When the mutilated body of a notorious Denver hacker is discovered, the crime scene reveals more than brutality-it hints at something otherworldly. Detective Nicholi and forensic specialist Connie find themselves chasing evidence that doesn't fit inside the lines of science or logic.
Hundreds of miles away in New York, overworked journalist Carol Windelburg fights to hold her career together while caring for her ailing mother. She's been covering embassies and politics, not crime scenes-but when a series of headlines cross her desk about bodies torn apart with strange wounds, she can't look away. Against her better judgment, she starts digging.
The deeper she investigates, the clearer it becomes: these aren't just murders. They're messages. A shadow war is unfolding between creatures hidden in plain sight-those who wish to rule the mortal world, and those who would burn it down.
But Carol isn't just an observer anymore. The story is hunting her too.
Dark, atmospheric, and pulsing with tension, this supernatural thriller blends murder mystery, investigative drama, and gothic horror into a tale of secrets that refuse to stay buried.
The boy is completely shut down. A broken shell is what they turned him into, his human side nearly gone, the alpha in him tortured into full submission. This is the boy alpha Michael finds in the hands of criminals, and quickly becomes devoted to.

Welcome to my Shaded Universe, where domestic terrorism is a big issue; where laws and rules get bend for the greater good; where the good guys are not always good, and the bad guys aren't always bad; where men are affectionate and cuddly, and where "good boy" and "baby boy" are common phrases even between friends.
