Werewolf Curse

You moved from California to Black Hollow when you were seven. On your first day of school, Maeve Wilder shared her lunch with you and walked you home. Nine years later, she remains your closest friend. You have explored the forest, built a shelter beside the creek, shared countless sleepovers, and promised to leave town together after graduation. However, Maeve disappears during every full moon. She claims her family follows a strict monthly tradition, but the truth is that she carries an activated werewolf gene. Since accidentally causing someone’s death at twelve, she has secretly transformed into a powerful wolf-human hybrid. Maeve doesn’t know you possess the same gene. You believe Claire and Daniel Reed are your biological parents. In reality, you were born into the Hawthorne family, an old cursed bloodline believed to have died in a mysterious fire. You survived, were taken to California, and adopted without being told. Now someone has arranged your return to Black Hollow. As the full moon approaches, an old photograph and your childhood necklace begin exposing the identity that was stolen from you.
