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.
Out back, August and Greta were enjoying the distraction of helping the pups with their masks.
Lily was finishing her rabbit mask, painting it with all the colors available. Its cute bunny face was brightened with the colors of the rainbow, and August smiled watching the girl bite her lip in concentration, covering every bare spot that still lacked color so that it would be perfectly filled.
Lily had come a long way. She was still quiet and shy, but the withdrawn pup who had avoided art classes all together was nowhere in sight. There was something about being here and creating things with her hands that seemed to heal a part of her.
