A Shroud of Fog and Fangs
By @john1208
Mavriça Douridant doesn't believe in monsters, only motives. As a cold, calculating journalist investigating a series of gruesome maulings in the fog-drenched city of Morvengarde, she crashes a lavish aristocratic engagement party expecting to expose a mundane serial killer. Instead, she finds Vorstag - the towering, feral Alpha of the Morkal Royal Pack, the ruthless enforcers of all werewolf law. When his bone-crushing command aura forces the entire ballroom to their knees, Mavriça is the only one left standing, completely immune. Intrigued and instantly obsessed, the beast doesn't kill her; he claims her as his mate.
Now trapped within his eerie, mist-shrouded gothic estate, Mavriça becomes the fragile obsession of a monster who transforms from a terrifying warlord into a fiercely gentle guardian the moment she enters the room. Her immunity makes her a prime target for the Hemlock Coterie, a vicious vampire syndicate aiming to drain her blood to drive the Alpha insane. But as Mavriça coldly calculates her escape, she uncovers a chilling trail of clues written in her own handwriting. She didn't stumble into this mating bond by accident. Her amnesiac past self intentionally set this trap - but was she trying to destroy the vampires, or the Alpha himself?
