When mutilated bodies start cropping up all across the island of Manhattan, all more gruesome than the next, no one ever suspects the more sinister nature behind the crimes. As the crimes spread and new faces flash across the news every night, 19-year-old Elowen, an introverted antique shop employee, begins to notice the strange coincidences that follow her boss and his new friends around, from speaking in a dead language to showing up in odd places late at night. Not one to snoop, Elowen tries to ignore the impossible connections her boss and his friends seem to have to the murders happening everywhere. That is until her upstairs neighbor is brutally murdered in the alley behind her building and Elowen witnesses the perpetrator ripping into the old man with her own eyes.

[DISCONTINUED] **MATURE LANGUAGE AND CONTENT** **POSSIBLE TRIGGERS** WATTYS2018 I walk down the staircase, entranced with his sharp, angular features. I notice how his lip curls up at the edge when he sees me. A soft breeze blows his scent across the room, and I can't think. Roses and salty ocean waves fill my nostrils. Add sunlight to the mix- which shouldn't have a smell but Luna, he smells like it- and I'm pretty sure if I could open my mouth, I'd be drooling. 'Mate.' My wolf whispers, giddy. I scramble back up the stairs. ____________________ Opening up when something terrible happens is hard. Near impossible. Jessamine Lightly was as normal as a Lycanthrope could be, but also a self-conscious teenager who felt a little out of place. She never thought that a boy would be interested in her, much less want to date her. Jessa learns too late that not every boy has pure intentions, and the boy she thought loved her, just wanted what was beneath her clothing. Hiding her physical and emotional pain from her family, Jessa copes with scarring memories and revelations. Intent on escaping her personal devil, Jessa plans to leave her pack. But having her mate- that she doesn't want- show up on her doorstep could change everything. Love, pain, twisted agendas and more...Jessamine goes through it all. Can she keep it all together before before someone figures out the true secret hidden in her scars? #724 Rejection 7/29/18 #339 Rejection 2/15/19 #6 empty 8/20/18

Bronze Winner in the Throne of Awards hosted by @TheThroneCommunity -- -- -- ---------- -- -- -- Pain. That was all Ashelia knew while growing up - pain. The only person holding her together was her mother and her tales of the fallen moon and its big, black wolf. So, when her sweet, loving mother is gone, no one is left to hold off the monsters from taking their sweet time torturing a child who couldn't fight back. No one. Nothing. Not until Ashelia finds herself on the run again with blood and ashes on her hands and a beast within her craving blood. Join Ashelia on her journey as she learns to awaken the dormant beast inside, control her powers, and unravel the past, the reason why things had to go the way they did. -- -- -- ---------- -- -- -- + If you are reading this on any site other than Wattpad then it is being unlawfully shared.
