This bundle includes Werewolf Lover, Two Alphas and a Rabbit, Two Werewolves and a Cat Shifter, and Lost Little Cat.~~~~~ Excerpt ~~~~~She hears him curse and her gaze flutters up."James? Did I- did that hurt?" she asks, prepared to pull her hands free."Harder, love," his voice is rough. "Squeeze your fingers around me. That's it."Her breath catches. He looks like he's in pain, but when she does what she's told, he lets out a low growl that conveys nothing but absolute pleasure, muscles tensing as he shivers under her touch. "Does- does that feel good?" she asks, fingers trembling as she brings it down and up again. His jaw clenches, head slipping back as he arches up into her touch like a cat.Her heart is pounding, blood buzzing under flushed skin as the air in the room becomes stifling."Can I be on top?" she asks and he flips them so quickly that she feels like she's still spinning for a second after he's stopped.She feels more in control this way, straddling him instead of being on her back with his heavy weight on top of her.

Two Alphas And A Rabbit
Updated at Dec 29, 2022, 22:39
Kaylie finds her situation utterly impossible. Here she is, an eighteen-year-old Rabbit Shifter marooned on an uninhabited island in the middle of nowhere, alone with two Alpha Werewolves. There's William, who is gentle and kind and has no trouble showing his affections towards her. And there is this other man, so wolf-like that he makes her shudder just with a single look.~~~~~ Excerpt ~~~~~"Mind if I ask a question?""Depends on the question," she says, ears lifting high. The sun is getting higher, drawing sweat from her brows.He grins, amused. "Do you feel indebted to William?"Somehow, she had expected the question, yet put into words, it becomes terrible to answer. "I don't feel indebted to Will, I know I am," she says at last. "I don't suppose you've ever been put in a situation where you know everything and everyone is working against you and you're powerless to do anything about it?" she doesn't need him to answer to know that it's no. Alpha Werewolves so seldom find themselves disadvantaged about anything. They're just as rare as she is and their natural leadership skills cultivated from a young age in a special School. It is the opposite for her kind. Rabbit Shifters are meant to submit and serve. "Our government thinks rabbit Shifters are good as wives and breeders and very little else," she says. "They were grooming me to be a wife and Will offered me a life outside of that."He listens to her as he strikes the tree again, pausing to catch his breath after she's stopped talking.She feels like she's shared too much, but it's too late to eat her words."And you don't see the hypocrisy of doing exactly that?" he asks.She frowns and tilts her head, his question making little sense to her. Until it does and her cheeks go beet red at the implication. "Don't be ridiculous. Will seems me as a surrogate daughter. He practically raised me! He doesn't seem me like that.""Would you like me to help fix that?" he asks, like he's offering to help her with her nails."You're a terrible person," she exclaims, to her own surprise.He comes towards her and gazes down at her, one dark eyebrow lifted. "Isn't that why you've decided to go with him, even after he's set you free?""You seem to be under the assumption that I could go anywhere I set my heart to as long as I work hard enough," she asks, unable to keep the mocking tone from her voice at the last phrase. The counsellor at school had been under the same impression and thought it wasteful when she didn't apply for that 'special school' the government set up for Rabbit Shifters in the city. She refuses to be the one to look away. "How many Shifters like me have you met who's not a wife or a housekeeper? A mistress or some sort of sex worker?" she demands.He falters for the first time she's seen him, blinking like he hasn't thought of that at all. "You're right," he says, and then, softer, because it probably causes him physical pain to not be in the right all the time, he adds, "I'm sorry."She stops bristling. "Being under Will's guardianship is the safest I can be. I'm young, not stupid. Even if the system didn't manage to swallow me and spit me back out the way they want me, there are obstacles well beyond my powers in the world. People like me considered exotic," she says. "I've had- offers, even before I became of age and that is bound to worsen now that I'm legal in the eyes of the law."

She wished she had the attention of her course instructor instead, but the Alpha Werewolf is too far out of her league… Or is he?~~~~~ Excerpt ~~~~~"Do you- do you want to see?" she murmurs."Would you let me?" he asks. "I understand it goes beyond your face and shoulder. You don't have to show me," he says."I wouldn't have asked if I didn't want you to see me," she murmurs, cheeks burning.

