Firewall and Fangs

In progress

He wasn’t born a monster. He was made one. Now he has to choose what kind of monster he wants to be.

Aiden Grove has spent his life behind a screen—MIT scholarship student, gifted coder, and expert at staying out of things that aren’t his business. Until the night he steps in to stop an old classmate from being trafficked—and ends up bitten by a werewolf.

Dragged into a supernatural world he never knew existed, Aiden is placed with a prestigious pack to learn control. But what starts as training quickly unravels into cruelty hidden beneath polished routines. And when the alpha’s son recruits him for a high-stakes heist, Aiden finds himself clinging to the only thing that still feels like belonging—even if it's built on lies.

As secrets unravel and loyalties fracture, Aiden must decide who he can trust—and what he’s willing to become to survive. Because in a world of monsters, sometimes the only way to protect others… is to out-monster them.

Firewall & Fangs is a gritty urban fantasy about trauma, power, and the dangerous freedom of forging your own path—even when it means breaking the rules.
