Perhaps you angered a wizard who cast True Polymorph on you. Maybe an irresponsible friend or sibling transformed you by accident. Maybe it was a random act of the gods. Whatever the situation, you have spent the last decade or so living as a wolf. Due to the magic imparted on you to turn you into a wolf, coupled with the extended amount of time you have been unable to speak with any human company, you have lost much of your previous identity.

After a while, a pack of wolves took you in, and you began to adapt to your situation. You've learned how to prowl the wilds, never short on food and with a pack to help defend yourself.

A strange turn of events caused you to rematerialize into your true form. You are suddenly thrust into a strange world once again as a humanoid, barely remembering how to talk, let alone what to do. The latent magic of your prior transformation has resulted in some changes to physique as well.
