The Werewolf Heirs by Bi_jou11

The royal line of werewolves was on the verge of extinction, their ancient bloodline weakening with each passing generation. For centuries, the werewolf gene had been the mark of their power and prestige, but now it was a fading ember. King Theron and Queen Elara, desperate to save their legacy, prayed for a miracle. Their people, once fierce and proud, were becoming little more than human-their legendary strength and healing now just myths whispered in the dark. The couple's hopes rested on an heir, a child who could restore their family's lost glory and prevent their legacy from being greedily seized by others. But what they did not know was that their lineage was more complex than any of them could have ever imagined, and the salvation of their kind would come at an unexpected price.

Shortlisted for the Wattys 2025! Living in a human town, Esmara has little knowledge of the seven kinds of shifters who rule the world outside of her safe walls. The horrific rumours and tales she hears from visiting travellers are enough to keep her satisfied with her simple and quiet life. But when her safe haven is suddenly disturbed by her own kind, she needs the help of those she is terrified of most. Amidst the chaos, Esmara is confronted with feelings she does not understand. Why is she so involved with the werewolves? Which side does she choose when the line between friend and foe begins to blur? And who is the dark-haired stranger she so desperately longs for? Esmara is determined to unravel the truth behind it all, even as the looming darkness seems to draw closer. ----- "Honestly, it's one of the best werewolf stories I've read: the plot, the writing, and the characters are all amazing. I can't wait to read the second book! And please don't stop writing, you truly have a great talent!" (Eastis) "I started when you only had a few chapters, and have been on the edge of my seat since."(Vettechk) "I can't explain how much I loved this book." (Abbeys3088) "This was one of the books that helped me get out of my reeding slump. When I started this book and realized how good it was i couldn't stop reading! And I still don't get how this book didn't make top 10 in the werewolf category yet, because it deserves it!" (Hannubear) "This book is one of the most well written here in Wattpad. I loved it sooo much. Your writing is so beautiful honestly!!" (Reliverelove)

The Curse Of The Raven's Rune: Shadow Of The Bloodline by officialskye

Beneath the bombs of the Blitz, a hidden war rages in the shadows. Elara Quinn, a spirited young witch with a bloodline cursed by ancient magic, never asked to be the key to a prophecy older than the city itself. Raised on the fringes of London's gritty East End, where her father's gangster dealings kept their family afloat, Elara hides her gifts-until visions of a rising darkness thrust her into a battle she can't escape. When a fateful encounter with Rael, a mysterious half-werewolf with a dangerous past, pulls her deeper into the supernatural underworld, Elara discovers a forgotten relic: the Raven's Rune. It holds the power to save the world-or destroy it. As the Patron, a shadowy entity from her family's cursed past, hunts her relentlessly, Elara must navigate a city crumbling under the Blitz, untangle the secrets of her bloodline, and confront her growing feelings for Rael. But the deeper she delves into the rune's power, the more she realizes that destiny is a blade that cuts both ways. In a world where trust is fleeting, love is perilous, and enemies lurk in every shadow, Elara must decide how far she's willing to go to protect the people she loves-and whether she can outrun the curse in her veins.

The Change by kynsiehall

BOOK ONE *Completed* Zoey Cooper's life changes dramatically when she learns that werewolves are real. Not only are they real... but her best friend, Derek, is one. The last thing she expected to find when she followed that creepy noise in the woods was Derek, changing into a werewolf.... She definitely wasn't expecting him to try to kill her... and he would have. If it hadn't of been for the mysterious black wolf that came to her rescue. Oh, and did I mention how messed up her love life was? She, of course, finds herself falling for Derek... but how could she fall in love with her best friend? There was another part of herself that she tried to fight and ignore... the part of her heart that ached for the one guy that scared the hell out of her... Zayn. She couldn't even explain the way she felt about him... Something about his blue eyes seemed to draw her to him. And no matter what she did... She couldn't fight it. Zayn lowered his mouth down to Zoey's ear, whispering so quietly that she could barley make out what he said, "Stay away from us, Princess... if you're smart, which I think you are. Stay. Away..."

