*Aren Calder must fight to become the Shadow queen of Kilrok, and she must give up everything - including her heart - to do so.*

Aren Calder is the alpha of her pack and the only child of the Shadow king of Kilrok. But the king is dying, and succession to the throne of Kilrok is no longer inherited. It must be fought for, won, and earned, and Aren wants nothing more than to be queen.

There are others who would take the throne from her, men like Cavan of Raenglen who have no honor and do not uphold the Shadow traditions, lawless men who would ruin the country that Aren desperately loves. She is a warrior, but Cavan is a powerful Shadow, a Lord and an alpha. She cannot fight him alone, and what's worse is that her father doesn't want her to be queen at all. He betrays her in his desperation, and invites a stranger to claim Aren as his mate, a stranger who usurps Aren's role as alpha of the Blackfield pack and jeopardizes her potential to become queen.

Daven Blackguard is a rogue Shadow, a prince of darkness, and an alpha male. Aren does not want his help, but he initiates a mate bond she cannot ignore and makes her an offer she cannot resist . . . if she earns his loyalty and gives him her heart, if she becomes his mate . . . he will make her his queen.

The wolf in her accepts the alpha in him, but Aren doesn't know if her heart ever will. Every battle she fights, she is slowly losing . . . against assassins, her father's failing health, the loyalty of her friends and packmates, and the darkness of being a Shadow.


*This is a story about an independent, defiant young woman who wants to choose her own love and her own destiny. It is a story about loyalty, love, and choice. It is a work in progress based on a story I have been writing since 2012, and I desperately need Beta readers. I am open to making changes, and Aren's story will be a short part that fits in with the story of two other women with interwoven timelines. They are Fire, and Aren is Shadow.*All Rights Reserved

Partially Rejected by tyughj80

Hello, this story is not good. It was written by a depressed young tween who didn't understand what an abusive relationship is. I'm only keeping it up because it's my only completed book. Take everything a grain of salt. (It's cringey) So good luck on fixing me and what we could've been But you'll always fail to see I'm forever broken I hate your guts, I hate his too I hate myself for loving you You're the only reason that I hate everyone -Falling in Reverse Alaska is sick of her life. She's sick of everyone. It all started in forth grade when she moved to Colorado. She was a different girl back then... Alaska was naive, had blonde hair, loved people, and was kind. Then she met Dillon he was gorges, tall, strong, and everything Alaska was not. Dillon was a werewolf and next in line for Alpha position of Black Blood Pack. Dillon hates his mate and waiting tell he is old enough to reject her. He dose what he can, ignores her, forgets her, because she is nothing but a pathetic human. Or so she thought... . . . "Get out of my head!" He yelled at me. I stood my ground, because I was here and was not leaving. "What's your problem with me?" I hissed. "Your weak, ugly, pathdic, little human, who I could kill so easily. Unfortunately for me I can't reject you yet!" I didn't know what reject meant I knew it was bad, by the way the silent room went quite. "Well I may be ugly, I may be pathdic, and you know what I'm a weak little human. I may not be able to kill you, you can make my life hell, go ahead, do it. You can hate me with every bone in your body. But if you think for a moment I care your wrong." That was the biggest lie I ever told. What happens when an alpha were wolf and element witch meet? What happens if she doesn't even know she's a witch?

Caught in the crossfire by shotikihoo

**Not edited.** A mere human, being adopted by wolves is but one of many unique surprises surrounding Kay. When suddenly a fierce Alpha appears, followed by people from her past, her entire world gets turned upside down. A battle is brewing and she has ties to all sides. Will she be forced to choose sides? Will she become the unifying factor? Or will she find herself caught in the crossfire? ----- Excerpts: "Are you crazy?! You can't be serious Kay! You're just one little human, you don't stand a chance!" "It's precisely because I'm just one lone human that I do. They'll underestimate me just as they've been doing this whole time, just as you're doing now, and that will be my greatest advantage...." --- ...he didn't want her. He had even tried to kill her! And seeing him for the first time after that brought forward emotions she hadn't even realized she felt... Why? Why was she never wanted by those who should have loved her most? --- "Perhaps you're just looking at it all wrong Lec. She doesn't have to be your weakness, let her be your strength." --- She shut out thoughts of doubt and fear. Collapsing onto her hands and knees, a stifled cry escaping her lips, she pushed through with everything she had! Bent on succeeding for the sake of her pack, no matter the cost... - Cover by @WinningStream

