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Many months passed, Hugo was losing his mind and the Madcrest manes had become more aggressive; Hugo had become withdrawn and slept with more she-wolves and human woman than he could count.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
Weeks turned into months, every day was a struggle for Hugo; between the pack matters and the hotel being busy; the financial burdens from his family crushing him, some days he just wished the earth would open up and swallow him, hell had to be better than where he was… Today marks three years since Hugo’s dad passed away, he woke up feeling the void in his life. Hugo got out of bed by midday and prepared a few snacks, his dads favourite whiskey; a quick shower and slipping on black board shorts and a black t-shirt, Hugo got into his silver BMW x7 2022 edition and headed off to the pack house. It was a twenty-minute drive down to the private beach. Hugo just needed to get out the house and reach out to his father for some sort of guidance. Hugo reached the pack house, by this time of day most of pack members had gone off to their day jobs; kids at school and it will be a little peaceful. Hugo had his private house just a few meters away from the huge pack house, Hugo’s house faced the
All through Winter and Spring Sarai was miserable, her birthday being the absolute worst, Bruce called on the morning of her birthday; making her feel lousy for having a birthday to celebrate her life all because his father had passed away; Bruce expected Sarai to be in mourning with him. No matter how much Sarai tried to explain that she was in no way disrespecting the mourning period, Bruce was always drunk and flaunting how wealthy he was. The day before her birthday Sarai and Bruce went on a “date”, Sarai attempted to make things work, but the very second that Bruce tried to hold her hand or kiss her, just repulsed her and she pulled back instantly and made excuses, this was also done of many of the previous “dates” that Sarai went on with Bruce, each time she was more miserable than the last, Sarai thought back to the last lunch date with Bruce, where he refused to pick her up, or even bring her flowers… ever, claiming that they would die and just a huge waste of money.On many
