The protagonist believes to have found a flourishing life while keeping the beast away. He thinks his problem only comes once a month.
He will not notice the affects on his behavior until the influence is dramatic, and by then he will make a fleeting attempt to maintain a semblance of normality even though it will be too late as his very being will have been altered.
In the horror moneyshot, he will be unable to go near his wife/child without causing them great fear for their lives. Effective cinematography/paneling should make this scene very traumatic, similar to the Johhny sequence in the Shining. The difference is that the protagonist will not even understand why they are scared, as he doesn't even understand what's going on at this point. The end of this scene will be the main character will be arrested for some violent act of passion.
For the final shocking reveal, the main character will be exposed as the monster while in captivity. This will be the special effects money shot, so it can be really gory/flashy. The end sequence is the main character escaping into the night and never being found again.
The moral/tragedy is the protagonist thinking he could sequester a part of himself away without any consequences, not realizing that you cannot permanently keeping something innate in yourself hidden, even if he keeps the actual beast away.
I don't know what medium would best be fitting for this story, but the framing should emphasize paranoid claustrophobia. The paneling/cinematography should communicate the experience of being agitated and trapped, like an animal stuck in a cage, as the protagonist becomes inexplicably irritated by his generic suburban surroundings.
As an aside, more werewolf stories should consider saving the monster reveal for the end, as they usually pull everything out by the beginning third, and the plot usually becomes very predictable after that. Saving the monster longer would increase the suspense.
