I found this story on fanfiction.net and decided to show it to the Wattpad community. All rights to the author of this fanfiction - Hans50 - from whom I got permission to post this story here. He's an awesome writer and you should go check out his account and his other story: Betrayed Son of the Sea. Perseus Jackson is trapped in Tartarus. After the council of the gods, save a few, betray and sentence him to eternal suffering, something happens to our hero that will change him forever. He is tortured and cursed. With a horrible curse placed upon him that turns him into the things that he hunts and despise, will he suffer in the pit or will he thrive? He is the Monster Shifter. (By the way, this is not a Percabeth story. Just a heads-up for the Percabeth fans.) DISCLAIMER: I don't own this story, Hans50 and Rick Riordan do.

(Also affectionately known as "Wolves in the Big City"). Meet George, twenty-eight year old university librarian who is a little awkward at best and downright anti-social at worst. She's also a lone wolf who lost her parents as a teenager and has been on her own ever since. She's worked hard to live as one person in two worlds - the Human World and the world of Wolves. While she has been blessed richly with the gifts of Gaia's children, she uses then at a minimum and only shifts when she needs to. Apart from her friend/voice of reason Dominic, she has no other links to her Wolfen nature, and has worked very hard to keep in check for the past fifteen years. The only thing that gives it away is her golden eyes, which most people mistake as being hazel. That all changes when she meets Julian, a twenty-one year old university student who lives with his roommates in an apartment nearby. He is everything she isn't - happy, relaxed, and carefree. She catches his scent one fateful Sunday, and against all odds, he manages to find his way into her life. He is the only human who has managed to bring the wolf right out of her. Once cool, calm, and collected, Julian manages to break the walls she's fought hard to put up and she finds herself falling for him. And while she's never believed in the idea of "mates", George is beginning to think that this happy-go-lucky Julian just might be hers... Oh crap.

[COMPLETED!] (Sequel to How to be a Queen) Aerith and Hades already have their fairytale ending. They've also been blessed with twins: Aidon and Aurea. I'm Aurea by the way and this is my story. When I was born, the Fates declared that me and my brother will live a difficult life. And I guess they were right for we were both born with no powers. We were two new immortals who cannot be a god and a goddess for we had no powers. Is this a curse? Nah. Maybe we were just born this way or maybe we were just late bloomers? I sure hope so. Oh, one more thing. When my brother and I turned eighteen, the Three Fates came to our party and allowed us each a question. Being a naive little girl, I asked. "Who will I share eternity with?" They answered with: "You are meant for death." Well what did they mean with that? Am I meant to die? Will I ever get my powers? Will I ever find someone who'll love me? Will I get the fairytale ending my parents have? ***Credits to @DarkLeague for the cover***
