The future is shifting, and humans are willing to do whatever it takes for the power to remain on their side.
A village of Shifters is discovered, and they do as they have done in the past. They slaughter and torture every one of them, except for two. They leave the two huddled in one another's arms to watch the mass killing of the only thing they'd ever known.
The humans have decided to repent for their past by giving the two Shifters a chance, something that hasn't happened in all of history. And what better way to show their ability to change what they've become known for than to send them to one of the Gordon boys who's next in line for Human Chair in the counsel?
Will the Shifters show that not all of their kind lie in a blood of betrayal or will they provide evidence that that's the only thing they know? (Second installment of the Gordon series. Cayne Gordon's story.)

The Female Human Alpha
What started as her biggest regret, turned into pure joy for Lillian. Well, most days. If you asked, she would tell you she suffered a moment of insanity and her hormones got the best of her. How else could she explain a one night stand with her greatest enemy? Fletcher Fitz grew up in a small town full of wolf shifters. With only a handful of humans, he despised them. Instead of people to protect, he saw them as the reason he could not be true to himself. Lillian, as the only human in a class full of wolf shifters, was the victim of bullying throughout school. The night before Fletcher left town for his first shift at eighteen, he succumbed to his desire to be near Lillian and seduced her. He intended that to be it, to get her out of his system and never look her way again. Fate had other plans. Lillian tried to contact the father of the twins growing in her belly, but his parents refused to hear her out. So, she gave up, and moved away once the people in her small hometown affected her young sons. The sneered comments and whispered insults cut them deep, so Lillian took them to her grandparents winter home to spare them the small town cruelty. Now, fifteen years after Fletcher left, he's returning home to accept the mantle of alpha from his father and lead the pack. But, Lillian is also coming home at the same time. Her grandparents passed away, so she's come to wish them one final farewell. Poor Fletcher is in for one hell of a surprise. Not only is he the father of teenage twin sons, but their mother is not the meek little girl from his memories. No, his sons are alphas, therefore only a stronger alpha can provide the support they need to grow up confident but respectful. Who is this stronger alpha? Why, their mother, of course. This story is one of my pet projects, so I make no guarantees about how often it will be updated. But I hope you enjoy it!
Ayn's Healing
Ayn is a witch with healing powers. Shapeshifters have killed her parents and the only animals she cannot speak with are wolves. When she graduates from the Teaching Clan and finds out that she has to cross the River and live in the Wolves' Mountains for one year, she is less than amused. Kari, first-born shapeshifter Alpha, almost lost his wolf after the death of his mate. He could rise again and become the pack leader if only he would complete his training ...and find another suitable Luna. When he realizes that his second chance is his mother's guest, a daydreaming stubborn witch from across the River, he is less than amused. The bond may be a strong force, but can a witch walk the Wolves' Way and face the dangers it is paved with? **** "I need to stop..." I sigh, catching her wrist before her fingers reach the back of my neck, and I untangle her arm from me. She lingers on the recliner but now there is a big gap between our bodies. The warmth she left on my skin is quickly dissipating in the spring night. "Fine." Ayn stands and searches my eyes. Her scowl has my wolf whimper in submission and makes me curse my self-imposed hard line. "I am going to need your hoodie," she orders, stretching her hand out to me. "What?" I exclaim, briefly shocked by both the tone and the content of her words. My hands however are already executing her command, unzipping my jacket. "The last time I was able to sleep, I was covered with your hoodie. Your scent is comforting." She states it plainly as if it would be an obvious and broadly known fact. Like the Earth being round. Like two being a prime number. #1 in Healer - December 2021 #7 in Lycan - December 2022 ~95 000 words Cover photo by Jr Korpa via Unsplash Cover photo by Marc-Olivier Jodoin via Unsplash hiComplete
