Telepathy
When Nat’s grandparents offer to buy him a dog, it isn’t really what he had in mind. Instead of a puppy, Woody is big, mangy and covered in dung. And there is something strange about him. Not only is the seller eager to be rid of the dog, but Nat is sure that Woody used mental telepathy to show Nat the terrible fate that awaited him if Nat didn’t take him home.
The Town Bully
It doesn’t take long for Nat and Woody to become best friends. Unfortunately, they become the prime targets of Teddy Davis, the town bully;. Being under Teddy’s watchful eye makes it hard for them to hide Woody’s true identity. You see, Woody isn’t a dog. He’s a wolven.
Reverse Werewolves
Wolven’s are similar to werewolves. But instead of transforming into a wolf during a full moon, Woody does the reverse. He is a wolf that transforms into a human.
Proteus Project
Unfortunately, Teddy Davis is the least of their problems. Members of a government project known as Proteus are after Woody. Originally the project was meant for studying shapeshifters. But an evil man named Dr. Gabriel Gruber has taken over. And his plans for the wolvens are anything but honorable.
