Alethea Latimer was a proud woman. She felt that she had accomplished quite a bit up to now since her family moved to England from Burgundy, France. She had gone through college, studied archaeology and earned her degree and eventually worked her way up to being one of the finest curators of the London Museum. Of course she did archaeological work as well, it being her main interest, and signed up for excavations when possible.
So when news of the possibly location of the Chalk Garden arose, she decided she just had to sign up. It may end up with her having to use her holiday time, but she felt that it would be worth it. There would be competitive adventurers, but Alethea felt like she had something that others didn't... and she was right.
Then the Heard showed up.
The first few attacks, they were all okay. But eventually, it just got too much for some of them and they left. Except Alethea. Maybe it was her only lack of belief in such things, or perhaps it was her own stubborn nature that refused to let her cave in. So she decided, she would continue on her own. She didn't think it was too impossible. Tricky and at the very least difficult? Perhaps. But it wasn't impossible. Yes, it was possible for her to get her work done without any trouble, whatsoever!
Then, she met Cyrus King.

Chasing Ghosts
Jade Covenington was your average everyday model, well, except for one thing. She was a werewolf, and she had a child. Her daughter was 3 years of age and did not know her father. Now, here is the story of how Jade came to live in the city and have a child with no father. Well, Jade was dating a man back in college, He turned out to be more than she bargained for. She was bitten and turned into a werewolf. Jade was mostly okay with the fact that she was a wolf, she was with the man she loved, things were going good, she had been getting along with her mate till her world basically collapsed in on itself. She accidentally killed an innocent when out hunting due to the fact that the man had pointed a gun at her. She was frozen over his body as the rain poured down her fur. With one swift move, she was running through the rain, away from him, away from the pack, unknowingly carrying the soon to be alphas child and heir. When she did find out, she knew she couldn't go to a hospital, she had to go it alone and knew if she told him he made her come, back and she couldn't. For the next 3 years, she has easily raised her child and enjoyed her freedom, only changing when her wolf forced her to. She didn't want Lyn knowing that life. She always kept a bag packed in case another wolf showed or their was danger. She would jump out the fire escape and run away. However now the pack is under attack and they need their best tracker.(aka Jade) What will happen when Erin finds out about the child when he comes to find her and how will this reconnect them, will they fix what is broken? And Deal with a new suprise That Lycans still exist. This is written by 2 people on a site, but I have permission from said person to post this.Complete

Gifted to the Alpha (SAMPLE) Amazon
Forget what you know about the fairytales of werewolves. There's no such thing as a moon goddess, there's no such thing as mates. Wolves are animals cruel, mean, and ferocious. The law can't touch them. The world leaves them alone. They govern their own. That's what I was thought and so far all has been true. What I didn't know was that my little town had a tradition. The harvest was established to create peace between species, every year a girl is offered to the Alpha. I've gone, and luckily never been selected. My future is bright and my thirst for knowledge wins without doubt. Only, I was gifted to the Alpha, a piece offering given to leave the town alone. Presented to him a slave, gifted to an animal. My mother cried, my sister chastised, while I lied. My future is gone but my family is safe. That's all that matters for today, but tomorrow is another story. So tell me.....What happens when the big bad Alpha grows attached?
