Name: Delilah McNamara
Gender: Female
Age: 24
Height: Human: 5'3"; Werewolf: 8'0"
Race: Human/Newly Formed Werewolf
Hair Color: Red (Human Form); Red Fur (Werewolf Form)
Eye Color: Light Blue (in both her human and wolf forms)

Dislikes: Slacking, trespassers, heights
Location: Tumric, Rockwell
---
Living on her family farm in the farming village of Tumric, in the country of Rockwell, Delilah McNamara lived a solitary life alone after the tragic loss of her family 5 years prior, especially her two brothers, who died in the border war in neighboring Fargus, and her parents followed soon after, believing they were still alive in Fargus. Through hard labor and resilience in her farm work, along with a few scuffles in the tavern at the town of Gramhurg, Delilah has a constellation of scars all over her body. Her only comfort in her loneliness is her beloved pet cat, Barron.
Life was perfectly normal for Delilah, until one night, she stumbled across a strange, furry werewolf in her bedroom. Despite her initial fears, Delilah nursed the werewolf back to health and gave him a place to stay. The werewolf, who she affectionately nicknamed "Pooch", ended up Delilah's trusty farm hand, which blossomed into a romance which transcends their respective species. From dealing with werewolf hunters that once kidnapped Delilah, to overcoming Pooch's insecurities in controlling his lycanthropy in public, they deal with all the struggles in and outside the farm, especially when her lover is a werewolf.
However, no struggle was more painful than the arrival of the mysterious Ezekiel Duke. Despite his initial etiquette and debonair towards her earlier in Gramhurg, Ezekiel revealed his true nature that night in the farm, revealing to be a werewolf and the Alpha of his pack. Ezekiel was seeking out his former Beta, Pooch for abandoning his pack because of his cruelty and mistreatment towards innocents, human and beast folk alike. To seek his revenge and punish Pooch emotionally, Ezekiel bit Delilah, cursing her with lycanthropy, tainting her otherwise kind and gentle demeanor with anger and feral-like instincts.
Despite her chance, her love towards Pooch remains, as she slowly learns to control her wolf form, trying to regain some semblance of normalcy without endangering her friends Hugo and Travis and not be ostracized by the whole village, who would see as nothing but a wild animal, while seeking retribution against the one who made her and Pooch suffer, Ezekiel Duke. But with that bite mark between her left shoulder and collarbone to go along with her other scars, the presence of Ezekiel will continue to haunt her, even in her nightmares. But as long she has Pooch on her side, if she can overcome her hardships after her family's passing, she can overcome her werewolf curse, as well, proving that, even with lycanthropy, Delilah will continue being resilient and kind, no matter what...

---
Not much about his origin, but his heart is as black as the fur in his wolf form. Ezekiel is the Alpha of his wolf pack within the woods, but dwelling in the shadows within all of Rockwell itself, hunting any prey he sees fit to satisfy his lust for power and control. When Pooch was in his pack, Ezekiel treated him (them) as his equal, from helping him (them) control his (their) wolf form to hunting together, especially hunting beast folk. But, when Pooch learned of Ezekiel's treachery of shipping away beast folk to the King of Rockwell in the capital of Montiqu and learned of his aggressive and cruel leadership, especially indiscriminately attacking humans and beast folk alike, he (they) decided to free the beast folk, which angered Ezekiel. Although an Alpha, Ezekiel has no respect for his pack (except for his loyal Omegas). He only cares for power and his loyalty towards the King of Rockwell. Despite holding his (their) own against him, Pooch was no match for Ezekiel, as the good-hearted werewolf fled from him and his pack.
