The Wolf Within
Adventure Maya had always known there was something different about her, a quiet, unnamable feeling that lurked beneath her skin. Tonight, however, that feeling had transformed into a fierce, unrelenting force. As the full Blood Moon rose above Elderglen, casting the village in an eerie crimson glow, a searing pain tore through her body. It felt as if her very bones were being stretched and shattered, reshaped into something entirely other.
She stumbled through the darkened woods, every sense heightened to an unbearable degree. The scent of pine and damp earth overwhelmed her, and every rustle of leaves was a deafening roar. Her muscles spasmed, her skin rippled, and with a scream that echoed through the night, her form twisted and changed. Claws extended from her fingertips, fur sprouted from her flesh, and her vision sharpened to an unnatural clarity.
Memories surged through her mind-fragmented images of a past she had long forgotten. A pair of golden eyes watching over her, a voice whispering ancient words of protection and warning. She remembered running through these same woods as a child, her senses alert and animalistic, but those memories had always seemed like dreams.
Now, as she crouched on all fours, feeling the cool night air against her new form, she understood. She was not human, not fully. The realization was both terrifying and exhilarating. She was the last of a forgotten lineage, a bloodline cursed and blessed by the moon.
But there was no time to process this revelation. The scent of fear and malice filled her nostrils, pulling her attention to the village below. Her instincts roared to life-something was coming, something dangerous. She turned, bounding through the forest with a speed that thrilled and terrified her.
She burst into a clearing, skidding to a halt as she saw them-figures cloaked in shadow, armed with silver weapons that gleamed ominously in the moonlight. The Moon's Watch. Her heart, or whatever wild thing it had become, pounded in her chest. They had come for her.
Fear threatened to consume her, but beneath it, a fierce determination surged. She would not be their prey. With a snarl that was both a challenge and a promise, she launched herself at the nearest figure, the night erupting into a whirlwind of claws, fangs, and flashing steel. The Lone Wolf Advantage
Adventure In the untamed wilderness where survival depends on cunning, strength, and independence, Lira, a lone wolf, has chosen the path of solitude. Rejecting the hierarchy and safety of her pack, she thrives in the wild by her own rules. But when an old alpha's desperate howl echoes through the mountains, Lira is drawn back into a world she vowed to leave behind.
As powerful new threats emerge, Lira must confront her deepest beliefs about strength, freedom, and the true meaning of survival. Can the lone wolf rely only on herself when the wilderness itself becomes her greatest challenge? Or will she discover that even the fiercest lone wolf needs the strength of others?
A gripping tale of independence, instinct, and the unbreakable bond between survival and community, The Lone Wolf Advantage explores what it means to walk alone-and what it takes to find your place in a world of predators. You might like

His Innocent Obsession
Estelle Hayes Isla Hart has spent her entire life protected from the truth. Sheltered in the cold, opulent mansion her father built with wealth stained by secrets, she has never known the world outside the safety of her gilded cage. She's been raised in the comfort of ignorance-her innocence preserved like a precious gem, untouched by the horrors lurking just beneath the surface. But nothing lasts forever.
Her father, a man with debts deeper than anyone knows, has been in the claws of a dangerous criminal syndicate for years. And now, with everything collapsing around him, he makes an unthinkable decision to save himself: he will auction off his daughter's virginity to the highest bidder. The price of her body is nothing compared to the price of her father's survival.
At twenty-one, Isla is thrust into a world she never knew existed-one where power and corruption reign, and she is nothing more than a transaction, a pawn in a game she doesn't understand. An underground auction, hidden in the dark corners of New York's criminal elite, will determine her fate. But as the bidding begins, there's one man who stands out from the rest.
Vincenzo "Vince" Moretti is not like the others.
A mafia don who commands respect through bloodshed and fear, Vince is a man who has made his fortune off ruthlessness. At thirty-seven, he has built an empire that stretches across continents, feared by everyone who dares cross him. Cruel, cold, and indifferent, Vince has never allowed weakness to cloud his judgment. But when his eyes land on Isla, everything shifts. She is an innocent, untouched by the darkness of the world he controls. She's everything he shouldn't want, but something about her purity calls to him.
Vince outbids every man in the room, securing Isla as his own. She is no longer just a piece of property for sale-she is now his possession. A contract signed in blood, a life bound by the chains of obligation, desire, and power.
To Isla, the world as she knew it shatters. Her father's debts are wiped clean in exchange for her innocence, but in the cold, unyielding world of Vince's mafia empire, she is now nothing more than a beautiful hostage-trapped in a life of submission. But with Vince, things are different. He is cruel to everyone else, manipulative and tyrannical in his dealings. Yet, when it comes to Isla, there's a strange gentleness. A possessive tenderness. He keeps her close, under his watchful eye, as if she's a rare, delicate thing that no one else can touch.
But his protection comes at a price.
Vince will not let her go. He will mold her, shape her, and possess her in ways she never thought possible. With every passing day, the line between desire and control blurs. Vince isn't just taking her body-he wants her heart, her mind, her soul. And as the days turn to weeks, Isla finds herself torn between survival and submission. She is drawn to him in a way she cannot escape, yet terrified of what she's becoming.
But a storm is coming.
Luca Santoro-Vince's former ally, now his deadliest rival-has been waiting for a weakness. A crack in Vince's otherwise unbreakable armor. And he has found it in Isla.
Luca knows that Vince's obsession with Isla is his greatest vulnerability. He will stop at nothing to break her spirit and use her to bring Vince to his knees. His plan is simple: destroy Vince's empire by destroying Isla. Luca doesn't just want to own Isla-he wants to destroy what she means to Vince, and he will stop at nothing to make her his.
The clock is ticking.
As the tension between Vince and Luca escalates, Isla's world becomes even more dangerous. The mafia's brutal games are no longer just about loyalty and power-they're about survival. But the deeper Isla falls into Vince's world, the more she realizes that the man who controls everything around her is also controlling her heart. She cannot leave him, yet she knows that staying might cost her everything.
Is she willing to lose herself in a man who sees her as both a possession and a passion?
In a world where love and pain collide, Isla must decide if she can find freedom in submission or if her innocence will be the very thing that destroys her
