Welcome to Protected, the first book of The Moon Phase Trilogy!

She has two jobs and she's getting excited about school. It's her last year of high school and she can't wait to leave. Just a week before school starts, she comes home after her camp job and sees something different about her home: curtains are closed, lights are off and the doorknob is scratched. Her mind went to a place she hoped didn't happen, but when she walked in the house, she didn't like what she saw: house was trashed, her mother lying on the ground dead and her father no where to be found. She ran upstairs to her two sisters screaming and saw a dark figure hovering in the opposite corner of her sisters. The figure took a step towards her and knocked her out. After that incident she had felt strange rumblings inside of her. A week after that she meets a boy, who's staying with her best friend for the year. Ericka feels like he's following her around, but she can't prove it. What she CAN prove is that there is a blond and white wolf watching her every move. The only real question is, why? Find out what happens with Ericka and her younger sisters as they go through dangers they've never seen before and grieve over their murdered mother. Along with finding out where their father went in such a big hurry. [Word Count before editing: 50,000 - 55,000 words]

She goes to high school, she has a best friend, an older brother who is protective, parents who love her but never knows how to show it, and she is at the top of her class.

Her parents had continued to tell her the opposite and bombard her with questions, wanting to know what the doctor had said. She storms off and runs into the woods, tripping over a large silver dog crate. She gets hit in the head by something and somehow gets home. After she wakes up from being knocked out, a shadow of something scurries across her eyes. Her doctor and brother are concerned and do all the research they can to figure out what it is. Someone is trying to keep secrets hidden from her. Someone is trying to make sure she doesn't get her powers. She doesn't know who, but what she DOES know is that it's someone she trusts. The only real question is, why? So, instead of taking her fate, she turns to a cluster of werewolves in the neighboring town for some help. Find out what happens when Astoria runs into a familiar werewolf with a moon phase necklace that they claim is hers.
