Neutral. It meant being untouchable. That's what a beta was to Alessio "Alice" Rosenheath, Alpha of the Rosehaven pack. Especially when that beta was Rein Rivers. His right hand, his anchor, the man he trusted above all others. Rein was curt, infuriatingly stubborn, yet capable of kindness so rare it burned into Alessio's chest like a brand. Strong. Loyal. Impossible to shake. And scentless, a beta who had no use for an alpha's claim. Alessio had accepted the truth: Rein would never be his. Not in the way he wanted. Duty demanded a Luna who could strengthen the pack. So he kept his distance. Bit his tongue. Buried the ache deep enough to keep breathing. Until someone appeared claiming to be Rein's fated mate. Now the leash on Alessio's control is fraying. Instinct claws at reason. Morals blur beneath the sharp edge of want. And Alessio knows the truth he's denied for years; when an alpha like him decides something is his, there's no force on earth, or in the pack, that can keep him from taking it. Fate be damned, Rein was his. - Updates: Sunday/Wednesday/Friday

The world is not what it should be. Lucian was born of unknown blood and raised to become Rucrea's future king and Guardian of the Realms. Their enemies had long been defeated, and their land had enjoyed peace for nearly twenty-five years. But when a portal pulls him from his time, he is forced to confront a broken world. Old enemies have risen, breathing life into prophecies that should have crumbled to dust. Their schemes rot the lands and unravel the future that Lucian's fathers once fought to protect. Fate cares nothing for timelines. So, Lucian picks up his swords and fights across eras--from the myths of the past to centuries yet to come. But he will not face the darkness alone. Warning: This novel contains mature scenes, including sexual content and violence. ***This is a sequel to A Ghost's Wish. Although this is considered a standalone novel, names and events will be referenced in this novel. I recommend reading A Ghost's Wish before Dragon Lost in Time to enjoy the full experience.***

His birth should have been impossible, and yet, he is alive; part wizard, part shapeshifter. He's managed to live under the radar and settle himself into a comfortable life. And if he's still lonely sometimes, well, that's just something he will have to get used to. But when his mother needs help and calls Lucas, he meets the most powerful Alpha shifter in North America; Gabriel, a wolf shifter of the old blood. In an attempt to save Gabriel, Lucas accidentaly becomes his mate. Gabriel is overjoyed, despite thinking that Lucas is only one-quarter shifter, three-quarters human.

But a war between shifters and wizards is brewing, and Lucas knows his secret will make him a target for both sides. And his birth father - Midas, head of the Wizard council and most powerful magic user in the world - is making plays for power.
