Nate Winters has spent most of his life running-hiding from a past he can't fully remember, and from the organization that experimented on him as a child. Now 21, he's learned to blend in, living a quiet life on the surface. But shadows have a way of following you, and Nate's gift-control over shadows-makes him both powerful and dangerous. When he meets someone who sees past his carefully constructed walls, Nate is forced to confront what he's been running from, and what he's willing to risk for love. Every secret, every hidden power, could be the thing that gets him caught-or the thing that saves him. In a world where trust is a luxury and survival is never guaranteed, Nate must decide: can he embrace the darkness within himself-and the light of someone who cares enough to stay by his side? Author's Note: These stories have been ideas I've held in my mind for a long time, and it has taken me a lot of courage to finally bring them to life here on Wattpad. I'm so excited to share the first book of this series with you, and I hope you enjoy following Nate, the other survivors, and their journeys as much as I've loved creating them. Thank you for joining me in The Hidden!

After two years in an abusive relationship, Rowan Hale escapes with nothing but scars and a fragile hope for freedom. Filing a report brings him face-to-face with Detective Dante Cross, a man with a cold reputation and shadows of his own. Rowan is supposed to be just another case. But Dante can't look away, not when Rowan flinches at every sound, not when his pain runs deeper than bruises. Protection turns into something neither of them can deny, even as danger circles closer. Because Rowan's past isn't finished with him. And Dante will burn every law he's ever sworn to uphold if that's what it takes to keep him safe.

Alone. Naked. Cold. Covered in blood that is just as likely to be mine as someone else's. I don't know who I am, where I am, or what I'm running from. All I get are flashes, snippets of dark shadows, sneering faces. Pain always follows these nightmares, these memories. I was found, taken in, but I have no way of knowing if I only escaped the frying pan just to jump into the fire. I don't understand these people, these wolves. They don't understand me, either. Our words mean nothing to each other, they're no more than sounds. We use gestures, facial expressions, body language like the beasts we seem to be. I can only pray these beasts are not the same ones I'm running from. -This story has depictions of violence, depression, panic attacks, gore.

When the Silver Hallow Pack is massacred under the Blood Moon, the youngest omega, Amarus, dies protecting the only family he's ever known. But death doesn't claim him, the Moon Goddess does. Reborn beneath her light and marked by her silver crescent, Amarus wakes alone, stripped of a pack and haunted by memories that ache like open wounds. Wandering through forbidden lands, he's captured by Kaelen, the formidable Alpha of the Obsidian Fang Pack, a leader known for his discipline and detachment. To Kaelen, Amarus is just another rogue trespasser, until a single touch ignites the mark on Amarus's chest and binds their fates under the same moon. In a world where pack hierarchy forbids an Alpha from loving an Omega, and prophecy whispers of a wolf chosen by the Goddess herself, Kaelen and Amarus must navigate loyalty, prejudice, and the fragile thread of a forbidden bond. As the Moon Goddess watches, past wounds resurface and old enemies stir. The truth of Amarus's mark may not only change the fate of the packs, it may rewrite the laws of the moon itself.
