On The Edge Novels & Stories

My wife, Wendy Sinclair, has a severe sleepwalking disorder. After she falls asleep, she always wanders out in a state of unconsciousness. The night before our wedding, she disappears without a word. I have no choice but to postpone our wedding. Only then does she walk out of her childhood friend's house next door, rubbing her sleepy eyes. Afraid I might overthink, she cries and apologizes to me. "There's no cure for my condition. From now on, just tie me up when I sleep, okay?" I feel sorry for her, so I just change the door lock to make sure she cannot go out. But in the middle of the night, I wake up and see her standing on the edge of the balcony. She climbs in through the window and goes into her childhood friend's house again. Soon, suggestive and intimate sounds come from inside. My blood runs cold. Her sleepwalking isn't an illness at all—it is out of love.

Ava never wanted anything to do with alphas. Or wolves. Or fate. She survived by being invisible—quiet, unwanted, forgotten at the edge of the human world. Until the night she runs. Until the forest answers. Until Alpha Cassian finds her. He is the most feared leader of the Blood Moon pack. Cold. Controlled. Untouchable. And cursed. What should have been a trespass becomes something far worse. A bond. Ancient. Forbidden. Impossible. Ava is human. At least, that’s what she believes. But the curse that chains Cassian to his throne recognizes her before he does. And recognition is never innocent. As desire ignites and the pack begins to fracture, Ava discovers something awakening in her blood—something older than wolves, older than the curse itself. If Cassian marks her, the bond will stabilize. If he doesn’t, the Council will. And either choice could cost her life. Because loving an Alpha is dangerous. But being the reason he falls? Deadly. Some bonds are not fate. They are a sentence. And dawn is coming.

As my blade pierces the base of his neck, the silver sizzles against his skin. His cold blue eyes open wide. The grim reality of his situation sets in. He gulps hard and shakes his head in fear. "I repent." He squeaks like the coward he is. "Forgive my crimes. Let me face the Council." "You'll find no mercy here, Sin." Blood gushes down his bare chest freely. "You will be judged by the Goddess." His expression quickly changes to one of anger, exposing his ruse. "I see you in the Palace of the Goddess, I will kill you again." I growl. "And if she casts me out, I will meet you on the edge of the River Styx and kill you in Purgatory over and over until the Ferryman come to collect us. And if Hades allows, I will continue to kill you in the Underworld until the end of time." "I underestimated you." He chokes. "Everyone does." I whisper as I lay my full weight against the pommel.
