For the first decade of her life, Aria was like any other child: carefree, happy...innocent. She had her two brothers to keep her company, a best friend who could count as another sibling and her loving parents who doted on the four of them equally. To this child, there was nothing that could harm her reality but like all good things, something did. Her parents murdered, her eldest brother and her best friend blame her and her twin tries with all his might to protect her but under the threat of abuse himself, he could only do so much. 
           Over seven years later, Aria is ready to find her soulmate - her last hope to freedom but her luck hasn't changed. Rejected and scorned, Aria and her twin pack whatever they can carry and escape their fate. From there, they'll follow an ancient calling, becoming stronger and fiercer as they go. Through this calling, they'll discover old wars coming back to the light, uncover mysteries and secrets that have been lost to the ravenous of time and through this journey, their destinies.
           Can Aria rise to fulfil the unimaginable or will she fall under the pressure of it all? The fate of Earth may rest in her hands.

Shattered Pieces (Wattys 2024) by Penny987
46 parts Ongoing Mature
Sapphire always felt like she was missing a big part of her life not knowing anything about her birth father. Tragedy strikes and her whole world comes crashing down around her. What she thought she knew is turned upside down, shattering her into a million pieces. Can she rebuild her life now that the truth has been revealed? Sapphire's 18th birthday is approaching fast, and she can't wait to meet her wolf for the first time and hopefully meet her mate. But nobody could foresee the events that transpire when she finally does. I have put trigger warnings at the beginning of the chapter, that have violence and smut. You can skip those chapters and carry on to the next one. Shattered Pieces will be updated once a week. This story is nearly complete on my computer. ############################################################################### This is the first story that I have ever written. I look forward to your comments, but please be kind. It is not perfect. All negative comments will be deleted. The idea of this story came to me when New Zealand went into Lockdown due to Cover 19. While the rest of the country had to stay at home, the few of us who were classified as essential workers kept the country running. This story helped me cope with the added stress of all the restrictions in place. Enjoy, and please don't forget to vote and leave comments. This story is completely my idea, so NO copying it onto any other platform. A big shout out to my friend, who has been with me the whole way and has encouraged me to carry on with the story when I nearly gave up on it. @DrWhoEmily No 1 # Worrior

"You're in my territory now, princess, and you'll abide by my rules. Is that clear?" he whispered in my ear as he backed me against the wall, his hand slithering around my waist and pulling me closer to him. __________ Leading the largest, most feared werewolf pack in America wasn't easy. As the Alpha, Haden Pierce carried the strength of his pack on his shoulders since his father was attacked by rogues. At the age of 17, he was forced to build bonds, strengthen relationships, and create a pack aura that no one would dare challenge. He led by fear, but he also led by loyalty and a determination to protect his family at all costs. After the years passed, he had given up on finding his mate and planned out his future so his pack would remain strong from the rogues that threatened to bring them down. His hatred of rogues and what they stood for ran deep. That was until Zara Ferrari, his mate, crossed his lands. The very thing he despised - a rogue - was now his mate. And as much as he tried to fight, as much as he tried to resist, the fire between them was undeniable. Would he give in or will they both get burned? __________ IGNITE is a slow-burn but you'll enjoy passionate mates, possessive exes, reunited families, unexpected betrayals and so much more!

JAREK She's an abomination-a constant thorn in my side. She has no right to be sheltered so closely by my mother and father, the alpha and luna of the Blood Moon Howler Pack. She is not of Alpha blood. Therefore she doesn't belong in this family or our pack. When I become alpha, I will toss her out with the trash. Silver will regret the day my mother found her; I'll ensure that. SILVER I was born partially shifted with my wolf ears and eyes that shift from blue to gold, then silver. My parents rejected me and left me to die at the border of The Blood Moon Howler Pack. Luna Celestia stumbled upon me and pitied the day-old baby who couldn't fend for herself. Jarek has made it his life mission to bully me any chance he gets. Lucky for me, our father, Alpha Maximilian, took me under his wing and taught me how to fight. I have become the fiercest warrior of the pack at only sixteen years old. Sadly due to Jarek and his minions Xillon and Zane, the future Beta and Gamma of the pack, I have been shunned by all of my peers. Will I ever be accepted by anyone in my life? Or will I constantly be rejected? One thing is for sure; once I turn eighteen, I'm leaving. I will make my way in life, even if it means being on my own for eternity. Writer's Note: Hybrid's Fury Unleashed has depictions of verbal bullying abuse. There are mature intimate scenes as well as mature language that are not suitable for readers under the age of 18. Mild gore and assault are also a factor as you get further into the book. With all of this being said; read at your own risk. I'll post trigger warnings as needed. Enjoy your reading and have a fantastic day. Also, please be a dear and don't plagiarize my work. Hybrid's Fury Unleashed is my first attempt at writing a paranormal shifter novel. Please be mindful of this as you proceed. If you notice areas where I can improve my style of writing in this genre please be kind in lending constructive criticism in a kind manner.
