THE BEAST WITHIN

I wasn't wandering through a forest or searching for anything magical. I was just eating ice cream - minding my own business - when the stick suddenly lit up and tore open a portal right in front of me. Before I could even scream, I was pulled straight into another world.

A world ruled by ancient magic.
A world that watches me.
A world where an Alpha with silver eyes looks at me like he's been waiting for me his whole life.

Now the forest studies me, the settlement whispers about me, and something powerful marks me as its own. And the bond growing between me and him... it's nothing I expected, and everything I can't walk away from.

I don't know why the portal chose me.
I don't know what this world wants from me.
But I know this: nothing here is what it seems - not the forest, not the creatures inside it, and definitely not him.

If you want to know what happens next, you'll have to follow me deeper into this world... and into him.
