•FEATURED STORY ON 3 OFFICIAL PROFILES OF WATTPAD• Alacris Valencia had always lived a perfect life. Aadolf Cadman had lived anything but.

It really brings out your eyes."~~

He hissed as the alcohol touched his bleeding wound and he grabbed my hand. His touch ignited a flame and I knew that later I might have to treat myself for burns. "I'm sorry, did that hurt?" I asked, softly. I tried to calm my breathing as I did so, he was so close. The years that I spent staying away from his kind weren't paying off. "No," He retorted sarcastically, still holding onto my hand. "I hissed because I'm a snake. Of course that hurt, pumpkin." His comment awakened several buried memories, but I ignored them and continued to work on his wound. "Could you please let go of my hand now?" I muttered. He smirked and shook his head. "Do I scare you?" he asked, completely ignoring my question. Even though he did scare me, he scared me completely biscuit-less, I rose my head up and shook my light brown waves. "Absolutely, not." ************************ Gemma Reynolds is an an overworked nurse and probably one of the most innocent and pure people you will ever meet. Her life consists of a simple and constant routine, wake up early, workout, go to work, eat , sleep and listen to her mother criticize her about not having a boyfriend or husband. She has always been hidden in the shadows and even in high school she preferred to stay away from anyone living or breathing, especially Mr. Wyatt Evans. When Wyatt comes into the hospital battered, bruised and bleeding, one night, Gemma is to take care of him. Through several long nights at the hospital, dangerous hide outs and intricate explanations, Gemma figures out that there is more to life than her simple routine and maybe nursing the bad boy isn't as bad as it seems.

Luring him into a dark corner and planning to give the kiss of his lifetime, she gave it all. A kissed that took both of their breath away. The kiss led to an almost fairytale ending. Everything was going smoothly.... except she didn't kiss the Beta of the Stonewall Pack. Mary had accidentally snogged the most eligible bachelor that all unmated female werewolves have been pining for---Alpha Ryker of the Stonewall Pack.

Mason is the Beta of his pack. All he grew up knowing was stories of the legends of his pack and stories told by his ancestors about mates. Mates are like a shorter word for soul mate. He wasn't too fond of the word or the meaning but at the end of the day, his mystery mate was always the one for him. At the topic of mates, he shoved it away.

But on top of all that, he finds out the secrets he never knew that blew around him every single day of his life. The kinds of secrets that make your stomach drop and your heart beat quicken. The kind of secrets that you wish you never heard. The kind of secrets that you wish you didn't have to deal with. You know of all the stories when a man fell in love with a woman.

Only he didn't know that until he met her. °~°~°~°~°~°~° Author here!* There is some cursing here and there but I reassure you, there isn't a lot. It does not contain any of *those* scenes if you get what I mean. I try my best to make it suitable for more younger audiences. There are some emotional chapters though. Regardless, it is worth it. I appreciate each and every one of you! (I will try to give feedback when I can! I love comments!) If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. I am in no way, shape, or form, annoyed by it.

Alice is twenty-four, far old enough to know that a change of scenery can't repair the cracks in a relationship long strained. But when her lover insists on a trip to a remote cabin to get away and recharge, Alice agrees... and discovers that among the beasts of the forest, there is one that shouldn't exist and yet does: a wolf that changes into a man and a man who changes into a wolf. He's savage, suspicious, and feral. And he's as undeniably interested in her as she is in him... Wolf's Wife is an erotic paranormal romance. This is the complete and full version, NOT a sample. It's just very short compared to its sequels.
