My story began with a hunting ceremony, and since our oldest howls, these traditions have been our most important values. Sometimes, even though I had to do it, there were times when I ran free like a fox. Times when I felt the wind, when I ruled the water, when I could bend fire, and when I greened the earth. My belief was different from many things; there was a God I believed in, yes, and that was Amarok. The sole God of our pack, all wolves hunted for him, the pack grew in his name, and every drop of blood was dedicated to Amarok to elevate our souls. Amarok was an immortal ice wolf known for passing from spirit to spirit. He was a warrior and had carried out serious hunts and battles for his pack. That’s why every century, he finds a new body to remind new packs of this belief. But as for me...
I had learned a lot about them as a wolf until I realized I was a fox. I’m talking about knowledge that could almost destroy them all. First of all, they were all killers, yes, including my brother. When they transformed into wolf form, their identities didn’t change; only their appearances did. The mind inside was still the same, meaning they killed knowingly. But of course, we didn’t call it "killer" in the pack. We were good hunters, and for us, everything was food with hunting potential. But the wolves had some downsides too.
For example, their distinctions. Double-tailed ones were hunters; they hunted to meet the pack's food needs, while the winged ones were defense; they were masters at weakening the enemy because they could directly control the raw energy of living beings. And our most important rule was, "Never hunt alone; the pack is strength." This referred to the first wolf, "Pugnans Lupus Primus," meaning the first fighting wolf. But we called him Lobo; it was his teaching, and the pack heeded it.
He was the spirit of the forest, maintaining balance, never allowing unnecessary loss of life or unfair hunting. He was a noble being, and great respect was given to him; his descendants were warriors who protected the forest and the spirits within it, just like him. The oldest of our tribe, Senex and Mariam, were the only wolves who could bend fire and earth, but Senex had recently passed away, leaving Mariam behind. The spirit within her had been bestowed upon her by Amarok.
I loved learning our history; every piece of information brought me closer to myself. Until my brother noticed some things and learned that I could no longer hide the truth.
One evening, we had gone to the riverbank with Hilary and Lenora; a few males from our pack were there, including my brother's closest friend, Alvin. They were joking with each other, showing off their masculinity, while we were lying in the sand and chatting.
Harley: Lenora, isn’t that Frank? I think he’s consumed too many hormones; look, he’s burying his head in the sand. *starts laughing*
Hilary: You can’t be serious; is that Frank Scotch?
Lenora: Ugh, I’m so embarrassed now. *covers her face with her hand*
Harley: Hey, calm down, girl; let’s play a little game.
Hilary: What are you going to do?
Harley: Watch and learn.
I turned my eyes to that side and tried to enter Ryan's mind; although it was a bit difficult, I managed to slip in. I guided his hand to the sand and directed him to throw the wet sand at Alvin. Suddenly, they were all stunned.
Alvin: You’re dead, Ryan! *laughs*
Ryan: I swear I didn’t do that! *confused*
And they all started throwing sand at each other. Lenora was looking at me, bewildered.
Lenora: How exactly did you do that? Can you control the earth?
Harley: It was something I kept hidden, but yes, I can control the earth.
Hilary: That’s amazing! We should celebrate; that’s really an interesting ability.
I leaned closer to her eyes and, while looking at her with my angry, bruised eyes,
Harley: No one will know about this! *angrily*
Lenora: Get a grip, Harley! *shouts*
Harley: So let’s keep this a secret.
Hilary: No problem, Lenora; this can be our secret.
Lenora: We’re always by your side, Harley.
Harley: Thank you.
At that moment, we had our eyes on the males walking towards us. Ryan had his hand on Syrus's shoulder, and they were heading our way.
Hilary: Oh no, Ryan is coming this way! *gets excited
Here’s the translation of the text to English:
Harley: Calm down, you’ll be with him tonight *smiles*
Lenora: We can arrange that at tonight's party *smiles*
Hilary: Girls!
Ryan: What are you going to arrange?
Harley: That doesn’t concern you at all, Casanova.
Lenora: So, you mean you’re not going to invite us to tonight's party, right Harley? *looks at her with a smile*
Harley: Of course, which starboy is going to take me to the party? *rolls her eyes and asks*
Tom: What do you say, Harley? Do you want to have a good night? *smiles*
Harley: Watch your words, Tom Eros, or I’ll put holes in my teeth.
