"There's a big difference between us and that pack." Kevin snaps, anger marking his features.
Sara sighs, stepping in front of the male. "The difference is, they are a pack. We," she pauses, looking into me, seemingly searching for the hollow part of me to fill with her next words. "are a family."

A rare lineage of werewolves called the Omega Lineage, it runs in Ryu. After she's attacked a child and has been dealing with it, the gene has never been more present.
Her wolf is controlled by emotions. Scared? Angry? Even uneasiness; it's a risk for Ryu's wolf to make an appearance. Omega Lines are loose cannons to other werewolves. And that's why there's a stigma, as if painted on their faces as a mark.
In a fortunate turn of events, Ryu has an opportunity to escape this stigma, wipe it off. With the help of a group calling themselves the Socks, she has a chance to learn the truth about what she is and who she is.
The problem? Getting to the point Ryu can take that chance.
Never underestimate stigma-it devours.

A genetically unique but emotionally lost teenager must figure out who she is within her mixed-up, warring world of Shifters and Wolfstalkers.
*****
It wasn't Maddie's choice to be born a half-breed, half Shifter, half Wolfstalker -- a hunter of Shifters -- and it wasn't her choice to keep her identity a secret. But after trying to attend high school like any normal sixteen-year-old, things quickly spiral south when her Stalker uncle finds out about her and catapults her out of anonymity and into the awareness--or possibly the crosshairs--of The Order of the Wolfstalker. Maddie must think fast and figure out a way to keep herself and her family safe, or risk losing everything. Including her life.
