••••••••••

When Meghan Byer's daughter finds an injured fawn in the month of December, the weary mother of two doesn't think much about it. It isn't until more baby deer begin turning up at their doorstep that she realizes something is wrong. With help from her ex-husband, Meghan and their kids are on the run to try and escape what is happening to them. Threatening notes are being left for them to find, fawns are showing up with collars but no identifiable homes, and terrors are being inflicted by a stalker.

This is an abnormal Christmas, and one this family will not soon forget.

❖ Interstellar pilot and ex-adventurer Alex Gallegos must keep their team safe on an icy moon as sentient storms threaten to repeat the tragedy that ended their last career. ❖ Everyone in the United Inhabited Solar Systems (for some reason, UIS for short) knows to stay away from Mahaha. The icy moon is notorious for failed probe landings and research missions that end in tragedy: the only people to ever venture to its surface needed rescuing after just two weeks. When a prestigious research group decides they want a turn, they ask Alex Gallegos to lead the team. Perfectly qualified and haunted by their past, Alex accepts, hoping to make up for old mistakes and get just a little further from the earth they've left behind. Two months into the seven-month mission, the team is struggling with discontent, damaged equipment, and blizzards acting less and less like normal weather. As Mahaha moves out of range of help and the storms take on a more malicious character, Alex must face the one foe they could never have prepared for. Mahaha may or may not be alive. ❖❖❖ Complete.

His One Powerful Mate (Rewriting) by CLDorner
62 parts Complete Mature
Hi Readers, Before you read this book, I just wanted to say that I am currently in the process of rewriting this story. Changes, whether they are big or small will be applied and things will most likely be cut. I am looking towards making this story more consistent since its not evident in the first draft. I hope that you will continue to support this story nevertheless of the changes made. Kindest Regards, Christine *** Prologue "She's here! We've found her!" The girls parents came racing over to the river bank that separated the two werewolf packs. "She's not breathing! Why isn't she breathing?!" The man pushed the woman out of the way gently and leaned down to check the young girls breathing. He put one hand on the girl's chest and started compression. He checked the girl's breathing again and continued with compression. The girls started to cough up river water. The man pulled her swiftly to her side so that she could expel the rest of the water out through her mouth. "Oh, honey!" the woman gathered the girl up in her arms and squeezed. The girl looked around disorientated. There were strange men and men from her own pack standing around her. "What happened?" She murmured. The woman looked down at her daughter with tears flowing down her face. "You nearly died." *** *Check out the rest of the prologue for more* #1 HigherPower #1 EpicBattles 2# Flames 2# PackMates 36# Power Copyright © All Rights Reserved 2020 NeoNixButterfly21/Christine Copyright © All Rights Reserved 2021 NeoNixButterfly21/Christine Copyright © All Rights Reserved 2022 NeoNixButterfly21/Christine ~ All chapters hereafter are protected by copyright.

I SAW SANTA KILL SOMEONE by KassandraVivu
36 parts Complete Mature
Celeste Gray thought it would be nice to stay in a cabin in the woods. Being able to be alone, left with her thoughts, finding nature, and the nice cozy feeling of warmth were what she needed. Which led her to book/rent out a cabin for the whole month of December. Spending the holidays alone shouldn't be too bad. I mean, there's a reason she's alone in the first place; this is what she needed to move on with her life. So everything should be fine. Celeste was wrong about that because the moment she decided to take that trail in the woods, she knew she fucked up. Especially when she saw Santa Clause, not dropping off gifts, not with his reindeer or his sleigh, but standing over a dead body. She just saw Santa kill someone. Ji-Cheol Kim is not your average man, he does something for a living that is not for everyone, but someone has to do it, especially when it's getting justice in a way for people who deserve justice done that way. He was doing his job, which he is very good at when someone who wasn't supposed to be there ended up being there. Now his plans have changed, which led him to do something he doesn't mind doing, finally being able to spend the holidays with someone. Even if the person doesn't want that, she has no choice but to accept it. Neither of them was expecting this to happen. Two people from different worlds who ended up bumping into each other are now spending the holidays together. This was far from being a Christmas miracle.

