"Shift." His voice hit me like a serrated blade as he stepped out of the crude semicircle of hardened wolves that had formed around me. I pushed myself off of the cold floor for what felt like the thousandth time that day, wiping the small trail of blood coming off of my lip and down my chin. "I won't ask you again." My limbs felt like lead, these wolves had been at me for hours trying to get me to shift into my wolf, unbeknown to them was that their efforts would forever be futile considering the fact my wolf wouldn't make an appearance for me even when I begged. I seriously doubted she would suddenly pop up as a result of their abusive tactics. Instead of explaining my circumstances, driven by a bizarre combination of adrenaline and fatigue, I leaned back on my heels and sent the largest loogie I'd ever conjured flying over and landing squarely between the eyes of the man before me. oOoOoOoOoOo As a late bloomer who was incapable of shifting yet, let alone making any contact with her wolf, Olive Ludovic's life was not off to the best start. Growing up, constantly being tormented and taunted by those around her forced Olive to grow a tough skin and work even harder, despite the fact she was without her wolf. When her home is taken over by a dark pack, life seems to only get worse for Olive as it is quickly discovered that her mate is none other than Matteo, the Alpha of the very pack that was terrorizing her people. It seems to her, that life is just a little bit easier for Olive the Other Werewolves. oOoOoOo hello! just fyi there will be mature language and content as the book progresses so i'm letting ya know now ;) HIGHEST WEREWOLF RANKING = 2, LOVE RANKING = 3 (out of 1.8 million books XD), MAGIC RANKING = 1, ROMANCE RANKING = 1 (out of 1.5 million books XD), VAMPIRE RANKING =1!

Elena è un'abile restauratrice d'arte a Venezia, la cui vita è dedicata a riportare in vita la bellezza celata in antiche tele e affreschi. Meticolosa e solitaria, è un'ancora nel caos, ma avverte una persistente incompletezza che nemmeno la sua arte può colmare. Tutto cambia quando il suo quieto mondo viene violato da un colpo sordo nel cupo Palazzo Nero. Oltrepassando una soglia proibita, Elena si ritrova faccia a faccia con Draven: una figura imponente con la pelle simile a ossidiana levigata, corna ramificate come un cervo demoniaco e occhi che ardono come lava fusa. Draven è un essere antico, un frammento di un'era dimenticata, e ha una sola, brutale intenzione: fare di Elena la sua. Rapita e imprigionata nel suo sontuoso e labirintico palazzo, Elena è costretta a diventare la restauratrice personale del mostro. Ma la sua cattività è più che fisica: Draven la reclama con un morso, un marchio irrevocabile che sigilla un legame oscuro e incomprensibile. Intrappolata tra la paura e un'attrazione inspiegabile e selvaggia, Elena deve lottare per la sua sanità mentale e la sua libertà. Mentre Draven la sfida a guardare nell'abisso e a svelare i segreti del Palazzo Nero-restaurando un'antica pergamena arcana e il ritratto di una donna misteriosa-Elena scopre che il suo destino è legato a quello del suo possessore. Il mostro è anche un uomo vulnerabile e ossessionato, che desidera essere visto per la sua vera natura. Riuscirà Elena a usare la sua arte e la sua tenacia per sfuggire al controllo di Draven, o finirà per arrendersi al fascino oscuro della "Bestia di Ossidiana", accettando il suo posto come prigioniera, amante e, forse, come la sua regina?

"It's strange. Lance isn't even talking about any specific thing, noun, nor universe. Just the word: strange. It's strange that the Blue Lion chose him, it's strange that he's a Paladin of Voltron, it's strange that the Red Lion chose him over Allura, and it's even stranger that Lance didn't see his sexuality crisis coming. On top of all of that, it's entirely strange and ironic that Lance is the one that gets captured. Because really, if the Galra want any real and potentially harmful information, they should've snatched Hunk, or high tech Pidge. If they really got lucky, Keith, in all his Black Lion Paladin glory. Though Lance has an inkling that Keith would never sell them out, even under torture. He's cool like that. But nope, they got lil 'ol Lancey Lance, spare tire of Voltron and completely useless as a hostage. Imagine that. It's been exactly three vargas since he woke up, head pounding and mouth full of cotton, and Lance has seen neither hide nor fursona of any Galra. From what snippets he's learned about Shiro's time with the Empire, he's not sure that this time lapse is a good thing or not. Probably not." \\\\\\ It was supposed to be a safe and easy mission. Famous last words, huh? Wherein Lance gets double kidnapped by the Generals and realizes they might not be too bad.
