The Island of Doctor Moreau by H. G. Wells.

I am going to restore my reign over both worlds. First, with a pen. Next, with a knife. Remind them who sits on the throne of this concrete jungle. Repair the structure that was shattered when my Mia Bella was stolen from me. Revenge will be had. Restitution received. And for me to reestablish order, I will do whatever is necessary. For there is no cost that is too great. For there is no sacrifice that is too sizeable. I am a different man because of the only woman I'll ever love. And that man is more dangerous than anyone could've ever predicted.

"Doc" Hayes had experienced enough tragedy for several lifetimes, but he thought he had finally found his sanctuary amidst the rugged beauty of the Guadalupe mountain range. Together with his friend and business partner, Conor Byrne, a West Point graduate with a taste for adventure, Doc was the center of what he hoped would be a burgeoning frontier settlement. With the arrival of Kathleen Ryan, a young woman cloaked in secrets, unexpected trouble soon follows. And trouble often seems to have a way of begetting even more trouble.

I was raised to be a ruler of two worlds. One with a pen. One with a knife. Be the king of the concrete jungle at all costs. I should've simply taken a queen, not courted one. I should've forced her submission, not earned it. I should've let respect be enough, not fall in love. Someone has made a grave mistake in coming for my company. For my throne. For my Mia Bella. And for that, they will not only meet the man I was raised to become, but the one I am now, for the only woman I will ever bow to.

Until she can’t anymore. My mates have found me. All three of them. If these wolf shifters claim that I am theirs, that can only mean one thing—I’m not a witch, I’m a wolf shifter, too.

It seems I'm just in time to see the unrest in the wolf shifter world growing. Rogues are attacking pack lands, and I have a front-row seat. My mates swear to protect me, but what if I'm not the one that needs to be protected?
