Imprinted
An EroSpec Serial Shifter Fantasy by Elijah Steele
JACKSON “JAX” BAPTISTE has always felt different—too sharp, too aware, too alive beneath the skin. The truth finds him in the form of Julien, a magnetic stranger who reveals what the old Cajun tales distorted: Jax is Rougarou, born of a bloodline meant to be hidden.
In the cathedral-turned-nightclub of Elysium and its sin-soaked underbelly, Inferno, desire turns dangerous. One night of forbidden passion leaves Julien imprinted on Jax—bonded, claimed, and marked by a truth Julien never fully shared.
Trying to outrun the connection, Jax buries himself in strangers… unaware he’s imprinting every one of them in return. Until he meets Bastien—devastating, grounding, irresistible. But Bastien carries a lineage far deadlier than Jax realizes: the blood of the hunters who once slaughtered his kind… starting with Jax’s father.
In New Orleans, some monsters aren’t myth—and some myths aren’t monsters.
ELIJAH STEELE is inventing a new genre—part erotica, part speculative fiction, all fire. His stories fuse unapologetic gay lust with the story scale of fantasy and sci-fi, proving that worldbuilding can be just as raw, carnal, and dangerous as life itself. Each story blends imaginative stories with unflinching eroticism, pulling readers into worlds where passion drives the plot and desire reshapes destiny.
Elijah writes with the sensitivity of an empath and the sexual appetite of a storyteller who refuses to hold back. When he isn’t at the keyboard, you can usually find him in the kitchen cooking or just enjoying time with his husband and two mini schnauzers in Tampa, Florida—living life as boldly as the worlds he creates.
