Briar Swan has never belonged.
A world-weary dancer with a sharp mind and a guarded heart, she arrives in Forks carrying shadows she won't share-and a fierce independence that keeps others at arm's length. While the town is small and familiar, the mysteries lurking beneath its rain-soaked streets feel anything but ordinary.
When Briar meets Walker Cullen, a quietly enigmatic boy with eyes like a fading storm, the boundary between reality and legend begins to blur. His silence holds secrets deeper than the forest, and his presence stirs something in Briar's carefully controlled world-an unspoken melody only she can hear.
As whispers of ancient myths grow louder, and danger coils in the edges of the everyday, Briar must navigate a fragile path between curiosity and caution. What is real-and what lies hidden beneath the surface of beauty, power, and desire?
In a town where every secret has a scent, every shadow a story, Briar's journey is one of self-discovery, trust, and the delicate dance between predator and prey.

Bad Moon Rising// Jacob Black
"Red? Little Red?" Wysteria hears the nickname and a memory jolts through her of a boy with a toothy grin and shaggy hair. She turns slowly. Behind her is a lanky guy with hair almost as long as hers, if not longer. His head is tilted slightly in disbelief but he immediately breaks out into a smile once he recognizes her. "Holy shit. It is you." Wysteria is staring at him with inquisitive green eyes. "You... you do remember me right?" It takes Wysteria another moment. "Jaybird?" Jacob breaks out into a wider smile. ---- "Why is everybody staring at me?" "Because you're beautiful." "No... That can't be it." -x- When Wysteria Redbird moves back to the Quileute Reservation in Forks, Washington after the sudden death of her father, she's not surprised to see that nothing has changed. La Push beach is just as cold, the woods surrounding her home are just as scary, and the elders of the Tribe still firmly believe in Spirit Warriors and Cold Ones. Wysteria unfortunately is not the same. Something burns deep inside her. Everyone seems wary of her presence. She feels like a walking plague and wishes more than anything that she was back in Florida with her father who would be alive and well instead of buried six feet under. The only solace Wysteria finds in Forks, Washington comes from Jacob Black and Bella Swan, two childhood friends she had almost completely forgotten. As events begin to unfold and secrets are uncovered, Wysteria begins to understand why the Quileute tribe fears her and soon realizes that she is afraid of herself as well.

cherina calister-swan was breathtaking and it wasn't just her looks. yes, she had the kind of face that made people stop mid-sentence, the kind that stayed with you even after she was gone. but there was more to her than beauty. it was the way she moved, like she didn't quite touch the ground when she walked. there was a quiet rhythm to her presence, a kind of gravity. even her silences were louder than most people's words. when she spoke, you listened. like her voice was a command. it was soft, low, with just enough edge to make you lean in closer. after her father's recent 'accident'- a word that didn't sit right in anyone's mouth, she was sent to forks to live with her cousin, bella swan, and her uncle, charlie. she didn't talk about the accident. she didn't talk about much at all. but her eyes said enough. bella wasn't sure what to make of her at first. she didn't come with luggage full of secrets- she was the secret. composed, eyes always scanning the room like she was counting exits. and though she never asked to be seen, she always was. people noticed. they always did.
