Shimmer in the Darkness
Updated at May 23, 2021, 02:00
Life is hard for Gwendolynn Violet, the daughter of the Blood Moon Packs only omega. She is the only non-wolf shifter in a pack of wolf shifters who dislike anything different. To protect her, her father told the pack she can’t shift, forcing her to keep half of herself a secret from the people who are supposed to be her family. She spends her lunches hiding out reading books next to the dumpster behind her school so that no one will find her and her evenings feeling like the pack’s personal servant. All the pack members look down on her for being the only member of the pack who can’t shift. All the other teenagers bully her because she is the only supernatural who isn't thin and muscular, no matter how much she trains with her peers. Her father ignores her because she reminds him too much of her mother. Until one day, Ryder Drake shows up at her school dressed in leather, covered in tattoos, riding a motorcycle, and shrouded in mysterious darkness that scares her sensible classmates. He immediately is drawn to Gwen and makes it his goal to befriend her. His large stature and permanent scowl keep the rest of the school at bay, giving Gwen some precious space away from the relentless bullies. All is going great for Gwen, a new friend who she is falling in love with, a break from bullying, and a place she is safe until teenage pack members start disappearing and Alpha Richard bans all pack members from leaving the pack compound. When the Alpha starts going after Ryder thinking he is the culprit, Gwen must find the strength inside her and clear Ryder’s name with the help of his two best friends who show up out of nowhere, Marco and Rafael. Can Gwen figure out who is taking her packmates before it is too late? Or will an innocent man lose his life based on reputation alone?