Werewolf Lover
Updated at Dec 8, 2022, 17:41
When Tina decides take a job in the middle of nowhere, it is very much the change for the better. The only jarring note is the abrasive relationship that promptly grows between her and her new employer, the disconcerting Alpha Werewolf who is adamant on finding fault in everything she does.  Yet there is an undeniable attraction between them that neither of them is prepared for.~~~~~ PG Excerpt ~~~~~"What's wrong, darling?" he hums, looking down at her with passion-dark, confused eyes."I'm... I'm afraid," she confesses."Afraid of what? Me?"She shakes her head, and feels guilty for spoiling the moment. "Oh um- your knot?" she whispers. "You're very big," she murmurs."I'll be gentle, love," his hand curls around the back of her neck, thumb gently kneading the downy fur that's intermingled with her hair there. "I'll never harm you," he says. "I can't promise that it won't hurt, but if you ever want to stop, we can stop right away, okay?"She nods, numb to everything but that smoldering look. She trusts him, a thousand, a million percent, but this- this is all so new to her. Everything about him is new to her."Is there anything else?" he asks.She licks her lips, and her eyes flickering to his before dropping to his pants. She doesn't need to get the words out, thankfully, because he's standing and unfastening the buttons, expert fingers taking off not just his pants, but his shirt and boxers, going completely naked in front of her.

Dominants and Submissives Complete Bundle
Updated at Oct 8, 2022, 04:07
Innocent young women are willingly humiliated by the strong alpha men in this four-book bundle. Here, you will find Tanya, who is stripped and taken by strangers while being filmed, Kira, who is willing to do anything to get a job, Anita, who wants nothing more than to submit to her boss's every whim, and Anastasia, who is mistaken for another and indoctrinated into the mile high club.~~~~~ Excerpt ~~~~~He steps back and away, walking around them the way a wolf would circle prey, looking for weaknesses. She stands tall and waits to be dismissed, only to see him standing in front of them once again, not five feet away with an expression of amusement on his face."Right then," he says, leaning back to rest his elbows on his desk. "I'd like you to strip."She stops breathing altogether. His voice is as dreamy as the rest of him, deep and menacing, trembling through her body like an electric current. He isn't kidding. Trent was right. He really doesn't want them there and is trying to scare them all into leaving.Beside her, she can hear the other women's indignant protests, some "How dare you!" and a couple of, "Oh my god! You must be crazy to think-" and several, "You can't be serious."Kira doesn't really care for all that. She takes off her jacket and folds it across her arm, carefully folding it by halves until it is a neat little square. She bends down to put it by her feet. The carpet is a soft texture on her fingers. Odd, the things she notices when she is doing something that is making her heart beat out of her chest. Her fingers shake a little when she grabs the hems of her top and tugs it up and over her head, leaving her in only her bra.She wears her good bras during interviews, for which she is incredibly glad for right now. Her black slacks comes off next and she folds that carefully too, ignoring the way the others are staring at her in a blatant state of shock as she slowly takes off one article of clothing after another, leaving her in only her bra and undies. They don't match, but they're pretty enough, still so new that the colors haven't faded from them yet.He looks almost proud at her and she manages to look up and meet his gaze. "Do you want me to take my underwear off too?" she asks, sounding a million times braver than she feels.If the rest of the women aren't going to do what he asks, then she would be the one to get hired for the job. The promise of the six thousand dollar pay check fuels her bravery.Unfortunately, the others have gotten on with the program too, taking off their clothes with trembling fingers and unflinching gazes, as if to say, 'You are not going to get this job so easily'.Two of them choose to leave, turning around and leaving the room in a fit of rage. The only thing stopping them from slamming the door shut is the fact that the door can't be slammed shut in the first place. The automatic doors slide close, evicting them without a fuss

