Is it that time of the month again?

A subreddit dedicated to the most underrated awesome beasts known as werewolves. Vampires and Zombies suck ass. I mean, figuratively. Because literally, they do suck ass and other body parts.


Rules:
  1. Werewolves aren't real. /r/Werewolves is a community for those who wish to engage with werewolves as a fictional genre or trope. Users who wish to engage in discussion of "real" werewolves should move to supernatural, occult, or other related communities.

  2. No Horny Posting. /r/Werewolves no longer permits the posting of pornography or other explicit content. You should find a NSFW acceptable subreddit for this content. This includes comments.

  3. No sharing links or images of werewolf attire (printed or screen tee shirts, stickers, hats, or patches). Bots can and will enter the comment section of any post talking about clothing, and to reduce bot activity and protect users, this content must be banned.

Here’s how the werewolf iceberg is coming along, mostly with your guys’ suggested entries. Thanks for the help so far.

Again, if you have any suggestions for entries, be it pieces of media, legends, theories, or even specific niches and characters, comment them and what tier to put them in. Also, if you have any suggestions for moving an entry already on the iceberg to another tier, comment that as well.

JULYCANTHROPY 2019 Issue 2

The second issue is about complete. Got some corrections that needs to take place. This would mean, I'm going to make the first issue free upon Global Comix, Tapas, and WebToons. Trailer would be under production.

Second, my Howltober special. I am sorry I haven't returned to it. For some reason the posts kept being stopped and upon reaching the Center of the month, I had realized, that story is a lot larger than I thought.

Lastly, the Storyhunter Pack Studio is looking for new recruits who would like to create materials and spread the feast of stories around. I will have to be real, I will commission. However, the pay would not be high. I hope that when the studio gains enough traction from all the help, pay would increase. Otherwise, consider on subscribing to the Studio on YouTube and offer any stories you have and I'll narrate and create them.

I enjoy hearing from you all again

Inspired by another post on this subreddit, I decided to start working on a werewolf iceberg, and I’m looking for suggestions to add to it. It can be legends, pieces of media, theories, even specific characters and niches.

Just comment down the suggestion for the iceberg and the tier where I should put it.

80s/90s werewolf story/cassette

I’m looking for the name of a werewolf story/cassette that came out in the late 80s/early 90s. It was about government created wolves that were called I believe Lobots or Lompocs or something of that sort.

A Specific Werewolf Trial

I know this is a long shot, but it's driving me INSANE!

In HS, I did a project discussing different "monster legends" and some of the real world explanations that could have gone into how they gained traction. I remember reading about the werewolf trials in Europe and being enthralled with the cases and the stories around them. One case in particular that I always remember, is the case where a village/town shot a werewolf in the street. They buried the body in the town square and hung the rifle in the church.

Problem is, I can't remember what the name of the village was. It's been 18 years and I can't remember enough of the details to find it. Does anyone have any info that might help? I've bought books and searched the internet and can't seem to find it!

The rest of my story. Titled wolf in me.

Flow stayed in his wolf form. He growled”I was cursed to be a wolf. I still will help you. Beware of hunters. I can fix your clothing issue.” I realized I had nothing on.

Flow grabbed some clothes for me. He growled quietly”These clothes are very durable. I kept them for a rainy day. It will take two times being a wolf for these to be ripped.

The red hoodie will control you not becoming a wolf. It blocks the moon, only with the hood up. As soon as the hood is down, the wolf comes out. We need to train. There is a village nearby. It never had a wolf problem.

I want you to kill all of them. There are different jobs there. I would be worried of 2. A arsonist an a jailor. A arsonist can burn you alive. A jailor can jail you. You can kill it, but the town will know your identity.

I know this a lot of info. But here is your clothes. Keep that hoodie on if you don’t want to be a wolf.” I put the hoodie on. It was bulky.

The hood was good head size. I didn’t know it now, but this hood would become life saving. I looked at the rest of my clothes. I had a t-shirt, jeans and boots. Weird outfit, but it would make do.

