When I was a child, I used to think the monsters Mom used to tell me in her fairytale stories were scary. But now that I've seen the real world, I've realized humans are much scarier. There's an evil king turning innocent people into demons, villages literally dying from lack of resources, and the only way to solve this is an eighteen year old girl who doesn't even know her real identity yet. Well, that's going to change real soon because unless the world wants an army of controlled demons ruling the world, someone's got to stand up. Cover: @LadySnowdrop [HIATUS]

A sensitivity reader (someone who goes through your manuscript and assesses representations in your work) identified a number of issues surrounding the Filipino representation in BTM.

Twenty years later, it's time for an heir to take the throne and time for a new ruler to lead the wolves. It is time for a new beginning. It is time for a new King and Queen to rise. _____________________________________ They said I wasn't ready. They said I wasn't smart nor strong enough to lead as Queen. The weight of our world was on my shoulders and it was slowly killing me. I was hated before I had even begun. What I didn't know was what the future held: a mate. A king to rule beside me. Little did I know that mate would be the most feared man to walk our grounds. They feared him and now they will fear us. I am the Queen and he is my king: The Lycan. And together, we will rule.

I gasped out as he suddenly pushed me up against the wall of his house roughly. His large hands gripped me by my waist tightly and I winced at the feeling of his fingertips digging into my skin. There would definitely be bruises there tomorrow... I stared up into Alexander's eyes, noticing how dark his eyes seemed to be. His wolf was surfacing and that meant no good for me. Oddly enough for me, my wolf pushed at me to let her surface as well. I held head back, keeping my gaze on Alexander. He brought his head down and I let out a gasp as he placed his head in the crook of my neck and inhaled. "You're mine." He growled against my skin, his growl reverberating through my body and shaking me to the core. *** Aurora 'Rory' Jackson was the normal werewolf. She had a great family, a crazy best friend, and was looking forward to having a normal future. Apparently, that wasn't her destiny.

Trying to adapt to academy life seems to be harder than she thought possible with the fact that she just can't seem to stop bumping into Lycan Alexander Greymon, a teacher at the academy. Trying to ignore obvious feelings for him and balancing her schoolwork seemed to be the hardest task in the world to her. Oh, how she wished she could be back home...
