want you to know I have never told anyone ever before. It is not at all that it’s just something I’ve hidden from both of you. No one at all knows about me. No one,” he repeated.
    “Apart, perhaps, from your parents, siblings, cousins, grandparents, childhood next-door neighbors, first-grade teacher—” began Cameron in his lawyer voice.
    “No. None of the above. I was the classic case of the baby left on the church doorstep. When the elderly priest opened the door and found me there, he was completely convinced it was some children playing a joke on their baby brother. When several hours passed and no irate mother came to collect me, he phoned the local hospital, which sent a nurse around immediately. Only then did the priest find out I was less than a day old, not weeks or even months as he’d assumed.”
    “Surely there was a huge media outcry and search for your mother, though,” said Gaynor.
    “Yes, but no one came forward. Of course, when I first shifted into my wolf I realized one, or even both of my parents hadn’t wanted a half-wolf child and that’s why I’d been left at the church.”
    “So you’re only a half wolf. How do you know? I mean, what are the traits?” asked Cameron.
    “You need to understand that all my knowledge of myself comes from personal experience and the Internet. I’ve never once approached a pack of shape-shifters to get confirmation of my guesswork. But the biggest reason I believe I’m only half-wolf is that I never have involuntary urges to shift. No matter how angry or upset I become, I remain completely human. I only shift by a completely rational decision.”
    “Perhaps it would be easier if you gave us the brief version of your life, just hitting the main points on the way through. And add in why you never told us this before. I had the clear idea you lived with a family, your family, even though you almost never speak of your childhood,” suggested Gaynor.
    “Okay.” Tor stopped to think. “I was left in the hospital for almost three months, but when no one claimed me I was placed with a foster family who cared for me. To them it was a paid job, but they treated me well, not exactly loving me but always being considerate and helpful. From reading other foster kids’ stories I’ve realized how incredibly lucky I was to be placed with them. Whenever I’ve needed to speak of my childhood I always call them Mother and Father, instead of going into lengthy explanations which are no one’s business except mine. And now yours.”
    “Who named you? How did you get your name?” asked Gaynor.
    “After a week or two, when no one claimed me, the old priest, Father Brian, went to the hospital and asked to baptize me. The nurses let him name me as well, since I needed a name to be baptized. He gave me his grandfather’s name. Of course, the Child Protection people told my foster family they could change my name if they wanted to, but they decided to keep it, to retain my link to the man who’d found me. Father Brian left me two thousand dollars when he died, with instructions to do something with it that would create a wonderful memory. I used part of the money to travel to the Grand Canyon, which I’d always wanted to see. The rest I saved,” added Tor.
    “I’ve always wanted to white-water raft through the Grand Canyon,” said Gaynor.
    “I did a two-week hike, and it was truly a memory to cherish. But I’d be more than happy to go back there with you both,” said Tor.
    “Getting back to the main point here, how long did you live with the foster family for?” asked Cameron.
    Tor pulled his mind away from the priest and his vacation at the Grand Canyon and answered Cameron’s question. “Until I finished high school. That’s as far as the government funding goes. After that you’re supposed to get a job. Which I did. I started working in a hospital as a nursing aide. Part of the reason was because I didn’t really have a sense of vocation, but part