Train the wolf way

Flow and I walked outside. He lead me to a training place. The place had a training dummy, wooden archery board. Flow growled at me”Hit this dummy as hard as you can. This will improve your strength. The archery board will be for tomorrow.”

I ran at the dummy. I did nothing to it. Flow wasn’t fazed. He growled grandly”This is going to take a while. How can I make you a killer.” Flow ran at me. I bolted out of his way. He was impressed. I was lead inside.

He growled at me”I for sure thought I would kill you. I’m impressed by your reaction time. Wolves need precise focus to kill there targets. The dummy will need some more work.

For now, hide from the moon light. Your hood doesn’t activate till after the 1st night.” This is gonna be fun.

Hearing the wolf way.

We wolves have very good hearing. It helps very well. Because, I overheard Flow growling”I have something you like. He’s a new beast. If you curse him, I can teach him properly. Make sure it is on a full moon night. Alright thanks.”

I know knew what I needed to do. Flow was trying to make me like him. I kept sleeping. But knowing this was crucial for my future.

The next day went along as normal. There was a storm last night, so the archery board is gone. Flow told me tonight something special was happening. I had a plan on how to escape.

I found out my hood finally works. My plan would consist of me running and my magical hood. Flow was finally sleeping, wolves are very nightly owls.

Let’s get outta here!!!!

I tiptoed out the door. I was very happy, but kept being cautious. I then heard a wolf growl. It sounded small.

I then saw a wolf pup. He was being guarded by a she-wolf. The she-wolf growled at me. This awoke Flow.

He sprinted outside. I hid in a thick bush. Flow howled loudly”He must of gotten away. This is going all wrong. I need the witch.” He then walked back inside.

I bolted in a northwestern way. I didn’t know the woods very well. Trees were very thick. The wind was breezy, it was huffing and puffing at my hoodie.

I didn’t want to turn into a ferocious wolf. The hood was getting more cozy.

My hoodie was nothing much. Before I knew it, I ran into a town. I knew this town, but didn’t remember it’s name. People saw me, giving me concerning looks.

One man spoke at me” So how’s life. I see you like being a wolf. What is your fur color? Cool outfit. That hood, so familiar.” I was confused.

I said”How? I have done nothing wrong. Thanks for liking my clothes.” He spoke” News spread fast. You’re welcome.” I still didn’t know the town.

It was rural, trapped in the woods. The people were very concerned by me. They clearly were terrified of me. I haven’t eaten anyone.

I was confused on my options. I ultimately decided on just hiding for the night. I found a thick bush. I wanted to try to leave as quickly.

The bush wasn’t comfy, but it would make do. As the night moved along, I was getting more and more scared.

This world didn’t like wolves very much. I was told that they would burn you up. I’m not a big fire fan.

So that would make me ache up. I then suddenly felt something on back. It was big and rocklike. I looked back and saw a big old ogre.

The ogre was big and greenly. He had disgusting teeth. He spoke in a odd tone”Meat. I sure would like some right now.” He put me in an old wagon.

The wagon was rocky and uncomfortable. I didn’t know where I was going, and I was terrified.

I was just a wolf, what did he want with me? Maybe my clothes, for his closet. Or my powers. The cart rode past many beautiful places. The cart was slow moving.

My hoodie was protecting me from becoming a beast. I looked out and saw the sun rising over the land.

It was a cool sight to see. It reminded me of a better time and life. When I didn’t have to deal with fur and my pride. It was seemingly hot on this day. Bad day to wear a pull over hoodie.

I was then brought to a cave. No not a cave, a giant hole. It was rocky, and smelled disgusting.

The ogre sat me down. He spoke” Hello. You have something I would like. But first, you need some fur.”

He then shoot a giant light at me. I then felt fur grow out of me. My chest wasn’t mine, but an external beasts.

My legs were long and hairy. My head became that of a pesky animal. Finally, there was tension in my back.

There was a long beautiful tail. Finally, the transformation was over. The ogre spoke” Good very good. Now, you’re gonna need some rest.”

