The sight sent a feral rage coursing through his veins, the anger igniting within him like wildfire. His mate. His fucking mate crying in fear for her life. The primal fury that surged through him was unstoppable, like a beast unleashed from its cage. "I'll kill them," Ares muttered through clenched teeth, his words chilling. "I'll fucking kill them all." His mate. She was out there, in the hands of people who didn't understand what they were messing with. He would make them regret this-he would burn the world to the ground to bring her back.

Little does she know that her path will intersect with two intriguing men who hold a mysterious fascination for her, and are much too dangerous of a temptation to resist.

Now, she must confront the looming danger and fight to protect herself, before she is consumed by the shadows.

The Beast Within Us by TheSixteenth

"I said goodbye to Roze as I go to get my supplies. It's times like this that make me wonder... Maybe if my mother never gave me up I would be treated better by those who actually care about me... I know my rank in this pack is Laborer but I have the heart of a Warrior. I long for the rush of a true battle but... my strength is always wasted on common household work. I let out a heavy, sad sigh. Someday... Somehow... Someway... I'll get what I truly deserve..." ~*~*~*~*~ Delilah's life is nothing she had expected: Her parents abandoned her as a baby, her hard and meaningless role in this pack she now calls home sucks the life out of her, and her mate now wants nothing to do with her. But no matter what cruel trials fate has thrown at her she still seems to find a way to push past it. But this time something sinister happens, something that forces her out of her pack, never being able to return. We all have a beast inside us- but what happens when we let them out..?
