“Human, wolf, you are what you make of yourself.”

“Mommy! Mommy, did you see that? I got my first battle wound!”

A freckled boy with dark hair and eyes stared up at me with a proud smile. He presented the scratch on his arm to me like

a trophy as we stood at the dining table. Griffin was in a meeting tonight, so the table was only set for three. =)

“and what’s this from?” I asked with raised eyebrows. Even as I inspected the scratch, I could see that it was already

beginning to heal, his pale skin knitting itself back together again.

go into battle

before no time!”

“Instructor Ivan is right,” I told him, “And your father is a bit of a moron if he thinks you’ll be going into battle anytime

time. If it weren’t for his pale skin and freckled face, he could’ve been the spitting image of his father.

grown immune to Griffin’s pouty face years ago. “Look,” I sighed, “Maybe you’ll get to go into battle one day, but not

today. Like when you’re king, decades from now. Now, if you’re done with your dinner, you can go play.”

That answer was enough to satisfy him, and with a quick hug, he took off running. Although he hadn’t shifted yet, he’d

already begun to show early signs of being a werewolf — better strength and speed, better healing. It was only a matter

of time until he shifted.
