1986 was the year of the Fire Tiger. Less babies were born around that period because few wanted to risk having a tigress. Folklore has it that a tiger daughter brings ill luck to her family and will possibly jinx her husband. So frightening is a tiger woman that we are banned from entering the bedroom of a newly married couple or the bedroom of an expectant mother. Mothers scare their children into good behavior with threats of Tiger Great-Auntie coming for them.
Here, then, is my journey to find fang and claw in a world that wants me tamed.

Singed - My demon
A happy childhood, a so-so adolescence. Then adulthood arrived, and everything went to hell. And by everything, I mean it. Grown-up life is truly a wonderful, dazzling adventure! A job that drains your soul, stripping away any will to live while fueling a more or less justified homicidal instinct; depression knocking at the door with a lovely bouquet of red roses; and, last but not least, the remnants of a social life buried somewhere under my shoes. Not the ones I'm wearing now; those are slippers, big difference. I mean the other ones. The ones in the cabinet that I haven't touched in five years. Love can be destructive. It catches you, ensnares you, devours you, and if you're unlucky enough, it leaves you standing in nothing but your underwear before reducing you to ashes. I had made peace with my "and she lived single, forever unhappy but safe" fate. A house, one, four, eight, maybe twenty cats-to meet expectations-and a future as flat as a heart monitor that's given up the ghost. No joys, minimal suffering, because there's only so much a heart can take before it calls it quits. And honestly? Fuck it, I'd been through enough. ... But he changed everything. In the worst, most terrifying way possible. From this abyss, I may never climb back out.

Hi. I'm a human. My name is Kyah and every year maidens are randomly selected. And it's a mandatory thing! You have to abide by the rules and laws or face the consequences. Which is prison. You know that film 'The Hunger Games'? It's like they're reaping! Though it's called the maidens selection! And we don't fight to the death. No, don't be silly! It's to be put up for auction for shifters to buy for breeding. That's right. BREEDING! (@belreadsnowwrites Thank you for the new cover)Complete
Ire of the Moon
The gods have always been such fickle beings. They carry with them unseen expectations and desires, yet they expect perfection from the mortals over which they rule. How would you manage, then, if a god were to set its sights on you and you alone? Could you run? Hide? Or would their fury be inevitable? How do you avoid the rage of something so mysterious and divine? Some say the gods have limits. That if you did not cross into the light of the moon, that she couldn't see you. Simply hide yourself away each night, and the moon would never find you. There was even a night, at least once a month, where the moon would be blind, and you could tread freely through the night. Of course, nothing is certain in the realm of the gods. Note: This story contains human gore and animal death through hunting. These sections are brief, but those who are sensitive to either should use discretion.Complete

When my life is torn apart and destroyed I soon figure out who I am and there is no stopping my revenge. Our world as we know it is about to change and it's all up to me whether it changes for the better or worse. If I let the greater evil get me our world is over but I must find my strength and courage to over come all the trials I face. Because not only am I an E-Psych but I have every power my people have ever known.Complete
