There are a couple of things in my life that I never imagined happening, yet somehow, they did.

I never thought I'd peacefully coexist with humans; let alone attend school with them and have a friendly couple adopt me from the orphanage as a kid. It's not every day that humans decide to adopt a werewolf and raise it like any normal human child, it's not common anyway so only a couple of crazy people would do that, but those crazy people love me like I'm their child and I couldn't have asked for better adoptive parents.

I didn't think I'd ever trust anyone outside of my adoptive parents but meeting the twin brothers who became my best friends changed that outlook for me. Trusting people is still hard for me but allowing myself to trust them taught me that not every person I encounter will stab me in the back.

The true owner of that lesson wasn't them, though. The person who taught me that came crashing into my life unexpectedly. Out of all the humans I'd encountered in my life, she was the most unique. Anyone would describe her as the usual smart, kind, beautiful, and compassionate. What set her apart from the rest is that she was the only one who got me to let go of all the fear I had about trusting and letting people in. She helped me let go of my fear of being abandoned.

I spent the rest of my childhood and half of my teenage years hating my birth parents without knowing what happened. She helped me let go of that resentment and it allowed me to start the healing process with my birth parents and accept them into my life.

After bringing all those positive things into my life it was only a matter of time before I fell madly in love with her. I wasn't familiar with how werewolves handled having a partner, but it couldn't have been too different from how humans dated each other. It didn't matter to me. I just knew that I loved her and wanted her to be in my life for as long as we lived. Neither of us had an easy past to deal with, and it caused a few bumps in the road, but it made us stronger and brought us closer together.

I still remember the day we met, and it feels like that day was only just yesterday instead of so long ago.
