Now, a darkness approaches that threatens her small life, and being the weakest chimera, she fears that her life would end sooner than expected.

A COURT OF SHIFTERS AND SECRETS
Finding out that your parents, the people that raised you your whole life, weren't your actual parents was hard. Being told at the ripe ol' age of eighteen that you're the last living member from an Ancient Shifter line, the one responsible for creating the First Shifters, was inconceivable. Especially when a group of assassins were on their way to exterminate me simply for just existing. Kidnapped from my bed by three extremely stunning and grumpy Alphas, and forced to attend a special Shifter University located in the middle of nowhere, I have to navigate an unfamiliar and unknown secreted world while simultaneously trying avoiding those who want to use my lineage to enact an age-old curse. Join Nova Nyx as she's dragged into a world full of Shifters, Secrets, and Startling Surprises. ~~~ "Mates?" I repeated owlishly, blinking rapidly at the one worded bomb they just dropped on me "What are Mates?" Instead of answering my question, they just stared back at me in silence, arms crossed over their broad chests. I ignored their silence, choosing to focus on second part of their sentence. "And you're telling me I have three of them?" I gawked "How many are you supposed to get? I can barely handle myself and my life at this point and you want me to worry about three other people?" Of course the most annoying man I've ever met smirked at my bafflement. "I don't think it'll be such a hardship for you" he said, arrogance lacing his tone "After all, I hear these three Mates of yours are very self-sufficient." "Don't forget extremely gorgeous" his Buffon of a friend chimed in, winking at me "That's a plus for you Princess." "One," the third one growled out at me, finally speaking up and adding subsistence to the conversation, startling the banter from the other two "You're only supposed to be blessed with one Mate in your entire lifetime."Complete

Chimera
He's been considered exotic or a freak depending on your viewpoint. After years of fighting he has taken a job to help shape up the next generation. One of his students catches his eye. (the first few pages are from Alex's viewpoint then the rest is from Tyler's viewpoint. Changed up to better get into the story.) Excerpt: As for my background, I was born to a rogue mother. No I don't know who my father is, don't bother asking. I spent the years up till I was eighteen bouncing all over the country and learning all kinds of things. I joined the human military where I spent the next eight years. Don't ask what I did it's classified and you aren't cleared for that. Upon discharge I went to work for the High Lycan council. I can't talk about my work their either, so don't ask. The last three years I've just been relaxing, a friend of a friend came to me offered me this position and told me that their pilot school was going to be shut down if they couldn't get all you hoodlums reigned in. I decided it might be fun so here I am." I looked around the assembly and saw a lot of attentive faces. No doubt wondering if I was lying or not. "On what I am. The rumors don't lie, I am a Chimera." the entire room seemed to gasp. I sighed. I hated having to announce that but if I didn't I got all kinds of looks and questions best to have it out at the beginning. "For those of you who don't know the truth of what that is. A chimera in mythology is a creature that is a hybrid. In medical terms it is someone or something that has a genetic duality. There's something to ask Mr Norris about in biology tomorrow." I heard a few laughs and giggles. "For my part I am called Chimera because I have more than one full shape to shift into and can blend them at will. It makes me very powerful and no I'm not going to show you." I heard someone say 'aw man. That'd be cool.'Complete
