Lucas is a wolf shifter and former army ranger, who had been looking for his fated mate for years. After nearly giving up on finding her; he is captured, tortured, and imprisoned for many months by an unknown agency. He escapes with the help of a feisty female prisoner named Sarah. He soon discovers that she is his life mate. Together they make their way back to his secluded forest home, where they should be safe with the help of his large family. Along the way, Lucas's admiration towards Sarah turns to friendship and then to love as he struggles to convince her of his true feelings. As their love for each other grows, they must stay ahead of the mysterious agency in pursuit or risk recapture.
Sarah had been working on her doctorate when she was captured. The subject of strange experiments by a crazy scientist, she continuously plots her escape. Once she learns of Lucas's existence in the facility, she seeks his aid in helping them escape. Once free, Sarah agrees to return with Lucas to his home as she has no family of her own or a safe place to hide. Sarah initially rejects Lucas's attention and his claim that she is his destined one. Because of her father's abandonment, she doesn't believe any man could love her. That combined with her own closely kept secret makes her fear accepting his love.
Unbeknownst to both of them, the head of the agency wants Sarah brought to him at any cost, for his own evil designs. Can Lucas keep Sarah safe, and will their love triumph in the end?

Most impressive rank: 1 - Fairytale *** Casey is all alone in the werewolf world, the only family she has left is her crazy dad. her mum died of cancer, causing her dad to go crazy and start beating Casey. What's worse is that she can't get away from the violence because when she goes to school they do the same. *** I close my eyes so I could listen and smell everything in case this was the last time I would ever be in this beautiful forest. I chase away any bad or worried thoughts because this place seemed so sacred it did not allow them. I breath in and catch the sweet scent of lavender flowers that speckled the ground in little clumps and the dry smell of dirt that hadn't been rained on in a couple of day. I listen to the steady titters of birds as they fly from tree to tree, collecting little twigs and leaves to build their nests with. I listen to the buzz of the bees greedily feasting on the flowers that scattered around the dry forest floor. I open my eyes to take in the scenery, rays of sunlight filter through the green canopy, penetrating through the leaves and casting a green-yellow effulgence over the ground that wavers as the trees rustle in the light whispers of wind. The crunching of dry leaves under my feet alert me so I cast my eyes to the floor and watch as I step on each individual leaf and dry twig, enjoying the snapping sounds that echo through the near silent forest. Gnarly roots dip into ground and twisted branches reach down, fingers grasping the air, as if reaching for me and I shiver, thinking of my father. I cast my eyes up to think of something else and instantly calm as another puff of breeze rustles the leaves on the trees and ground gently. I look ahead and notice the steady thinning of the old trees and run towards it, loving the feeling of the air in my air and clothes. I spot what I think is light dancing on waters surface and sprint for it. Then I break through the trees, making it to the lake.

In a small, misty town nestled at the edge of a vast, enchanted forest, lives Elena, a young woman with a mysterious past she can't remember. She's always felt drawn to the forest, even though the townspeople warn of dangerous creatures that lurk within it under the full moon. One evening, while wandering near its edge, she encounters a wounded wolf with eyes that seem unnervingly human. Against her better judgment, she helps it, only for the creature to disappear by morning. Days later, a mysterious stranger, Lucas, arrives in town. Handsome and rugged, Lucas has a dark, secretive air. He seems strangely familiar to Elena, and as they grow closer, she notices that he always vanishes on the nights of the full moon. Her curiosity soon leads her to a discovery - Lucas is a werewolf, cursed to transform every full moon, struggling to balance his humanity and the beast within. As their love deepens, Elena learns that the curse isn't just his - it's part of her forgotten past as well. The bond between them isn't accidental but destined.

Now, Elena is the last of her kind, the key to breaking the curse, but only by facing unimaginable danger. Lucas and Elena must navigate their growing love, while also dealing with rival werewolves, a mysterious witch, and the secrets that have been buried deep within the forest.
