When a boy wakes up from a coma and finds a letter at his side, he finds out he's the newest player in a game they call Vanguard.

***

The last thing 05 remembers is crashing his spaceship. When he wakes up, he finds himself in a hospital room on a strange place called Earth with a mind of memories that aren't his. 

A letter informs him that he's in the body of a murdered boy and that he's now part of a survival game. Soon, 05, now Red Harris, is dragged away to start his new life---in a steel maze known only as Vanguard. 

Amidst traps and death, Red meets Alisa, Lennox, Cheng Xin, and Becca. He finds out they're in the same situation as him---all players of the game, specially handpicked by a strange force they call 'the government'. They decide to work together to escape Vanguard and make it out alive.

There's a catch, though. There can only be one winner---and the prize is their life.

"He can die 'cause we haven't had sex?" I say as the weight of what she's just told me hits me like a ton of bricks. "The longer the Alpha stays in that state the more dangerous it gets. The pressure on the body because of a conflict with his decision not to mate with you and his wolf's need to mate carries a huge risk."

With a sudden exposure to his older brother's secrets, he is forced to give shelter and protection to relatives he has never expected to have. To make matter worse one of them is 19 years old human girl who seems to be the first one in years not to show any respect for him... Hannah has just lost her parents and is now faced with the responsibility to raise her 3 werewolf siblings being human herself along with a sudden danger lurking in the shadows. Forced to trust those she was taught to never trust, Hannah has to face a completely new life in the werewolf pack ruled by forceful Alpha Blackwood.

Love how the story is unfolding after each chapter" Review by @simrangharge, Twirling pages (The Review book) THIS IS MY FIRST BOOK AND I HOPE YOU ALL WILL HAVE AS MUCH FUN READING IT AS I HAD WRITING IT :) THERE ARE SOME HEAVY TOPICS MENTIONED (like rape and child abuse).

WARNING R-RATED Disaster-in-Waiting was a dream come true for me. Firstly writing it and then sharing it on here and receiving such a wonderful response to it. It was because of the support and encouragement on here that I finally took the decision to self-publish as an e-book. It is available on Amazon and can be read for free on there with Kindle Unlimited. ****Mature audience only due to adult themes; sex, language and situations**** Eloise Ross is married to Michael, her much older and recently retired husband. He fills his days with golf and walking the dog, while she fills her days working as a newly appointed P.A. to the CEO of an international company. One night, disillusioned with her sexless marriage she goes out alone, drinks beer and dances with a handsome stranger. The moves on the dance floor quickly lead to passion and excitement like El has never known, but it was only one night, one time. Just that once couldn't mean anything, could it? Just that once changed her view on everything she'd ever thought she'd known or valued; her home, family, husband and marriage, but most of all herself. As her life begins to unravel, with twists and turns that make her laugh, cry and despair El has only one constant to hang onto, her handsome stranger. "Because I don't want to end it. I'm not exactly what you'd call experienced," I said with a warm flush creeping up my cheeks. "I thought everything I had, with Michael was an ideal life until that night, when I met you and something switched inside me, a realisation that it was as far from ideal as anything ever could be. I don't think I'm being clear here, sorry. I am not trying to pin my happiness or the consequences of this on you, God, I don't even call you by your first name so to expect anything of you is not realistic!"

STORY REDONE- **Prologue** "Callie, no, don't!" His voice cracks with desperation as bullets scream past me, the room erupting in chaos. I catch sight of a masked figure darting toward a narrow exit, and without a second thought, I sprint after him, pushing through the acrid haze of gunpowder. The hallway stretches before me like a black void, illuminated only by sporadic flickers of malfunctioning lights. Each step I take echoes ominously, my senses on high alert. The heavy thud of my footsteps seems unnaturally loud in the oppressive silence that surrounds me. As I advance, a cold chill grips my spine, and an unsettling premonition takes hold. My instincts scream at me to stop, but the figure is just ahead, a tantalizing promise of answers within reach. I turn a corner, and everything changes in an instant. Without warning, a searing pain explodes at the base of my skull. I stagger, my vision blurring, as my legs buckle. The hallway spins, a whirl of darkness closing in around me. And then, **Darkness.** In the void, I drift, unmoored and disoriented. The silence is deafening, punctuated only by the echoes of my racing thoughts. The terror of what's to come grips me tighter than any physical pain. Each breath is labored, each heartbeat a reminder of the precarious edge I'm teetering on. A sliver of light cuts through the black, and I catch a glimpse of shadows moving just beyond my reach. The realization crashes over me: this isn't just an ambush-it's a trap, meticulously crafted and more dangerous than I ever imagined. With every moment that slips away, the stakes climb higher, and the true nature of the threat remains just out of sight, shrouded in the depths of an intricate conspiracy. The game has changed, and I'm left to navigate a labyrinth of deception and peril. What started as a chase now threatens to unravel everything I hold dear. And as the darkness closes in, one thing becomes chillingly clear: the real battle has only just begun.
