What Big Eyes You Have

Prologue

Monsters, devils, and beasts are real. And yes, so are werewolves. You remember the story of Little Red Riding Hood—the girl in the red cloak who encountered a wolf deep in the woods, the same wolf that devoured her grandmother and wore her face as a disguise? That wolf was no fairytale.

The stories you've read, the myths of creatures that hunt under the moon, werewolves lurking in shadows and biding their time—they aren't just stories. They're real. And they're waiting for the perfect moment to rise and claim the world for themselves.

But then, a child was born. A prophecy older than memory spoke of her—a girl with the power to stop them. Velvet Reiss didn't grow up thinking about monsters or destinies, though. She was just a child, blissfully unaware, until the night the werewolves took everything from her, leaving only rage in their wake.

From that night, she made a promise to herself, a vow carved into her heart.

"I, Elara Thorne, will end this. To every werewolf out there, hear me: I will hunt you down, tear you apart, burn every last trace of you until nothing remains. You took my family—now I'll take your lives."

But promises are easy, and destiny is an unpredictable thing. How far will she go to keep her word? And in the end... will she succeed?
