Godspark by LHMarion

Long ago, the gods ruled not from heavens, but from thrones carved into the land itself. They were warlords and wanderers, creators and destroyers-each embodying a domain: War, Secrets, Storms, Desire, Death, Memory, and more. For centuries they shaped the world of Elarion, guiding mortals with gifts of power and fear. Then came the Sundering. The gods turned on one another, tearing the skies with their fury and cracking the earth beneath their feet. When the divine war ended, they vanished-no tombs, no farewells, only silence. But their blood did not vanish. It passed through generations, hidden in mortal veins. Those born from this legacy bear godmarks, shimmering sigils on their skin that pulse with fragments of divine power. Now, centuries later, the Godmarked live in uneasy shadow. Revered by some. Hunted by others. And watched by the Council of Balance, who fears a second divine uprising. Kalen Serros, heir to the Warfather's bloodline, is known before he even arrives at Virelian Academy. A temper like fire, a blade like poetry-he seeks vengeance for a lost brother and freedom from a legacy that defines him. Rosira Veylen is his opposite in every way. Reserved, cunning, and untraceable, she bears the mark of the Veilbearer, god of secrets. Her past is a riddle, and her future may unravel the academy itself. They are strangers. Rivals. Warnings wrapped in human form. But as ancient powers stir beneath the surface of the world, and whispers of divine return grow louder, their fates begin to tangle. Together, they may save Elarion. Or destroy it.

Moonmarked by InkByMohini

She came to the forest to disappear. But the moon remembered her. She was never chosen. She was remembered. In a forest that listens and a world stitched with memory, Elara carries a mark that glows only under moonlight - a secret she cannot explain. Kael Thorne is the alpha of a cursed pack, bound by prophecy and haunted by loss. He has built his life on restraint, on silence, on vows never to love again. Yet the bond he cannot deny is already written into his skin. When Elara and Kael's paths begin to circle closer, the hush itself listens. Between Council maps, rival shadows, and the weight of prophecy, their bond will be tested - not by possession, but by choice. Moonmarked is a tale of slow‑burning love, mystical bonds, and emotional truth. For those who ache quietly, love fiercely, and long for something unnamed - this story is yours.

The Hollow Gateway by veiloflia

Four girls. One forgotten place. A night when the moon refuses to rise. When laughter turns into destiny and dreams blur into another world, the line between reality and fantasy begins to fade. Whispers of an ancient promise echo through Mistglen - a promise that ties love, loss, and eternity together beneath the silver glow of the moon. Magic breathes in the shadows. Secrets wait in the light. And the key to everything lies within the heart of a girl who never asked to be chosen.

Blind Faith (Book 1) by ZaneDavidC

Crimson Tide: Under the Ashen Veil. by ZANIAWADEFICTION

"The gods are silent. The surface is ash. And something ancient just opened its eyes underground." Beneath the shattered remains of the old world, survivors live by the light of dying ley-lines and the brutal order of the Guilds. Kaelen Vire, a mercenary with a haunted past, and Rook Dastan, his wolf-blooded companion, expected another job. What they found instead was a child-abandoned, ley-sick, and impossible. The boy shouldn't be alive. He hums with magic that should not exist. And the deeper they go, the more the world bends around him. Now pursued by cult fanatics, hunted by relic-born horrors, and tangled in a prophecy no one remembers writing, Kaelen and Rook must decide: save the child, or survive the world that wants him forgotten. The Stones are stirring. The Ashen Veil is watching. And something lost is calling itself home. Author Note: "It explores identity through queerness, loss, and transformation. The world of Emberdeep and beyond is not safe. It is brutal, beautiful, and dripping with myth made flesh." CONTENT DISCLOSURE: CRIMSON TIDE - THE ASHEN VEIL This story contains mature themes including post-apocalyptic survival, body horror, psychological trauma, cult manipulation, interdimensional war, and the existential burden of inherited power. Viewer discretion is advised for depictions of violence, grief, and magical corruption. This is not a tale of heroes-it is a chronicle of chosen scars and the price of remembering.

Moon - CrankGameplays by Dark_Puppet832

[THIS IS NOT A X READER STORY NOR A LOVE STORY] Ethan has always been fascinated by the Moon: glowing up there, in the night sky, surrounded by stars, generously offering its glow to light his room. His cold, small room, where he spent hours and hours thinking about his condition. Looking at the Moon made everything much easier: washing away his fears became almost a joke, arguing with his mind and his self-esteem seemed like a game. Everything under the moonlight became easier to bear: his problems, his inner demons, his life. If he looked at the Moon, he felt nothing but a sensation of peace. "I'm so fucked up, man" "Aren't we all fucked up? You're the one that shows it"

Ashes of Ice by _flowers_and_fire_

The trials are meant to prove loyalty to the Goddess and earn the sacred pack mark. Amara expected hardship. She didn't expect Daimeon.

A truth that ties her fate to Daimeon's...and to a darkness thought long destroyed.

Chrysalis (Book 1.5 in the Wolfen Brethren Series) by Layla-A-D

At the age of 13 she found her mate. A wolf who was not quite a wolf and a man not quite grown. He was her mate but she was not his. She was too young, too scarred, too innocent, too broken. At the age of 16 she was a woman and he a man, a wolf but she was not enough. His hackles had risen and he was prowling, hunting on other prey while his butterfly learnt to spread her wings. At the age of 23 she was changing, she was a woman in her own right. A beautiful butterfly with wings that spun wide in colours of splendour and he was still a wolf. A wolf who had missed his butterfly take flight. A story about strength, growth and self-love. This book is a standalone but is best understood when Capture is read first.