A few months later, Ezekiel heads to Gramhurg, the busiest town in the village of Tumric, Rockwell, where he meets the lovely Southern Belle farmer, Delilah McNamara. At first, he was friendly and suave towards the Southern Belle, claiming he was just passing by. So friendly, she even invited him to visit her farm. However, by nightfall, at Delilah's farm, he has shown her not just his true form, but his true character's well. Learning firsthand his former Beta has been living with Delilah since escaping his pack, Ezekiel confronts Pooch, as he holds Delilah hostage. To inflict pain towards Pooch for leaving his pack and freeing the beast folk, Ezekiel bites Delilah, and being an Alpha, passes on his lycanthropy, turning the lovely, kind Southern Belle into a werewolf against her will. And unlike most werewolves, when he shifts back to his human form, his clothes magically form back with him, as if they were enchanted.
Although he has done his damage towards his former Beta, no telling what Ezekiel will do next to both Pooch and especially Delilah, who is now dealing with the curse he placed upon her, fearing rejection and being hunted by all of Tumric while Ezekiel gets away without any ramifications, continuing doing the king's dirty work with such feral aggression towards humans and beast folk alike. Delilah will see him everywhere...even in her nightmares...

Disclaimer: This next fanart is my visual representation of the listener character of this story. The audience can envision the listener character in any shape or form, no matter what gender or physical appearance. Here is my visual interpretation of the listener character, "Pooch".
 |
| Pooch: The Farmhand Werewolf! |
Name: Brantley Montgomery
Nickname: Pooch
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Race: Werewolf
Current Location: Delilah's farm in Tumric, Rockwell
Personally: Kind, gentle, brave, hardworking, struggling (especially with his lycanthropy), sometimes timid and nervous, protective, fearless
Likes: Hunting, fishing, farm work, memories of his sister Elowyn, loving Delilah
Dislikes: Loud noises, losing control of his lycanthropy in public, slavery (especially imprisoned beast folk), Ezekiel Duke
Love Language: Flirting, teasing (sometimes when half-shifted), kissing, physical touch, emotional support, howling (either half-shifted or in full wolf form)
Human Form: Brantley is around 6'0", with a slim, yet muscular physique with a fair complexion. His hair is brown, with a few dozen bangs in front of his brow and it's slightly long but tied in the back by a hair tie; his eyes are colored hazel with hints of amber. He has a bite mark, located on his between his right shoulder and right arm, while claw marks are located on his back. He normally wears a white tank top, a blue plaid shirt which is mostly unbuttoned and the sleeves rolled up, a pair of blue jeans, a belt and brown boots. But when he works at the farm, he is shirtless, but wears gray overalls and sometimes work gloves.
Werewolf Form: In his wolf form, he stands at 8'0", balancing both speed and power with his huge slightly, muscular build. His fur is silver gray all around, with his bite mark and claw marks remained but with a different shade of color as he shifts. He has a slightly large, bushy tail. His eyes become flashing amber. And just like all werewolves, his sharp teeth and claws enables him to hunt or protect himself or those he cares about.
---
Backstory:
Brantley has always been a survivor. His parents died when he was very young, leaving him to carry on the heavy chores and lots of care around Tumric, especially taking care of his younger sister, Elowyn, who was as beautiful as sunflowers, with her short chestnut hair and blue eyes that shine like a sunlit steam. Brantley and Elowyn were inseparable, their bond was a strong as any sibling relationship in history. They hunt together, they fish together, they play games together, always helping out one another, whether it was good or bad, their bond was unbreakable.
However, on one dark night, in the woods, as Brantley was hunting for some more food, he was attacked by a huge, black-furred werewolf. The creature was going for the neck, but Brantley held his ground, as he was trying his best to fend himself. And in the struggle, he got bit on his upper right arm and large scratches on his back. As the beast was continuing his rampage, Brantley, in an act of desperation, took out his knife and slashed the wolf on its chest. Afterwards, it ran off back into the woods, and Brantley returned home, mortally wounded as he collapses in front of his sister at his doorstep.
Not long after that, Elowyn nursed his big brother back to health.
