contemporary dark death drama fantasy love magic romance werewolf werewolves

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 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 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.

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.

I loved it sooo much. Your writing is so beautiful honestly!!" (Reliverelove)
