Is Hunting For Hidden Gold A Or

Of Flames and Gold

[My WSA 2024 Entry novel! Please vote] In a world where mythical beings have fallen into an "eternal slumber," a thriving underground market exploits the stolen essence of these dormant creatures. At its epicenter are dragons—majestic beings desired for their scales, organs, and prized eggs. The most coveted treasure of all is a dragon's name, a key that holds the power to control its very existence. Dragon Lord, guardian of a clutch of dormant eggs, lives in isolation atop a hill, surrounded by a forest that veils his castle. He bears the scars of past betrayals, having been deceived by those who feigned love to steal his treasures or claim his head as a bounty. Jaded and cold, he trusts no one, living a solitary existence. However, his solitude is shattered when a woman unwittingly stumbles into his life. Yara finds herself in Dragon Lord's treasured den amidst a battle between the dragon and thieves. In a twist of fate, she mistakenly bonds with the dormant eggs, breathing life into them. Reluctantly, Dragon Lord allows Yara into his world, and their journey unfolds amid the looming threat of underground organizations seeking to exploit the dragons for profit. As the eggs come to life, so does an unexpected connection between Dragon Lord and Yara. Despite his cold and jaded exterior, he finds himself unable to ignore her presence. Yara, too, cannot deny the pull she feels towards him, and emotions begin to burn beneath the surface. Together, they must navigate the challenges of waiting for the eggs to hatch, fend off those who seek to exploit the dragon and its offspring, and confront the secrets that Yara harbors—a revelation that could destroy everything. In this tale of flames and gold, two scarred souls in a world where trust is a rare and precious commodity must confront the ghosts of their pasts. They navigate the dangerous currents of love and deception, protecting unborn dragons from a world hungry for their magic. Will their bond withstand the trials ahead, or will the flames of betrayal engulf them in the end? A/N: It starts out SLOW, because I tend to get lost in the pages and be descriptive but once it gets to the action, it really picks up! Looking forward to growing with you all on this journey!!!

Hidden from human eyes, werewolves live among us, their incredible strength and heightened senses making them formidable but dangerous. To keep humanity safe, a secret order of hunters has waged war against the werewolves for centuries, bound by an unbreakable code known only as “The Law.” But what happens when the lines between hunter and prey blur? Cain Black, a member of this ancient family of hunters, has lived his entire life by the rigid rules set by his forefathers. Trained to hunt, taught to kill, he has never questioned his purpose—until the day his world is shattered. During what seems like a routine mission, Cain encounters a rogue werewolf who does something unexpected: he begs for his life. This moment of hesitation becomes a catalyst for Cain, forcing him to confront everything he’s been taught about loyalty, justice, and the creatures he hunts. As Cain digs deeper into the world of werewolves, he uncovers a hidden truth: not all werewolves are mindless beasts. Some are organized, intelligent, and seeking more than just survival—they want freedom. Led by the cunning and ruthless Lucas Sterling, the werewolves are plotting a rebellion that could upend the fragile balance between the two species. But Lucas’s motives are murky, and his ultimate plan may have deadly consequences for both humans and werewolves alike. In parallel, Cain’s personal journey becomes one of betrayal and self-discovery. His loyalty to his family and their code is tested as he uncovers secrets from his past, secrets that threaten to unravel the entire foundation of the hunter’s society. As the hunters close in on the werewolves, Cain must make a choice: follow the law and continue the hunt, or break every rule to save both species from an impending war. With heart-pounding action and morally complex characters, *The Law of Werewolf Hunting* explores what happens when the monsters we hunt are not so different from ourselves. Readers will be captivated by the book’s relentless suspense, the web of lies and intrigue, and the delicate dance between predator and prey.

He snapped; his harsh voice made her look into his eyes, and she was immediately trapped under his stone-cold gaze. She couldn't move her eyes away from his as he stepped closer to her, his movements slow as though he was ready to pounce on her, his prey. Without thinking, she stood up from her position, prepared to bolt, but he grabbed her and pinned her hands against the bed. He moved his knee forwards, parting her legs that resisted only for a second before allowing his knee entry. He pushed it slowly into the spot between her thighs, making her gasp from the sudden contact. "Do you like disobeying me, Aila?" He growled; Aila was confused for a moment until she remembered how easily she defied his commands. Was he really still angry from earlier? But when she searched his face for an answer, she soon found it. He was definitely mad from earlier. "To be quite honest, I do. It puts you in your place," Aila smirked when she met his blazing eyes. He brought his face down closer to hers, the pressure from his knee in between her legs increased, making her bite her bottom lip. "Wrong answer," He growled before biting her lip apart from her teeth. ----- *DISCLAIMER* MATURE CONTENT: Graphic Violence Strong Language Sexual Content Abuse -- 【 Volume 1: Complete】 【 Volume 2: Complete】 【 Volume 3: ONGOING. #EnemiesToLovers #HOTChemistry #TouchHerAndYouDie 】 -- If you are enjoying the story, please vote with a power stone, leave comments and a review! -- Cover Image: Commissioned by @if._art My Instagram: @kelly_starrz My new discord server: https://discord.gg/MHMdRRqUYa
