What's more powerful than an alpha in his prime? A Lycanthrope, or lycan, the original descendants from the Moon Goddess herself, her first blessed children. Though, baring many similarities to the common wolf, lycans are bigger, faster, stronger, the healing process is heightened, aging is extremely slow, and everyone's favorite the beauty they have, the moons features.
After decades of only lycans, the Goddess created a new race of wolves, one that has healers, and oracles. During this centuries of fighting broke out for dominance, to be the top in packs. Lycans however had the upper hand, there is only one way to kill a lycan, severing the spinal cord from the cranium. Eventually more wolves were born, and the lycans were disappearing in numbers. Whole packs ambushing lycans, to destroy them.
Now centuries later hardly any lycans exist besides the untouchable royal family and those managed to escape from packs.
Meet Astra, a lycan who makes a living in the mundane lands as a "future teller" after her parents forced her flee before they were caught. Her now peaceful and boring life comes a halt when she finds her store destroyed, and a lingering sweet yet dangerous scent fills the air. Her heart telling her to run, but her instinct tells her no more running.
*Rated mature, strong language and violence. Chapters will have warnings at the top as well.*

Every time I tried to stop, something clenched in my stomach, instinctual and feral. It compelled me to move. Sometimes it felt like it was pulling me in the opposite direction, back the way I came. That feeling I ignored - nothing short of demonic possession could convince me to go anywhere near that forest ever again. It wouldn't be nearly long enough that I would realize I hadn't imagined that pull. That some invisible force was compelling me towards that man. To Nate. When I did realize, I made sure I used it to keep running in the opposite direction of wherever it told me to go. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Picture this: you're a 17 year old werewolf. Your Alpha, under false counsel, believes your entire family instigated a failed coup so he kills your parents, and you're next. Your options are basically die now, or turn rogue and die anyways. What do you choose - swift and painless, or drawn out and lonely? If you answered, "Neither," then you'd be correct. I didn't anticipate, though, that one bad theft in the beginning was going to send a ripple that would come back to haunt me in unimaginable ways.

Legacy of a Luna
ONLY CH 1-10 OPEN. AVAILABLE ON AMAZON KINDLE! ❤️ If you're here for your typical werewolf story, mine isn't it. There is no mighty Alpha Knight that will come save me, take care of all my problems and love me unconditionally. No, for I am a savage. 'The Bloody Red Queen' is what they call me. I ascended my throne as Luna of the Nightingale pack after the death of my parents. I was a single child of two wolves of a very special ancestry, the last two descendants of the Gypsy Gail line. No, my parents weren't related, no incest here. However, both did carry blood from the first Lycan clan to ever exist. The Gypsy Gail pack. It is said it got its name and its power from the Gypsies who lived amongst it. They too praised the Moon Mother and in return, she soon paired them with her beloved creations as mates. This of course, changed the history of Lycans forever. Soon, werewolves with unique capabilities came to exist. Many used these gifts to better the world around them and others, well obviously didn't. Then there were those that were not gifted abilities. They grew scornful and jealous. When they broke away, they formed packs of their own and soon wars raged. Over the millennia, the Gypsy Gail pack fell, as did most of its descendants. Only a few lived on in secret, passing down their traditions and rituals in dark corners amongst those highly trusted. The world now believes that the Moon Mother has turned her back on the Lycans of today. Nothing could be further from the truth. Many no longer seek her guidance or offer her praise. Those that still do are looked down upon as weak. But as the heir to the last of the Gypsy Gail gifts, I am to right the wrongs. My purpose is to put the Moon Mother back in the forefront and unite the Lycan packs. To bring a permanent peace. I am Luna Amina Sage of the Nightingale pack. And this is my purpose. This, is my legacy.Complete

Her Secret
I sighed heavily as I scanned the forest. I had heard something or someone to be specific, wandering about. I decided I would leave once I affirmed they weren't a danger. "What are you doing in my land, human?" A deep enchanting voice spoke I sighed once again "I'm not human, just smell like one" I spoke as I turned around to see the most stunning man I have ever seen "Mate" he spoke "Find another female, Lycan" I spat He only growled at me in response. Men. My brother was the same way. It's kinda funny how all, correction, most shifter men think alike. I would've thought he would be different, after all, he is Lycan. Something of myths. But then again, so are the supernatural. I turned away from him, not even looking at him. I didn't want to remember what he looked like so I didn't give him a second glance. I heard him move closer. I quickly grabbed the knife out of my holster and threw it at a tree next to him. He stops moving then. "Heed my warning. It's the only one you'll get" I spoke coldly "I will find you. Then you will have no escape from me" he spoke as he backed away I could understand. Lycans, like lion-shifters, were going extinct. Therefore mates were even more important to them. But, even if I understood I still didn't want to be someone's mate. After all, I was Destiny Requalhi, Creator and Destructor of All. ------------------------------ Destiny Requalhi, a girl with a rough past and set in stone future.

Gifted to the Alpha (SAMPLE) Amazon
Forget what you know about the fairytales of werewolves. There's no such thing as a moon goddess, there's no such thing as mates. Wolves are animals cruel, mean, and ferocious. The law can't touch them. The world leaves them alone. They govern their own. That's what I was thought and so far all has been true. What I didn't know was that my little town had a tradition. The harvest was established to create peace between species, every year a girl is offered to the Alpha. I've gone, and luckily never been selected. My future is bright and my thirst for knowledge wins without doubt. Only, I was gifted to the Alpha, a piece offering given to leave the town alone. Presented to him a slave, gifted to an animal. My mother cried, my sister chastised, while I lied. My future is gone but my family is safe. That's all that matters for today, but tomorrow is another story. So tell me.....What happens when the big bad Alpha grows attached?

Trinity (A Werewolf Novel) ✔
[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.
