I Live My Life A Quarter Mile At A Time

Past First Quarter: A Romance Novel

Growing up, Rose's father kept her isolated in a mansion-sized cage of gold. Forced to grow up quickly after she runs away from her home, Rose learns firsthand that there is a lot of speciesism between werewolves and humans. Still unable to shift, she finds a mate and is thrust into the elaborate world of werewolves, council meetings, and territory battles. Aries has a past he wants to be forgotten and when he happens to run into his mate he's forced to change his plans in order to keep her and his pack safe. His secrets slowly come out forcing Rose to question how someone so cruel can be destined for her. Love story aside and with adamant hate for the way werewolves treat humans, Rose will have to work with Aries to change the way the council runs things. ~Excerpt~ "You're not reacting?" I said confused. He raised an eyebrow but otherwise looked indifferent. "Am I supposed to," it was more of a statement than a question but his lack of a reaction made me realize he actually had no clue who I was. I frowned at him analyzing him for a long time before my lips spread thin into a goofy grin. I gave him the biggest smile, one that I haven't given to anyone in a long time. "Rosabella," I said stretching my arm out in front of us. He stared at my outstretched hand for what felt like forever before his large hand wrapped itself around my smaller one. "Aries," he seemed to be making his grip as light as possible. Almost as if he feared that anything tighter than that would break my smaller hand in his. I tilted my head confused. "Like the god of war?" I asked. His grip suddenly tighten which made me flinch and he quickly let go before looking away from me as if trying to avoid eye contact. "Sure," he said. I was about to ask another question when I heard someone ask a group of ladies not too far away from us, "Have any of you seen this girl?" The woman looked at the picture and then looked up in confusion just before her eyes met mine and recognition hit her face like a slap to the cheek. I knew immediately that I had been found. "Shit," I said just as Ares walked up to what I was assuming was his motorcycle. He put his helmet on and the guys speaking to the lady a few feet away turned around to look at where the lady pointed me out. I yelped and jumped on the back of Aries motorcycle hugging him from behind for dear life. "What are you doing?" "Drive!" I don't know if it was the panic in my voice or the fact that I was shaking uncontrollably but thankfully he didn't question me further. He instead, stepped on it and we were speeding through the town just before the men could react.

Dismissed from the Army, I Now Live A Peaceful Mercenary Life

After being unfairly judged in a military trial for the death of a corrupt officer—an indirect outcome of a sanctioned duel—Calidum Lupus, a beast man with the appearance of a white wolf, dodged the death penalty with the help of his former superior but was ultimately dismissed from the Army despite having substantial evidence and credible witnesses. Without many skills besides soldiering, and perhaps with a stroke of luck, he stumbled into helping Gideon Rek, a famous mercenary, during one of his missions and ended up joining his group, the Color Mercenaries, as an individual branch member, handling simple odd jobs. Grateful for the opportunity, Calidum settled into a quieter life, guarding caravans or making deliveries, leaving his military days behind. But his past kept popping up a few years later—former comrades urging his return to the army after a much-needed structural reform and troublesome old adversaries seeking rematches and payback. Resolute in his decision to sever ties with his previous life, Calidum consistently declined these offers with grace. Yet, when the daughter of the deceased high-ranking officer—whom Calidum allegedly killed—enters his life in distress, he is compelled to rescue her. Perhaps a cruel twist of fate, she falls for him hard despite the awareness of their intertwined histories. And just when he thought it couldn't get weirder, a former subordinate who had been persistently pushing for his return to the army discovers the daughter's affections and, in another sudden twist, professes her own love for him. Faced with the two’s unrelenting and overwhelming affection, Calidum must now navigate a wild journey of love, loyalty, and self-discovery amidst the shadows of his past in this tale of heart-warming romance and chaotic comedy.
