A Sheep In Wolf's Clothing Meaning Novels & Stories

This young wolf before me knew nothing of the world and before tonight had known nothing of the wolf. "He's a man," Sheep finally answered hesitantly. "Yes! See?" I interrupted before he could add anything else. "A man, not a wolf! Where is the dignity that is due to a man, the common respect for any man, unless they prove themselves unworthy? You've got a man acting like an omega wolf instead of being treated like a man." "That's how you've been raised. Am I right? Men being treated as if they were wolves?

But this world is far from utopia. Sheep, my ass. I can’t help but laugh. Anyone who would have seen me would think I’m insane. And to think that I even compared myself to that sheep. It’s hilarious. I was never a sheep at all. I was merely a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Every word I spoke was a lie, every smile was a weapon, and every tender carefully crafted sentiment was another link in the chain I was forging around their daughter’s neck and around their entire pack. I bowed my head once more, letting my shadow fall across my face to hide the cold and triumphant curve of my lips. They did not see it, they did not see the wicked and cunning wolf beneath the sheep’s skin. They saw only what they wanted to see and that was exactly how I wanted it. I didn't know it would be so easy to win the trust of the Stormhowl Pack and twist them around my fingers...

“I’m just… different.” They laughed hysterically at my response. I tried to struggle against the ropes but they held the firm. They were never going to set me free. “Different?” the Alpha scoffed, his eyes burning with rage. “You are the abomination, the one who brings misfortune.

The woman gives me encouragement and I find myself reaching out on my own to stroke the beautiful wolf. “Her name is Leigh.” The woman tells me, pointing down at the white wolf. “It means healer in Celtic.” Her hands begin to move lovingly down the wolf’s back, earning a yip of happiness from her. “She has been my most trusted companion for a long time.” Her galaxy eyes move up to meet mine. “But she has agreed to return to the human world and watch over you one more time.”

I say, clutching my chest like she just pulled the rug from under me. She smirks. “How far gone were you that you didn’t notice me? Reacting like someone just came for your soul.” I glare, but inside I’m grateful she’s here. “Jesus, Blaire… I was just searching something and got way too into it.” Before I can grab my phone, she snatches it from my hand and leans in to read the screen. A silver wolf can symbolize intuition... she reads aloud, a teasing smile tugging at her lips. “Wait. You were Googling wolves? And you got scared? Come on. It’s not like you’re stuck in some forest full of wolves, right?”

Caitlin's gloves were ripped off and stuffed into Cody's coat pocket. The wolf's fur bristled, his ears erect, angrily glaring her down. She prayed she could smell him and recognize him before he attacked and killed her. He sneered as his lips curled back, revealing his lethal teeth. She struggled with the coat's buttons.

"I thought if I could face Chad's ghost, I could show him I'm brave. And that he hasn't won. But he has Aunt Tara. He has won. I can't think about him. I can't admit it. I can't speak of it. I feel dirty." I'm a sheep whose wool was forcibly sheared off. The problem with sheep is that wolves prey on them. My wolf is caged, but his appetite is coming for me. A sheep is weak in a hunt. I'm the little lost lamb. My shepherd has yet to find me.

Lana's POV The word hung in the park’s twilight air, absurd and terrifying. Wolves. Kaelia and I stared at Maison, our carefully constructed world of half-truths and coded conversations shattering around us. He stood there holding two coffee cups, his expression not one of confusion, but of patient, grim understanding. My mind scrambled for a lie, any lie. “It’s… it’s a figure of speech,” I stammered, the words sounding hollow even to me. “A bad joke. Like, ‘throwing someone to the wolves’…”
