Your Stray

THE STRAY Dark Romance | Fantasy • Supernatural • Paranormal • Shifters • Weres Tagline: You thought you rescued a stray. He thinks you brought home your mate. You're the only virgin left in existence. Not by choice. Not because you're particularly innocent. You simply never found anyone worth giving yourself to. And you have absolutely no idea why that makes you special. Because as far as you know, monsters aren't real. Vampires, weres, demons, witches, shifters, immortals—those belong in books, movies, and nightmares. You have no idea they're walking among you. Or that untouched human blood has become virtually extinct. And yours is priceless. Sacred to some. Addictive to others. A source of power to the worst of them. Then you find him. A massive, wounded stray collapsed behind your home. Against your better judgment, you bring the poor animal inside. You clean his wounds, feed him, give him medicine, brush his fur, and surrender half your bed when he refuses to sleep anywhere else. He becomes ridiculously attached. Possessive. Demanding. And suspiciously spoiled. Then one morning, you wake up beside a very naked man. A very large, very smug naked man. And those familiar eyes are staring back at you. Turns out your helpless stray isn't helpless. He isn't even injured. He's a powerful shapeshifter who caught your scent weeks ago and decided impersonating a wounded animal was easier than asking permission to enter your home. Now that his deception has been exposed, he sees absolutely no reason to leave. Or wear clothes. Or stop expecting breakfast. Worse? He knows exactly what you are. And while every supernatural creature in existence would kill to possess the last virgin... Your stray has already decided they can't have you. Because as far as he's concerned, you picked him up. You brought him home. You fed him. You cuddled him. You called him yours. And among his kind? That's practically a mating proposal.
