In a world where love is a death sentence… they chose it anyway.

In the ruins of New York, survival isn’t living—it’s enduring.

For five hundred years, the world has belonged to monsters: the undead, the infected, and the machines that were meant to save humanity. Cue is the last uninfected sentry, alone in a crumbling dome… until the night everything is taken from her.

Rescued by a ruthless red-haired warrior and a dangerously powerful cyborg, Cue is thrust into a new reality—one where trust is fragile, desire is inevitable, and love might be the most dangerous risk of all.

Trigger is fierce, unpredictable, and hiding her own scars.
Gunner is a weapon in human skin, built to destroy—but drawn to protect her.

Together, the three form an unbreakable bond in a broken world… one that defies every rule of survival.

But the wasteland is watching.

From sadistic warlords to underground horrors… from twisted sanctuaries to a mad doctor who plays god with flesh and steel—every step forward pulls them deeper into a nightmare.

And when betrayal strikes at the worst possible moment, Cue is taken by something even more terrifying than death itself… a creature who shouldn’t be able to think, feel—or promise salvation.

Now, love isn’t just a weakness.
It’s the only thing standing between them and total annihilation.

In a world built on extinction… will they choose survival—or each other?

Laila Danvers is the only female werewolf over the last century to exist. But being born as a descendant of the most hunted Mutt(werewolf outcast) automatically puts a red flag on her name throughout her existence. She gets tired of a hide-in lifestyle and runs from New Orleans “The city of fangs”, to the quiet town of Malibu, Southern California.
Just as she gets comfortable with her new lifestyle, she receives a life-threatening call that puts her on the run again. A life she’d practically been living on the edge.
Laila Danvers lives in Malibu, Southern California, and writes for a local newspaper. A normal job for a normal person. A persona she had struggled to build for over five years. She tries to deal with her wolf-like violent self and strives to assimilate into the human world. It wasn’t as easy as she’d thought it’d be. She couldn’t completely suppress that part of her, such that she’d curse at herself. She even as much as started taking pills to suppress the unconscious part of her that would want to change.

Arya was raised to hate werewolves.

They were the monsters who slaughtered her parents. The beasts she hunted in the dark, masked and merciless. The enemies she swore to destroy.

Then, in the middle of a battle, she became one of them.

Her first shift shatters everything she thought she knew about her past, her blood, and herself. When her uncle reveals the truth behind her parents’ deaths, Arya is given one final mission: infiltrate the Whitestone pack, gain their trust, and bring the werewolf kingdom to its knees from within.

The plan is simple. Get close, learn their secrets and kill the Alpha and open the gates for Rodrick's infiltration.

But Alpha Kyle of Whitestone is nothing like the monster she imagined.

Cold-eyed yet honorable, feared yet fiercely protective, Kyle senses something dangerous and familiar about the mysterious warrior woman who fights like she has nothing to lose. Drawn to her despite his instincts warning him away, he allows Arya into his pack, unaware that she is both his greatest threat… and his fated mate.

As Arya trains among the very wolves she once hunted, lines blur. Loyalty clashes with vengeance. Desire wars with duty. And buried truths begin to claw their way to the surface.

Because Arya isn’t just a spy.

She is the lost princess of Whitestone, stolen as a child, raised on lies, and groomed to destroy her own bloodline.

When betrayal tears the kingdom apart and war spills through the palace gates, Arya must choose: finish the revenge she was raised for… or embrace the destiny written in her blood.

In a world of secrets, shifting loyalties, and forbidden love, the greatest enemy may not be the wolves she hunts, but the truth she’s been running from.

I am still here by the threads of my existence, tied to living by the penance, grief-stricken heart. It’s been almost 20 years since the light of my existence left this world in such a way that brutality and suffering can only touch the surface of her last hours. My escuing women wronged irrevocably by the likes of men like those who took my Alley from me. I was ready to meet her again on the other side. About to take my last ride, when a blonde ran into me a week ago, covered in bruises she tried to hide. The moon goddess kept finding reasons to prolong the inevitable…my overdue ending. Adelaide, however, had hit my heart harder than all the others. A seemingly human woman, obviously abused. So I helped her escape the Alpha. The entire thing was a puzzle I was still trying to piece together; my only conclusion was that Adelaide didn’t know what she was.

I returned to end him. A fucking CEO alpha wolf with too many layers of security for me to get through. That's why I’m sitting in an alley across from her best friend's apartment when I see and scent two bears roll up. She’s a hacker; I need her help. I’m already seeing red as I hear their words.

But nothing prepared me for what I was faced with now. A human woman and her cub. A combination that was as good as a death sentence in our world. If the wrong bears got their hands on them, they were worse than dead. Alley wouldn’t accept that future, so I wouldn’t either. What I didn’t expect was how deeply they would burrow into the shattered depths of my heart.

Caleb Hart and Ryan Delgado built a love louder than the punk beats shaking their Seattle dive bar, The Static. “You’re my echo,” Caleb whispered, and Ryan’s kiss answered—raw, fearless, theirs.

Can their love hold the line, or will the noise tear them apart?

“No panties,” he murmured. “Good girl.” “I didn’t do it for you.” His fingers moved, slow and precise, parting my legs with quiet ownership. “Your body did.” I moaned, hating the way it felt when he found the center of my Clits and circled it like a threat. He bent me forward over the chaise, no words. Just a low command: “Stay.” I froze, nails digging into the velvet. He lifted the hem of the dress slowly, until it rested above my hips."....