A Rogue's Redemption by KasaiTheQueen19

"You threw me to the rogues, but you never expected me to lead them. You thought they'd eat me, but instead they bow before me." She backs up, seeming to compose herself a little, and I'm still speechless. "Stupid Alpha, did you really think I'd wither away? Did you honestly expect me to just disappear like the rest of your problems?" She starts laughing darkly, making everyone else but Julian step back in fear. She closes her eyes, dropping her hands to her sides. "Stupid Alpha. I'm stronger than you ever were, and even more terrifying." Her eyes open, I gasp in shock at her now glowing red orbs...crimson with a frightening glow. "I'm Alpha of the Rogues, and your apologies mean nothing to me." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Scarlett Thomas was just a warrior wolf in her pack of Shadow Mist...that is, until she turned sixteen and found her mate in the Alpha. But instead of finding happiness and love, he practically rejects her and tosses her out of the pack like she was garbage. Now, three years later, she's stronger than ever. And the man who rejected her is coming back for forgiveness...and she has none for him. Ruling her own pack and holding her own, she shows him just how much he threw away...and will never get back.

Hybrid's Fury Unleashed by SapphirianJ82

JAREK She's an abomination-a constant thorn in my side. She has no right to be sheltered so closely by my mother and father, the alpha and luna of the Blood Moon Howler Pack. She is not of Alpha blood. Therefore she doesn't belong in this family or our pack. When I become alpha, I will toss her out with the trash. Silver will regret the day my mother found her; I'll ensure that. SILVER I was born partially shifted with my wolf ears and eyes that shift from blue to gold, then silver. My parents rejected me and left me to die at the border of The Blood Moon Howler Pack. Luna Celestia stumbled upon me and pitied the day-old baby who couldn't fend for herself. Jarek has made it his life mission to bully me any chance he gets. Lucky for me, our father, Alpha Maximilian, took me under his wing and taught me how to fight. I have become the fiercest warrior of the pack at only sixteen years old. Sadly due to Jarek and his minions Xillon and Zane, the future Beta and Gamma of the pack, I have been shunned by all of my peers. Will I ever be accepted by anyone in my life? Or will I constantly be rejected? One thing is for sure; once I turn eighteen, I'm leaving. I will make my way in life, even if it means being on my own for eternity. Writer's Note: Hybrid's Fury Unleashed has depictions of verbal bullying abuse. There are mature intimate scenes as well as mature language that are not suitable for readers under the age of 18. Mild gore and assault are also a factor as you get further into the book. With all of this being said; read at your own risk. I'll post trigger warnings as needed. Enjoy your reading and have a fantastic day. Also, please be a dear and don't plagiarize my work. Hybrid's Fury Unleashed is my first attempt at writing a paranormal shifter novel. Please be mindful of this as you proceed. If you notice areas where I can improve my style of writing in this genre please be kind in lending constructive criticism in a kind manner.

Way of the Wolf: Equilibrium by Scottish_writer

The Wulvers Series Book 6 #79 in magic #198 in paranormal "The path I choose will decide my fate; to follow tradition, or to break it." ~ Raeghan Ava Lyall As the female first born of an Alpha Pair like my mother before me, I knew it would be easy to settle for the same fate as her; to have my life choices come down to mating and becoming an Alpha Female, or never rising above the rank of Beta. I choose neither. Every day, I live to prove I should be heir and one day take my father's place as Alpha of the Western Pack in Scotland. Such ambitions challenge an age old tradition that make enemies of Wulvers who cling to their ancient ways. And most do, which means few dare to stand at my side. The lonely fight is tiring, and after so many years I'm left with an unsettling question: if the council and my father continue to refuse my claim, what do I have left? My cousin Fenna might provide a much needed chance at finding a sense of equilibrium within myself again. Her mate's pack live in deep the Scandinavian wilderness and their Alpha Pair promise they can mould me into a worthy heir for my pack. But going there means being near Ebbe, a male who grew up in fur more than skin and sees things so differently from me. A male who tempts me to break a rule I made. And if I do, it could destroy everything I've worked for.

