In Viking Wolf, Thale is dealing with some post-traumatic stress symptoms following her attack, but she’s also going through some bizarre changes, including heightened senses and hallucinations.
After receiving confirmation that a killer wolf is on the loose, Liv puts together a hunting party to go and take care of the beast. The hunt starts going sideways when they come across the dismembered body of yet another victim claimed by the monster. Making matters worse, the werewolf makes an appearance and tears most of the hunters apart.
Liv herself only makes it out alive because she has the presence of mind to use the silver bullet Lars, the werewolf hunter, gifted her, thus slaying the creature. She then seeks out Lars, who gives her information on werewolves, including how a human can’t be saved once they’re infected (which complicates things for Liv as her daughter is changing).
Thale’s makeover
Since witnessing the attack on her classmate, Thale’s been getting close to her crush. Unfortunately, the relationship between her and Jonas ends minutes after they share a kiss.
As the two are enjoying a romantic night under the moonlight, our protagonist gets the inexplicable urge to tear him apart. Following the murder, the young woman notices her facial features turning animalistic, so she decides to skip town without saying goodbye to anyone. Seeing the full moon while on the bus triggers a full metamorphosis, and Thale fully transforms into a flesh-eating werewolf.
As a werewolf, Thale goes home but hesitates to attack her little sister, suggesting there’s still some humanity left in her. After the attack on her family fails, wolf-Thale heads downtown and tears apart her bully and some other poor passersby. Jenny tries catching up with her sister and signs some words of encouragement to her.
Does Liv kill Thale?
Meanwhile, Liv, now aware of her child’s extreme makeover, is hesitant to kill her, so she decides to use a tranquilizer instead. The tranquilizer doesn’t work, which forces Liv, Jenny, and the animal expert to seek cover.
For some unknown reason, Lars shows up in a truck and drives himself into the store where Liv and the rest were hiding, resulting in the old werewolf hunter getting injured and ultimately eaten alive by Thale. Eventually, Jenny uses another tranquilizer arrow on her wolf-sister, and this time the beast is knocked unconscious.
At the very end, we see Liv enter the room where wolf-Thale is still unconscious and tied to the table. She makes the difficult decision to put her own daughter down. The final scene has the now-bereft mother entering Thale’s room and placing the silver bullet used to kill her on the nightstand.
