Past and Childhood
Lue  lived in her parents' home never seeing anything farther than her own house. Her parents were always over protective of Lue ever since her sister, Trista, was kidnapped and never seen again. (Later on we find out it was Travis who murdered Trista.) Her parents always knew about Lue's curse but never inform her about it. They tell her lies about the outside world and about her own life. Travis, Trista's boyfriend at the time, visited Lue when she was just a toddler. He often cared for her but it was her soul that he was after. Lue has a hard time remembering her childhood. She forgets Travis and Trista as if neither had existed. Lue's uncle, from her father's side,  is also a werewolf and the second in the family. The gene skips a generation and is random on who wields the virus next. A person who is born a werewolf is the most powerful out of the four different types of werewolves. They are able to control their change whenever they like. They are also to control themselves when in wolfe state. Lue was the third werewolf in the Peterson's genes. A third werewolf in the family blood line is usually the cursed one. The third werewolf is not only a werewolf but is given a curse. It is a Shadow Beast. She must drink the blood of a human to maintain the curse or it will get out of hand and consume every human attribute about her. She is chosen to be Amy's succesor but is not in the end.
