"Bless me, Father... for I have sinned.." "All have sinned," came a soft voice from behind the caged window. "Observe the sacrament of confession that you may be absolved of your transgressions." I shook my head vigorously, "Are you nervous, father?" "I have no reason to be, sir and neither do you. Whatever is said will remain between you and I and God the Father." I clasped my hands together. "My sin is great. These hands..." I raised them to the window, bringing them within full view of the priest. "..they are stained with blood that is not my own." The priest gulped; I heard the whistling of his lungs as he drew in a deep breath. He was definitely an older man... an old man who's heart must to be too weak to absorb the darkness of my own. "Then whose blood is it?" " I have killed a man, Father." I could hear Alice screaming in the back of my head, feel the weight of the wooden baseball bat that I had once gripped in both hands and hear the crunching of bone with each swing. I covered my face with my hands and tried to will the memories away. "I killed a man a few hours ago, Father and his body is lying on my living room floor. There is no redemption for me." A video tape, a ransom letter taped to two manicured, dismembered fingers and 72 hours. Damian Crusoe's clock is ticking. Will he find he find his wife? Will he lose her? Or are both scenarios impossible without the other...

In order to protect her brother, she'll have to find him. In order to do that she'll need to dive into their mutual past. It won't be easy digging up all that she's buried but if there's one thing she can never forget, it's that she owes him that much.

Only sample chps. Annabelle finds out that she is not the real daughter of the Alpha at her werewolf pack. As the world she knows comes collapsing down, she has to hide from the Demon Lord who is determined to find her. Will the Werewolf King yield to the Demon Lord's ultimatum and give her to the enemy or will she be the cause of a looming war between the two species? More importantly, who is Belle and what does the Demon Lord want with her? Belle's meeting with the Werewolf King does not go very well, she finds him to be an arrogant bastard! Worse still, he wants nothing to do with her. "Why do I feel you're my mate? What have you done to me? "bellowed the King. "How do you know I am not your mate?" I asked, growling in frustration. I did not want to be his mate any more than he wanted me to be his, but his cocky attitude was getting to me. "Because you are not even a werewolf," he grunted, his black irises shimmering dangerously. "You're a liar," I screamed not caring that I was talking to the most lethal creature in the world. He roared in laughter, the sound of which irritated the hell out of me. Aargh! How I wanted to rip his heart out even as I wanted to glue my body to his and stay there forever, basking in his scent. I was so mad that I wanted to show him how wrong he was. Soon, he would be sorry, he would kneel and beg for my forgiveness. The mental image of him on his knees made my lips twitch with amusement. I started phasing out to my wolf form, and when I stood in all my glory, I prowled and preened to show off my beautiful fur. He laughed even harder. I simply wanted to kill him. Yes, my wolf was small, but it existed. Why the hell wasn't he on his knees then? "As I said, you're not a werewolf," he repeated. Huh, what did he mean by that?
