Hi, so this is my first fan fiction. I wanted to do something a little different with it, and no one seems to have covered this topic! I'm sorry if my grammar isn't the best, but this makes sense to me. If you need any clarification, please message me, and i will try to help. I hope you enjoy :)

Chapter 1:

Ben's POV-March 13th

Today was a very special day for me, it was my 17th Birthday. This day would mark a large change in my life, but not for the reason many would expect. It was expected of me to take the throne one month after my Birthday, however, quite the opposite happened.

The day began like any other, I woke up in my Four-pillared king size Bed, covered with silk sheets, so soft I didn't want to move. As I looked about my room, there was one place in particular that caught my eye, the Isle of the Lost, home to all the villains and their henchmen. For some unknown reason, I had started a feel a pull towards the Isle recently, but I was quickly snapped out of my thoughts when Miss Potts came rushing into my room, with carts after carts of food.

"Good Morning Prince Ben, and Happy Birthday might I add" said Miss Potts. Miss Potts had always been there, since I was little. She has stuck with the Belle and Beast once his curse was lifted, as many of the household did. Once Beast had united the kingdoms, and became king, many were offered permanent jobs within the Castle, being paid a reasonable wage I might add.

'Thank you Miss Potts, and breakfast looks lovely if I might add." The food cart contained every food item that I adored, from chocolate covered waffles and pancakes to the most delicious fruits the kingdom had to offer. It was truly a breakfast fit for a King or a soon-to-be one as was the case.

My Parents, King Beast and Queen Belle shortly followed into the room, ecstatic over their plans for the day. Though I knew that they were holding a surprise party for me in the castle, I had to play innocent with them, to give them the satisfaction of seeing my face light up when I happened. Even though I like to give surprises, I can't stand not knowing when they involve me, why I hunted around the castle to find out what they had planned. Once I found out about the party, I quickly ceased my search, as I knew that more would be in store, and I didn't want to risk ruining this for them.

"Good Morning Son" Mum and Dad said in a unison, before breaking into song. "Happy Birthday to you..." and so on, as the song goes. They brought out a small cupcake with a candle on, to allow me the satisfaction of blowing out at least one candle.

"Thank you" I said, with small tears welling in my eyes, "This is all so thoughtful" gesturing towards Miss Potts, who was placing more food on the table, as well as towards my Parents, who were currently sat beside me on the bed.

After all the food was laid out on the small table in my room, Miss Potts gestured us to grab a seat and dive in. I offered her the choice to join us, but she declined, stating that the real work had not begun just yet. She shared a small chuckle with my parents, whilst I pretended to be dumbfounded by the comical aspect of the joke, full well knowing what she meant.

After the meal, I quickly showered and dressed, and met up with my Parents once again. Luckily for me, today was a Saturday, which meant I had no classes to attend at Auradon Prep, though I sure I heard Chad say something about Tourney practise a while back. Anyway, my parents told me that I was to the leave the castle for the day, without sounding too pushy of course, as they did not want to 'give away' their surprise party. Knowing what they had in store, I agreed, deciding to spend the way with my Friends.

I walked outside to find, Chip Potts, my personal 'chauffeur.' I hated that, as he seems more like a friend to me than an employee. "Where to, Prince Ben?" he asks, "Just head for the school please Chip, and I told you, just call me Ben", "Of Course, Your Highness" was his response, with a small smirk on his face, trying to hold back a smile. I chuckled to myself as I made my way into the passenger side of the Limousine, I didn't like to sit in the back, as it felt so impersonal when it was just the two of us.

"Any plans for today", Chip inquired, in full knowledge of the surprise party later.

"Spending the way with my friends" I answered, as if to have no knowledge of the event later.

"At the school?" he asked, with a confused look on his face. To be fair, he did have a valid point, after all, it was Saturday.

"No", I said whilst chuckling to myself "It was just the easiest place for all of us to meet, as it is quite central to all our castles", I say realising how pretentious it sounded, and wincing afterwards. "So where are you actually heading." The question threw me, as it hadn't actually planned this out. I had text my friends, telling them to meet me at the school, but other than that, I had no idea what to do.

"We'll decide when we get there", I answered with somewhat of a nervous laugh. I had to wake most of my friends up, in order to get them to join me, so most would not be happy at the lack of a plan.

The rest of the journey entailed me stewing about what we could do for the rest of the day. I finally decided that we should visit my mum's old village, for a little shopping of sorts. Whilst most of Auradon had been modernised and refitted into the 21st Century, some places such as my mum's old village remained fairly outdated in order to remind everyone of the 'good old days' as my Grandfather Maurice would call it, when mobile phones, and laptops didn't exist. However, this was beside the point.

