A short story written for the Red Feather Award Summer 2019 Writing Contest. @RedFeatherAward
Also a first draft-



The gates between the world has been opened.
 Creatures long forgotten have been released.
 Creatures good... and evil.
 Creatures seeking revenge.

 Grizela West (Griz) is definitely not normal. She doesn't even look human, which led to her being thrown out of home at an early age.
 After accidently killing a person (she closed a lid on a bin that was later emptied with a man inside), she is on the run from everything she has known for most of her life. The people who she has grown up with, who has helped her, are hunting her. 
 They aren't the only ones.
A being, one of those who has been imprisoned until being released, wants revenge. It won't stop until it dies, or until those who it hunts is dead. After finding a scent that is different but similar to its own, and to those it hunts, it will search far and near for the owner.All Rights Reserved

He'd lived in the wild, killed countless people, and managed to start up a business strictly for shape-shifters that went against everything that was seemingly right in the world. His only problem now that things were finally going his way besides the annoying return of a father he never knew and his frustrating feline mate? A human, of course.

The Phoenix Shift by KaylaHill5445

Waking up in the middle of night to a thump... classic. Kayla panicked for a second, then calmed down and decided it was nothing, then began to drift back to sleep. Then someone crashed through her window and all her fears came back. In one fell swoop, Kayla was thrown out the fourth floor window - and survived without an injury... other than everything she thought she knew shattering around her. During what seems the average residential robbery, Kayla Hill discovers a whole new world thriving below the surface in her hometown of Alvard. Some people, including her, were born with the ability to shapeshift. She learns through the help of a few new friends, who are shifters like herself, just how much her world has changed. Kayla also faces a new threat: the Raiders, a covert group set upon bringing down the shifters and stealing their powers. After fleeing from her home to avoid them, she wonders how she and the other shifters could ever defeat the omnipresent Raiders... assuming she survives them.

This was too much, way too much. In half a day, my life had been turned upside down. Just as I was about to fall, the raven transformed into a boy and caught me. The bird had just turned into a boy. What the heck? What was an Avian doing on Lupine territory? * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * After much debate, I decided to discontinue this second book and series. I love the world and I built and the characters with all my heart but the writing is incredibly outdated and the plot progression is all over the place. I may reuse these characters in the future, but this series has come to an end. I'm sorry to the people who wished to see the story continue, but I hope you'll be able to join me on future fantastical journies once I have time to write more! * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * First Published: Dec. 20, 2018 Finished: Mar. 31, 2020 Finished Publishing: 5-23-2020

The Reluctant Cougar (Rise of the Alpha King's Heir) by AmouraLucinda

*Complete but still subject to edits* Ben Cougar and Eileen Grau have been best friends since they were kids. For the young cougar-shifter, it was love at first sight. For the ostracized Vampire girl, it was good to have a friend--even if he was six years younger. Time changes all things, however, and when Eileen comes home from college Ben is no longer "little" in any sense of the word. He has a young man's body, a young man's desires, and he's done letting other men break his woman's heart. Ignorant people might call her a cougar, but if Ben has his way, soon everybody will be calling her Mrs. Cougar. Shapeshifter x vampire Older woman x younger man *** A few notes: This story takes place in the late '90s/early 2000s. This is a prequel, and while it does lead into the next story it can be read as a HEA standalone. This is an instant-love, slow-burn story that will include dirty talk and some some tamer aspects of kink-play as the characters' relationship progresses. Also, because I want everybody to have a happily ever after, this story will occasionally take detours into the minds and relationships of the side characters. I hope you enjoy! ***** #1 in cougar 8/2/21 #1 in olderwoman 12/8/21 #1 in youngerman 11/20/21 #1 in fatedlovers 8/2/21 #1 in bloodmates 12/27/22 #5 in loveconquersall 11/5/23 #9 in energy 12/8/21 #12 in empathy 12/8/21 #12 in nineties 11/5/23

Supernatural's by WALEXO_OXELAW

WALEXO_OXELAW Original In an ancient world, there lived many creatures whom the inhabitants thought of as otherworldly Deities. Due to the vast amount of said creatures, many religions & cults sprung up across this world in worship of them, however no one religion was the same, which caused conflict to spread among the people. Overtime, they soon began to forget about these strange beings as their civilizations advanced, and their existence was turned to mere myth as these once revered creatures were forced into hiding to preserve themselves. That was until 7 descendants of these mystical creatures each embark on a journey to the Mythic World after learning of their magical bloodline, in a place just below the earth's surface, known as Center Earth, and meet up as if by fate to face the beautiful wonders and perilous dangers of the place they'd only ever heard of in myth & legend.
