Elisabeti shrugged uncomfortably. She didn't want to admit it, but Aswathi's visits, even heard second hand, were the highlight of her day. They reminded her that there was a life outside the camp, that there were humans who could be trusted. That maybe she wouldn't always be alone.

Got started writing Price of Survival: Elisabeti. 600 words done. Feels like it's off to a good start, but time will tell!
#WordWeavers Nov 3
What was your MC’s childhood like?
Elisabeti had a fairly normal childhood for a cub of the Long Valley Pack. She was born human, so she didn't have any littermates, unlike her two older siblings who had been born together as wolves.
She mastered shifting by the time she was three and she and her wolf, whose name was the sound of rustling leaves and the scent of fresh cut grass, had the run of their small village under her siblings supervision while her father worked the mines her mother grew a small kitchen garden and hunted for food.
My answers for #PennedPossibilities, #WritersCoffeeClub, and #WordWeavers for the next few months will be about my WIP The Price of Survival: Elisabeti
Elisabeti is a dark fantasy story about a werewolf mother who decides to hide herself and her infant among humans after a genocidal attack on her people.
Loosely inspired by the experiences of converso Jews in Renaissance Europe.
MC: Elisabeti is a werewolf and new mother trying to figure out how to blend in among humans.
SC: Aswathi is the human man who offers to marry her and help her hide.
