My Rainy Day Wolfshifter Romance Ramblings

I have read many poorly written (or atleast not checked grammatically or spell checked) werewolf romances, and I have gotten tired of the same tired poorly written tropes(love triangles, overcoming Disney villain style abuse, poorly thought out polities, overcoming extremely obvious or stupid villainesses[real high school sh*t], enemies to lovers, war, witches, blah blah blah). I do like a lot of these tropes, just not in the werewolf books I've read. I like books where romance is a part of the main plot (or atleast consistently shown in every chapter), not a subplot that shows up every few chapters. I have a friend who prefers romance books where romance isn't the plot. I have read several romance werewolf books where romance isn't actually the plot, but the first 30ish chapters are all smutty romance and then a political or war plot takes over with no set-up or warning, and then the last 10 chapters go back to the heavily smutty, fast-paced romance. I don't mind romance books where romance isn't the plot; the werewolf books I've read just handled it really poorly.

Anyways, I set out to write a werewolf romance I might actually enjoy. I can't guarantee it's better than what I've previously read, but I hope someone enjoys it. The first 15-20 chapters will probably be a coherent story, and the rest might be oneshots. I'm open to ideas(request), but I make no guarantees. I don't and won't write anything more than light smut; don't request lemons.

I'm using the term Wolf-shifter instead of werewolf cause they turn into wolves, not a human-wolf hybrid, and they can shift whenever they want instead of only during the full moon. Most of the werewolf romances I've read were wolf-shifters, not actual werewolves.

The music videos I included in the chapter are just songs from 2010-2015 or earlier to help me remember that's when I want this taking place. Songs are mostly random or just songs I like.
