*****Excerpt***** “Don’t,” she whispered, her words shaky and desperate. “Please, Raph, don’t.” “Don’t what?” he murmured, his lips brushing her collarbone now. “This isn’t right. We shouldn’t…” “But we have,” he countered, his voice unwavering. Her knees threatened to give way, her strength faltering against the onslaught of sensation. She felt his hands on her shoulders, firm but not unkind, as he turned her to face him. Her heart hammered wildly as he lifted her with ease, placing her on the edge of his desk. He parted her legs with his hands and stepped between them, his large hands bracketing her waist. Their faces were inches apart, his breath warm against her lips. Her senses were drowning in him, in the heat of his body and the sheer magnetism of his gaze. “Tell me to stop,” he said, his voice barely above a whisper. “And I will. I’ll let you go and never ask this of you again. But it’s your choice, Natalie. Only yours.” Her mind screamed at her to end it, to take the out he offered. But her body betrayed her, leaning into him, craving his touch. He held her steady, his patience unnerving, as though he knew she would falter. “I’m waiting, Nat,” he urged, his voice softening, though his grip on her remained firm. “Raphael…” Her voice was a breathless plea, her will crumbling. “Yes, sweetheart?” Her hands found their way to his shoulders, clutching at the fabric of his shirt. She couldn’t stop the words that slipped from her lips, nor could she deny the truth in them. “Make love to me.” A dark smile curved his lips as he claimed her mouth in a kiss that stole her breath. “Good choice,” he whispered against her skin. “Because I wasn’t planning on letting you go.” *****Synopsis***** Raphael Emberlin, the Duke of Barrington, and his maid, Natalie Scott, are kidnapped while on a journey. After escaping their captors, they find themselves in a strange, unfamiliar land far from home. Everything around them is different, from the language to the people, and they must find their way back, all while learning to navigate the challenges of being stuck with each other. Raphael, used to being in control, struggles to trust anyone, especially Natalie. However, as they travel together, he begins to see her in a new light—her strength, courage, and ability to handle tough situations. On the other hand, Natalie has to deal with Raphael’s arrogance and pride, but she also notices his vulnerability and starts to understand him better. As they journey through this unknown world, their relationship starts to change. What began as a forced partnership slowly grows into something deeper. They each discover new strengths within themselves and each other. By the time they finally return home, they are left wondering whether they can go back to their old lives or if the journey has changed them forever.

"Gordon! Why are you late? The awakening ceremony is right now!" Jessica said urgently when she saw Gordon come through the doors of the awakening center. Shrugging Gordon didn't say anything. The last thing in the world that he wanted to do was tell this beautiful girl that he had been tripped and beaten on the way to school today. It was times like this that he wished that he bruised more easily. Then maybe he could get some attention. But this thought was fleeting in his mind. Gordon actually preferred to deal with his problems in his own way. And awakening to become a beast tamer and maybe even have his own talent would be the first step. Once he had a powerful beast the bullies wouldn't dare pick on him. "Come on, let's get in line." Jessica whispered to Gordon when she realized that he wasn't going to tell her what had happened. Together they went to the back of the arena type auditorium to wait for their turn to awaken. They had been friends since childhood and had been there for each other through thick and thin. Jessica had been the only friend that stuck with him despite all of his quirks. Slowly the line inched forward. Occasionally some people in their class would cheer if in addition to becoming a beast master a student also awakened a talent.

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.
