Wildfire

In a world of Magick and cryptids, a drug lord reigns supreme in the underbellies of supernatural society. Many are growing tired of losing their loved ones to the grasp of the only drug that has a hold over cryptid kind- opium. When the daughter of one of the oldest and most powerful families known in this world is rescued from captivity in the basements of a Boston opium den, her father sets forth to destroy its keeper. His success is swift and ruthless.
But no act of vengeance comes without consequence.
Elodie, an elf newly bonded with her kind lycan soul mate finds herself in the center of the roiling waters that precedes war- a war that would not only affect the lives of cryptids on Earth and in the Fae Realms, but would subject the human race to slavery, and eventually, extinction. Being that this end would forever offset the balance that her kind helped create, and would die to protect, she just cannot sit by and watch it happen. But what can she do when she is newly pregnant and under the protection of her soul mate. Though he is kind and patient, a true anomaly to his kind, his protective instincts over her and his children grow exponentially as war draws nearer.
When Elodie's father comes to call, only months before she is meant to give birth, he teaches her a truly valuable lesson. When Druid blood courses in one's veins, one need not go to war.
The war will come to you.

If you are looking for a refreshing take on the mate bond, werewolves that are not just giant dogs, and a healthy love interest between two mature adults who know how to communicate with one another, look no further. This story also includes strong female characters, men who respect them, and healthy, loving family dynamics.
But be warned, this story is not all rainbows and happiness. It will involve opium addiction. It will involve abuse. It will involve toxic relationships, gruesome violence, and the aftermath of sexual assault.
