The Splits In My Skin — Angela Stevens

When Johan Vargr inexplicably shifts to wolf, he was not the only one to feel the shock waves. As a human-Lycan hybrid, transition should never have happened. With the family secret out in the open, Tore, Johan's father, finds himself spitting out excuses for why he'd never told his youngest son about his heritage.

For Johan, this is the last straw. Tore's lies and drunkenness have taken their toll. So now Johan does the only thing he can. He runs. Runs from his father who'd made him into this monster. From his brothers who'd kept this secret from him. And from his sister, because he is afraid she will no longer love him.

This Vargr Clan Companion Novella slots in after book two- Hold On. It takes a detour from the main trilogy and explores what happens to Johan over the two years he is away. The author recommends reading this novella between book 2 (Hold On) and book 3 (An Unbreakable Will), or after completing trilogy.
