Running from his dark legacy, the werewolf hunter River must align with his enemy to protect himself from a vengeful pack and his own family; a low fantasy enemies to lovers story. 

River is a werewolf hunter, born into the esteemed, silver-lined legacy of the Ferreus Clan. It's not a life he wants and not a life he chooses for himself, and on the eve of his twenty-fifth birthday - on the cusp of an initiation ritual that will seal him into the coffin of his family's legacy forever - he runs. River stumbles upon the quiet town of Crescent Valley, a largely mundane, quaint place of old bookstores and pleasant cafés and peaceful nature walks. He also, through no fault of his own, stumbles onto a gruesome murder scene. Body torn apart, blood still warm, an odd symbol carved into the man's bare, scratched chest. He recognises the signs. Crescent Valley has a wild dog problem.

Thinking of his hard-won freedom and desperate for peace, River vows to himself- one last job. So he sets out on a mission to find the killer and put an end to them, if only so he can sleep without feeling the cool handle of a silver knife in his paranoid grip.

River soon becomes entangled in a feud between rival werewolf packs clawing for territory, and the alpha of the Crescent Moon pack, Rowan, is getting a little too close for comfort. 

In Crescent Valley, where monsters roam the streets, it is kill or be killed. Quite literally.

Hold Me Close (BxB) {COMPLETED}. ✔️ by ThanatosPatase23
25 parts Complete Mature
Octaveus was depressed. He knew it, but no one else did. He hid it, just as he hid his scars. He wasn't human either; he hid that too. He hid almost everything about himself from everyone, in order to minimize the ridicule. His mental state, his thoughts, his scars, even his questionable sexuality. But that only fed into his sadness. Drew was insecure. He didn't like standing up for himself in fear of saying something wrong. He didn't even change in the main locker room for PE, he went in the stalls. He was anxious. He wanted to know what was happening and when so that he can prepare for all possible outcomes of that event. And he was gay; his family knew and supported him, but no one else knew. He was too scared of how they would react to tell them. Jessie knew his brother would be teased. It was really a fact. Humanity wasn't too good at accepting of different beings. No matter how human Octaveus made himself look, he couldn't hide his unnaturally pale skin that no matter how hard he tried would not tan or his yellow cat eyes. He just had to try to fit in, same as the rest of their family. Seth was the school bad boy, and secret werewolf. His hobbies included pushing around the Freshman, flirting relentlessly with any and every attractive popular girl in sight, and trying not to think about Octaveus. He didn't want other people to find out about his thoughts on the emo new kid. So, naturally, he made Octaveus's school day a living hell. But he still couldn't figure out why this new kid intrigued him so much, besides that he was obviously not human. {BOOK 1 OF THE 'Scars I Hide' SERIES} *CAUTION: Mature for scenes of self-harm and suicide, PG-13 language, graphic violence, and some sexual topics* IF YOU READ THIS, DO NOT SKIP THE INTRO. IT CONTAINS THE TRIGGER WARNINGS. Sequel: 'Don't Let Go' (Out now) {Forgive me for the horrible stuff in the beginning} [All chapters have been edited.] Cover by @AMTA0206

84 parts Complete Mature
[BOOK 2] [COMPLETED] This is a continuation of the first novel, and it is recommended that you read Return of the Demon Sovereign: Udanfold [MxM] before starting this one. •••• In the aftermath of their tireless wars against the Devils in the depths of Undanfold, Erebus and Leo find themselves in the realm of Halrland. As they navigate this new terrain, their enemies draw ever closer, their relentless pursuit threatening to unravel the fragile peace they've fought so hard to obtain. Erebus, haunted by the memories of his past as the Demon Sovereign, is in a constant battle to keep his identity hidden. The revelation of his true self would not only endanger his life but also the lives of those who stand by him. His inner turmoil is further complicated by the presence of Jericho and Kore and their plots to destroy Shadowbane. However, they must also face the greatest threat to the realms: the Titans. Their awakening could engulf the realms in chaos and destruction. Erebus and Leo must find a way to thwart Jericho and Kore's schemes while preparing for the imminent threat of the Titans. In Halrland, alliances will be tested, secrets will be unveiled, and the battle for survival will reach new heights. Erebus must confront his past and embrace his destiny to protect those he loves and prevent the realms from descending into darkness. The path ahead is fraught with peril, but with Leo by his side, Erebus is determined to face whatever challenges lie in wait. Genre: Fantasy|Action|MxM Trigger Warning: This novel contains fighting, blood, death, gore, and torture. It also contains mature language and scenes. Although this will have romance, it will not be the primary focus of the novel. I love Erebus and Leo (don't get me wrong), but I may love vengeance a little more.

Blooded Mate by rhycce
134 parts Complete Mature
[[MATURE CONTENT]] Pack, family, mate. Loyalty, respect, honor. These are the words that form the foundation of the wolf society. At six years old, Ethan had to choose between his Alpha title and his survival on the night of his father's death. As a teenager, his family and lineage are further humiliated because he has not had his first transformation. Between dealing with a bully on a power trip, the challenges of high school, a less than sympathetic alpha, and his current impairment, Ethan is barely surviving. His daily prayer to Luna was simple: a request to find his wolf. But he would soon learn that the moon goddess does not do things by half-measures. On the night of his first transformation, she also tossed in a mate who wants absolutely nothing to do him and a vengeful alpha hell-bent on ripping his neck out. Soon he learns that high school bullies and homework are the least of his worries when he has to flee his pack and live with his mate: the warrior vampire whose entire history was forged from killing his kind. Learning to control his wolf, avoiding assassins, fighting his mate, and for his mate become daily struggles. But battles come in many forms and not always when or where he expects them. Soft, sensual victories within the sheets are as just as important as the hard-won, blood-filled ones on a gory forest floor. And failure on any battlefield could mean a slow, painful death. A/N -Warning This is a gay-themed novel with some fighting. So there will be intense scenes both in bed and out of it. If you are not a fan of boyxboy action, then this novel is not for you. PS.

"What I was going to say was selfish..." He mumbled. I edge closer to him until my hand slowly cradled his cheek. Tilting his head up to look at me. "Please let me know what it was." I beg him pathetically. He begins to chew his lip and that's when I knew he was nervous. Nervous about what? I'm not exactly sure. "With everything I said...I was going to say at the same time...never...leave me." He confessed painfully almost. That's when I lost all sense of control and pressed my lips onto his. Kissing him with all my strength and all the built up desire that's accumulated. I continued to kiss him until at some point my tongue made it's way into his mouth. Tasting a sweet flavor that I've never encountered. As I got deeper in the kissing I feel myself fly back into a tree. Slammed against it that I felt myself lose my breath. Trying to catch it, I look up at Achille. His eyes were now a crimson red that intrigued me. He shook his head and suddenly he was gone in a blur. Confused, I stood as I had to pop my back from the hard hit into the tree. Looking in the direction Achille ran off, I knew I couldn't see him because it'd be a blur. Always thought it was fascinating how when he runs you can't see it. Being a vampire must be...fascinating. Yet he makes it out to be hell. I can't understand that kind of complicity of being a vampire and the issues. I get it, they drink blood. Though there's multiple things beside humans that offer blood! He acts like it's so horrific. I would love to know what it felt like for a day. Just one day...
