Amber is your average 16 year old girl. Bright, smart, has all A’s in school, but she’s a werewolf. She has the ability to talk to her wolf like every other were does and all the other natural abilities of a normal werewolf; but what makes her case special? No one knows she is one, why; she has a curse; her curse is that no other thing will ever tell that she is a wolf. Not even other weres, but give and take she can’t tell who is a human and who is a were like her. Or so at least her inner wolf told her. Amber doesn’t know any other werewolves besides herself. Her parents, friends, teachers, peers, everyone around her are all human. So just how did she find out about everything she knows about werewolves? Her wolf told her. Her wolf talks to her and guides her to everyday life like she is human. What happens when she turns 17 and her wolf tells her she has a year to find herself a pack before her health is a stake? So how is she going to find a pack, let alone a mate if she can’t even tell the different between humans and weres? Will she be able to keep her secret until she is sure she found a pack of weres like her?
