The Witch's Choice ( The Last Werewolf #2 ) by LovelyWithTheBooks

One night, she stood outside his door, a witch, his mate - with something to tell. She said, "I'll bring Christine from the grave, but first, it's Marco you must help me save." "You took his life - now make it right. Help me, and she'll return to light." But does Daniel still want Christine back... when his true mate stands on the living track? Will he choose the love that used to be, or the one that still could be? And will Isabell follow the pull of fate, or choose the one who makes her feel safe? And maybe it's all just a big mistake, a choice the Goddess can't take back. --- Set in the same world as The Last Werewolf. This story picks up at the conclusion of the original and Alpha Dane's Games, filled with major spoilers. However, it can be enjoyed as a standalone tale focusing on Isabell and Daniel.

Bound in Spirals by DistortedSense

A young man finds himself stranded by the death of another. (Written March 2015 - Feb 2018) 12/30/2021 - Author's note: I write to those who have awaited more of this world... I have not revisited this story in years and will likely have to do some major edits/rewrites before I write a sequel. I am sorry to inform it will probably be some more years before I have the time/energy. For now, consider this a fragment of a fuller universe. It is also a peek into the process of me learning to write as well as my early attempts to deconstruct power dynamics/hierarchy/gender/etc. I appreciate anyone who has found something of worth here and I want to reassure you that I don't intend to leave this story to rest forever. It will be reborn from its ashes and bring with it new growth.

The Blade and The Bird by kqbooks

She'd spent many years playing in this forest as a child. While Selene had enjoyed her novels in the warmth of the house, a blanket wrapped around her narrow shoulders, Sidra always came home covered in mud and scrapes from hours out in the wilderness. She'd take an axe out into the forest and pretend to fight off monsters, the terrifying Mystics that her grandmother had told her stories about. She'd pretend to fight Lycans, knocking out their massive teeth one by one. She'd stand atop rocks and throw her axe at the trees, pretending they were wood nymphs come to steal her away. She'd always return home and tell Selene about the monsters she'd fought that day, spinning together a story of courage and bravery for her little sister. She felt that pain in her heart again as she thought of those times. Through the years, she'd stop going into the woods to play, and she'd instead find stories for Selene. Books of all sizes and shapes, no matter the content, because it made her feel close to her sister just as she had before her parents died. She thought of her family now, how she was all alone. Her parents had been gone for years, her grandmother, and now even Selene was missing somewhere. She needed to find her sister, she couldn't lose the last bit of her family. **
