'I lie beside him, chest heaving and skin flushed with heat. The rite is complete--we're mates. The long-standing feud between our packs has come to an end. It doesn't matter that I despise his family name, or he mine. It doesn't matter that my heart belongs to another. At least, that's what I tell myself as I silently come apart.'

***

Porscha Maye's dreams of a love match are shattered when she's commanded to mate with the Alpha of a rival pack. Now, trapped in a cold, loveless union, her thoughts regularly drift to the boy she left behind, while the Alpha's jealous ex schemes against her at every turn. Escape--however risky--is tempting.

But the mate bond is a compelling force, and the more Porscha tries to resist it, the harder it pulls her in. Her only consolation is that the same seems to be true for her Alpha mate. Maybe, if she plays her cards right, she can break him before he breaks her--that is, if she can keep her heart out of the game.

Alpha descent: A Human's rise to power (MxM) by Kyrielle_woods_027
20 parts Ongoing Mature
(MxM) Wolf's blood, human body & Alpha soul. A Maelstrom merge that was left to be dealt by one person alone. Alexander Wolf, the born-human descendant of the greatest pack of his world, is the sole heir of the Alpha of the prestigious Prime Crescent Pack. His birth has always been a calamity, a distress. Every breath he takes reminds him of the misfortune he's caused to his parents, family, and pack. Although welcomed, he doubts their sincerity, as he lacks a wolf and the ability to shift like other werewolves. He's spent his life alone, hiding behind high walls and large doors whenever his parents tried to introduce him to the pack. But now, with his coming of age, he must step forward into alpha duties and serve his pack. Will he find himself ruling with grace, or will he run away like he always has? Will he give up his birthright due to the Moon Goddess's cruel twist of fate? As a human in a wolf pack, his life is far from fortunate, unlike his human mother, the Luna, who is protected by the powerful Alpha, his father. However, he can't escape the whispers within the pack: "Can a human really be our next Alpha? No way!" His life is already a mess, and the Awakening Ceremony, a significant milestone, has shaken him to his core. He doubts his ability to fulfill alpha duties and find a mate bond, especially without a wolf of his own. Will he find someone to accept him without being looked down upon? Can he satisfy his primal urges without being a werewolf himself? But he doubts whether he'll have a mate at all. Cover by @CuteFairyDust Started: 28/06/2024
Rejecting the Alpha by Vielle_
49 parts Complete Mature
Kylie survived the brutal destruction of her pack only to discover her cold alpha mate was the one responsible for the brutal slaughter of her family and pack mates. She can't forgive and she won't forget. Kylie cooperates with his demands while she searches for a way to free the remaining survivors and herself. Success teaches her just how complicated mate bonds can be and gives her the chance to choose her own fate. "Screw the mate bond. If I went for his throat while he was driving in human form, I might be able to kill him right now, and if I didn't succeed, the resulting accident might. I leapt for the front seat, powerful jaw ready to rip out his throat as he had ripped out my family's to take my revenge. Without even taking his left hand off the wheel, he blocked me by getting his right forearm between my jaws. I bit down as hard as I could, wishing to break his bones and sever the limb. Worse, I felt the tingles of our first contact where violence had connected us. The iron of his blood mingled with the other scents around me." (This is a dark story, but not the stereotypical one where she falls in love with her captor. This is the story of escape from a toxic relationship and finding healthy love.) MATURE content including violence, dubious consent, intimacy, and mature and other possibility upsetting themes like threats of suicide and miscarriage. Not intended for the 18- crowd, sorry. #1 in Protective (10/23/21, 02/02/22) #1 in Pack (10/24/21)
Mirajane by Zahrah_Danzaki
50 parts Complete Mature
An entanglement of betrayal, revenge, love, and supernatural war: Mirajane; the dusk princess and sole white wolf of the werewolf world. ...... When betrayal comes from the ones closest to you, it brings the most excruciating and heartbreaking pain. A family that was torn apart due to one person's selfish and twisted desires. A regicide that went unknown to the entire empire. A churning mess of questions and confusion that grew ever larger. The solemn quiet from the neighbouring empires. Constant threats and pain reaffirmed that the most unimaginable situation was indeed true. Unable to sit still and with a burning desire to reclaim their throne, the eldest princess of the eastern Camavanian empire, Mirajane II, was sent out to gather allies. And on her way to fulfill her task, she met him; her mate. The Alpha of the strongest individual pack in the empire --------------- Right before they disappeared, Mirajane took one last look at Cullen. Her eyes revealed her sentiments, a slight...reluctance even she wasn't aware was there. Deep inside, she wished it didn't have to come to this, he was after all once her dear uncle who spoiled her. But the moment she turned away, she left everything behind. Her sentiments, reluctance, and those memories. From then onwards, the two of them were walking different paths, they were irreconcilable. ********** This is entirely a work of fiction.

All she wants is to keep moving forward. But fate has other plans. When she unexpectedly meets her mate, the bond threatens to unravel the fragile life she's built. Forced to confront everything she tried to leave behind, Mira must finally face who she is and what she really wants. **updating every week**
