Chapter 29

Isaac’s mother, a human from Cumbria, had been a Wiccan practitioner, a fringe magic scholar who became involved in the true magic community only because she was mistaken for a member. Isaac, however, had never learned the details surrounding how his parents really met. His father was a wolf from Iceland—which should have been an oxymoron.

Icelandic wolves were descendants of Northern European wolves who’d fled regions where they were being hunted a few hundred years ago, and in some cases intermarried with local humans. Maybe it was the exact gene pool that formed from this close society, maybe it had something to do with the Icelandic humans. It could be that wolves and humans had always been able to produce shifter young, but the gene had been so diluted it was left with very few, or that it was even spawned from these generations of isolated wolves and humans in Iceland.

Of course, no one had scientifically studied the phenomenon—and they almost certainly never would. All Isaac knew for sure was that every wolf now alive in the modern world with a wolf parent and a human parent had at least the wolf side hailing from Iceland, usually both wolf and human. There were, in fact, many of them. Isaac had met some, had considered moving to the country as an adult. But he’d already been in school by then, followed by good jobs and he loved Scotland.

It wasn’t that shifting hybrids were impossible at all. It was simply that they tried very hard to be unknown because they knew how most packs—particularly the old school or more devout sort—would treat them. They could never be accepted as wolves among most of their peers. Yet they were exactly that.

In his teens, Isaac had been referred through relations of his father to a wolf doctor in Reykjavik. This person had interviewed him, studied his blood, and found the same conclusions he had with all the other shifting hybrids he had checked: Isaac was a wolf.

He’d never had the chickenpox or flu, his appetite, senses, and body were wolf, and it was unlikely he could produce offspring with a human—also just like any shifter.

Some said it was the human who mattered. That if they had a wolf parent themselves, they would be a carrier of the gene. Some said it was the wolf. If that parent had the gene that allowed wolf hybrids it could be enough. And the Icelandic wolves were the ones who had it.

Isaac hadn’t found all of this out, or met any of his father’s family, until he was in his teens.

He’d been born in Scotland, in Aberdeen, where his mother had extended family. His father had been a drifter in the first place. Like Omri, Andrew’s father, he’d roamed in and out of their lives.

As a child, or a pup, Isaac had taken it for granted that Dad would be there one day, gone the next. He was an engineer who jumped from project to project, from Iceland to England to Scotland.
