Vet Dr. Taylor, is a compassionate animal lover whose life takes a dramatic turn when she discovers that the injured dog she cared for after a fatal accident is, in fact, a werewolf.

As she puts together the complexities of this new found reality, she finds herself torn between her passion for animals and the unforeseen challenges presented by an unforgiving wolf pack.

Chapter 1 Chap

Mark sped down the road, one hand on the wheel and the other resting on the windowsill.

A toothpick hanging from his mouth dangling from left to right unrythmically.

Taylor knew this was his way of blowing off steam without speaking, so she just let him do his thing while she stared at the trees.

She too didn't like how he frequently had to get her from work so late at night, but she couldn't help it. A pregnant dog needed her help, and she couldn't postpone its delivery.

Smiling, she recalled the little puppies that the dog had birthed. The guilt she felt for Mark seemingly evaporated.

Spitting out his toothpick, Mark was finally ready to speak. "What are you smiling about?"

Now noticing she was smiling, Taylor turned to him with a straight face. "I'm sorry, it's just..."

"It's just what, Taylor?" He cut in. "Don't you know the meaning of work hours?"

"You get me so worried, I'd have to come get you from work myself!" Mark spoke at the top of his voice while his eyes occasionally moved from the road to Taylor's sorry-looking face.

"All for the sake of those animals!" He spoke knowing fully well that Taylor hated it when he referred to them with such disdain.

"What happens when we have kids?! I'm not sure I can get married to someone as irresponsible as you!" He spoke and became silent feeling that he'd said the wrong thing.

Upon hearing this Taylor's brows furrowed. "Irresponsible?!" She repeated.

"How's saving lives irresponsible?" Taylor spoke tearing up.

"Lives?! You... You just!" He stepped on the gas pedal harder, his knuckles turning white as he gripped the steering wheel tightly.

Seeing how fast they were going, Taylor held onto her seat, "You going to get us killed, Mark!"

He immediately turned to her "At least then...."

"Watch out!" Taylor screamed and Mark subconsciously stepped on the breaks.

With a screech, the car came to a stop, but not after colliding against something.

"What was that?!" Mark asked as he stretched over the steering wheel to see what was hit.

Taylor quickly unbuckled her seatbelt and opened the door.

"Where are you going?" He asked alarmed, surprise Taylor dared open the door.

"You hit an animal!" She said concerned as she walked to the front of the car.

"An animal? Do you know what...?" His eyes widened as he began to sweat, looking at Taylor.

"Get in, Taylor!" He yelled unsure what to do.

On seeing its tail and hairy back, Taylor quickly rushed back to the car.

"What's it?" Mark asked ready to start driving.

"It's a dog!" She announced as she picked up her kit from the back of the car.

"So?!" Mark opened his hands agitated.

"I'm going to save it!" She said sternly looking at him and walking towards the front of the car.

Before she could get there, the dog bolted into the woods. With her kit, she chased after it.

"Taylor!" Mark yelled as he unbuckled his seatbelt.

She stood in at the edge of the road staring into the woods.

"Taylor, come back!" Mark yelled still too scared to open the door to get down.

"Taylor!" He yelled again.

"What?!" She yelled back with tears in her eyes.

"No animal can survive that impact. Are you happy? You just killed a dog!" She yelled at him.

Staring stupified, Mark looked at her wondering how and why he was ever attracted to her because of her passion for animals. Had he known she was this crazy, he never would have taken things further.

She picked out some pills from her kit and walked into the bushes gently.

"Tay!" Mark who was almost crying in confusion called. On one hand, he was angry at her and on the other he was worried.

She stopped and placed the pills on the floor making several weird sounds with her mouth.

After standing there for a few seconds she turned and was about to walk back to the car when something caught her skirt.

Shocked she turned back and found a branch stuck to it. In an attempt to get the skirt out of the branch, it tore, revealing a small of her lap.

Seeing this, Mark hit his forehead annoyed but unsure what to say.

With a sigh, she aggressively walked back into the car.

Mark just continued to stare at her, not sure how to express himself.

"Drive!" She said not even looking at his face.

After a sigh, he stepped on the gas pedal and they were back on the road.

Staring at the leaving car, a figure stepped out of the bushes holding a red piece of cloth in one hand and some pills in another.

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

Nathaniel Stone
5.0

I woke up on silk sheets that smelled of expensive cedar and cold sandalwood, a world away from my cramped apartment in Brooklyn. Beside me lay Ezra Gardner—my boss, the billionaire CEO of Gardner Holdings, and the man who could end my career with a snap of his fingers. He didn’t offer an apology for the night before; instead, he looked at me with terrifying clarity and proposed a cold, calculated business arrangement. "Marriage. It stabilizes the board and solves the PR crisis before it begins." He dressed me in archival Chanel and sent me home in his Maybach, but my life was already falling apart. My boyfriend, Irving, claimed he had passed out early, yet his location data placed him at my best friend’s apartment until three in the morning. When I tried to run, I realized Ezra was already ten steps ahead, tracking my movements and uncovering the secret I’d spent twenty years hiding: my connection to the powerful Senator Grimes. I was trapped between a CEO who treated me like a line item on a quarterly report and a boyfriend who had been using me while sleeping with my closest friend. I felt like a pawn in a game I didn't understand, wondering why a man like Ezra would walk up forty flights of stairs on a broken leg just to make sure I was safe. "Showtime, Mrs. Gardner." Standing on the red carpet in a gown that cost more than my life, I watched my cheating ex-boyfriend’s face turn pale as Ezra claimed me in front of the world. I wasn't just an assistant anymore; I was a weapon, and it was time to burn their world down.

Rising From Wreckage: Starfall's Epic Comeback

Rising From Wreckage: Starfall's Epic Comeback

Huo Wuer
4.5

Rain hammered against the asphalt as my sedan spun violently into the guardrail on the I-95. Blood trickled down my temple, stinging my eyes, while the rhythmic slap of the windshield wipers mocked my panic. Trembling, I dialed my husband, Clive. His executive assistant answered instead, his voice professional and utterly cold. "Mr. Wilson says to stop the theatrics. He said, and I quote, 'Hang up. Tell her I don’t have time for her emotional blackmail tonight.'" The line went dead while I was still trapped in the wreckage. At the hospital, I watched the news footage of Clive wrapping his jacket around his "fragile" ex-girlfriend, Angelena, shielding her from the storm I was currently bleeding in. When I returned to our penthouse, I found a prenatal ultrasound in his suit pocket, dated the day he claimed to be on a business trip. Instead of an apology, Clive met me with a sneer. He told me I was nothing but an "expensive decoration" his father bought to make him look stable. He froze my bank accounts and cut off my cards, waiting for the hunger to drive me back to his feet. I stared at the man I had loved for four years, realizing he didn't just want a wife; he wanted a prop he could switch off. He thought he could starve me into submission while he played father to another woman's child. But Clive forgot one thing. Before I was his trophy wife, I was Starfall—the legendary voice actress who vanished at the height of her fame. "I'm not jealous, Clive. I'm done." I grabbed my old microphone and walked out. I’m not just leaving him; I’m taking the lead role in the biggest saga in Hollywood—the one Angelena is desperate for. This time, the "decoration" is going to burn his world down.