The Werewolves' Submissive
Updated at Jan 17, 2022, 18:47
Eighteen-year-old Nina is just being a supportive friend when she follows Myra into a Werewolf club. She's neither a werewolf nor a trained submissive, so she won't be noticed at all.Instead, she captures the attention of two of the most powerful werewolves in the club. She is completely out of her league with the experienced older Alphas, especially when ropes, clamps, and toys get involved.~~~~~ PG Excerpt ~~~~~"I'm afraid the only thing they have other than champagne is water," Peter says suddenly, appearing out of nowhere to stand beside her. He hands her a glass and smiles at her, apparently delighted by interrupting the moment between Peter and her. He winks at her when she takes a sip of the drink and tastes burning alcohol down her throat."She's just a child, Adam," Peter says suddenly, looking ready to take her drink."I'm eighteen," she says. "Not a child," she mutters. "Some eighteen-year-olds already have mates.""And yet she's here," Adam tells him, deliberately ignoring her response."She's here for a friend," Peter answers.She glares at both of them. "I'm right here," she says petulantly.All of a sudden, Adam is looking at her with an expression that is wholly sinful. "I know you are, darling girl," he says, stepping up to her to whisper in her ear. "Be patient and finish your drink," he says, breath warm against her skin.She quiets and brings the glass up to her lips, downing the rest of it without thought.Adam switches it out with a full cup and a wink."Are you trying to get the girl drunk, Adam?" Peter asks, sounding exasperated, but resigned.The relationship between the two men is peculiar. At times, it seems almost as if they couldn't stand to be close to each other, but the way they talk reminds her of old couples."That's water," Adam reassures him.She takes a careful sip to be sure and is almost disappointed when she finds that he's telling the truth."Don't look like that, darling," Adam laughs. "You're designated driver, are you not?" he reminds her gently.She nods. "You're right," she says. She feels a little lightheaded from downing the alcoholic drink so quickly and finds herself blinking blearily up at Peter when he places a knuckle on her chin to tip her head up."You're a lightweight, aren't you?" he says fondly."I'm not," she says, and then frowns mightily. "Maybe I am," she pouts."Why don't you sit down," Adam offers, taking her glass less she drop it and guiding her by her elbow to the nearest seat.

The Werewolf's Prisoner
Updated at Jan 17, 2022, 18:47
Princess Imra is a half-shifter, a human with furry animal ears and a tassel tail that gives away the lioness purring inside of her. At eighteen-years-old, she has never left her castle, let alone her land. Fate has other plans. She is assigned as a part of a peace envoy Wolf Kingdom, but they are attacked and she is taken hostage by a powerful Alpha Werewolf who would make her his mate.~~~~~ Excerpt ~~~~~"Who are you?" he asks, his grip on her face still firm, so she can't look away and think of a suitable lie."My name is Imra. I'm a healer-"He catches the lie. His fingers pinch her chin tight enough to hurt. Tears burn in her eyes. "The truth," he warns."I'm telling the truth," she whispers. She hasn't started with the lying parts yet. "My name is Imra. I'm a-"He lets go of her as if she burns. "Even now you don't trust me," he says.The response comes a little late. "You haven't given me any reason to trust you.""Have I not?" he growls. His eyes are locked with hers, and there's something burning there, in the werewolf's gaze. She thinks it must be anger, because he's tried so hard to keep her safe and she's not appreciating his effort at all, or maybe he's just frustrated with how she keeps getting herself in trouble the moment he stops paying attention to her and-Oh, his lips are softer than she's imagined. It's all heat and strength and fiery, desperate passion, warm hands cupping her jaw as he presses their lips together, like a man starved, pushing her back until she is lying on his bed."I don't care if you're a mouse," he breathes against her lips.He feels so good, warm, kissing a trail down her neck and- "Oh!" she gasps. He thinks she's hiding what she is because she's a mouse. It's sort of insulting, really. He kisses the spot below her ear, where he can probably feel her heart beating a rapid tattoo, skin tingling hot and cold all at once."Is this okay?" he asks.Her brain stutters stop, confused for a moment. Then, she realizes he's asking if it's okay for him to kiss her, which is a ridiculous question considering he already has her in his bed and is kissing a trail of fire to her heart, tugging her linen down and tearing the fabric to expose more skin.He pauses and looks up, and she's confused about what he wants from her and- Oh! She shakes her head. "I've never-""Never what?" he asks, amused. "Never made love? Never kissed?"Any of those. She's never done any of those. But wait, she has, hasn't she? "Lord Owen stole my first kiss," she blurts out, and then her cheeks are burning because she sounds so much like a child.He smirks at that and flips over on the bed, pulling her with him so that she is splayed on top of him, straddling his torso with her knees on either side of him. He is trying to give her control, she knows that, and it warms her heart to know that he cares about her enough to want her comfortable. He opens his eyes and looks at her like she's a feast and he mean to enjoy her slowly. The light from the fire plays across his tanned skin, dark curls of his hair splashed on the cream sheets like fire.His hands rests on her hips, keeping her still, trapping her so she can't escape even if she wants to. She's not sure what she wants. She's never done this before. No man has ever been allowed to get close to her, let alone touch her like this.

