Introduction
"Arrr," she screamed, her ribs cracking, the eerie sound like a car crash to her sensitive ears. "No."
It seemed as if the pain stopped and Isabella managed to get back on her feet, but it didn't even take a second and she was on her knees, gasping.
"Ah." The sound rang through the forest, bouncing off the trees and making the ground shake. Needles prickled on her skin as fur peeked through her pores. Claws with a dangerously painful slowness replaced her nails. The sensation was no different than when she'd trapped her hand between the door and the frame.
Isabella's body had an uncomfortable, boiling temperature as her bones cracked and rearranged themselves.
"What's wrong?" asked Isabella into the dark night. There was no answer, not that she expected one. Maybe this was death, and she closed her eyes to slowly embrace it.
Her body vibrated with panicked pain.
"Shh, sweetheart, it'll be over soon." His velvety, seductive voice enveloped her seductively, making it hard to breathe. He'd to have changed into his human form.

Chapter 1
Long ago, werewolves and Wendigos lived side by side. There was a treaty and trade between the two races.
The werewolves were divided into three factions: The Felhands, warriors in their own right, were the largest and most powerful race and known for their unmatched strength.
The Ivory Blades, the second guild, were known for their speed and intelligence and dealt with the economic and financial concerns of the palace.
And third, the Frostmantels, though fewer in number, were the most feared and were revered for their gifts such as mind reading and mind control and were called upon when trouble came to their land.
As time went on, the Wendigos became more numerous and thus hungrier. Humans were no longer enough for the cannibalistic beasts, and only the flesh of werewolves could satisfy their bloodlust; the human race was on the verge of extinction at this point.
The Wendigos spoke of a truce, an agreement that each faction would produce at least one hundred offspring each year and offer them as sacrifices and food sources. The werewolves flatly refused. And so the battle began. The Wendigos killed with uncontrollable bloodlust and the Werewolves retreated to their lands and a new rule stated that a Wendigo should be hunted down and killed on sight.
When the gates between the two worlds closed, the werewolves were wise enough to allow crossbreeding between the factions so that each species carried all three supernatural elements: the gift of mind control, the gift of strength, and the gift of speed. This gave them a fighting chance against the Wendigos.
On the day the treaty between the two races was broken, both witnessed a historic event. The queen mother of the Wendigos, who died from bloodlust, put a curse on the werewolves out of revenge and anger.
If a wolf hasn't been mated and mated by its seventeenth birth, when midnight strikes, it's bound to its wolf form and would inherit the bloodlust of a Wendigo, which turns on its kind.
The werewolves silently rage for revenge for their people... and wait for the right time.

Loyalties will be tested. Hearts will be broken. Desire will be their downfall.
Middlesbrough's underworld is a dangerous game, and Matthew Smith finds himself right in the middle of it. A once-feared gang leader, he is now forced to be a pawn in a deadly cat-and-mouse game. Matthew's only shot at freedom is helping the police bring down Mr. K, the elusive mafia boss of the city. The only problem is that the detective he is forced to work with is the same man who arrested him years ago.
Masahiro Payne is everything Matthew hates: cold, calculating, and relentless. But their only hope for survival is by pretending to be a happy couple, blending in amidst dangerous crime, deceit, and power struggles. The closer they find themselves to taking down Mr. K's empire, the more they are attracted to one another, an affair too potent to turn from.
As their undercover mission spirals into a web of lies and hidden desires, they face a growing threat from all sides. But the greatest risk is the one they can't control-their own feelings. With every touch, every stolen kiss, the line between their fake relationship and real emotions blurs.
In a world of betrayal, trust is a luxury, and falling for each other may be the deadliest mistake of all. Can they survive the deadly mafia games or will their passion be their demise?

My BFF sent the hot stranger a voice note...
Of me saying I want to climb him like a tree.
And he just. Texted. Back.
It's the dog's fault, really.
If this untrained Great Dane I'm walking had any manners at all, I never would've ended up here:
With my leash wrapped around the most gorgeous man I've ever seen.
Lucky for me, the guy is a good sport about it.
(Although his joke that āDogs take after their ownersā hits a little too close to home when Rufus starts humping his leg.)
He leaves me with his business card and a smile that makes my knees weak.
I'm still pinching myself as me and the bestie resume our walk.
āMethinks you had a little crush on him,ā she accuses.
Not thinking and a little flustered by the whole experience, I reply, āIād wrap my legs around his waist tighter than that leash.ā
THAT'S when she reveals that she'd been recording my response.
THAT'S when she gives me the most devilish grin I've ever seen and says, āYou're welcome.ā
And THAT'S when she hands me my phone and reveals...
She sent the recording to him.
My heart is in my throat as those three little dots appearā¦
