To those on the outside, May Winters appears to be nothing more than a completely normal seventeen year old. She has a loving mother, an overprotective father and not forgetting her annoying, big brother. Struggling to finish high school, more time is spent organizing her social life and breaking the rules put down by her parents. Totally normal right? Wrong. May is also a wolf shifter, but she is what her kind call a 'runt' since her mother is human and her father shifter. Considering she has yet to actually shift and shows few signs of ever doing so, she is more human than wolf. It doesn't make trying to work out where she belongs in the world any easier though, especially when dealing with pack life. To complicate things further, there is dealing with her best friend, Caleb, working out her feelings for the new boy in town and talk of 'Hunters' has everyone on edge.
