Aniya Rossi – A twenty-two-year-old spoiled blond with light blue eyes who loves to shop and party, and is only focused on her own life and friends. The first Werewolf with a conscience, instead of a mindless beast like the others. Her mother was once the lover of a Werewolf without knowing it when her marriage had problems.
Nick Kerrisk – An Irish man and a nightmare Werewolf. The first time that Aniya met him, he was wearing a simple white shirt with some kind of drawing on the front, ripped jeans, and sneakers. He had dark eyebrows that contrasted with his dark green eyes. A chiselled chin, a beard two days old, a short haircut with a few tuffs over the left side of his forehead, and pink light-colored lips.
Davis – Aniya’s driver and bodyguard. He always carries two guns in holsters under his armpits.
Amy – A young Dior shop stylist.
Maddie – The sales manager in a Dior shop.
Emma Atkinson - Aniya’s friend and the tallest of the group. Brunette with brown eyes, short hair, always annoyed at everything. Secretly in love with Aniya.
Lisa McCarty – Aniya’s friend. Twenty-two years old, with long curly red hair, a freckled face, and an extremely cheerful personality, she is the soul of their group. Changes into a Werewolf with a fur of a copper colour.
Frank McCarty - Lisa’s father, the owner of a big newspaper.
Sharon McCarty – Lisa’s mother and a social worker.
Violet Green - Aniya’s friend. Dark long hair, dark blue eyes. The quietest of them all, she always preferred to be left alone than to call attention to herself. Unless she was with her friends, especially if Lisa was around because she had the most amazingly contagious laughter. A Werewolf that works for the Hunters, an ancient group that hunts and kills Werewolves.
Dan Rossi – Aniya’s father. A big and muscular man, who had nothing to do with the usual image of a powerful CEO of a major technological company. A thick moustache that ended in a curl at each end, knuckles with callouses caused by his long hours of punching bags, completely shaved hair, to disguise the lack of it on the top of his head and the owner of a natural thundering voice.
Violet Rossi – Aniya’s mother. A tall and blond woman with light green eyes like her daughter. Her curvilinear figure and generous-sized breasts hinted at her as a trophy wife, when, in fact, she was the actual power behind every decision her husband took. She was extremely intelligent, with a master’s degree in Finance and one in Accounting. She was the one pulling the strings. Her husband was a mere disguise because it was far easier to convince those traditionalists on the Board of Directors that a man was in charge of the company’s fate, instead of a sexy woman like her who had always been underestimated since her younger years.
Anna Kent – Aniya’s assistant in her company. A small young woman with dark blond hair that is always tied in a long braid and tiny glasses that almost conceal her dark blue eyes. Turns into a dark brown Werewolf, with more curves and taller.
Meredith Lion – Aniya’s attorney and Anna Kent’s aunt.
Hadrian Kendrick – The company’s former attorney.
Mister Smith – An older man with a long grey beard who is a member of the Board of Directors.
Mister Sellas - An older man with an absurdly large moustache and dark eyes, framed by a round face and short dark brown hair. He is also Meredith Sellas’ father.
George Williamson – The attorney of Dior, an older man with short grey hair.
Edison Harvey – Dior’s Marketing Manager, a middle-aged man wearing a dark blue suit.
Lucian Davis – Dior’s Executive Director, was twenty-one years old but looked rather young and was also a Hunter.
Jack Holland – Anna Kent’s friend. With a slender figure, his dark brown eyes, framed by his short dark brown hair and thick eyebrows, made him look older and always serious. Turns into a dark brown Werewolf.
Adrian Gordon – An anchor reporter for a News Channel. A Werewolf that likes his beast side way too much.
Lucas Dalton – The Leader of the Hunter Squad.
Ethan Quaid – A member of the Hunter Squad.
Peter Neylan – A member of the Hunter Squad.
Andreas Hansen – Aniya’s real father. A Norwegian Alpha Werewolf.
Blake Garvin – A member of the High Council of Hunters. An older man with grey hair and a beard.
Anthony Nolan – A member of the High Council of Hunters. A man with round glasses, a shaved beard, and short hair.
Jake Kinnerk - A member of the High Council of Hunters.
Meredith Sellas - A woman barista with dark brown curly hair and a bad temper. Robert calls her Mere.
Robert Isles - a Mixed Martial Arts fighter. A man with a scar over his left eyebrow and rough air, that speaks in a hoarse voice. Meredith calls him Robby.
