For the 5 years following his mother's unexplained disappearance, Oliver experiences the same progressively-eerie dream every night; his mother leaves and is immediately replaced with a more idealized version of her. Despite unanswered questions and the reoccurring dream that haunts him, he moves in search of rewriting his future and forgetting the past. Now working as a 911 operator in a beautiful, but strange and quirky town named Whispering Creek, Oliver finds a woman that he believes is his mother. However, she doesn't recognize him and has a family of her own. He soon finds himself chasing chilling clues in this confusing town where time feels warped, and reality seems to slip through the cracks. Oliver, with the help of friends, must uncover the truth behind his mother's disappearance and her new family, the meaning behind his dreams, and the eerie power that binds them together. But as Oliver will soon learn, the towns history may hold the key to a darker reality than he could have ever imagined.

Shadows of the Forsaken
Ever since she could remember, the experiments had been part of her life. As a child, they were harmless-just puzzles and strange potions given to her by the woman she called Mother.

Each experiment carved new scars into her skin and left her mind tangled in unanswered questions. The woman she once trusted had become a stranger, her warmth replaced by cold calculation. And then the voices started. A shadow lurked within her, whispering, clawing at the edges of her sanity. She wasn't alone in her own body-something else had been forced inside her. Something ancient. Something hungry. Now, she's free... but for how long? With the past chasing her and the monster inside threatening to take control, she's left with one question: Was she ever meant to survive, or was she only meant to become something else?

Torn Between Enemy Alphas
She heard a low growl rumble in his throat and turned her head, shooting him a teasing smile before quickly testing the water again with her toe. It was perfect. She slipped in up to her shoulders before turning towards him and grinning. "Are you gonna join me Mr. Alpha?" She paddled backwards slowly away from him, her eyes wide and innocent as she waited for him to join her. She didn't have to wait long. In a matter of moments he was beside her, and he'd pulled her against his chest, his thick arms wrapped around her waist as his forehead pressed against hers. "Is this what you wanted? You little tease." She could feel his thick cock pressed against her, still hard as a rock as she wrapped her legs around his waist. "I'm not sure this counts as teasing anymore. Not when I want you every bit as much as you want me." Bending forward she brought her lips to the place on his neck where she had marked him, kissing it gently at first, and then flicking her tongue over the spot to taste the salty sweetness of his skin. "Fuck Fin. I'm done with waiting." She bit down lightly on the spot. Not hard enough to break the skin again, but hard enough to tell him exactly what she wanted. He let out a low moan, his grip on her waist tightening ever so slightly. "Fuck Baby, are you sure? I know we're already in trouble, but this will be in direct defiance of an order we were given by the Council." --------- Alice was almost certain that she didn't have a mate.
