When Alistair Melek gave his life to the sea, various degrees of things changed. For starters, his love for bloodshed was amplified. Bolder. He was drawn to the clash of a sword, blood spilling below the floorboards, like a moth drawn to a flame. And this love was damned to spread through his crew as some treacherous disease, claiming any and all who joined. But he knew this was the price he'd pay. The price for the sea itself. So when his crew completes another standard loot and pillage from a merchant ship, he allows his men a bit of fun. He liked to give them an audience, rounding up those who didn't fall victim to the blade during battle, and forcing them to beg for their lives. To prove how much they really wanted to live. Alistair had ruled the sea for some years now. Killed thousands, maybe tens of thousands. Destroyed hundreds, maybe thousands of vessels. And yet, each feeble human was all the same. There was not one man he threatened that didn't beg for their lives with all they had in them when faced with the wrong end of the sword. Each feeble human was always the same. Or so he thought. And yet, he also thought that this would be a standard job. A treat for his men after a night of good work. But this particular survivor, the one with long white hair and dead-looking eyes... He wasn't a merchant. He couldn't have been. More importantly, there was no hesitancy when Alistair asked the fairly built man whether he wanted to live, and the man replied with a simple no.

*COMPLETELY REWRITTEN AND RE-UPLOADED AS OF SEPTEMBER 19, 2026! Come read the new version!* Parker Teal doesn't much like people, and they don't really like him. His pheromones are intimidating, he's a bit of a wet blanket, and his hard exterior makes him unapproachable. To his parents' dismay, he vehemently denies his future inheritance of his father's multimillion dollar company, and wants to forge his own path free from their expectations. To get away from his parents and save some money, he snatched up the job offered to him of Resident Advisor of an Alpha dorm at college. Dean Silver is a member of a bloodline afflicted by what he calls the 'family curse'- wherein each Silver is born an Alpha, but goes through a seven-week heat period after they turn twenty-two. Dean is freshly twenty-two, but under the impression that he would be spared from this curse (if only because of his disgust at the mere thought of another Alpha touching him like that). But when his heat hits with no warning, and he's found by his asshole Resident Advisor Parker, he quickly finds that Parker and his pheromones are the only things that don't inspire fear within him while he's in this state. As Parker helps Dean through his heat period, will the two of them continue to be at odds, or will they grow closer than they ever anticipated? I bet you can guess! Surprise! I still suck at descriptions. I've also added an Alpha x Beta side-couple in this new version. ;) Omegaverse AU, but no shapeshifting or internal "wolves" or anything like that. Alternating POVs, third-person.

It was truly a god forsaken dare. If anyone asked Knox why he started this entire new identity to mess with the biggest thorn in his ass, his captain, Victor Wallace, he would tell anyone that it had been a sick dare from his roommate. It had been simple and stupid. Create a female profile, befriend the unsuspecting idiot then catfish Wallace for a sick laugh. It was supposed to be a one-time thing, get Wallace vulnerable, in love with his female version, then expose him and break his cold little heart. In summary, mercilessly ruin his life, but Knox didn't expect his childish plan to backfire and ruin everything he knew about himself and Victor Wallace too. He was about to find out to always let sleeping dogs lie. There's always a price to pay for deceit. Will Knox be able to afford it? Read And Find out!

As he contemplates his partner's humanity, he wonders, too, if there could be something more to their partnership. With the case coming to a head between them, hidden secrets - and feelings - threaten to be revealed. Maverick must decide: is Emery human, or just a wolf parading as one?
