Baby Doe was abandoned at 2 days old.  Found by nuns, he was named and sent to an orphanage, where he was adopted by James and Leoan Harris.  Matthew Joseph Harris was smart, happy, beautiful, and gentle.   He skipped grades, leaving behind the children that were his age, and found himself the target of bullies much older than he was, who hated him because he was so intelligent.

One day, the bullies went too far.  They ganged up on Matthew, beating him viciously. His fear that they might actually kill him triggered something inside of him, and he suddenly shifted into a Wolf!   Now fighting for his life, he defended himself and tore out the throat of the attacker trying to kill him.  Confused by the sudden impossible changes in his body, frightened and disgusted with what he had done, he crouched over the body in shock.  His parents, who were there and saw him shift, picked up several bats and began beating him.

Not understanding what had happened to him, a voice in his head told him to run. So he ran until  he couldn't run any further.  He finally collapsed, hidden deep in the woods, with no idea how much his life had just changed .

The Mahani Wolves by AprilJester
65 parts Complete Mature
When no good deed goes unpunished... Created by the Moon Goddess to protect her wolves from predators and those in power, the magical Mahani wolves should live idyllic lives, but reality is cruel. In the aggressive world of werewolves, anyone who interferes with the power of a pack (or the humans) will receive a punishment far greater than the crime--even if that entity is helping others. In return for this help, the werewolves and humans hunt, torture, and kill the Mahani, stealing their children--the list of abuse continues. However, nothing can stop these wolves from helping those who need them. So what happens when the tribe protecting Europe realizes the Moon Goddess has several of their fates intertwined within a wolf pack? Will the abuse override the matebond, or will this pack be able to handle the power and stigma that comes with being mated to a Mahani wolf? ------ This story is a paranormal/fantasy dark drama. The front-end materials provide a complete content warning, since the chapters lack trigger markers. Stay safe in what you read. Because this is a new werewolf world, the front-end material also contains The Mahani World Guide, so you can get a feel for the ranks and powers before diving in. It is not a necessary read, but it's there if you need it.

All Nyla wanted was a mate of her own, now she got one, but only to find out it was not how she envisioned him. After just meeting, Derek, her mate and alpha of the Bloodfang Pack, with his messed up life, he didn't want a mate to put her in harms, but fate wasn't so kind, that it pushed these two together. So what will happen? Read and find out. Teaser: "Hey Derek, are you okay? Is there a problem?" I asked as he suddenly raised his head slowly. "Yeah, there is, you," I felt a pain of hurt in my chest hearing his words. "I was trying so hard not to find you but it looks like it's too late now." Tears almost descended from my eyes, but I blinked more faster to keep them from falling. How could he have said that, it hurt. While his back was turned to me and was ruffling up his hair with his hand, I took the opportunity to get passed him and I walk back towards the party. I needed to find Kim and get out of here, tonight had officially went south. As I was walking up the steps of the porch, I felt a hand pulled me back and was pressed to a hard chest. What did he wanted now. "Where do you think your going?" Derek asked as his head was buried in my neck. "Where else? Inside dumb ass," I spat out in disgust. "Not with all those wild, un-tamed, un-mated males!" He growled. "Why it's not like you care about me?" I shot back. "I don't, but my wolf does" He doesn't want me but his wolf does that's even more hurtful. "He wants you, he wants you now. Your coming with me back to my territory." "You're an Alpha?" I asked bewildered finding out who my mate is. "Yes I am and you're coming with me!" He growled out slowly.
