Lana Danley lives her peaceful life in the small town of Rosecliff where she is a senior in high school. The mundane routine of her daily life is weighing on her as she can only dream of the day she graduates and moves to the big city. 
One night, during her shift as a part time forest ranger she finds an unusually large and injured wolf. She decides to help it by bringing it home to treat it’s wounds. Later that night when she goes to check on the wolf, she finds instead her classmate, River Attwood, naked and glaring daggers at her. Soon, she is pulled into the mysteries of Rosecliff and its entanglement with the creatures of the night who rule over the forest, werewolves.

The Moon and Her Secret

　　The ride back to school was accompanied by a heavy and incredibly awkward atmosphere between Lana and River. Lana felt a headache approaching as she slowly tried to engrain all the information she learnt to her memory. She leaned back and closed her eyes, allowing the harsh breeze coming from the open windows to consume her. Her heart felt weird, almost as if she was not fully satisfied at how River reacted towards her last question.


　　A buzz from her pocket made her slightly flinch. She reached to pull out her phone. There were several text messages and phones calls from both Carmen and Suzie. Lana opened up their group chat to reassure them that she was okay.


　　Lana: Sorry about disappearing, I’m heading to our usual spot!


　　Suzie: Jeez!! We thought u died or smthg


　　Suzie: I feel like a mom having to deal with a rebellious daughter :/


　　Suzie: Carmen! What are we going to do with our naughty child?!
