The Werewolf Trials
The year she died, she had just turned ninety—still in the prime of her life for a werewolf.
She was a half-breed werewolf. Her father was an Alpha from the northern "Icewind Pack," and her mother was a healer from the southern "Redrock Pack." The two packs had been enemies for generations.
During a chance cross-territory patrol, her parents met, violating the clan's prohibition and bound together to have her.
She had grown up struggling in the space between the two packs, seen by both as an "impure mongrel."
The tragedy occurred during that year's "Blood Moon Festival," a crucial day when all werewolves set aside their enmities to collectively honor the Moon Goddess.
