AUTHOR NOTE: Just a note I wrote this in high school in 2012 and haven't gotten around to rewriting/fixing yet This is Max. He's a gay werewolf convinced he has no chance for a mate. He also happens to be in love with his best friend Ethan. What's a boy to do? Nothing ever works out just right. Right when things are looking up for Ethan, the past catches up. With their friendship on the line, these boys must overcome a lot to finally answer the question, 'where's my mate?'.

I knew I was a freak, I'm weird not stupid - even if I did act like it half the time. It wasn’t normal to be like me, to be afraid of things everyone loves, needs to survive even. I had always been afraid of it for some reason, among other things of course; I would rather die than have to face my fear. Everyone knew it but no one cared though did they? I was just another stupid kid in this stupid foster home. Another stupid kid that had been ‘dumped’ and no one wanted. At least, that's what I thought.
