In my book Bound by Blood: The Awakening, at the beginning of each chapter is a short poem giving hint as to what is in the chapter itself. So thought I’d post some.
The Lycãons
I am he who roams the night.
Of fur and teeth, magic and might,
Against the moon I shift and change.
Part my soul remains untamed.
.
By two or four I move about.
Silent and deadly, smooth and stout.
My blood, it quickens and begins to change.
Since genesis it has been this way.
.
Remember this for when I stand,
I may be wolf, god, or man.

The Lycãons turned out to be one of my favorite breeds of Bound by Blood: The Awakening. They actually make up 6 clans of 13 ancient and powerful bloodlines. They are wolves that share soul or spirit with a male or female immortal. Unlike the other species in the book where their beasts remain hidden until time to shift, the wolf spirit in the Lycãons is dominate. They are much larger than nature’s wolves and of course, there are the eyes which seem electrical.
They like to move and travel around but to sections of realms which are marked their sacred domain. They spend the majority of their time as wolf but do shift into the male or female immortal aspect of themselves according to company.
I wanted a race of origin to trace Earth’s myths of Werewolf or Wolf to. How Werewolves came to be (not to be confused with the Lycãons) are also explained and will be even more so in future books.