To his sister's relief, he was going to pull through. However, unknown to Brantley, new instincts begin to manifest inside of him after the wolf attack. His overall strength and other senses were heightened and increased, making his chores and his hunting a little bit easy. Although it felt like everything was back to normal, for Brantley, for the lycanthropy not only increased his senses, but also inhibits bursts of rage and anger, almost in a feral kind of way. So much so, during one of those nights, he lashed out on Elowyn, wanting to be alone, which he later regret it, knowing that he couldn't control the inevitable fate that awaits him.
One, fateful night, the moment that feared him came to fruition. Brantley dropped down to his knees, whencing in pain, as his body was changing drastically, when his bones shifted and his muscles grow, causing his clothes to rip from the seams revealing the silver gray fur emerging from his flesh, his human features shifted into a large wolf snout and his wolf ears grew and his large tail emerges from his backside, his brown eyes start glowing with a ethereal glow of amber, and finally, his fangs and claws grew as sharp as knives. Brantley has become a werewolf. Void of human thought and emotions, and in a feral rage, he ravages his bedroom, shredding everything around him like they were paper, even shattering the mirror. Elowyn, hearing the commotion, headed to her brother's room, and to her horror, sees the werewolf instead of her big brother. Not knowing it was his sister, the feral Brantley chases after his sister all over the house, thrashing everything in his path, just to catch his wannabe prey. As as the wolf caught his prey, just as was going for the kill, as any wolf would do, he stops. By looking at his sister's face, the creature starts to remember his human memories, and he then quickly relents as he stares at his sister. The troubled Elowyn was virtually shaken at the werewolf's presence until she sees the large bite mark on his arm, realizing that this creature is her brother. Through her kindness, she calmed her feral brother down until he reverted back to his human form. Despite this ordeal, Brantley and Elowyn vow to keep his curse a secret, not wanting to cause fear and panic in all of Tumric. With this problem behind them, the siblings continued their lives as nothing happened. Things were slowly going back to normal...or so he thought.
As he returned from his hunt in the woods, his home was burned down. As he came closer, to his horror, Elowyn was killed while the house burned to the ground. As he looked around what happened, he discovered an arrow that was dropped. That's when he learned that it was caused by the werewolf hunters, who believed in the rumors about a werewolf roaming through the woods, and headed to the house, demanding Elowyn where was the werewolf was. Knowing that her brother was a werewolf, she told them that there is no werewolf here and demanded them to leave. The werewolf hunters, who are not exactly the friendly types, took no for an answer, and broke in the house. Willing to defend her brother, Elowyn stood her ground, and in the ensuing struggle, one of the hunters dropped the torch and started the fire that burned down the house, causing the hunters to run off, leaving Elowyn to die. Sensing that the hunters are not far away, judging from the scent from the arrow, Brantley, in a blind, feral rage, shifted to his wolf form, and pursued his sister's killers and killed them without mercy. Afterwards, feeling alone, in what's left of his home, still in his wolf form, he buried Elowyn's body into the ground and places a makeshift cross on her grave, as he howled in mourning for the only family he had left.
All alone, Brantley traveled into the woods, so he can hide from more werewolf hunters. Exhausted from the long travels, he collapsed to the ground. And that's where he meets Ezekiel Duke. Ezekiel, the Alpha of his wolf pack in all of Rockwell, offered Brantley to join his pack, start living with a new family, without fear from being hunted. With no other option, Brantley accepted Ezekiel's offer and joined his pack.
