The town of Ark Creek is your classic, run of the mill forest town. Small amount of citizens, clumps of forests separating buildings with only gravelled paths linking them, a few stores. It's all Wisteria knows, having been born and lived her 16 years of life there. It's beautiful, yes, but gets boring on rainy days where the water hits the trees around her house. Her dad is at work all day, and all her friends are either not allowed to go out in the rain or on holiday. It IS the summer holidays (well, summer. It rains too much for Wisteria to be happy), and they're all going to fancy resorts, the beach, or the mountains. Netflix isn't enough to keep her occupied, and her mind can't be bothered to work on another painting in the old greenhouse attached to the house she turned into her studio.
Who would've thought a piece of paper would be enough to change her life? Not her, that's for sure.

12 Steps to Not Fall in Love on Wattpad
Nini has always dreamed of a life straight out of a romance book. Except her teenage years were filled with anxious thoughts about crushes who seemed to be more interested in getting in her friends' pants than talking to her, growing insecurities regarding her appearance, and date after date where the guys would always find an excuse to never text back. Then came adulthood, when Nini realized whenever she was in the room, love seemed to run the opposite way. So she accepted it wasn't for her and made a promise to forget everything about fairytales and focus solely on getting her shit together after a bad start to her adult life. If you were to ask, she'd say she was doing a pretty good job. Until the day a newfound attraction towards women sparks, and Nini decides to check out some stories on an online book platform she used to be addicted as a teenager. There, she makes the huge mistake of reading the comments section where, under a really funny line, she finds a girl way too interesting to ignore.

She can't afford to have her heart broken again. Therefore, she must find a way to keep it safe.

A nice monster, but no less dangerous. She thinks the same of her own friends, so close they're nearly family. She didn't ask for this life, it was forced upon her one frigid winter evening.

Daughter of Luka (LGBT+)
In a world of those who have human and wolf blood, Ophelia is the daughter of a wolf hunter. There's just one thing that might cause trouble for that and that is Ophelia's growing relationship with a pack of wolves that live in the forest behind her house. Ophelia thought her life was going to be simple. Well, as simple as life could get when she just happened to be failing her job, her relationship and (the absolute bane of it all) mathematics. But oh, no, something far more deadly and sinister awaits Ophelia in the forest behind her home. Will she be able to discover how to save her new friends before something takes them from her forever? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Werewolves in England? Yeah, apparently stranger things did happen. Much, much stranger than I had ever thought of before, but strange nonetheless. At first, I thought I had simply been imagining it. As soon as I got into bed and stared up at my ceiling, I pinched myself just to establish that I wasn't, in fact, dreaming. I wasn't dreaming. Thus, I had to accept what I had seen in the forest as the cold, hard, truth- make that the warm, fuzzy, truth. Werewolves were real. It was either that, or I was completely losing it.Complete
