What would you do if you were fated to someone whose heart belongs to another? Would you fight for control, or simply exit, stage left? This is the big question playing through Luciano's mind. Luciano is a werewolf. His mate is human. A married human. Will fate prevail? Or will he walk away?

Sometimes fate just has to mess with a good thing. Hopefully it has a good reason. Hello, my name is Amber Rayne, and this is my story. 
As I stood in front of my stove watching the gurgling pot of sauce, I couldnt help but sigh in contentment at how my life was going. Perfect husband, works hards, and loves harder. 

As I stand in the field surrounded by a multitude of bodies and covered in blood, I can't help but think of what brought me here. My mate. Or lack thereof. I have searched to the ends of the earth since the day I turned 18 but to no avail. She doesn't exsist. It's the only reason I can imagine. Why the MoonGoddess feels I do not deserve love is beyond my ability to understand.

Already Taken

I hit the back door in mere leaps. Adrenaline and fear mingling inside me, causing a bottomless well of rage, the likes of which my pack has never seen. I see fear, shock and disbelief on many faces as I race by, shifting and giving up control to Xavier. The destruction he will cause will be comparable to none. I will become the monster once again. Even give up my humanity. For her. I just hope one day she can forgive me for what I'm about to do. 


Blackness. It surrounds me in its ice. As I start to regain my consciousness, despair washes over me. Surely this must be a mistake. 


I strain to open my eyes, the headache blurring my vision. As it all falls back to normal, I can't contain the shocked gasped that falls from my lips. I'm restrained. My hands are clasped above my head and latched to the cement ceiling. My legs are chained together by my ankles. My chest shakes with the sobs that now wrack my body. How could he do this? None of this makes any sense.
