"I call it Chimera," Dr. Rowan revealed, "it's a serum that could... transform you, infuse you with the instincts and survival traits of multiple animals. The abilities to adapt, resist disease, and withstand pain. Your senses, your reflexes - they'd be heightened beyond anything we've seen!"
	"What's the cost?" Kane demanded.
	"You'll change, Kane. You'll become... more than you are now, something greater, something stronger, something with antibodies flowing through its veins - but something much, much less human."

In a world ravaged by a relentless plague known as the Shroud, humanity is on the brink of extinction. Desperate for a cure, scientists turn to genetic experimentation, merging human DNA with animal traits to create hopefully immune hybrids. But as the plague evolves, even the hybrids are no longer safe.
	Kane is a 17-year-old wolf hybrid desperate to save his only family. So when Dr. Isaac Rowan proposes a dangerous solution - injecting Kane with his cocktail of animal genes called Chimera - Kane recklessly agrees, willing to become a powerful but monstrous abomination if it means his sister will be saved.
Now, with heightened senses and conflicting animal instincts he can barely control, Kane becomes a living weapon. But he soon realizes that Dr. Rowan's true intentions go beyond saving his sister. As he battles the feral instincts threatening to take over his mind, Kane must navigate the collapsing civilization, fend off violent hybrids driven mad by the plague, and uncover the dark secrets behind the Shroud; all while struggling to remain human.
	Chimera is a story of survival, sacrifice, and the blurred line between humanity and monstrosity. As Kane descends deeper into his own internal darkness, he must decide how far he's willing to go - and what he's willing to become - in order to save the only family he has left.

He's been considered exotic or a freak depending on your viewpoint. After years of fighting he has taken a job to help shape up the next generation. One of his students catches his eye. (the first few pages are from Alex's viewpoint then the rest is from Tyler's viewpoint. Changed up to better get into the story.) Excerpt: As for my background, I was born to a rogue mother. No I don't know who my father is, don't bother asking. I spent the years up till I was eighteen bouncing all over the country and learning all kinds of things. I joined the human military where I spent the next eight years. Don't ask what I did it's classified and you aren't cleared for that. Upon discharge I went to work for the High Lycan council. I can't talk about my work their either, so don't ask. The last three years I've just been relaxing, a friend of a friend came to me offered me this position and told me that their pilot school was going to be shut down if they couldn't get all you hoodlums reigned in. I decided it might be fun so here I am." I looked around the assembly and saw a lot of attentive faces. No doubt wondering if I was lying or not. "On what I am. The rumors don't lie, I am a Chimera." the entire room seemed to gasp. I sighed. I hated having to announce that but if I didn't I got all kinds of looks and questions best to have it out at the beginning. "For those of you who don't know the truth of what that is. A chimera in mythology is a creature that is a hybrid. In medical terms it is someone or something that has a genetic duality. There's something to ask Mr Norris about in biology tomorrow." I heard a few laughs and giggles. "For my part I am called Chimera because I have more than one full shape to shift into and can blend them at will. It makes me very powerful and no I'm not going to show you." I heard someone say 'aw man. That'd be cool.'

Karina Lopez Losing her family was the hardest thing to ever happen to 12 year old Karina Lopez. One minute she's a happy, smiling pup, basking in the love and affection of her parents and older brother. The next she's all alone and miserable, watching their blood stain the very garden in which she spent her happy puphood. Taken in by her uncle and his family, Karina slowly starts to piece her life back together. 5 years later she's a strong, independent she wolf of 17, compassionate, loving and above all, kind-hearted. She helped the blind to see, the deaf to hear and the decrepit to walk, asking for nothing in return, which earned her the love, respect and adoration of every member of Blue Moonstone Valley. While her Uncle Trevor cared for and loved her like his own daughter, her Aunt Vanessa and cousins Bailey and Bradley did not. Envious of her niece's bewitching beauty and angered by her purity of heart and spirit, Vanessa wants nothing to do with the endearing angel that was Karina. Damian Volkov Becoming one of the coldest, most feared, most heartless Alphas in the werewolf society was not easy for 27 year old Damian Volkov. He had to work hard to achieve what he had today, taking lives and spilling blood as he climbed the mountain of tribulation to build his empire; Bloodstone Isle. He initiates business deals with powerful Alphas, buys a share in their district and when the time came, he used those resources to his advantage. His parents helplessly watched their only son descend into the pits of ruination with no hope, no light and no love in his stone cold heart. With little to no compassion and empathy for anyone he encountered and absolutely no intention of changing himself to please others, the last thing Damian expected when he travelled to Gemstone Hall for an emergency meeting with several other Alphas and Lunas, was the one thing- or one angel- that would change his life forever.
