William is a fifteen year old, cheeky, spoilt brat in need of discipline. Based in Scotland the boy is sent by his father, Commodis to guard the farm from rumoured beasts whom lurk from beyond the mountains. A role the boy is reluctant to take, the question is... Does he take his job seriously? Or does he find it an opportunity to play possum with his working family.
Based on the legend 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf' this fable is a mere attempt to resurrect the ancient story with my own dash of action and pinch of horror.

The Beta and his mate
COMPLETED - (book 2) Updated version now available on Amazon Kindle and Kindle Unlimited with an extra bonus chapter at the end! "I stood there for a second, stunned at the fact that a pack wolf had gotten in between two fighting rogues, but when I took in my first deep breath after the adrenaline had wore off I realised why. He was my mate. Crap. I stared at him for a second, taking in the huge grey wolf that was my mate before I turned tail and ran as fast as my injured leg would let me. It had already starting to heal but not enough for me to put all my weight on it. I quickly turned around to to make sure the guy hadn't caught up with me but frowned slightly when I saw that he hadn't even moved an inch from where I left him. That was weird, I thought pack wolves were all about finding their mates" ---- Blaine has lived a hard life, after all being born a rouge isn't easy, but she's getting by.

Forget Me Not. [Book 1 of Eodum Series]
The story tells how a little girl did everything she can to save her Village from the wolf, but when her Guardian/Witch of the Village comes up with a potion to turn the wolf human (again), they believe everything to go right again, but the potion only turns the beast slightly humane. He still has command over some supernatural abilities, and Madiline (the main female character) takes the situation into her own hands by sacrificing herself. In this story there is a series of Folk tales put into this script that goes along with the story line, for example The Boy Who Cried, "Wolf," is one, and oddly enough Little Red Riding Hood, because oddly enough Madiline wears her Red Hood since she was young. But either way, I hope you check it out and enjoy. Thanks! [Book 1 of Wolf Series]Complete
