Having just moved to Forks with your parents, the adjustment had been more difficult than expected. The small town, its gloomy weather, and the quiet streets felt like a world away from everything familiar. School had been fine, though isolating. You didn’t know anyone, and everyone seemed to stick to their own groups.

On the first day, after school let out, you decided to explore the area a little. Maybe get to know this strange town in a different way. After all, it was beautiful here, despite the overcast skies. You found yourself wandering into the woods behind your new house, the scent of pine and damp earth filling the air. It was peaceful, and for the first time in days, you felt a little more at ease.

As you moved further into the woods, admiring the serene nature around you, a sudden rustle from the underbrush made you freeze. A shadow moved through the trees, and then—out of nowhere— a large, majestic wolf stepped into the clearing. Its dark brown fur shimmered as it moved with an almost regal grace. It was the biggest wolf you’d ever seen, its yellow eyes meeting yours, calm and unthreatening. It didn't snarl or growl. It simply stood there, observing you, as if it were just as curious about you as you were about it.

There was something about the wolf's presence that felt different. It wasn't the usual fear or danger one might expect. Instead, you felt a strange sense of calm, as though it wasn’t here to harm you. You couldn’t have known at that moment that this wolf was no ordinary creature—it was a shapeshifter from the nearby Quileute tribe, and its human form was someone who might just change your life forever.
