Amelia, a struggling single mother, dreams of providing a better life for herself and her 4-year-old daughter, Phoebe. Unbeknownst to Amelia, Phoebe carries the blood of a unique creature inherited from her gay father, Dave. Haunted by nightmares featuring werewolves and other underworld creatures, Amelia longs to escape the city and find solace in her own home. One serene Sunday afternoon, Amelia finds herself drifting to sleep beneath the shade of a magnificent tree near her dream house. Little does she know that Martin, the charismatic leader of the Tikaluna Tribe and a werewolf with a romantic soul, is about to enter her life. Martin is instantly captivated by Amelia's beauty and falls deeply in love with her. As their bond grows stronger, Martin presents Amelia with an enticing offer - a life filled with wealth, power, and love. However, there is a condition: she must leave her daughter behind. Determined to stay with Phoebe, Amelia challenges Martin to abandon his tribe and undergo a ritual that would strip him of his immortality, allowing them to live as mortals together. Meanwhile, the townspeople desperately seek Martin's aid in protecting them from the relentless attacks orchestrated by his rival beast clan. Martin finds himself torn between his duty to his tribe and his love for Amelia. Will Martin sacrifice his immortality for the sake of love? And will Amelia prioritize wealth and power over her daughter's happiness?

Prologue

Prologue "A GAY LIKE YOU WILL NEVER HAVE THE GUTS TO TAKE PHOEBE AWAY FROM ME! STOP LIVING IN A CLOSET!" Screaming at the top of her lungs, Amelia gives a strong slap on Dave's left cheek. She turned away from Dave and rushed through the heavy rains on Tuesday midnight in the dark busy streets of the city. She collided with people while running and carrying a 5-kilo brown leather bag full of different apparel products. Her tears flow bitterly along with the heavy strong drops of rain, so strong it almost pierced her face that even her mascara smudges leaving dark black streaks in her both cheeks. Her lipstick bleeds because of the pain inside her wounded heart. She can still hear Dave shouting with full of pride, "GO AHEAD, LEAVE! THIS WILL BE THE MAJOR REGRET OF YOUR LIFE!" Amelia did not bother to look back. With heavy steps, her clumsy feet walked through the dirty wet ground, and her heart races like a hungry wolf. She wipes her tears as she tastes the bitterness of the black

Amelia answers in an emotionless tone while reaching for Phoebe's unfinished plate.   "Yes, Dave?" He said in an irritating voice, " You sound like you are in a bad mood." he followed it sarcastically.   Feeling worn out,  she runs her right hand through her head and leans her back to the chair. "Ugh! My head feels heavy, why did you call?"    "It's about..."

It is already 5 in the afternoon and Phoebe comes rushing from school with Nanny Martha, "Mommy! Mommy!" She immediately drops her pink school bag on the floor and hugs Amelia's bottom from behind. Amelia wipes her hand on the kitchen towel and with weary eyes, she bends forward touching Phoebe's cheeks, "Why sweetheart? Is there something wrong?" She carries Phoebe and places her on the couch. Nanny Martha interrupts calmly while preparing the table for dinner, "She told me that a small old man approached her at the gate while waiting for me to fetch her." "Mommy, the old man told me that my right time has come and a ritual is a must. What does he mean mom?" Phoebe asks while her hands are shaking nervously.

The corners of Dave's eyes crinkled, he might have heard it wrong. He leans to the chair and looks heavenward for a second. There is a moment of silence while Phoebe continues to munch the spoonful of rice and strips of beef steak in her mouth. Martha stares at Amelia without blinking. Her hands stopped slicing the steak on her plate, turned her head in Amelia's direction, and bravely whispered, "Since when Amelia?" "If you're are going to ask me Nanny if you are included in my plans, of course. How could I leave you when all my life you have been my second mother?" Amelia almost finishes her dinner and takes the last bite of her steak. "I plan to leave this unit and relocate to a more quiet and peaceful place away from the hustle and bustle of the city, a life away from this city will be better for my child." Amelia surprisingly announced leaving Dave and Martha puzzled. "Our child, you must say," Dave murmured with his left eyebrow raised intensely. "Mom, does that mean that we
