running a fever and sick at my stomach. You might want to start taking something now so you won't get it. he tapped out quickly and sent.
Rolling over onto his back, he brought his hand to his head and felt the sweat on his brow. He was sweating bullets. He decided to take his temperature, so he got up and made it to the bathroom, getting the thermometer out of the cabinet and sticking it under his tongue. Seconds later it beeped and read 108.9 degrees.
By then, he knew he had to be delirious so he went back to his bed and flopped down. All the fans were on in the room, as was the air conditioner and he still could not cool down. Next thing he knew, he blacked out for a while.

Delilah was in her office room, checking her emails on the computer and making hew designs after spending the day with Noah. Right after she came home, she changed her clothes into baggie pants and tight fitted tank top, with glasses on and coffee on the table. She leaned back on her chair as she took her mug in her hands and took her sip. Remembering the fabulous time she had with Noah, though she was ready to call him her boyfriend but wasn't sure if they were on that stage or not. After chuckled as she set the mug back on the table, and went back to sketching some more designs. It didn't take her long to make four designs at all.
After a moment, she leaned back on her chair and closed her eyes. She was tired from lack of sleeps that she didn't have lately. Few minutes passed when her phone went off. She opened her eyes and reached for her phone. Delilah read the text from Noah and was little happy that he reached his home safe and sound. Before she could text him back, she knew what was happening to Noah. Her leg muscles wouldn't move from the chair, she sat there thinking.
He's dad was a Quilieute, so he would have been a wolf and his mom should know that her son would be phasing soon. Since he's half-Quilieute. I need to get over there as soon as possible and explain to his mom about what's happening to Noah then I should tell him on what's happening to him. She looked down at her phone and texted Noah back.
I'm fine, Noah. Just take care of yourself til I come over to your house. And trust me nothing is going to happen to me. I also need to talk to your mom.
<3 Del
Without changing her clothes, she ran out of the room, downstairs, grabbing her car keys and was out the door in no time. Delilah got in her car and sped off to Noah's house. He didn't live that far away from her house, only about six minutes of drive. She parked her car behind Noah's truck, got out of her car and ran towards the main door. She knocked on the door and waited for Mrs. Collins to answer the door.

Noah was in and out of consciousness for a while until he felt his phone buzzing in his pocket. He could barely make out the words from Delilah before passing out again. Next time he woke, he heard voices from downstairs. Immediately he recognized them as his mother and Delilah.
Why did she come? he wondered to himself.
He knew that he could get her as deathly ill as he was. But, before he could even protest anymore to himself, he drifted out of consciousness again. This was the absolute worst feeling in the world and he wanted to be rid of it right then, but didn't know why he was that sick.

Delilah went inside the house and smiled at Mrs. Collins. She knew that she had to get down to business and tell her everything on what's happening to her son. Of course Mrs. Collins almost knew everything since her husband was a wolf. But didn't know that Noah's temperature was rising and staying high for couple of days til he phases. From upstairs she could hear him in his bed, sleeping. Delilah was worried about him and needed him to get mad after few hours or couple of days. If he doesn't have anger then he won't able to phase for the first time, which she needs him to do. Phase.
But how? She thought that question to herself. She excused herself and went upstairs to Noah's room. Without knocking, she opened his bedroom door and saw him sleeping on his bed. Delilah quickly went to his side and watched him sleep for couple of minutes before waking him up and telling him on what's happening to him. He was sleeping peacefully as she got his hot hand in hers while the other one was in his hair. "Noah...." She whispered his name.

Out of the darkness came one still, soft voice in Noah's ear. At first, he thought it was an angel and that he had died. As horrible as he felt, he knew he must be dead and he was going into the afterlife. The voice was beckoning him somehow, calling to him. Opening his eyes, he got his answer. Before him was his angel, Delilah.
His breathing quickened as he instantly became worried about infecting her with whatever he had. He made several attempts at talking, which we unsuccessful. Until finally he was able to put his thoughts into audible words.
"Del, you can't be here. I'm sick and you'll catch whatever I have," he pleaded with her to leave. "I don't want you catching this."

