Farah was raised like everyone else in the town. That is, raised to fear the forest. There's shadows in there, and within the darkness, monsters writhe. Every now and then, a child goes missing, swallowed up by the shadows and gone forever. Farah was supposed to be one of those children. By some strange miracle, she escapes a certain fate in the darkness of the woods, but it's not until several years later, when a man with striking green eyes is captured from the very forest everyone is wary of, that Farah's past comes back to bite her. There are secrets about the forest no one really knows, secrets about the kingdoms residing there and the beings ruling them. Secrets Farah will be forced to know, for despite everything she tries to do to deny it, she's been claimed and as such destined to be a queen of a place she's been terrified of her entire life.

ONLY 3 CHAPTERS AVAILABLE. (I'm sorry, I know this upsets a lot of people but I signed a contract and I have 0 control over how they choose to distribute the book. If you wish to read the rest you can find it on Babelnovel, thank you to everyone who supported my journey.) The constant pressure to be perfect the tormenting, the name calling...that's what pushed her over the edge. Kate Mauren is the second born daughter to the Alpha of the Midnight Star pack. Her father loathes her for being weak, while her mother starves her in fear that her daughter will never find a mate to take care of her. In school she is ignored, tormented by her own brother for being too book smart and for being weak. The last straw was drawn the moment she laid eyes on the captain of the school's rugby team, the Alpha of the Shadow Valley pack and his rejection was her damning. Kate finds that she no longer has anything to live for, the very thing her mother wanted for her...didn't want her. In an effort to please her family, Kate decides to get rid of herself but Fate has a different plan for her.
