Wolfsong. Green Creek. Book 1

Ox was twelve when his father taught him a very valuable lesson: he told him that Ox was worthless and that people would never understand him. Then he left. Ox was sixteen when he met a boy on the road who kept talking and talking and talking. Later, Ox learned that the boy had not spoken for almost two years before that day, and that he was from a family that had moved into the house at the end of the alley. Ox was seventeen when he learned the boy’s secret, and it colored the world around him red, orange, and purple—the colors of Alpha, Beta, and Omega. Ox was twenty-three when a murder occurred in the city, leaving a hole in his head and heart. Seeking revenge, the boy chased after a bloodshot-eyed monster, leaving Ox to pick up the pieces. Three years had passed since that fateful day, and the boy returned. Only now he has become a man, and Ox can no longer ignore the song that howls between them.
