Shaeli wants to come out of the shadows and fully experience life, while keeping her true nature a secret. Growing up wild and free, Shaeli was made a part of the wolfen Guttheridge clan when she was very young. Not remembering much of her early life, Shaeli wants to know what existence is like for regular people. Feeling the need to protect her, Shaeli's clan intervenes to keep her away from a society that won't understand them. Venturing out on her own, getting to know people, even discovering that she might not be the only survivor of the tragic accident that claimed her parents, Shaeli is plagued by the fear that those she has befriended won't accept her if they knew all about her.
