Hope gave a nervous laugh as she looked at Cyrus with a bemused expression. "You've seen them?"
"Yes, I've seen them. In the woods surrounding the city. I've seen wolves almost as big as horses."
"Well, maybe you're just seeing a new species of wolf. That doesn't mean they are werewolves."
"I've seen them transform from wolf to man and back again. They are werewolves and they are living in our city, even now."
"And you're not at all concerned about this?" Hope asked, her voice frantic as she looked around the room expecting a wolf to jump out at her and attack.
"No, not at all. They aren't vicious or violent, they're friendly. They help protect the city from the outside, you have nothing to fear here within the walls of the city, or within my home. There's nothing here to hurt you."
