The Luna and Her Moon
At just eighteen, Anna Kilmer finds herself trapped in a continuous loop of forced prostitution and abusive treatment, unaware of how to get out. That is, until she decides to escape, oblivious to the fact she would run into the arms of another man who scares her like the rest. However, the funny part about Xavier West isn't that Anna is afraid of him because he's abusive; in fact, she's afraid because he's the first man to treat her with the respect she deserves. Unfortunately her struggles aren't over yet; she must integrate into Xavier's society of werewolves, pushing aside the remnants of her dark past to look forward to the future. The only problem is, her role as a Luna might become her breaking point; she may not be able to live the life she's always dreamed of living. "The Luna and Her Moon is a Werewolf Romance that follows a main character who has experienced sexual trauma in her history and is learning to love and live for herself. kerfuffled_ has written a story that does not gloss over the traumas that the character has experienced, and shows that people continue to live with these traumas whether they want them to stay in the past or not.

At First Sight
Not your average rejection story. Usually the boy does something stupid - and keeps being stupid - the girl forgives and forgets and gets pulled in by the mate bond. Ignoring all his transgressions because 'the bond said so'. Not this time, sometimes fate gets it wrong and sometimes you grow out of things; like love. Vivian Clark is a mostly normal girl, as normal as you can be when you're more than eccentric mother is the head of a coven of witches. Something that; according to her, is a long standing tradition and more people need their apothecary than Viv realizes. While Vivian practices magic and identifies as a witch, it's more of a religion than a lifestyle in her eyes. She doesn't know there are very real powers laying dormant in her bloodline, and very real creatures that not only lurk in the night but often lurk on her doorstep. Trevor Erikson; a hot shot jock, a playboy, and Mr. Popularity, he could have any girl he wants and often does. Going from one to another and enjoying every minute of it. Despite the fact that he's a werewolf and an alpha's son, he could care less about fated mates or finding a luna for his pack. Which he'll eventually take over at the end of the school year. He doesn't take it too well when his fated mate shows up unannounced, and he does what any asshole would do. He rejects her at first sight. How will the two manage with a rejection floating between them for the remainder of the school year? ************************************** A fast-paced romance with mature scenes, all based in a fantasy world. If that's your vibe this is your story to read. This is my second work and I had to get it out of my brain cause it's all I could think of while writing a completely different book, there will be slow updates.