Under Ezekiel's guidance, Brantley manages to control his wolf form, along with the shifting, going from human to werewolf or half-shifted without the use of the full moon and maintain human sentience in his wolf form. Together, Ezekiel and Brantley begin to hunt like true werewolves, whether for food or hunting rogue creatures. Brantley became so well-versed in his wolf form, he quickly became Ezekiel's second-in-command, or his Beta. Brantley has gained respect to Ezekiel's pack. With his new acceptance of his wolf form, and being in a new family, he feels empty inside, knowing that he forever left his human past behind. All that changed when he meets a young, female werewolf in the pack, her name was Amaris, or Mari for short, as her packmates call her. As Amaris shifts to her human form, she has a striking resemblance to his sister, Elowyn, right down to her familiar chestnut colored hair and light blue eyes. As Ezekiel was tough on him. especially being the Beta to Ezekiel's Alpha, Amaris, despite her lycan nature, was kind and gentle, as she bonded with Brantley, and for the first time since becoming a werewolf, he found someone who was truly family. Although not by blood, Brantley found a new sister in Amaris, as their bond grew, just like he had when he was human and with Elowyn.
However, their happiness was short lived. One night, during her trek in the woods, Amaris discovered a long line of cages, holding beast folk, guarded by soldiers from Rockwell's capital, Montiqu, doing the bidding of the King of Rockwell. And to Amaris' shock, she discovered that one of those soldiers was her Alpha, Ezekiel, who was giving orders to the other soldiers. That's when she learned that Ezekiel wasn't so loyal to his own packmates, only to the King of Rockwell and his tyrannical rule to oppress everyone, human and beast folk alike.
Amaris explained this to Brantley about Ezekiel's treachery. He didn't believe her at first, thinking that she is speaking nonsense, as he continues being loyal to Ezekiel. To prove her story, Amaris took Brantley to the soldiers' camp and see for himself what she was talking about. That's when Brantley realized that these "rogue creatures" he and Ezekiel were hunting were beast folk, some of them being young and innocent, and knowing firsthand that Ezekiel is not as loyal and kind as he said he was.
With no hesitation, as the soldiers sleep, Brantley and Amaris freed the captured beast folk and helped them escaped. And just as they were going to head back to their domain, they were stopped by Ezekiel, who has saw everything from a distance. And this is where Ezekiel revealed his true motives to Brantley, for it he was the black-furred werewolf who cursed him while he attacked him long ago. Thinking that by biting him, Ezekiel would have another werewolf in his pack to do his bidding, but felt disappointed that Brantley's human soul, combined with Amaris' influence, is what prevented him from fully embracing his inner-wolf, wishing he would've died in the attack, just as he killed his previous Beta who defied him a long time ago. For Ezekiel, ruling his pack isn't about respect for his packmates, it was all about power, keeping everyone in the pack in line, and will kill off whoever defies him. This all culminated with both the Alpha and his soon to be former Beta fighting each other, as their wolf forms slashed and bite each other like true wild animals. Brantley held his own, but was no match for Ezekiel's whose werewolf form was powerful being the Alpha of the pack. Just as Ezekiel was about to kill him, Amaris stepped in and fought against her former Alpha, giving Brantley enough time to escape him and his pack. Brantley ran off into the deepest part of the woods, and didn't look back.
As he was running in the woods, running from Ezekiel, he was seen by a few hunters, who are hunting for any wild animal that sees fit, even werewolves. Without a train of thought, one of the hunters fired an arrow at the fleeing wolf and wounded him in the right arm. Despite being mortally wounded, Brantley kept on moving until he got out of the woods and discovered a farm in Tumric, which reminded him of his home before it was burned away. Not wanting to cause any noises, he quietly headed for the farm, and opened a nearby unlocked door, entered the house and collapsed inside the bedroom. And this is where he met Delilah McNamara, the owner of her family farm, who have nursed him back to health and became her farmhand, giving him the affectionate nickname, "Pooch", and the rest was history. Since then, Brantley, now going by Pooch, lived happily on Delilah's farm, helping out with the chores, running errands in Gramhurg, and spending much time together, as their relationship blossom into a romance that transcends their respective species. Despite his reprieve, in the back of his mind, in his heart, Ezekiel won't be far behind, knowing that his vengeance will be long and painful, as a sign of things to come. For now, as long as he with his Southern Belle mate, he is home...

