Celeste Monroe has stopped believing in dreams. She works the night shift at a gas station on the edge of nowhere, sipping bitter coffee and pretending her heart isn't quietly breaking. But when a tattooed stranger named Orion wanders in with a guitar, a haunted stare, and a melody that feels like fate-her world tilts.
For one night, time slows. Secrets spill. A song is sung that neither of them were ready for. And a kiss is shared under a sky full of stars that seem to be watching.
But come sunrise, he's gone. No number. No goodbye. Just a lyric on a napkin and the ache of something unfinished.
Was it fate? A dream? Or the beginning of something bigger than either of them can imagine?

Wolf's Den: Dream Chaser
Behind the bar at Wolf's Den, Silasine Cain pours whiskey for monsters and gods alike. She's thirty-four, beautiful, and carefully ordinary - at least, that's what she wants the world to see. But buried beneath her skin is the blood of Epiales, the forgotten god of nightmares - a lineage her family has spent generations denying. When she dreams, the world listens. When she feels, shadows move. And when she loves, something ancient awakens. Her quiet life in the underworld of Somerset, Kentucky shatters the night Elias Ward walks through the door - a storm-drenched hunter cursed by the same god who sired her bloodline. He's spent years dreaming of her face, her voice, her scent of smoke and rain... without knowing she was real. Now he's found her, and the curse that binds them both begins to stir. Their attraction is immediate, magnetic - and wrong. Every touch feeds the god sleeping in her veins. Every kiss blurs the line between dream and waking, pleasure and ruin. The closer they draw to each other, the more the world around them begins to twist - as Epiales himself stirs in the dark, ready to reclaim what he lost. As desire becomes obsession and dreams bleed into reality, Silasine and Elias must decide whether their love is salvation... or the end of everything. In Wolf's Den: Dream Chaser, nothing stays buried - not gods, not curses, and not the kind of longing that can bring the dead to life.
Escaping Duty

Mason returns home to escape his past, but familiar faces return, and new threats arrive in town. Keeping an eye on the enemy, he struggles to avoid getting involved any more than he should. But, when their paths cross, they learn not everything is black and white, and the people you least suspect could be your enemy. ------ 'This is a dumb idea' she thought to herself. Slowly she began reaching her hand towards the animal, feeling compelled to touch it. Would it be as soft as it looked? Did it want her to touch it? The rain continued pelting them, but it felt like its eyes were drawing her into another space, where nothing else mattered. The sudden desire to be closer to this animal was beginning to overtake her mind, especially as her hand neared its head. The whole time the animal only watched her with those large eyes. She imagined it almost asking for her touch. It didn't cross her mind how she knew he'd be soft, or how she even knew the creature was a 'he' to begin with. As her finger just barely grazed the animal, multiples things happened. She felt something shock her causing her to pull her hand back, just as thunder and lightning sounded. When the light cleared the animals' eyes, were narrowed into slits, and it was growling. It was a deep menacing sound that sent her stumbling backward, heart wildly beating. It bared fangs the size of her hand alone dipping its head. Had her touch angered the animal into finally attacking her? She kept moving backward in the rain, slipping in her converses as the creature continued growling. It was then she knew she was prepared to run, no matter what happened.

They met in a Discord server at 2:14 a.m. a girl bleeding from heartbreak, and a boy half a world away who didn't ask her to be okay. Just... to be there. Celeste wasn't looking for love. She only wanted to survive another sleepless night, wrapped in blankets and silence and the ghost of who she used to be.

Across oceans and time zones, through late-night calls and half-typed messages, they built something fragile and fierce-an almost-love stitched together in static. Both scarred. Both terrified. Neither able to let go. When life pulls them apart, they try to move on. Other people. Other paths. But some bonds don't break. Some loves refuse to fade. Some are written in stars... and ink. This is the story of two punk-hearted souls who find each other in the dark-and keep finding each other, even when the world dares them not to.

Little Red's Riding
"Why, Alpha?" he had sat down right next to her when he arrived, and now she leaned closer to him so that their lips were only inches apart. He could smell the sweet scent of strawberries and cream that drove him out of his mind whenever she was near. "Why can't someone else have me. To marry. To fuck. To have a dozen babies with. If you've decided you don't want me. Why does it matter what happens to me?" She bit her lower lip slightly as she stared into his eyes. Silas was about to say something, he really believed that he was, but instead he brought his mouth crashing down against her plump, willing red lips, his tongue desperately seeking entrance to her mouth, while one hand tangled in her thick, dark hair and the other gripped her waist tightly. Giving Dahlia up, even for some imagined good, was entirely hopeless. He had spent a week pretending like he didn't need her and now that the illusion was gone and he knew he couldn't wait another moment to have her. "Dahlia, I want to fuck you right here. I need to feel every inch of you and I can't wait another moment." The warm hum of his skin against hers, which felt like pure electricity on his end, was heightened ten fold as they both gave in entirely to the bond. She lay back on her cloak, her legs parting, as she pulled him down on top of her, still fully clothed. She could feel his huge cock through his breeches and she remembered how enormous and thick it had been when she'd caught a glimpse of it before he had shifted into his wolf that night. Just the thought of him pushing his way inside her tight, virgin pussy made her throb with desire. ------ ⚠️THIS STORY HAS EXPLICIT SCENES AND MATURE CONTENT.
