Blessed By The Moon
Skye woke up in a strange town, her clothes drenched in blood and her mind void of memories. The eerie silence of the streets only amplified her panic. An older couple found her and took her in, offering shelter. At first, they seemed kind, but soon their kindness turned bitter, and their compassion twisted into cruelty. Unable to endure their accusations, Skye fled into the night, wandering aimlessly through desolate roads. One night, she witnessed something horrifying: two men transforming into monstrous wolves. Their glowing eyes locked onto hers. In that moment, Skye realized the terrible truth: no human was ever supposed to witness this. And those who did... never lived to tell the tale. Before she could flee, they seized her, dragging her into their world of ancient secrets, power struggles, and untold danger. Now trapped, she found herself caught in a deadly game, one where the players weren't fully human and the rules were impossible to understand.But there was something about her forgotten past that could shift the balance of power within the pack. Her search for the truth had only just begun, but it was clear that uncovering her past might cost her more than her freedom-it could cost her life.. or maybe, it could cost them theirs.Complete

The Painting
"It took me five seconds to fall. The impact on my chest jarring my body but not my mind. I suppose this is the point where your life is supposed to flash before your eyes as time itself freezes - and it did in a way. But I didn't relive my life physically like walking through an old memory, déjà vu in each step. It was a feeling, something that started in my chest and spread to my fingertips, one so unique to me that it encapsulated each significant event into one single second." For as long as May can remember one mystery has haunted her world. A dirty window before her, the grim obstructing her vision, she has lived with a loss she can't identify - that is until one rainy night. Gradually the spots of dirt May scratched at for so long wipe away with the touch of a finger. But when she looks in will she like what she sees - or will curiosity kill the cat?Complete