He then made me fall to sleep. I could overhear loud banging. I wonder” What does he want me for?”

I then overheard talking. Almost human like. I made out the conversation.

“Nice job Pete. He’s so beautiful. My how big your teeth are Mr. Wolf?” Next thing you know, I’m being carried and placed somewhere dark.

I finally was able to open my eyes. And what I saw was horrifying.

Stoned in I was behind stone bars. It was very very big. Like really big. There was a giant bed, a bathroom and a kitchen.

A ogre came to my cell. He spoke this” Hello. Welcome to the master cell. This cell is completely unescapable. So have fun in here.”

Rule #1 Ok so I got a list of rules for the prison. Here they are in order. 1: Don’t be a nuisance. Eh easy enough.

2: Do not try to escape. This is a bit hard for me. See I need to get out of here, so that I can finally be free from captivity.


It was a couple nights later. I was sleeping in my bed. When I heard something loud. 

My nose smelled something good. Something that would save my life. PIG. 

You see, wolves have a long history with pigs. They beat our tails every time. 

They build these houses. Then a wolf would blow two down. Then finally, the wolf would get burned. 

So yeah, I was ready to beat their skin off. Oh you piggies, you aren’t ready for the big bad wolf. 

Yummy pigs

It was still night. I snuck out by using a vent. Finally, I can get outta here. 

It was rainy and dark. I then saw them, the pigs. 

I sprinted towards them. My stomach is howling in excitement. 

The first pig was shocked. So I was able to eat him. 

The next piggy went to a little house. It was made of sticks. I could taste the fear in him, so tasty. 

I growled”Oh little one, so young. Well, can I come in? If not, I will blow your house down!!” 

This terrified pig oinked”No Mr. Wolf, I can’t let you in. Please don’t eat me up.”

Oh little one, all the better to eat you. This house is gone! And so are you!! 

Awooooo!! That felt good. Now that’s how you eat. My predatory instincts are in. 

One more pig. Just one more meal. And then I will be satisfied. 

Oh goodness, I need to hide…. 

My my Medusa!! 
Now that is scary. A Medusa head outside a house!! The building material is glass. 

Yes, I know what happens if I look at the head. I die. Wait, I can go behind the house!!

Yes, time to eat good. House gone. And now, pig gone. 

But the head fell down. And it turned me into stone!! 

I didn’t eat Red!! 

Uh, I’m finally free. That was painful. Wait, why am I being hanged!! 

I heard a voice say this”My pooch, how big your teeth are. I guess you used them to eat my daughter!!” 

I was stunned!! I didn’t eat the girl. Is it because I am a wolf? 

I growled at him”I did not eat your girl. Trust me. I just ate pigs. Question, is your girl Red?” 

The guy was mad. He shouted this”Yes. How do you know that? Is that why you’re near this house? Cause you satisfied your hunger after eating my girl. Kill this wolf!!” 

Well, I survived death once. Let’s do it again!! 

Laughing to my feast… 
Oh, these people are bad at their job. Cause I’m having fun with this. 

I let them touch my arms. And they put my paws in handcuffs. I didn’t let my guard down. 

Why? Cause I have a wolf like plan to escape death. Let’s have a feast of stunned faces. 

I was set on a stake. They trapped my paws in iron. And my legs. 

They laughed in my face. I pretended to be scared. So they got confidence. 

It didn’t take long for the event to start. It’s time to play my game. 

A man boomed this”Dear people, it is a good day. Why is that? Cause look what I found. A wolf looking for trouble. This beast ate pigs whole, and destroyed their homes. So, he’s gonna now be hanged!!” 

And with that, I performed my trick. I used a key I stole, and freed myself. And you know what’s the best part? 

No one saw anything. I escaped freely, and ran onto a random boat I saw. Now I’m finally free!! 

The last howl 

Well not for long. Cause the boat led me to an island. But this island had a mansion on it. And the mansion was playing real time werewolf. 

And you know what, it was decided I would be the murderer. Of course the actual werewolf is the murderer. 

