A walk of shame leads me to my death.
My death leads me to the Underworld.
The underworld leads me to my eternal punishment.
My eternal punishment leads me to slavery.
Slavery leads me to his wife, Persephone.
Persephone leads me to Him.
Hades, the one with whom I shamefully fall in love.
The one who leads me to sin.
A godly sin;
A mortal soul and god of the underworld.
A toxic affair.
A crime.

"You're not just a mortal, Omaira," he breathes, his hot breath fans my very delicate ghostly skin, "you're my mortal, you're mine."
Guilt spreads all over me for a while as I think of Persephone, the one who sees me as more than a slave. The one who sees me as a friend.
But staying close to me, body entwined with mine in his very own bed. Where no one except for his wife has ever been, is Hades, the one who I love and adore. The one who is being betrayed, the one who deserves love, my love.
"Hmm," I smile with closed eyes, "I am yours. I love you, Hades."
And then, just when I am getting pretty comfortable loving and being loved, someone clears their throat.

C41 was taught to fight and never trust anyone but a select few. But in order to leave prison, he might have to work with those who can break him.
*****
Inmate C41 is the youngest registered "feral" shapeshifter -- someone unable to control his animal urges and aggressions. When he turns eighteen he is transferred to the Adult Feral Rehabilitation Center in Scotland, where he meets a mysterious American government agent who endlessly probes him with questions. C41 does the only thing he thinks will help him survive - he lies. And that starts a chain of events that will either end in a prison break or a life of torture.
