Wake Up, Witch by greenwriter

When a malevolent witch wakes up two-hundred years later in a completely different England, she has to solve the mysteries of her past with the help of an old immortal nemesis before her true enemies get to her. *** In 1822, Lady Aster Byrne is considered the most powerful witch in all of England for her ability to step into dreams and manipulate dreamers. But the night of the massacre changes it all. She thought she died, but she didn't. She just slept for two centuries. Two-hundred years later, she wakes up in Genesis City, one of dozens under the Saint Society. She's told that while she slept, witches had survived the huntings and won the war against the vampires. Ever since, the society had thrived, creating borders to keep them safe from the ferals who survived the war. Now that she's awake, she's no longer just the powerful witch who can navigate dreams and nightmares. She's now the possible answer to immortality. And from the moment she wakes up, Aster gets the royal treatment only given to Astrals. That is until she discovers something that will turn her from worshiped to hunted. Something is wrong with her. And something is definitely awry in this new world. As Aster tries to figure out what really happened to her two-hundred years ago, she comes face to face with Harald Evensen, a cold, immortal piece of vampire she hated then and forever. He betrayed his coven to be part of the Saint Society for a very good reason. And part of that reason is her. As much as she wants to have nothing to do with him, she needs him. Being the only one who had lived for the two centuries she was asleep, he has answers to her past. And he has blood to offer. Whether Aster likes it or not, her life depends on both.

How I Fell In Love With A Werewolf : A Werewolf Novel by _xItsSarahx_

Her name is Elizabeth Taylor and this is the story of how she fell in love with a werewolf. "Shift back!" I squealed. "Okay, but when I do. Climb up onto him. We need to get you somewhere safe." His voice was deep and rich, like something out of a book. "Okay." I responded back. I uncovered my eyes once I felt a wet nose hit my leg. I climbed onto the wolf, his fur was so soft I just wanted to bury myself in it. I could definitely use him as a pillow one day. Will I even see him again after this? I frowned at the thought. He stopped and I assumed that it was safe for me to get off of him but when I went to do so he growled. So I just stayed put. He walked a little farther before letting me off. The wolf went behind a tree. "Hello?" I said quietly. "Give me a minute." He said. His voice makes my knees weak. "Okay." I answered back. • Book 1 to My Knight and Shining Werewolf

Sometimes fate brings you exactly what you need before you even realize it. *** Brigid Kelly has lost everything and no amount of spells or wishes stopped it.

With everything crashing down around her, Brigid buys a one-way ticket to the land of her ancestors, hoping to find solace in the old cabin where her Gran grew up. Ireland is everything she was always told it was and then some. As she sorts out the slowly declining house in the woods, she's thrust into the path of handsome Torin Boyle by circumstance.

He never expected to feel pulled into her orbit so completely. Brigid's idyllic life comes to a halt when Torin's father falls ill, closely followed by other members of the Shifter's family.

If Brigid and Torin can't figure out how to fix it, she might not be the only one losing those she loves. **Trigger Warnings - mentions of hospitals and death/cancer; loosing loved ones**

Or will pride and tempers ruin their last chance at happiness? The Moon Goddess has a plan that neither understands. BOOK 1 OF THE FORGOTTEN WOLF SERIES
