My hands were out to each side, and my feet were shoulder-width apart. I wanted to believe that if the wolf struck me, my wolf would come out, but it seemed almost curled up in the pit of me. If I would’ve allowed it, whines would have started to echo from my chest. I was unsure of what to do at that point, not knowing if being defensive was even the right thing. The wolf did not seem like it was aggressive or angry; it just sat there like in my dreams.

After a few minutes of a standoff, the wolf finally stood up and walked around behind me. I turned with it as it went, watching the grace and confidence it displayed with each and every step of its large, muscular paws. As the wolf approached the rock that it had originally been sitting on when I found it the first time, its body seamlessly morphed into a human man. The change wasn’t like with me, a ragged and violent experience. With him, it was almost as if he had just stepped right out of his wolf.

The man standing in front of me was middle-aged, maybe a bit older, but strong and fierce, with large, rippling muscles and smooth skin. His eyes shimmered from yellow to blue and he rolled his shoulders back and forth as the last bit of fur disappeared from his skin. He turned and walked around the boulder, reaching down and pulling out a set of clothes. I looked down at my hands as he changed into them, unsure of what to say or do at that point.

When he was dressed, he took a seat on the large rock, putting his hands on his knees. “My name is Arthur. I know you’re wondering a lot of things right now. And to answer your initial question, yes, I am the one that bit you.”

My brow furrowed and I felt anger surge through me. “Why would you do that?”

Arthur shook his head, the streaks of silver in his hair glistening under the sunlight beaming down on him. “I didn’t mean to. I want to start off by apologizing to you. I know that doesn’t take back what I’ve done or make up for the fact that your life is forever changed, but it was never intentional. When you found me, I was bewildered and shaken. Earlier that day, I had been attacked by several other shifter wolves, dark ones.”

I shook my head, rubbing my face with my hand. “Stop. Stop for a second. I know all of this is normal and commonplace to you, but I have no idea what you’re talking about. What the hell is a shifter wolf?”

Arthur’s head dropped for a second and he nodded. “I apologize. Please have a seat. This might take a little bit. Centuries ago, before the colonization of man, there were all types of different beings on this planet. Through time, and human greed, many of them have been expelled from existence.
