The Heart of the Wolf

In the southwest, of what is now known as the United States, used to be home to the Cherokee Indians. The legend is that one of their Gods, Mother Wolf, cursed the tribe for disrespecting her children. The Indians had been killing the wolves for game and not honoring it like they should. So Mother Wolf afflicted the worst possible thing she could. She turned them into the very creatures they hunted for sport. Wolves. The tribe was in despair, many were killed by other animals. Mother Wolf took mercy, she allowed them to retain their former human appearances. The catch was that the people would still be forced to Transform into the creatures whenever the urge struck.
