MATURE CONTENT/Paranormal Mated Romance

"A stunning but dark coming-of-age story."

"The pages are dripping with suspense. The ending is brutal."

Tiny Calway’s coming-of-age is days away from the Harvest Festival. She knows that she must hide her abilities to protect her loved-ones and herself. Despite her alpha's warning, Tiny finds herself contracted to a rival alpha who's determined to break her. The two, an alpha and a commoner, become an unlikely duo when members begin to disappear days before the ceremony. She finds herself asking more questions rather than receiving answers.Tiny knows something sinister is approaching, and she's set on finding her answers even if it's from the most unlikely candidate.

Why does she feel a pull to this man?

And what's awaiting for them in the shadows?

....

Excerpt:

A shudder escapes my lips. Chills shoot down my spine as I stare at a pair of foreign eyes. My reflection appears small at the sign of a charred woman. Her scorched skin rippled with sparking embers, and blistered lips curled into a snarl.

The guilt of survival clawed my throat. For once in my life, I met a spirit clinging to my existence. A reminder that I surpassed the odds of death and cheated my fate. Whimpers erupt from my throat. My body is frozen in time while the sound of my blood swims in my ears. A cruel reminder of the curse I’ve been entrusted to dwell in. So many worthy individuals met their end while mine had only begun.

A piercing pain burned through my skin as the enchanting woman placed her blackened fingertips into my shoulder. Her long nails dug into my flesh fiercely. Surges of blood stain the sink cabinets as tears sprung to my eyes- watching the young woman who used every last breath to cry into my ear. “Run!”

Her touch sent me crumbling to the floor with a roaring pain in my temple. The last thing I remember is splintering door hinges and two pairs of feet before me. The bare-footed singed woman, and steel-toed boots of a powerful alpha.