Lovers, Knights, & Kings
Updated at Jan 17, 2022, 18:42
On the cusps of adulthood with nothing to show for her name, Princess Aryana, is faced with the disheartening notion of her future. Her eighteenth birthday is approaching and so then, is the call of her to be wedded. There are many men who are interested in marrying her. There's only one problem. She is in love with the King.~~~~~ Excerpt ~~~~~Once a year, they retreat to a castle in the woods and run in the forests. The king only ever brings a small envoy with him when he goes, unwilling to make it into more trouble than it is.They set off together in the beginning of Winter, right after her eighteenth birthday. They make quite a sight, a lion, a lioness, and a tiger travelling together. The three predators lounging in the forests means they are given a wide berth by every other creature. They catch something occasionally, but Leo would skin and cook the meat over fire before they would eat them.It is the second day of their trip that something out of the norm happens. Aryana asks for their horse and disappears into the city after their morning run before either of them could stop her, shouting something about getting more spices for the deer they brought down that morning.James's pacing is enough to drive everyone to insanity and Leo would lose his temper if he wasn't so worried either."It may be a good thing," he says quietly as he cuts into the muscles of the deer. He looks completely savage as he does this. His shirt lays abandoned by the side and even though he is careful, there are blood splatters on his chest."A good thing?" James mutter incredulously, growling at him for a second before gaining control of his beast and grimacing apologetically."We coddle the girl," he says. "It is good that she has friends she would like to meet without our company. We can be quite... overbearing.""What friends?" James snarls."She's allowed to have friends," Leo says patiently. He is one of the few people who can speak to their king in such a manner. Anyone else would have cowered and run at this point. A tiger can take a lion in a fight. "She needs friends, people her age who treat her as an equal. She needs to socialize and know people outside of the castle.""Why?"Leo struggles not to roll his eyes. "Because at some point, she is going to have to leave."James bare his teeth at Leo, fangs growing in his mouth and his eyes flashing golden. "She's not leaving," he snarls."Are you going to keep her as your ward for her entire life, my friend?" he asks, keeping his gaze low as he works on the meat, cutting it into  smaller, more manageable pieces. "Will you keep her in the castle forever? Are you going to wed her and keep her for yourself? I told you to keep her elsewhere until she is of age but you were too stubborn. And now she thinks of you as her father, what are you going to do?"James pulls back, cursing, and turns his face away. "You're right," he says so softly that Leo would not have heard him if he hasn't been paying so much attention. This is a disaster. At least she's stopped the ridiculous thing of calling him 'father'. That was an unpleasant time for everyone involved and fills him with guilt."If it's any consolation, I wish I wasn't," Leo says kindly.It's not, but he doesn't respond.

