Everyone in the town of Ashwood had heard the stories.
For generations, whispers of a Beast in the woods echoed through quiet kitchens and over flickering campfires. It was said to prowl the dense forest that circled the town like a watchful wall. No one had ever seen its face-only its outline. A hulking silhouette, barely distinguishable from the darkness itself, always watching, always just out of reach.
Sometimes it appeared under the light of a full moon, lingering at the edge of vision before vanishing again for years. And when it returned, it brought a hush with it. Birds would fall silent. Dogs would cower. Shadows seemed to grow longer, colder.
Most of Ashwood scoffed at the legends now. They called it a ghost story for children, a tale told to keep teenagers from wandering too far. But the ones who knew better-the ones who had seen the shadow moving between the trees-felt the truth in their bones.
The Beast was real.
And whatever it was waiting for, it was coming closer.
But Zoey knew, he was coming for her.

Lunar Veil
In the remote town of Black Hollow, death wears the mask of wolves-but the truth is far darker. Dr. Evelyn Hart, a brilliant but skeptical forensic pathologist, is sent from the city to investigate a string of brutal killings. The townsfolk whisper about curses, ancient legends, and a beast that stalks beneath the full moon. Evelyn trusts science, not superstition. But when claw marks gouge trees higher than any wolf could reach, when the dead are crushed with impossible force, and when glowing eyes stare back at her in the forest, her certainty begins to fracture. Drawn into a chilling web of blood, folklore, and fate, Evelyn discovers she bears a mark older than the town itself-a mark that ties her to a man both dangerous and magnetic, a man who claims she was destined to be his mate. As her body betrays her and the wolf within claws free, she must choose: cling to the human life she built... or embrace the monstrous destiny that waits under the moon.

Unbecoming

Her maybe-sorta-crush Ryan is watching her too closely. And Sean, her other best friend, a not-so-great werewolf who never takes anything seriously, might actually be able to find the answers she needs. But the local witches have their own rules, their own secrets, and their own reasons for keeping Reagan in the dark. All Reagan knows is that something happened to her. And if she doesn't figure it out fast, she might not be the only one who pays the price. Please do not solicit me with offers to create art, etc., for me. I can do my own art.

I Accidentally Summoned a Demon
"I know you're a virgin but have you never been touched?" He asked, sliding his other hand down onto her leg. "What makes you say that?" Kat breathed, bracing her hands on the counter. "You react like someone who's never felt another's touch," Nex whispered, slipping his thumb under the band of her shorts. "So, have you not?" Kat opened her mouth to speak but stopped when his hand slid up from her leg, gliding up her stomach and stopping just below her breast. "Not even here?" He asked, following the curve of her breast with one finger, not touching, staying just below as he dragged it back and forth. "What about here?" He asked, sliding his hand down from her ribs to the bottom of her shorts then around to her butt, fingers nearly grazing it as he inched them up, under her pajamas. "I can say with certainty, never here," he said, lowering his other hand under the waistband of her shorts, touching the top of her underwear. "No, you've definitely never felt that before. I can hear your heart racing, I can feel your breathing, I can smell your body responding like it's never experienced these sensations before," he whispered, sliding a finger just underneath the band. "Should I answer its call?" #1 in demons on 6/15 -6/17/20! Again on 6/20 and 6/22-6/23! Sweet and innocent Katherine has a routine and is a little tightly wound.
