Her breath like the puffs of a winter dragon.
The vibrant red billowed out.
She tried to follow the path but it was taken from her.
Now she moves forward, trying to calm her dislocated thoughts.
Maybe her godmother can help her and the little one that cries with her.
A retelling of the classic Red Riding Hood

Little Miss Red Riding
Now, Red is a story book character, but here is a story that nobody has ever heard of before. Red Ridinghood is a wolf hunter to the third degree. She is twenty five with brown hair. Her eyes as white as ice. This is how werewolves think that she's one of them, but she's not. Red carries around a bow and arrow in her little basket so that she doesn't seem suspicious. Her gran made it for her before she died from a werewolf attack. Red's first werewolf was at the age of fifteen when gran died and she has been killing ever since. But let's just go through the background details. When Red was about five, she got a red hood and a basket. She would always go from her little cottage to Gran's old home by a pathway, that was eroded with weeds and daisies, so that she could deliver her mother's famous home made jam drop biscuits. Now this is a time without any cars so it was about a half an hour's walk. Yes, Red would always hear things in the forest an turn around to see who it was. No one there. So she kept walking. The only thing is that you can never fall for a werewolf. This was going to be hard. Warning: the following chapter may contain corse language, spiritual violence and fantasy drama.Completa
The Wolf and the Crimson Hood
They warned her about the forest. They told her it was cursed, that no one who entered Ebon Hollow ever returned. That monsters lurked beyond the boundary, waiting to drag the foolish into the darkness. Alina Everwood never believed in fairy tales. But when her grandmother falls deathly ill and the only cure lies deep within the forbidden woods, she has no choice but to face the unknown. Determined to save the only family she has left, she crosses into the Hollow, only to come face to face with the one creature she was always told to fear. A wolf with golden eyes and silver-gray fur, far larger than any she has ever seen. A hunter cloaked in shadows, watching her with something far too human in his gaze. But the deeper she ventures, the more she learns the truth. The real monsters wear human faces. The wolf is not the danger, he is the warning. And now that she has entered his domain...he will never let her go. A dark fairytale retelling of Little Red Riding Hood, blending slow-burn romance, danger, and the call of the wild. Obviously the original idea for this story isn't mine, but the story and the designs are my own. I hope you enjoy!

Book #1 in The Bonds of Fate Series "Excuse me sirs, but I think one of you dropped something." She spoke, her eyes not entirely fixed on them. Her voice was angelic, he already loved it. He found himself thinking that he would be content to listen to the sound for the rest of his life. "Thank you, beautiful." The Alpha responded quickly, motioning to one of his pack members to pick it up. "You have very good hearing." "Well, I guess it's compensation" She chuckled slightly, "I mean, these don't do me any good." She gestured towards her eyes, turning more towards where the sound of his voice had originated from. "I hadn't noticed that you were..." He trailed off. Though surprised, his desire and need for his mate never decreased. "Blind?" *** For Leora Kotas, life in Willsden Brooke was a continuous cycle.

Blind Instincts
*COMPLETED* My head bowed in a heavy mannor, not in respect, but in trepidation. I discern his unwavering gaze over my ill silhouette. "Look at me." I opened my eyes, though it made no difference. Black is still black, all I am left with are my four senses. He will kill me if I don't look. He will kill me if I do. He will look into my sightless eyes and see my futile existence isn't worth living. He will kill me, and he will be doing the pack a justice by it. He growls a low, throaty snarl to warn me about disobeying an alpha. There will be consequences, we both know that. His lingering growls let me know he is not going to allow me to contravene his word. I steadily inch my head upwards, visibly shaking everywhere else. Maybe he won't notice my depthless eyes from across the gazebo. My life depends on it. "You're blind." ~ Monet was born into a particularly prestigious area of her wolf pack, to parents of extremely high standards. Her legacy is to become the packs next healer, but when she was born completely devoid of melanin, all her mated parents saw was a disappointment. Being born an albino wolf pup meant a lot for Monet, but it mostly meant her condition had taken her eyesight along with it. What happens when Monet meets the Alpha of a neighboring pack? Will he accept her for what she is? ~CONTENT WARNING~ This book contains depictions of physical abuse, foul language, and upsetting scenary.
