I’m terrified of spiders, yet I drew a spider shifter, Corin. I was going to sell him—until I overheard Tessa’s thoughts: his golden silk is worth a fortune, and his human form is gorgeous. So I kept him. He was clingy and profitable. After I rescued a white wolf, Corin transformed for the first time—half man, half spider. Tessa tried to steal him with fake claims: old injuries and toxic silk. I exposed the dates and material test: she caused the wounds, the silk was clean. Corin rejected her: “I choose Nora.” Back home, he fully transformed—and forgot pants.
