The Midnight Showers Book 1 OH HOLD

"Sebastion heard the growling of the three contestants as they riled up the towns people, and he saw them being put back into the forest as the audience started to shake with anger; towards themselves, towards each other, towards the pain they were starting to feel course through their bodies. Sebastion remembered his first change, and not being able to control yourself at all was something he wasn’t looking forward to experiencing.

Sliding gates along the edge of the forest to keep the contestants in, the shaking men hurried to lock them shut. Sebastion felt the shift in the air as slowly, slowly, their fingers turned to claws, their ears snapped and pointed upwards, their mouths stopped letting air through for the seconds that it took to grow a snout, and their bodies all grew and shifted, their howls echoing louder than the snap of their bones and the rip of their clothes."

Book 1: The Midnight Showers happen every month. The eldest werewolf child is sent during the Wolf Moon of their 18th birth month, and are to fight to the death, letting the strongest werewolf win. It's the elder's way of keeping the young strong, training them from their childhood until their Midnight Shower ceremony, where they enter the forest to begin, possibly, the last night of their lives.
Eldest child Sebastion Caverly is 17, and attending Blackwater Training Academy, readying for his Midnight Shower. His sisters, Rylee Elizabeth and Allie, are the younger children, and live in their village of Luna, with only their mother and some public school teacher to help guide them in their wolf training.
But, when Sebastion gets a messege from his father, Davion, who is supposed to be dead, he has no choice but to leave and look for him, or whoever sent him the messege, which he is convinced was sent from the grave. Along with Midnight Shower survivor Molly Reese, and his cousin Chase Damon-also a survivor- they are determined to find King Davion, and restore peace.