Ryan: Wow, someone’s angry.
Frank: What about you, Lenora? Do you want to come with me?
Lenora got up, jumped into Frank's lap, and hugged him.
Lenora: How can I say no to this, my love?
Alvin: Have fun, kids, I’m out of here.
Ryan: Dude, where are you going so soon? What about the party?
Alvin: Every day is a party for me, Ryan, and a night with my beautiful girlfriend is worth every party.
I stuck my tongue out and made a disgusted gesture, and he flipped me off as he walked away.
Harley: So you sluts better party tonight; I’ll be in my cave.
Diego: It’s a shame that the attractive wolf girls are away from the party in their caves.
Everyone laughs loudly.
Harley: Is that a proposal?
He approached me, showing his sharp wolf teeth.
Diego: Would you like it to be?
I approached him too, showing my teeth.
Harley: Aren’t you afraid of me, wolf boy?
Diego: But you seem like you’re afraid to come? *laughs*
Harley: Girls! Get ready, we’re going to a party *smiles*
Everyone started to cheer and howl in unison. We had returned home with the girls and started to get ready.
Here is the English translation of the provided text:
And I was wearing a burgundy dress. We were ready to go to the party house. We left the house and headed towards the party house. It was a large house in the forest. We got out of the car and fixed our eyes on this magnificent structure.
Hilary: Do you see what I see?
Lenora: Yes, sister, I see it too.
Harley: Pull yourselves together, girls.
Hilary: She's right, Lenora. It's not us they will be looking at.
Harley: Exactly, now let’s go inside.
We walked in, and it was a full-on party inside; music was playing, and everyone was either drinking or making out. Frank approached us and said,
Frank: Hey gorgeous, what a terrifying charm you have! Come with me, and you, Hilary, Ryan said he’s waiting for you in the room downstairs.
While each of the girls went their separate ways, I went to the kitchen to grab a beer. The counter was overflowing with beer glasses and drink debris. I felt a breath on my neck and a hand on my waist; my instincts told me it was Diego. I grabbed the hand on my waist and pulled myself around.
Harley: Hello, Casanova.
Diego: You look very elegant.
Harley: So you liked it? *shows her teeth*
Diego: So you liked me? *leans in*
At that moment, I opened the beer in my hand with my teeth and took a sip.
Harley: Are you going to flirt with me all night?
Diego: Do you make a lot of noise?
Harley: Why not? *smiles*
He took my hand and led me upstairs to a room just under the roof, locked the door, and turned to me.
Diego: No one can disturb us here.
Harley: Whose house is this?
Diego: You're looking right at it, gorgeous.
Harley: Looks like there's a lot of money in the mafia.
Diego: Hahaha, it would be nice, but I earn my money legally.
Harley: I like a legal mafia.
Diego: Do you want to talk?
Harley: Talk less, work more, you little brat. *pushes him onto the bed*
This was my first time, so I was trying not to be scared. And Diego was quite appetizing as well. After a while, the moment had come; he took a condom and ripped it open sharply, handing it to me.
Diego: Are you excited? *asks tensely*
Harley: I'm nervous, are you okay?
Diego: Stop talking and continue. *becomes aggressive*
Harley: I don’t want to, Diego, that’s enough.
Diego: What!?
Harley: You heard me, get off me, you’re scaring me.
Diego: What are you, a whore who shows but doesn’t give? Shut up and continue!
My eyes had turned wild with anger, and I roared with that anger.
Harley: I TOLD YOU TO GET OFF ME IMMEDIATELY!
Diego: Shit! What the hell!
Harley: You will not touch anyone against their will again, do you understand me, you *whore*!
Diego, starting to tremble with fear, said in a shaky voice:
Diego: You’re a fox! A devil! Alpha will find out about you, you creature!
He jumped out of the window and ran towards the forest. Now I was really in trouble. Because of that idiot, my secret was about to be revealed, so I immediately followed him. While running after him, I shouted, "Diego, stop!" He replied, "Never, you psycho, everyone will learn this truth." I had weakened from fear and noticed that my whole body was changing, starting from my paws; my raw energy was fading, and I was gradually becoming a fox. But it didn't matter anymore; everything was going to be ruined because of that fool Diego. We ran through the forest for a bit, and finally, we reached the den. Diego immediately headed towards my brother's house and, taking on human form, hurriedly knocked on the door. I transformed back into my human form and tried to stop him. The door opened, and
Alpha: "Why are you banging on my door at this hour of the night, Diego, Harley? What's going on here?"
