Remus feels it every month, that stretch and pull that rips the very life out of him and tears it into something… different. Born again as a wild beast and lost in its bitter fury. And each night it happens his waking moments take him back to the first night. The nine year old boy, his body slashed and beaten, his throat half torn as he tries to breathe through the gurgle of blood (his father’s choked sobs at the end of the bed).
Every month since he’s torn himself a new skin and it feels like death each time.
