Choose Your Heroes Carefully Novel Novels & Stories

Chapter 3: Author's POV Imagine a world secluded on an icy plain, carved from the frozen wilderness of the Arctic and bordered by an ocean. Somehow, life thrived, and magic did too. Werewolf packs emerged, but humans infiltrated as well. The initial migration into werewolf territory was once deemed a problem, and the killing of outsiders ensued.

I looked from him to Kieran, who stood with blood on his shirt and murder in his eyes. My only two brain cells struggled to pick the safer choice, one was screaming at me to pick the guy who looked like he could kill three wolves with his bare hands, but the other one went, Well yeah, but the book version of you always chooses Rowan here, he’s your savior and sweetheart and all that, coming to your rescue and sweeping you off your feet.

Then decide if you can judge me. I didn’t want to judge him. I only wanted insight—some understanding of how he would make this choice.

But deciding to wait for Caterina and see what she uncovered, I sat at one of the tables near the front of the library and opened it. I am a man of decision, the book began.
