fantasy romance werewolf

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...

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

Silver Eyes by CatnyxBlackthorn

When an average high school student, Silver, meets a mysterious, mercurial guy and joins a coven of witches, she is soon sucked into a fight between ancient beings brought into the world to control the human population. She resists her intended destiny, but doesn't shy away from the witchy power she possesses or the lycanthrope monster she becomes. As a rebellious teen and street artist, Silver knew of the popular gangs that roamed the streets at night, but she didn't know their dark secret. She finds herself entangled with vampyres and lycans when her boyfriend turns out to be a vampyre and her parentage isn't as average as she thought. She didn't realize the significance of her name wasn't just because of the color of her eyes, but a plan set out by her father to involve her in the war- the war that will change the world if Romulus and Lilith get their way and the existence of their kind is exposed to the humans. This is a dark vampire/lycan/witch romance + action novel (with some magic, some sex, and a lot of blood and gore) that I started writing ten years ago when I was in high school. It started as a darker version of Twilight, but I was influenced strongly by Underworld, Teen Wolf, Bitten, Vampire Diaries, and The Secret Circle. As the first of likely three novels, this is complete (but I will probably edit a hundred more times lol) and I am currently working on the second one! The Photo I used for the cover was taken by Fogbreath in 2007. I was unable to find the photographer to ask if I could use the photo, but at least it had their name on it and I can give them credit.

Run Free And Wild (watty awards2016) - Completed by BulletScuzzGwynn

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.
