Sinopse

Fourteen visionary stories from every corner of the world, to examine in depth a subject underlying any literary work: the relationship between love and time.
Fourteen tales of the purest science fiction, original works from the pens of the genre's most influential indie authors, that speak of dreams and fears, ranging from the infinitely small to the infinitely large, that look to the heavens as to the depths of the Earth, but are, all of them, stories in which Time doesn't rule: its grip on humanity unhinged by Love, which is the true, only force that moves the world forward, as Dante Alighieri already suggested in the very last verse of his Divina Commedia.
The future in which these stories are set is almost always dystopian, and is rooted in the perversions of the present: climate change, ecological catastrophes, political upheavals and the rarefaction of human relationships, to name but a few examples. However, somehow Love does not abandon human beings, it becomes multifaceted to accommodate new ways of living, but it never gives up being a driving force and hope for renewal.

The Alpha’s Unwanted Luna Mate

jesse Shackelford

The Alpha didn’t want a mate—especially not her.When fate marks her as the destined Luna of the most feared Alpha in the region, she expects a bond… not a sentence. One cold look is all it takes to understand the truth: in his world, she’s an inconvenience, a weakness, an unwanted claim he refuses to acknowledge.But a mate bond doesn’t care about pride, politics, or old grudges.Dragged into pack life and trapped under rules she never agreed to, she’s forced to stand beside a man who treats the bond like a curse—while every wolf around them watches for her to fail. The pack is restless. The council is pressuring him to take control. And something dark is prowling just beyond the borders, drawn to the power of a Luna awakening.She can either shrink into the role he never asked for… or become the kind of Luna no one can ignore.Because the more he pushes her away, the more dangerous it becomes to want him back—and the more the bond starts to reveal a truth neither of them is ready to face.The Alpha’s unwanted mate might be the only one who can save his pack… and his heart.By jesse Shackelford
