Book excerpt: Marcellus was a wolf-like no other, born with a coat as white as snow and abilities that made even the strongest of werewolves envious. His power was unparalleled, and he commanded the respect of all who knew him. From a young age, he knew he was destined for greatness, and he eagerly embraced his unique talents. As Marcellus grew into a powerful leader, his pack looked to him for guidance and protection. He was their alpha, their protector, and their friend. His sharp senses and keen intellect allowed him to anticipate danger and react quickly, ensuring his pack was always one step ahead of their enemies.