Now hears a good kicker. If I somehow won, I would be granted money. Actual legit cash. 

So they don’t want me in my wolf form. So I got out of it, it took awhile. 

So now I’m in a hoodie and pants. Very teenager looking. Not fit for a party. 

Well finally that is much better. I have suit and jeans on. Very formal. 

Now time to play the game. And make bank. 

Live or join the deceased 

The game is simple. Every hour, night falls. Everyone goes to sleep but me. 

Then I select who to kill. Not actually eating, just using my claws to tear the victim to shreds. 

Every morning, they try to find me out. If I get voted out, I will be shot with silver and die. 

If I last, I get money to escape home. And write my history. 

It was the first night. I got a lay of the home. And went for my first kill. 

I snuck into the room, and sent the person packing. That felt good. Well, time to go to sleep. 

Finally it’s day time. I woke up, and went outside my room. I was then greeted by a man in a suit. 

He spoke to me”Greetings stranger. It seems that the wolf attacked us. We need to be diligent. If we are scared, the furry beast will come for us all. Weird. You smell like a dog!! No, like a big hairy wolf!! Your teeth also look more wolf like. And your eyes look yellowish. Have you been howling at the moon lately?” 

Wow that was a lot. I can’t even process that much info. 

I spoke to him”I have no wolf affiliation. Nor do I howl.” 

He looked skeptical. You sir have angered this pooch enough. Now, your my next MEAL. 

Finally, jeez that day was boring. We voted someone out, and I got to survive. 

Well, here we go. Ah ah awooooo!!! Man that howl is always nice. 

Now that man is next. I started to walk near his room, and my mouth started to water. Man I’m hungry for flesh. 

Ah that’s better. I didn’t just kill him, I ATE him!! To fill my hunger. 

Sleepy time, what a night. 

Ah it’s daytime. There is so much blood in this house. Wait, what? This just got easier!! 

Sheep that looks so good 

So the man I killed, he was a “sheep.” Let me explain. 

In this game, there are two sheep. These players are very important. If I kill one though, then something great happens. 

I get to learn who the second sheep is. I then get to kill that player, and get to kill more person that night. If I don’t kill the sheep, then I will be voted out by them. 

So yeah, I eat a sheep last night. Yeah. Very tasty, my mouth is bloody. 

It’s time to vote, and this house is confused. They thought they knew the wolf, but are lost. 

Well, I’m gonna vote for that person. Hey, that person is gone. 

So when you get voted out, you then get shot by a silver bullet. Pretty wolf protective. 

Give me my money humans!! 

Yes it’s time. Oh I’m hungry right now. I feel like a pup again. 

I quickly made work of the sheep, and was able to kill the next person. 

So it’s me, and three others. Wait, the humans forfeited?!?? Ha ha ha!!! 

Ooh give me the dang money. Let’s go!! By suckers. This boat sucks. 

Uh, that took so long. That was good though. I got my hunger satisfied, and got money.

Hello teen, what are you doing today? Wait, why am I being put to sleep??

My final howl

Where am I? In a grave?? Why?!?!!?

I tried to push on the metal, but nothing happened. I then heard people talking.

One of them said”So yeah, he’s gonna become a great HOODIE. I get to kill him, then I will use his fur in a hoodie. His head will be my hood.”

What!! I’m gonna be a hoodie!! Oh jeez. Hopefully I can escape….

Where am I? Oh I hope that I’m alive. Well time to wake up.

It’s so hot in here. I’m burning in my hoodie. Wait, I’m in a prison cell!!

Wait a minute. I think I died and was sent to a molten afterlife. Uh at least I got my last breath in.

So now what am I gonna do? Holdup, is that Flow?

Yes in fact it is. And he’s a prison guard!!

Well readers, this is goodbye. Till next time, I’m out. Awoooooo!!

Continuation of Ch. 1 script for my comic

Heidi: “Ah, yes! You see, I’ve never really actually talked to another person before. Haha…”

They approach an old, decrepit barn in a clearing in the forest.

