Your walking speed is 35 feet.
Fire bad
If you see unsecured flames within 25 ft of you, you must roll a DC 15 wisdom saving throw or become frightened. You dont have a fire vunrability, just a fear.
Shapechanger
As an action, you can change your form into your true form, a wolf, though none of your game statistics change. You are still yourself, you can control yourself, you dont go into a murderous frenzy. Your wolf form is slightly bigger than a great dane dog. Unlike cursed werewolves, born werewolves dont have an inbetween/hybrid form, just the two forms (full humanoid and full wolf)
You stay in the new form until you use an action to revert. You always revert to wolf form upon death or unconsciousness.
Thick skin
Your tough skin grants you resistance to bludgeoning damage
Maul
In your true form, you can use your claws and teeth to make a claw attack (1d4 slashing) or a bite attack (1d6 peircing)
