"How much do they want?" I asked, as the maid poured us another round of whisky. "They're prepared to make negotiations on the price, Alpha. They need the money." Boris, my beta, sipped his drink. "What about the girl?" I sighed, leaning back in my chair and placing my hands behind my head. "Where is she ranked in the pack?" "She's a maid. However, Alpha Orion stated that the girl satisfies health requirements. She will give you a strong heir." --- Theo Stormblade, the Alpha of the Kingdom's most feared, strongest pack. When his mate died five years ago, he became cold, heartless, and distant from his pack. Different from the open, kind, extroverted leader he once was. When his cabinet of elders approached him about finding another mate, he disagreed, negotiating only to produce an heir. Millie Rose was born into the Eclipse pack, one of the poorest, smallest packs in the entire Kingdom. She was left an orphan and a maid after her parents, who were once among the strongest fighters in her pack, suddenly passing away when she was fourteen years old. When the Eclipse pack hears about Alpha Theo's hunt for a surrogate, they quickly reach out and make a deal, offering Millie to the well-feared Alpha in exchange for some cash. Will Millie be able to escape the life of a maid at last, and will Theo be able to change his heart after losing his beloved mate?

After Earth fell to war and ruin, the last of humanity was scattered across the stars. She was one of them-soft-spoken, wide-eyed, and far too gentle for the chaos she'd survived. When she's sent to a distant alien world, she expects nothing but cold protocol and uncertain survival. What she finds instead is a Choosing. They are not human. Towering, beastly, and covered in armor-like scales, the males of this proud, ancient species have lost all their females to a silent plague. Desperation weighs heavy on their honor-bound culture-but so does hope. One by one, each male steps forward to choose a human. And he chooses her. Silent. Massive. Fiercely loyal. He doesn't speak her language, but his actions say enough: he will protect her, cherish her, and never let harm touch her again. As she learns his world-its customs, its comforts, its thunderstorms and gentle warmth-she also learns him. And in the safety of his arms, she finds something she thought the stars had taken from her forever: a home.

My body shook with fear, I hugged my knees to my chest, hidden in the small closet in my childhood bedroom at the pack house. My fingers were scabbed and bloody from my constant nibbling and picking at the skin. A stress induced behaviour. ''𝘿𝙚𝙚 𝙙𝙚𝙚...'' A voice snarled my nickname, prolonging each syllable just to torment me. I covered my mouth in an attempt to muffle my sporadic breaths. ''𝘾𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙤𝙪𝙩, 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙧𝙚.... 𝙄'𝙢 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙜𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙚𝙖𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙡𝙚 𝙤𝙣𝙚.'' It snickered, its amusement evident. I sobbed, it knew where I was. It was playing with me. Like a cat with a mouse. Only this was no cat. This was a lycan. A merciless, demonic, alpha lycanthrope. Blurb: Desdemona Price thought when she finally found her mate she would be happy. But she was wrong, he was an evil man, who had no care for her or the mate bond. It soon became clear to her that only one of them would survive. She did what she had to do.

Adena never thought she would be taken from the only home she ever knew. Never thought of going out outside of the walls in which she grew up. Of course being forced to leave them should not count, since it wasn't her decision. Tarek saw the lovely girl and could not help himself. He felt drawn to her and she was his bride, his mate, his other half. Plain and simple. It did not matter whether she liked it or not, she would learn to. And he would finally find his peace, maybe he could teach her a few things along the way.

"Fate is tricky and her time is limited. She can love without reason, and forgive without thought - that is her curse and her gift. Be that as it may, the wolf will remain by Red Riding Hood's side for all eternity, for she is a lady, and he, a monster." - Aleksandra Volkov. Van Volkov was born with a curse, a demon that lives inside of his mind, and a promise to protect. Having lived his entire life for the sake of others, he has created a steel wall that surrounds himself - impenetrable, just like his heart. Revered as a God by humans and a murderer by his own kind, he lives in secrecy, letting few humans know that he is one of four pure lycan's left in the humans world. That all changes when he rescues a human child after her family are killed by rogue shifters. Vowing never to acknowledge her existence or his rare act of kindness, he struggles with the fact that she could be the key to breaking down his steel walls and unlocking his buried humanity. But how do you find your humanity when you're not really human at all? Aira Blight was six years old when she witnessed her entire family's death. Taken in by a doctor and his kind wife, Aira slowly but surely recovers from the trauma. As she grows, Aira is supported financially and academically by a supposed stranger, but she knows her saviour is watching over her, and her one wish is to help her cold and angry hero feel compassion and love - the same sort of compassion and love he has shown Aira her entire life - although he may not know it. ----- Published December 15th, 2016.
