When Shadows Speak ~ A Simon Riley Fanfiction (COD)
"Our scars don't define us. They are merely way points on our journey of survival. Markers, to show us all the hardships we've had to endure. Accepting them is the first step to appreciating how far we've actually come." *~~~* Second chances usually entail some sort of redemption - An opportunity to right ones wrongs... However, redemption is probably the last thing on Cora's mind as she emerges from the shadows with silent inevitability, the moolight glinting off the edge of her blade. Throat slit. Blood gushing, gurgled gasping, a wet thump as the body hits the ground. They never even saw her coming. Redemption... Bah! In about eight years, that word had never even crossed the young girl's mind. And why should it? In Cora's unwavering opinion, redemption was for the weak. "Ye pick a path and ye fuckin' stick to it!" At least, that's what she thought she believed. Until someone showed her otherwise...
Fractured Howls
(Warning: this book contains: brief conversations of Sexual harassment & assault (no deep detail), blood, mild gore, death, abuse (physical and mental) read at your own will, and if you're ready for action pack story from a new writer!) In a city where anthro animals fight for survival, love and loyalty can be deadlier than any weapon. Thyra, a hardened fighter haunted by betrayal, will risk everything to protect Anna-a young dog torn between obedience and freedom. When Anna is kidnapped by Lonos, the ferret who once controlled Thyra's life, the rescue sparks a violent chain of battles, secrets, and shifting loyalties. Together, Thyra and Anna must face their pasts and discover what love truly means-but every step forward only draws them deeper into danger. And when the dust settles, Anna is left with a choice that could shatter everything: Stay safe in the arms of Andria, who only loves her for her obedience... or risk it all with Thyra's pack, where love comes with blood, fire, and freedom. One choice. One bond. One story that changes everything. Cover artist by Pretend-Dot-3576
The Edge of Evermere
In a realm where dragons choose their mates through ritual and instinct, Annabella-a realist from a world of logic-never believed in magic, fate, or monsters. But after falling through a mysterious rift, she awakens in a wild, primal land filled with creatures who aren't quite human... and who seem to think she belongs to them. She's cold. She's starving. And then the gifts begin. Food. Shelter. Fire. And always, that scent-smoky, powerful, and maddeningly alluring. Survival comes first. Or so she tells herself. But with every brush of clawed fingertips and heated glance, the lines between survival and surrender begin to blur. These dragon shifters don't just want her-they've chosen her. And in their world, choice runs both ways. A slow-burn, emotionally rich, polyamorous romance about instincts, intimacy, and the bonds we never see coming.Complete
