One night after i returned home from training at 9:30 on Monday January 24 i saw my mom and dad staring at me with frowning faces,I had no idea of what hell fire was going to be brought up upon my head .At that moment,i kept thinking of anything that i could have done wrong in school,at home,with my friends but i couldn’t remember anything,then my dad said “Son me and your mom have something to tell you” i let go a big sigh of relief when i knew that i wasn’t in trouble, “ Go on what is it ?” I replied,my mom and dad looked at each other and they decided to tell me. “Since your getting older now it is time that you know about some changes that are going to happen to your body” my dad said, “what do you mean” i replied, “ your smell might start getting bad,you will start growing a lot of hair in some places in your body and your teeth will start to turn into fangs and they will be very sharp by every full moon”. “ This is starting to sound like I am going to turn into a werewolf," I said, “exactly," replied my mom. “haven't you ever wondered why our family name is howlers ?’’ asked my mom.I couldn't believe what my parents were trying to tell me, ''so you guys are expecting me to believe that i am a werewolf ?" i said, ''Well kinda but only on the nights of a full moon'' replied my mom ''because that's when we transform".''I don't know what you guys are on but it is sure has made an excellent effect on you'' i said,''if you don't believe us tomorrow is the 25th the night of A full moon ,all of us go outside'' she said,'' all of us ?'' i asked,''yes their are other families we are not the only family and also we hunt in packs''she replied,''so that means that we are not the only werewolves'' i asked,''yes''answered my dad.

The next night Tuesday 25th January (a few minutes before the full moon),"I don't believe it until i see it'' i said to my mom and dad, '' wait and you will see everything'' replied my dad.Then my mom looked out the window and saw that it was a full moon so she looked at my dad and said '' William it's time'', then we started hearing howls everywhere so my mom and dad opened the door and went outside and then the strong light of the bright moon shined on them, my mom started to scream in pain while hair growing everywhere in her body, her teeth got taller and were very sharp and then her leg turned into a wolf's leg then her other leg then both her arms into wolf hands and in a split second she transformed into a werewolf.I couldn't believe my eyes then my dad also transformed but he looked much bigger and stronger and he had red glowing eyes.I was really scared and i wanted to go with them so i took one step and then the other but nothing was happening until i showed my whole body to the moon then suddenly I started to feel my body burning and pain everywhere and hair was growing all over then my feet and hands turned into paws and my teeth into fangs and they were very sharp.From that moment i had fully transformed into a werewolf.

The next day i was sitting on the bed and i was to myself: It is fun being a werewolf but there were struggles that i was facing like: at school i would overthink about being a werewolf and i would lose alot of focus, i could smell blood from a distance and i would feel that i want to jump and decapitate someone and people would make fun of me due to my nasty strong smell.I had fully understood the werewolf part but what i didn't understand was that other family that mom was talking about, i was so curios to know so i waited for him to come back from work so that i could ask him.

6:30 Wednesday January 26

Keys jangled and the door opened and their was my dad,

"Hey dad dad" I rushed calling him ''Yes Zack?'' he replied

''Who are the other families that mom was talking about the other day'' i asked ''look son it is time you know, back in the day you had this cousin and his name was Jake and his family and our family were one pack and his grandfather and your grandfather were the rulers of our pack but one day they fought and promised to stay away from each other forever and to never enter each others territory and there was a truce between them that if anyone enters the others territory they shall be killed immediately'' he replied.

The next day , I thought why don't i go and see it for myself but i had to wait for the next full moon and i have to make a plan.The next full moon was on the 29th and my plan was to sneak away from my mom i dad while they are not looking. 2 days later on the 29th of January ''are you ready my son'' said my dad , ''yes'' i replied so we went out and we all had transformed then we went and met the rest of the pack. After we had all met each other we started our hunt, after minutes of running and hunting i had found myself the opportunity to sneak away because i was at the back and the rest was looking away so i slowly crept away into the woods and i was a unexperienced wolf roaming around in the dark non ending woods not knowing what to do, i started to search and search for a very long time between the tall trees for any sign of that other family but then something caught my eye in the heavy fog and i was 1000 percent sure it wasn't a small animal or a tree it was some sort of shadow or body shaped wolf with its ears standing up and it had four legs. I was so curios to know what it was so i moved towards it making sure that nobody was following me and that it doesn't see me, the more i was getting closer i would see it moving like a wolf.I started to wonder that it could might be a werewolf like me.

I had gotten very close and from that point i had knew that it was a werewolf because i kept seeing a wolf's paw prints everywhere pointing in the direction that the wolf was moving in.I wanted to know who this was so i started to move in circles in the bushes surrounding that wolf and i was making noise to alert him, he was so clueless not knowing what was in the bushes then suddenly i stopped and there was an awkward silence then suddenly i jumped out of the bushes on to him and i pinned him down we kept growling at each other but then i stopped when i had saw that he had the same paw mark embedded on his shoulder just like mine.I was so confused i let him go and took a few steps back.

From that point we both realised that we are cousins and that our family's separated a long time ago and that confirms the story that my dad told me about."Jake?",i said,"Zack?'' he replied,''what are you doing here?'' i asked,''I escaped from my pack to come and find out what is the reason behind the splitting of our family's pack'' he replied,''what a coincidence for that is the reason why i am here'' i said, Jake was really nice ,''well since we both have met let's think of a plan to reunite our family's together" I said, we both kept thinking hard very hard and then we combined both plans to make the most efficient plan.The plan is that we both return to our family's and then we bring them into my territory and that Jake would be ahead of his family to give me a sign that its time, we both knew that once our families would see each other my family would instantly attack so we both agreed that we both would try to calm our families and bring them to an agreement. So we both decided on this plan and then we both left and returned to our families.

The next night, the night of the quest we both were ready and i got my family into the open space of my territory and Jake convinced his family to follow him then all of a sudden while me and my family were standing i saw Jake and from that moment i knew it was time.A few seconds later Jake's family pulled up behind him and his dad saw us first so he started growling and then the rest of the pack started growling too. My family had noticed this so they started moving towards Jake's family while growling and with the help of the rest of our pack and Jake's family started to move towards my family and then once me and Jake thought that they have come to close me and Jake jumped in between and stopped them. My parents told me ''Zack what are you doing and who have you been with this whole time'' they said, ''Mum and dad this is Jake
