He Yuan had accidentally caused his own death. He had no idea he was even dead until he suddenly woke up on the hard floor of an empty room. What had killed him? Well... for future reference, it's a terrible idea to install a chandelier over your bed. As he tried to get his bearings right, a strange guy suddenly popped out of thin air and he was offered a job. The job offer granted him eternal life with the alternative being reincarnation. Most would hastily choose to be reincarnated so they can start a new life but not He Yuan. He was skeptical, why would anyone want reincarnation? Once you reincarnated 'you' cease to exist. He didn't care about what people said about starting afresh, gaining new memories and all that. All he knew was that once a person reincarnated, they get thrown into a different environment, different family, meet new people and in short became a different person entirely. What scared He Yuan the most was losing his own thoughts and hence, awareness of his current self and so, he chose to accept the job. What did the job entail? He carried out tasks given to him by people who were called 'leasers.' They were called this because they leased out their bodies to 'taskers' for a period of time to help set their crooked lives straight. What the leasers didn't know was that the taskers got into realms and helped them so they( taskers) could focus on their own main tasks which was world/realm balance. These realms had 'special ones' who siphoned the luck out of it. Luck was the binding force of these realms so without it, the realms would begin to break apart and deteriorate into unlivable hells. So in essence, leasers gave put their bodies and 'payment' in the form of soul energy, taskers helped out the leasers while balancing the realms and the realms become stable once more. Pretty straightforward right? Yes. But can someone tell He Yuan why these world was so full of hypocrites, Mary sue and Gary stu characters who thought it was excusable to do horrible things just because they were in love? He Yuan grit his teeth. If you want to be in love, then be in love, was there any need to use others as stepping stones?! He rolled up his sleeves and bounced forward. Just you wait as I teach you all a valuable lesson! #Gongmc UPDATES: Twice daily ORIGINAL STORY.

Grace Harper har altid været en outsider – opfostret i en ulveflok, der aldrig rigtig accepterede hende, adopteret af en alfa med for mange hemmeligheder. Da hendes ekskæreste forlader hende til fordel for sin mage, og sandheden om hendes adoption kommer for en dag, ved Grace, at hun må flygte ... eller dø i forsøget. Men hendes vej til frihed kolliderer med Lycan Kongen. Kold, magtfuld og tynget af spøgelser fra en fortid, han nægter at dele, ønsker Caine ikke Grace i sin verden. Han tror ikke, hun hører hjemme i nogen anden verden end sin egen. Og alligevel, med skæbnen, der binder deres sjæle sammen, begynder hans kontrol at slå revner. Grace bad aldrig om hans beskyttelse. Hun bad heller aldrig om at begære ham. Men noget urgammelt er ved at vågne, og jo dybere hun dykker ned i sandheden om sin fortid, jo mere indser hun: Måske var det aldrig meningen, at hun skulle være fri. Måske var det meningen, at hun skulle forandre alt. Startende med ham. ---- *Grace of a Wolf* er den lettere vanvittige romance mellem en menneskepige med ubekvem menneskelig moral og hendes mildt sociopatiske skæbnebestemte mage – som tilfældigvis også er Lycan Kongen og har den følelsesmæssige intelligens som en sten. Heldungvis bliver deres farligt magnetiske bånd (knap nok) afbalanceret af kaos fra en funden familie, en røvfuld magi og en forbindelse som skæbnebestemte mager, der rent faktisk kan slå hende ihjel, hvis de rører hinanden. Ups. Lige når du tror, du læser *endnu en varulvehistorie*, sniger plottet og verdensopbygningen sig ind på dig med kløer, tænder og reelle konsekvenser. Den er slow-burn, følelsesmæssigt rodet og spækket med den slags spænding, der kan slå dig ihjel – eller kysse dig. --- **ADVARSLER:** R18: Smut, smut, smut. Også mørke temaer, herunder, men ikke begrænset til: Mord, mordforsøg, en stak lig, forræderi, mild sociopati, en mandlig hovedperson, der ser ud til at bade i røde flag, på trods af at hans yndlingsfarve er grøn, et uberettiget had til blåbærmuffins og pudetyveri. En **slow burn**, krydret urban fantasy-romance om ulveskiftere med en masse tilfældigt plot, der forsøger at "knot-blocke" alt. Når de hede scener rammer, bedes du læse ansvarligt. Tak~

Grace Harper has always been an outsider—raised in a wolf pack that never truly accepted her, adopted by an alpha with too many secrets. When her ex-boyfriend leaves her for his mate and the truth of her adoption comes to light, Grace knows she has to leave… or die trying. But her path to freedom slams into the Lycan King. Cold, powerful, and burdened by the ghosts of a past he refuses to share, Caine doesn’t want Grace in his world. He doesn’t believe she belongs in any world but her own. And yet, with fate tethering their souls, his control begins to crack. Grace never asked for his protection. She never asked to want him, either. But something ancient is waking, and the deeper she dives into the truth of her past, the more she realizes: maybe she was never meant to be free. Maybe she was meant to change everything. Starting with him. ---- *Grace of a Wolf* is the slightly unhinged romance between a human girl with inconvenient human morals and her mildly sociopathic fated mate—who also happens to be the Lycan King and has the emotional intelligence of a rock. Thankfully, their dangerously magnetic bond is (barely) balanced by found family chaos, a buttload of magic, and a fated mate connection that might actually kill her if they touch. Oops. 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]
