NOTE: This is not the final draft, so expect there to be changes. I've only got the first arc of the story figured out so far and I'm still working out how to fit it all together. Disclaimer: the use in this story of concepts from other stories is in no way intended or designed to plagiarize. They are merely intended to resonate with those same concepts in a similar but alternate context.

  Garret Hood lives a quiet life on his father's farm in the Elvish land of Ereth Murna. But when a dark regime threatens his homeland, he will be called to a destiny greater than he ever imagined.

  Thalia Breton has always felt like she doesn't belong in the small village she calls home, though she cannot understand why. Apart from her best friend Dylan Mornfowl, her peers ostracize her. And though above all else she yearns to know who she really is, the truth may prove perilous...

Book #4 in the Bonds of Fate series. "You left me. For 2 years." Killian's voice shook with the force of his emotion. "You chose to leave me." "Leaving was the best thing I ever did. I won't apologise for it." "Now you expect me to give you another chance?" His voice was angry, but he knew in his heart that had already forgiven her. How could he pretend that he wasn't in purgatory the entire time that she was gone? Or that seeing her again, was the first time the world seemed right again? How could he pretend that he didn't love her when all he wanted was to take her in his arms and kiss her senseless? "Just give me a chance to explain, please Killian." Rachel pleaded; it was strange he had never seen her bend so easily to anyone. She was a wildfire that couldn't be tamed, so then why did she look like her flames had been quietened? "Give me one good reason that I should." "Our daughter." *** Rachel is trouble. After her father's death, trouble and misfortune seems to follow her like a dark cloud. The only thing keeping her from falling apart completely is music. Killian is traditional. Though suffocated by his parents, the commendable way they handled their roles as the previous Alpha and Luna has Killian always looking up to them. He wants to fill their shoes, only he feels as though he is crumbling under their pressure. When Killian finds the wild, free-spirited, hurricane in his Soulmate Rachel, he falls deeply for her. His parents on the other hand, do not. When his parents decide that Rachel is not the mate that they want for their son, they threaten to drive the couple apart. These two must challenge tradition, and family if they want their love to survive. But, sometimes you have to lose before you can love. "The greatest music comes from within..."

One day, Steve's mother sends him down to a nearby river to collect water. While at the river, he meets a kid his age named Rowan Griggs; he is the son of Robert Griggs, the rival of Steve's family. Steve immediately falls in love with Rowan, though he refuses to admit it. At the same time, Rowan has a special connection to not just Hope, but also another mystical being named Fear. Rowan's father uses this knowledge to manipulate Rowan into believing Rowan is destined to be evil. DISCLAIMER: this book contains Graphic Violence, abuse, mild blood/gore, alcohol usage, cursing, dark themes, mention of suicide, and the destruction of a historical landmark. Commentary and criticism is welcome, as I intend to make this story as amazing as I possibly can. Also soon to be available on Royal Road
Love Me Not (ONC) by CarmenJohnson599
16 parts Complete Mature
By a chance encounter, Lucien meets his true love, his fated. In his world, vampires and humans reside together mostly without conflict. There is a mutual understanding. Vampires need blood and humans supply it willingly in trade. Throw into the mix, Jocelyn, a sweet-smelling girl with a personality and attitude that blazes just as red as her hair. Jocelyn is visiting from a land unsettled, as of yet, by vampires where humans are still the hunters. She has only ever known disdain for Lucien's kind. Can Lucien change Jocelyn's mind before time runs out? Excerpt..... I stood up, leaned across the table, on my palms, smiled cooly, and said, "I'm not allowed to call you dinner." Her eyes widened, and she dropped her glass. The glass clanked against her dinner plate and crumbled. She immediately looked down at it and frantically started picking up the pieces. "Leave it for a servant," I sniped at her. Reginald, our head waiter, promptly appeared at her side and started picking up shards. Our servants were specially trained on how to clean up messes without having bloody accidents. She looked up at me with a renewed sense of hostility. "I will do it myself!" Reginald didn't move. He is trained to insist. "Please, Miss?" he asked quietly. He took hold of the piece of glass in her hand and pulled. She squeaked in pain and held her hand up in front of her face. It was in plain view so that everyone could see. Her finger had been sliced open. The sweet smell got so strong that it was almost irresistible. Prompt number: 11. Vampires are bound by an ancient destiny: their soulmate is always human, and this bond is governed by three rules. The smell of their soulmate's blood is irresistible, its taste is sweeter than anything else, and if the love is unrequited, it can be fatal. Fearing this inevitable bond, most vampires try to avoid it. But what happens when one of them discovers that their soulmate is a human who not only rejects them but loathes them?
The Belorian Chronicles by ProabisHD
3 parts Ongoing Mature
The Land of Beloria A land brimming with magic and natural beauty, Belloria is home to humans, dwarves, elves, beastmen, and countless mythical creatures. Yet beneath its enchantment, the realm is fractured-its people divided. The elves rule the western lands, their mastery of magic unmatched. Separated from the rest of Beloria by the massive Vyrath Divide, a river so wide and powerful it acts as a natural barrier, the elves have grown distant-and arrogant. Humans, once thriving across Beloria, have been hunted nearly to extinction. Now, they survive in the frozen, inhospitable North, in a small nation called Frosthelm. The brutal climate forces them to rely on ingenuity and sheer will. Though scorned by the other races, humanity remains resourceful-and dreams still stir of reclaiming their place in the world. To the East, dwarves and beastmen have forged a formidable alliance. The dwarves, masters of craftsmanship, labor in vast underground forges, building advanced technology and weaponry. The beastmen, fierce and physically dominant, lend raw strength to their cause. Together, they pose a rising challenge to the elven rule-but tensions within their alliance threaten to tear it apart. The southern lands are shrouded in unnatural darkness, feared by all. Magic there is dying-drained from the land itself-leaving behind dead forests, cracked earth, and cursed wastelands. The air carries an ancient evil, its corruption spreading like a sickness across Beloria. Whispers of this growing darkness haunt the edges of every border, foretelling a coming doom.

**COMPLETED*** This is book 2 and can be read as a standalone but I recommend you read "Fated" first. Something caught my eye and when I looked up in the mirror I saw Rykan stepping inside, shutting the door and sliding the lock in place. My heart hammered in my chest as he approached me. He came right up behind me, setting his hands on my hips, never breaking our gaze through the mirror. "Kora," he murmured, stepping closer until my back brushed against his chest. His hand slid down to the end of my skirt and he flattened his palm against my bare leg, sliding his hand up my skirt. "I'm married," I blurted, swallowing hard and trying to ignore how much I liked the way it felt having his hands on me. "Hm," he grunted, narrowing his eyes as he continued his ascension up my outer thigh. His touch sent tingles all over my body, sending heat right between my legs. He gripped my leg and suddenly turned me, his hand now palming my ass as he pulled me against him, his teeth scraping against my neck as his other hand up to my neck. "Didn't seem to bother you when you had me down your throat last night," he said, wrapping his hand around my throat and lifting his head to give me one of those heart-stopping stares. "In fact, I believe you started that, angel." Koralie always felt that there was a part of herself missing. A part she hadn't yet discovered. Stuck in a toxic marriage, she's navigating her way out of it when she meets Rykan, a mysterious stranger she feels an undeniable draw towards although she isn't sure why. Things become even more intense when he starts showing up in her dreams, claiming he is a werewolf and they are mates. An even more unexpected turn of events comes when Kora starts looking into the supernatural world and finds it is not as foreign to her as it should be. Warning: This story contains very mature themes including brief mentions of abuse, mature language, mental health and sexual content.
