The Test. The Border. The War. All of it was mysterious. All of it had pieces missing, scrambled explanations, and impossible outcomes. But Finley Masters was the solution to all of it.
After receiving her test results which put her at The Fence on the Border of Marsdon -once known as The Windy City- things begin to unravel and start to become unhinged. The only clues she had to what any of it meant were the journals left to her by her biological mother whom she discovers lived and died in The Fringe- a city beyond the city's shadow connected to a military installation that was built during the War. But she wasn't alone.
Ben Ward, the outcast and topic of the rumor mill in the city, had a secret that he couldn't share with anyone except one person- Finley. As they work together under the supervision of Markus, the Officer who trains them for the Border, they quickly learn they know more about each other than anybody else. As Finley continues to read the journals, she soon begins to understand that Ben had been part of her life since her early years.
The journals only bring them closer as they learn that everything is corrupt. The city is ruled by tyrants. They were unsafe inside the city, and even at the Border. Markus was their only hope, and only way out. The Fringe was their salvation, as was ARIAT. The biggest piece of the puzzle that will piece everything together, and set everything in motion for Finley and Ben to save their city from it's unruly Mayor and the impending danger that will soon take over once again, bringing on a second War that none of them are prepared for.

[COMPLETE & UNEDITED/UNREVISED] [WORD COUNT: 52,929 Most Impressive Rankings: #1 in Alien Romance #1 in Scifi-Adventure #3 in Fated-Mates Tati is one of the highly coveted and hunted hybrids of Wolfeen. There is a price on her head, and she was already sold to a breeding house once but she escaped. There are only two known hybrids on the planet of Wolfeen. But Tati didn't choose this. None of the hybrids did. She was abducted from Earth by an alien species known as the Ghoul who conduct inhumane experiments on humans in the name of the almighty dollar for a woman named Andrea Webb, former director of the agency K9 before her illegal trafficking of altered humans was revealed by K9 agents. Zeus is a Wolfeen tech agent working for unit 10 of the K9 agency. He and his team broke the case on hybrids when one of his fellow agents, Brock fell for one of the hybrids. Apparently much like the female Wolfreen, the human hybrids altered with Wolfeen DNA react exactly the same as born Wolfeen's. Only to a much more dangerous degree. When a hybrid meets their fated mate, they go into heat, and because they can't handle it, if they aren't mated quickly the heat can cause permanent damage to their brain function, internal organs, and even death. As if that threat isn't enough, Webb is still hunting the hybrids under K9 protection.Complete
First to Rise (Excerpt)
The aliens came here for one thing, and one thing only.... Females. ( This story is only available through inkitt or galatea!!!) (some read events may apply) (check update chapter for more details!) Humans believed they were the only intelligent life to exist... that it was impossible for another species to evolve in a way where they could prevail in something as great as space travel. humans believed they were supposed to be the most technologically advanced species and the alpha predators... They were wrong. The Xandisians evolved in ways humans never could have imagined, they are natural-born killers with phenomenal strength and agility. Their kind never went through the same devolution as humans, they never lost their natural instincts to hunt, kill, or breed. With their limitless potential and monstrous strength, they faced few threats and could survive almost any threat that befall their species, almost. After an incurable sickness washes over the planet of xanadis, the majority of the female, young and elderly, and vulnerable population is all but wiped out, leaving a small portion of the male population to face the threat of extinction. With no choice but to look to the stars for a means to save their kind from complete annihilation, the xandisians set out to find a race compatible with their own. after many years and countless failed expeditions, they finally find a species that matches their base DNA on a planet called Earth. The only issue now is how humans will react. (Book 2 LTF series) (CAN be read as a stand alone, but not recommended for nostalgia reasons~) (ps this is UNEDITED, grammar and spelling mistakes will ensue!) (NOTE: THIS IS ITS OWN STORY NOT A CONTINUATION. SAME CHARACTERS BUT DIFFERENT PLOT.)(Last to fall au/spin-off)Complete
