Zhyon, or Zhy for short, Andre Maxwells
He's your typical seventeen year old boy. He hates going to school, loves partying, is his school star quarter back, and a werewolf. Wait what? Thats right, he's a werewolf. You know, a human that can transform into a wolf. HE's not like the wolfs in our human legends though, see, his kind can shift whenever they want to, and when they have a hard time controlling their emotions. One night, while going on he and two other pack members of his were going on patrol in the forest, he smells an intoxicating scent, and in following it, he stumble across Lyric. Beaten and bloodied.
She's a human, bruised and broken, and she's his mate. Wow, the mate of a werewolf. An Alpha at that. Oops, did I forget to mention that he was the leader of his entire pack? Well, he is. How will things turn out for them? Will Lyric be able to overcome her past and accept him? Or will she run away and leave him in the dust?
As Claire aims to leave her oppressive stepfamily behind, she befriends Zion. Will he be her ticket to freedom or a distraction in achieving her dreams?