Glad you enjoy my fanart for this wondrous and supernatural tale within the world of Sensory's Extended Universe of ASMR stories. Until next time, stay frosty! Happy Halloween....and Happy Thanksgiving, folks!

I like to take a moment to talk about YouTube.
Once upon a time, around 2005, YouTube use to be THE premier place to post our videos, whether through our camcorders or making videos through our movie making programs. No matter what videos we post, whether expressing our fandom towards video games, anime, classic cartoons or comics, or trying to speak your mind against all forms of oppression that would otherwise corrupt our way of life. Their slogan back then was "Broadcast Yourself", which means you can post whatever video we want, without any consequences.
Unfortunately, by 2011, everything changed, when they were sued by Viacom for alleged copyright infringement. Although YouTube won the case, the damage was done.
Whenever we try to post some videos, expressing our fandom on the mediums I have mentions, along with using music for that video, the videos get flagged for a copyright claim by the owners of their material. YouTube since then have be criticized for changing the format, making things hard for content creators to post their videos, such as Content ID, false copyright claims, blocking videos internationally and so forth. Even though the videos we made were under Fair Use, the corporations who own their material just don't care, thinking Fair Use is illegal. My YouTube channel use to have lots of videos. But because of what has happened, I have none, cause I removed them. I have since been saving videos from other content creators to watch.
And now, we face a new problem, as of right now, YouTube, particularly Google, wants to verify our age through IDs, credit cards and facial scans, just to prove that we are not minors. I am not a minor! I am 42 years old!
Because of these rules, along with AI dictating YouTube's algorithm, some of the content creators got their videos blocked, especially voice actress V-tuber, Trina Deuhart aka Admiral Trina. And they are pulling this stunt on her, imagine they are doing the same thing to other content creators, especially those in the world ASMR stories like Sensory VA Audios, which I have since grown accustomed to.
Bottom line, if Viacom didn't meddle in YouTube's affairs, I would still have all my videos posted on my channel. If I post a video on my channel again, it would be my last. Believe me, it happened before when I once had my first YouTube channel long ago.
I would rather watch an old episode of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe than give away my privacy to YouTube's AI system. But alas, we fight on...
If you want to fight this, go to the link below. It is time we take it to YouTube and their strict new policies. Until next time, resist modern attitudes and embrace nostalgia...and freedom of expression!
Saraba da! (Farewell)...now!

Today we say goodbye to a pioneer, an enigma among others. I am, of course, referring to the one of the most recognizable names in all of gaming, the one, the only, Tomonobu Itagaki.
Born on April 1st, 1967, Itagaki was destined for greatness, especially in the world of gaming. After graduating from Waseda University, he joined the famed video game company Tecmo in 1992 as a graphics designer for certain SNES/Super Famicom games, such as Captain Tsubasa 4 and Tecmo Super Bowl. His most well-known accomplishment was the creation of the very fighting game series that brought Tecmo out of its financial rot, Dead or Alive, starting with its first game in 1996, and the rest was history, when he founded Tecmo's gaming division, Tecmo Creative #3, better known by its well-known name, Team Ninja.
Dead or Alive became one of the most gaming franchises of all time under Itagaki's leadership, focus solely on its female cast, especially Itagaki's most favorite character, the runaway shinobi of the Mugen Tenshin clan, Kasumi. Not only with the main gaming series, but also its spin-off, Dead or Alive Xtreme, which focuses on the girls spending 2 weeks on Zack Island for a vacation, in their exotic swimsuits. Itagaki not only created DOA, but he also revived the legendary classic gaming series, Ninja Gaiden, for a new generation, bringing the adventures of the Dragon Ninja, Ryu Hayabusa, to a whole new light.
