The Boy Who Stayed

After surviving the massacre of his pack, sixteen-year-old werewolf Tobias Finch expects captivity—not kindness.

Instead, he’s sent to Cypress Hollow: a quiet mountain town where an alpha doesn’t command, a human offers him strawberries, and no one treats him like a weapon.

But freedom comes with its own dangers.

For the first time in his life, Toby is allowed to choose—what he eats, where he goes, who he becomes. As he navigates high school, unexpected friendships, and a world that feels too gentle to trust, he must decide:

Is this place just another illusion…

or is it finally a home worth fighting for?
