Chapter 1: Prologue

Chapter Text

Prologue.

 

When I was little, my mother always wanted the best for my brother and I. After our father died, she did everything she could to keep us safe. And when the time came, she let us choose our own path through life.

You see, my brother and I were born a little different than most. But, you've heard that story before, haven't you?

When I was still young, Ame made the decision to stay in the forest outside of our childhood home.

I decided to go to school and continue living as a human.

Now and again I miss how things used to be. I miss living with my family and being too young to really know who-or what-I wanted to be.

Yet I've never regretted my decision. I don't think I'd have grown to be the person I am if I'd never met all the humans I know today.

 

Thinking back on it now is a little funny.

In my mind, there were only two options.

Am I human?

Or am I a wolf?

I never stopped to consider that maybe,

it was okay to be both.