Although highly successful, but like the old saying goes, "Success can really go to your head". Itagaki, known for having long hair and wearing sunglasses in public, is often known for being a bit outspoken and having somewhat of an ego, especially when it comes to games like Dead or Alive. Let's just say, Itagaki wasn't the only one with such bravado. That's what some people say about Koji Igarashi or IGA for short, when he was in charge of making some Castlevania games like Lament of Innocence or Aria of Sorrow, but that's just me. And because that, along with multiple lawsuits among other things, he left Tecmo on June 2, 2008, and formed his own gaming company, Valhalla Games Studios in 2010, creating the action-adventure game, Devil's Third, and then later in January 2021, he created his namesake studio, Itagaki Games.
Unfortunately, even after wanted to create more games, physically and emotionally, Itagaki couldn't commit to what he wanted to do. And on October of 2025, at the age of 58, Tomonobu Itagaki passed away. At first, I thought his death was a rumor, thinking he lost his drive to create more games. But, his death was confirmed by his family on his Facebook page, along with a farewell message thanking the fans for his journey and his apologies for not making a new game. His death was a huge shock to the gaming community, especially those who are fans of both Dead or Alive and Ninja Gaiden, me included. So, in closing I will say this:
Tomonobu-san, thank you for all the memories, especially with Dead or Alive. Through Kasumi, our favorite character, I am forever linked to you. And if I ever do a DOA game, especially your cancelled project, Code Chronos, I will do it in memory of you. Wherever you are now, you are no longer suffering. Godspeed, good sir. Be at peace, father of Kasumi.
 |
| "I'm sorry, Kasumi", as Ryo Sanada consoles the runaway shinobi, as she sobs for the very man who brought her to life, with cherry blossoms flowing around them, thinking about the legacy Tomonobu Itagaki has left behind. Godspeed, Tomonobu-san. |
So it goes. - そういうものだ。

| Behold! The Mega SD cart, in all of its nostalgic gaming glory! |
For so long, gaming, just like anime, has been in my blood. And the games from the Sega consoles were no different, especially systems like the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive. Aside from the Genesis, the one other console I like to play the most was its add-on, the Sega CD. Although my time playing that console was short, I had a big time blast, even with some of the games I got. Unfortunately, because of my inexperience with CD based games at the time, plus the software within the Sega CD was wearing thin, resulting in system breakdowns, I was without the Sega CD, preventing me from getting more games I like to play. And for years, even with the other CD/DVD/Blu-Ray based gaming consoles, and learning to take better care with the games and the systems, I long for the day I want to own a Sega CD and play its games once more. However, the Sega CD add-ons, in all forms, especially the Sega CDX, were so used, that is virtually impossible to get it on online stores, not even Amazon and Ebay. And I thought I would continue down this road forever. All that changed around 2019, when a Spanish engineering company known as TerraOnion, known for creating optical disc emulators (ODEs) that allow users to play games from storage devices like SD cards or USB drives on original hardware, such as the Sega Saturn and Dreamcast, created the very flash cart that changed the face of retro gaming forever, the Mega SD.
Released around 2019, The MegaSD cart was another line of flash cart emulators created by TerraOnion. Compared to the Mega Everdrive Pro, this cart is a retro gamer's dream come true, especially when it comes to playing your favorite Sega games on your console, whether being the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive in their three versions or newer retro gaming systems compatible to the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive itself. This drive requires a MicroSD card up to 400GB, formatted with FAT32 or ExFAT, to save your games. While it can play Sega Master System and Sega Genesis/Mega Drive games, but real story of this cart is its driving force to own this cart, playing games from your Sega CD/Mega CD. The Mega SD cart contains the very same FPGA hardware that powers the Sega CD console itself, that enables you to play the Sega CD games, without the use of the console itself. Loading times, though shortened, are the thing of the past. That, and not worrying about scratched discs that can prevent the game from working.
Another feature in this cart, is you can also played modded and hacked games, especially some Genesis/Mega Drive games with CD based music, fixed gameplay and balanced difficulties, and/or playing patched versions of imported games with English translations like Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon, for instance.
