In the distant future, the world is a far different place. Humans live alongside Hybrids and various other species. Dynamics now exist: Apex-Alpha, Alpha, Delta, Beta, Gamma, Omega, and Sigma. Require 'Shadow' McCleary is a Sigma Fox-Hybrid who works for the NYPD's Homicide Division and is their most rebellious and tenacious detective. But when she's assigned a case that's brutal as well as a new partner, she quickly realized that not all is as it seems. Evaan Dorlan is the new Captain of Homicide and Requiem's new partner. The Apex-Alpha Human finds himself drawn to the Fox with a dark past and who defies all expectations. When teens go missing in their city and two of their own are taken, the cases are piled on top of their main priority: a serial rapist and a serial killer who have teamed up to send a message to Requiem. When no cops are allowed to stay alone, will the Captain be able to resist the magnetic pull of his Detective? Will they save lives? Or will it all crash and burn around them?
Yes, I know this seems like something out of left field and I know A/B/O is unusual outside of fanfiction or Supernatural fiction. I am a little leary about posting those cause I know some folks will not approve.

Kylie survived the brutal destruction of her pack only to discover her cold alpha mate was the one responsible for the brutal slaughter of her family and pack mates. She can't forgive and she won't forget.
Kylie cooperates with his demands while she searches for a way to free the remaining survivors and herself. Success teaches her just how complicated mate bonds can be and gives her the chance to choose her own fate.
"Screw the mate bond. If I went for his throat while he was driving in human form, I might be able to kill him right now, and if I didn't succeed, the resulting accident might. I leapt for the front seat, powerful jaw ready to rip out his throat as he had ripped out my family's to take my revenge.
Without even taking his left hand off the wheel, he blocked me by getting his right forearm between my jaws. I bit down as hard as I could, wishing to break his bones and sever the limb. Worse, I felt the tingles of our first contact where violence had connected us. The iron of his blood mingled with the other scents around me."
(This is a dark story, but not the stereotypical one where she falls in love with her captor. This is the story of escape from a toxic relationship and finding healthy love.)
MATURE content including violence, dubious consent, intimacy, and mature and other possibility upsetting themes like threats of suicide and miscarriage. Not intended for the 18- crowd, sorry.
