Part 14 - Hounds and Wolves

A/n: Help, I reread part 12 of my book (The Hellhound of the Glade) and I had some many spelling mistakes like 😢

'Here, come with me. I think I know what you are.' I said as I got up and held out both my hands to help Ace up. He took both of them and followed me to my hut. When we got there, I crouched down and got the book from under my bed. Sitting down on my bed, gesturing for Ace to do the same, which he did, I started explaining the bestiary.

'Welcome to the bestiary. This is the book I was talking about. It basically has every single supernatural creature and their origin, strengths, weaknesses etcetera.' I started flipping through the book until I found the page I was looking for.

'I think... you are a werewolf.' I told him as I showed him the page. He picked up the book out of my hands, sat it on his lap and started reading.

Werewolves are supernatural shapeshifters, who are pack animals. There are two ranks of werewolves: alphas and betas. In a pack there is an alpha, who is the leader of the pack, with usually at least three betas. These betas don't have to be werewolves though, as they can be another supernatural creature or even human. Werewolves draw their power from their pack.

There is two ways of becoming a werewolf; being born one or being turned by an alpha or beta either through a bite or scratch.

Alphas are the strongest out of the ranks and are the leaders of their pack. They have red eyes along with being more powerful compared to betas. Alpha werewolves have distinguishable red eyes making them seem more dangerous. There are many ways for a werewolf to gain the rank of alpha; by inheritance, killing and stealing another alpha's power or, in rare instances, becoming one through the sheer force of will.

Beta werewolves are one rank lower than alphas, usually being lead by the them. Betas have the same supernatural abilities and physical appearance of other werewolves, but a beta's eyes can be two colours: either blue or gold. Betas with blue eyes are said to have ended the life of an innocent, while betas with gold eyes have not.

In human form, werewolves appear normal with all their supernatural creatures hidden. In werewolf form, they have fangs, claws and glowing eyes (either red, yellow or gold). However, once a werewolf is experienced enough, they can transform into a real wolf.

Since a werewolf gains their power from the moon, when a full moon occurs, they are at their strongest but also most dangerous. During this time, they are more likely to act on their animal instincts leading more likely to hurt someone and lose control.

POWERS AND ABILTIES:

Super Strength:

This is a common power among the supernatural world. This power allows werewolves to easily overpower other humans and some other less supernatural creatures. However maximum strength depends on the individual.

Super Speed, Agility and Reflexes:

Werewolves, like other supernatural creatures, can run extremely fast and are very agile. however, maximum speed, agility and reflexes depends on the individual.

Super Senses:

Werewolf's enhanced senses allow them to hear, smell and see things that a normal human can't. When they are in werewolf form, they can see in the dark. 

Super Durability:

A werewolf's body is extremely durable, allowing them to endure impact with little to no injury.

Shapeshifting:

Werewolf's can transform their human body into werewolf form. This includes their glowing eyes, fangs, claws and sometimes pointed ears.
