Lara Henderson is Dustin's older sister. She left Hawkins at fourteen to finish high school in another town. Four years later, she has built a quiet and predictable life far from the place she once called home. But everything begins to shift when Dustin's letters start to change. At first, they are long and enthusiastic and full of the usual chaos that only he can create. Then they become shorter and colder, as if he is carrying something too heavy to share. Her mother's phone calls make things worse. The pauses are long and the explanations vague. Will Byers disappeared for days and came back, but no one seems willing to say what actually happened. Jonathan does not respond when she tries to contact him. Joyce sounds exhausted. And Dustin, who always told her everything, suddenly feels miles away. To Lara, Hawkins has always been an ordinary town where nothing extraordinary should ever have happened. But her instinct tells her that something is wrong, and Dustin needs her. That alone is enough. When she returns, the city feels different. Too quiet, too cautious. The Byers' house carries a strange heaviness. Dustin's friends avoid certain topics. And Steve Harrington, who had once been only the popular boy from school, now stands out as someone unexpectedly kind and protective, someone who seems to understand more than he says. Lara knows nothing about portals or creatures. She has no idea what happened while she was gone. What she does know is that Hawkins is not the place she left, and neither is she.

[Completed] Every Wolf Moon, humans are selected from each village to be sacrificed to the werewolves; creatures worshipped by humans as godlike figures. In a twist of fate, seventeen year old Mila Young is selected to be the annual sacrifice for the Trinity pack, the most powerful pack ruled by King Alpha Roman Stone. Alpha Roman and all werewolves under his rule are cursed. His hatred for the humans and his war on the deity Moon Goddesses has caused his kind to lose the favor of their blessings. However, when Mila reveals herself to have a connection to the werewolves unlike anything a human has ever had before, it becomes apparent that she may be the key to ending the suffering of Roman and his wolves... if only he can overcome the lifelong hatred that clouds his mind and darkens his heart. Excerpt: "You smell like wolf," The King Alpha declared, his voice low and angry. "I killed one," I both explained the smell and threatened at the same time. "And you think you can kill me? You think you can take my pack?" I glanced around at all the lycans still in their wolf forms, bowing obediently towards me. Could I take all of them on? I doubted it. I didn't even think I'd get this far. I didn't even know what was going on. When I turned back to the King Alpha, he was significantly closer. "Stay back!" I cried out in fear. The power flared within me once more, lifting whimpers from around me. The King Alpha hesitated again, his eyes skating over me with confusion. He took a deep breath, sniffing the air around me as he hadn't yet gotten any closer. "You smell like... my mate." {{Warning: Some scenes may be unsuitable for audiences below the age of 15 and offensive to those of all ages. Read at your own risk.}} Rankings: #1 in Lycans #1 in wolf

When my mother was alive, magic was the only string that kept her and I together. The silly card tricks, even pulling a rabbit out of the hat. It all connected me to her, pulling me into a seemingly better reality than where I was. But in the blink of an eye, she was gone. That string snapped. Magic was only real if you believed, and at that point, it was just a game to me. All it did was provide false hope. I forced myself to keep performing for her, deceive others into thinking that what they saw was real. Seeing magic fill others with joy made me question; why. Why would seeing something impossible make someone so happy? Because seeing is believing. And the closer you look, the less you'll see.