However, with all its positives, there are some drawbacks, but most of them are minor. When you play your Sega Master System games, you can't pause them with a regular controller. Just like with the Master System itself and with the Sega Genesis Power Base Converter, you have to pause the game by pushing a button on your console, and the Mega SD cart has a button to pause the Master System games. And it doesn't stop with this, the Mega SD cart can also play Sega 32X games, as well, but it will only work if you have a 32X plug-in attached to your Genesis/Mega Drive. As for playing them on the Genesis handheld, the Nomad, you can play it, but you got to mod your Nomad to play it. Good luck with that.
In short, I will leave you with the pros and cons of this wondrous flash cart, along with its final grade:
Pros
- Plays Sega Master System, Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, Sega 32X and most importantly, Sega CD/Mega CD games.
- Unlimited Battery Backup for your Sega CD games (as long as you have a MicroSD card)
- Plays Modded, Translated or Hacked roms (provided you use programs to change a copy of the rom into the patched version of it)
- Plays Sega Genesis/Mega Drive games with CD based Audio
- Saved States
Cons
- Playing 32X games on the cart requires the 32X plugin itself
- The cart won't play Sega CD games if your Genesis console is hooked up to a Sega CD add-on (You must unhook the add-on for the cart to work properly).
- Not able to pause your Master System games on your controller (only the button on the cart can pause them)
- Playing the cart on a modded Sega Nomad handheld, especially with the Sega CD games
Final Score: 8 out of 10 (Despite a few hiccups, the Mega SD cart is a must have for retro gamers, especially die-hard fans of the Sega CD itself)
If you haven't got the cart, it is not too late to buy one at online stores like Stone Age Gamer. I know you will not regret it. Until next time, resist modern attitudes, embrace the past, create a better future and stay frosty, my friends.

Here is another fanart featuring characters from the "Delilah and Pooch" ASMR series by Sensory VA Audios. Compared to the last one, this one is a bit darker, since it takes place after Delilah's life changing experience, being turned into a unwilling werewolf, by an Alpha with a vendetta against her lover, who is revealed to be this Alpha's former Beta, who left the pack, and with very good reasons.
 |
| All alone in a dark, full moon night, Delilah McNamara contemplates on her current dilemma, living the rest of her days as a werewolf, a curse placed upon her by Ezekiel Duke, a ruthless Alpha from his wolf pack, who bit Delilah, as an act of revenge against her lover, Pooch, a Beta who rebelled against him for his ruthless leader and his cruelty towards humans and beast folk alike, leaving the pack in the process along with his fellow pack mates. His attack on Delilah is his way of striking Pooch, right through the heart, by hurting the people he cares about. As Delilah gazes on the large bite mark Ezekiel has given her, she thinks about her future, and the consequences of being a werewolf in an otherwise peaceful village like Tumric, as she confides in Pooch for some comfort. |
Delilah: "I'm scared, Pooch. I don't know what to do. Ever since Ezekiel passed this curse on me, I have spent some sleepless nights, thinking about the consequences of being a werewolf. I'm afraid that Travis and Hugo would disown me, see me as a monster, and all of Tumric would hunt me down like a wild animal, either kill me or serve me as an attraction for the King of Rockwell's amusement, locked in cages with the other beast folk, and possibly your fellow wolves who rebelled against Ezekiel, following your lead. I don't want to be viewed as...(sighs) as a monster. I will lose everything if Ezekiel has his way with me and the townsfolk. I will lose my farm, my friends, my family's memories, everything. As he gets way scot-free, I would be labeled a freakshow, a sideshow attraction, a wild animal, locked away for a long time. I wish Ezekiel never came to my life. It's my fault I let him into our lives, just to get back at you, through me. I am so sorry, Pooch. Please, forgive me."
To my friend and fellow storyteller, Sensory VA Audios
