FEAR WILL LEAD YOU HOME
=====
Eleven years after his sister's inexplicable death in the dripping moss-crowns of the Hoh Rain Forest, 27-year-old Felix Chance Jelani has walled himself behind science. As a forest pathologist and professor in a Californian university, his life revolves around dissecting bark lesions, calibrating soil pH levels, or logging chlorosis patterns...
Anything to stay tethered to empirical reality and far from the mud-stained ghosts of Forks.
But when a virulent fungal strain begins warping the tree canopy in the same stretch of Olympic wilderness where his sister was found dead, Felix is ordered to investigate the cause by his supervisor, citing both his doctoral credentials and his "personal connection" with the region. Despite his better judgment, he complies. Alongside him is Waltz, a sharp-nosed pine marten field biology research intern, and Soren, his jaguar co-lab partner.
Once back in Washington, Felix crosses paths with the people he thought he'd outgrown: Rafe the spotted hyena, a wildlife ranger with unknown personal reasons to protect the forest; Zane the wolverin, a former bruiser-turned-logger who ditched his street life after a close friend bled to death in his arms; and Slade the Husky, a local radio broadcaster who returned to Forks due to his deaf mother's Alzheimer's.
Together, the sextet begins mapping the spread. But the deeper they probe the trunk borings, mycelium networks, and altered animal behavior, the more the woods seem to resist. And when strange phenomena take root amongst the townsfolk, Felix and the others are forced to confront their deepest fears...
...before fear leads them home.

It changes them. She doesn't know what she's becoming. Only that it's something way stronger than what she was. And that killing things never felt this good. Murderbot meets The Cruel Prince-with a whole lot of psychological horror My entry for onc2025, based on prompt 125: I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.

Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. - Frank HerbertComplete![Species Unknown [Book 3: Canis]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/325221063-256-k296316.jpg)
Species Unknown [Book 3: Canis]
There's something lurking in the woods. Sent to investigate the rumors of human experimentation surrounding an esteemed genetics laboratory in the middle of the Northern California forest, Special Agent Anna Volkova quickly realizes that this new assignment has her in over her head. With women vanishing, and the townspeople deathly afraid of the woods blanketing the small town of Blackwater, she knows this area isn't nearly as innocent as it may seem. The forest is hiding something, and she'll do whatever it takes to find out what. What she doesn't realize, however, is how far some people will go to keep their sins, and everyone who knows about them, buried. ~*~ Sickening cracks of bone filled the once-silent room, accompanied by the rapid beat of my heart and his echoing cries of anguish. Without warning, his head snapped up, and I could finally see his face clearly. My breath caught in my throat. His once warm amber eyes faded, tainted with a blood red that slowly dominated his irises, painting a feral crimson gaze that was now focused entirely on me. ---------- A new chapter will be posted every Friday!

Packless
In the close-knit town of Wetherby Hollow, being packless is a red flag. Omegas without protection, Alphas without structure-it's not how things are done around here. But Micah Thorn, a stubborn Omega in his mid-20s, has no choice. After their parents died in a car accident five years ago, Micah stepped in to raise their three younger siblings-two of whom haven't presented yet. Since then, they've been working two jobs, dodging social services, and trying to stay off the town council's radar. When a newly presented Alpha teenager-Jesse Hale-is dropped off like unwanted baggage by his wealthy, neglectful parents, Micah is roped into fostering him "temporarily." Jesse is quiet, damaged, and angry- but not dangerous. Just lost. Then his older brother shows up. WARNINGS Mpreg, MXM love, very graphic gay sex, Childbirth via the anus (Also very graphic), Sex scenes, self harm(Not much), mentions of grape, PTSD, Hallucinations, bad language, discrimination, threat, major character death (Only like two characters, it's fine). I'll put warnings in the chapters where these occur, so if you can skip- although you might be a little lost because these tie into the plot. My characters views or actions do not reflect my own, this is purely fiction that does reflect real life situations (Except for the mpreg, unfortunately)so i try to be mindful and respectful. I also just write about these things because I find it interesting. That is it and that is all. Enjoy #1 in #smalltown
