Bound to the Werewolf

Hillcrest Hollow Shifters #0.5 / 4
by Vala Stone
Bound to the Werewolf (Hillcrest Hollow Shifters #0.5) by Vala Stone
Unrated

A lynx on the run, a wolf looking for his mate, and danger on the prowl.

Freya

Running is what I’m good at, as a lynx, I’m a total loner. I don’t need anyone, least of all a meddlesome wolf who sticks his nose where it doesn’t belong. Worse, he’s a small town good boy. Too straight-laced for his own good.

But running gets tiresome, even for an established loner like me. With sparks flying against my better judgment, and danger dogging my heels. I might just let the wolf have a little nibble. What could possibly go wrong?

Kai

Freya isn’t just trouble—she is the kind of trouble that sinks into your bones, gets under your skin, and refuses to let go. And I wanted her anyway.

The pull between us is undeniable, and the more I fight it, the stronger it becomes. It isn’t just attraction—it is something deeper, older. My wolf has recognized her.

But Freya? She isn’t the claiming type.

Not yet, anyway.

Vala Stone

Vala Stone is a writer who brings the supernatural and the romantic to life with every page, capturing the hearts of readers who crave more than just a love story. Living in a small, cozy town, she crafts tales where passion meets the paranormal, creating worlds filled with intrigue, danger, and, of course, swoon-worthy romance. Whether it’s a mystical creature or a powerful alien, her heroes are as unforgettable as the heroines who steal their hearts.

When she's not penning her next paranormal romance, Vala enjoys the calming rhythm of crocheting, a hobby that, much like her writing, requires patience and attention to detail. A self-proclaimed binge-watcher, Vala’s love for supernatural shows like Supernatural seeps into her storytelling, where she weaves thrilling plots and complex relationships that feel just as immersive as the TV series she adores. In fact, her inspiration often comes from the idea that anything—no matter how strange or impossible—can happen in a world where the supernatural is real.

Known for her bold blend of romance and the fantastical, Vala writes under the pen name Robin O'Connor to dive into the world of sci-fi monster romances. Her popular series like Gladiators of the Vagabond and Serpents of Serant combine the thrill of the unknown with deeply emotional love stories, attracting fans of both romance and science fiction. Her heroes range from alien gladiators to mystical beings, but they all share one thing in common: their undeniable chemistry with the women who challenge and change them.

Living with her family and a mischievous tortoiseshell cat she rescued as a stray, Vala’s everyday life is filled with the same kind of unexpected twists that make her stories so captivating. With a knack for creating immersive, heart-stopping tales, Vala Stone is carving a space for herself in the world of romance and supernatural fiction, one page at a time.

Hillcrest Hollow Shifters

In Hillcrest Hollow, the ordinary is only a façade. Beneath the town’s quiet streets and misty forests lies a world where dragons, griffins, minotaurs, and vampires live hidden among humans, each carrying secrets that could change everything. When Rosemary inherits a forgotten farmhouse, she is drawn into this hidden realm, discovering not only her own mysterious powers but also a bond with Chardum, a dragon long bound beneath the earth.

As the series unfolds, every shifter brings a new story of danger, desire, and discovery. Kess faces her past while forming unexpected connections, Gwendolyn navigates a fresh start complicated by love and responsibility, and others confront the boundaries between loyalty, destiny, and the heart. Through each tale, Hillcrest Hollow pulses with its own life—shadowed, enchanting, and alive with magic.

Vala Stone blends romance, suspense, and fantasy into a world where every relationship is tested, every secret has a consequence, and every choice can ignite transformation. Rich with atmospheric tension and vivid character arcs, the series explores themes of identity, belonging, and the transformative power of love, offering readers an immersive journey that lingers long after the last page.

For those who crave supernatural intrigue, emotional depth, and worlds that feel both dangerous and intimate, Hillcrest Hollow Shifters opens the door to a hidden reality you won’t want to leave.
