Haunted by grief and the wreckage of his own life, Poe is driven to find the killer. But the clues don't add up, and the deeper he goes, the more reality begins to fracture.
What hunts in the dark isn't human. And it knows Poe better than anyone.

Shattered
Cami Ayad had been through hell and back this past year and the only thing she wanted was to have some normality in her life. After her brutal and traumatising experience with Werewolves, she was reluctant to attend the party celebrating the union of her sister Nala and her mate Alpha Alessandro. The guest list was extensive and consisted of all the Alphas and Betas from across the country. Cami's plan was to attend the party, keep a low profile and then leave. It was a simple plan and one that would have gone without a hitch if she hadn't caught the eye of an Alpha. Not just any Alpha, Alpha Rafael Casillas, one of the most ruthless and vicious Alpha out there, an Alpha who despised humans. So why couldn't he stay away from Cami? And why couldn't Cami, who feared Werewolves, do the same?
𝐀𝐥𝐩𝐡𝐚 𝐊𝐢𝐧𝐠'𝐬 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐞

The Dark Conqueror
~Coming Soon~ He's the one they whisper about in every corner, hushed voices of the one everyone fears. He's the one nightmares are made of. The one parents tell their children stories of, so they'll behave. He's the dark conqueror, the dark Alpha that everyone prays never crosses his path. For if they do, they know what that means: he's there to claim another pack, and it could be theirs. The Dark Alpha has been conquering packs since he was 19. Every 3 years, he begins his journey again, with the same task of taking down another pack. And when he strikes, he doesn't hit just one pack; he takes down all the surrounding packs one by one, leaving only the low-ranked wolves alive. A small, broken Omega is found in the destruction left by his men. One he couldn't care less about. The dark Alpha has a heart as cold as steel; even those closest to him are kept at a distance. The Omega is drawn to him even though he fears him. He steals glances from under his lashes every chance he gets, even though he feels invisible in his presence. No matter how hard he tries to stop thinking of the alpha, he can't. Every time he closes his eyes, he sees him, and every time he dreams, he's in his arms. The heart is a fickle thing. It's unpredictable and has a mind of its own. No matter how hard he tries to look away. No matter how hard he tries not to think of him, and no matter how much it hurts that he's so invisible in his presence, he can't change the way his heart feels. The damn thing wants what it wants, whether his brain wants it or not.

The Lycan King's Human Mate
"Stop," the beast growled in my ear. The sound vibrated through my entire body. I froze for a heartbeat from pure shock. He lowered his head beside mine, breath warm against my neck. His voice was low, dangerous... fraying at the edges. "Aurora," he said, "if you run from me again, I will chase you. And I will catch you. His hold tightened as if proving the point. "I will always catch you." Tears spilled down my cheeks. "You're scaring me," I whispered, voice shaking. His breath hitched-barely, but enough that I felt it. For a moment, just a moment, the iron in his grip softened. His hand slid from my waist to my wrist, holding firm but no longer crushing. Then his other arm locked around my upper body, strong enough that escape was impossible. "Aurora," he said, his voice rough, "you cannot run from a bond like this." I shook my head violently. "I'm human! I'm not meant for- for you!" His chest rumbled behind me, a low, frustrated sound. "You are meant for me," he said, lips brushing the shell of my ear. "Fate does not make mistakes." Aurora Hayes, a human girl from a village called Eldermist, a remote settlement tucked beside the enchanted Blackpine Forest. Her people had lived in fear for generations fearing the Beast said to roam the woods. On one night Aurora ventures out into the woods and comes face to face with the beast her village fears. Roman the ruthless Lycan King instantly recognizes Aurora as his mate and takes her to his pack. Roman will stop at nothing to claim the woman destiny has chosen for him.But Aurora is human.

The Communicator
She is the Communicator of the New Area. The Communicators do the one job other humans are too afraid to do, communicating and preventing violence between wolves and humans. "My name is Alara. I'm the new Communicator. This is my first day. I-" "I know what Communicators are all about," he interrupts. "I've met many over the years. You speak of understanding and cooperation while your guns are loading behind your backs." "That's not-" "Save your diplomatic bullshit for someone who hasn't heard it before." His voice remains calm, which somehow makes it more terrifying. "I want the human who killed one of our own." "We have laws-" "Your laws." The contempt is undisguised now. "Your laws that somehow always find humans innocent of crimes against wolves. Your laws that punish a wolf's defense of territory as aggression. Your laws that treat us as animals when it suits you and as criminals when it doesn't." This is the first book in the series, so please don't expect anything perfect just yet. It's a first draft and a work in progress :)
The Alpha's Secret Heir
Four years ago, Clara made the hardest choice of her life. After one reckless, passionate night with Killian-the ruthless and terrifying Supreme Alpha of the Shadow Pack-she ran away. She didn't run because she hated him. She ran because she was pregnant, and a fragile human carrying an Alpha's heir would never survive the deadly politics of his pack. Now, Clara lives a quiet, invisible life in a remote human town, doing everything she can to protect her four-year-old son, Leo. But Leo isn't a normal human boy. The Alpha blood in his veins is too strong. When Leo's early, uncontrollable shifting abilities accidentally trigger a supernatural border alarm, it draws the immediate attention of the local werewolf enforcers... led by none other than Alpha Killian himself. Killian is colder and more dangerous than Clara remembers. He doesn't recognize her-she has spent years using witch hazel to mask her scent. But the moment the lethal Alpha locks eyes with the little boy who shares his piercing grey eyes, his inner wolf goes completely feral with sudden, obsessive protective instincts. Killian doesn't know the boy is his. He doesn't know the terrified mother is the girl who vanished from his bed four years ago. But he knows one thing: he is never letting them go. And when Killian finally discovers the truth, the entire world will burn for keeping his family from him.
