🏆ONC 2025 SHORTLISTER 🏆
Veyr Thalric was born beneath a blood moon, his fate inked in the past and bound to a future he cannot escape. The son of the slain Wolf, he has spent his life hidden in the shadows, waiting for the moment he can claim vengeance against the one who stole everything from him-Rowan Ashwood, the legendary hunter who wears his father's pelt like a crown.
But vengeance is never so simple. The deeper Veyr treads into the hunt, the more the forest whispers warnings of paths that cannot be undone. A deck of fate waits to be drawn, its cards promising revelations he may not be ready to face. And when love enters the fray in the form of Amerie Rosarot, a woman with fire in her heart and tragedy in her veins, Veyr is forced to confront the question that haunts all doomed hunters: When you challenge the magic of the world, can you truly finish what you started-no matter the cost?
In this tale of blood, betrayal, and destiny, the line between monster and man blurs. And in the end, the real question is not who will survive...but what will be left of them when the hunt is over.

Ｃａｌｌ ｏｆ ｔｈｅ Ａｌｐｈａ
In the frozen silence of a remote northern forest, Elara Frost has always felt the wild calling in her blood. But when savage attacks tear through her village, that call becomes something far more dangerous-a summons she can no longer ignore. Drawn to a world beyond the reach of men, Elara discovers the existence of ancient wolf-blooded clans bound by secrets, oaths, and power older than the snow itself. At their head stands Alpha Darian, a commanding leader whose protection feels as ominous as it is reassuring. Yet in the shadows of his rule prowls a rogue wolf-Rafe, fierce and untamed, a man who seems to know more about Elara's past than he should. As the blood moon rises and rival loyalties blur, Elara is forced to confront what sleeps within her veins. Torn between the order of the pack and the freedom of the wild, she must learn where her true instincts lie-and who she can trust when every howl in the dark hides a secret. In a world where love is a risk and power a curse, one choice will determine whether the wolves rise anew... or the forest drowns in its own blood.Complete

I honestly hadn't expected him to do this in retaliation, "What have you done?" Sentinels. He let them know where I am. "He did the right thing." That voice.
