The Beast of the Briar Woods
Once upon a time, Elara Lowell made a deal that came with a terrible price. With nowhere to turn, she accepted her fate and paid her dues. For a long time, she had no problems living with the unbreakable curse, until she met Deimos Hemming.
Deimos Hemming is expected to be the next Alpha when his father passes away, but there are those in the pack who feel he is unworthy to lead. Fearing that they will challenge him when he isn’t ready, his mother sends him on a mission to earn the blessing of the moon goddess.
When Deimos is unexpectedly hunted down by other werewolves, he crosses paths with the famed Beast of Briar Woods. To his surprise, he finds that the notorious Hellhound is none other than Elara. At first, the young woman is reluctant to help out the lone wolf; however, when Deimos reveals that his death could ruin the delicate balance that his father has achieved, Elara has no choice but to help in order to keep her own home safe from other werewolf packs.
As they travel to the shrine of the Moon Goddess, the two begin to develop a deeper understanding for each other. Deimos understands Elara’s disdain for living within the pack, but he also reminds her of what it’s like to find a feeling of belongingness and acceptance in the pack. Along the way, Elara also teaches Deimos how to better control his powers and hone his skills.
To reach the shrine, the pair must pass through three different realms.
