United for the sake of peace, divided for the sake of peace. Humans and werewolves do not share cities, let alone hearts.Samantha BindsA moderately successful interior designer from Green Bay, Succor City, Alabama, Samantha believes she lacks focus in life, and has recently began wondering if she had been searching for it in the wrong places, most notably in her less than satisfying relationships with men who seem to take more than they give. She is more than ready to give up this aspect of her life, but then, won't the chasm be too great and deep for her to fill it alone? She is afraid of finding out. She is sauntering home alone from a night party when she rescues, apparently, a man from a pack of dogs. Despite the fact that he is injured and shaken and her current mood is nothing to be celebrated, she is not oblivious of his rippling muscles bulging through a tattered shirt, and his blatant masculinity evidenced by a well chiseled face, thick stubble, expressive eyebrows and deep-set eyes that seem to probe into her very soul. He towers over her as he tries to assure her in a deep voice, deeper than she's ever heard on any man, that he is fine. He brusquely brushes her off when she expresses concern and suggestions of a hospital, but she is undeterred by his rough exterior, for this may be her only chance. She is willing to break centuries old prohibitions. At a time when humans and werewolves share the world but not cities, Sam wonders if casting her net wider would not be a better option. He may be just what she needs to focus, to make her forget Nelson Cheep, her stingy, cheating boyfriend.Even if it is only for one night. Kane LimaricHe has a past he wishes gone, a present he can barely tolerate and a future he dares not glimpse into. Five human bodies have been discovered in the Leeve Valley which divides humans and werewolves, and all evidence points to Kane.It is a crime for a werewolf to maim, hunt and/or kill humans. Before he could be brought before the Council of Ethics for a trial and possibly a death sentence, he escapes. Now an outcast from his community, Kane must live in the human world masquerading as a human. It seems he's been found... but he'll go down fighting...More than his werewolf primal instincts are awakened by the human woman who interrupts the fight he would rather forget, for at the back of his mind he knows; if she had not appeared when she did, he would be dead. He knows the centuries old peace rules. He disregards them and chooses to break them by burying such thoughts deep in his subconscious as he follows the woman who seems eager to tear away what remains of his clothes. He mistrusts humans and especially ones who ignite his desires to a scorching heat that incinerates his past... making him forget it even if for a short while...However, he will be forced to face his demons once again when like the mythical phoenix; his past reawakens from the ashes of his passions. Will he face it and prove his innocence or will he run again?Fate or destiny, it is up to the two, a werewolf and a human to find out as events precipitated by their chance meeting unfold and spill out of control.WARNING: Please note: this standalone short story contains graphic sex and is only intended for adult readers.
