Background
‘The bright light dimmed, fading so that the forest began to fall silent once more. Hannah held the squirming infant in her arms as we stared into the forest where the pair of wolves had limped away together. I don’t think I took a breath for a full minute. I was afraid to. I was afraid to even blink. If I blinked I would wake up and it would have all been a dream.
“She looks so human, so normal, Jack,” Hannah said.
It was her words that pulled me out of it and I found myself looking down at the baby she held in her arms, the baby who only moments before had been a wolf cub. She wasn’t crying. Instead she smiled up at me, even as she was reaching for a curl of Hannah’s honey-colored hair. But she wasn’t normal.
No, this child was as far from normal as one could get. Wolves had brought her to our campsite. Wolves had spoken to us and told us to keep her safe until she came of age. They had told us to raise her as our own so she would respect our culture, so she would want to protect it, because the cold ones were coming back and we would need her.
Wolves. Cold ones. I wasn’t sure what they meant. I wasn’t entirely sure about my sanity. It was ridiculous. It was fantasy. But the child my wife held was very real. A flesh and blood being and the moment that her blue eyes met mine, I knew I would do just what the wolves had asked of me.’
That was the beginning of Kevin Peyton’s first best-seller. The Therian Promise was the beginning of a whole series of best-sellers that he had been hoping for. The New York Times called it, “A brilliant twist that combines werewolves with aliens. A must for any lover of science fiction and the supernatural.” Sixteen year old Andromeda ‘Andy’ Peyton calls it her unofficial biography.

Complications
- Of Two Worlds - Until more recently, Andromeda thought she was just another teenaged girl growing up in the good ol' USA. She has since learned that there is a lot more to her than meets the eye. She would love to say that she is simply a metahuman, like those other costumed superheroes that make the news, but the truth is that she's not even human. She's an alien that was raised by a human couple as their own. In case she were to meet any other aliens, they might expect her to know about their culture and that could cause problems.
- Secret ID - Naturally, with her father being popular a science fiction writer, she doesn't want her secret getting out. Particularly since his best selling book series is loosely based on her and what little he knows of the Therians, the shape-changing race that she was born from. She wants to keep what little bit of "normalcy" she has as a teenager, and so a secret identity had to be adopted.
- Mortal Enemies - The Th'uban. The cold-blooded lizard race that once ruled over the earth and were the eventual cause of the demise of the dinosaurs. (Read More Here) They are the mortal enemies of the Therians and see them as obsticles to go through to get what they want.
- Homework Sucks - Teenager in high school… what more can be said. Being that her identity is secret, her teachers don't care if she had to spend the night patrolling San Angeles. They're still going to spring tests, pop-quizzes, and the like on her. And heaven forbid something actually happen during school hours and she skips a class!
- Animal Instincts - Sometimes the instincts of the animals that Andy takes the shape of linger on even after she's changed back. She might have the urge to hiss at or run from a dog, get territorial, have a craving for sugar cubes, or any number of other annoying, embarassing (and potentially identity compromising) instincts pop up at the worst times.
