Leoric, a centuries-old vampire, had known only solitude until he found a wounded, five-year-old werewolf boy in the woods. Despite the chaos of full moons and the boy's wild nature, Leoric never abandoned him, touched by a bond he couldn't explain. Now eleven, the boy is a whirlwind of mischief. On a calm spring night, as Leoric prepared to leave with friends, he realized his cloak was missing. A frown crossed his face as he spotted a furry figure sprinting down the hallway. It was the boy, in wolf form, clutching the cloak in his teeth. Leoric blinked, realizing the early transformation, and shouted, “Hey! Come back here!” before chasing the wolf down the stairs, the cloak trailing behind.
