Part of the Pack (Werewolf!Hetalia AU x Male!Human!Reader)
In some cases, you were told to always carry silver in case of the worse. In others, they told you to be a good little catholic and pray. What happens when you and 2 of your friends escape into the woods and encounter werewolves? Can you be a good little boy then? Warning: I'm Catholic and I'm bashing my religion because I can. Do not hate me because some of this is more historic as you read (like there is no automobile yet kind of historic). Yes, there will be some of that, if you are Catholic, sorry but this is to add effect to the story. Most of the Catholic side is from the Spanish Inquisition and centered around the radical belief of god rather than the practices. I gave this warning because I know it might sound wrong. If you don't like, you don't have to read. THANK YOU!Complete

Rerise
The second rise of the Roman empire has arrived. Emperor's reign again. The gladiator games are no doubt soon to follow. The cause: a tyranny driven parasitic virus moving in a slow crawl to overtake the human realm. Transmission: Sadism. The more you enjoy others' pain, the more susceptible you become. What's the prize to the torturous nine rounds of gladiator games? The cure. After all, what is more sadistic than a pipe dream? The games have only become more meticulous. It's no longer brute force and strategy alone that will keep you alive. Calliope is small, weak and so sick her brain is fogged 90% of the time. There is no way she is going to survive one round, let alone win the cure But if that truly is the case, why can the supposedly infected emperor not take his eyes off her?Complete![𝐆𝐀𝐌𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐒𝐔𝐑𝐕𝐈𝐕𝐀𝐋 [𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐫 𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐚]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/387504846-256-k700153.jpg)
