The White Wolf's Claim
The world was divided into two kinds of darkness: the familiar, electric hush of the human city, and the ancient, echoing silence of the wild. She lived in the first, clinging to the mundane comfort of lukewarm coffee and predictable routines. She was the half-thing, the one with the human heart, constantly measuring her life against the things she lacked-the strength, the certainty, the ability to shift into something powerful. She was fire held in glass, waiting for the inevitable crack. He lived in the second. He was the darkness that consumed light, a name whispered in fear even by creatures stronger than her. He was the notorious, brutal Alpha, bound by duty and fueled by an obsession he could not name. He was lethal, controlled, and utterly alone, until he saw her. When he finally came for her, tearing her from the safety of her fragile, borrowed life, it was not an invitation-it was a declaration of war. War waged not just against the clans that coveted her unique, dangerous heritage, but against the very nature of her existence. Trapped in a world of teeth, shadows, and savage loyalties, she realized the man who had stolen her was the only one capable of keeping her alive. He saw not the weakness the pack despised, but the raw, untamed force that lay dormant beneath her fair skin. The mating moon was watching. And even as she fought the predator who claimed her, she knew that to survive, she would have to embrace the wolf she was told could never exist. Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction.

Bound To Bea
"No respect for the dead." His words came out in silent whispers, his teeth clenched. A small smile tugged on her lips. "Respect is earned in life, my lord. When a man fails to earn respect in life, it cannot suddenly be bestowed on him simply because he returned to the dust whence he came." "At the very least, Lady Atkins, pretend," he admonished. "Pretend to mourn for your husband! You are a woman in mourning! Grief, sadness, decency is expected of you," he growled, stepping so close to her, his nose almost kissed hers. "Not a low-cut, salacious red dress!" She inched forward, jaw set, until she could feel his warm breath on her skin. "And you are a man whose cousin's widow was only a few minutes ago caught with a man on top of her," she shot back, leaning further in until her lips were nearly brushing his as she searched his gaze. "Anger, rage, fury, is expected of you, my lord... Not jealousy!" * Newly widowed, the sudden death of Beatrice's husband has brought about her freedom from the shackles of a loveless marriage... Or so she thinks. All hope is quickly lost when she discovers her husband's cruelty in disinheriting her and leaving her penniless. But worse than his decision to disinherit her, is his decision to leave her at the mercy of his cousin; Noah, the very handsome Marquess of Camden. TW: This story contains mentions of suicide.
