Ezra is used to performing-polite smiles, perfect posture, the right silence at the right time. It's how you survive being born into a family that treats reputation like religion. But Ezra isn't living that life anymore. She's working nights at a Boston dive bar, taking classes, building something of her own-until a man named Rhett starts showing up at her bar with the kind of attention that doesn't feel like flirting. He watches. He listens. He never explains why he's there. When Ezra is forced back into her family's world for a black-tie benefit, the distance she's worked so hard to keep begins to collapse. And the closer she gets, the clearer it becomes: some families don't just protect their image. They protect their secrets.

*Completed* *Unedited* With every step he took towards me, I took one back until I hit the edge of his bed. A deep growl rumbled from his throat and I tried to make myself smaller in hopes that he would leave me alone. Being a human, I stood no chance against this beast in front of me. He would tear me apart. His muscles rippled with ease from underneath his shirt; his stance towered over me; his eyes colored with darkness; and I knew he was struggling to keep his wolf contained. "Kitten, don't act all scared. This is what you wanted, isn't it? You've always fantasized about what it would be like to be with a beast like me." His hand approached me slowly and then brushed my hip. I gasped. His teeth grazed my neck and I unconsciously leaned my head away, so he could have more room. "Answer me!" he growled. My chest furiously moved up and down as I tried to calm myself. I shook my head. "Well, Kitten, you're MINE. Whether you like it or not." From a very young age, Mae has been told by her father to stay away from werewolves. They were too rough, too dangerous for humans, but she always had a fascination with them. Damon was the Alpha of the Night Bane pack and he was exactly what Mae's father told her he would be - rough and dangerous. *Not my cover art @ Jojoesart