Delilah watched Noah as he opened his eyes. She gave him faint smile before beginning to say anything. Still having his hand in hers, she rubbed it gently as she pleaded. Whatever he said, she won't be leaving him until he phases. She kept staring at him, refusing to go; she was being stubborn, just like her dad was. I need to tell him everything. I need courage and strength to tell him. She took looked away to his guitar and sighed.
"I won't catch anything Noah. There's something I need to tell you. And before I began, I need you to stay quiet and listen carefully. Then you can react however you want. Maybe even hate me." She told him before telling him the truth. Delilah looked back down at him and told him everything. "I already been in the same place as you almost forty years ago. I might look eighteen but technically, I'm fifty. That goes to Jake, Quil, Seth, Leah, and Embry; we all are wolves. Every Quilieute is a wolf, well some are heading that way, like you are. You can't take away what's in your blood, Noah. You're becoming a wolf. Your dad was one and your mom knew about it. She didn't want this to happen to you. But you can't run away from it."
There I told him. Now all he needs to do is phase then I can teach him how to unphase and phase back and forth. Then meeting with Jake with Noah. Hope everything works out fine. Delilah thought as she looked at Noah.

Noah couldn't believe what he was hearing Delilah tell him. She was a wolf? That made absolutely no sense to him. He had heard some of the legends of the Quileute tribe from his father growing up, but never anything about wolves. His father never made any mention of wolves being involved with Quileutes, much less him being one. Why would his father not tell him about something so important? And moreover, why wouldn't his mother after his father's death?
Delilah said he was becoming one as well. Anger was seething through his veins and his breathing picked up.
"Why?" he managed to asked. "How could this happen to me?"
All of his life he had been lied to, by his parents. They had not told him what he would become. Fury continued to flow through him openly until his body seized. Every muscle in his body was frozen until he completely lost control. His head felt like it was going to explode at any second until something happened. Something he was not expecting. All of a sudden, his senses were heightened. Looking around, he saw his clothing shredded on his bed and where his hands once were, paws.
What the hell happened to me?

She remembered when she found out that she was a wolf. At first she was shocked and vehemence about it; then when she phased, for the first time, she was glad on what she had became. Of course everyone was happy on the fact that they’re wolves. Seeing different colors of furs and personalities of the wolves in La Push; she can tell that Noah will get along with the pack. The shock was that Noah’s parents didn’t tell him that his dad was a wolf and that he’s going to be one, soon. Now he knows what he is and mad.
She watched him carefully as his breathing picked up and knew what was coming. “Babe, it runs in the Quileute tribe and your veins. Like I said, your dad was one.” Delilah told him. Carefully, she let his hand go and moved aside for him to phase. She counted and waited for him to phase as she waited she texted Jacob.
Jake, emergency and I need you here at Noah’s house. A.S.A.P.
-Del
Delilah heard tearing sounds of clothes as she looked at Noah. Right in front of her eyes, Noah was transformed into a wolf. She carefully walked to his wolf form and knelt down so she could look into his eyes. “This is your new wolf form. And you look absolute dashing in your new form.” She rubbed his furry back and smiled at him. Do you trust me?

Noah felt her hands touching his back as he stood on all fours. This was definitely weird for him. He jumped off his bed and went to the nearby mirror where he saw a huge chocolate colored wolf with a white spot on his chest standing before it. Startled, he almost jumped back and turned towards Delilah, who was standing there unafraid of him.
I trust you, he thought, hoping that she would be able to hear.
As he walked around on all fours, he thought it was the weirdest feeling in the world. This was not normal, but then again, what else about his life had been normal? He was a half-breed to everyone else in the tribe and yet, here he stood, a wolf like the others. He wondered if he would be outcast by the other wolves as well or accepted as one of them.
Putting his trust completely in Delilah, he walked over and bumped his head against her hand.

