WINNER: 3rd Place, 2021 Werewolf Competition [Mature Content] After escaping suicide forest, August Moon finds that she has only gone deeper into the mysteries it holds. Lycans exist. But maybe she is something even stranger... With a clandestine experimental pandemic, a decade-old murder mystery, and a timeless prejudice against strange members within the lycan community all simmering in the periphery of her newfound surroundings, August must fight to discover her own truth alongside a fierce and possessive male who claims to be her mate.
When Graeme had finished at the council, it was already dark out. He made his way through the familiar forest but didn't see it. All of the new information about the clandestine alyko project was running through his mind. It was so much.
He had flipped through pages and pages of research that Zosime had given him from some Norwegian physicist, not understanding any of it. But apparently once alyko were secretly tagged by a suspecting lycan, the future use of their abilities would become visible through some reaction in the transfer of energy in their environment. From the little that Graeme understood, it seemed the mechanism for identifying the tagged alyko had something to do with measuring sudden unusual entropic conversions in the alkyo's surroundings.
