If an Alpha took the time, and would read through were history, they should start to notice patterns emerging from the chaos surrounding the rise and fall of packs. For an Alpha who is tired of looking for his mate, he might notice that newfound mates often surround that chaos.

Jonah Meecham is a 3rd generation pack's Alpha who is missing the one thing that makes leadership worthwhile: a future to pass his successes and mistakes onto.  That, and he's a fairly devout believer in the Moon Goddess and her will in choosing predestined mates.  The only problem is that the history of late-found mates is  bound heavily in the worst things a werewolf could face: the brutality of his own kind.  Not all relationships beat those kind of odds.

Story is set around 2001 or 2002.

Look, we're adults, I don't worry about triggers, and I don't waste excess writing on whatever negatives are unnecessary to the story, so it shouldn't be too severe. Consider yourself warned.

Rejecting the Alpha by Vielle_
49 parts Complete Mature
Kylie survived the brutal destruction of her pack only to discover her cold alpha mate was the one responsible for the brutal slaughter of her family and pack mates. She can't forgive and she won't forget. Kylie cooperates with his demands while she searches for a way to free the remaining survivors and herself. Success teaches her just how complicated mate bonds can be and gives her the chance to choose her own fate. "Screw the mate bond. If I went for his throat while he was driving in human form, I might be able to kill him right now, and if I didn't succeed, the resulting accident might. I leapt for the front seat, powerful jaw ready to rip out his throat as he had ripped out my family's to take my revenge. Without even taking his left hand off the wheel, he blocked me by getting his right forearm between my jaws. I bit down as hard as I could, wishing to break his bones and sever the limb. Worse, I felt the tingles of our first contact where violence had connected us. The iron of his blood mingled with the other scents around me." (This is a dark story, but not the stereotypical one where she falls in love with her captor. This is the story of escape from a toxic relationship and finding healthy love.) MATURE content including violence, dubious consent, intimacy, and mature and other possibility upsetting themes like threats of suicide and miscarriage. Not intended for the 18- crowd, sorry. #1 in Protective (10/23/21, 02/02/22) #1 in Pack (10/24/21)
The Mahani Wolves by AprilJester
69 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 the reality is cruel. In return for this help, the werewolves and humans hunt, torture, and kill the Mahani. 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? ------ *Sneak peek* I fought for control, as my wolf wouldn't let up. After a few minutes, my head hurt as bad as my heart. I slid down to my knees just as the most horrible pain hit me. My scream and my wolf's howl came out of my mouth simultaneously. I knew what was happening as I had lived through this nightmare already. He was losing his innocence without his consent. The tears streamed down my face as I yelled my anguish. My fellow pack members surrounded me, and someone was holding me as I sobbed my torment, but I don't know who. My wolf was no longer fighting for control, just releasing her own loud cries. I would never wish this on my worst enemy, and it was happening to my mate. Just as I thought I couldn't handle more, my heart skipped a beat, a pain I never wanted to feel again, as my entire body shut down. That monster just marked my mate. ----- 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.

"Fight me Alpha!" I had said angrily specifically calling him Alpha. "I will not fight a fragile thing such as yourself" The training ground fell silent.Not a single movement or sound was made. Every pair of eyes was fixed on us and I couldn't care less. "You think I am fragile? Well let me tell you something, you are the one who is fragile! You may come off as a heartless cold and vicious alpha wolf but you..." I jabbed my finger in his chest and continued. "...Alpha Nicolai Sharpe are one pathetic person" I saw anger flash in his eyes.Complete fury.His otherwise grey eyes morphed into a complete black. Oh boy, what had I just done? ************** When from a very young age Nicolai had been told to act a certain way and not show his emotions, he has no other choice than to obey. Disobeying would only warrant punishment. And boy had he received a lot of those in his lifetime. So what happens when he meets his mate? Would he be able to bare himself to her; letting her into his dark world? But most importantly,would she be able to stick around waiting for Nicolai to come to? Or maybe, his baggage would be too much for her to shoulder? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Most Impressive Rankings • #1 in Nicolai (30/11/2023) • #2 in Alphamate (18/11/2022) • #2 in Darkpast (14/09/2022) • #5 in Mate (21/08/2022) • #6 in Alpha (21/08/2022) • #6 in Abuse (21/08/2022) • #12 in Pack (06/10/2022) • #14 in Mate (26/10/2022) • #23 in Love (21/08/2022) • #29 in Luna (30/11/2023) • #17 in Curse (17/01/2024)

Re-posting. The common story is that finding a mate is supposed to make the wolf stronger. For an alpha, finding his mate, blessed by the moon goddess, strengthens the pack. But there can be such darkness hidden in that dynamic. Even those of cruel hearts can seek the power of a mate. And the damage they cause might not ever be healed. ***** Prologue: Drip. Drip. Drip. The rhythm or the water would have been soothing if it hadn't been so cruel. Drip. As it was, it was nothing more than a taunting form of torture. Drip. Ears could hear the soft thudding of raindrops at the end of the hall as a door was pulled open in squeaking protests and then shut with a harsh metallic clang. How the rain made its way into the depths of the cement room, it didn't matter. It was there. Drip. Step. Drip. Step. The footsteps were strong and full of purpose. Though just as unwanted as the drops of water that fell too far out of reach. Unable to quench the dehydrated desperation chained to the wall. Drip. Step. Drip. Step. Only one set of footsteps. There was no question of the destination or purpose that carried them down the hall. Not that it was a surprise. It was always the same. First the pain, then the visit. The cell door opened to darkness. There was no energy to move, not even enough to will eyelids to open. Not that it mattered. The visit never changed. What more could be said? What more could be done? All that mattered was that stale, barely edible food was only given after he was done. Only then, could there be any comfort from hell. ***** WARNING- This story does delve into topics of kidnapping, imprisonment, rape, murder, and violence. Though the scenes are not explicitly detailed, underage readers are discouraged. Also note that I do not own the rights to any photos I have or might post for this story.

34 parts Complete Mature

Adelaide meets her mate on the day she turns eighteen. However, she has a secret that no one knows about, not even her best friend. How long will she be able to keep this secret from her mate? And what will happen when he finds out? *** I never heard him make a sound, so his voice makes me jump as I hear him say "I can smell him on you" from right behind me. I turn around and dread fills me as I look into his dark eyes. They're glowing from the light from the fridge. I stumble over my thoughts but manage to squeak out "I thought you were out on a mission for your Alpha?" "I finished, and now I'm back." His eyes boring a hole through my head. "And I can tell that you've been slutting it up" he says with a look that makes me tremble. I start to shake my head, to try and persuade him that I haven't been doing anything wrong, but he forcefully grabs my jaw and stops me from shaking it. "You really shouldn't lie to me Adelaide, now I'm just going to have to teach you a lesson" he spits out at me. *** This isn't you typical story about werewolves, but I love the idea of mates, so follow these young adults on their journey with a supernatural twist.
