-A Werewolf Story-
December Lucas was given up at an extremely young age, estimated to be 2, to the St. Francis Orphanage, left with no name, no family records, only a small collection of faded scars on her body. December grows up without any sense of family or belonging, that is until she turns 16. A shifted sense of self with a voice inside of her head, the feeling in her gut to seek out blood, and.... claws? With these clues, she is begins the journey to get closer to her true identity and her family. She grows to venture beyond the saftey of the orphanage and her town and into the wild forest beyond the borders. On a quest to learn of her life before she was given up from, she is stumbles upon much more than what she bargained for: a war against an ancient evil, falling in love with the enemy, and maybe even discovering the family that abandoned her so many years ago.
A search for the truth. A revelation into a secret world. A war inside a longing heart. A conflict between morality and justice.

At four years old, Sophia was spared the fate that befell the rest of her family. The daughter of the beta to a pack that had fallen, she should have been killed. Being within five years of age to the Heir Alpha for the conquering pack, she was allowed to live with the understanding that when the time came, she would provide the next generation of Alpha to him.
The rules are clear on how to treat breeders, but Alpha Dominic never wanted just a breeder. The more freedom he gives Sophia, the greater the risk to her well-being. Without freedom, would she ever be able to choose him? And without a choice, could she ever love him?
Neither are comfortable with the traditional expectations of their roles, but are they better off deviating from the norm? When given the chance, would she surrender her duty to Alpha Dominic to become a full-fledged mate to someone else?
