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.
Nedra felt like her breath had been stolen from her. Zagan had seen Selah when she was here on the island? At such a young age?
"How is that possible?" She asked, feeling lightheaded. Selah could have been taken or killed or… so many scenarios erupted through her mind.
"Do you need to sit down?" Zagan asked, approaching her once again when he saw that she appeared to be dizzy.
She nodded, looking around her like she didn't recognize her surroundings, and he slipped past her to open a door to the nearest room. There was a sitting area inside, and he gestured for her to enter. This was the same room where he had hid when his heart started beating the first time.
"I don't understand," Nedra said after sitting in the chair, gripping the sides of it like it was anchoring her.
Zagan watched her silently. He didn't realize revealing that he knew about her children would create such a strong reaction after all this time and now when he was no longer a threat.