Diego: "Your sister is a demon, Alpha! I saw her with my own eyes; She's a fox!"
Alpha: "What are you talking about? We all saw him transform on Lyca night."
Harley: "This stupid kid drank too much at the party and tried to touch me. He's making up this lie to tell you."
Alpha: "What! You died!"
Diego: "No, no, you have to listen to me! Yes, I was going to touch her, but she didn't want me to, and he threatened me with a fox spirit!"
At that moment, everyone gathered around us, whispering. Lenora and Hilary had come up behind me.
Hilary: "What's going on? Are you okay, Harley?"
Harley: "I'm fine; this stupid kid tried to touch me."
Lenora: "Is that true, you piece of trash?"
Diego: "No, it's not! Tell them the truth, Harley! Tell them how he threatened me with a fox!"
Harley: "That didn't happen! Stop lying!"
Hilary: "What does that mean?"
Harley: "It doesn't mean anything; everyone shut up!" *his voice thickens*
Alpha: "Harley!" *surprised*
I turned to my brother angrily and said,
Harley: "What is it! I'm tired of everyone saying something to me! I've always had to protect myself because of you narrow-minded parasites!" *transforms into a fox*
Everyone was looking at me in panic. I looked at myself and realized I had turned into a fox. I immediately ran towards the forest to get away from there.
Alpha: "Harley, stop!"
Diego: "I told you so."
Alpha: "You perverted jerk! Once this is over, you'll get what you deserve. Now shut your mouth; I need to get my sister out of this crisis!" *follows Harley*
Alpha: "Hey, beautiful, it's just me. Don't be afraid; no one can hurt you. I'll personally take care of that jerk. Please, make a sound."
I was crying out of fear; I had no strength left. And he must have heard my voice because he appeared right above me.
Alpha: "Sweetheart, I'm here. Please don't cry anymore."
Harley: "Forgive me for keeping this from you. You were so happy talking about me being a wolf while raising me that I couldn't tell you."
Alpha: *saddens* My beautiful-hearted brother, it’s my fault that I raised you like a wolf, and you had to escape from your own identity. *He places his hands on my cheeks and looks into my eyes* This will never be a problem for us, and it won’t matter what kind of spirit you have inside; what matters is what you feel in your heart. Now come, let’s hug.
I approached him and hugged him tightly. I felt a great weight lift off my shoulders; I was happy that I wouldn’t have to hide anymore. Our biggest problem now was revealing this truth to the pack.
Harley: What about the pack? They will exclude me and kick me out.
Alpha: The council will decide on that, but if we prepare a very good defense, we can overcome it.
Harley: Or I can convince them all?
Alpha: That could be a Plan B, of course, but you need to be trained; a fox needs to train you in detail.
Harley: And? I don’t think we have any foxes.
Alpha: There is one, but you need to promise me something.
Harley: Merlin? Is his name Merlin?
Alpha: H-how do you know this?
Harley: Rule one: I can read minds.
Alpha: I guess I’ll have to get used to that; maybe it will be useful if you can read a mind.
Harley: Of course, bro. What’s the promise you want?
Alpha: You will never, ever harm anyone. You know about the devil foxes, what they look like. You may not be like them right now, but you need to promise me that you won’t turn into one of them.
Harley: If you’re going to punish Diego properly, why not?
Alpha: Yes, that matter is settled; I think it’s a reasonable agreement. *They shake hands*
Harley: Agreed. *smiles*
As I was returning home, a fear enveloped me, but I was determined to manipulate them in any case. There was no other way, either with the pack or without it. When we arrived at the den, my brother immediately sent me home and went to the big wolves. I was sitting at home, praying to Amarok. My brother was trying to convince the council; I could hear them focusing on their sound frequencies, arguing. Moreover, they wanted to burn me, but my brother was fiercely defending me. Eventually, they decided there would be a trial, and my brother came home after leaving there. I went to my room, and in the tension, I couldn’t stop thinking about what would happen tomorrow, and I fell asleep without realizing it.
