It sounds like a hard world to grow up in. Really hard. My world went through some of the same struggles, but we didn't have to worry about getting eaten. I'm starting to think that all worlds have their problems, from the people I've met and spoken to here. People (and I use the word specifically to include all sentient beings) can be both cruel and incredibly awesome, but working out which is which is hard work.
A hybrid is a good word for it, I think. I was bitten and became what I am now a few years ago. It's good to meet another wolf. I'm Scott, by the way.
It sounds like you and I both wanted pretty much the same thing. I hated that being what I am brought danger to my friends' door, though they can fight back. Maybe here we'll get a chance for a different way of life? So far it's been a lot more peaceful than at home, though there are weird events from time to time.
