Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. How far is it from Stonehaven's front gates to the house?

Answer: a quarter of a mile

"I sidestepped back onto the road, then started up the quarter-mile lane to the house."

"Bitten" was actually the sequel to the short story "Truth and Consequences" by Kelley Armstrong. This story can be found on her website.

2. When the cab driver warns her that "there's something out there," what does Elena think he's talking about?

Answer: Clay

"I thought he was referring to Clay. 'Something' was an apt description."

Kelley has also written other short stories and novellas based on her books, that can all be found on her website.

3. What does Jeremy have that makes him an excellent Alpha?

Answer: absolute self-control

"Although Jeremy could never be considered the best fighter in the Pack, he possessed a strength that was even more important for the survival of the modern Pack. Jeremy had absolute self control. Being able to master his own insticts and urges meant he could see the problems the Pack was facing and deal with them rationally, making decisions untainted by impulse."

4. What were Nick's mother's initials?

Answer: LKB

"LKB were Nick's mother's initials. It was the only place in the Legacy where a mother was memorialized."

Kelley has also written stories for three anthologies.

5. According to Peter, what do Antonio's reasons why Daniel was the murderer lack?

Answer: utter suicidal stupidity

"'How about one that involves utter suicidal stupidity? Daniel doesn't meet that qualification.'"

Kelley decided to write about werewolves after she saw a TV show that portrayed werewolves as -- well, not wolves. She thought, "That's not how I'd do werewolves," and the rest is history.

6. What did Daniel do that made Clay hate him?

Answer: he upset Jeremy

"Daniel eavesdropped on Nick and Clay's conversation and raced off to regale the Pack with the story of Clay's expulsion from kindergarten, which had something to do with dissecting the classroom guinea pig to see how it worked, but like I said, I was fuzzy on the details -- when I asked Clay about it, all he'd say was 'it was already dead,' which was apparently supposed to explain everything. Whatever the story, it embarrassed Jeremy, who'd been fudging the details when explaining to the others why Clay's school career had lasted only a month. By upsetting Jeremy, Daniel had earned Clay's eternal rancor."

At first, Kelley Armstrong's werewolves saw things in black and white, like real wolves, but she kept forgetting and described things in colour, so she changed that guideline.

7. As a child, Clay had to go to the doctor, and though Jeremy asked not to have bloodwork done due to "religious reasons," it was done anyway, and the situation led to a missing lab technician along with Clay's files, and Jeremy becoming Pack doctor. Why was Clay at the doctor in the first place?

Answer: he jumped down an elevator shaft

"It was something Jeremy took on when, as a child, Clay jumped down a department store elevator shaft (don't ask) and fractured his arm in several places."

Kelley and fans have also come up with song lists for her novels. Again, they are on her website.

8. What does Elena tell Philip is wrong with Clay?

Answer: antisocial personality disorder

"I should have warned you. Undiagnosed antisocial personality disorder. Don't take that crap from him while he's here."

"Bitten" wasn't intended to be the beginning of a series, but it ended up there, with new narrators coming in and old ones, like Elena, coming back.

9. What was Clay's gift to Elena for her second Christmas as a werewolf?

Answer: a Christmas celebration

"Then came Christmas. I expected it would pass again with little fanfare, like the year before. Instead, we had a full-blown Christmas, complete with presents under the tree, coloured lights sparkling against the snow, and a turkey on the table. The whole Pack came to Stonehaven for a week, and for the first time I knew how hectic, stressful, loud and wonderful a family Christmas could be. I thought this was how the Pack normally celebrated Christmas when they didn't have an angry new female werewolf to contend with. It wasn't until January that I learned the truth. Clay had contacted Jeremy and asked him to do this for me. That was his gift to me."

Although the title of her series is "Women of the Otherworld," Kelley Armstrong included male narrators in her online stories.

10. What were Jeremy's first words when he, Nick, and Antonio reached the cabin?

Answer: nonrepeatable

"Naturally, Jeremy was incredibly impressed by how well I'd handled things on my own and vowed never to shut me out of anything ever again. Yeah, right. His first words were nonrepeatable. Then he said if I ever, ever did anything so stupid again, he'd -- well, that part was unrepeatable, too, though Clay, Antonio and Nick were quick to repeat it, each adding their own threats."
