"A young wolf shifter pup appeared at my doorstep, barely five month old. She was obviously frightened and in search of comfort and safety. That pup was Noelle. As I reached out to pick her up, she darted away, still wary of people. I ended up chasing her through the woods, mind you, -

“That’s how I met my wife initially,” Jacob laughs. “I found her hanging from a ladder of a goblin airship. She was trying to save a baby from being eaten. Talk about bravery!”
