For weeks on end, Hugo was on tender hooks; Sarai and him had numerous fights and arguments about her security measures, his family was questioning him on his financial status and where he was living; his mother crying and fighting every day on the phone and the growing threats and loss of pack members hanging over his head; Hugo felt as if the weight of the entire world now rested upon his shoulders and he was getting crushed by the weight of it all.Every time Sarai brought up the ridiculous security measures put in place she and Hugo ended fighting, she had started seeing less and less of him as the weeks turned into months; tonight, Sarai had planned a special dinner, she wanted to show Hugo her love and appreciation and that she was sincerely sorry for all the stress she had added to his life, she sat all dressed up in a pink skirt with thigh high slits on the right hand side and a lace zip up blouse to match and Perspex heels with stud work, her hair was set pin straight and she
Sarai was alone in the dark passageway that led to the bunker, she was cold and scared... she sat on the bed in the bunker and waited... her heart filled with anxiety and her thoughts running wild.If she was to be the Luna of this pack she would have to show up in the face of danger, Hugo was always protecting her... she needed to protect him as well.Against her better judgement, Sarai went out of the bunker and snuck into the room; under her side of the bed, she had a pistol hidden, she loaded the bullets when she heard something go bump downstairs... She was not alone in the house... someone or something had come in and judging by the presence she felt... it was here looking for her.Sarai walked out the room slowly into the hallway of the dimly lit house, she saw the shadow of a wolf lurking downstairs, she knew it wasn't Hugo... she held her pistol loaded to fire as she walked down the stairs, "Show yourself"The wolf hidden behind the fining room wall, grinned and morphed back
The sound of the ECG machine kept resonating in Sarai’s head, she thought back to the day when everything her life turned upside down.Flashback StartsHugo was poisoned because she wanted to prove that she was worthy of being the Luna of the pack, instead she placed the man she loves in harm’s way. Hugo opened his eyes, Sarai’s eyes were red from crying, she held her rosary in her hand as she held Hugo’s hand in her left hand and prayed for his well-being.Hugo opened his eyes and looked at Sarai who was chanting and praying as she rubbed small circles on the back of his hand, this perfect woman was trying and doing everything she could to fit into his world, a world he is still trying to find his own feet in. Leaving her at the house with no form of protection was his biggest mistake and what if something had happened to her… what if he did not get there in time; he was so weak that a small bit of the wolfsbane rendered him immobile and unconscious; it was Sarai that saved him.His
Many months passed, Hugo was losing his mind and the Madcrest manes had become more aggressive; Hugo had become withdrawn and slept with more she-wolves and human woman than he could count. Sarai had achieved her dreams, and she was moving on with life; or at least trying.Sitting in her room Sarai looked back at her life and how she believed things would have been different by now between her and Hugo, instead she found out that he was leading her on and then leaving her hanging; by this time, she had decided to give it one last shot, she was going to fly back to Rockshore and do whatever it takes to win Hugo back. She packed up her bags and headed to Rockshore.Hugo was in bed smoking after sleeping with three women at the same time; he left them sleeping in his bed, it had been a week since he read any of Sarai’s texts and a month since he returned any of her calls. Hugo stood on his balcony and looked at his phone; he saw messages from Sarai and that she would be in town in a few

Welcome to Rockshore Bay. A charming little coastal city; where all seems well, but this city hides the supernatural that protects it. Introducing, caramel skinned Hugo Griffin; black hair and dreamy sea green eyes, but not your traditional Alpha that assumes the responsibility of a pack because of birth right. Hugo Griffin is a bitten werewolf, one that rose to being the Alpha of the most powerful packs on the east coast, the Ocean Crest Pack. Powerful Pack Alpha by night, but even he has a darkness within; a darkness he tries to hide, but one that threatens day by day it consumes him.Across the city, further inland. Meet Sarai Carter, a raven haired, feisty young woman with eyes that were as sapphire blue and as deep as the ocean. Longing to be loved, finally free of the bonds of a toxic relationship with a brute of a man. Now stuck at home, without a job and trying to find her place after rediscovering her power. Ready to venture into the changing world on her own yet again. A dar
A forest of lush trees and berry bushes, running and panting; trying to outrun the beast that had just bitten him. He stops by a tree; trying to catch his breath, the burning sensation in his chest as he tries to calm his breathing; lifting up his bloodied blue shirt, he tried to get a look at the bite that was now starting to burn, he ran his fingers tenderly over the mark, wincing at the pain; the bushes behind him rustled; there was no breeze, the night was calm and still, he looked up at the sky, the moon was full and the sky clear, not a star nor cloud in sight. Slowly looking over his shoulder, he saw two glowing red eyes and heard a low growl, backing away and keeping his eyes fixed on the glowing eyes that peered at him, the beast, before the boy could turn and run the beast leaped forward and then it ended, waking up horrified and sweating, his breath deep and heavy, Hugo had been having the same nightmare for the past two years, he had tried everything, light reading before
On the other side of the city, back home from her life abroad, Sarai was trying her best to settle into her life at home, adjusting to living with her parents again and having a full house rather than a quiet apartment, a full-time boyfriend that was proving to be more of a hinderance in her life than her little haven of peace. Sarai thought of her life back in the Middle East and all her exciting adventures that she embarked on around the world in her glamourous life of a Pilot, but also how insecure her boyfriend had been of her long hours and that most of her co-pilots were males and even the crew she was surrounded by men; he always made her cry before and after her long haul flights, she had cancelled multiple plans on layovers with colleagues and friends just to prove her loyalty to him; what was she expecting from getting into a relationship with a man over social media and only meeting him once before leaving. Now that she was back home, she thought the relationship would actu
