The original cursed being was found by the witch in the forest hovering over a wolf who he had just killed in cold blood. Seeing the slaughter, the witch decided he needed to live as the creature he killed using her powers to change the man into a looming bipedal wolf who was cursed to live for eons as that creature until he himself was killed or reached 300 years.
As the creature aged the witch noticed that more creatures were being killed in her woods making her rage towards the humans grow. Anytime a beast would be taken by mortal hand that man would change into the beast he had murdered. With their numbers growing the witch addressed the pack promising that when she felt them worthy, she would offer them their humanity once more.
With their mortality on the line the beasts agreed to do the witches bidding.
Analiese lived in the small town in Cocke County with her mother and her mother's new beau, if you could call him that. Gloria had married Waylen in a whirlwind dragging her daughter out to some bumfucked town in Tennesse no one had ever heard of. It was on the side of a mountain with a slamming population of maybe 2,000 people making it quite the little gem, or so her mother said. All she knew was that Waylen lived on the edge of the Cherokee forest near the River, and the closest grocery store was in New Port about thirty minutes away. There was, however, a little mom and pop store on the edge of town that was closer to her, and they sold general goods.
Honestly, this place was boring and exhausting all in one, and she was stuck at least until she graduated from this community college with her associate's and decided to extend herself further by going to a school out of this hick ass state.
She had warned her mother she wouldn't be here forever. She was six months into her degree meaning her mother had a year and six months to figure out how to live without her. Guess she needed to grow up now huh?
