There are at minimum 3 different types of werewolves, Shifters, Lycanthropes, and Wolfmen.
Shifters are humans who can, at will, turn into a wolf. The wolf might be bigger than a normal wolf but it's still just a wolf. They also (mostly?) retain their human mind while in wolf form and their temperament, not becoming any more or less violent or bloodthirsty. There is a shifter variant where they are humans who can at will turn into Wolfmen. The important thing about shifter werewolves is the "at will" part. Werewolfism in these kinds of stories is less of a curse and more of a superpower, and more often than not born into being a werewolf through a genetic line rather than being bitten and turned.
Wolfmen are creatures that take on the characteristics of both humans and wolves at the same time. Anthro wolves and anime girls with ears and a tail both fit into this category. The important distinction in this category is that these werewolves look like this 24/7 and unless they are the shifter variant mentioned above they have no human form at all. Wolfmen are similar to shifters, more often than not born into this form and lifestyle rather than being cursed with it through bites.
Lycanthropes are horror movie werewolves, these werewolves need to be bitten, cursed, or otherwise inflicted with lycanthropy. These are the werewolves that have painful, bone-breaking transformations under the light of the full moon and turn from a human into a monster. The form they take, whether it be closer to a wolf-human hybrid or a big wolf, isn't as important to the typing as the fact that the transformation is uncontrollable and that the Lycanthrope loses almost all of their human qualities becoming a wild animal. Lycanthropes also often don't remember what they did as a wolf in their time shifted.
I will hear arguments for how these categories could be expanded on and refined as well as other types of werewolves. please someone just talk to me about werewolves. Also, these categories are all equally hot and fuckable thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

[Chapter 5] --- [Chapter 7]
Summery: After moving out of the big city and into the forest, you meet some men that might have some awners about whats been causing your pain.
Explicit under the cut
“I did not listen to you Gaz and because of that, Duck, you got hurt.” Price sat on the floor looking genuine.
Gaz sighs before standing over Price and cupping his jaw with both his hands. With his thumb he opens Price’s jaw and spits in it “You are forgiven…You need to listen to me. I'm an omega and have a different perspective than you knotheads.”
Price remained in the kneeling position and looked up at Gaz with adoration and understanding. “I understand now, I am truly sorry for everything.” A soft smell filled the area causing you to sneeze.
“Laying it on thick aren’t ya Cap’” Soap teased gently, “Even the nose blind puppy can smell it..”
“I’m notta puppy!” Huffing you tilt your head to look up at Soap, “I’m 60!”
“Not even that old puppy” Soap teased “Guess how old we are..”
“Um I feel like this is a trick question..” thinking for a second “Price is 100, You are 30, Gaz is 32, and um Ghost is 80..?”
“Not even close puppy..” Price gave you a teasing look. “I’m 800ish, Soap is 67, Gaz is 600ish, and Ghost is 720ish years old..”
“Nu uh no wayyyyy” You look at the men flabbergasted.
“Don’t fret you're not the only puppy, Soap is too” Price gave you a smirk and Soap rolled his eyes.
“Okay, okay you three..” Gaz sighed and turned around so he was looking at you “we need to sort out your heat.”
“Oh yeah...” You nod, still curled up In Soap’s lap feeling so safe and comfortable. “What does that look like, um, I kinda got the gist? I just get really horny right?”
“More or less,” Gaz started to pace as he started explaining “It comes in waves, so first you’ll get really hungry, thirsty, clingy, very sleepy and in that stage you’ll put on some weight which isn't a bad thing. Then you’ll want to nest and then you'll sleep. You could get really horny or you could just be very clingy and sleepy.” Pausing in front of you and Soap Gaz gave you a soft look “It’s different for everyone duck…”
“Oh alright…when will that happen?”
“Once your cycle figures itself out then it’ll be twice a year.” Gaz sat back down on the couch sighing. “They rut 6 times a year, which can be rough at times…”
“Duck,” Price looked at you gently, standing up he ruffled Soap’s already messy mohawk. “We will help out since it’s dangerous to go through a heat alone…and please understand we will go at your pace.”
