"Do you know what to do, Amunet?" A voice as sweet as silk whispered into the young girl's ear. Amunet didn't look over her shoulder, but shifted uncomfortably on her bare feet before nodding her head. A soft hand touched her back and urged her forward. All eyes turned towards the girl dressed in transparent linen with her dark hair tumbling down her back and her violet eyes lined by kohl. Every movement caused the jewels on her wrists and ankles to dangle and shimmer in the light. She raised her head and found the Pharaoh's transfixed stare. His jade eyes narrowed in on hers and the room became still and silent. Amunet bowed and, at the pluck of a harp string, began to dance. --- DISCLAIMER: this story is NOT historically accurate. It does not take place in any real time period and therefore there will be inaccuracies and areas that don't make sense in the context of "ancient Egypt." CONTENT WARNING: though this story is not explicit (sexual or otherwise), it does mention more mature themes that may be troubling to some readers, including but not limited to forced prostitution and miscarriage. cover by @Addietay

He is twisting his skull ring around and around on his finger. Finally, he holds out his hand, gesturing for me to take it. "Come with me."

The agency mold her into the perfect killing machine, and at 19 she is no longer the shy girl that was snatched away from her uncomplicated life, but a ruthless killer who will stop at nothing to complete whatever mission she is on.

What will happen once Faith comes face to face with Jace?

Lilia and her sister are running. They were disowned by their parents for being 'human-bound', the weaker version of a werewolf. Human-bound werewolves are slaves, servants, the ones that work for the Pack till death. When threatened with an eviction and severe punishment unless they came up with cash fast. Or, instead of money, Lilia became the Alpha's concubine. This isn't something she wants to do. So they ran. But on the run, they become 'rogues', and become fair game for any and all werewolves who might decide they'd like to own them as property. The only idea they have is to escape to Panama, the only Pack that is neutral, the only Pack that will possibly offer them safety. What will they do though, when they come into the Southern Pack land by mistake, and find themselves face to face with the Alpha and his brother, the Beta, of the Southern Pack?
