The Gaylord Hotel's secret meeting room hosted a round table of mafias. In front of each member, along with snacks, a bottle of sweet red wine, and a glass. Cigars and lighters were also provided. The men displayed their power by keeping their pistols in front. Tony Lucas, the most important Don of this city and country, had two unchained, black leopards beside him. No one cared. They often held meetings with Tony Lucas.

During the gathering, a foreign mafia member, the powerful Don Mario, challenged Tony Lucas to increase the stock deliveries to him or he would get another business partner. Tony vowed to buy a farm to deliver more hashish, ganja, opium, and brown sugar.

Latecomers board the Boeing 737, its engines warming up. It is six o’clock in the morning. The plane gets ready for an early departure from Inverness to London.

I've always felt a unique connection with felines, a bond deeper than simple understanding. I'm Amara, a passionate artist, a hunter, and a shapeshifter. But when Kaelen, an enigmatic feline shifter from the icy world of Frostaria, arrives on my doorstep, my world shifts in ways I could never imagine.

Suddenly, I'm thrust into an epic adventure, one where our love becomes a beacon in the shadows. We're from different realms, different worlds entirely, yet we're drawn together by forces we can't understand. But love alone can't guarantee survival, especially when darkness is threatening to consume everything.
