  me: 
Perhaps his transformation takes a bit of time. It's not the typical "american werewolf in london" instant writhing in pain, drop on the floor and sprout full on back hair right there and then.
  Perhaps its a slow process that takes several minutes, hours, day(s)?

  That's a writers discretion item I think.
