There's an entire world of supernatural races and creatures unknown to humans, most of which tend to keep to themselves. Most creatures either live away from humans or have come up with ways to hide themselves. For the humanoid races, they often integrate with humans by hiding when they have to, but otherwise keep to their own. Scarlett has been trying to survive most of her life on her own from both worlds. After losing her family, she did her best to stay hidden and not let anyone realize what she was. She hid any of her abilities from humans, and hid her hybrid status if she ever ran into the various races of other non humans. It had cost her her family, and if she wasn't careful, it could cause her to lose her life as well... So when she's brought back to a pack house made up of Lycan's after being injured, it's quite an adjustment from being alone. She's unsure whether she can really trust them, whether they'll end up tricking her like others have... She wants to feel safe, especially when she finds out she actually does have a mate there, but she's gotten so used to hiding... How does she actually know she can be safe?