Kissing your temple Soap huffed as Price ruffled his hair. “However,” Soap started “before heat starts and before it gets to yer’ brain we need to ken if we can help you sexually if needed..”
“I can’t do one night stands” You look at the three men quietly “I get too attached, but if you guys are gonna stay then I wouldn’t mind...”
“Duck, you aren’t getting rid of us unless you want us gone…” Gaz smiled, leaning over to lick your jaw.
“Gaz! You licked me!” You cringe a bit, unused to the custom.
Soap joined in, licking your neck. “Best get used to it, duck!”
“You're supposed to kiss on the lips.” You grumble half heartedly.
“Okay, okay duck come here.” Gaz pulled you into his arms smiling “Can I give ya a kiss?”
Nodding as Gaz pulls you into a gentle and chaste kiss. If felt like molton love pressing onto your lips. As Gaz pulls away you chase his lips. You sigh happily.
“That's what you are supposed to do..”
“Oh yeah?” Soap looked at you mischievously. “Like this?”
Soap pressed his lips to your mouth, he was an amazing kisser. He felt much more wild with his kiss. Soap then licked a stripe up your cheek. You push him off playfully. “Was that good duckie?”
“Alright you pups, lettem’ go.” Price gently scruffles the two men, looking at them with fond exasperation. “Gaz, If you are alright with it, in the next hour or so could you go talk to Simon? Me and Soap will keep an eye on duck, maybe take them into town to get them some nesting supplies…?”
Gaz nodded, looking a bit frustrated. “Simon needs to pull his head out of his ass..”
“Is Simon, Ghost?” You ask, looking between the men confused.
Leaning close to your ear, Soap’s breath fanned over your neck making you squirm a bit from the sensitivity “yup..” then he licked your neck again causing you to squeal.
“Soap!”
Pulling you both apart Gaz kissed the cheeks of you and Soap before pulling away to kiss Price on the cheek. “I’ll be back, I gotta knock some sense into that big wanker.” Gaz then left out the sliding glass door running back into the forest.
Soap took the distraction to flip you both so he was laying on top of you on the couch. He buried his face in the crook of your neck “You smell so good duckie..” sighing he melted against you “could do for a kip”
You and Soap laid comfortably on the couch for about 45 minutes before Price loomed over you both.
“Soap” Price rumbled, gently running his hands down both of your backs. “We need to get some things for their heat, and for duck’s den…”
Soap made a grumpy noise, wrapping his arms around you. “ah ken but-”
“Soa-”
“You could nap in my bed while me and Price go out?”
“But it wouldnae be warmmmmm.” Pouting, Soap made a sad noise as he snuggled against you more.
“I have a heated blanket?”
“A what?” Sitting up, Soap manhandled you into his lap again. He looked incredibly intrigued.
A spark of arousal lit through and before shaking it off you hum “It’s an electric blanket that has settings and stays fairly warm..” You look at Soap kindly “It used to help a bit when I had the implant in my arm..”
“Ooo” rubbing his eyes, Soap looked interested. “Would be nice..I’m always cold..”
Climbing out of his lap, you stand ready to get Soap into bed.
“You can do that or you can come help get some good treats for duck..” Price murmured slyly. “If not I’m sure me and duck can find 'em well enough, yeah?”
A conflicted look decorated Soap’s face, he did look exhausted and like he needed a nap but he really wanted to help.
Picking up on Soap’s exhaustion “Me and duck’ll wait on groceries so you can nap okay?” Price looked at Soap softly. In a fluid moment Price picked Soap up and brought him up to your room with you trailing close behind.
As soon as he was set on the bed and covered up with the blanket Soap was dead to the world, softly snoring as he fell asleep on his side.
“Alright duck, get dressed.” Patting your shoulder, Price walked down stairs.
You bush, remembering you were only wearing a thin robe. Quickly and quietly you toss on some comfy clothes and walk down stairs. Price was sitting at your kitchen table scrolling on his phone.
“Ready, duck?”
“”Yessir”
