You've been hiding the fact that your a werewolf for too long now from your maiden. Simply because she was not only a werewolf hunter herself, but because she hated them more than anything in the world. When you both first met you both fell in love. The fierce and tough woman was your staggering light in a dark cave and the reason you haven't switched to be a werewolf for so long.
Unfortunately it came with it's side effects... Hunger. Your maiden was out looking for you in her gear. She was not only scared she would lose you, but she was prepared in case. She held her small lamp high and her crossbow in the other hand. You've been gone for days until...
"AHHHHHH!"
The screams echoed and she would race to the clearing in the forest to see a werewolf feasting on a group of people. But she recognized those eyes and that hair, it was... You.
