It was a game I wasn't willing to lose, but all games had accidents and consequences. It takes a broken heart to know how to break a heart.

Dr. Phoebe Thatcher never asked for a destiny steeped in blood. Her only expectation was another quiet night in Frostford's rural hospital-until a half-dead stranger is dragged through her ER doors, torn apart by what looks like an animal attack. He's huge, silent, brutally wounded, and somehow still alive. By morning, the man is gone. By evening, he's standing in her cabin-half naked, half feral, and certain that Phoebe is the only safe place left in the world. Dante doesn't remember who he is. Not the torture. Not the pack war. Not the betrayal that broke him. But he knows two things with bone-deep certainty: someone is hunting him... and Phoebe is his the only one keeping him sane. When wolves descend on her sleepy mountain town, Phoebe realizes she's been dragged into a war she never knew existed. His enemies want her dead, his people want her gone, and Phoebe's childhood friend-a hunter trained to kill things like Dante-would rather see her buried than claimed by a monster. But Phoebe is done being powerless. As Dante's memories return and enemies gather in the shadows, Phoebe must choose between the human life she built... or the wolf who would burn the Appalachians to keep her. He has no name, no past, and no mercy for anyone who threatens what's his. New chapter available daily. Highest Ranking: #1 in #blood 1/03/2026 #1 in #wolf 1/01/2026 #2 in #alpha 12/18/2025

Years before his birth, it was prophesised that his soul would never be whole, that his heart would never beat in rhythm to his other half. Micajah was born with a dark soul, a soul that was corrupt. A soul that was more wolf than human. A soul incomplete. Nothing but an imperfect creation that walks earth. He will never have a true mate. When his turn to rule the wolf kingdom arises, after the death of his mother, he is forced to choose a female that has already been rejected from her true mate. Alongside his rise to the throne, the wolf kingdom begins to tear itself apart. An uprising begins. No one wants a creature, hated by the Moon Goddess herself, to rule. Even if he is the only royal heir by blood. Even if it is what tradition dictates. A male more beast than man, can never yield humanity, let alone love. But humanity can be learnt, and love seizes all - even those with corrupt souls.

[unedited draft] Maya is not a normal she-wolf. Normal she-wolves live among their kind. Normal she-wolves are given their birthright.

A practice in which she is to be chosen at The Gathering as a mate to a fellow male wolf. Though the circumstances of her exile remain a mystery, Maya is given a chance to prove and reflect on what her life has become and maybe the implications of her apparent betrayal are as much a mystery as her mate, Beta Gideon. cover by @abditive Rankings: #4 - shewolf
