Reading Notes: The Wolf-Aunt

I’ve noticed a lot of stories with were-wolf characters. I actually enjoy reading them. I think it would be interesting to change the character that comes in contact with the were-wolf in this story. Also, in the original story, it was a female were-wolf, but I would change it to a male. Instead of it being the father that meets the were-wolf, I could change it to where one of the daughters’ meets the were-wolf and falls for him. The were-wolf would then trick her to marry him and tell her that her family could move in with them and they would have to never work a day in their lives. Being from a poor family, the daughter quickly falls for him. I think it would be a nice change in the story. The whole family will fall for his trick. I usually like happy endings, but I still can’t decide if I want to change that with this story. I could add in the story that each of her family members starts to disappear but since she was blind-sided, she had no idea. The were-wolf would just tell her that they went missing. Does she finally realize that she married a were-wolf????
