By Hook or by Wolf

Being a thief is in my blood. It's not like I steal from people who don't deserve it, anyway. I take things from bad guys, from monsters. I thieve from people who don't lead the pristine lives they pretend to.

Everything is going fine until I'm hired to steal the Gem of Malice. 

I didn't realize it would be so hard to steal.

I didn't realize it would be guarded by three shapeshifting wolves.

I didn't realize they would want me as their own.

I didn't realize.