She loved his fur, chocolate colored wolf with white spot on his chest. It’s weird at first being on four legs instead of two; but he’ll get used to it after awhile. Delilah watched him as he jumped of the bed and went to mirror. “Now you’re acting like a girl. I never did that when I phased for the first time.” She joked with him. She turned around, sat on the carpet and leaned against his bed. Looking at his room, it wasn’t messy like other boys’ room she had visited. It was clean and neat, well almost.
Even though she can’t hear his thoughts, since she isn’t in wolf form, she figured that he trusted her no matter what. Giving him time to get used to his wolf form, she closed her eyes for brief second and sighed. Delilah couldn’t wait for Jacob to come and help her with Noah. It’s not that she didn’t need help; it was because Noah and Jacob could talk and get use to each other.
She opened her eyes when she felt furry head bump against her hand. She looked at Noah and chuckled. “You okay? I know you want to be in your human form now, but I’m waiting for Jake to come. Til then, allow me to clean your shattered clothes and get some clothes for you. You’re going to be naked once you change into your human form. And I bet that you don’t want me or anyone to see you naked.” Delilah said as she petted Noah.

Noah understood everything Delilah was telling him. Although he had heard of Jacob before, he had never personally met him. Apparently, he was a big deal around the reservation, sort of respected by everyone, even the adults. Noah never really wanted to cross anyone, so he had mostly kept to himself. Upon hearing Delilah accuse him of being a girl, he snorted.
I am so not a girl! I just wanted to see if this was real.
And it was. He was a wolf, fur and all. It was a weird thing for him to be standing in fur and on all fours, but he figured it would take some getting used to. As he bumped Delilah's hand, he listened to her comforting words until she got to the part where he would phase back naked.
Holy hell. How am I ever going to get used to that?

Jacob was at his house he was tidying up the place a little when his Cell pone rang telling him he just got a text. He flipped it open wit a smile on his face expecting a message from Renesmee, But it wasn't it was from Delilah.
Jake,emergency and I need you here at Noah’s house. A.S.A.P.
-Del
As soon as he fished reading the message he dropped what he was doing and ran over Noah's house. Jacob knew were he lived so there was no need for instructions or texting Delilah back because texting took time and he wanted to get there as fast as possible. Anytime someone used the word emergency, Jacob knew it was wolf business most likly a phase... though they had a wolf form they were actually shape shifters.
About four minutes later Jacob was at the Collins house on the porch banging on the door. "Del, it Jake. Open up" He said loudly.

She could help it but to let out a laugh when Noah snorted on her comment about a girl. Delilah didn't know how to assure him that everything is going to be okay, even though he's already calm. "That's why I'm telling you to take me to your closet so that I can get some clothes for you." She got up from the carpet, picked up the shattered clothes and threw it in the trash in the bathroom. She walked back and sat down where she was. "You know, I unphased naked in front of Sam. Of course he was like my older brother, so I wasn't embarrassed much. But I'm giving you heads up." She said to him smiling.
Of course, Jake lives about few minutes away from Collins' house and it didn't take him long to get there. She got up from the carpet and looked down at Noah. "Stay here. I'm going to get Jake." Delilah walked out of his room, closing the door behind her and went downstairs. She didn't see Noah's mom and opened the door. She hugged Jacob, took his hands and went upstairs to Noah's room. "So you already know what the emergency was about. He phased." She opened the door and walked inside to his side. "Noah this is Jake Black, one of my good friends and like my brother. Jake, this is Noah Collins." Delilah introduced Noah to Jacob; she didn't know if they knew each other or not.

Noah paced the room as he waited for Delilah to come back up. This whole wolf thing was a complete shock to him; not what he expected upon turning eighteen years old. More than anything, he had wished his father had told him the truth. As he paced, he wondered if his dad would have told him had he not died. Immediately, his anger softened towards his father because he might not have had the chance to tell Noah.
Minutes later, Delilah had returned to his room with the guy he presumed was Jacob, which she affirmed upon their introduction. He really didn't know how to introduce himself as a wolf since he could not talk, so he simply nodded in affirmation.
Ok, can we please not let me be the only wolf now so I can actually communicate, please? he thought, knowing they couldn't hear him anyway.

Jacob looked at Noah. "Hey, ok to let you know I am the alpha wolf here. Thought were not not really Werewolf were shape shifter." Jacob explained. "would be better If I phases so I could talk to you. In our wolf form, I can communicate with you mentally, I am sure If Delilah phases you could her her too. Oh I am going to phase so Del turn around"
Jacob stripped off off his clothes quickly and phase in a blink of a eye. SO like I was saying you can hear my thoughts
