Alexander didn't cheat. He just gave someone else his attention, his laughter, and the smiles that used to belong to his wife. And she watched him drift, not to another woman's bed, but to her presence. Her laugh. The way she made him feel seen in a room full of people. Everything he found in someone else - Zara had been giving him all along. Eight years of marriage. One little boy who loved them both. And Zara standing in the middle of it all - wondering when she became the woman he stopped choosing. She warned him. Three times. The first - he dismissed her. The second - he called her jealous. The third - he called her insecure. So she stopped warning him altogether. And stopped waiting. Love wasn't enough... and now it might be too late.

Things have changed. A marriage that was believed to be built on a solid foundation is put to the rest when storms roll in. Communication stops, needs are neglected and doors are opened for outside influence. Is it worth saving? Are years of love and unity worth saving? When the storm passes who will they be? Will the home they've built fall or be reinforced.

Not Another Were Story, Rejection Series In the third and final story in the rejection shifter series, Faith is a hybrid. She shifted early and only her mother knows for fear of what others would think or do to her. On her 18th birthday, she is scented out as the mate of a Warrior from another pack. He rejects her for being "wolfless." The higher ranks in the pack encourage and support the rejection as the pack considers humans and wolfless "undesirables." The pack is one of the few that encourages chosen mates over fated mates. For her safety, Faith leaves the pack. On her journey, Faith comes across other wolf shifters (and a human?) who her special wolf insists are important to the future of shifters of all kinds. As they travel to the infamous Alpha of the North's territory to further determine the upcoming threat in an attempt to gain more alliances, Faith comes across her second chance mate: The Alpha of the North. He initially resists the bond, thinking a wolfless mate could not be helpful to him in a time of war. But he soon realizes, he needs his mate as much as she needs him to overcome the threat.

This story has been removed from Wattpad. An edited and revised version is now available on Kindle. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H3WK79XZ Thank you! Blurb: Melody and Micah Whitley have built a life together in the small town of Valley Falls. They fell in love in college, where Micah was a star baseball pitcher-until a shoulder injury ended his dreams of the major leagues. Melody is used to standing beside the people she loves, adjusting when plans change. She and her sister grew up in foster care, and when Dana passed away, Melody stepped into motherhood when they adopted her niece, Daisy. When Micah agrees to help his childhood friend's sister, Audra, and her young son, Ben, he sees it as an opportunity to pay back an old debt. Micah invests deeply in Ben's life, but as his attention shifts, Melody and Daisy are pushed aside, and the marriage begins to strain under the weight of unspoken grief, unmet needs, and blurred boundaries. Note: There are mentions of infertility, adoption, foster care, grief, addiction/self-harm and death of a non-main character. There is no physical cheating, but there is some OW drama and emotional betrayal/infidelity. Christian and faith themes woven throughout.
