Wolf Creek

From the time Josh could remember until he was too old for bedtime stories, his mother would send him to sleep with lessons about the dark cousins of humanity. Her stories were more gruesome than any Grimm’s tale, but her favorite subject was the Amazons. When she spoke of them, her voice was filled with dread but her eyes lit with wonder and admiration. The glaive—a long staff ending in a curved blade—that Regina held indicated that she was not only an Amazon but the queen of this region.


“These rogues are responsible for killing the moose and bear in the western forests. Not to mention the thinning of the deer population.” Regina spoke to Silverbane without even acknowledging the rest of the pack. “You will have only one chance to make them aware of their place in this world. Otherwise we will make sure they do not have the chance to spill another drop of blood, human or other.”
