Story Notes

This story has been living in my head for a long time, and I’m so excited to finally share it with you. Iris’s journey is about family, love, friendship, acceptance and discovering who you truly are, even when the truth is darker (and wilder) than you ever imagined.

Expect cozy moments, loyal friends, mysterious forests, secrets buried deep, and of course… werewolves.

Now let’s step into the forest together…

Summary

Iris has always known she was adopted, but that never mattered. Her parents loved her fiercely, raising her in a home filled with laughter, warmth, and unbreakable bonds. She never felt different-until now. On the night of her eighteenth birthday, strange things begin to stir in her quiet town. Shadows move in the forest where she was found as a baby. Wolves howl closer than they should. And questions she never dared to ask suddenly refuse to stay buried. Who left her in the cradle by the road? Why has no one ever come looking for her? And what is it about the forest that feels like it's calling her home? The closer Iris gets to the truth, the more dangerous it becomes. Because some secrets aren't meant to be uncovered... especially when they were written in blood and moonlight.
