    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 :)

Everything was certain. Until the night everything changed.

    Jeon Jungkook was only nineteen when he married South Korea's most powerful man. Kim Taehyung - thirty-two, cold, quiet, unreadable. He never held Jungkook like he should be treated... Never smiled at him. Never acted like a husband should. But Jungkook didn't mind. He didn't need the warmth. He just needed him. He followed Taehyung like a shadow - pouty, clingy, hopelessly in love - even when all he got in return was silence. Because to Jungkook, Taehyung wasn't a monster. He was his monster. And that was enough.
