Caught up in the schemes of his mafia-affiliated uncle and a boy intent on giving him hell, Dare isn't sure he'll get out of Warrent whole. But there's something about Rion that provides an escape-and maybe that mysterious white wolf outside Dare's window has something to do with the spiteful jock. Completed 3/11/23 - 94k words
