A tragic accident lands Tory Brennan in the home of an estranged uncle her mother never told her about and a complicated agreement with her father. One where she has the short end of the stick. Getting used to her new normal and always up for an adventure, Tory and the guys spend their time exploring the marshlands of Loggerhead Island, a very off-limits research institute. But something sinister is happening. After an impromptu rescue of a wolf pup for a top secret lab, the gang is exposed to a new strain of virus that leaves them forever changed. Now they are more than friends, they are bound. Not by choice. Now they have one big secret they all share and must keep is they don't want to end up test subjects themselves or in jail. With the new changes from the sickness and the secrets that they keep hidden, will they be able to come together and stop a cold blooded killer? An Academy and Virals series fan fiction. A/N: Hello people! This is my first story that I started when I was in middle school. I wanted to try to redo it and make it better that it was. This is going to be a mash up of a series called the Virals, some of my favorite books. If you haven't tired them I highly recommend. The author's writing is much more eloquent than mine. This book is a bit more science fiction than fantasy, meaning that this is not a werewolf story. There is a similar aspect but this world doesn't have mates or turning on the full moon. I welcome constructive criticism. Thank you! :)All Rights Reserved
