The Defective wolf

He fumbled for his walkie-talkie, a flicker of anticipation lighting his dull eyes. He was about to deliver good news to the faceless bastards at base. But before he could speak, a blur of movement at his feet caught his attention. The werewolf, the one shackled in silver, fueled by a desperate surge of adrenaline or perhaps the raw agony of betrayal, had broken free. The three other men who had accompanied him roared in frustration and gave chase, their heavy boots pounding on the cracked asphalt. But the leader didn't move. A slow, cruel smile spread across his face. Protocol be damned. He unholstered his sidearm, the cold steel a familiar comfort in his hand. He thumbed the transmit button on the walkie-talkie. "Found another one," he reported, his voice flat and devoid of emotion. Then, without a flicker of hesitation, the sharp crack of a gunshot tore through the oppressive silence. The bullet slammed into the fleeing werewolf's back, the impact throwing her forward before she collapsed in a broken heap. His companions, now returning, exchanged irritated glances. "They want them alive," one of them muttered, his voice tight with annoyance. This loose cannon was going to cause problems. Trinity's life has been defined by isolation and the scars of abuse, a stark contrast to the powerful lineage she doesn't know she possesses. Born to a Beta wolf, the Alpha's second, she was cast out as a defective at the mere age of two, growing up completely unaware of the wolf world that was her birthright. That ignorance is violently stripped away when she is abducted and forced back to the pack that abandoned her. Thrust into a world of primal instincts and ancient traditions, Trinity must confront a reality she never imagined. As she grapples with her sudden transformation and the revelation of her true nature, a dark shadow falls over the wolf community: their kind are vanishing. Against her will, Trinity finds herself drawn into the desperate search for the missing, a quest that leads to a sinister quasi-governmental facility engaged in horrifying experiments. Her journey is one of unwilling discovery, as she fights to understand her past and confront the dangerous future that awaits.

The Walking Dead: Emily's Metamorphosis (INTERMITTENT)

The Walking Dead: Emily's Metamorphosis from Visions of Future Saga ---- Emily had the perfect life: luxuries, parties, and the unconditional protection of her father, Ron. But her privileged bubble is about to burst. Ron's warnings about a "rare fever" and the disturbing presence of the mysterious Alex on her birthday are only the prelude to unimaginable horror. When chaos descends upon the city in the middle of a school performance, Emily is thrown into a world where walls crumble, screams blend with the slow footsteps of the dead, and normality dissolves into blood. Rescued by Alex, the same man her father blindly trusts, Emily is returned to a shelter that no longer feels like a home, but like a training ground. With her world turned upside down, Emily refuses to be a burden. Her journey has just begun from spoiled child to leader. She will learn to wield a weapon, face the horror of the infected, and make decisions that could mean life or death. But amidst the desolation, one name echoes in her mind: Alex. As she searches for her own place in an uncertain future, she knows her story is intertwined with his, in a world where only the strongest, and most determined, survive. Can Emily forge her own destiny in an apocalypse that has taken everything from her, except her will to fight? ---- This is a novel about an 18-year-old student who goes from living a normal life to being a survivor of a zombie apocalypse. This is a spin-off of my novel, The Walking Dead: Visions of Future. This novel will have approximately four chapters of background within the main "universe" covered in the main novel and then will present the perspective of a student surviving the zombie apocalypse. The novel was intended to be short, just to present a different perspective and narrative from the main novel, but I have already written 15 chapters and planned at least 40 chapters. While there will be connections to the main novel, this is essentially a separate story. ---- REMINDER THIS NOVEL IS NOT SET IN ANY OF THE SETTINGS FROM THE ORIGINAL FRANCHISE. IT IS NOT BASED ON THE SERIES, THE GAMES, OR THE COMIC. ---- Genres: Apocalypse/Zombies/Suspense/School Life/Action/Slice of Life/Horror/R-18/Romance/Side Story/ ---- I write for money, so I need money sent by "stork." ---- The cover image is generated by AI

Neva and Rhett—two young souls—find their heartstrings woven in love. But just as passion and peace begin to bloom, fate intervenes. Bleak, haunting circumstances scatter blades across their romance, threatening to tear them apart. Ishmael—a man with a heart of thorns—yearns to mend the wound of losing Neva. And in the end, rays of love and joy filter through the clouds of horror that darken his world—as Neva appears before him once more. Twisted fate entangles them all, revealing the Game of Sphere, as misery scorches their souls. A concealed life beyond turns its pages—one after another—gathering sin and virtue, tragedy and fortune, strength and frailty, creation, love... and hate. Illusion is where we live—in the garden of Eden before the fall of man. Illusion is serenity—an evermore sanguine of love. The vision of paradise in the New Earth sows hope deep in the soul. The delusory pleasures of this world ignite the flames that burn in oceans of fire. Illusive Eden is rapture. Illusive Eden is tragedy. The fall of man—even now bleeds red. The whisper whirls the dawn of a man—he who pretends to be the hero. --- The girl who once vowed to be his forever Now forbids him to ever appear. She refuses to recognize him, Disregarding all he ever was. He vows to protect her. Yet he is the terrifying truth she prays is a lie. He trips her, rips her apart— He's the living tragedy looming over her life. He once was her Elayne, now her hiraeth. He is the villain—pretending to be the hero. --- The Lord is the way— Steady through the wilderness. The King is the truth— Burning through the lies. The Father is the life— Breathing spirit into dust. She kneels before the Ruler, The God who shaped galaxies— He has called her a poet. Her tongue shall be anointed. Her poetry shall be the rivers of His word. She will scatter seeds in broken fields, And He will send the sun. He will send the rain. He will draw the roots down deep. He yields to the Ruler, The God of blazing holiness— He has called him a soldier. His fists shall be unclenched. The sword of the Spirit rests in his grip. He will shield the sower of the seeds, As storms rise against the harvest. His strength will be not his own, But drawn from the marrow of grace. This faith shall shake the mountains, For He has conquered the filth of the flesh. This flame will cleanse the shadows. For He has defeated the darkness. This love shall live on for eternity, For He has overcome the mortal world.
