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.
"Lucas was down there because he was bringing Zoe food. I think he has a soft spot for her," August said thoughtfully.
"So you think Lucas would want to babysit her?" Graeme chuckled. "I highly doubt it."
"Maybe he would do it for us. If we asked him. He's more than capable of it," she thought aloud.
Lucas was a complicated male to figure out. He was the one who reported to the council that Graeme had brought August onto pack land in the first place. He was the reason Marius showed up at the outpost that first day. And he was always appearing at eerily convenient times and apparently following the elders' orders. On the other hand, he told August that he cared about the pack first and foremost and that if she was Graeme's rightful mate, it would make everyone's lives here easier.
