But their bliss is short-lived when a violent encounter with a hostile neighbor changes everything. The man, known for his erratic behavior, brutally assaults Benny one day during a walk, leaving Rachel heartbroken and desperate. Despite her efforts, the legal system delivers only a slap on the wrist for the man responsible, and Rachel is left grappling with anger, guilt, and a thirst for justice. As her grief festers, Rachel's pain turns into a dark obsession. No longer content with the law's ruling, she embarks on a dangerous path of revenge, determined to make Benny's attacker suffer. But as her plans spiral out of control, Rachel must confront the monster she's becoming-and the price she's willing to pay for her beloved dog's justice.

Letting Go [complete - expanding chapters during rewrite] by KarenBarkley

My name is Chloe. I live in a world where your land of heritage determines what kind of Wereanimal you'll be, and a mate can be anyone of them. The children of two different animals may be able to change into both, a huge advantage. There are also purists who think that a blood line of only one kind of animal will have stronger children, but ignoring your mate can have mental health consequences. I dream of having my own family someday, but I'm rejected. When the opportunity comes to marry my mate's twin brother I grab on with both hands in spite of not knowing anything about him. How bad can it be? Chapters are short because I posted everyday, and each chapter represents a days work. A/N in the first draft the numbers in the chapter headings were spelled out. During the expansion the chapter numbers will be digits. That way you should be able to see how far I've come.

Spirit of the Wild by QueenTrollex

In a world where humans live alongside mystical beings known as Therians-humans with the ability to transform into animals-an uneasy peace has reigned for centuries. The Therians, divided by their animal clans, live in secret, hidden from the human world to avoid persecution. However, as a new generation of Therians begins to emerge with powers far surpassing their predecessors, tensions rise. These young Therians, struggling to control their abilities, inadvertently expose their existence to the human world, sparking fear and distrust among the human population. The story follows a group of these young Therians as they navigate their newfound powers, the growing hostility from humans, and the age-old rivalries between the animal clans. At the heart of the story is a young Therian named Kael, who discovers that he is not only a powerful shapeshifter but also the prophesied unifier of the clans. With his ability to transform into any animal, Kael is seen as both a threat and a beacon of hope by the different clans. As he struggles to master his abilities, Kael finds himself caught between his loyalty to his fellow Therians and the growing pressure from humans who seek to control or destroy them. Alongside him are a diverse group of friends, each from a different clan, who must put aside their differences to survive in a world that increasingly sees them as enemies. As tensions escalate, Kael and his friends embark on a perilous journey to find the legendary Sanctuary, a place said to be a safe haven for all Therians. Along the way, they face dangerous foes, both human and Therian, who seek to stop them. Kael must learn to embrace his destiny and unite the clans before a war erupts that could destroy both the human and Therian worlds. The story explores themes of identity, unity, and the struggle for peace in a world divided by fear and prejudice.
