Trust doesn't exist in the new world. When your neighbor could be a bloodthirsty killer, trust is the last thing you give out for free.
In the years that follow Dr. Ikor Cisek and Dr. Haydn Hale's gene replacement experiments, humans are no longer the species on top of the food chain. Werewolves stalk the streets at night and walk among humans during the day. After decades of being hunted, they've learned to blend in.
But neither the doctors nor the werewolves accounted for Elara Cannon: a girl born with healing powers that baffle even the ones that created her. 
When you've bred a monster in a world fueled by fear, how do you teach it to save you?All Rights Reserved

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

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.

Whispers From The Other Side by stasia_smile

Some doors should never be opened. Some voices should never be heard. Elara Rook has always been haunted-by whispers in the dark, by fleeting shadows, by the unsettling feeling that she doesn't belong to just one world. But when she returns to the abandoned Rook estate, the voices become more than just eerie murmurs. They become memories. Vivid. Terrifying. Real. One touch, one vision, and she is thrust into the past-reliving the pain, the terror, and the secrets of spirits who refuse to be forgotten. A girl trapped in a room that no longer exists. A scream that echoes through time. A warning buried beneath the house's rotting bones. As Elara digs deeper, she realizes she's not just an observer-she's a key. And something, or someone, is waiting for her to open the final door. Somewhere beyond the veil, the dead are watching. And they are whispering her name.

The Kings Moon Witch by MersadieHardesty

Elara Devonshire had always known she was different. Born a rare hybrid, the daughter of a powerful witch and a fierce werewolf, her life had been a unique tapestry woven with magic and instinct. Growing up, the trials she faced were mostly academic - mastering arcane spells while simultaneously learning to control her shifting form. Training sessions were rigorous, pushing her physical and magical limits, but they were challenges she faced head-on, with a bright spirit and an unwavering determination. What Elara hadn't realized was that a significant portion of her relatively smooth path was paved with the silent sacrifice of another. Unbeknownst to her, a watchful presence had been her unseen guardian, ensuring her safety and well-being from the shadows. This protector was Kaelen Blade, her destined mate, who had forsaken his duties as a leader to wait for her, his queen. Instead of sitting on his own thrown, he dedicated his time to her, his existence an echo in the periphery of her life. Patient and vigilant, he waited for the day she would turn eighteen, when he could finally step forward and claim the woman he knew was meant to rule by his side. He watched her learn and grow, his heart growing warmer with every passing year, counting the days until he could bring his queen home.

****COMPLETED**** "You're driving me crazy," I growled, dropping my hand down to her waist then around to her lower back, sucking her earlobe into my mouth and dragging my teeth along it.
