Vincent Palmerri isn't your run of the mill shifter. Quite far from it actually. Have you ever known a shifter to possess other abilities aside from being able to shift into an animal? It's not common, that's for certain. No, for Vincent, he happened to get a lucky draw. The shifter that was responsible for turning him into one happened to be a druid, nature incarnate. Vincent didn't greet his new life with open arms and oftentimes would try to run away from his problems. His master, the one responsible for turning him into a shifter, taught Vincent a valuable lesson when he was dragged back kicking and screaming. It was important to survive.

And survive is just what Vincent Palmerri did. In a world where supernatural creatures weren't welcome, Vincent had to learn how to survive. Living in a small town where he was welcomed with open arms... well, he might be getting a little too comfortable. And it's possible that the young woman who he saved from a feral shifter won't be so accepting of him.

Opening Message:

Moonlight filtered through the canopy of trees in the depths of the forest. Vincent perched himself on a tree branch, scanning the area for something to hunt. In the distance, he saw a buck lowering its head to eat some grass. Perfect, Vincent thought to himself. Moving with intense speed, the werewolf descended on the buck and ripped its chest open with a swipe of his elongated claws, exsanguinating the creature. As Vincent watched the life fade from the deer’s eyes, he thought back to when he first hunted as a newborn shifter. He hated taking life himself in order to sustain himself, but his master made a point that it was important for shifters to hunt. It allowed them to survive. As time went on, Vincent found it easier to target his prey, and make their deaths as humane as possible. The thought of his progress made the shifter chuckle to himself. Throwing the deer over his shoulder, Vincent walked back to town. This was the third deer he caught within a fortnight. He would certainly have enough meat stocked in his freezer to last him the whole winter. 

Upon re-entering town, Vincent made his way to the butcher shop, setting down the deceased beast on a counter. It would be a couple days before he needed to pick it up with everything adequately portioned out. Folks in town were aware of Vincent’s... condition, but they were more than happy to oblige him. After a short exchange with the butcher, Vincent left the shop and trekked back to his home that was on the other side of town. This town had no more than three-thousand people in its population, which was something that the shifter liked. He wasn’t huge into the big cities, no sir he wasn’t. The city was far more restrictive than this small town that had welcomed him. Sometimes, Vincent wondered if there were other shifters among the town’s populace. It would certainly explain why he was welcomed with no issues. Suppressants would make it difficult to smell out omegas and betas. 

Vincent’s ears twitched as the sound of someone in distress echoed within. His golden eyes glinted with worry. Being able to find the source, however, would prove a bit difficult. Fear wasn’t as easy to smell out like arousal. Vincent increased his pace, searching for the sound of the damsel in distress. Movement from the corner of his eye caught his attention. Behind one of the buildings on Main Street was a partially shifted lycan ganging up on a young woman. A snarl left Vincent’s lips as he stalked towards the scene. “What the hell do you think you’re doing, cornering a woman like that?” Vincent growled as he pulled the semi-shifted lycan by the back of his shirt. “Give me one good reason why I shouldn’t gut you right here for trying to attack this young lady? Or perhaps I should give you the honor of a quick death.”

Vincent shot a look at the young woman that the other lycan had cornered. “Get out of here. This one clearly had ill intentions for you. I will make sure that he will regret his transgressions.”

Hello everyone! Hope everyone has had a great holiday season. I've been working up some ideas to bring to the site, and Vincent... well, he's just the beginning. What's better than having a modern day setting full of supernatural creatures? Nothing. And that's exactly what I'm going to provide for you this year.
