Description My name is Ethan Lovell. If you passed me on the street, you might think I'm just a normal everyday kid , Sure my canines might be a little sharper than normal. but that's just genetics, and sure I might have an affinity with wolves, but lots of artists draw wolves, Anthro or Feral. Heck just check Deviantart.

Yep just an ordinary kid in extraordinary world.. You know what I mean right? Mortals, Magicians, Mutants and men in tights flying around saving the day 24-7.

Well, that's what *I* thought too. Turns out, I'm as far from normal as anyone can be. Course I didn't know this until my 13th birthday. That year, My parents take me on a Canoeing trip in Algonquin park. Coincidentally, that night is a full moon. You can guess where this is going.

That night I feel sick, like I have a fever or something. And I feel restless, like there's something I have to do, something I'm forgetting. After tossing and turning in my tent for a while... I just HAVE to step outside for some reason, and when I look up and see the full moon... I'm not sure what happened, I just sort of stop paying attention to anything but that great big orb in the sky for a while

the snap of a small branch breaking under my foot, snaps me out of my...trance? and I realize that I've somehow wandered away from the campsite. The change in scenery is pushed out of my mind fairly quickly, when I notice I seem to be growing a fur coat

The first change is terrifying, but at the same time exhilarating. Terrifying, because I have no idea what's happening to me, My body is literally changing, shifting in impossible ways. I try to resist the changes, but all that does is draw it out, make's it painful. I start feeling Urges, Instincts.

What makes it exhilarating is difficult to describe... its like up to this point in my life, I've been deaf, and then suddenly able to hear, like I've lived without a sense of smell, and then suddenly I'm bombarded with new sents, things I didn't even realize were there. I feel faster, stronger, almost invincible. All this combined with the pain of the change? My brain just can't handle it. Its a sensory overload unlike anything I could've ever imagined.

And amidst all this chaos I find an island of calm in my emerging instincts. Hunting prey, Marking and Defending my territory, adding to your pack. These overpowering compulsions are the only things that make any sense. When it's all finished, I've become something less than human, but more than a mere beast, the natural intelligence of the former, and the savagery of the latter.

I raise my head up to the heavens and let loose a blood chilling Howl, A warning to all who would dare cross my path. Beware....here there be monsters. And then suddenly? I am myself again. sort of. I'm still fuzzy as hell, and I can still feel my instincts, but they're somehow muted. I feel an unfamiliar weight on my chest.

I look down, and see a pendant, in the shape of a wolf's head. A voice behind me growls "Happy birthday Son" I wheel around in surprise, and fall flat on my rump, unused to my new legs. Standing before me is another Werewolf, Somehow I know it's my dad, Maybe....I can recognize his sent. I'm not sure.

Mom joins him, also furry. They tell me that I have much to learn about our family... that I'll learn in time, but tonight...tonight is a night for Celebration. All I know, is they're here, They're smiling at me, comforting me as I take it all in...
