"Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven" - John Milton, 'Paradise Lost' When the virus came, it infected the whole world in less than a month. Sixteen year old Hazel Williams, and her dog, Azrael, a Siberian Husky, lived two years in the apocalypse and still counting. They endured canned goods and slept in abandoned houses. During the day, they fought zombies. Only the zombies in their world weren't the dead who came back to life. They were living people who acted like the dead. Living this way for two years, Hazel thought they were the only non-zombie left on earth. She was about to be proved wrong. Could Hazel survive through annoying jerks, airhead cheerleaders, and super yucky zombies? And could there really be a cure for the pandemic? Well, she's about to find out. And its not going to be pretty. [There is another story included inside BSTZ, and that's OZTS, or Once Zombie Twice Shy. Its more darker and gory than BSTZ.] #SHTF All Rights Reserved. ©TWDposter

The pandemic was just the beginning. After an unknown virus sweeps across the globe, Aurora and two other survivors seek out safety in a bomb shelter with enough supplies to last a few years. Just as she starts to adapt to her new way of life, she is suddenly abducted by those responsible for introducing the disease, and is taken farther from home than she's ever been before. She doesn't know what they want from her, but she soon discovers the truth: about her captors, the universe, and who she really is--a reality that leaves her breathless.

When you are a child in the werewolf community you are hidden away from the pack. This is to save the family embarrassment, in case the child turns out to be a Lunrea or a child without the moon. These children are either killed or sent away in secret to serve a Alpha of another pack. Aurelia was one of these children. The Alpha knows her as 23, while the Alpha's son knows her as mate. Sneak peak *Baffled by where the light was coming from, I sat up in my bed and came face to face with a glowing, shirtless, confused-looking Grayson. *Something caught my eyes suddenly and I stopped in my tracks. I felt my heart sink at the sight that laid before me crumbled in the snow. Even I was not in my right state of mind, I recognized how serious the situation was in front of me. "Benedick, Caesar, Beatrice! Come quickly I screamed!" *Cold tile floor, a sickening thud, a door flying open. *"Hello," the boy said, breaking the silence of the snow covered woods. He turned to look in my direction. His green eyes seemed to glow ever so slightly in the dimly lit forest . "I know you're there. The spirts told me you were coming, although I don't think I was expecting you so soon. Come out, we have much to talk about." *"I killed them they are dead because of me!" she cried. "Mate!" he growled. * Look I know it sounds impossible, and I thought it was a dream at first. Until... well that's another story. A story that I think I need to tell you, so listen closely." *The second was Alpha Luka. He looked so much like Grayson it was hard for me to look away from him. What would he do to me right now if he knew that I was not only his precious son's mate, but I had also knocked him out and he was laying on the floor a couple of doors down? * "I relive that night and days leading up to it over and over again in my nightmares. But for you, I will relive it one more time."
