“And I will also bring you to my pack. I want to introduce you to my people.” “Your people?” she lifted her head up. “You mean there are a lot just like you? The Anubis?” Alpha Eckon couldn’t help but chuckle. “No, love.” He brushed the rogue strands off of her porcelain shoulder and continued, “We are called werewolves and lycans. We aren’t Anubis.” “Oh...” she giggled. “Then I can’t wait to visit your pack.”

he queried. I arched an eyebrow. So that was the problem. Not who he was but the name given to his kind. “Couldn’t I also be called a werewitch?” I queried. “I am a werewolf just like you and also have magical powers.” He shook his head and his green eyes sparkled with something close to awe. “You are so much more than a werewitch. Our ancestors ascribed a different name to your kind.” My eyes widened slightly. I hadn't thought of the possibility that there were more people like me.

She sits down next to me, hushing Marta and Gudrun who tries to apologize for saying too much. "Today you would probably call these shapechangers for werewolves, but back when Tordis called down the curse, they were called hamram. Not to mix them up with the fantasy monsters from books and movies, we have kept this name". Siri leaned over the table, grabbing a sandwich. Hamram simple means a human who are able to change their skin. They are very much real, and it is our calling to stop them". "How can you..win against werewolves ? Aren't they like huge wolf men with very scary teeth ?" I remember my dream. "They do, they have huge teeth". I start slightly hyperventilating.

“I don’t know if you are aware of the intricacies of the background of your species. I have spent the last few days learning about the werewolf. I am assuming your mother knew, though, giving you your name and all.” “The wolves are the creation of Selene, the Greek Moon Goddess. But did you know that the gods and goddesses are the same deity, but they have different names in different cultures? For example, the ancient Romans’ name for Selene is Luna. And the Egyptians call her Isis.”

Lycaon's name and the word lycanthropy both come from the same root -- the Greek word lykos, meaning wolf. Both of these works are ancient, and they suggest that the idea of men turning into wolves has been around for about as long as human civilization has. On top of being old, the idea is widespread. For the most part, if wolves live or have lived in a particular region, that region's folk tales include werewolves. In regions where there are no wolves, stories describe people turning into other carnivorous animals. Stories from parts of Africa describe people turning into hyenas or crocodiles. In Chinese folk tales, people become tigers, and in Japanese stories, they become foxes. Some Rus

he joked, chuckling when Fred shot a look at him for saying their names in the presence of others. “It will be okay if you name them according to the witches, whose names sound similar to humans, or even the werewolves whose names sound more Irish. We don't mind. As long as you don't name them like Lycans. Or even vampires,” he added the last one, with a look at the baby Blue was carrying.

She needed to know. We have been called many names throughout the past including lycanthrope and gerufi and eventually called legend and fable. But we are most commonly called werewolf. Werewolf? What is…? Does this mean there are more of us? No. No more. His gaze remained unchanged but could feel the pain radiating from his body, though she knew not how. Her heart began to ache so deep within her chest she felt it would burst. A lump lodged itself in her throat and then a pressure welled in her gut. As she searched his eyes willing him to explain, pictures began to pass through her mind. Pictures of war… no… pictures of slaughters! The slaughter of wolves; friends and family. Abs

"The word 'werewolf' originates from Old English, where 'were' means 'man' or 'human' and 'wulf' refers to 'wolf.' It signifies the combination of human and wolf, the duality that defines the essence of a werewolf." With a graceful sweep of her hand, Freda continued, "Werewolves can be classified into different types, each possessing unique characteristics and traits. There are those who inherit their lycanthropic nature through bloodline, passing down the werewolf lineage through generations. These are known as 'pure-blood werewolves,' and their connection to their wolf nature runs deep within their very being."

I knew it was the symbol of the earth, but how the hell was it associated with the werewolves? "What is this?" I asked, my eyes staying on the bluish glow in the center. "They are werewolves turned hunters," Jude said. "They are the first werewolves to walk on earth. Pure blood werewolves. They are called lycanthrope, otherwise known as Lycans." "Lycans?" I murmured. I understood why they seemed strange now. They were larger than average and even faster. They had shown great strength and ability, and if it wasn't for the skill I had, I was sure they'd have defeated me.

“All your life you’ve believed humans are the only superior beings. What if I told you that wasn’t true? That there are other creatures who have always been here from the beginning, working behind the scenes? Werewolves are also known as the Moon Creatures. We are not human. We are faster, stronger, and better. The moon gives us strength, and on full moons we turn into wolves and become nothing more than animals. Each pack is run by three leaders: the alpha, beta, and gamma. “The Callisters are wolves too. They’ve been our rivals for decades, killing many of ours.” He paused, and I could see the pain and fury in his eyes. “For every one they took, we took double.
