I quickly grabbed the knife out of my holster and threw it at a tree next to him. He stops moving then. "Heed my warning. It's the only one you'll get" I spoke coldly "I will find you. Then you will have no escape from me" he spoke as he backed away I could understand. Lycans, like lion-shifters, were going extinct. Therefore mates were even more important to them.

Cracked Earth
Haunted by prophetic dreams and armed with nothing but sarcasm, a glitchy moral compass, and a stolen handgun, 17-year-old Gabriel is trying to outrun the apocalypse-literally. With bombs falling, faith collapsing, and mysterious forces twisting reality, Gabe is thrust into a war he predicted but no one believed. Alongside a runaway with too many secrets and a scent like sin, Gabe becomes a reluctant prophet in a world governed by sins, secrets, and systemic collapse. But prophecy comes at a price. And some dreams don't wait for morning to come true.

Raised in the underworld but trained like a ghost, she joins a covert organization known only to those who survive it-Sinister Flame.

The Lycan's Flame
Her love is a weapon. It's killed before. And this time, she's sworn it won't happen again. Everyone at Blackthorn University thinks Kara is just another human girl juggling midterms, frat parties, and overpriced lattes. No one suspects the truth: that she's a Phoenix shifter, hiding in plain sight in a world ruled by werewolves and lycans. Even her closest friends don't know the fire simmering beneath her skin. But Kara isn't just hiding from them, she's hiding from fate. From the one thing she dreads more than anything else: her mate. She's done letting her love be a death sentence. She won't survive another loss. The scars she bears run deeper than flesh. So when Ryker, the dangerously magnetic lycan General, realizes Kara is his fated mate, she does exactly what she swore she would. She pushes him away. Again. And again. And again. But lycans don't walk away from their mates. And Ryker? He's dominant, possessive, and utterly relentless. He's a storm she can't outrun, a flame that won't go out. And every heated glance, every stolen moment, threatens to shatter the walls she's spent years building. As secrets ignite and her past begins to unravel, Kara must face the truth: Can she let herself love again, knowing it could destroy them both? Or will her lies-and the deadly curse entwined with her love-be the very thing that dooms them forever?Complete
