The Accidental Werewolf

Jack McCall was just a 27-year-old government worker living a quiet life in New York City—introverted, dog-loving, and happy with simple routines. But one evening, a wrong turn into a forest shortcut changed his fate forever. A wounded howl… torn human skin tangled with animal fur… and a bite from a creature no one has ever seen. Jack survives the attack—but wakes up with burning veins, heightened senses, and a silver coin in his pocket that reacts like it’s alive. Doctors call it an allergy. Police call it an animal incident. Jack knows it’s something else. Something inhuman. One week later, he meets Elara White, a strange, mesmerizing girl living in a gothic mansion the city has forgotten. Her eyes glow in the shadows. Her voice knows too much about him. And her family drinks something that’s definitely not juice. Elara tells him the truth— Jack is turning into a werewolf. But not the kind the legends warn about. He is a rare hybrid: a shapeshifter-werewolf, not bound to full moons, capable of transforming at will once his wolf awakens.
