Remus Lupin has always carried more than the curse of the wolf. Beneath the quiet smiles and clever words lies a darker secret-an addiction to pain, to control, to the sharp edge of silence. As his friends laugh in the sun and dream of freedom, Remus battles a war they can't see, hiding scars that go deeper than skin. This is the story of a boy haunted by the moon, and the weight of a truth he doesn't know how to share.