The girl who would wear green by AmaliWest
20 parts Complete
Tuesday, 6 October 2015 For Amali, Christmas 2015 This story began in the September school holidays 2015, when Amali was staying with me and had trouble getting to sleep at night. After trying all of the old remedies I could think of, counting sheep, relaxation, deep breathing, I came up with an idea I thought may help her. I suggested that we both think of a story that night while we were trying to go to sleep. I sometimes have problems getting to sleep as well, and I've used this in one form or another at times with some success. So, when she asked me "what sort of story?" I searched around in my head for a story theme that would interest Amali. What I then came up with was "how about .....The girl who would... (thinking hard).....wear... (digging around in my head for a subject) and then the word "Green" came. We had our title. Next day, I asked Amali if this had worked, had she thought of a story. She said it had a bit, and she told me hers. Can you remember your story Amali? That night she wanted mine. Thinking this would be a one off, one night venture, I started with the very bare bones of the story that follows. Little did I realise at the time, that Amali would want another chapter every night! From then on, until she went home after the holidays, I struggled through telling the story, coming up with some events as I went, and giving myself a few sleepless nights trying to come up with something for the next night. The story was left, when Amali returned home and to school, somewhere near where Essie meets her grandmother. Amali has asked me a couple of times to continue, but at the time, I got stuck with where to go next. So here I the finished story hope you enjoy!

The Ghosts of Melbrew [1/12] by LillianRS
34 parts Complete
BOOK NUMBER 1 OF 12 IN THE MULTIMAGICAL SERIES BY LILLIAN R.S. ☆☆☆ Emeline Orman was sixteen when she and her parents moved across the country to the coastline of Washington state. A small town known as Melbrew sat comfortably in the middle of thick woods, so tiny and unknown that it doesn't show up on any maps, making it the perfect spot for malicious activity to go unnoticed. On her first day of school, she met some rather weird people, who all shared a strange similar interest. This little group had quite the reputation for their knowledge of the town's not-so-secret dark history... as well as all of the unusual things that have been reported to them. It all started with the rich Humphrey family tragedy back in the 1800s, where for years it has been speculated that the mother killed her husband and children. Being very eager to get to the bottom of all the town's mysteries, one thing leads to another as discovery after discovery begins to pile up, ranging from random holes in the ground, to suspicious buildings in the middle of the woods. Secret doors, tunnels, and books that talk about nonsense seem like they lead nowhere, with no connections! Though perhaps the most mysterious oddity of them all is the otherworldly gateway surrounded by old fences, tied back to the founding family. ☆☆☆ • CW: Strong language, murder, and gore • 34 Total Chapters! • Total Word Count: 142,450 • PLEASE NOTE: This book is part of a series! It is the first book of 12. • This book is not my final product! This is just my way of easily sharing it with family and friends! I plan to edit and get published someday. Feedback and thoughts are appreciated, positive or negative! I will go back and edit/change things. • For more information on the Multimagical Series, check my bio! ☆☆☆

A young fairy's desire to break free from the restraints tethering her to her world, pushes her into the arms of a charming, young wolf, whose world benefits from keeping her shackled. ***** Sixteen-year-old Ellette longs to know what the world is like outside of the Woodlands, home to all Fae. As the black sheep of her family, her curious and stubborn nature makes it difficult for her to adhere to the strict ways of her people. One night while running away, Ellette stumbles upon Michael, an injured werewolf. She makes the choice to save his life, and intends to send him on his way once he recovers. But the more Ellette gets to know the intriguing, young wolf, the more reluctant she is to let him go. And letting him go would certainly be in her best interest. Not only is Michael an intruder in the Woodlands, but the very creature all Fae have good reason to fear. As his forbidden presence threatens the safety of all Fae, Ellette finds herself torn between following her heart or doing right by her people.
