Action Werewolf Web Novels & Alpha Second Chance Stories

I came home to bury my sister and found a town that already buried the truth. Niamh left the Dublin police force a year ago, after a case went wrong and a bottle became her closest friend. Now her sister Siobhan is dead in the fishing village of Dún Aonghasa, and Niamh returns to a cottage that still has her key under the flowerpot, a fishing weight on the kitchen table, and a note that says "You're home." The town is strange in ways she can't name: twenty boats that never go out on the full moon, a cooperative charter with laws no one will explain, a harbormaster named Declan who watches her like he's waiting for her to remember something. When a wolf's eyes flash in her mirror one night, Niamh realizes the town is a pack, and her sister died inside its law. Declan knows more than he says. So does every neighbor who brings her casseroles and warnings. The deeper Niamh digs, the more the pack closes ranks, and the more she feels the pull of a bond she never asked for and the heat of a man who may have helped kill her sister. To find the truth, she must decide whether to arrest the killer or become the one thing this pack has feared for twenty years: a challenge. Place and Time: Dún Aonghasa, a small fishing village on the west coast of Ireland, in 1997.

Eight months ago, I spent one night with a stranger, making the rules of sharing names, no promises, and no reason to ever see each other again. Then my family’s debt came due, and I was sent to the eastern territories as payment. What I never expected was to see the man waiting for me to be him. Zane Sinclair. The last king holding the eastern territories together after the world fell apart, and the last man I ever wanted to be bound to. But something is moving beneath the ruins. Something that isn’t infected. And something that also isn’t human. And when it gets inside his territory and calls my name, I realize my arrival may have nothing to do with an old debt. Because whatever it is that is out there knows me. And whatever it is that it wants, it has already found me.
