When he is picked to perform in the annual events, a game with 32 people where all but one are killed, he doesn't realise that an escape with his new friend Flure will help him discover his mythical past. Corin learns that not only is he the son of a mythical shape-shifter, that he himself inherited his fathers mythical genes, but what sort abilities does this mean Corin holds. When his own mother is kidnapped Corin is forced to track down the remaining mythics in the hope that they have some way of unleashing his new found talent, but just how far will he go, with not just his life hanging in the balance.

Ayn's Healing
Ayn is a witch with healing powers. Shapeshifters have killed her parents and the only animals she cannot speak with are wolves. When she graduates from the Teaching Clan and finds out that she has to cross the River and live in the Wolves' Mountains for one year, she is less than amused. Kari, first-born shapeshifter Alpha, almost lost his wolf after the death of his mate. He could rise again and become the pack leader if only he would complete his training ...and find another suitable Luna. When he realizes that his second chance is his mother's guest, a daydreaming stubborn witch from across the River, he is less than amused. The bond may be a strong force, but can a witch walk the Wolves' Way and face the dangers it is paved with? **** "I need to stop..." I sigh, catching her wrist before her fingers reach the back of my neck, and I untangle her arm from me. She lingers on the recliner but now there is a big gap between our bodies. The warmth she left on my skin is quickly dissipating in the spring night. "Fine." Ayn stands and searches my eyes. Her scowl has my wolf whimper in submission and makes me curse my self-imposed hard line. "I am going to need your hoodie," she orders, stretching her hand out to me. "What?" I exclaim, briefly shocked by both the tone and the content of her words. My hands however are already executing her command, unzipping my jacket. "The last time I was able to sleep, I was covered with your hoodie. Your scent is comforting." She states it plainly as if it would be an obvious and broadly known fact. Like the Earth being round. Like two being a prime number. #1 in Healer - December 2021 #7 in Lycan - December 2022 ~95 000 words Cover photo by Jr Korpa via Unsplash Cover photo by Marc-Olivier Jodoin via Unsplash hiComplete
Fusion: A Genetically Engineered Shifter Romance
Nicolette Dubois has a kill count any accomplished assassin would admire and supernatural powers that not even she fully understands. But one thing she does know? She's done being someone else's genetically engineered weapon. With the flames of the science lab where she was tortured raging behind her, she had only one choice: run. Sure, the list of those chasing her wasn't ideal: the government who funded her creation, the guy a mad scientist says can't be her mate, and said mad scientist. But she has a plan, and she knows if she sticks to it, she'll one day find a home for all the other lab experiments, the only family she's ever know. When she lands in a small town with secrets of its own, she meets a man who claims to be her mate, and as much as she hates to admit it, he may be right. But she knows better than most that the past eventually catches up to you - and rarely comes for you the way you expect. _________ Content warnings: strong language, references to rape (no description), references to physical abuse (brief descriptions), references to murder (brief descriptions) Copyright 2024 By Is The My Voice?Complete

Sentiments & Reason ✓ (Dogs, Bats & Monkeys series, Book II)
"Dad's gone," my cousin's voice was barely above a whisper. "You must come home for the Evaluations," she uttered and the phone line went dead. ***** After Keri's Uncle - the Alpha of the Silver Bullets pack - loses his battle with cancer, the young woman is summoned away from University and back home to take part in the Evaluations - a series of challenges that would help determine who would take on the role of the new leader. Once the responsibility of caring for over a hundred werewolves falls on Keri, she must stay with her pack in Woodville, relinquishing her lifelong dream of becoming a lawyer. The young female soon discovers that her new position is even more demanding that she'd always thought it would be, but she is determined to prove herself and justify the trust placed on her. Respected for her good judgment, physical abilities and compassion, the twenty-four year old lacks in one of the most important aspects an Alpha could: she has yet to choose a mate, or so the pack thinks. Little do they know, Keri has already recognized the man to bear that title, but deciding that his personality and lifestyle might prove detrimental to her wards, she gives up on another dream: the dream of being with someone she could confide in and always depend on. With an unknown enemy determined to ruin the Silver Bullets, never before had Keri needed that man as much as she does now. Things only get worse when he somewhat reluctantly offers his help; now Keri must fight not only the pack's foe, but also herself as she's forced to work with the person her heart desires but her mind does not approve of. ***** • Updates on Sundays • Proofread • Draft (basic edits done) • Best rating so far: #89 in Paranormal © 2018 Dilyana Kyoseva (CatMint5) All Rights ReservedComplete

Kyra Atcuian hides a secret from the world around her. Kyra has the ability to shift, and the form that she takes is that of a cheetah. Shifters as a whole are a dying species thanks to hunters. Those that turned on their magic and gifts and now hunt those like Kyra down. Not only are shifters rare, but cheetah shifters even more so. With hunters weeding them out, shifters seem to be becoming more animal than rational. So when her heat cycle hits not having a male around of her breed is fine by her. That way she won't end up mated to a complete asshole. Who would leave her pregnant and not help raise a child that would need to be hidden from the world. She hasn't seen another shifter in years, and it's safer to just fade away into the world of humans. However fate has a different plan for Kyra when she meets twin brothers Adrian and Andre.

THE WOLVES OF HOOD MOUNTAIN Book 1: Hunter - Part 1: Into the Woods
My name's Bianca Ashford. Young, pretty, big house in Cali, wealthy family, studying fashion, and the cherry on top, a boyfriend who's rich and hot. That's the glamorous side of the story. But it's just a front. Because in reality, the movie of my life is a lot less Instagram-worthy than the poster makes it seem. I can't get over my mom's death, my blended family is a total nightmare, and my dad's in the ICU. Wait, that's just the teaser! The trailer of my Christmas break gets a whole lot crazier with some added action. Ruined birthday and holidays, surprise snowstorm, car crash, assault, kidnapping, and being held hostage... Oh, wait-scratch that. I narrowly dodged that last one. Or did I? My so-called "rescuers" seem just as dangerous as my attacker. Strangely handsome and mysterious, they take me to a hideout in the mountains that looks straight out of a fairytale. But not the kind with happy endings, of course. No, more like the ones told to scare kids. Am I really out of the woods now, or is my story about to get way worse?Complete

Maddie Thompson's life just fell down a rabbit hole. Finding out she's a dragon shifter was one thing-she never quite fit into the human world, and this new reality feels...strangely right.

He'll just go through the motions and return home alone...until he sees Maddie. The human woman he reluctantly let walk away. Fallon already broke Maddie's heart once, but if he can't convince her that they're meant to be, she'll die... and he won't be far behind.Complete
Beneath the Dust and Moon

Every summer, he helps out at the Pine Peak rodeo just another Rodeo fan helping out to be part of the action. But this year, the Tennessee Riders arrive. Brad Mitchell is too calm, too knowing, and far too easy to want. And when he takes an interest in Aaron, something stirs that's deeper than attraction-something wild, sharp-edged, and buried under years of silence. One night changes everything. Aaron wakes up naked and alone in a cellar, the taste of dirt in his mouth and no memory of what happened. Upstairs, four men are waiting-and not all of them are human. Brad says Aaron isn't sick. He's shifting. Changing. Becoming. Now, with the Riders watching his every move and something ancient rising in his blood, Aaron has to face the truth: He's not just falling for Brad. He's falling into a world where instinct runs hotter than reason-and not everyone makes it out alive.Complete
