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.

The Wolf That Remembers by bmkfaithful

Book 1: Lysander Hale is a werewolf cursed with a rare and brutal gift-he remembers everything he does in wolf form. Every kill. Every scream. Every last memory of the lives he takes. Now, someone is murdering young women and imprinting their final memories inside his mind. The city fears a monster. And the evidence points directly at him. Trying to outrun the voices of the dead, Lysander isolates himself behind cold walls and colder eyes... until Elara Quinn moves into the apartment below him. She shouldn't affect him. But her presence quiets the memories. Her voice calms the wolf. Her gentle fire steadies the storm inside him. And most dangerous of all-his wolf recognizes her as his mate. Elara is kind, calm, and warm... but she is not what she seems. She carries scars she never speaks of. She looks at shadows like she knows them. And she flinches whenever a silver ring glints in the dark. Because Elara isn't just a girl with a soft smile. She's running-from Lysander's rival. From the real killer. From a werewolf who once claimed her as prey... and now wants her back. As more bodies fall and memories pile up, Lysander is forced into a race against time to clear his name and protect the only light in his darkness. But Riven, the wolf who haunts Elara's past, is drawing closer-with every moonrise, with every breath she takes. And the truth is far more twisted than either of them realize. Love will save them. Pain will bind them. Memory will damn them. And the moon will decide who survives.

Primal by MaybeManhattan

The True Luna : Reborn by Raven-l

---- 🐺 The True Luna: Reborn > I was born under a blood moon, into a name that carried weight - whispered through generations like prophecy. Moon. Sacred. Feared. Expected to rise. But the wolf inside me never woke. No shift. No howl. Just silence... and shame. When the mate bond snapped into place, I felt hope bloom - sharp, trembling, dangerous. Then he looked at me. And chose someone else. Not because I was unworthy... But because I terrified him. I left it all behind. The pack. The promise. The broken destiny. I buried the girl they wanted and became something else. A shadow in the human world. A woman with ink-stained fingers and secrets in her eyes. I don't need a mate. I don't crave power. But darkness... darkness has always known my name. Then he appeared. Prince Damien Knight Walker. Lycan royalty. A predator cloaked in silk and war. He touched me with his eyes first - like he was peeling back my skin. He says I belong to him. But I am not his to tame. There's something dangerous inside me now. Something ancient. Hungry. Awake. Let the kingdoms tremble. I'm Arielle Moon. And I wasn't reborn to be someone's Luna. I was reborn to burn thrones. ---

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..."
