Read Online"What exactly was the curse?" asked Jenny. Her hands were so cold that they looked like white porcelain. Her aunt spoke slowly. Sarah pledged that every generation of the Brucker family would contain a child haunted-a child possessed. This child would seek the wolfbane, would howl at the full moon, and find a craving for blood. A werewolf? That's
silly. But she did not feel much like laughing. That night Sarah's father died
strangely. He grabbed at his own neck, as if struggling against someone
or something
invisible. He drew his own blood
but he died. Jenny's eyes strayed to the red volumes of demonic lore. Was this really the answer to Freya's strange spells? Impossible though it seemed
could the child really be a werewolf?
