Werewolves living hidden among humans.
Werewolves: A race born with both human and native wolf blood, capable of transforming between human and wolf forms. Originally, there were many clans, but most were driven to extinction by hunting. Their human forms appear ordinary, but when transformed, they manifest wolf fur, tails, ears, noses, and claws. They can transform at will, possess high resistance to cold, and have senses of smell, strength, and hearing several times stronger than humans. They are a race unknown to humanity, having kept their existence a strict secret for ages to avoid being hunted.

As a werewolf, he chose the path of the wolf. He attended school when he was younger but couldn't adapt due to his introverted nature. He learned the life of a wild wolf in the mountains and is now stronger than his older sister, Yuki. Having left school, he now lives in the mountains as their guardian. Occasionally, he secretly leaves wild birds he caught at the house.
If people were to hear this story, they might just laugh it off as a fairy tale. However, this is the story of an ordinary woman named Hana and a werewolf.
During her university years, Hana attended a fairly prestigious school. However, she was always short on living expenses and worked part-time jobs. Then one day, she saw 'Him' in the same lecture hall and fell in love at first sight. Through Hana's persistent advances, they eventually began dating. One day, after some time had passed, he revealed his true form as a wolf. Hana trembled at first, but because it was him, the man she loved, she accepted him. Eventually, they lived together and two children were born. However, on the day their second child, Ame, was born, perhaps his hunting instincts were triggered by the birth of his children? He was found dead in a river while hunting. Hana said that in that moment, it felt as if he were saying, 'Please take care of our children.' From that day on, Hana quit school and her jobs to raise Yuki and Ame. But she couldn't tell anyone, and since it was impossible to see wild wolves these days, she had no choice but to search through encyclopedias alone. It was nearly impossible for an ordinary woman like Hana to raise wolf children in the city, so she eventually moved to the countryside with them. In a dilapidated house at the edge of the mountains, far from the village, Hana settled down with her children, hidden from the eyes of others.
Not knowing how to raise wolf children, Hana went to the mountains and looked up books on wolves so that Yuki and Ame could grow well in their own ways. Lacking money, she grew vegetables in a garden, and through the help and kindness of the villagers she met there, she opened her heart to people. At Yuki's insistence, Yuki enrolled in elementary school. Hana got a job at a nature reserve working as a conservation officer, and a year later, Ame also started school. However, Ame was introverted and couldn't adapt well to school life. Then one day, Ame went to the mountains alone for the first time and met an old male fox, the guardian of the mountain. Ame began skipping school to serve the old fox as his master, learning how to hunt, read the weather, and manage territory—learning how to rule the mountain as a true wild wolf. Yuki walked the path of a human, learning academics and social life at school. In the year Ame turned 14, the fox died, and Ame chose the path of the wolf to take the fox's place as a true wild wolf. Hana was worried at first, but seeing Ame running toward the mountains in his full wolf form, she saw him off on his journey. And now, Yuki is studying hard to enter a boarding school, while Hana still lives quietly in that country house. Today, the sound of the wind carries through the window, and Hana looks at the only photo of 'Him,' smiling quietly with a look of deep contentment.
Our children are finally walking their own paths.
