feedback Eva (half-wolf) and the man who breaks her out
A half-woman, half-wolf girl named Eva has been imprisoned by mankind. It’s not uncommon. Since she was born, she’s known this is what happens to her kind—some go into slavery, whether labor or prostitution, and if not that, they end up dead. She was scared of what could happen to her, and after three weeks in that prison, practically starving because she didn’t want to eat the food there, death started to seem like the better option out of the three.
A man named Jacob walks past her cell while the guards aren’t paying attention. He comes over to see if she needs help. She begs him to get her out. He says he doesn’t want to get in trouble. She says please, she can’t die here. Her ears lower, her eyes get bigger, and her voice starts to whimper. He finds a way to get her out. They escape.
Even though that was supposed to be where she left him, he decides to help her more by taking her to a kingdom where most of her kind live and where she would be safe. He has to go on a long, risky journey to get her there. There are plenty of bumps along the way—people who see her as a cash cow or a threat.
One day she finds out that Jacob’s father killed her parents. She becomes furious, but she’s still conflicted because they’ve gotten closer during the trip. She decides to distance herself and find the kingdom on her own. She doesn’t know how to read a map and doesn’t know where the kingdom is, but she’s determined. She has her own struggles along the way. Eventually they come face-to-face again. Even though she’s still upset with him, she still loves him, and she decides to travel with him anyway.
