This normalcy is what he had always wanted, but it comes at a cost.

Tom the wolf is well-acquainted with living alone. University has brought him warmth, but that isn't enough. Sometimes, life still drags him to the depths of the alleyways to remind him of his story. It's a regular scenario of harsh reality until he meets a German Shepherd named Max. Little by little, he finds the world slowly changes for the better as warmth begins to seep in.

Does it for Max, though? Not quite. As Tom shows him other sides of life, he finds himself torn. Even when he's graduating from university, Tom shows him that there are still things about himself that he must learn. Whom should he believe in? The answer kept coming a resounding "himself". With the wolf to guide him, he's willing to learn and accept the change, even if he himself can be at stake.

This homosexual furry romance story contains heavy themes of homosexuality and slight homophobia, physical and psychological abuse, disturbing behaviour and scenes, violence and blood, PTSD, and multipersonality.

Blooded Mate by rhycce
134 parts Complete Mature
[[MATURE CONTENT]] Pack, family, mate. Loyalty, respect, honor. These are the words that form the foundation of the wolf society. At six years old, Ethan had to choose between his Alpha title and his survival on the night of his father's death. As a teenager, his family and lineage are further humiliated because he has not had his first transformation. Between dealing with a bully on a power trip, the challenges of high school, a less than sympathetic alpha, and his current impairment, Ethan is barely surviving. His daily prayer to Luna was simple: a request to find his wolf. But he would soon learn that the moon goddess does not do things by half-measures. On the night of his first transformation, she also tossed in a mate who wants absolutely nothing to do him and a vengeful alpha hell-bent on ripping his neck out. Soon he learns that high school bullies and homework are the least of his worries when he has to flee his pack and live with his mate: the warrior vampire whose entire history was forged from killing his kind. Learning to control his wolf, avoiding assassins, fighting his mate, and for his mate become daily struggles. But battles come in many forms and not always when or where he expects them. Soft, sensual victories within the sheets are as just as important as the hard-won, blood-filled ones on a gory forest floor. And failure on any battlefield could mean a slow, painful death. A/N -Warning This is a gay-themed novel with some fighting. So there will be intense scenes both in bed and out of it. If you are not a fan of boyxboy action, then this novel is not for you. PS.

In the bustling halls of Fur High, everyone is just trying to figure out where they belong. For Jay, a quiet and artistic deer, high school has been an uphill battle. Between dodging bullies on the football team and sticking close to his tight-knit group of friends-a boisterous tiger, a cerebral wolf, a free-spirited hawk, and a calm cheetah -Jay is just trying to survive the chaos. Sam, a confident and charismatic ginger shark, seems to have it all. As the captain of the football and swim teams, he's the golden boy of Fur High. But beneath his tough exterior lies a young man questioning everything he thought he knew about himself. When their paths cross in an unexpected way, Jay and Sam form a tentative connection that forces them both to confront their identities, fears, and desires. As the two navigate secret hangouts, awkward movie nights, and moments of startling vulnerability, they discover that their growing friendship could mean something more. But in a school where labels and reputations rule, their bond is tested by peer pressure, personal doubts, and the lingering question of who they truly want to be. "Fur High" is a heartfelt coming-of-age tale about finding yourself, defying expectations, and the beauty of connection in the most unlikely places. With its mix of humor, raw emotion, and memorable characters, this story captures the essence of growing up-and the courage it takes to let others see the real you.

"A mate will love you and only you. No other can compare to you and he or she will treasure you above all and everything in the world," mommy says to me as she kissed my forehead. I sighed dreamily. I can't wait till I find my mate. He'll be perfect and handsome and funny and smart and brave and beautiful and he'll love me... only ever me... and... and... Present This hurts so much. Seeing and hearing and knowing my mate, the one who's supposed to love me above all, me, only me is in love with somebody else. I'd hate him if I could. I'd reject him if I could... I wish I could. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Important My books are written explicitly for a MATURE AUDIENCE 18 YEARS AND OLDER.
