In the wilds of the Pacific Northwest, Lily has always felt out of place.

To survive, Lily must embrace her newfound powers, face the wolves of her past, and protect the love that could change the fate of their kind forever.
Lily sat at her desk, the faint hum of the fluorescent lights above filling the small, windowless office. Outside, the sky was slowly darkening, and the streets of the small town of Red Hollow began to empty. It was the same every night-quiet, almost unnervingly so. Yet, Lily couldn't shake the feeling of restlessness that gnawed at her. Something was calling to her from the woods beyond the town limits, a deep yearning she couldn't explain.
She sighed and pushed away from the desk, rubbing her eyes. Her shift at the library had ended, but she hadn't yet found the energy to leave. It wasn't that she hated this town-she had grown up here, after all-but there was something about it that never felt like home. The air always felt heavy with secrets, the kind of secrets that could suffocate you if you weren't careful.
Her grandmother used to tell her stories of wolves and magic when she was younger. Wolves who walked like men, men who could shape the very fabric of nature with their hands. It had always been just stories. At least, Lily had believed so. But recently, the dreams had started. Dreams of running through the forest, her bare feet pounding against the earth, with a large, dark wolf at her side. The same wolf she had seen in flashes of memory from when she was a child, memories that always felt just out of reach.
Lily stood up, grabbed her jacket from the back of the chair, and decided to take a walk. Maybe some fresh air would help clear her mind. The chill of the evening nipped at her skin as she stepped outside, the wind carrying the scent of pine and damp earth. Red Hollow was nestled between dense forests and rolling hills, a perfect little town that felt isolated from the rest of the world.
A soft growl of wind stirred the trees, and Lily paused, sensing something. She wasn't sure what it was-perhaps it was the way the night felt different, the air almost thick with anticipation. The kind of stillness that clung to the edges of a storm, just before the first crack of thunder.
The forest was just a few steps away from the edge of town, and despite the eerie feeling that had settled in her chest, she found herself drawn toward it. Something told her to go. She couldn't explain why, but the pull was undeniable, like the whisper of an unseen force calling her name.
With each step into the woods, the tension that had been building within her seemed to ease, replaced by a strange sense of belonging. She moved further, following a narrow trail, the sound of her boots crunching on the underbrush almost drowned out by the distant howls of wolves. Or were they just the wind?
Her heartbeat quickened as a strange sensation crept over her-something primal, something wild, and she stopped. Her breath hitched in her throat as she heard it again. A wolf's call.
It was closer this time, the deep, resonant sound vibrating through the trees and echoing in the hollow of her chest. She felt it, this time, not as a sound but as a sensation. Her skin prickled, her senses sharpened, and for a moment, she could have sworn she heard the beating of wings-though the night was still, and no birds were flying.
Shaking her head, Lily turned and started to make her way back toward town, but the call of the wolf lingered in her ears. It beckoned her, almost pleadingly, as if calling her to join it in some unknown place. The air around her seemed to change as she walked back along the trail, the forest closing in on her, the shadows lengthening.
Suddenly, a movement in the underbrush caught her eye, and she froze. A figure-tall, muscular, and cloaked in shadows-emerged from the trees. His eyes, a piercing shade of silver, glowed faintly in the low light. His hair, wild and dark, framed a chiseled face, and his presence felt like it belonged to the night itself.
Lily's heart pounded in her chest, and she instinctively took a step back. The man-if he was even a man-looked at her with an expression that seemed both curious and knowing. His gaze flickered down to her shoes, then back to her face. The forest around them seemed to hold its breath.
"You shouldn't be here," he said, his voice deep and gravelly, like the rumble of distant thunder.
Lily swallowed hard. "Who... who are you?"
The man stepped closer, the movement fluid, almost predatory. "I could ask you the same question."
She could feel the weight of his presence, like he was both an immovable force and an undeniable part of the night itself. Something about him felt ancient, like the forest had been waiting for him. Waiting for her, too.
"I-I'm just walking," she said, her voice shaking slightly, though she couldn't say why. "I live in town. Red Hollow."
He cocked his head, his eyes narrowing, as though he was assessing her. "You don't belong here."
Lily frowned, taking a hesitant step back. "What do you mean?"
The man's lips twitched in what could have been a smile, though it didn't reach his eyes. "You're not like the others. I can feel it."
Before she could respond, a low growl emanated from the shadows at his feet. The sound was guttural, like an animal in warning, but the man didn't flinch. Instead, he reached down, and from the darkness, a massive wolf stepped forward-its fur as dark as the night, eyes glowing with the same silver light as the man's. The wolf was imposing, larger than any creature Lily had ever seen, and it seemed to recognize her, its gaze locking onto hers with an intensity that made her breath catch in her throat.
Her pulse raced. She wanted to run. But she couldn't. Not because she was frozen in fear, but because, deep inside, something told her that she had to stay. Something told her that this moment was meant for her, that it had been waiting for her all her life.
The man studied her reaction closely. "You feel it, don't you?" he asked, his voice now softer, almost coaxing. "The call of the wolf."
Lily's head swam, her thoughts a whirlpool of confusion. The call. The dreams. The wolf. She had always felt... different. She couldn't explain it. But standing in front of this man, with the wolf at his side, everything suddenly clicked into place.
"I... I don't understand," she whispered, her voice barely audible.
He gave a small, humorless laugh. "You will, in time. But for now, you're not safe here. Not with them."
Lily looked around, her senses heightening. She hadn't heard anything-no footsteps, no rustling leaves-but the air had changed, felt heavier. More dangerous.
"Who are you?" she asked again, trying to find her voice. "What do you want with me?"
His expression hardened, and for the first time, a hint of something dangerous flickered in his eyes. "I'm Elias," he said, his tone now all business. "And I'm here to keep you safe. From them."
Before she could react, a howl shattered the silence, long and mournful, rising from deeper in the woods. Elias tensed, the muscles in his jaw tightening. "We need to go. Now."
The wolf growled in response, its body coiling in readiness.
Lily's feet felt rooted to the ground, as if the earth itself was unwilling to let her leave. But Elias's urgency sparked something in her. A warning. She didn't know who or what was after her, but she knew, deep down, that her life would never be the same again.
Without another word, she followed Elias, the wolf at his side, deeper into the forest, away from the safety of the town. The call of the wolf had been answered. And now, it was leading her into a world she could never have imagined.
