I turn in fear as I become fully aware that I am on the ground allowing, whatever 'it' was that was chasing me, to attack. I wince in pain as I sit myself up and look around for the nearest place of shelter. I look right to left, as I do the blood is drained from my face and my mouth turns to cotton as I see what is face to face with me... 'it' is here.

Nevan Wilson, seventeen, has lived in Arcanus Wood for yes you guessed it seventeen years. Her ancestors and bloodline are quite the jumbled mess causing her parents to keep secrets from her and her brother. Like her parents, Arcanus means "secret" in Latin. Her parents think it is best for them to live with out all the nonsense as odds are they will not be affect by it. But they think wrong because secrets will be revealed, lies will become uncovered, and all that will be left is the truth. Let's just hope that everyone can handle the truth because if not, everyone's way of life in this old town will be turned upside down.

A COURT OF SHIFTERS AND SECRETS by Mk1120
57 parts Complete
Finding out that your parents, the people that raised you your whole life, weren't your actual parents was hard. Being told at the ripe ol' age of eighteen that you're the last living member from an Ancient Shifter line, the one responsible for creating the First Shifters, was inconceivable. Especially when a group of assassins were on their way to exterminate me simply for just existing. Kidnapped from my bed by three extremely stunning and grumpy Alphas, and forced to attend a special Shifter University located in the middle of nowhere, I have to navigate an unfamiliar and unknown secreted world while simultaneously trying avoiding those who want to use my lineage to enact an age-old curse. Join Nova Nyx as she's dragged into a world full of Shifters, Secrets, and Startling Surprises. ~~~ "Mates?" I repeated owlishly, blinking rapidly at the one worded bomb they just dropped on me "What are Mates?" Instead of answering my question, they just stared back at me in silence, arms crossed over their broad chests. I ignored their silence, choosing to focus on second part of their sentence. "And you're telling me I have three of them?" I gawked "How many are you supposed to get? I can barely handle myself and my life at this point and you want me to worry about three other people?" Of course the most annoying man I've ever met smirked at my bafflement. "I don't think it'll be such a hardship for you" he said, arrogance lacing his tone "After all, I hear these three Mates of yours are very self-sufficient." "Don't forget extremely gorgeous" his Buffon of a friend chimed in, winking at me "That's a plus for you Princess." "One," the third one growled out at me, finally speaking up and adding subsistence to the conversation, startling the banter from the other two "You're only supposed to be blessed with one Mate in your entire lifetime."

"The fuck you are leaving me." He snapped and growled at his mate. She was calm as she was ever be regardless of his snapping. She sighed and turned around to leave without saying something to him because it was worthless. There was no point in talking and especially to him. He grabbed her arm before she put one step. "Where do you think you are going Ara?" He growled so loudly as everyone shuddered watching their interaction. She quickly remove his hand as anger rolling off of her in waves. "Don't. Touch. Me. So you think I will live here and watch you mate and breed that female." She snapped at him. "She meant nothing Ara." He said after a minute. She laughed, literally laughed but without any humor. "That's why you were fucking her in your office just a minutes before, don't you?" "It was a mistake." He tried to reason with her. "But in your case mistakes happened in more than one time. And they said mistakes happened only one time." She said sarcastically. "I don't need her. I need you." He said again desperately. "Lies. All lies coming from your mouth. I feel disgusted just by looking at you, let alone talking to you. And you said you need me? Ha. Very funny. You don't need me and I sure as hell don't need you. This female behind your back is more enough than me. Breed her, mark her or fuck her. I DON'T FUCKING CARE." "I am sorry. I am really fucking sorry." He said brokenly as kneeling on the ground. A small laugh escaped from her lips. "Isn't it too late for that mate?" And she left just like that while single tear rolled down her cheeks. He had made mistakes. Mistakes that will cost him everything. He knew he had lost her and this time completely. She was broken. Again. He did break her, repair her just to break her again leaving a broken shattered woman but strong willed. ---------------------------------------------------- The cruel, sadistic Rogue Alpha and his caring, lovable Witch mate. Will it be too late for him to say sorry?

[18+ You've been warned.] "So that's it? You're just going to walk away from this? From us?" His laugh is bitter, a far cry from the usual genuine sound I've grown used to. I take a step back, not liking how close he's gotten, and run a hand through my already messy hair. "What did you expect? That we could somehow make this work?" I desperately wanted that to be true, but everything was so damn confusing right now. I didn't know what the right thing was. What would my parents have done in this situation? "Whatever this is?" Mason steps forward, forcing me to take another step back until I hit the wall. He's too close-way too close. He leans in, his minty breath mixed with cologne brushing against my face. "This-whatever's between us-is just as real as everything else, whether you want to believe it or not." ___________________ Eighteen-year-old River Banks has survived the streets of Chicago by learning one hard truth: the only person she can count on is herself.

Mason is ready to take Jonathan out, but when River gets caught in the middle, his plans take a turn. As danger closes in, an unexpected connection sparks between Mason and River-one that may change both their fates.
