Lilly, a human, is caught between two overbearing alphas. Both claim her, but only one will have her. A story that contains passion and betrayal. --- This book has explicit content. It may talk about triggering themes such as physical AND sexual abuse, violence, etc. Warning: There will not be a notice before any of these scenes. Please read at your own discretion. --- Note: The story is centered around High School graduate, 18 year old, Lilly. I would definitely change her age to a college graduate, around 22-25. When I wrote this piece, I was in my early 20s. Making the protagonist a few years younger than me didn't seem bad. But, as I've grown, I would definitely mature my characters due to some story line themes. I hope to rewrite and fix said issue. But, if you read the novel beforehand, then just know I am aware. --- ALSO, this book is FICTION. My goal is not to promote anything. It's meant as a distraction, a past time. I hope you read and enjoy the book, but understand it's just a work of art with no agenda besides fun.

After the Great War, the world belongs to the supernaturals. Belle is one of the last free humans - a quiet, fragile girl who watched her entire family die and has lived on the run ever since. Hidden deep in the woods, far from the vampire-controlled cities and the wolves' empire, she's managed to survive without a voice - not because she's mute, but because she never had the chance to learn how to speak. That all ends the day she crosses the border of the Alpha Kings' territory. Captured and thrown underground, Belle expects torture or death. Instead, she finds something far more terrifying: them. Damien and Davien - brothers, warriors, rulers. Kings of the werewolves. Cold. Powerful. Bound by blood and war. But nothing could have prepared them for the impossible truth: They share a mate. And she's human. Torn between instinct, duty, and a connection neither of them understands, the Alpha Kings must choose whether to protect Belle... or destroy the bond before it destroys them. And Belle - hunted, silent, and haunted - will learn that the most dangerous beasts aren't always the ones with claws.
