Adventurous Werewolf 網路小說與 Independent Misunderstanding 故事

Aria Mendoza thought leaving Mexico would leave her heartbreak behind. After discovering her boyfriend's affair with her best friend, she accepts a photography assignment in the quiet mountain town of Pine Ridge, Arizona, determined to rebuild her life one day at a time. The job seems simple until she realizes the town is hiding something. The streets empty before sunset. The locals avoid the forest as if it holds a living nightmare. Missing-person posters line every corner, and every question she asks is met with uneasy silence. Curiosity has always been Aria's greatest strength... and her greatest weakness. When she unknowingly crosses into forbidden territory, she attracts the attention of Damon and Darius, the mysterious Alpha twins who rule Pine Ridge from the shadows. Powerful, guarded, and burdened by secrets, the brothers are determined to keep her away from the truth. But the more they push her back, the more determined Aria becomes to uncover what everyone is trying so desperately to hide. As danger closes in and old enemies emerge from the darkness, Aria discovers that some secrets are worth killing for—and that her arrival in Pine Ridge may not have been a coincidence after all. In a town where trust is fragile, love is forbidden, and the forest never truly sleeps, one wrong step could change her life forever. Some secrets should stay buried. Others are waiting for her to find them.

"You do know I am a whore and wherever I go in this city, I will be recognized, be it under a disguise or not?" Penelope arched a brow at Quinlan, capturing his attention with her voice immediately. "Well…" Quinlan paused and let his mind waver for a second, "you could impersonate a male." "Heavens! Dressing up as a man to get myself pleasured?" "Yes, I see nothing wrong with that. It's only an hour or two, thing." "How about we invite a man into our home?" "I'm afraid that's impossible." Quinlan's tone was as sharp as his jaw. "Right." Penelope placed the papers on the desk, "where do I sign?" *** A deal between a heartbroken nobel man and the town's biggest whore. Quinlan wanted to keep his position as the Alpha's beta because he was close to being relieved of his duties since the Alpha recently wedded his lover. Penelope was after the money and wanted to go on a hiatus from the pleasure house. So the two married through a contact, unbeknownst of what lies ahead.
