The Reckoning

Reckoning

Society shuns those who are different. The human race has deep-rooted fears of the unknown. So many like me are lucky to live a normal life, to take after their human parents. The world of the wolves refuse to accept our kind, so much, so it is considered a myth to them. No werewolf would ever breed with a human, they say. Yet it occurs and often the child sacrificed to appease god for the unholy actions. A few lucky mixed breeds are left unnoticed, their conception a secret taking after the human parent, allowing them to live in secrecy among the humans. I was not so lucky. My transformation sent my mother and I deep in the woods shunned by the humans and werewolves alike, I lived a secluded life happily, that is until Liam found me. I was stupid, wandering out far into the woods in search of myself. Liam discovered me standing in wolf form deep in a thicket full of wolves bane. I have been a prisoner ever since, Liam refused to believe I lived alone, that others existed in my pack. He torched me to find information, that is when he discovered that silver did not afflict me either. That day the experiments began.
