This fan fiction was originally written years ago when I was thirteen. Since then, it's been rewritten and could still be edited.

Any Quileute legends mentioned in this story are not authentic and are part of Stephenie Meyer's fictional take. The real Quileute people do not claim shape-shifting wolves in their traditions in the way the Twilight series presents them. The Quileute tribe has their stories and tales available online at: quileutenation.org

I love the Twilight world and the characters in the pack, but I know they're rooted in a real community, and they deserve respect.

Please take a look at the Quileute Move to Higher Ground project, located at: mthg.org.

"Our mission is to secure the future of the Quileute Tribe by moving our at-risk community to the safe zone where our heritage and culture can continue to thrive for generations to come."

Since this fanfiction features Indigenous characters, I wanted to share something important.

In real life, Indigenous women and girls go missing or are murdered at heartbreaking rates in the U.S. and Canada. So many of these cases don't get the attention or justice they deserve. This crisis is known as Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW).

When I first wrote this story, I was really young and had no real understanding of what Indigenous communities face. Now that I'm older, I believe awareness matters, and even a small mention can help.

All original Twilight characters and plot belong to Stephenie Meyer, except the ones I created.

All the pack members are one year older than they are in the Twilight books.

This story starts during New Moon. 

I tried to follow the book's timeline, but made some small changes. For example, I know Quil becomes a shape-shifter in Eclipse, but he phases sooner in this story.
