She soon learns she's been accused of a murder, and the victim? The former Alpha. Locked away by the brother of the man she supposedly killed, Genesis realizes she must fight to prove her innocence, and navigate her new life in a pack that's already rejected her, if she ever wants to make it out alive. But even as the line between enemies and foes, as well as hate and love begins to blur, a looming darkness threatens to destroy all of wolf kind and mankind. And even in this make-believe fairy tale, Genesis learns happy endings still aren't given nor promised. ✨Werewolf Week - featured 10/26/20✨ ✨From Our Stars - featured 2/9/21✨
