Running, running, running...Always running. I always thought of myself as a dreamer, a romantic really. I am a Taurus and though not many people might identify with their astrological sign, I always dreamed about sleeping and just laying out in the sun with a book in hand and nothing to do. As much as other people might like to think, I have no desire to run. Running is for psychopaths and I might be crazy but not that crazy. Every time I hate myself or I want to give up, I think about them. I need to do this. Not only for myself but also for them. I can't afford to give up or look back. I really hope they don't come looking for me. If they find me, all hell breaks loose.
Cardinal is a reverse-harem story, meaning our FMC ends up with multiple guys. HEA.

The Hybrid Alpha
Running. Escaping. Surviving. My life has always been a chase. And now? The hunter has finally caught up. After years on the run, everything changed the moment I met him...the one they all feared. The Hybrid Alpha. I was done running. Exhausted from hiding from my past. So I stopped. I surrendered. But surrender came with a price... separation from my twin, Alpha Kane and a forced bond with a mate I never asked for. Taken to a strange pack, trapped by fate and boredom, my only distraction becomes the one male I swore I wouldn't fall for. Xavious. He's distant. Dangerous. A mystery wrapped in muscle and power. And yet... there's something about him that pulls me in, no matter how hard I resist. I know I'll run again. I have to. But part of me wonders... what if I stay? Question to the unknown: how long will they run in circles? How long will they ignore the attraction? Most importantly how long before they realise they've fallen in love? Will it be too late?... ~~~~ "Tell me you don't feel something...between us." "I d-don't." He replies instantly clenching his jaw. "Good to know Xavious." I turn to get up but he stops me as usual. "I don't know what it is..." "It's nothing. Nothing Xavious. You walk like a brick wall whose not affected by anything or anyone." Before I could heave a breath he somehow managed to pull me under him. I gasp at his fast movement amazed by his powers yet again. He trails his fingers down my shoulders to my curved hips as I place my palms on his hard yet smooth chest. Instantly his eyes close as if savouring the moment as does mine. "I could've taken you whenever I would've pleased but I didn't" He says in a husky voice. "Prove it." A steamy, supernatural game of cat-and-mouse between reluctant mates. A love that's hunted, resisted... and ultimately inevitable. WARNING: MATURE SCENES. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK. Now undergoing edits-thank you for your patience! Enjoy, lovelies ❤️Complete

Like a kidney, I don't need them to survive, but I wouldn't be whole. What's done is done and I'm determined to move on from the constant questions and new found notoriety I gained from my little "trip" with my captors. They're not coming back and it's long past time I accepted it. Jaxson We've bidden our time this past year, but patience has its time and mine is gone. Time for my Pet to come back home. The pressure is on and we're more than ready to get our brother his life back once and for all. Four in, five out.
