One night, a rainstorm changed everything in the blink of an eye. It started from small town and spreading fast like a plague to the heart of the city. The sweet fragrance once brought comfort now brings death to the front door leaving terror in its wake. Many have died with smile of fake, sweet dreams. Now everyone must choose who to trust or not and survive until dawn. Before the reflection is the last thing they see before they die. These are the prompt: 97.When the world slips into endless darkness, something begins to move in the shadows and you must find a way to survive in a night that never ends. 103. During a city-wide blackout, every reflective surface begins showing a version of you that isn't human

The world is frozen. The wolves are supposed to be extinct. Akira Tsukino knows both are lies. Hiding in human form inside the last living city, Akira has survived by staying small, quiet... and invisible. But when a reckless act exposes what he truly is, he's captured by the very nobles who wiped his kind from the world. He should have died there. Instead, a mysterious girl with silver hair and a lace-covered gaze sets him free-claiming she can lead him to Sanctuary, a place where wolves can live without fear. With hunters on their trail and the deadly White Expanse ahead, survival is no longer enough. Trust becomes dangerous. Weakness becomes deadly. And when a ruthless lone wolf crosses their path, Akira is forced to face a truth he's spent his life avoiding: In a world built to destroy him... he may not be strong enough to survive it. For fans of dystopian fantasy, slow-burn romance, and found family in the harshest of worlds. Prompt 86 - A wasteland hides pockets of thriving communities protected by mysterious shields.

[Arranged Marriage • Age Gap • Slow Burn] Elisabeth Arden is the eldest daughter of one of the most powerful werewolf dynasties in America, the family that has ruled the vast territory of Los Angeles for generations. To keep their bloodline pure, the Ardens have always formed alliances through arranged marriages with other pure-blood werewolves. So when her grandfather, the patriarch of the family, announces that Elisabeth will marry Richard Dawson, the son of the Alpha who rules Northern California, she accepts without hesitation. Even though she is only nineteen, she was raised for this moment and is ready to do her part for the good of her family. Richard Dawson, however, is cold and unreadable, the kind of man who never lets anyone see what he thinks, what he wants, or what he feels. In a world ruled by power, loyalty, and blood, love has never been part of the agreement. But Elisabeth is determined to prove that even a marriage born from duty can become something more. Although the man she married seems to hide his heart behind an impenetrable wall.

In a kingdom governed by threes and traditions reaching back to the very Founder, Calla must navigate the Accords and her own loyalties. Once dismissed as an outsider, she rises within the Krillian court's careful cruelty, the King's favor finding her more than some believe it should. Ares Valebrand, her shadow and sentinel, gathers half-lies and hidden knowledge, building the steps she climbs toward power. Yet as Calla grows more entangled in the politics of the rival courts, whispers turn to screams inside of her, and her body bears marks she cannot fully remember. Symbols that feel less like scars and more like pleads. Note: Please let me know your thoughts in the comments!!! It is very appreciated. I love this story.

It arrived before the sirens. Before the emergency alerts. Before the sky split open with fire. When civilization collapses in a single night, Alex retreats to the only thing he had dedicated his life to - only to discover he is not alone. The cat has followed him underground. As days stretch into something unrecognizable, the bunker becomes a chamber of memory and doubt. The cat listens to sounds Alex cannot hear. It stares at ceilings before aftershocks and strikes. In a world reduced to ash, and with systems and supplies dwindling, survival is no longer the only question. Some warnings come too late. Other warnings shouldn't be ignored. ---------------------------------------------------------- This is my official entry for the 2026 Open Novella Contest!
