"Why do I have to be special, why can't I just be normal, a bystander?" "Ever since you were born you have never had the choice of being normal, you have always been marked as what you are, and it makes you valuable to many and your choices very few."... It was those words that changed my life, I had always been sheltered. Felt that I was never privileged to have a life of my own, due to ridiculous superstitions of others. But if I was honest with myself, I knew I was different. The way the servants would gaze upon me whenever they could but look away when I met their sight. The luminous glow of my skin that never seemed to go away. And with every passing day I stayed on the grounds, I knew that as my body changed and I was to reach the age, everything was going to change for me.

Copyrighted 2017 *Completed* Highest rankings: #6 in Werewolf #1 in Wolves #3 in Featured He was said to be powerful, the most powerful of them all. A king of kings- a dark king. Complete control. He needed it- thrived on it. He was power, he was dark, and he was beautiful. They say he was a descendant of the first wolves- of shapeshifters so fierce they could kill with barely a glance. He was respected, revered. Feared. The King of the North. And we were the idiots sneaking into his territory. *Not your typical werewolf book* --please reframe from hateful comments directed at me or other readers who enjoy the story. *This book has no sexually mature scenes and is PG-13* *This book has nothing to do with The Game of Thrones, and is not a fanfic of any kind*

On a hunt gone wrong, Rowan is left with limited time to remove a supernatural bond before he falls in love with the one species he was raised to hate. "He lives on land, permanently. How are we supposed to make this work?" Kaerius asked, watching the boy sitting on the sand dunes. "You're not. We're not designed to fall in love with them. You're burdened by this," Laiken replied, sinking under the waves and swimming away, leaving Kaerius to stare at the human he had bonded with, and leaving him alone to make a life-changing decision.
