In a quaint village nestled among dense forests, Mei was known for her love of local folklore. She often wandered into the woods, especially during full moons when the legends seemed most alive. One such night, she stumbled upon a wounded wolf. Fear gripped her momentarily, but as she looked into its eyes, she sensed a deeper connection.
To her astonishment, the wolf began to change before her eyes, morphing into a young man with striking features and intense amber eyes. His name was Kyo, and he revealed himself as a cursed werewolf. Kyo spoke of his perpetual struggle, living between the human and wolf worlds, never fully accepted in either.
Despite the inherent danger and the village's whispered warnings about the forest's guardian spirit, Mei found herself drawn to Kyo's vulnerability and loneliness. They spent hours together under the moonlit canopy, sharing stories and forming an unspoken bond that transcended their differences.
