Paranormal
I stand in the middle of my room as Egon watches me closely from the door. My clothes are torn, a good chunk of my shirt gone exposing the healing gash in my stomach while dried blood paints my whole face. "You are not going back out there." "You going to stop me?" I growl. He leans off the door. "If I have to." Narrowing my eyes at him I take a step forward. "Don't make me kill you." He straightens up, "my words exactly." Mira is a thousand year old demon living amongst humans in a town run by demon boss Egon. In exchange for her living expenses she helps him run the town of Synn Gate. Especially when it comes to the strict night curfew for all the humans. The moment its seven o'clock all houses best be locked and all children better be inside. If anyone is out after dark there is little chance they will see the sun the next morning. There are many rules in the town, but the top five are: Don't disrespect Egon, Don't make Mira angry, Obey the curfew, Never tell outsiders about Synn Gate, and Never enter the tunnel. Violation of these rules will lead to death. Trouble within the town has always come from the tunnel, but now the trouble is with a pack of werewolves. Nothing Egon and Mira can't handle, if that's was the only problem. An ancient darkness has come to Synn Gate, staining the small town in an even darker shade of red. A darkness so old, and murderous that no one is safe anymore. Not even Mira.

When the Cat's Away, the Mice Will Play. Except in my case, the "cat" is a wolf... and the "mouse" is me. Bianca Ashford, just your average human. But as for playing? Yeah, not happening. I'm not in the mood for fun. My return to California is a total disaster. It's like my karma tanked the second I crossed paths with those damn werewolves-one catastrophe after another, no break in sight. The people I love keep walking out of my life, and my world turns into a twisted grab bag of surprises. Spoiler alert: they all suck. Betrayals, shocking truths, attempted murder-take your pick. But the real kicker? My "forced vacation" in Oregon left me with way more than just trauma. And meanwhile, back in the neighboring state, an entire pack is probably hunting me down. Because while I'm doing everything I can to put this nightmare behind me, they sure as hell aren't forgetting me-or the bond that ties us together. For Hunter, their bossy Alpha, I'm not just some random human. I mean a whole lot more. And he has no intention of letting me vanish. With his blood brothers at his side, he's ready to do whatever it takes to track me down and, more importantly, protect what's his. Their instincts are sharper than ever, but their patience is running out fast. The wolves are closing in, my secrets are piling up, and I'm fresh out of escape routes. When my situation spirals out of control, I'm faced with an impossible choice. Can I make it out of this, or will the endless curveballs finally take me down? And more importantly... how long can I keep running? One thing's for sure: this game is far from over.
