Struggling to sell a single painting and drowning in student debt, Marisol Reyes, a fiercely independent but lonely artist in modern-day Chicago, is just about ready to give up on her dreams. When a mysterious storm crashes through her studio, she's pulled-brushes and all-into a world of primal beauty, where men can transform at will to different animals, cities are carved from stone and bone, and technology is nothing more than a fantasy. In this untamed realm centered around women and powered by instinct, Marisol finds herself at the center of the beastmen tribes. With no phone, no way home, and no clue how to survive in a matriarchal society where women must take multiple male consorts to stay protected, Marisol must quickly adapt-or risk becoming prey. Thrust into the spotlight, she must navigate between aggressive females, obsessive men, and unexpected desire. Armed with nothing but her creativity, courage, and the heart she wears on her sleeve, Marisol begins to uncover her place in this wild world. Maybe she doesn't need to return home after all... maybe she was meant to paint a new life here.

A male who have lived for centuries, a female who survived for twenty years. *** When Annabelle Fallon ran away from her abusive 'mate', following only her instincts for directions, she got lost and ended up in the most feared territory of the supernatural world. What would she do when the infamous Pack Leader Renato Athanasios claims that she is his mate? Having lived alone for centuries, Renato had given up in the hopes of ever finding his mate. But when he found out that he is blessed with a vulnerable, weak and fragile mate, what would he do? With a horrible past catching up to them, Annabelle has to learn to trust again and Renato have to mend the broken pieces of her heart and soul - or doom themselves. ***** Do not read if you're not a fan of cliches. But its not THAT cliche though, I promise, kind of *cheeky grin* VERY SLOW UPDATES
