For as long as Arabella could remember the royals had always taken this time of year to take another bride for their family. The air was crisper and ran chills through your skin to your bones. The birds were scarce and the animals had gone into hibernation. The Royals had two different houses. There were the Dracul. They were vampires; evil beings. The second house were Lycaon. They were werewolves and even more brutal than the vampires.
Most women found husbands before this time but some were chosen to be the sacrifices for their village.
Some brides were killed upon arrival. Some were prisoners.
No one wanted to be a sacrifice...
Then Arabella meets Ulrik Lycaon...

Solitary
Solus is often alone. She fits her name rather well in fact, as that is the only thing she knows how to be. Drifting in between meaningless relationships, shielding herself from her family, she works to make herself as invisible as possible. Insignificant even. How could a werewolf, a social creature who craves company, and family; a pack of their own. How could a wolf like Solus possibly exist when she can do without any of those things. Years of lost hopes and fighting her demons finally catches up with her when she finds herself caught up with the one person she was sure she could try and live without. Her mate. The very person that will rip her open and see her for all she truly is. Scars and all. This is a story about healing, this is a story about pain, this is story about silent suffering, but also the destruction a painfully deep wish can bring. The wish, to not be alone, the wish to finally be loved. The wish to be whole again. Warning: Sexual Abuse, Drug Abuse, Alcohol Abuse, Trauma, Cursing, Suggestive Dialogue, talks of Depression, Suicide, and Torture. (If you keep reading passed this point, it's on you.)Complete
Her Mate - Olivia (The Gray Wolves Series #1)
Suddenly, I feel a hand that intertwines mine. The touch is warm but still not enough to comfort me after the news I've just got. I feel someone is leading me out of the office. Nothing is really clear to me. I barely see my parents, Julie and Eli's face as the hand keeps on pulling me away from them. No more links with Elijah. I don't know if I closed my mind or if he did. But I can't feel him anymore. My feet follow the lead. I raise my head and I see that the Prince is calmly leading me to the stairs. Before we start to climb the stairs, I feel a hand on my lower back while the other is still intertwined with mine. The Prince looks at me and no emotions can be read on his face. Does he have a heart? Can lycan love as gently as wolves? A wolf would be difficult to live with as a human. How is it going to work with a lycan? Is it even possible? I've never heard of such a thing. What has Moon Goddess done? Olivia is the daughter of the Blue Lakes Pack's Alpha and twin sister of the soon-to-be Alpha. Despite her Alpha bloodline, Olivia never got the chance to meet her wolf. Without a wolf, Olivia has the choice to stay in her pack or travel the world and live among humans. But the day she turns 20, when her brother becomes the new Alpha, nothing goes as expected. When some rebellious wolves threaten to attack, the Royal Lycan Family decides to send one of the Princes to take care of the situation. What happens when a kind Wolf-less girl meets a mysterious Lycan Royal Prince? One thing is sure: Olivia's journey will not be the one she expected.

Michael reached under my short skirt and ripped my panties. His mouth found my knees and my inner tighs. Both of my hands flew to my mouth in order to supress the moans.

Flashes of euphoria cursed through me when he licked my folds and sucked gently my sensitive nerve bud. "You are so fucking wet and delicious."

Entwined ✔️
They took everything from her ...the damned Werewolves. Her mother, her coven, her freedom. And then, she found out she was the mate of the Alpha prince whose father destroyed her life as she knew it. She was the one. She was fated for him, but could she handle all that being his mate would entail? Could she handle the politics? The jealously? The sex? 〰️〰️〰️ I was determined to ensure he couldn't ignore me. Looking around nervously to make sure everyone was still preoccupied, I removed my flats from my right foot. Then I leaned closer and found his leg again. I ran my stockinged toes over his ankle, moving it up, slowly. He looked at me again, sharply, his eyes darkening. I gave him an innocent smile and looked away. I continued to move my foot up, higher and higher, ignoring his eyes. Soon, my foot found his already hard erection. Good goddess, he was always ready. Gently, I pressed the curve of my foot against him, feeling the fast pulse of his erection. I heard his sharp intake of breath and glanced up at him. His eyes were now black with arousal but he was looking at me intensely, like he wanted me to stop. Tough luck. 〰️〰️〰️ Started: 25 June, 2020 ...... Rated RComplete

Run Free And Wild (watty awards2016) - Completed
Aleksandryja Edrick. The girl who you don't even know exists. Maybe you've copied a couple times off her in class or she's done your homework for you. But she's just another outcast. A sheep among wolves. Literally. The town she lives in, unbeknownst to her, is full of werewolves! She's one of only seven humans in a town of 2600 people! Talk about rare. Wolfgang Burkan. The popular sexy god of McCullough High School. Every guy wants to be him, every girl wants to be with him, yet none of them catch his eyes, apart from one... the lonely outcast Aleks. Did I mention that he's a werewolf? The alpha of the strongest pack in Scotland? Hell, strongest in Britain, maybe even the world! Aleks does not know how to take Wolfgang's sudden interest in her, but slowly opens up to him; having a crush on the guy who asks you out kinda does that to a girl. Soon Aleks begins to get suspicious of Wolfgang and his strange mannerisms: the growling, his overprotective nature and possessiveness, and let's not forget the fact that a large black wolf seems to follow her whenever she's in the woods. She soon discovers the horrifying truth about Wolfgang and the rest of her town. Oh, and the fact that her two incredibly protective older brothers are hunters. Werewolf hunters to be exact! In a story of love, betrayal, conflict and werewolves, shit is gonna literally hit the fan.Complete
