He was enjoying this far too much. "Just do not ever scare me like that again, Jasper," I fussed. He winced as I moved the cloth across his ribs. "Or what?" he toyed. I stopped and glared at him, stammering, trying to think of something clever. "I-I'll... I don't know, but I'll think of something." Before I knew it, Jasper had his arm around my waist and pulled me into the tub with a splash. "Jasper," I gasped. In a world where humans and orcs have been at war for centuries, 22-year-old Lady Brenna of Blackwater Hold is sent to the Northern Orruk Horde - an unheard-of act. Her father, King Corvus, pledged her to the chief, Jasper Bloodborne, to save his own life. Were these orcs the beasts her father taught her to fear? She soon learns how wrong she was - and that her time in the Northern Orruk Mountains will change everything she thought she knew about loyalty, courage, and desire. ⚠️ Content Warning: This story contains sexual content, mentions of SA, miscarriage, abortion, violence, and gore.

[Excerpt; first 4 chapters only] Aliens storm our ship, threatening the lives of the crew. I bow my head and approach the alien commander, Tarak. Alien predator eyes lock on me. In desperation, I invoke an ancient word. Tarak hurls a metal collar that clatters at my feet. With trembling hands, I seize the collar, lifting it to my neck. The collar locks. Tarak's tail thrashes in excitement, and he clips a leash to me. I make a vow. I wear this collar to save my crew, but Tarak will never own my spirit. Why then do I want to fall to my knees? Why do I crave his touch?

His Secret Baby Alpha Dylan Rogers has been away from his pack for too long. His father is getting old, he wanted to pass down leadership to him now for two decades, but he was having none of it. So he went away to join the Archangels. The U.N werewolf army that all men have to dedicate at least a year of their life too. However he has been there for twenty years. Fighting rogues, ending disputes putting his life on the line everyday just to run away from his duties. Now it was time for him to come home. Other Alphas think his pack is ripe for the picking. That the warrior Alpha is away. Kate is human. She knows nothing of the werewolf world. Hell she doesn't even know they exist. She met a wild man. More animal than man in a bar. She was at that bar looking for her sister's husband to tell him to come home. What she did not anticipated was to be seduced by this hulk of a man. To have her virginity to be taken in a dark forest. Or for him to disappear in the moonlight leaving nothing but his necklace and a bite around her neck. Two people from two different worlds will come together in surprising circumstances. Can she love a man that turns into a beast? Can he love a woman that is a human. That is his inferior? The werewolf world is changing. The wolf would need to adapt if they need to survive.