Supernatural Hunters: The Hidden Bloodline by Rachy-Writes

🌙Book One of the Supernatural Hunters Trilogy For centuries, supernatural creatures lived in fragile harmony under a sacred treaty forged by a powerful witch. Vampires, werewolves, witches, hunters, and fairies each signed in blood - sealing a pact that outlawed war, murder, and turning humans without consent. Eighteen-year-old Elara Quinn was raised as a hunter, taught to trust no one outside her family. But when her parents vanish without a trace, Elara and her older brother return to the eerie town of Hellsville - a place her brother remembers... and she doesn't. Enrolled in a secret academy for the supernatural, Elara's carefully constructed world begins to crack. She meets Kael, the intense and loyal son of the werewolf alpha, and Lucien, a mysterious vampire with secrets as dark as his eyes. As she grows closer to both, Elara starts to question everything-especially when strange powers begin to stir inside her. What Elara doesn't know is that her past was hidden from her for a reason. She's not just a hunter. She's something far more dangerous. And someone wants her back. A forbidden realm is calling. A buried legacy is rising. And in the shadows, something ancient waits to break the treaty-and her heart.

Trinity (A Werewolf Novel) ✔ by CaitSarai

[Completed] Every Wolf Moon, humans are selected from each village to be sacrificed to the werewolves; creatures worshipped by humans as godlike figures. In a twist of fate, seventeen year old Mila Young is selected to be the annual sacrifice for the Trinity pack, the most powerful pack ruled by King Alpha Roman Stone. Alpha Roman and all werewolves under his rule are cursed. His hatred for the humans and his war on the deity Moon Goddesses has caused his kind to lose the favor of their blessings. However, when Mila reveals herself to have a connection to the werewolves unlike anything a human has ever had before, it becomes apparent that she may be the key to ending the suffering of Roman and his wolves... if only he can overcome the lifelong hatred that clouds his mind and darkens his heart. Excerpt: "You smell like wolf," The King Alpha declared, his voice low and angry. "I killed one," I both explained the smell and threatened at the same time. "And you think you can kill me? You think you can take my pack?" I glanced around at all the lycans still in their wolf forms, bowing obediently towards me. Could I take all of them on? I doubted it. I didn't even think I'd get this far. I didn't even know what was going on. When I turned back to the King Alpha, he was significantly closer. "Stay back!" I cried out in fear. The power flared within me once more, lifting whimpers from around me. The King Alpha hesitated again, his eyes skating over me with confusion. He took a deep breath, sniffing the air around me as he hadn't yet gotten any closer. "You smell like... my mate." {{Warning: Some scenes may be unsuitable for audiences below the age of 15 and offensive to those of all ages. Read at your own risk.}} Rankings: #1 in Lycans #1 in wolf

Ｃａｌｌ　ｏｆ　ｔｈｅ　Ａｌｐｈａ by RyanCage6767

In the frozen silence of a remote northern forest, Elara Frost has always felt the wild calling in her blood. But when savage attacks tear through her village, that call becomes something far more dangerous-a summons she can no longer ignore. Drawn to a world beyond the reach of men, Elara discovers the existence of ancient wolf-blooded clans bound by secrets, oaths, and power older than the snow itself. At their head stands Alpha Darian, a commanding leader whose protection feels as ominous as it is reassuring. Yet in the shadows of his rule prowls a rogue wolf-Rafe, fierce and untamed, a man who seems to know more about Elara's past than he should. As the blood moon rises and rival loyalties blur, Elara is forced to confront what sleeps within her veins. Torn between the order of the pack and the freedom of the wild, she must learn where her true instincts lie-and who she can trust when every howl in the dark hides a secret. In a world where love is a risk and power a curse, one choice will determine whether the wolves rise anew... or the forest drowns in its own blood.
