Full summary: AU. Hope Estheim is the heir and prince of Palumpolum. But five months before his 18th birthday he gets placed under a spell - human by day, wolf by night and the only way to break the spell is to get a kiss from a woman, who will love Hope with all her heart. Being in danger at Palumpolum, he escapes with his best friend Noel Kreiss to New Bodhum, where he meets Lightning Farron. Could she be the one who help Hope break a spell?

"Isn't it a lovely day Your Highness?"

"You're right Caius it is."

The group of six people there was taking horse ride. Four of them are guards; another one is Caius the most trusted advisor of deceased king also regent of Palumpolum until prince's eghiteeth birthday which is five months away.

And last is the prince of Palumpolum himself Hope Estheim.

This morning Caius suggested take a walk to rest from castle noise and Hope agreed. His birthday is five months away and soon he will become King and because of it boy was studying harder than usual and that made him tired. Although he was surprised, when regent told him that his best friend - also bodyguard Noel Kreiss wasn't coming with them.

" He is busy," Man had said. " And four guards can protect you Your Highness so you have nothing to worry about."

And Hope believed him.

But little did he know what advisor had a plan in his mind so he can rule Palumpolum without prince getting in a way.

Later that afternoon, they taking a break and eating the lunch. Hope was sitting under a tree. Caius walked toward the prince holding a glass of water.

"Your Highness," Man called starling boy who was half-asleep, " It's hot and I think you're thirsty."

"Thank you." Hope took the glass and slowly drank it. At this advisor hid a smirk.

As soon water traveled down his throat, Hope felt hot and cold at the same time. Glass fell to the ground shattering in pieces. Suddenly prince couldn't breathe properly and pain added to mix of heat and cold.

Caius's face was the last thing that Hope saw before everything went black.

When boy finally awoke it was night and he was alone - regent and guards left even taking his horse with them. Why they didn't wait for him to wake up?

Hope tried to stand and succeed despite feeling dizzy. But something was wrong. He looked down expecting to see legs...

And almost fell in shock. Instead of his human legs he had wolf paws.

Panic began rising in him as he moved to pond that was here and looked at surface.

In his reflection he saw wolf staring back at him with panic in his eyes.

How did he become wolf in first place?!
