Moon Bound/Blood Bound Duology by AlaraBirch

Part 1/Book One currently not available and in the professional editing stage. Part 2 UPDATED WEEKLY for current readers He finally released my legs, allowing me to slide down his body until my feet hit the floor, but that was as far as he let me go. Heat was radiating off him, scorching me all the way down my spine as he held me tightly against him. His quick breaths were falling on the back of my neck with a tingling warmth that brought goosebumps to the surface of my skin. Placing one large hand on my shoulder, he wrapped my long brown hair around his other. Gently, he tugged on my dark mane, pulling my head to the side and exposing the tender column of my neck. Bringing his nose down to the crook there, he inhaled deeply, a rumbling "mmmm" escaping his lips. My mouth went dry. "Are-" I swallowed. "Are you going to mark me?" I manage in a stuttered whisper. Book Blurb: Dr. Willa Grey has developed a little bit of a performance problem... Willa has a plan for how she wants to spend her life. She even fought for a rare opportunity to attend human medical school. Unfortunately for Willa, the time among humans denying her wolf instincts has had dire consequences that could ultimately mean her life.

Just as she fears she could possibly lose her pack, and everything she has worked for, a chance encounter with a mysterious wolf on the night of the full moon ignites her mate bond and stirs her dormant wolf. Who is her mystery mate, and will he be her liberator or persecutor? Content Advisory: recommended 18+ due to strong language and sexual content Copyright 2024 Alara Birch, all rights reserved.

Mostly Ghostly | Isaac Lahey ¹✓ by stilestastic

"Sorry, Lahey, but I'm more of a cat person." Vera Pérez is no stranger to the supernatural. Growing up alongside the Hale family has kept her fairly well-informed about the creatures that lurk in the darkness. However, she didn't become one of those nighttime horrors until the end of her sophomore year- Derek had no choice but to turn her so she wouldn't die from her wounds after a kanima attack. The thing is, she didn't gain his fangs and claws. They say that the bite turns you into the shape of your character. Vera still isn't sure what to make of becoming some sort of glorified ghost. But with a pack of Alphas knocking on Derek's door and people disappearing left and right only to show up dead days later, she barely has time to think about anything else. It wouldn't be so terrible if it weren't for four specific facts: 1. The Alpha leader killed her father and may or may not be coming to finish her off. 2. Nobody seems to be safe from the mass murders in the town. 3. She has to spend more time than usual with Isaac Lahey, with whom she shares a mutual disliking. 4. Isaac pushes her buttons, but soon she starts to realize that she likes it. ©𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤 2019 𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐨𝐥𝐟 | 𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝟑 𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐚𝐜 𝐥𝐚𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐱 𝐨𝐜 𝐚𝐧 𝐔𝐍𝐂𝐇𝐎𝐒𝐄𝐍 𝐎𝐍𝐄𝐒 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤 WINNER OF 2024 ARMAGEDDON FANFIC AWARDS FOR "BEST ISAAC LAHEY FANFIC"

Only a person can help Liryl shedding light on this mystery - a former novice of Eris, who now lives in the far away city of Fys Espyr. Albeit reluctantly, the young girl thus embarks on a journey, together with her lifelong friend Sanya, in order to uncover the meaning of these visions. However, as the journey brings her deeper into the land of Espyria, Liryl slowly awakens to a much harsher reality than what she witnessed in her dreams.

Rosin by _Tiny_Stories_

Ernwood Forest is home to winged people no bigger than a person's hand. Hidden away from the eyes of all humans, they live within the woodlands in three secrete tribes. Things can be tough in a world so much bigger than you, but the tribes are strong and protect the tiny people against all dangers. Even humans. Three tribes. Only three. That is the truth everyone knows. Until Rosin discovers that what she grew up believing doesn't even scratch the surface of what's out there in the forest. --- Rosin Magnolia hates people. The safe refuge everyone around her calls 'home' feels like a prison to her- so when she learns that there are other tribes somewhere in the forest, the decision to leave is hardly a choice. She makes it her mission to search the woodlands and bring the lost tribes together. But to do that, she'll have to leave her own tribe behind... which means leaving the people she loves most in the world. The forest is rife with predators. Beasts like humans; towering beasts that prowl through the trees without care or concern for the life they might trample. Leaving might just turn out to be a suicide mission. But Rosin soon begins to wonder who is in more danger- the tribes she is looking for, or the one she left behind... --- ⚠️ Mild fear/ violence warning (things get just a lil intense at parts) 💃 Ongoing story, I'll update whenever life lets me 💀 ❤️ To anyone who has read the other two stories set in this little world, this story includes a lot of information that was left out in the main storyline, mostly about Rosin (obviously lol) Wren and Aspen Hope you enjoy 💕💕 Please comment/vote/ let me know your thoughts!!!

Haunted by JuliaCoffin

The dead typically want one of two things. Ghosts crave conversation. Spirits seek pain. My name is Bria, and I've been able to interact with the dead for as long as I can remember. Communicating with the deceased might sound like a cool gift, but let me assure you, it's not. Ghosts don't shut up, and not all specters are friendly. In fact, most of them are dangerous. Pretending the paranormal doesn't exist is far easier than talking to the shadows, so I've been avoiding the dead for years. Past experiences have led me to avoid the living too. And for a long time, I've successfully kept my distance. Until a single ghost encounter in the library ruins everything. Now a couple of my classmates know my secret. But as it turns out, they have a deadly secret of their own. Time to talk to the shadows again. _______________ This story contains profanity and violence. [ONC 2021 Shortlister]

Silver Bound Girl by LaurenDMSmith

Willow's a Byron and they aren't just your average family. Not just because there are so many of them, but because they have secrets and traditions far outside the norm. Like spending as much time outside as in, and doing everything to keep rumours about any of them from surfacing. But when Willow meets the transfer student, Rune, she finds a kindred spirit. He's just as cynical and just as alone as she is and it isn't long before they become friends. The only problem is that Rune's a rumour magnet and wannabe reporter. With a family curse that's getting harder to hide by the day, Willow finds herself caught between family and friendship.
