A chef, yanked from his kitchen into a world of beastmen and ancient prophecies, finds himself in a fish-out-of-water power struggle with the key to uniting a divided city on his culinary skills...and becoming a mate. As his heart is won over and loyalties questioned, can he use his recipes to bake a better future, or will he be devoured by a ruthless destiny?

What to Expect:
Isekai / Summoned MC: A practical chef trying to apply real-world logic to a fantasy world.
Found Family: A core trio of broken, traumatized heroes who form a dysfunctional but loyal pack.
Deep World-Building: Distinct kingdoms with their own unique cultures, politics, and dark histories.
Slow-Burn M/M Romance: A central romance that is a primary driver of the plot, exploring themes of love, consent, and cultural clashes.
Kingdom/Business Building: The transformation of a ruined keep into a thriving restaurant that becomes the heart of a new community.
Subversive Tropes: A deconstruction of the "Alpha," the "Chosen One," and the "Heroic Quest."

Warning: This story is tagged NSFW and will explore mature themes, including violence, trauma, and dark political realities. It starts as a light adventure and progresses to a much more realistic and gritty tone.

"Why?" Kyzzu's voice trembled as he spoke In His language, both from anger and the tears that still streamed down his face. "Why did you do this to me?!" Winston easily sidestepped Kyzzu's attack, his expression shifting into something cold and distant. Kyzzu's strength failed him, and he nearly collapsed, his body giving way to the weight of his emotions. He was such a fool, a stupid, mindless animal that only cared for himself and some foreigner. Renzi was right the whole time. A cruel smile twisted Winston's lips as he looked down at Kyzzu. "You really took our fling too hard." he said, his tone filled with mockery. "Get this straight, little boy, You were nothing more a means of information and a way to get laid in this jungle, Kyzzu. And besides, you were the one moaning and crying under me to release inside you, is this how you usually do for the men of this village?" Kyzzu's world crumbled as Winston's words hit him like a physical blow. He had been deceived, used, and discarded, and the realization of it tore at his heart. "I trusted you!" Kyzzu cried, his voice breaking. "You made me believe-" "Believe what?" Winston cut him off, his voice icy. "That you were special? That I actually cared about you? How naive. You were just something different, something exotic to keep me entertained. And for that you were at least worth something." Kyzzu dropped to his knees, the knife slipping from his hand as he wept. The betrayal was too much to bear. The man who had once made him feel valued, who had filled him with hope and longing, was now tearing him apart with every cruel word. Winston's laughter echoed in the stillness of the night, the sound devoid of warmth. "Pathetic," he sneered. "You're just like the rest of them-weak, Naïve and foolish." *** Enticing... have a read (⁠。⁠•̀⁠ᴗ⁠-⁠)⁠✧

The leaves waving in the wind, birds singing their beautiful songs, the distant sound of water running through the forest. Living in a dense forest has been Jason's dream place to live since he was little. Although he lived on a farm in Nebraska. He enjoyed the outdoors, the only form of nature he got when living in Nebraska was when he visited the small forests near the Platte River and frequent visits to the Nebraska National Forests near the border of South Dakota. Jason has decided to move to the Chugach Forest within the state of Alaska. Jason has been living there for 2 years. Living deep in the forest but not too far from civilization, he has a good amount of privacy. One day, he decides to go out on a small camping trip to get some deer. On his trip, however, he runs into a pack of wolves, but not just any regular wolves, the group of them turned out to be anthropomorphic wolves, being able to shift into their anthro forms as well as their normal wolf forms. The wolves confront Jason and take him to their Alpha because he is living in their territory. Jason, not wanting to get on the wrong side of the pack, give the deer to them as a peace offering. The Alpha, considerate of Jason's kindness, offers a deal with him. Jason can stay in their territory but in return, he must help in their hunts. Follow Jason on his journey with these anthro wolves as he makes connections with the entire pack and becomes great friends with the Alpha.
