When Phoebe is woken up by James, the boy she's been crushing on since she can remember, she's surprised to find him in a panic. His sister Kara is missing and he needs Phoebe's help to find her. Following hunches and the wordy clues of an annoying preteen, Phoebe and James discover that Kara has been taken, but she left a message for her brother: Tell Phoebe the truth. 

James begrudgingly unveils the family secret he's been keeping all his life: he and Kara can "shift" into dragons. Real, winged, magical beasts that have been hunted for hundreds of years! No longer safe, James has no choice but to flee the hunters that took his sister, and Phoebe demands to be brought along. Her gut instinct, which has always been supernaturally accurate, begs her to go, putting her on the path of a wild adventure.

Enduring battles, near-death experiences, and their growing attraction for each other, they struggle to survive and stay one step ahead of those that seek to destroy James and all his kind.

But after trying to attend high school like any normal sixteen-year-old, things quickly spiral south when her Stalker uncle finds out about her and catapults her out of anonymity and into the awareness--or possibly the crosshairs--of The Order of the Wolfstalker.

The Forbidden Chase by RKNAGI98
110 parts Complete Mature
She's caught between two beasts. And neither plans to let her go. In Camlocks - a town haunted by bloodshed and hunted by cursed shapeshifters called Bloodthropes - love isn't salvation. It's the deadliest game of all. Rachel Morris never asked to be chosen. But Bloodthropes have rules, and every rule ends in blood. Fate marks her for sacrifice, trapping her between two dangerously beautiful boys who aren't boys at all. Daniel is rage wrapped in silk. Trevor is secrets with a smile. Both are bound to an ancient ritual that demands her life. They were made to ruin her, not love her. But monsters don't follow rules. And when they fall, they fall hard. Now Rachel's heart is a battlefield. Desire is a weapon. And love? Love is the curse that could destroy them all. Because when beasts fall in love, they don't protect you - they claim you. ❖ ❖ ❖ Trevor stepped closer, his breath mingling with hers. "I'm scared of falling in love," he said quietly. "Scared it'll heal wounds I've learned to live with. Scared it'll become my weakness... and steal my soul." ❖ ❖ ❖ "I know I don't own your heart," Daniel said, voice low and burning. "But if you let me in, I'll love you harder than he ever could. I'll erase every scar he left-until there's nothing of him left in you." ✦ ✦ ✦ If you crave forbidden romance wrapped in shadows, secrets, and blood‑soaked legends, this dark YA gothic fantasy is your next obsession.

Kyra Atcuian hides a secret from the world around her. Kyra has the ability to shift, and the form that she takes is that of a cheetah. Shifters as a whole are a dying species thanks to hunters.

With hunters weeding them out, shifters seem to be becoming more animal than rational. So when her heat cycle hits not having a male around of her breed is fine by her. That way she won't end up mated to a complete asshole. Who would leave her pregnant and not help raise a child that would need to be hidden from the world. She hasn't seen another shifter in years, and it's safer to just fade away into the world of humans. However fate has a different plan for Kyra when she meets twin brothers Adrian and Andre. They are cheetah shifters as well, and a female in heat is impossible to ignore. Kyra knows the danger of the shifter world, and never wanted to mate. Sometimes fate has other plans.

Maddie Thompson's life just fell down a rabbit hole. Finding out she's a dragon shifter was one thing-she never quite fit into the human world, and this new reality feels...strangely right. However, discovering the next step is to choose a mate, and if she chooses wrong she'll die, is the other side of crazy. Especially when she already left a piece of her heart with someone who didn't want it. To say dragon enforcer Fallon Conleth was shocked when the Mating Council summoned him as a potential mate for a newly found dragon doesn't quite cover it. A mate is rare and precious and many dragons never find theirs. Fallon isn't sure he's worthy of the honor, not when so many deserve it more. He'll just go through the motions and return home alone...until he sees Maddie. The human woman he reluctantly let walk away. Fallon already broke Maddie's heart once, but if he can't convince her that they're meant to be, she'll die... and he won't be far behind.
