#EroticMusings 36 — Do any of your characters, like the waxing and waning moon, show different aspects of self that they cycle / transition between? Natural cycles like menstruation, or more fantastical?

This is a paranormal romance, so we have the mortals: humans, and the immortals: vampires, and werewolves, and other creatures. This is fantasy. Ironically, vampires and werewolves have their own cycles of being, but they're connected to the phases of the moon. It affects their moods, how they behave, etc. So, yes, they *do* have their own aspects of self that they will cycle or transition between. They change throughout the month. But like I said, it's directly affected by the phases of the moon. For instance, a wolf might be more apt to mate with their significant other prior to the full moon. They're more feral, more bestial, more of the creature they become on a full moon, even if they can also shift at will throughout the month. During a full moon, they become the wolf, no matter how hard they try to fight it. There's no stopping it, and they can sometimes become murderous creatures—that is, unless they've learned how to control the beast inside of them.
