This is a short short story about a disabled "defective" (were) Wolf shifter. Something that is practically unheard off in the shifter world. This author took on more than one Taboo paranormal topic in just a few pages. A Werewolf and Vampire sneaking & being together despite the forbidden nature of their relationship.
This was a new author for me. I enjoy reading new writers and learning how they handle topics I enjoy reading about. In this case a physically challenged (handicapped / disabled) main character. A main character that unusually is a paraplegic Wolf shifter. Now I've read many books about "defective" shifters that couldn't shift and this was considered a huge catastrophe in the shifter world, but being in a wheelchair was unheard of.
My only disappointment is that this story wasn't longer. There was so much emotion evoked by the main characters. The Shakespeare comparisons are certainly apropos. There is youthful recklessness, self imposed isolation, loneliness, foolishness, self pity, putting the pack first, suppression, an endless love, and an unconditional devotion. A crabby Wolf. A devoted creature of the night. A hope for more despite how bad things seem.
I hope the author continues to write in the same vein and definitely longer works. This story was very enjoyable. I expect I will be rereading it several times. Not only is it a quick read, but also poignant.