Surrender Complete Bundle
Updated at Dec 23, 2021, 19:35
From international espionage to time travel, these four standalone stories feature innocent young women surrendering to Alpha men in every way imaginable. Here, you will find: An Interview to Surrender, A Prison Interrogation Surrender, A Public Surrender, and Timeless Surrender.~~~~~ Excerpt ~~~~~"I might have a job for you," she says, "but there are some things they want you to do that you might be uncomfortable with," she says."What do they want me to do?" she narrows her eyes at Amanda, not liking where this is going.Amanda looks around, like they're spies on a secret mission. Jen has politely given them some distance and is pretending to be busy folding clothes in the corner of the room. There's faint music from the sound system, but the place is quiet enough otherwise that Sierra knows she'll be able to hear them without a problem."First of all, the men you'll be working with are strictly incognito, so if you do this job, nothing will ever be mentioned ever again," she says.If that doesn't sound like some sort of illegal operation, she doesn't know what does. From the corner of her eye, she notices Jen leaning closer, transfixed and curious despite herself."Second," she sighs and combs her fingers through her long hair. "I have to come clean to you that I only got this job because the last girl disappeared and no one else would touch it," she says. "Or they couldn't fit the requirements and pretended they didn't want it anyways," she shrugs. "I don't really care, but the money is too good to pass up and I want to bring it to you so you can decide on your own if you want it.""I'm not going to lie, Amanda, this sounds terrible."Amanda looks affronted. "I wouldn't have come to you if there wasn't something good about it, darling," she says.Sierra supposes she deserves that. "So far, all I've heard is that they're really picky with the kind of model they want and nobody else wants the job because their last girl disappeared. It sounds like some sort of trafficking syndicate." Somewhere in the room, Jen snorts and says an 'amen' loud enough to be heard.Amanda's face turns an angry tomato shade. "I wouldn't come to you with a dangerous job, Sierra," she says. "It's an international job and I suppose they wanted someone exotic. Someone who looks like you," she continues. "The previous payment went through without a hitch and the last girl disappearing was a norm. Previous models have returned from their projects. I'd show you who they are, but I signed non-disclosure agreements too. And the reason why I'm coming to you is because the pay is too good. It's fifty thousand for the job."

"Someone of her level spending so much money... I need someone to put them back in a good mood.""Like... entertainment and stuff?"He chuckles and put his hand on her shoulder, heavy and frightening.She inhales sharply through her teeth, suddenly even more afraid.

"I don't- I didn't mean," she starts."You want an out? This is it," he says and does away with the rest of her buttons.

Alpha Werewolves & Littles Complete Bundle
Updated at Sep 15, 2021, 05:13
An Alpha by any other name would be just as obsessed. These Littles are just begging to be pampered and loved, owned and possessed in every way imaginable. In this complete bundle, you will find Alpha Werewolves with their Little Kittens, Rabbits, and Winged Shifters. ~~~~~ PG Excerpt ~~~~~ Excerpt from Alpha Werewolves & Little Angels: Damian's first memory of her on a picture printed on a huge file. She was just a ball of cells then, so small that she's barely visible in the large tank she's kept in, floating in the middle of a mass of orange goo that appears to glow because of the twin light sources at the top and bottom of the tank. She was so small that they zoomed into the picture and magnified the picture in a separate section, making sure he can see there's something  in the tank- that it's not empty. The man in charge, a businessman who had gotten the project going under the guise of something else is explaining all the things they'll be doing with her. There are werewolves in the world, why shouldn't there be other shifters, he says. She will be the first bird-human hybrid, because people have always been obsessed with flight and wings and she will be able to have both. He can't see it yet, but she will have wings soon and they're accelerating her growth process until she'll be at growth in a few weeks. Once she's fully grown, they're going to study her, and then take her apart to study her, clone her, sell her as a sort of exotic pet for the rich. He tells Damian many things, but he's not listening because he's staring at the papers in his hand in horror. He didn't approve of this. He has no memory of approving this experiment- very much the opposite, in fact. When the first proposal was laid on his desk, he had fired the man who suggested it. And now- now it had gone ahead regardless in a department that didn't know when to stop. It's an experiment, a life form created in a laboratory by splicing the best of human genetics with animal genes that will make her more animal than human. Make her animal enough that she won't have basic human rights. Genetic manipulation of this sort just isn't done. It's playing at being God. He had assumed that the department would be disbanded after his clear rejection of the very idea. He thought too highly of his team, perhaps. Everyone knew it was wrong and shouldn't be done, but they can't help but be curious as well. What would happen if the program wasn't shut down? The first steps have been taken already, after all. It is not as though they don't have the equipment or the money to get it done. They didn't even need to do much. Just close one eye and let it happen. And now- He flips through the rest of the pages. It's a thick file, a documented progression of her growth from one tiny ball of cells. Now, there is a team of scientists who doesn't know that he's here to tell them to pack up and go home because he's shutting down the program once and for all after discovering something wrong in the numbers. It's not tallying up. There's a whole separate department that he thought he had put a stop to months ago. Now, there is a living being in a cage, blinking up at him with innocent large eyes.