To Feel Again [Welcome To Wolf's Peak] by M-T-Jones

Niko has been a member of The Alpha Guard since he was old enough to shift and fight for his rightful place.

Niko feels like fate has forgotten him and is ready to give up hope when he finally finds more than he ever thought he could. Adrian watched his mate die horrifically at the hands of hunters on the same night they massacred his entire family and most of his pack leaving only him and his brother alive. He almost allowed himself to turn rogue with grief but pulled himself back from that to care for his younger brother. He never thought he would be given another chance to find happiness and he finds it hard to believe that it's true, but when he's given a second surprise on top of the first how is he supposed to cope? Is Fate playing a trick on him or has he truly been blessed with two second chance mates? Owen loves his sister. He really does. She's just a lot of hard work to take care of. He knows nothing about being a guardian to a seventeen year old girl except that it entails a lot of headaches and arguments about dating the wrong kind of boy. His personal life has taken a nose dive since his one failed attempt at finding a boyfriend which left him feeling embarrassed and ashamed after one night of good sex. All he longs for is a man of his own who will love him and share everything with him. Is that too much to ask? Things don't go as planned for this mating with one shifter refusing what Fate has given him, a teenager with a score to settle and a one night stand that could all spell disaster for this trio.

Forged in Fire (Forgotten Series, #2) by AMLKoski

EDITED ~~~~ Book two of Forgotten series. ~~~~ Shey Lazera felt she was not destined to have a mate. She had been rejected so many times she almost enjoyed the fire, the burning that covered her body. Each wave of fire separating her and her wolf, each wave chipping away at her wolf's spirit until she was barely noticeable anymore, her power diminished. She was viewed as weak by the men she was mated to. With her wolf nearly invisible to those around her she was looked down upon as a muddie. A shifter whose wolf hides away from the world in the human side. So it comes as a surprise when she trespasses in a territory, fucks up an escape attempt, and gets dragged soaking wet in front of another Alpha, who refuses to reject her like she wants. ~~~ Luka Sterling had been forced into the Alpha position after an accident killed his two older brothers and his father. He had taken up the mantle to take it off of his fragile mother but he knew it did not belong to him. He was a weak Alpha that had needed constant training just to be ready in case anyone tried to take his position. He was a weak Alpha with no true Beta or mate. He had been rejected once and that had been enough for him to not try again. So he was more than surprised and more than irritated when members of his patrol drug a half drowned dark haired beauty with green eyes as cold as ice, into his office. He hadn't wanted a mate and his first thought was to reject her until she opened her rosy lips and demanded he do just that. Her demands sparks something in his wolf and rejecting her is now he last thing he wants and he demands her submission instead. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Shey helps Luka figure out just how much of and Alpha he was meant to be and Luka helps her learn just how much she deserves to be loved. And together they discover that strength isn't everything when it comes to being an Alpha.

"I am visiting under unusual circumstances. I won't bore you with the details but I have lost something of mine and I was hoping you could help me find it." " I'm sure I can help you find whatever you need." He was slightly confused. "But what exactly have you lost?" "My mate." Silence. "Does she know you are looking for her?" "Oh yes, she knows." Camila started choking on her food. She tried to maintain her spluttering so she wouldn't draw attention to herself. Taine noticed and decided to keep going. His eyes bored into her. "She actually decided to run from me... I don't know if she was a coward or just too weak and selfish to even consider giving me chance." She threw her cutlery down and stood up, leaning over the table. Her teeth were bared and a low growl emitted from the back of her throat. She felt hairs rising on her arms and neck. Usually even-tempered, she was now bubbling with rage. Taine didn't react well to her growl and mirrored her pose. He was trying to put her in her place, into submission. She was not having it. --- Destiny's collide, they crash and they scar. Rough seas, tidal waves, fighting for dominance in an ocean so deep... Despite the viscous ink of lies and deceit, secrets, sins one breath from leaving the lips. Love is the serenity that can calm all storms and transform all hardened hearts.
