Levi, a 17-year-old girl, barely escapes the clutches of her abusive mother, Selene, after a harrowing attempt on her life. Awakening in a hospital, she learns she has family waiting for her in Montana. Seeking refuge and a chance at a new life, Levi moves to a small town to live with her potential fathers-Jack and John twins.
As she navigates her first week at a new school and adjusts to her new home life, Levi meets some new friends, and an old love. However, her world tilts once more as strange occurrences hint at her supernatural heritage.
As Levi's journey of self-discovery unfolds, she grapples with the complexities of connecting with each potential father and her own mixed emotions.
Book 2 Building Bonds
Levi's world turns upside down when she discovers that the supernatural is real. Her life, once ordinary, becomes a whirlwind of revelations as she grows closer to her family and friends, Pops (John), Dad (Jack), Gramps (William), Miles, Zeke, Drake, Mason, Darren, Sam, Dylan, and Ryan. Levi struggles with changes within herself, noticing shifts in her senses and abilities. Her photographic memory, mimicry, and empathic skills sharpen, and she begins to heal faster than ever. A shocking blood test reveals that both Jack and John are her biological fathers, hinting at even more fathers. This discovery challenges everything Levi thought she knew about her family and suggests secrets her mother may have hidden. The complexity of her lineage adds urgency to her quest as she scrambles to understand the implications of her unique heritage.
As Levi immerses herself in the supernatural world, Gramps introduces her to a hidden library, where she pushes her abilities to the max. Her photographic memory allows her to absorb everything she can from the books. Levi learns that her mother's family were witches and that all of them are dead. This revelation adds to her feelings of isolation but drives her to learn more. As Levi's powers grow, she becomes more connected to her dad, pops, and gramps, each playing a crucial role in her journey. She discovers that Jack is a jaguar and John and William are panthers. They support her through the bewildering discovery of her multiple fathers and the mystery of her mother's past. Levi's supernatural awakening looms, enhancing her senses, speed, and healing abilities during this pre-awakening phase.
Book 3 Stalking
Levi's life spirals into chaos when a mysterious stalker targets her. It begins with notes left in her locker, then in her jeep, and finally on her doorstep. The messages escalate to texts from an untraceable number and photographs of her appearing at locations she plans to visit. The stalker leaves no clues, and Levi grows increasingly anxious. Her friends, including Miles and Drake, step in to act as her bodyguards. Despite the fear, Levi finds herself drawing closer to her family and friends, strengthening bonds as they rally around her. The situation turns dire when Levi narrowly escapes an attempted kidnapping. Determined to end the nightmare, Levi and her friends devise a plan to catch the stalker, but it backfires, and Levi is abducted.

During her captivity, Levi encounters her captor, who reveals that his father knew Levi's mother and hints why Levi might have different fathers. The revelation leaves Levi reeling, but she remains determined to escape. She seizes an opportunity to break free, but her captor quickly pursues her. Just as Levi is about to be caught, her grandfather arrives and helps her. Together, they manage to subdue the captor, bringing Levi to safety.
