Ezekiel might be slightly disturbed about her having no wolf, but it was nothing in front of the uneasiness he felt in his heart after he met those purple crystals of hers.

My name is Aubrey James, I grew up in a place where I never wanted to be. A place that I can never call a home, where I only exist as everyone's chess piece and a bargaining chip.

Serious game that affected lives and money. Her life.