Alva: “Here.” She turns around to look at Heidi. “This is where you’ll be staying. No one ever comes out here, so you’ll be safe if you stay careful.”

Heidi: “Ah. I thought you were just going to lead me out of the town?”

Alva: “Of course not. I couldn’t just let you try to survive out there.” She walks on.

They enter the barn. Heidi sits down on a wooden bench built into the wall.

Alva: “Who are you?”

Heidi: “My name is Heidi…”

Alva: “Last name?”

Heidi: “Uh…I don’t have one.”

Alva: “...”

Alva: “I have to ask you, when did you become a werewolf?”

Heidi: “... It -- it’s been a few days. But the thing is, I… It didn’t bite me! It attacked my mother and --” She begins sobbing uncontrollably. Alva looks uncomfortable, but in a way like she understands Heidi’s grief and is empathetic, like she’s gone through it before. “It killed her! But it didn’t attack me! It just walked away… I know I wasn’t bitten…but I developed symptoms after that…”

Alva thoughtfully rubs her chin with her hand. “Mm.”

Alva: “Can you tell me why that may be? Was there anything that you think might have caused the werewolf to act that way? Or otherwise any important details you can think of?”

Heidi is still crying, wiping her left eye with her finger. “Ghk-huh… No? I don’t think so… The only thing, my mama had given me my medicine earlier that day. Come to think of it, I haven’t had it since then -- a few days…”

Alva looks interested.

Alva: “Medicine? Medicine for what?”

Heidi: “My illness. Had it since I can remember. Always have.”

Alva furrows her brows a bit. “What illness?” Heidi looks a bit surprised. Then confused. She looks to the side.

Heidi: “... I -- I don’t know… A disease. My mama knew the treatment.”

Alva furrows her brows more. “Mph.” She looks skeptical. Not necessarily at the truth of what Heidi is saying but more that it doesn't make sense.

Heidi notices and looks up with concern and desperation.

Heidi: “Ah! You believe me, right!? I swear it’s true!”

Alva takes her hand off of her chin and looks at Heidi. Firmly but reassuringly, like she’s made a decision.

Alva: “I believe you.”

Heidi looks surprised but relieved.

Heidi: “...I -- I came here to get cured. … You’re a witch, right?

Alva looks pained.

Alva: “There -- is no cure.”

Shock. Heidi looks down, tears streaming out of her eyes. “...You mean, I have to stay like this for the rest of my life?”

Alva: “...There’s nothing to cure it, but there is a potion that can lessen the effects and stop you from transforming, at the right dosages, and if you keep taking it for the rest of your life. The only thing…It’s extremely difficult to make. Usually only advanced potion witches can create it…”

Heidi sits in silence.

Alva looks into her bag and pulls out a small white handkerchief. “Here. You’ve been through a lot.” Heidi takes it gratefully and begins wiping her face.

Alva: “I have a couple of blankets in my bag. And a piece of bread. I can get you some new clothes, although I doubt mine would fit you. I can buy you some dresses tomorrow. As for bathing, I can figure something out for you. I’ll come back everyday to give you food, and whatever else you need. DON’T stray from the building; the villagers can’t see you.”

Heidi looks flabbergasted for a moment.

Heidi: “Do you -- do you promise to help me?”

Alva hesitates. She looks concerned and is thinking hard. “I can’t promise anything. But I will do my best to help you.”

She walks out of the barn.

——————

There is more to this chapter but it focuses on the witch character so it’s irrelevant for this subreddit. Will be a comic! Eventually…

I like it! Even if people think it’s cringe. I’m happy with how the character interactions turned out. It still reads weird cuz it’s just there to help me draw the comic.

🐺🌕 AROOOOOO!!!!

Looking for a title of a vook

Looking where to read online also..

Idk the name. The girl is named Ayla she was shunned because her wolf is smaller, the alpha was her mate and rejected her because he thinks she's weak. His chosen mate abuses her and the crown princes Beta, Dillon, stops the beating while delivering a invitation to the ball where the crown prince is looking for his mate (he lost his original mate as she died by the time he was born)
