Once he arrived, Victor is informed that all the victims looks like they were attacked by a wolf-like creature. When he ask for someone who can help him exploring the forest, where the bodies were found, the only volunteer is Adam, who lives in the woods with his adoptive grandfather. He also meet Reader, the daughter of the local innkeeper where Victor stays.

During the full moon Victor, while patrolling, is attacked by a big wolf, escaping the attack with only a wound to his right leg that forced him to a few days of bed rest under Reader's care. The two have the opportunity to get to know each other better and falling in love, but her father doesn't approved and sends Victor away with the excuse of rodent control due to some investigation documents that were found damaged. Adam welcomes Victor into his home and they continue the investigation, but at the next full moon the wolf shows up at the house, killing Adam's grandfather.

Another month passes and the population begins to lose faith in Victor's work, refusing to cooperate further. During the third full moon since Victor's arrival, a group of villagers track down and seriously injure the wolf, but before the fatal blow can be struck, one of the men is attacked by another wolf. Victor aims the rifle at the second wolf but miss the target when the creature looks at him with a seemingly wounded expression before running away, taking advantage of everyone's focus on the first creature that is transforming back.

It is revealed that the creature is Reader's father, who explains that he had killed some men that mistreated him, while Adam's grandfather was an accidental victim as the man was targeting Victor to distance him from Reader: she is the second wolf, responsible for the deaths of some customers who had harassed her. While the men takes away the innkeeper, Victor runs to find Reader, fearing she might be hunted, finding her in a clearing where they had met in secret earlier. Reader doesn't take his presence well, growling at him; Victor kneels before her and offers Reader the chance to kill him to atone for almost hitting her. Moved by his gesture, Reader approaches, resting her head against his neck, giving Victor the chance to hug her and declare his love, helping her become human again while the sun rise.
