But then he followed me.... It would be creepy if he was just a stalker - but he’s not. He’s a protector, shielding me from a group of nutjobs who believe in dragons. He saved my life - but now it’s my turn. And apparently, the nutjobs aren’t wrong. Dragons are real. And I hold the key to saving them all.

Republished fifty years later to coincide with the release of the Academy Award–nominated film of the same title written and directed by Aaron Sorkin with an all-star cast, this is the classic account of perhaps the most infamous, and definitely the most entertaining, trial in recent American...

I want him, but I can’t mate him. I’m only attempting to do the right thing. He’s an omega in danger, and I have the means to get him to safety. I’m not planning to keep him. If he understands the danger he’s in and still wants to leave, I’ll let him. And if he finds another dragon to love, I’ll step aside. After all, I’m not worthy of an omega. Not like this. Not while I’m...broken.

He’s my hero...literally. Super heroes don’t exist, and the Ghost of Detroit? Just a rumor. Except it’s not. I was taken straight off the street, drugged, and put up for sale...until he saved me. There’s something between us, something charged and electric, that sends shivers down my spine...and his. But the people who are after me aren’t going to stop. Unless we make them.

He was the enemy: Calavastrix the Storm. He’d razed our ranch once already and threatened my family and friends. But now, injured, he has come to us for help. I wasn’t supposed to fall for him.

The police stopped searching for my kidnapped brother after the trail went cold. I didn’t. I’m going to find him. My brother - he’s all I’ve got left. Until I met the dragons. Well...just one dragon, in particular. Being with a dragon means accepting danger. But this rescue attempt? It’s not just dangerous.

I’m a proud Templar, like my daddy was, and his daddy. It’s my job to rid the earth of dragon scum...and the money isn’t bad, either. I never expected a dragon to show up on my doorstep, though. Or offer to help me find a cure for my Mama’s illness. And most of all, I never expected that I’d fall for him.

A great legend had foretold lifetimes ago that in the spotlight of the gods, a powerful wizard would transform into the legendary Gorilla soon after the Queen Witch broke his heart, and he would bestow upon the land a priceless treasure in turn to align himself the Prime Mate.

For years, I was told that Wonderland was just a dream. That all of the fantastic characters were figments of my imagination. But they never went away. As a girl, I'd have dreams on the anniversary of my first "adventure" in Wonderland. Hatter, Cheshire, Rabbit, and Queen would visit me, playing games and just generally have fun with me on those nights. Once I became a woman, the dreams changed. Cheshire was no longer just a cat, he was a sinfully attractive man with cat ears atop his head. The others changed as well, each becoming a more adult version of what they had shown me before.

Many legends grasp much love. Hope from above, and faith in the light. Family ties; darkness, magic; suspenseful climaxes... A humorous view at the naked truth of social experiences!

Although, most distinguish to some form of scope, that God lives within each of us — whole.

But my senses go crazy every time I’m around Shayne, and my inner wolf is convinced he’s my fated mate. He fits right into my family, but he doesn’t know a thing about shifters, and I don’t want to scare him away before I find a way to convince him to stay in town.

Yet, his definition of love was a far cry from the idealistic vision he painted. Behind closed doors, his behavior was erratic—from loving and kind to distant and cruel.
