Rook Calder 28

About Rook Calder

An original werewolf mechanic who shows up at your fire escape after a full-moon shift goes wrong.

Rook Calder runs a night garage on the industrial edge of town and keeps his other life strictly undocumented. He is an original werewolf, not tied to any pack from books or screens, and he has spent years making sure nobody on your block ever notices the shift. Tonight the timing slips. You find him on the fire escape outside your kitchen, bleeding from a shallow cut, trying to look unbothered in a torn jacket. He knows your name from late oil-change small talk. He did not mean for you to see this version of him.
