After Death offered him another chance in life, a young artist struggles to live between two worlds: the human one where he fulfils his banal duties as an unknown artist and the supernatural world where he lives as a notorious beast whose head is hunted by countless masses.
***
The Day-Lynx, a malformed lynx-like beast in Borealm Woods, has never done the Mountkirk locals harm. But the beast has become infamous among the citizens of the realm, leading both the villagers and outsiders to hunt it down and end its reign, even if they have to get their hands dirty.
For years, it haunts the daydreams and nightmares of not only children, but even the toughest adults as well. When a bad incident strikes one of the villagers and involves the beast, the hunt for it ravages more than ever.
However, some people are against the plan, including Rozell, an indie paintgrapher who's eager to portray nature in a more positive light. But only time can decide if his defiance can last long enough.
And in the end, only the villagers can determine whether Rozell is only trying to avoid unnecessary trouble, or if he has chosen to save the beast instead of himself.

To make ends meet now that her husband has died in combat, Patrice accepts the only job going in the small town-backbreaking work picking fruit for the local farmer. When the farmer asks Patrice to move the cows into the lower field, she thinks nothing of it until one cow decides to go on an adventure through the wrong gate. After moving the cow, Patrice notices a glowing gem in the long grass. Patrice decides that it has to be returned to its owner and assumes that the shadowy figure in the distance is that person. Transfixed by the stone and its magical powers, Patrice chases after the mysterious figure, forgetting about the world behind her.

My Mate, My Omega, My Luna, My Best Friend's Brother
Okay, y'all... I wrote this when I was 13 (over 5 years ago as of 2024) and this was honestly my polyam awakening. This was supposed to only be a bxb, and turned into a bxbxbxbxb (with like 20 kids).

Now... on to the description! Kyle is a gay omega. His dad abuses him because his mom died during his birth. His only salvation is finding a mate on his 16th birthday, in 6 days. His older brother (Kade) is the soon to be beta of his pack, and actually stands up for him. His brother's best friend, Jordan, is he soon to be alpha. Jordan has been given everything he wants in life, and is about to be given the alpha title. His father, the alpha of the Red Moon Pack, abuses his little mate constantly, as well as his mate's dad. Nobody knows that he has a mate, and nobody will know.... Until his mate's 16th birthday. Or will he tell someone? Will someone figure it out? What will happen when Kyle finds his mate? Will Jordan be rejected? Will Kyle finally be happy? Will Kyle and Jordan's past come back to haunt them or make them happy? And who are the mysterious Royal Twins that only want their mates?
