This shows a lot of promise. The chapters are terribly short, but with some tweaks to the formatting it would look longer. You also might work on sentence structure; when many events are crammed into one single paragraph, it makes it difficult (and annoying) to read.

But the overall content is great -- It's exciting and mysterious. I love the plot.

I'm eager to read more. This is on my Favorite Stories list, but let me know when you update! (I never check my Alerts...)

Besides the formatting that makes it hard to read (which I'm sure someone has already mentioned), I really like this. The way the story is told makes you feel as if you're right there, right in the middle of it with her.

You don't mention her name, though. Creighton calls her Baby once, but not her name, so it's difficult to really "bond" with the main character.

A couple minor spelling mistakes, but I'm not a grammar Nazi and they're easily overlooked.

Onto Chapter 2!

This seems like a good story but it is awfully hard to read like this. Formatting seems to be the problem; without knowing which program you're using, it would be hard to say how to fix it.
Also, I'd like to know more of the back story to these characters and your world. Everyone has their own take on werewolves - in my Night Terrors, it's a genteic thing passed from one generation to the next and considered a gift. In other stories, it's a curse that is passed through families or the bite of a werewolf. Starting with the action scene is a good way to grab a readers attention but don't forget to let us know what's going on.
Like I said, good story.

Interesting idea - I've got a thing for werewolves anyway, but this isn't sounding like regular, run-of-the-mill stuff. Ashe seems to be a mixture of canine anthro and harried mother in a bad relationship.

I am curious. I'd like to know what Will was doing in the first chapter that made Ashe first hide and then run, what secret Ashe is keeping about her daughter, and obviously, where the story is going to go from here.

I think, for my suggestion in this review, I'd pick on your formatting. :) Not a big deal, and you can ignore me, but it's a little hard to read the way it is. I don't know what program or format you're using to upload your story, but - If it's a Word document or the equivalent, always indent your paragraphs. If it's a text file or the equivalent, put a hard return (an extra space) between paragraphs. Browse through other stories here on FicPress and you'll see what I mean.

And that's about all I have to say about that! Once again, I find this interesting, and I'm definitely curious. Keep at it!

Offering some reciprical R&R.

You've really got to parse this into paragraphs. Reading it like this is very tough.

I'm perfectly cool with werewolves but I would have liked more exposition on the first chapter. You're starting this story w/ an action sequence, which is fine. But since this is an intro, some basic descriptions of the protagonists would help (what they look like, how they became werewolves). Also, there are many interpretations of the werewolf myth, so while not necessary in an intro, it's important to establish the "rules" of the world (ie, is it a curse, how is it spread, etc).

It's a bit late for this but I wanna thank you for reviewing my story 'The Other'. So here I am returning the favor.

I have to tell you the truth, I tried reading your story but...the fact is, I gave up about halfway through. That's because it's due to the formatting.

You should paragraph your words and not just write in chunks. That, in my opinion, would be much better.

Btw, about my story 'The Other'. You asked why he was so bloody? Seems like you never read the first piece lol. I did say that that was the companion piece to the first one which is 'Shattering'. Myabe you could get a clearer picture.

Anyways, there's always room for improvement so work hard! ^_^
