Shackles
When warriors from hostile neighbouring nations kidnap the Empress Dowager, a man from her past, Captain Li Wai, is dispatched to save her. Battling both enemies from within the palace and outside, the journey back to the Forbidden City is fraught with danger. But perhaps the biggest danger comes from the Empress Dowager herself, for she hides a soulmate tattoo that will kill her if her heart ever strays. Her spirit is indomitable, her will is undefeatable, but her heart isn't as impervious to love as she thinks it is. As her long-lost feelings for Captain Li Wai are uncovered, she must make the cruellest decision.
Will she choose her people or will she choose herself? Love or death?

She just didn't know it yet.

"...Plato spoke of the original humans as creatures with two heads, two pairs of hands and feet. Monstrous creatures, correct? Monstrous enough to make the God of Gods tremble in fear.

Phillip was me, and I was Phillip..."
Trapped, Shattered
Lev, a rogue werewolf turned hitman, makes a rare mistake on an otherwise clean job: there’s one extra person in the building. Rather than spend the extra bullet however, he’s inclined to take the young man home.
Otto knows this isn’t mercy, but he can’t say no. As a submissive wolf, he can’t fight back, especially against a dominant one with a blood-splattered face and sadistic smile. Now he’s to become a plaything and must do whatever it takes to sate the beast.
