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.
"Graeme?" August cried, running headlong into the water of the hot spring where she saw her mate floating on his back. "Oh Goddess, Graeme! No, no, no. What happened?!"
They were here once again and so soon? And how had they arrived here?
She last recalled struggling with the debilitating pain she felt everywhere like shards of glass were ripping her into a million pieces and Nedra's male lifting her from the ground. Then she was here—she was here, squinting against the sun that shone through the peaceful, swaying trees of this healing world.
