Three years after he was banned from his former pack for betrayal, Alexander Simpson is now trying to remain in the shadows. How does he intend to do that? By joining the staff of the Huserdown's household, an old, powerful family of vampires who lives in an island and hardly meddles with the rest of the world. Problem? The Huserdowns only hire humans and they hate werewolves to the core, especially the youngest son, Malik. Nevermind: the broken Alex can lie. He actually does it very well, because that's what traitors do, and Alex is nothing but a traitor, isn't he? Many thanks to @Coolipoki for the cover !

IMPORTANT: Once in a Lifetime has been removed from Wattpad and is preparing for publication on Amazon. The first two chapters remain available as a preview. Please read the "READ THIS FIRST" chapter for more information and future updates. They say some loves only happen once. For Ody and Mano, that once changes everything. Mano doesn't do vulnerability. Aggressive, tattooed, cold, and impossible to like, he plays the villain on purpose, because being hated is safer than being seen. And losing someone again isn't a risk he's willing to take. Ody is the opposite. Bright, extroverted, charming, and painfully sincere, he notices when you're hurting, even when you pretend you're not. He remembers your birthday, offers you the last slice, and apologizes even when it's not his fault. For someone like Mano, that kind of softness is dangerous. When their lives collide, nothing about them makes sense, except the way they keep gravitating toward each other. What starts as tension becomes something neither of them can name, and soon, something they can't stop. But between secrets, buried trauma, and a world that won't let them exist without consequences, wanting each other comes at a cost. One keeps pushing him away. The other keeps reaching past every warning sign. Together, they burn. But when everything catches fire, love may not be enough to save them.
