As a weak and powerless human, Eve was never meant to survive. Through a series of miracles, she finds herself taken in by werewolves.

Though she was once abandoned and alone, she is now surrounded by family from two of the most powerful werewolf packs. She has the unwavering love of her parents, the Alpha and Luna of the Crescent Moon Pack, and inexplicably, also the protection of Zachary Stone, the cold but devastatingly handsome Alpha of the Red Moon Pack. Eve never thought she would truly become one of them, as she is no werewolf, but when she discovers her true identity and starts seeing visions, she realizes that the fate of everyone she loves may lie in her hands.Content and/or Trigger Warning: This story contains violence.[[word count: 100,000-150,000 words]]Cover designed by Lily Taylor
