Red and Silver: Lure of the Lone Wolf: The Heart Of The Beast, #1

By Amber Lew

I'm Red, a fierce huntress and proud member of the Hoods. Our creed? Simple. Eliminate werewolves from existence. 

 

There's just one little problem, and that problem is called Silver—a seductive rogue lycan with a haunting past. He's the very beast I'm destined to destroy, yet something magnetic binds us.

 

Silver and I shouldn't even be in the same room. But fate throws a curveball, pushing us to ally against a common enemy.

 

The unthinkable happens. My grandmother, the Matriarch of the Hoods, is gruesomely murdered. The prime suspect? None other than Silver, the black sheep of the notorious Ironfang Clan. But there's a twist only I know: Silver can't be the killer. How? Let's just say we were a little... preoccupied when it happened. A bond like ours is forbidden, a scandal in the making, so we've kept it hushed. And now, sworn enemies or not, we're determined to unveil the real perpetrator.

 

While he's desperate to clear his name, I'm hell-bent on uncovering the murderer and the important secret message my grandmother wanted to relay before her death.

 

As we're plunged deeper into a world riddled with treachery, we realize our fates are linked by more than just burning passion.

So here I am, in a tale where the big bad wolf is larger, more menacing, and all-consuming. He hungers for me, the not-so-little Red, and trust me, the temptation to surrender is overwhelming...

 

Dive into the enthralling world of "Red & Silver: Lure of the Lone Wolf", the first instalment in a series that promises suspense, passion, and heart-stopping twists at every turn.

I'm Eromami and I write spicy fantasy romance books. In my stories, you'll encounter a strong female protagonist who may start with doubts but finds her inner power. Alongside her, you'll meet a captivating main male lead and intriguing secondary romantic interests. These adventures take place in detailed fantasy realms, featuring mesmerizing male leads who are shifters—vampires, werewolves, fae, dragons, and more! While the protagonist explores romantic bonds with other characters, she ultimately finds her way to a committed and monogamous relationship with the male lead, resulting in a happily ever after or happy for now ending. These reverse harem stories have no mm action, and the relationships depicted are mostly hetero, with occasional bi-curiosity.

Lure of the Lone Wolf

Chapter 1

Red's Mysterious Letter

Aloud knock resounded through the cabin, each thump on the door a prophecy of the tumult that was about to become my life. It was early, the sky still draped in a thick layer of clouds that muted the sun's light. I glanced around the eerie cabin room as if searching for answers. Slowly, I put down my book and got up from the armchair. I stepped around the wooden furniture, unopened boxes and old photographs scattered through the living room on my way towards the kitchen.

Gripping a knife from the countertop, I approached the door cautiously. I couldn't be too careful, not when werewolves roamed the surrounding forest. My hand shook slightly as I placed it on the doorknob, and I could feel the cold metal seeping through my skin, chilling my bones.

Who's there? I called out, attempting to mask my fear with a tone of authority.

Adriano, came the reply, and relief washed over me like a warm tide.

As I opened the door, Adriano's youthful face greeted me with his usual warm smile. He was my grandmother's assistant, an eighteen-year-old boy who had come into her care as an orphan. Though his past was shrouded in mystery, he had always been kind and helpful, and I had grown quite fond of him.

Red, I've brought something for you from your grandmother, he said, handing me a small, brown package wrapped in twine.

My curiosity piqued as I took the parcel, wondering what it could contain. As I untied the twine and revealed the contents, I found a red hood expertly crafted just for me, along with a letter that carried my grandmother's unmistakable handwriting.

The hood was very similar to one Grandma had made for me when I was eight, a time when I desperately wanted to become a Hood, a werewolf hunter just like my Dad. I smiled as I held the hood in my hands. Then I picked up the envelope that contained the letter. The mystery deepened, making my pulse quicken in anticipation. What could Grandma Beatrice possibly have to say that required her to send Adriano all the way over here?

Thank you, Adriano, I murmured, my voice barely above a whisper. My mind raced with possibilities, each more thrilling and frightening than the last.

Your grandmother said it was important, Adriano replied softly. She wanted you to have it right away.

Important seemed like an understatement. As I put the red hood on, I couldn't help but feel that my world was about to change forever.

I opened the letter with trembling fingers, my heart pounding in my chest. The parchment was crisp and smooth under my fingertips, the ink a deep, rich black. As I read, my eyes widened in disbelief.

My dearest Red, it began, There is something of great importance that I must discuss with you, but I cannot risk putting it to paper. Please come to my hideout cabin in the forest at once. Follow the path through the woods as marked by the Birdstone twelve miles northeast of our settlement. Be careful, and do not tell anyone besides your Mom where you are going. When she gets mad, tell her to calm down on my behalf. Love, Grandma.

My mind raced as I considered what could be so urgent, so secretive. Grandma Beatrice had been living in seclusion for two weeks now, ever since she'd decided it was time to retire and choose the next Matriarch or Patriarch of the Hoods. She said she needed to think about it and didn't want to be disturbed. As the Matriarch of the Hoods her wisdom and guidance were sought by many, and it was her duty to choose our next leader. Since she went away, only Andriano was allowed to see her face-to-face. And now, she was summoning me.

Red! What is all this about? My mother Marion's shrill voice cut through my thoughts like a knife. I hadn't even heard
