In a world where the supernatural exist in heavy numbers, Kyra Harris is a devoted private investigator. She is torn between the familiar setting of her house in a suburb in Chicago, Illinois; and her need for excitement and adventure. While out shopping in a divey neighborhood, she is attacked by a vampire in broad daylight, which is uncharacteristic for them. A beautiful stranger helps fend off the vampire and sends her on a trail of clues to solve a 30-year-old cold case that involves the murder of a 25-year-old girl. 

Kyra hits a dead end when the coroner tells her that there was hair on the body that does not match any living beings. She feels that something is off about the case, which is then ratified when the coroner is murdered before he can do further testing.

Important people are dying simply for being involved in the case.

Kyra knows in her soul that it is her fault.

When she runs out of options, she investigates the local rumor going around: vampires being holed up in Russia with their leader. She travels to the town of the fabled "Dracula's Mansion", which was believed to be the first place where vampires lived and hunted.

Kyra knows that they won't accept her, but much to her dismay, they do.

Why?

Little does she know, she is a descendant of a hybrid vampire.

As far as she knew, her parents were human. She had constantly asked them in the hopes that she could be something other than an ordinary human. Were her parents lying to her? If so, why?

She doesn't care anymore. She just wants justice for the victims of the old and new murders committed by and unknown species.

WitchHunter ✔️ by EmilyAnnGoodwin
50 parts Complete
A WitchHunter with a glorious destiny. An assassin desperate for freedom. A stable boy with a dangerous secret. A friend with a hidden family. A brother who craves vengeance. ~~~ The deceit is this: The Hunter has a Lochri daughter. The stable boy has a secret curse. The WitchMaster isn't what he appears. No one knows how or why the Lochri came into being. Some believe it was the work of gods. Others, many, many others, believe they are spawned from something much darker. WitchHunters, employed at Hunter's guilds, live their lives in search of these monsters, these unnatural beings who dare to question the order we have kept in place for centuries. I do not hold the title of WitchHunter, however, for I am something far more sinister. I am Alice, the Demon Raven of Kindleridge, and I'm their Ace. ~~~ They call her the Ace, the assassin owned by Velius Dag, highest ranking WitchMaster in the Kingdom. For six years, the Ace has lived mostly unbothered, but all that will change when Hale Arsen, Velius's adopted son, returns to the Ridge, and the Ace is assigned to protect him, as he will one day become the future WitchMaster. Tensions rise as the two clashing personalities come together time after time in feud, but with the Lochri problem growing ever stronger, and secrets begin to unravel themselves, these two opposing forces will have to realize that working together may be the only way to keep the world from figuring out the truth that could spell disaster for them all. What happens when you realize you might be the bad guy?

"You were made for me. And I, for you." His breath is right beside my ear and I tightly shut my eyes closed. He leans down closer. "I was made to love you. To fuck you," My breath catches at the last part. I'm suddenly thinking naughty things and I can't help it. I'm imagining him taking me in his office. On this desk. Feeling what his tongue would taste like. He pulls back lightly and deeply inhales. If possible, his eyes darken even more. They're almost as dark as the night. "I know you want me too, Adira." ****************************************************** Strong. Intimidating. Cunning. Resilient. All characteristics that he embodies.

[Completed] Every Wolf Moon, humans are selected from each village to be sacrificed to the werewolves; creatures worshipped by humans as godlike figures. In a twist of fate, seventeen year old Mila Young is selected to be the annual sacrifice for the Trinity pack, the most powerful pack ruled by King Alpha Roman Stone. Alpha Roman and all werewolves under his rule are cursed. His hatred for the humans and his war on the deity Moon Goddesses has caused his kind to lose the favor of their blessings. However, when Mila reveals herself to have a connection to the werewolves unlike anything a human has ever had before, it becomes apparent that she may be the key to ending the suffering of Roman and his wolves... if only he can overcome the lifelong hatred that clouds his mind and darkens his heart. Excerpt: "You smell like wolf," The King Alpha declared, his voice low and angry. "I killed one," I both explained the smell and threatened at the same time. "And you think you can kill me? You think you can take my pack?" I glanced around at all the lycans still in their wolf forms, bowing obediently towards me. Could I take all of them on? I doubted it. I didn't even think I'd get this far. I didn't even know what was going on. When I turned back to the King Alpha, he was significantly closer. "Stay back!" I cried out in fear. The power flared within me once more, lifting whimpers from around me. The King Alpha hesitated again, his eyes skating over me with confusion. He took a deep breath, sniffing the air around me as he hadn't yet gotten any closer. "You smell like... my mate." {{Warning: Some scenes may be unsuitable for audiences below the age of 15 and offensive to those of all ages. Read at your own risk.}} Rankings: #1 in Lycans #1 in wolf

Reborn: The Allies of Old (Book One) by LinnetMc
8 parts Complete Mature
Nineteen year old Anna Preston appears to lead a life typical for a young woman in modern-day America. But she has a secret. For the past three years she's been seeing shadowy figures mingling with the populace. Made of smoke and vapor with a vaguely human form, they are not overtly threatening, but in the recesses of her mind there are whispers of nightmares long buried and forgotten. Jared is of a race created solely for the purpose of protecting humankind from demons, and for the first two centuries of life he was fully devoted to the service. Until the very ones he protected repaid him by destroying everything he ever loved. For decades Jared's hatred of humans was a living thing, but time has a way of dulling strong emotion and centuries later he is mostly indifferent. But when he learns a vial of his blood is being used in depraved activities, a long forgotten past comes hurdling back. ** Humans, Vampires, Faerians, and Shifters once banded together to fight their common enemy, but it has been many centuries since the demons presented a real threat to the world- and in these modern times most are oblivious to the danger lurking just beyond their perception and mankind has reduced both allies and enemies to fairy tales and boogie men. Signs are beginning to appear that allude to this threat rising in power once more, but with the alliances largely broken and those still continuing the fight few and far between, the human race is on the precipice of a grave danger that could threaten their very existence. And so it is of dire need for the allies to gather together once more. Ancient prophesies will soon begin to surface, one in particular that speaks of a unifying force initiated by the unlikeliest of beings...

49 parts Complete Mature

Bitten. Transformed. Trapped in a world of lies - and at the mercy of a dangerous Alpha she shouldn't want, but can't resist. Book 1 of Epsilon *** As the only human-turned-werewolf in the pack, Kyra is simultaneously despised, mistrusted, and in possession of a dangerous power - a combination that makes her head spin. Alpha Azriel sees Kyra's potential and is eager to draw her into his world, but Kyra doesn't feel that the war between the packs is hers to fight. All she wants is to return to the life she once knew. Yet as Azriel proves himself more ally than enemy, something deeper begins to stir. A dangerous bond is forming between them, and Azriel's war may just become her own. Because while Kyra doesn't believe it, and the other wolves may try to deny it, there is one unfaltering truth: their kingdom is crumbling, and only she has the power to save it. And the Alpha? He might just be hers to claim. **This is a rewrite of the previous title, Epsilon.
