Having the ability to shape shift from human to dog has its perks, but how would you feel if you were forced to pass it on, forced to give this terrible curse to someone you weren't supposed to care about? Emma didn't ask to be a skinwalker. It was a life her abusive parents chose for her, so when she is forced to meet the Leader of the Skinwalkers, Raphael, she is given a job. To survive, she took the job. Only she didn't realize the job was to transform into a dog, pretend to be a family pet, and recruit and turn others into what they are. With Blake and his son Liam, however, Emma didn't see them as a job; she saw them as a chance at life, love, freedom, and a real family. But what if Raphael finds out? Will their happiness be destroyed? Will this curse be the end? Or will love find a way to conquer all?

Ayn's Healing
Ayn is a witch with healing powers. Shapeshifters have killed her parents and the only animals she cannot speak with are wolves. When she graduates from the Teaching Clan and finds out that she has to cross the River and live in the Wolves' Mountains for one year, she is less than amused. Kari, first-born shapeshifter Alpha, almost lost his wolf after the death of his mate. He could rise again and become the pack leader if only he would complete his training ...and find another suitable Luna. When he realizes that his second chance is his mother's guest, a daydreaming stubborn witch from across the River, he is less than amused. The bond may be a strong force, but can a witch walk the Wolves' Way and face the dangers it is paved with? **** "I need to stop..." I sigh, catching her wrist before her fingers reach the back of my neck, and I untangle her arm from me. She lingers on the recliner but now there is a big gap between our bodies. The warmth she left on my skin is quickly dissipating in the spring night. "Fine." Ayn stands and searches my eyes. Her scowl has my wolf whimper in submission and makes me curse my self-imposed hard line. "I am going to need your hoodie," she orders, stretching her hand out to me. "What?" I exclaim, briefly shocked by both the tone and the content of her words. My hands however are already executing her command, unzipping my jacket. "The last time I was able to sleep, I was covered with your hoodie. Your scent is comforting." She states it plainly as if it would be an obvious and broadly known fact. Like the Earth being round. Like two being a prime number. #1 in Healer - December 2021 #7 in Lycan - December 2022 ~95 000 words Cover photo by Jr Korpa via Unsplash Cover photo by Marc-Olivier Jodoin via Unsplash hiComplete

While doing what he's told, busy playing hero, and fretting over what's right and what's necessary in his new set of circumstances, he loses sight of how selfish, twisted, and deceitful these witches can be... | The Amby Awards 2024 TOP PICK in Paranormal |Complete
