Pearl Blankenship, an autistic investigative journalist, witnesses the end of the world. Before the nuclear fallout can kill her, a mysterious being offers her a choice: come with him or stay on a dying planet Earth. **** Dumuzi, the being who offered, is an Anunnaki: a descendant of humankind's ancient alien creators. It is his mission to wipe out what remains of humanity in a few short weeks, sparing only those with a thirst for knowledge and moral character. After becoming a journalist, Pearl was mocked online, arrested for trespassing, and challenged globally for her conspiracy theories. Two things she knows for a fact: mankind deserves a second chance, and staying on Earth sounds... well, hazardous. She hopes that by getting closer to Dumuzi, she might be able to change his mind about humanity, as he is a councilman with power. But it isn't going to be easy. Communicating? It's difficult for her. And he is cold, wary of humans, and has weeks left to live due to an illness that plagues him. The more time she spends with him, the more his illness accelerates, and the more steamy attractions ignite into something seriously dangerous. The clock is ticking.

▪️FANTASY ROMANCE▪️ "I didn't know that I had the right to say your name." "You don't and yet..." The Orc King's words trailed off, his breath coming out in a rough pant. I found myself extremely curious about what he was going to say, so I bravely tried to get him to continue. "And yet?" I probed. "And yet, I find myself intrigued about what it would sound like coming from that insolent mouth of yours." **** Izara was not very happy to find out that she was to be sent to the Orc King as tribute, an apology for something her brother did. Not being one to allow fate to dictate her life, she figured that she could make the most of it. Having always been curious about the Orcs, she is eager to live among them. King Baldur, however, does not share her enthusiasm, finding humans to be selfish and untrustworthy. He does not hold back, and uses every available opportunity to remind her of such. Unfortunately for him, Izara sees this as a challenge and vows to prove her worth. When an incident in the forest leaves King Baldur seriously injured, he quickly realises that he misjudged Izara and even finds himself becoming attracted to her in ways that he never anticipated. There is only one problem though, the Orc King isn't called Baldur the Butcher for nothing. Can he find it in himself to lower his guard around Izara or will she become the next victim of his blade? 🔅Rated R: Contains thematic issues, adult language, MATURE sexual content, violence and possible triggers. ------------------------------------------------- Cover Photo: Edited by @KimberlyTanithMarie using an image generated from Midjourney © All rights reserved 2023 I DO NOT consent to my story being translated, copied or otherwise reproduced by anyone.

I couldn't stop my eyes as they wandered around his body, looking at each and every curve and line. Though what caught my interest was his wolf mark, one that every wolf has. His was a intricate design on his bicep that I was itching to touch. It went perfectly with his tanish skin and blonde hair. He was like a Roman $ex God, and I wouldn't mind "praying" to him, any day. "Eva,'' I looked up at Will's face, but my eyes decided to do they're own thing and traveled down his muscular body, eventually landing on his abs. God! They don't even deserve to be called abs. They're more like a diamond washboard, that I feel tempted to wash my clothes on! Someone bring me the Downy! His eyes turned a few shades darker then, his skin so close to mine that the heat radiated between our bodies. He moved closer, his crystal blue eyes a midnight blue, warming me to my core. He wanted me just as badly as I wanted him. This was a battle between Alphas, who will dominate? Game on Mr. Sexy Piece of A$s.
