Lost and a little broken Arabella runs from her fate unable to face the person that she's become.  All she wants is some one to talk to, someone to listen even if only as a friend.  After taking a shortcut through the darkening woods a storm hits and Arabella gets lost.  Soon after the storm begins a man finds her.  Duncan is dark and dangerous much like the past that Arabella longs to escape but is Duncan any thing like the man from Arabella's past?  Can Arabella truly trust Duncan?  But it doesn't really matter does it because Arabella knows she doesn't have that much time left before her life is forfeit.  Maybe the real question should be:  Will Duncan be willing to let her go?  And who is the man hidden in the passageways of the castle?  What is the mystery man to her?  Menage:  MMF

Rell and The Rose by hjnelson
60 parts Complete
A Beast stalks the night... but Beauty hunts him. A reimagining of the story you thought you knew. Rell grew up hearing stories of the Human Realm, a fantastic world with light at the flick of a finger, metal boxes that fly through the sky; a fantastic, faraway fairytale that she knows is too good to be true. Because Rell lives in the Dark Realm: a world full of magical creatures and a low-hanging sky, all protected by The Blood Rose. Until the day the Blood Rose is stolen away and taken to the Human Realm. Without it, the two realms will meet with disastrous consequences, the human sun bleaching all the magic from the Dark Realm. And so Rell leaves everything she knows to bring it back. There's only one problem: the Human Realm- especially high school- is nothing like the stories. There's some sort of code with words like "twerking" and "Instagram" she can't understand, and then there's Bastien, the boy who hates Rell for reasons she can't explain. But when Rell realizes Bastien is keeping just as many secrets as she is, the two become an unlikely team in the search for the Blood Rose. Time is ticking, and more than just The Dark Realm is at stake. Whoever stole the rose is now cursed to turn into a Beast every full moon, and is hidden among them. Students are going missing, and dark creatures are slipping into the Human Realm. Rell needs to find the Blood Rose, slay the Beast, survive high school, and sort out these new, confusing feelings for Bastien--all before the night of the full moon. To fail could mean the end of The Dark Realm and every magical creature within, but to succeed means she'll lose the boy she's falling for, and a Realm more beautiful than she ever imagined. A modern-day reimaging of Beauty and the Beast.

23 parts Complete Mature
Arabella Rose, 22, is a rogue panther shifter, the last of her kind. Hunters have killed off her family (that she knows of) leaving her to be a rogue. Having to run and hide from werewolves her whole live what will happen when she can't run anymore? Her whole life she has wanted nothing more than to find her mate, to feel loved, cherished and cared for. After so many years she still wants it but she doesn't believe she has a mate and is starting to believe she is forever alone. Until one night she is captured by the warriors of the Blue Moon Pack, she was thrown into the dungeon until the next morning when the pack Alpha would chose her destiny. Alpha Blake Andrews, 25. Blake is known to be cruel, merciless, and kill any rogue found on his territory but what will happen when he sees Arabella in the cage and the one word they both heard was "Mate." How will Arabella feel knowing she is mates to a werewolf, none other than the Alpha? What will happen when she is able to meet Blake's men and one is all to familiar her and secrets start to unfold and she can't hide anymore? If you would like the honest truth, before I was not able to drink, Blue Moon is actually my favorite beer... that's where the pack name came from. As I started writing this book and got 20 chapters in I've found many stories and such with the same pack name. So I apologize for that, I didn't mean to "copy" or "steal" the name... I was actually wearing a blue moon (beer) shirt and went with it.

To get through a heartache after the sudden breakup, Arabella moves to New York City to start another chapter of her life. Driven by the hope to make Adrian Castle, the man who left her broken to pieces with an excuse of protecting her against his world, Arabella suffers a mess and as retribution for her pain, she embarks on a journey of self-destruction by embracing the real her no one knows and accepts the challenge of living in the same world Adrian tried to protect her against. But hating Adrian is more difficult than loving him, little did Arabella know until she's once again trapped in that dark and intense love, unable to escape its never-ending, vicious cycle. She falls victim to her own desire while drowning deeply in Adrian's dangerous world of killing or getting killed--the world full of lies, secrets, and so much deception that she learns along the way. In the end, everyone has a secret, and so does Adrian Castle who learns the real meaning of pain when it's time to face the wrath of his past. Some of the lives he took, the hearts he broke, and the families he destroyed--whether willingly or not--come back to haunt him, and eventually demand the one thing he cherishes the most. The love that feared no danger, the one that overcame excruciating pain will once again be tested by the ugly truth Arabella uncovers about Adrian Castle. Perhaps he's not the man she thought he was, and maybe he's indeed nothing but a cruel, emotionless monster who destroys everything he touches.
