Bone-tired, I stop at a small out-of-the-way motel for the night. The inn-keeper notifies me there is only one bed left. The catch―the bed is haunted and I have to stay until six a.m.

I'm not afraid of ghosts. Maybe I should be...

Me, a stranded stranger, and a haunted bed. What could go wrong?

WITW Contest prompt: One bed... and it's haunted

The city never sleeps, but neither does a man with a deadline written in blood. In the shadows of Las Vegas, behind the smoke and the neon, Paxton Wolfe rules an empire built on secrets and fear. To the world, he's a casino mogul-untouchable, ruthless, impossible to know. To the ones who whisper in the dark, he's something far older. Alpha. Predator. A man bound by the oldest law his kind has ever known: find your mate before your thirtieth birthday, or lose your strength, your power... your life. Time is running out. With enemies closing in and betrayal circling like vultures, Paxton doesn't have the luxury of wanting-he needs. Needs the one woman who can anchor the storm inside him, the one bond strong enough to keep his pack and his empire from collapsing into ruin. But finding her in a city built on lies is dangerous. Keeping her alive will be worse. When Ripley steps into his path-sweet, stubborn, and blissfully unaware of the monsters hiding in plain sight-Paxton knows two things instantly: she's his...and she's in more danger than she can possibly imagine. The moment their worlds collide, she becomes the target. The pawn. The prize everyone wants to claim. He'll protect her. Possess her. Break anyone who tries to take her. But time is slipping through his fingers, and the line between salvation and obsession is razor-thin. In Las Vegas, the house always wins. Paxton Wolfe intends to make sure that house...is him.

**Entry in thegrudgecontest** I was a non-believer of the supernatural, a skeptic if you will. I thought ghosts were a figment of overactive imaginations. Paranormal was just a genre created for entertainment purposes. But all that changed when I moved into an old farmhouse that had a tragic past... My once normal life was thrown into absolute chaos by one ticked-off specter. A ghost who was furious that we had trespassed onto their property and wanted us gone expeditiously. ********************** Highest Rankings as of 06/19/2021: #1 diabolical #2 erie #4 thegrudgecontest #13 following #18 haunted house #24 fright ********************** Some strong language so be advised.