Once we arrived at the school, I was relieved to see that the majority of my friends had shown up. Lonnie was there, dressed so elegantly in her tracksuit bottoms, and long-sleeve t-shirt, a clear sign that she had only properly woken up an hour ago. Jane wore her usual periwinkle dress, looking as ready as ever. Chad just wore dark jeans, and a hoodie, which gave of a similar impression to Lonnie, and finally Audrey was present. She was wearing a baby pink and blue jumpsuit, to match her usual colours. You could tell she had put a lot of effort into her outfit today, as she wanted to impress her 'Benny-boo' before the big coronation. That's right, Audrey and I were dating, but something about it didn't feel right. My Parents always told me that one day I would be on the throne, with a beautiful wife at my side. However, by the time I was 13, the beautiful wife started to fluctuate between that and a handsome husband to sit beside me. I had decided that I was Bi, but had never mentioned it to anyway out of fear. Due to this, Audrey and I continued to date, no matter how forced our love felt.

Chad quickly snapped me out of my thoughts when he asked what I had planned for the day. "I decided that we could do a bit of shopping, and hang out-"

"Shopping, I love Shopping" Audrey interrupted, squealing like a 5 year old girl over something cute. "Where?" She asked, and I could see she was already planning out what shops to go into. This illusion was quickly shattered with my response.

"My Mum's old village, I thought we could explore the market, and have a look into the history for a bit" I responded. I was constantly being told the story of Beauty and the Beast, and loved visiting my mum's old village, as it helped me envision what had happened. Everyone seemed to agree, however this could be due to the fact that it was my birthday, and no one wanted to anger the 'Birthday Boy'. Thankfully Chip was still waiting, and offered to drive us out to the old village, well as far as he could take us, since the roads quickly turned into dirt paths, as soon as we ventured out of Auradon City, and off of the motorway interconnecting the whole kingdom.

We reached a mile from the village, and decided to walk from there, in order to save Chip and his limousine from any further damages. "Head home for the day, and I'll call you when we need picking up", smiling as I said it, "And Thank You Chip", I continued before heading towards our destination. All I heard when we walked away was "No Problem, Your Majesty", which made me giggled as we walked. The walk itself consisted of Audrey moaning about the paths, and how 'dirty' her shoes were getting. Not that she had any reason to complain, as she would not be the ones to wash them. Throughout the walk, I started to get a slight headache, but I didn't think much of it, at the time, as I hadn't drunk much that day.

As we wandered into my mum's old village, my eyes lit up. The place was buzzing with activity, people amongst people trading goods, and generally enjoying life. Maybe they were the good old days I thought to myself, seeing how happy people were. We tried to maintain a low profile whilst in the village, as everyone in the Kingdom knew it was my birthday, but I didn't want a big fuss. We stopped by the shop, and grabbed some drinks and snacks before making our way around the town. After walking around the town for a bit, explaining to my friends the story of beauty and the beast from my perspective, as well as giving everyone a tour of the village, my friends decided it was time to head back, probably so they could get ready for the party.

Again playing innocent I agreed to leave. However, earlier that day I had noticed a cute pendant that would suit my mother. I hadn't decided to buy it at the time, but after the thought of leaving, I knew I had to get it for her. I explained, and told my friends that I would meet them back at the Limo after I had bought the pendant. Whilst walking back into the village, the headache returned, but what was even weirder was that I was drawn to one particular peasant boy. He was sat round town in a blanket, with a few of his belonging. At first I thought this was weird, as I had never seen poverty in Auradon before, but it got stranger when I had one thought 'Prey'. I quickly shook off the thought, and continued to where I believed the market stall was. However, I had actually managed to get lost and travel out of town into the forest.

This is where the first transformation happened. I started to ache all over, and screamed due to the pain, however, it was more of a howl. Before I knew it, I was at ground level, and on all fours. I looked around, to see that my hands had been replaced with paws, and that I was covered in thick layers of fur. I had become a wolf. 'This can't be real, I must have fell asleep on the way back to Auradon City' I thought to myself, but I quickly found myself thinking of that peasant boy. Liking the feeling of freedom that I had, I started to make my way towards the village, and quickly spotted the peasant boy on the outskirts of the town. I lunged for him, grabbing his wrist and pulling him to the ground.

Pure instinct was in control now, but I was quite enjoying it. The feeling of power cursing through my veins, as I continued to scratch and bite this boy below me. Before I knew it, I was laid on my side, which substantial pain in my gut, where someone had booted me off that poor boy, but this feeling made me want him more. I was in complete control of my actions, but at the same time, I wasn't, lunging once again at him. I managed to inflict serious damage on the boy, leaving bite marks on his wrists, as well as substantial claw marks on his chest and face. The town's people started to get involved pulling me off of this boy, before throwing me against the wall. That's when everything became very hazy, and before I passed out, all I heard was gasps from around me, with someone saying "Is that… Prince Ben?"
