I lost it trying to re enter the soul cairn,before that I had already asked Aela to bring it back,I didn't read through it so I didn't know she would only do it once,but I needed to return to the soul cairn to get the dragon.I had been searching around for two days and had gotten mixed awensers,most say you cannot but I have heard of other ways,a wandering woman at night that if you attack her she can give you lycanthropy,from a quest and various other ways,but none have ever really been confirmed or denied.Considering that many of you know the secrets to skyrim I was wondering if you guys could confirm the companions are the only way to contract lycanthropy.
