When he hung up his combat boots for the last time, Eric planned to enjoy a taste of the quiet life. Destiny had other ideas.

After being called out to help an old friend with a mysterious disturbance, Eric finds himself at the front line of a very different kind of battlefield; one where the weapons are unearthly, the stakes are high, and the enemies aren't human.

Alongside Cassie, his friend, fellow monster hunter, and begrudging surrogate sister, Eric makes it his mission to rid Missouri County of its supernatural scourge, but what started off as a simple job ends up costing Eric more than he knew he had to lose.

Now with soundtrack!

Neon Wolf by BradWolfe50
64 parts Ongoing
In a city of neon lights and corporate shadows, one girl's secret could make her the hunter-or the hunted. Chicago never sleeps. Beneath the glittering neon towers and high school dramas, something dangerous stirs in the shadows. Nikki Nova should have it all-cheer captain, friends who've got her back, and a city full of possibilities. But after one terrifying night in the wrong alley, her perfect life fractures. Strange changes ripple through her body, her senses sharpen to frightening levels, and haunting dreams drag her deeper into a world she doesn't understand. Caught between two lives: the girl everyone thinks she is, and the stranger she's becoming. To protect her friends, she disappears into the city's underbelly, where secrets lurk in every corner and powerful forces have noticed her. With the help of an unlikely ally, Nikki must uncover the truth behind her transformation-before it consumes her. But in a city run by ruthless corporations and haunted by things best left unseen, survival won't be easy. How long can Nikki keep her secret before the hunters find her? A Werewolf Cheerleader spin-off series. There might be some grammar errors because the chapters are first drafts. But I did edited them the best I can. Please notify me if you find any errors that I missed. Each chapter will be posted each except on the weekends. If I miss a day, I will post it the next day. There are violence, profanity, and some senstive content, but none of them are high. If I add some romance, they will be mild.

Lincoln City: Season 4 by 365Shane
8 parts Ongoing Mature
He died. He came back. But some debts can't be paid in the grave. Shane is back in Lincoln, trying to piece together a normal life after surviving a war with angels. But his resurrection didn't just mend his wounds-it tore a hole in the veil. Now, his very presence is a beacon for things that lurk in the shadows, and his quiet city is on the brink of a new, terrifying era. A new demonic force, more intelligent and personal than any he's faced, begins to dismantle his life from the inside out. An ancient, forgotten god awakens with a claim on the city's Roman stones. A vengeful vampire, a ghost of a past hunt, begins to rally forces across the ocean, her sights set firmly on Lincoln. And through it all, the cryptic Trickster continues to pull the strings, teaching lessons written in blood. With his closest ally, Fiona, facing a crisis of her own, and new, powerful beings emerging from the city's long-buried history, Shane must confront a horrifying truth: to protect the people he loves, he may have to pay a price far greater than his own life.

A rogue and a runt. A born and raised alpha. A boy with a secret. And a man bent on changing fate, no matter who gets harmed. ~ "Have you contacted the council about the rogues?" "Yes and they say that rogues don't band together in mass amounts." "Did you tell them about the lack of scents?" I roll my eyes at his question. "Of course I did." "And?" "And they think there's a witch out there causing havoc for the rogues," I scoff. "They said that only a witch could hide a wolf's scent but I can't seem to think of what witch would be out there doing silly experiments that won't benefit them. They'd be better off working with a pack if they had any interest there at all." "I get where they're coming from but this is mass reports across the country," he says pointing to the map. "I've been on the phone with packs all over the country having the same issues. We seem to have a higher concentration as of late," he furrows his brows. "Other packs have been having decreases of these rogues?" He nods. "This past week alone we've had six sightings and it's only Thursday." I feel tension rise behind my eyes as the realization hit me.

The Weaver's Source by Tophat
111 parts Complete Mature
Lyra has been waiting for her Weaver to find her for years, unable to leave the safety of her home and only connected to him through passionate dreams - remembering nothing about him apart from his wild, sensual song. When the lone Weaver Grigore finally sweeps into her life, she finds herself instantly drawn to him, instantly recognising him as the man she had dreamt of for years. However, Lyra quickly runs into problems. Not only does he fail to recognise her but he's nothing like she imagined; cold, stubborn and determined to keep himself away from her. Rejected but determined to keep him safe as her magic whispers of his death, she follows him through danger and blood as he stalks his own hunt, desperate to shake the hooks that keeps pulling him back to her. First Volume of the Dark Folktales. This is a horror, erotic romance, with monster-of-the-week vibes, such as Buffy, Supernatural, Witcher, Claymore, and Van Helsing. (I'm a massive fan of the monster hunting genre.) Written from Sep 2011 until April 2014. This was the very first adult romance I'd written and has a plethora of problems. Despite this, I won't do further editing as I'm putting my efforts into a full re-write. Author's note - Please be mindful of what you're saying when commenting. I'm happy with helpful criticism, spelling/grammar pointers, questions or simple chatter. However, a tirade of needless, unhelpful complaints and just outright rude commentary is not welcome. My stories are terrible first drafts, they're going to be riddled with issues, so just politely highlight if you feel there's a problem. I'll listen and likely take on board the criticism. And if you're not enjoying it, that's fine, just move on and thank you for giving it a shot. The cover is my own art; sketched 2017.

The Coven's Source by Tophat
70 parts Complete Mature
It has been nine years since Lyra discovered Grigore; her Weaver and guardian of the living magic nestled in her body. Nine years since she doggedly followed him through hell and death, determined to not let him slip out of her grasp and shake free his denial. Nine years since he accepted her. Rumours are spreading that a Lord is hunting Sources; his lands plagued by famine and madness. As Lyra dreams of two women begging her to save them, she finds herself inexplicably pulled to the cursed lord and his haunted lands. Despite the dangers, Lyra and Grigore dive into the chaos, unaware that their abilities as a hunting pair and as lovers was going to be put to the test. Volume Two of the Dark Folktales. This is a horror, erotic romance, with monster-of-the-week vibes, such as Buffy, Supernatural, Witcher, Claymore, and Van Helsing. (I'm a massive fan of the monster hunting genre.) Back in 2014 I finished writing the original story, The Weaver's Source, and I am re-opening the world again as I feel I have a story worth telling. The Coven's Source is set nine years after the original ends, is a single story arc rather than many small ones. This will show the hunter I always envisioned Lyra to be but didn't have the opportunity to show. Author's note - Please be mindful of what you're saying when commenting. I'm happy with helpful criticism, spelling/grammar pointers, questions or simple chatter. However, a tirade of needless, unhelpful complaints and just outright rude commentary is not welcome. My stories are terrible first drafts, they're going to be riddled with issues, so just politely highlight if you feel there's a problem. I'll listen and likely take on board the criticism. And if you're not enjoying it, that's fine, just move on and thank you for giving it a shot.
