But when the two are forced to go on the run together, Elijah's healing wounds are opened, and he realises that Lyca Corp. took more than his childhood. ⊳⊱ ♕ ⊰⊲ The moment Elijah escaped from the lab where he unwillingly spent the past thirteen years of his life, he planned to live up to his promise: he'd find Haru, the only thing that kept him sane growing up.

After chasing his next lead, however, Elijah accidentally rescues Zoe, a journalist locked in his target's trunk. He has no choice but to bring her and her roommate, Jake, along with him as he flees the city to avoid capture. But as he continues his search, Elijah struggles with the scars Lyca Corp. burned into him. He has no idea who or what he is; he doesn't understand the power raging inside his bodyーthe power Lyca Corp. desperately tried to pry from him. Why does he have an insatiable bloodlust? What does the whispering voice inside his head want? And why does he feel as though a huge part of him has been torn away? ❅ LGBTQ couples ❅ Grump x Sunshine ❅ Dystopian Urban Fantasy ❅ Word Count: 137,000 ─────────────────────────────────── ✵ Numenverse year: 1335 **April 2024 Editor's Pick **#3 in Werewolf 5/4/2024 **#1 in GayRomance 5/4/2024 **#12 in Werewolf 31/5/2025 2023-2025 © Tate Csernis | | Series is exclusive to Wattpad

|| featured @newlywrittenbooks 29/12/2022. *** Michelle Thompson, the eighteen-year-old workaholic is bent on earning her boss's attention at all costs. Though not pushy or... flirty, she's soaked in solid sex dreams which gets worse with each passing day. Slowly and unnoticeably, she develops partial-obsessive tendencies; one that kept her dwindling in the thoughts of having sex with him-even as a virgin! Forgoing his harsh countenance, overly exaggerated reactions, she envisions Charles in the portrait of cold-nineteenth century men that spew flavors of love to their lovers-in the door. And Charles Jackson, built on grace and glamor, could win a medal in egocentrism, pride, rudeness, malevolence, prudishness and of course, beauty! Lurking in the shadows of her emotions and fated to be bewitched by perfect blue eyes that defied everything morality, she might discover that Charles Jackson, heir to Jackson Companies PLC and CED of Westland Airlines was truly born of STONE and FROST. And worse, everything that she believed might just be a lie! ••• Yo guys, quick message.

I'll be leaving updates about rewritten chapters in the first page of the book, here on Wattapad.
