25 parts Ongoing Mature
Mirabel Rhodes lived a life in a boarding school that was situated under the ground. Never had she seen a ray of sun or a twinkle of stars but only heard about a world that existed above them in books. Her foster family prepared her and hundreds of girls for a deal that they were never told about. When she turned sixteen, they opened them for sale to the scientists and werewolves for experiments. Afraid, she took the chance that she believed was necessary to save herself and someday them, even if it could end her life. She ran away far and clueless until she accidentally trespassed the territory of Blood Moon pack. Lucky for Mira, the Alpha of the pack was on a run before pack warriors could find and kill her for a rogue. He took her to the packhouse, treated her wounds and gave her space to start a new life. For Alpha Maximus, she should have been a recovery case, but she was more than that. Mateless for a decade, he couldn't understand why he was getting attracted toward a barely adult human. She made him and his wolf feel things that they never experienced before. For two years, he had been in the shade until the night came to answer his confusion. His suspicion turned into reality when he smelt her and found out she was his mate. A human for a mate, but that wasn't the issue, the issue was mating season and him being on heat. Guess what could make her run away from the generous Alpha and turn him into a cruel, closed-off brute? And how would he react when secrets would unveil, truth start to unfold and attraction turn into a feral obsession?

But through the chaos, he found love in Dhana, a fellow werewolf who gave him a reason to live. Together, they built a life in the Western Zone-until food shortages ignited desperation and violence. When the flesh deliveries to the Western Zone stop, the werewolf community begins to fracture. Starving and frenzied, some go rogue, transforming into uncontrollable beasts. Among them is Dhana, who joins a group of rebels rampaging against Central, the city's ruling zone. Arsenio's world is shattered when he hears that Dhana has been arrested.

At 37, Cambry Keller has spent her entire life feeling as if something was just a bit... off. Her job, her relationships, her home-all perfectly ordinary, yet there was always a nagging feeling deep within her that she was meant for something more, something extraordinary. But nothing ever changed, and soon, she resigned herself to the quiet monotony of her life. Until the fall after she turned 37.

Farrah asked in a low voice, still clutching the outfit close to her body. Isen tapped a long nail against his hard jaw, trying to figure out an appropriate response to her question. He eventually shrugged, shaking his head like it wasn't important. "I have been here ever since the Purification." He glanced up at the starry sky, "Things are much more different down here..."} xxx No human expected their demise would arrive from the heavens, disguised in a bright, foreign blue light that instantly killed billions.
