In the deep hollows of post-bellum West Virginia, supernatural secrets become the basis of romance.

After her sister elopes with a neighbor, it is up to Mahala to inform her once future brother-in-law of the changes back home. Captain Walker, away in the western territories, had been engaged to Mahala's beautiful sister for years, but after so long the engagement turned cold. Upon Captain Walker's return to the deep hollows of the newly founded West Virginia, Mahala find that her secrets and abilities are not so unusual to the man who could have been her brother-in-law...and could be her own suitor. Mahala finds, however, that Captain Walker's acceptance of Mahala's abilities has much to do with a secret of his own...a dark, dangerous secret.

Profound Devotion by adams1vr

For as long as anyone could remember, werewolves and Lycans lived in peace. Choosing to remain separate from the rest of the world, the Lycanthropes retreated to the deepest depths of the Gurydia Mountains. As time passed, Alphas of the surrounding territories began fearing the potential threat that loomed in the darkness. Cassius, Alpha of the Lycans and the one in charge of keeping his people safe, had to watch as his entire world was burned to the ground by manic wolves who ripped through the members of his pack with no mercy. Only managing to save his younger brother, he vowed to get his revenge if it took the life he had left. As the youngest daughter to the reigning Crescent Valley Alpha family, Monaia felt out of place within her community. Choosing to study under the current doctor, she spent most of her time helping the injured and desperate members of her pack. When she stumbles upon a wounded male near the cliff that separated their land from the Gurydia Mountains, she wastes no time bringing him back to the village to nurse him back to health. Only when he reveals his identity as the youngest Lycan brother does she realize what exactly she welcomed into her family's home. Even worse, as chaos ensues when the sole man hell-bent on their destruction bursts through the border to protect the only family he has left, Naia manages to seal her fate by welcoming them both with open arms. ***Updated every Thursday by 02:00 pm Eastern Time ****Now #1 in protection!

[Completed] Amira is a human who finds herself thrust into a world she doesn't know. Once she wakes up in the strange town of Woling, she has to fight to regain the memories of the evils she committed in order to keep her past from destroying everything she has grown to love. "Littering, that's something that you can be sorry for." "I needed to get it out of the way for a moment," He replied absently, pushing himself off of the pillar and I blinked at him confused as he walked around to stand before me. "I'll pick it up after this." "After what-" I cut my own words off, my air catching as his warm breath fanned over my cheeks, the smell of him filling my nose. Intoxicating. "You're beautiful you know." My cheeks burned. "Like a thousand wildflowers," I said. His hooded eyes were bright in the dim light, a content smile pulling at the corners of his lips when I spoke. Dad had said that once, I had nearly forgotten it. Forgotten what it felt like to feel loved. "Like a thousand wildflowers," he echoed.

Bite or Howl by barbziecult

I could feel its presence from behind me. I tried walking faster, but I could feel it slowly pacing near me. I turned around, expecting a dark, hideous vampire standing behind me, but to my surprise, there was none. I turn back around to start going back to the pack house where it's safe but I realise, he's right in front of me. My breath catches in my throat as I let out a gasp. "Never seen something so beautiful, I see?" He taunts. "Make one sound and I'll bite you right here, right now." ════ *.·:·. ☽ ✧ ✦ ✧ ☾ .·:·.* ════ Phoebe Wolf, a gorgeous werewolf and daughter of the Alpha.

Deep Canyon Love by teaandconsent

A polyamorous romance, with a supernatural twist. In an alternate earth, where human civilization has been bolstered and stabilized by the supernatural packs that control the civilized parts of the world, the small town of Deep Canyon controls the large swath of territory in the southern part of the continent that humans once knew as North America. Established by the heir of the Stoneweaver pack as an alternative to the toxic, patriarchal pack systems once espoused by humans and supernaturals alike, the town is a haven for building relationships between the remaining human civilizations and the supernaturals who play by the rules of equality and respect for all. Kline Stillwater and Mackai Stoneweaver have been searching an individual foretold by the Stillwater witches when they were young, their third mate. The two men bide their time in their open, bisexual relationship, with the faith that one day that person will arrive. Doctor Liz Vincent has travelled the world, providing medical care to human communities struggling the aftereffects of wars that saw human civilization topple. Recovering from the wounds of her last mission across the world, Liz is undertaking a cross-continent bike trip to settle her heart and mind, barely cognizant of whose territories she's riding through. Only a few miles outside of Deep Canyon, Liz finds herself losing a game of chicken with coyotes. When Liz arrives at his mechanic shop, Kline recognizes the person he and Mackai have been waiting for, but past scars on all sides may be more than any of them are prepared to battle through.

Escaping Duty by Sayonara_A

After encountering something of myths one day after work, Valentina begins questioning her once mundane world. Seeking answers to prove she's not crazy, she receives another shocking truth that hits even closer to home. Mason returns home to escape his past, but familiar faces return, and new threats arrive in town. Keeping an eye on the enemy, he struggles to avoid getting involved any more than he should. But, when their paths cross, they learn not everything is black and white, and the people you least suspect could be your enemy. ------ 'This is a dumb idea' she thought to herself. Slowly she began reaching her hand towards the animal, feeling compelled to touch it. Would it be as soft as it looked? Did it want her to touch it? The rain continued pelting them, but it felt like its eyes were drawing her into another space, where nothing else mattered. The sudden desire to be closer to this animal was beginning to overtake her mind, especially as her hand neared its head. The whole time the animal only watched her with those large eyes. She imagined it almost asking for her touch. It didn't cross her mind how she knew he'd be soft, or how she even knew the creature was a 'he' to begin with. As her finger just barely grazed the animal, multiples things happened. She felt something shock her causing her to pull her hand back, just as thunder and lightning sounded. When the light cleared the animals' eyes, were narrowed into slits, and it was growling. It was a deep menacing sound that sent her stumbling backward, heart wildly beating. It bared fangs the size of her hand alone dipping its head. Had her touch angered the animal into finally attacking her? She kept moving backward in the rain, slipping in her converses as the creature continued growling. It was then she knew she was prepared to run, no matter what happened.
