Just when you think you’re reading *yet another werewolf story*, the plot and worldbuilding sneak up behind you with claws, teeth, and actual stakes. It’s slow-burn, emotionally messy, and laced with the kind of tension that could kill—or kiss—you. --- **WARNINGS:** R18: Smutty smut smut. Also, dark themes, including but not limited to: Murder, attempted murder, a stack of dead bodies, betrayal, mild sociopathy, an ML who appears to bathe in red flags despite his favorite color being green, an unwarranted hatred of blueberry muffins, and pillow thievery. A **slow burn**, spicy wolf shifter urban fantasy romance with a lot of random plot trying to knot-block everything. When the spice hits, please read responsibly. Thank you~ [WSA 2025 Contest Entry]

They didn’t crawl out of myths, they tore their way through them. Forgotten monstrosities, born from old tales, returned in twisted flesh to remind humanity why even speaking their names once felt dangerous. The sky split. Fire burst from the ground. Oceans boiled. Cities bled. No warning, just monsters. And with them, something else: a power system no one understood. Salvation, perhaps, but not for everyone. It gave nothing to the fearful, nothing to the weak. But to the brave, or the desperate, it offered claws. As for the gods... they stood still, silent. But not necessarily uninvolved. For Lazar, the apocalypse wasn’t a tragedy. It was a delay. He had spent years preparing for revenge, and now the world was burning at the worst possible time. Most people broke. Lazar didn’t. He never believed in hope, never counted on luck. Cold, focused, ruthless, traits that once made him a misfit now exposed everyone else’s weakness. The skills he had honed for vengeance were the very ones demanded by this new world. And vengeance doesn’t vanish just because the world ends. It waits. But monsters aren’t the only threat to his plan. Some gods want their relevance back. Some humans want order, their version of it. As for the forces threatening to destroy the world, no one really knows what they want. One thing a lot of them agree on though: in a world of kings and pawns, someone like him, the wild grey piece on the board, must be removed.
