Luke

TSoNM 01/10 A new boy in the School of Necessary Magic, Luke could do no magic. He was a shifter (werewolf).

TSONM 03/9 In prior books, Luke played a smaller part, nothing too startinhg. As he did not do magic, he was looked down on by the "magic" group, although they did not understand the powers of the shifters. He needed to run with his pack, to be more physical than the others, and now, as he is getting older, he is becoming more and more powerful, starting to realize what person he is, and his strengths. They both laughed and looked down at their feet. Luke sighed and rubbed his hand through his hair.

“It’s weird. Like I’m this wolf, and I have learned how to control that most of the time. I mean, that’s the first thing they taught me. But I feel like I’m constantly learning new things about my power, like telepathy with other wolves, or super strength. Those things just keep like being sprung on me. I feel like I’m on the f—” The fringe?

The truth is, I slip out sometimes to run with a local pack that my family set me up with. We have to be really careful not to be seen by the local humans, and even the magical community around here doesn’t like it too much. They aren’t shifter people, I can tell, but then again, who is? Not to mention that the dark families are always looking for us. They are constantly trying to hurt us, or at least mess with us. In wolf form we can fight back pretty well, but if they catch a newbie or someone changing back… Well, we don’t have a chance against magic.” “Are there wolves out here? Like, not shifters, but wolves from the wild?” “No, not that I know of, which is why we have to make sure not to be seen by humans. That would create an entirely different set of problems, and it’s dangerous. Humans tend to pull out shotguns when wolves are around, and even as shifters we don’t fare well under fire.”
