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.

"More than a vampire? Are you a hybrid or a scientific experiment of some kind?" Greta persisted impatiently, her hand tightening around the girl's arm.
The anguished noises kept erupting from the girl, but she nodded her head even in the midst of it. August found herself moving closer to Graeme, seeking the security of his warmth as she watched this unfold.
