The Stand-In Luna
She was wolf and woman both, her presence commanding as if the stars themselves bent toward her.
Somehow, even without knowing or understanding how, I knew with a knowing in my heart that could not be denied that this woman was the one who gave rise to us all. She was the first. The first Lycan. The first god amongst the beasts of the world.
Her howl split the heavens, summoning a people into being: the Lycans. Her children. Her warriors. Stronger, taller, mightier than anything that walked on two or four legs. They were fire in flesh, made to rule, to guard the balance between the wild and the divine.
