"The Wife's Story" is a short story found in Ursula K. Le Guin's 1982 collection The Compass Rose. It describes a wife's retrospective of what she should have seen in her husband before it was "too late." She describes suspicious behaviors that lead the reader to understand that he is (was) a werewolf. When she describes her final realization, as he changes at the dark of the moon into a human, the wife, now obviously the wolf wife rather than the human wife, narrator describes the pack's killing him. The story is unusual for its point of view; of the many books and stories on werewolves, few are written from the point of view of other wolves.
