They just wanted a break , a little escape into the hills . Four friends,one trail . A trip they'd never forget.
But , when the sun dipped and the winds changed , something awakened.
Strange sounds , vanishing shadows . A trail that seemed to shift every hour .
As the night falls the forest starts to play its own games .
Some trails promise adventure
Some trails whisper warnings
And some trails never return .

For their last adventure before college pulls them apart, five friends hike deep into the Appalachians-into a stretch of backcountry locals avoid and maps refuse to name. There they find the entrance to Hymnfall Drift, a boarded-up mining tunnel rumored to have ended in a tragedy no one will talk about. Inside, something is wrong. The air tastes metallic. Their lights behave strangely. And somewhere in the dark, a low, impossible song rises from the stone... a sound that feels alive. Cut off from daylight and running out of flares, the group begins to sense they're not alone underground. Something listens. Something moves. And whatever haunts Hymnfall Drift doesn't want them to escape-only to join the song. As fear blooms and the shadows grow crowded, the friends must decide how far they'll go to protect each other... and how much of themselves they're willing to risk before the darkness decides for them. In Hymnfall Drift, light can save you-until it betrays you. And the song never stops.Complete

Shattered (Complete) #Wattys2019
Re-posting. The common story is that finding a mate is supposed to make the wolf stronger. For an alpha, finding his mate, blessed by the moon goddess, strengthens the pack. But there can be such darkness hidden in that dynamic. Even those of cruel hearts can seek the power of a mate. And the damage they cause might not ever be healed. ***** Prologue: Drip. Drip. Drip. The rhythm or the water would have been soothing if it hadn't been so cruel. Drip. As it was, it was nothing more than a taunting form of torture. Drip. Ears could hear the soft thudding of raindrops at the end of the hall as a door was pulled open in squeaking protests and then shut with a harsh metallic clang. How the rain made its way into the depths of the cement room, it didn't matter. It was there. Drip. Step. Drip. Step. The footsteps were strong and full of purpose. Though just as unwanted as the drops of water that fell too far out of reach. Unable to quench the dehydrated desperation chained to the wall. Drip. Step. Drip. Step. Only one set of footsteps. There was no question of the destination or purpose that carried them down the hall. Not that it was a surprise. It was always the same. First the pain, then the visit. The cell door opened to darkness. There was no energy to move, not even enough to will eyelids to open. Not that it mattered. The visit never changed. What more could be said? What more could be done? All that mattered was that stale, barely edible food was only given after he was done. Only then, could there be any comfort from hell. ***** WARNING- This story does delve into topics of kidnapping, imprisonment, rape, murder, and violence.

Ayn's Healing
Ayn is a witch with healing powers. Shapeshifters have killed her parents and the only animals she cannot speak with are wolves. When she graduates from the Teaching Clan and finds out that she has to cross the River and live in the Wolves' Mountains for one year, she is less than amused. Kari, first-born shapeshifter Alpha, almost lost his wolf after the death of his mate. He could rise again and become the pack leader if only he would complete his training ...and find another suitable Luna. When he realizes that his second chance is his mother's guest, a daydreaming stubborn witch from across the River, he is less than amused. The bond may be a strong force, but can a witch walk the Wolves' Way and face the dangers it is paved with? **** "I need to stop..." I sigh, catching her wrist before her fingers reach the back of my neck, and I untangle her arm from me. She lingers on the recliner but now there is a big gap between our bodies. The warmth she left on my skin is quickly dissipating in the spring night. "Fine." Ayn stands and searches my eyes. Her scowl has my wolf whimper in submission and makes me curse my self-imposed hard line. "I am going to need your hoodie," she orders, stretching her hand out to me. "What?" I exclaim, briefly shocked by both the tone and the content of her words. My hands however are already executing her command, unzipping my jacket. "The last time I was able to sleep, I was covered with your hoodie. Your scent is comforting." She states it plainly as if it would be an obvious and broadly known fact. Like the Earth being round. Like two being a prime number. #1 in Healer - December 2021 #7 in Lycan - December 2022 ~95 000 words Cover photo by Jr Korpa via Unsplash Cover photo by Marc-Olivier Jodoin via Unsplash hiComplete
Stillness isn't empty
On a seemingly ordinary school trip, a group of high school students is thrust into a series of inexplicable and eerie events that force them to confront death... Unless of course, they can work together to defy their fate. *** Ciel point of view*** I agreed to go on a two days long school trip and then come back home. It was supposed to ease off my mind, reduce my stress and improve my mood and wellbeing. But this school trip was different. The forest had been watching over us and scheming our demise. Soon, we were trapped inside of it, like bugs caught in a giant spider web with no other fate than to wait for our death. Or so, it seemed.
Verge of Insanity
My dream continued the one I'd been having for the past couple of nights. I ran, gasping for breath, through the familiar woods from a dark figure behind me. The faster I tried to run, the slower I seemed to go, until it was like I was running in place. I knew I needed to run. I was terrified of what the figure would do when he caught me. "Mara Leigh," a deep, smooth voice called. It was almost hypnotic. That was new. The figure had never spoke before now. I ran as fast as I could go, eyes searching the forest floor for a big stick or something that I could use to defend myself. "Mara Leigh!" the voice came again, this time more insistent. The forest slowly started to fade and I started to awake to someone shaking my shoulders. "Beau?" I mumbled, turning my head to the side. What's Beau doing in my room this time of night? Why is he shaking me? "Do not call me that name." My eyes flew open as I jumped at the voice from my dream. A face was right in front of mine, and just like the voice, it wasn't Beau. Before I could form a scream, a hand covered my mouth. I tried to bite it but I couldn't get my mouth to open. He's too strong. I started to use my whole body to try to get away, but he crawled on top of me, holding me down. I pulled the hidden knife out from under my pillow and slashed as hard as I could at him, but he just grabbed my wrist and squeezed it until the pain made me drop the knife. Then he grabbed both my hands in one of his and held them over my head. He held me down while I struggled. I grunted and moved and tried to kick and scream, but I only wore myself out. Exhausted, I stopped thrashing and let the tears flow freely down my cheeks. I didn't know what to do, so I just tried to prepare myself for whatever was coming.Complete
Two Moons
He meets my eyes, then his eyes turn from annoyance, to lust. They seem to hold a fire so intense I almost forget to breathe. He's hot. Like, really hot. I shouldn't be feeling this, but I can't help it. He makes his way towards me, his footsteps rushing. He gazes up and down my body. I silently curse myself for not wearing jeans, and wearing leggings. And heels. Dang it. "I-uh... I was supp-," I start, my words faltering. He grabs my hand, and brings me into a nearby shop that looks closed, and pushes me into the wall, starting to kiss me. Kiss me. He's kissing me. I start to kiss him back as an immediate response, but then come to my senses. "Mine," he growls against my lips. I gasp, and he snakes his tongue into my mouth. I try to push him off, but it turns him on even more, as he pushes my shirt up. I squirm against him, trying to push him off, but he's too strong, and I have Beta blood in me. "Get off of her!" A familiar voice yells. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* May Laurent is no normal werewolf. Her brother ran away, and her dad died. She doesn't want a mate, under any circumstances. But what happens when she meets Jared, the sweet and caring Were? She falls for him, but when her friends set her up on a blind date before she meets her mate, she must go and cut things off. She will meet Lucas, her... other mate?Complete
