Highlanders myths, and the songs by the people of Scotland and Ireland that they sing in Gaelic have inspired these short stories. 

I always use selkies as a way of speaking my truth. Selkies are humanoid creatures who can shapeshift between human and seal form, but they can only do this when their heart is ready and in some cases when they fall in love with a human.

Silkie by JeffRains

Kenna Gale is a beautiful seal maiden (Silkie or Selkie) who lives on the coastline of the Scottish lowlands near the border of Scotland and England. To create another creature like herself, Kenna must make love to a mortal man, then drown a female mortal soul, so that her soul could be reborn inside of Kenna's child. Otherwise, Kenna's child will be a mortal seal pup. This story is shorter than many of my stories, but I think the quality is better.

The Souls of Drowned People by ElleSvensson

Moira knows there has to be a reason why she was forced to leave Ireland after her father's drowning, and the secrets her mother keeps aren't calming her curiosity and desire to learn the truth. Her only link to the past is her best friend, Cillian, and even he has grown quiet as Moira's eighteenth birthday approaches. But when Cillian finally agrees to take her back to Ireland, and Moira sees the fierce waves and the seals that watch her from the rocks, the stories hidden from her suddenly begin to make sense. Her family has been feuding with the selkies, the seal people that surround the village, for years, causing the numerous drownings that lead her mother to fear the water so much. Moira can end the issue - she's supposed to marry a selkie prince once she's eighteen, forever tying her people with the seals. Moira has only just discovered the life hidden from her, and going to live with the seals would mean giving up the life she's always wanted to live. She doesn't want to give herself up to the sea. It will have to come for her.

The Alpha's Sierra by zero_gravity500

"I'm going to erase and replace that man-every man-from your mind," Alexander's grip on me tightens. A snarl escaping his lips to remind me exactly what he is. "By the time we're through, I'll be so deeply embedded in you, you'll ask yourself whether you truly had real pleasure before me." I can't even help my gasp, "Oh my God." "This is where Hell freezes over, Sierra." There's a light click. "There is no God here." *** Cold. That's the only way to describe the Sierra Pack. A Pack known for its ruthlessness and brutality. But when you live so high in the snowcapped mountains, only the strongest survive. The only thing icier than their glaciers is their blood lusting Alpha-Alexander. Hot. Sierra came into her powers at an older age than any other Witch or Warlock. Her ability to manipulate fire has always been seen as destructive and chaotic. But Sierra has always found the beauty in the most feared. With secrets, customs, and traditions in the Sierra, can fire and ice learn to dance with one another? Or will the mountains prove to be too cold for even the hottest of flames? *** Works as stand alone The Wolves of Imperium Book #4 (Sequel to Rebelling the Alpha King) 18+ themes of violence and sex. You'll get a warning ;) #1 in Alpha 9/13/2023

Silver Jungle by TheJadeWarrior

Dani Linds has always felt like he's missing. It's always been attributed to the fact he was found at age six, without any memory of where he came from. Eleven years later, when the tour guide from the school trip to Mexico matches exactly to the women in his dreams, Dani learns that his life in Arizona is never going to be the same. _____________________________________________________ The cover is by my most wonderful friend and basically sister, I.J (@fizzy_apples)! We often write together, so check her out as well!

Selkie by SelvaTheQueen

Shara's mother has always told her to hide from humans, to never let them know that she is a selkie--a seal who becomes human when they remove their skin. She obeyed, even when her mother was taken away and left her alone. Now, she has no choice.

Star Blessed by heater0387

[COMPLETE] A child with ties to the seas and the sky, Meribella has never been able to find a place to belong. Driven by the stories of her selkie ancestor Kai, she hunts for the skin that was stolen from her, believing if she can find it, she can return to the sea and find a home. But she's beginning to fear that what she's looking for doesn't truly exist. Raff Wellington is the Alpha of the Orion clan. When he is forced to take a wife to produce an heir, he does so knowing it will be a death sentence to whichever woman he chooses. But knowing and experiencing are two different things, and when she dies after giving birth to a stillborn son, he decrees that no wolf may take a mate. The werewolf curse must end. When the two collide, everything they know about their pasts, about the legends they were born from, is destroyed. And they'll have to learn to trust one another, to achieve what they desire most.
