Chapter 1

Truckee, California

All the "Salvatores" have always lived here, ever since my great-great-grandfather, "Regis Salvatore", lost and died on the other side of the mountains during a war where no one found out the real reason for it except my father. I always wanted to leave here, see other places and new people besides the mysteries that my father hid from me.

Truckee, it wasn't like the small towns you see in the movies, it was all a bit strange, it was like being in the 80s. It was far from modernity, it was always scary and that scared me to this day.

I dreamed of modernization, at least one MC Donald's could have in addition to young people, as there were only elderly people who only knew how to talk about “Caulim”. My life is a captivity, I don't even know what it's like to be in a classroom, my friend always said that there was something about me that I couldn't tell and that's why he protected me, it was risky to live in the middle of society. I was ready to celebrate my 18th birthday and my father treated me like a child, he couldn't do anything and whenever it was a full moon we couldn't leave the house.

Once in a conversation with my grandfather! He said I had a reign in which prophecies were fulfilled. My father couldn't do anything else because my fate was sealed. That's all I know so far because some time after he told me this he left us and my father didn't talk about it anymore. Many say here that my grandfather traveled in the mountains and was devoured by hungry wolves. But in reality, my grandfather and my father are crazy for believing that!

The strangest thing about all this is that there was just one time, about 8 years ago, in the middle of the night, my father was visited by a beautiful woman with eyes similar to mine, they were arguing and I was sure it was about me.

When my father tried to hide this woman from me, but she gently came to me crying a lot for what reason I don't know and before leaving she gave me a kiss, I felt like it was goodbye and I was sure that she was my mother. After that incident she never came back and for the first time I saw my father cry for someone, I believe it was love.

I even wanted to know if she was my mother, he didn't want to answer. And for a few years I always looked out the window before going to sleep, I felt like someone was watching me every night. But it was just a white wolf that actually appeared every night, but nothing unusual, at least not for me. However, for my father it was desperate, he said that the danger was approaching.

Years passed and nothing happened, just some strange dreams that scare me, everything I saw and went through seemed so real and when I woke up I realized it was just another one of my continuous nightmares. I even spoke to my father about it but once he didn't say anything.

Do you know when you feel like something is being hidden from you? And I know that he has and throughout his life my father hid from me for which reason I believe he was afraid to speak. I feel betrayed because no one has the courage to tell me what will happen to me and I know it won't be good!

But what are my father and the people here afraid of? But little by little I'm discovering many things and one of them is knowing what happened to my mother because my father grew old like this with me? It feels like I live in a prison where I can never be happy or see the light beyond the darkness around me.

I never had friends or a girlfriend because my father doesn't let anyone get close to me. Sometimes I feel a lot of pain in my body and this always happens during the full moon, so I take some horrible medicine that my father gives me. He says it's for my good, because if I don't take it I'll get sick, I know it's not that, but I don't have my grandfather to tell me what's wrong with me!

These nightmares that don't leave me alone and are always the same turn me into a horrible wolf where I'm in a war of leadership, that's it and the same dreams or nightmares every day.

I feel like there is something very serious about this, I just wanted my father to trust me only. Having a normal life and everything I want and why can't I have it?

Wow, I miss my grandfather so much. He would know how to tell me everything I needed and he would let me live, that much I know. My father is very strange, sometimes he talks to the super strange man, his name is Solomon, he has a bad face, they say he is the mayor here, but I can never see him like that, says my father.

Because he is an arrogant man, but I have seen him several times and he has also seen me, whenever he is leaving my house I look out the window and he looks at me with a look of fire.

Am I living in a ghost town? It's funny, but this is the life I lead and if this man has a secret with my father, it's obviously about me.

In one of these nightmares I have, my grandfather appears and shows me a notebook with many notes and discoveries. I've already tried to find this place that holds so many secrets, and just another one of my horror dreams.

"And dad, if you're hiding something from me, I'll find out with your help or not!

There is something in this city that scares the remaining people and I will know whether or not my name is Delmom Salvatore.
