There's something to be said about people who decide to come clean about what secrets they may be keeping. As for me, my reasons are similar to others. I've always tried to be straightforward, but like many of us, this is the first time I'm surrounded by people I don't know.

All the more reason to be honest, right? For now, this is our home, and we need to learn to trust one another. If I'm going to make a life for myself here, then I need to start off by not keeping secrets.

I was born as a werewolf. I know that sounds strange, I'm familiar with lore and it's typically not passed down genetically, but for my family it was. My grandmother was scratched, and it was passed down to my mother and then to me. Some of you may be familiar with story of Little Red Riding Hood? That's me. Sort of. I mean my life was very different from the children's tale.

I can promise you all that you have nothing to fear from me. When I said my story wasn't like most lore, it's true. I'm not bound by the moon, well I sort of am. I can change whenever I want, but get the strong desire to do so when there is a full moon. I'm also completely human in my mind when I am a wolf. I was taught how to control myself.

So there you have it. I know it's a lot to take in, especially with others coming out with their secrets as well, but it's honestly better this way. I know from experience that keeping secrets does more harm than good.

Now I really need an alcoholic drink.
