(X) Closed for submissions. While we wait for the TEGSA prompts to drop on July 1st, let's keep our nimble fingers busy. Introducing a mini-contest, well---a musical mini-contest. It is on the TEGSA profile after all. Let's see how this works...

When no good deed goes unpunished. Created by the Moon Goddess to protect her wolves from predators and those in power, the magical Mahani wolves should live idyllic lives, but the reality is cruel. In return for this help, the werewolves and humans hunt, torture, and kill the Mahani. However, nothing can stop these wolves from helping those who need them. So what happens when the tribe protecting Europe realizes the Moon Goddess has several of their fates intertwined within a wolf pack? Within the space of a few weeks, Grace finds her life turned upside down, Nicolas lives through a hellish encounter, and the Sinclairs become aware that they are in the sights of someone out for blood. Will the connection between the Mahani and the Sinclairs become a hindrance or a help? ----- This story is a werewolf fantasy dark drama. The front-end materials provide a complete content warning, since the chapters lack trigger markers. Stay safe in what you read. Because this is a new werewolf world, the front-end material also contains The Mahani World Guide, so you can get a feel for the ranks and powers before diving in. It is not a necessary read, but it's there if you need it.

Following a bizarre dream, Hazel throws caution to the wind and gets on a chartered jet to Dublin, Ireland. This lone wolf has no idea what the Moon Goddess has in store for her.

What happens when someone tasks Darius with watching over the new wolf shifter? And why was she sent by the goddess to Tir na nOg? ----- This story is only on W A T T P A D.
