𝐀𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥, Mia Kahele believed she had learned everything there was to know—a belief that would soon prove misguided. The truth unraveled in a moment neither she nor her father could have anticipated. He had never planned for his daughter to discover his identity as a werewolf. But one day, overwhelmed by the chaos of raising five daughters, he lost control. In a flash of instinct and frustration, he shifted and disappeared into the forest, unaware of the fallout that would greet him upon his return.
When he finally came back, he found nine-year-old Mia curled up on the back porch, tears streaking her face. The sight pierced him. From that night on, Mia was captivated. The fear faded quickly, replaced by a fascination that took root deep within her. Her father's secret opened a door she couldn't close. Questions poured out of her—about werewolves, about the supernatural, about the world she'd never known existed. Curiosity became obsession.
Her endless inquiries didn't go unnoticed. Her siblings began to sense something changing in her. What started as concern soon turned into unease. To keep the family's balance and to give Mia a place to explore her growing interests safely, they made a decision: she would go live with her uncle, a man well-acquainted with the supernatural and respected within his own circle.
In La Push, Mia found more than answers—she found a home. Her uncle, a prominent figure in the local shifter pack, welcomed her with open arms. Surrounded by people who understood, she no longer felt like an outsider. Her curiosity evolved into a deep sense of belonging. So when her parents suggested she return to Massachusetts to put distance between her and this world, Mia refused. She belonged in La Push. It was where her heart lived now.
But just as she began to feel grounded, everything shifted again. At sixteen, she met someone she never expected—someone the universe had chosen for her. The discovery of her soulmate caught her completely off guard. It was supposed to be magical. It was supposed to be clear. But all she felt was the ground slipping beneath her feet. Whether it was a blessing or a curse, she couldn't yet tell.
