It closed the distance between them with slow, deliberate steps. Mary let out an involuntary whimper. She wished she hadn't fled.

Mary squeezed her eyes shut, desperately hoping this was a nightmare. It brushed against her. She felt its breath. This was where she'd meet her end. Just like her people had.

She could've sworn the guttural sound it made was a laugh.

"Run," it taunted.

***

A Shifter's blood is more coveted than gold. Unfortunately, all Shifters have been dead for years. 

So when word gets out that one has been spotted, Mary is intrigued.

Chasing what is likely a false hope, Mary travels to the Blue Forest with promise of great reward for a Shifter found alive. But the forest is scattered with corpses, and the few things that live there could easily add her to the death count.

With the threat of Beasts and the greed of man, only the powerful or a fool would search for a dead race. Mary is neither, but this may be her one chance to meet a Shifter.

Consequences be damned.

🥀Heat licks up my bones and into the surrounding skin, my groan of pleasure joining Damaris's low growl of desire. However, his lips stay as gentle as his grip on my waist, allowing me to choose how far this will go. My throat rumbles as I purr from his hand slowly trailing up my arm to the side of my neck. My head clouds from the tingling sensation sparking along my flesh, a moment rich like the heady scent of roses and abruptly dashed by the sound of running feet.🌹 (🥉Third Place Best Male Protagonist Award, The Booker Awards) 🐺A fantasy world filled with magic and adventure 🗡 📜The secondary language is Latin🗝 The four walls of the twisting tower was her sanctuary. The one place in the dark woods that Ivaine has called home for most of her life. For twelve long years it has been just her, an almost lonely existence if not for the birds, squirrels, and other creatures that roam the seemingly lifeless wood. A life of quiet that she enjoys, until her world comes crashing down in a blur of smoke and fear. As monsters of fur and fangs descend upon the woods and fill the air with the stench of blood and shrieks of the dying. Like the forest creatures she runs for her life and hides in the ruins of a stone cave. Until a monster finds her, golden eyes rimmed with red. A black wolf that changes before her frightened eyes, leaving a young man in its place. A single word will leave her lips, sealing her fate amongst the ashes of her past. Thus setting in motion the unwinding of all she has known and forgotten. Loved ones she has once lost, will come back as the impending battle for the lands of Europa draws near. While a dangerous sorceress plots to outwit her death, a demise that has been foretold for centuries.

"Who's out there?" One of the men yelled. Of course only silence met them. I remained quiet and waited for the group to start moving again. "Maybe it was just an animal." Someone whispered. The person, who I assumed was the captain of the small squad, signaled for them to walk again. They clearly showed fear as they kept going; brandishing their weapons to guard themselves with. "Two are holding lanterns. I'll tell you when you're too close to them." I heard my friend whisper in my ear. I followed the men as I picked up another branch and waited for the right time to break it. They continued to walk through the forest, turning their heads in every direction as if an animal might lunge at them and rip their throats out. I guess in a way I was going to do that. "Go back a few feet." My friend whispered. I carefully distanced myself from the group and waited. "Where is she?" I quickly snapped the stick as soon as he finished asking the question. They stopped and two soldiers raised their lanterns to shine its light in the darkness. I quickly hid behind a tree before both of them turned where I was. A low frustrated growl came from one of the men, "The girl's playing with us. She's out here following our every move." How paranoia can cloud the mind. At nine years old, Silver decided to leave her village for the forest. Since then, she's been hunted; everyday is a fight for her life, every breath she takes could be her last, but she's determined to stay alive. Her life isn't the kind anyone would want to live but she's managed to survive this long so, what's a few more years?