Louise Green - Violet Green mother
Frank Green - Violet Green father
To “Eliza Selmer”, the laziest, whiniest, American gal I know! And to a certain British “Moonlight Muse” who was Aniya Rossi in her younger years! Oh, and my forever love, the Welsh mighty dragon, “Yukiro”! Together with “Ergelina”, the craziest Estonian woman I ever met, and the sweet Romanian “Yu Ina Cyo,” they all helped me when I got stuck in my story. They gave me ideas and an accurate point of view every time I asked. Much obliged, ladies.

Aniya Rossi sighed. She was correcting a tiny deviation in her perfectly drawn lip liner, but the limousine that was driving her trembled because of a bump on the road, and her lip pencil made a weird line on her left cheek. She pressed the console at her front and opened the privacy-shadowed mini window. Her personal driver noticed the movement and squeezed the steering wheel, getting ready for one more of her usual rants. “Davis, do you mind not driving like a toddler on his tricycle? You ruined my make-up! Just look at me! I look like a total freak!” <
It was almost two pm when Aniya left the shop. Maddie accompanied her to the exit and helped the driver put all the bags in the trunk. She then waved as Aniya entered her limousine, receiving a blown kiss in return. The cart rolled out, and Maddie kept her smile until she entered the shop again. There, she went straight to the reception counter and sat on the chair. She took a deep breath and leaned her head over the counter. Amy, the new stylist, got worried and asked, “Maddie, are you alright? Did Miss Aniya annoy you or-“ The shop manager raised one index finger and slowly waved it, without lifting her head. “We don’t talk about our customers on their backs, A
Two hours later, Aniya left the restaurant with her friends, and they all went to the gym together. For some years, they all trained in self-defence together, because Aniya convinced them it was the perfect way to bond their friendship and build their bodies, but they were never a match for her, considering she had been training for far longer than all of them combined. During the ride in Aniya’s limousine, and even with her friends doing what they could to distract her, Aniya couldn’t forget Nick’s dark green eyes, and she was silent most of the way. She forced herself to listen to Lisa Mc
Slowly, Aniya opened her eyes. Her mother’s worried face was looking at her, next to her father. Aniya sat with a jolt and frowned at the window. Her mother glanced at where her daughter was looking and asked, trying to disguise her nervousness, “What happened, dear? A bad dream? You screamed for so long that you woke up half the mansion!” “Is someone dead? No one is missing?” Violet Rossi bit her lower li
Aniya was already in her bedroom, walking back and forth, thinking about everything she had heard in that secret cave under her mansion. “|… I hope they believed my act. I can’t let them find out about Nick, and I also want to know if I am one of those things! And if I am, why did I never turn? Why did I never find out about all those things? I need to know more, and I must absolutely talk with Nick! …|” Aniya went to bed and had one of the worst nights of her life. Nick’s green eyes were looking at her, and then the beast would eat them from the inside out, emerging from his body. Her next train of thought was about her family’s secret. All that mingled with the plan she had
As the automatic door opened, a young woman rushed out of it, straight at Aniya. She made a big smile and greeted her, “Good morning, Miss Aniya! I was only told yesterday that you were coming today, but I have everything ready for you!” Aniya nodded, still a bit distracted in her thoughts, making her assistant wonder, “Is... everything alright, Miss Aniya? You look kind of...” “There is nothing you need to worry your pretty head about, Anna. Follow me. We need to prepare a few things before the meeting. Is the-“ Anna Kent rushed to accompany A
As they were walking in the elevator's direction again, Aniya picked up her phone to check why it was buzzing with new messages while she was in the meeting. When she saw all the photos her father sent, she muffled laughter, “Pfft!My father had some fun firing that annoying man! It’s better if you get yourself prepared, Miss Meredith, because I doubt our previous company attorney will go out peacefully. For sure, he will be at the meeting with the Board of Directors, seeking refuge and support from his friends there.” “Well, considering your shares, there is nothing he or the members of the Board can do against you. I still need to advise you not to decide anything against them right off the bat. Let them talk and then decide. As you said, you will need all the help you can g
Aniya got up with a jump. “That bloody idiot! What is he doing here? Quick, tell the reception to hide him in their room before my father sees him, or he will be dead meat! Go get him for me and tell him to hide his face as much as possible! Bring that knucklehead to my new office! Quick, Anna! Don’t you stand there looking at me like that!” Anna immediately gave Aniya’s message to the reception and ran out of the room. Meredith Lion noticed how Aniya looked flustered and that she was once again tapping her chest and taking deep, slow breaths. “Is something wrong, Miss Aniya? You look nervous.” “Yes... Just someone I wasn’t expecting to meet today, especially bec
