Marlene Dawson was afraid. Everything in life terrified her to her very core, and rightfully so. Defined by her abusive parents, Marlene has grown up unwanted and unloved in the world since she was very young. With no friends, terrible parents, and no one to lean on, Marlene is shrouded in a world of inescapable darkness. To her, there is no way out. But, family can come from anywhere and love can come from anyone. As she, an outcast in every sense, meets another group of outcasts she learns what it means to be part of a family. And when she meets a certain wolf, she starts to believe in a future. And it includes him.
trigger warning: child abuse, abusive parents, strong language, bullying, violence, blood, and attempted murder.

My escape from Springfield, Massachusetts, came in the form of an exchange program to New Delhi, India, one plane ticket for 11:00 am on the thirteenth of July. I left, taking a big suitcase and my camera. I told myself I left for the experience I'd have there, but maybe I left because of the experience I'd had here. I don't know. All I know is that I left, and then I met Maya Sumedh.
Luke Waters came into my life at 12:00 pm on the fourteenth of July, a Saturday. Probably the weirdest Saturday of my life - I picked up a cute guy from the airport, was in a car crash and stayed up the whole night talking to said cute guy. Maybe I even fell in love but I didn't know it until much later.
All we had was four months and camera.
A camera which proved more important than we ever imagined.
