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.
Violet was working in her shop in the market with her mother just like every other day. Day after day of the same work, the same people.
She knew all the faces here in the pack, and she was bored. The only thing that she found joy in these days was drafting new designs. That's when she really felt like an authentic version of herself.
It had been her idea to develop breakaway designs of clothing exclusively for lycans. One of the things she hated more than anything was tearing her clothes while shifting or having to stop and take everything it off. It was such a pain.
Some of her friends agreed that fun, fashionable clothing that could easily tear away when shifting without destroying the clothes would be something they would wear. When Violet told her parents about her idea, they were supportive and found a way to pay for her online schooling in design.
