Eternal Metamorphosis by BurbanoR

Earth has been transformed into an unpredictable nightmare by an alien force, its landscapes constantly shifting in time. Forests become oceans, mountains dissolve into endless plains, and creatures born of chaos emerge in every corner of this broken world. But the greatest threat comes at night. Shadowy predators that hunt in the darkness, vanishing only when struck by light. In the midst of this chaos, a 20 year old woman struggles to protect the only family she has left: her 10 year old brother. Together, they navigate a world that reshapes itself without warning, battling both the horrors around them and the haunting question of what caused this catastrophe. Driven by love and relentless determination, she fights to keep him safe. Even as the darkness closes in. Elyra "This world tears everything apart. The skies, the earth, the things we love, everything is devoured by this merciless transformation. Forests turn into oceans, deserts into dense jungles, and what was once home yesterday is nothing but a shadow today. In this world, constantly dragging us into the abyss, I have only one purpose: to protect my little brother. He can't see how often I cry at night, how often the fear eats away at me. The shadows are the worst. They come from the darkness, they hunt, they consume. I've seen things I'll never be able to forget. But as long as I'm breathing, I'll keep fighting. For him. For us. This world wants to tear us apart, but it will never succeed. Not as long as I'm here."

Bound By Survival by guess_who01117

The world is no longer hers. After an apocalypse turned Earth into a living nightmare-where animals hunt for sport and plants consume the unsuspecting-Natalie has lost everything. Betrayed by those she trusted and left to die, survival is her only goal. Until an old man offers her a way out. A new world. A breeding program. A chance at safety. But safety comes at a price. Transported to an alien planet on the brink of extinction, Natalie is paired with a powerful warrior of a species that doesn't understand human customs-especially not when it comes to breeding. Their kind is rough, dominant, and built for survival, but her new mate is fascinated by her in ways neither of them expect. Yet trust doesn't come easy. Not when danger lurks beyond the walls of their new home, when rival males and jealous females threaten to tear them apart. And when the biggest threat of all-the truth behind the virus that wiped out their women-is still waiting to be uncovered. She was brought here to save a dying race. But will she survive long enough to do it?

The odds are against her, until she runs into Parker and finds herself reluctantly accepting his offer to help. Trust is a fragile thing. Humanity is a construct. Love is a weakness.
