Annabelle looked at the band of musical robots, then focused on the leader. “You say you know a werewolf who could lead us too the girl. Where is this wolf?” “A place not suited for ladies, Miss,” his voice clunked out while he stood. A light in the vanity buzzed, and another band member in the back sat on a stool and plugged himself into the wall before laying back, still, as if sleeping. “Good thing I am no lady, then. Lead the way, sir!” Neither Annabelle or Warren had ever been to a dog fight. That included both the original sort - the kind with rabid mutts on chains, snarling and biting at each other while men swilled cheap alcohol and tossed money from hand to hand - and the new sort. The werewolf sort. Werewolf fighting was considered a slanderous sport. Most people thought it kin to slavery, long abolished in the good Empire, with a good deal werewolves forced to fight much like the average dog. Some did it willfully, knowing there was good money to be made pinning a fellow wolf to the ground or, in worst cases, killing them. Others were young or gullible wolves swept from the streets and shoved into the pit every day, corralled by silver bars and walls, then herded back with silver tipped sticks. …show more content…
Seats spanned downwards from where one entered about fifty feet, stopping at the silver railing that circled the pit. The pit itself was no shallow thing, Annabelle estimated about fifteen feet deep, and with a circumference somewhere in the

The idea behind The Wolves is a portrait of liberty, life, and the pursuit of happiness for nine girls who just want to play some soccer.

The scene that really shows this idea is
Metamorphoses of the Werewolf is a book that charts the evolution, growth and changes of werewolf stories “from Antiquity Throughout the Renaissance.” Each chapter focuses on a tale or set of myths in different time periods, and analyzes them, comparing and contrasting, as well as theorizing the meaning behind them based on textual evidence, mainly from church and court documents. Through this method, Ms. Sconduto points out direct correlations between werewolves and the belief systems of the churches in power.
"Yes, alpha, have a safe trip.” I hanged up the phone. After hearing about the girl, I was antsy throughout my whole meeting. My wolf wanted to go home right aways so as soon as the conference was done I made it back to my territory. When I reached the pack house everybody was outside having a cookout. The kids were playing while the grownups watched over them.
“My little Lamb, is this the music you spoke so warmly of?” Questioned the Wolf.
“I just don’t understand! I have been waiting my whole life in this-this stupid forest, hiding! I want to be where the humans are!” Maybella exclaims.
In history there are lots of ways a person could become a werewolf. The most common was a wolf strap, a gift from the devil. Whoever put on the strap would turn into a wolf, and could only change back to its human form if someone called out his name. But anyone who accepted the wolf strap made a pack with the devil and could not get rid of it. Other ways of becoming a werewolf were to rub magic salve on a person's body, to

The most likely scenario for wolves beginning to coexist with humans is that a human hunting party came across a very young wolf cub and decided to take it with them. The wolf cub would have been very puppy-like at an early age. The reason that humans would ever take a wolf cub is because the cub would be seen as a valuable resource to humans back then. The wolf cub would become a sort of tool for humans since it is a better tracker,
According to H.C. Adams, the wolf is the creature most prominent in the history of lycanthropy because it is the creature which causes the most general and fatal devastation. Up until the 1900s, in European countries herds of famished wolves infesting the roads and forests were responsible for a vast amount of loss of life and destruction of property during the winter. Back then, the fear of wolves morphed into a belief of werewolves. This is unsurprising because “there was little difference between the killings and activities of wolves and werewolves: both would hunt at night, attacking sheep or livestock, and sometimes humans.” With this logic, it’s safe to assume that other places also attributed lycanthropy to the animals most terrifying in the region. Adams states that in Denmark, Sweden, and Norway men turned into bears; in India and South America, the tiger or the jaguar; and in Central and Southern Africa, the lion and the hyena. During times when magic and witches was common, it was too easy for people to believe in bodily transformations into other
Caroline Stewart says in The Origin of the Werewolf Superstition, “Man was face to face with animal foes, and had to conquer them or be destroyed” (Stewart 7). Stewart further explains how Indo-European men would wear masks to disguise themselves from wolves because they were so afraid of them. Then they noticed that with the help of the masks that they were able to get closer to the wolves without being attacked. Therefore, they started using wolf skin and fur as robes and crawling around on their hands and feet to completely cover themselves in the image of the wolf. Humans would go through all of the trouble to disguise themselves as wolves because of how terrified they were by them. The main character in St. Lucy’s Home for Girls Raised by Wolves states towards the end just how far her werewolf parents lived when she said, “The woodsman had to accompany me; I couldn’t remember how to find my way back on my own […] The cave looked so much smaller than I remembered it” (Russell 251). Humans were so afraid of wolves in the past that staying away from one another had carried on throughout the years, which is why the girls werewolf family lives so deep in the woods all the way into a small cave. This portrays how humans and werewolves were foreign to each other because of the werewolves secretive and far away
