Okami

Detective Jessie O'Brien is used to cases about illegal items docking at the local marine port, some easy to handle and others life threatening. She is however always ready for anything except this one time. This time she receives something different. Something that comes with much intrigue and wonder. And for the first time during her service in the local police department, she is clueless of what action to take because right there in front of her eyes is a woman. A woman beaten by the harsh conditions of the sea, a woman coiled up in a corner scared to death. How did she get there all alone? And in a container supposed to be holding illegal drugs she was supposed to bust? And most importantly, what is she supposed to do with her? Two women from entirely different worlds unite to fight against a common crime which affects them in different ways, yet so similar. Family should be the backbone of every person's happiness but to them, it is the source of their very tribulations. They must fight to make sure that they bring this evil to an end and on their road towards that, they realize that they share a connection deeper than either of them can fight. They both have to find a way to stay alive if only to save this one perfect cheese piece even though fate might just have other plans for them.

The story follows two perspectives: The popstar Anya Moore and the disliked and unknown rockstar Sadie Ozoa. Both of them live different lives that they wish to change, and it happened the moment they bumped into each other when they made wrong decisions that one unfaithful night. Although strangers, they thought the unexpected: run as far away from the situation that could have led to their wishes. They don’t know how they ended up walking together and they don’t know why. But all they want to do is to escape from the environment they were surrounded by. Anya and Sadie thought they would be distant but with every step they took, they started to know so much about each other and what they have one thing in common: they hated how the world has become. They then thought what if they rebuild Earth where it is all ruled by only the two of them and make it a reality? As they go on the journey to create their own world, Anya sees that Sadie is more than an outcast and Sadie sees that Anya is more than just a star--they are each other’s world. But with the world that is against their odds, will they be able to show their truth? It wasn't until Anya's wealthy mother found a way to separate each other--for good. And this is where Anya opens her eyes wide to the reality that she was only happy when she was with Sadie. And she tries anything in her power to show her true self, all thanks to Sadie.

Aella “whirlwind” Harlow was looking at the screen of her phone with earbuds on, the live speech of Aniya Rossi in the United Nations. She sighed and mumbled, when it ended, “Dumbass… Werewolves accepted by society, protectors, helping Humanity achieve greatness. Yeah, greatness my butt! A good Werewolf is a dead Werewolf! Spoiled brat… Stupid b*tch…” She checked her quiver, counting the darts still there. A quick glance at the pistol crossbow on the left side of her belt, and at the Ruger gun inside the holster under her left armpit. Grabbing her faithful Labrys, a double edge axe, was the last thing she did before hearing a howl nearby.
