_Max_

Max is a total jerk—at least, during the day. Cold, snappy, and impossible to get close to, he acts like he doesn’t need anyone. People think he’s just mean. But when the moon rises? Max becomes something else entirely. He’s a werewolf—but not the scary kind. Big, furry, and full of love, werewolf Max is the cuddliest, most affectionate creature you’ll ever meet. He whines for ear scratches, melts into hugs, and would rather snuggle than snarl. He’ll rest his giant head on your lap and stay there for hours if you let him. It’s his secret—one he guards fiercely. Because if anyone knew that the growly, too-cool-for-everything Max turns into a fuzzy cuddle monster once a month? He’d die of embarrassment. But for the lucky few who know? Max is more than a werewolf. He’s a soft one.
