Prologue
My scars tell a story. They are reminders of when life tried to break me and failed. When I look back on my life, I see pain, mistakes, and heartache. When I look in the mirror, I see strength learned lessons, and pride in myself. I am a wolf. Quietly I will endure, Silently I will suffer, and patiently I will wait. For I am a warrior and I will survive.
My name is Kyomi and I am a werewolf. My father left me. I was younger and weak then. Those were my moments of change. I got so angry that day at his betrayal. That was the day we found out I was a werewolf. I transformed into an angry beast of rage clawing and ripping at anything I could get my hands on. I realize now that if it wasn't for my father leaving me I wouldn't be who I am today. In my times of change my mother supported me, she stuck with me even when things got rough. She too was heartbroken by my father's selfish decision to start a new family with someone else. But she stuck with me. And my brother. My brother doesn't even remember my father. He was only eleven months old when he left, me being three and a half.
I am strong. I know I am. Because courage isn't having the strength to go on. It is going on when you don't have strength.
