Humans evolved from apes and every animal in the world can be traced back along evolution to the first living cells. That means that animals and humans are connected in a way, however distantly. But what if the connection wasn't invisible. What if animal traits could be seen in humans?

A fictional world where people who carry these traits are feared and contained, persecuted even, and are deemed the 'afflicted'. The world is just starting to recover after a recent war with these 'afflicted' and things don't appear to be changing for the better. Each year the treatment of those who are different becomes worse, even after they are confined to the large island of Pangaea.

Politicians, diplomats and world leaders are gathering on Pangaea to discuss the worsening attitudes toward the 'afflicted' and with them comes Cree Lyne. Along with the fox, the bluejay and the ever-snoring grizzly will she find her stolen brother or find out why the long-dead raccoon boy still haunts his friends?

Everything changed when they came out of hiding, terror spread across the world as people began to question if our presidents and our global leaders lied to us and weren't from the same race. The Beasts blended in amongst us as if we were the same, except humans didn't have the same predatory instincts and we couldn't change our forms like they could. Soon after we learnt that we weren't the only species people began going missing. Some were unlucky and taken as something that the Beasts called a Mate that one word made fear spread throughout my veins, I would rather sell my soul than have one of them mutts chain me to them. Six months went by before the government, that was un-tainted by this vile race began to take action into their own hands contacting other countries and militaries causing the great war to happen, sending both my parents off to fight for our rights.

The Hunt by NikkyCole19
36 parts Complete Mature
Michelle's life was almost perfect. Loving family, great college, perfect grades, good friends, and a crush on one of the sweetest guys she's met. The only problem is that a local werewolf has decided she's his mate. With the struggles of falling in love and discovering things about herself she didn't know, she also gets thrown in the middle of a fued between the hunters and the hunted. ***** He finally made eye contact and I couldn't tell what he was thinking, or how he was feeling at that moment. He had me shut out. "Dad won't let her in the pack." "I know." "Are you sure she's human?" I rub my eyes again, they were really beginning to burn. "Yes, unless I've gone absolutely insane." I stopped rubbing my eyes for a moment. "Maybe I am crazy? I feel like it." Caden sighed, "That's the mate bond. The longer you go without, the worse you get." I knew that. I didn't like to think about it, but we all grew up hearing about it. Going crazy, your body shutting down. Wolves weren't meant to be separated from their Soulmates. It physically and mentally drained them until they just one day gave up. I never thought it would happen to me since it doesn't ever actually happen. We all knew better. Unfortunately my human mate did not. Caden watched me from where he sat, he knew what I was thinking, and was thinking the same himself. We didn't know how much time I had. "Well, I for one, as Alpha, would not mind a human in our midst if she is your mate." I let a small chuckle slip out and leaned back in my chair, crossing my arms. "Is it because you're so accepting of humans, or because you insist on having me as your Beta?" Caden smirked at me, "Does it matter?"
Change in Life by RyanOrchard8
43 parts Complete Mature
Blake never wanted much in life, purely because he did not receive a lot to begin with. School brought him down and his father's enthusiastic hunting separated his heart from his family. All he really had were the woods near his home and the strange otherworldly feelings it invoked inside him. That would all change in one night when Blake stumbled upon its meaning in his darkest hour of depression, as a vixen, mortally wounded by his father's gun, came to show him a new way. The lights of the spiritual plane were shown to him, the balance and power of Mother Nature revealed as dark quickly gave way to peace, and a new start to his life could begin with the changing of who he was. Literally. Now, it's up to Blake to hold on to that peace whatever the cost with his new canine look and live for what he knows is right. With the vixen reborn by his side, he must cope with both love and loss through the eyes of a fox, deal with the impossible odds Mother Nature throws at him as he tries to find a new worth in a desolate world, and survive the relentless anguish from his own father's struggle to understand his son's disappearance. This unique and poignant look into depression, grief and its affects on relationships with a supernatural spin takes you through the eyes of man and animal as themes of tragedy, acceptance of who we are, and finding a means to push on despite the hardships of life weave deep determinations in the belief that not all is truly hopeless, no matter how dark the path ahead may seem.
Hunter by EvilynRonan

This is it. He's going to die, and I'll be free. At the last second, he moved, and I was suddenly pinned up against the wall, the silver dagger now in his hand. He pressed the blade to my throat, a sadistic grin creeping across his face. "Oh, Reese," he purred. "Are you in trouble now..." He leaned closer, his lips brushing my jaw. I inhaled softly. "Please," I said, my voice shaky... *** In a world where the human population has been overrun by all manner of supernatural entities, defiance is met with death. Humans are forced to be living blood bags for vampires, test subjects for witches and warlocks, and the slaves and servants of werewolves. Reese Hearne remembers the time before. When supernatural beings hid in the shadows, afraid to show their faces to the world. The time before Hunters became the prey, before they were tracked down and killed. Every last one of them. Except for Reese. Fueled by a dark past, she wrecks havoc across the supernatural world in Toronto, armed only by stakes, a silver dagger, and a lust for revenge. Then she kills the younger brother of Elijah Randon, Toronto's Alpha, the Alpha of the largest pack in North America. And he is not one to forgive easily. Then again, neither is Reese. *** "Unfortunately, Little Hunter, I have my own game to play..." ---- #1 in alpha - March 07, 2022 #1 in desire - March 10, 2022 #1 in generalfiction - December 7, 2022 #1 in hunter - May 31, 2022 #1 in matebond - May 5, 2022 #1 in revenge - March 13, 2022 #1 in resistance - March 03, 2022 #1 in magic - March 19, 2022 #2 in lust - March 11, 2022 #3 in teenfiction - July 6, 2022 #3 in mates - June 10, 2022 #3 in paranormal - March 07, 2022 #3 in love - March 07, 2022 #3 in vampire - March 07, 2022 #6 in romance - March 07, 2022 #10 in werewolf - March 07, 2022
