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.

Bitten
Life has never seemed more serene than as I lay dying. Blood coats the forest floor beneath me, connecting with the foilage-covered soil in a parade of musty, copper smells. Through the rain drops that fall on me from the treetops, I can feel the icy breath of a dawning winter. It will be cold this year. It's a shame Ill never see it- I love the cold. Most cold. This cold that envelopes me now is hostile and uninviting, almost empty. They say that when you're faced with death, your life flashes before your eyes. The same could not be said for me. All I can think about in that moment, is the wolf. *COMPLETED* #1 Shapeshifter #1 Marked #16 RomanceComplete

The Reluctant Cougar (Rise of the Alpha King's Heir)
*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 11/5/23Complete
Her Mate - Olivia (The Gray Wolves Series #1)
Suddenly, I feel a hand that intertwines mine. The touch is warm but still not enough to comfort me after the news I've just got. I feel someone is leading me out of the office. Nothing is really clear to me. I barely see my parents, Julie and Eli's face as the hand keeps on pulling me away from them. No more links with Elijah. I don't know if I closed my mind or if he did. But I can't feel him anymore. My feet follow the lead. I raise my head and I see that the Prince is calmly leading me to the stairs. Before we start to climb the stairs, I feel a hand on my lower back while the other is still intertwined with mine. The Prince looks at me and no emotions can be read on his face. Does he have a heart? Can lycan love as gently as wolves? A wolf would be difficult to live with as a human. How is it going to work with a lycan? Is it even possible? I've never heard of such a thing. What has Moon Goddess done? Olivia is the daughter of the Blue Lakes Pack's Alpha and twin sister of the soon-to-be Alpha. Despite her Alpha bloodline, Olivia never got the chance to meet her wolf. Without a wolf, Olivia has the choice to stay in her pack or travel the world and live among humans. But the day she turns 20, when her brother becomes the new Alpha, nothing goes as expected. When some rebellious wolves threaten to attack, the Royal Lycan Family decides to send one of the Princes to take care of the situation. What happens when a kind Wolf-less girl meets a mysterious Lycan Royal Prince? One thing is sure: Olivia's journey will not be the one she expected.

Lupine
Shifters have lived in secret for centuries, but when they begin to be cannibalized, a rogue must leave her home and confront the monsters who changed her to stop the murders. Oleda has never lived with a Pack. When she was attacked by a wolf at twelve, she never expected to become one herself. Out of fear that she'd hurt those around her, Oleda fled into the wilderness to tame the beast insider her. A decade later her life as a lone wolf in Minneapolis was becoming hard. Human news filled with murders, people attacked by wolves or figures in the dark and pulled away from friends in broad daylight before the bodies were found in pieces... if at all. Only Oleda knew that monstrous creature was like her. In an effort to find it and save more humans from such a gruesome end, she'll need to find a pack willing to help. This is war and in war lone wolves die. This is the first work I've put on Wattpad since high school (and those are rather tragic). Anything else you see is old as hell, but I really wanted to get back into writing for myself. Enjoy!Complete
