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.
August told Penelope she understood why she needed to go with Zagan. She needed to protect her mate and her pack who would be decimated if she stayed to fight. Zagan couldn't be stopped, according to Penelope. He couldn't be killed. Not yet anyway.
Penelope… August clenched her teeth. The powerful alyko who had supposedly made everyone from August's past forget about her. Why was a Winter alyko not powerful to take care of the vampire? And how had she even gotten on their pack land in the first place? How did she know precisely where August was? There were no answers for it. And she wasn't sure the questions mattered at this point anyway with what she was now facing.
