Wind by AmyMarieZ

•• Wattys 2018 Winner •• Wattpad Featured Story •• One day, a wind blew into the town of Millstone and didn't stop. Slowly people moved away. It was like the town was trying to clear itself out, as though it was preparing for something sinister. When a strange man moves into town and purchases the old abandoned farmhouse on Clay Road, Harper suspects he might be up to something. As Harper and his best friend Jeremey investigate the man's activities, they end up discovering some frightening truths about their town, the newcomer, and the wind itself. But getting close to the truth comes with risks, and they soon find themselves in danger not only of the stranger on Clay Road, but also the dark forces within Millstone that have remained silent for too long. •• AWARDS •• 🥈2nd Place in Horror, The Chaos Awards (April 2018) 🥉3rd Place in Horror/Paranormal, The Literally Lit Literature Awards (May 2018) 🥈2nd Place in Horror/Paranormal, The Blossom Awards (June 2018) 🥈2nd Place in Horror/Paranormal, The Psychedelic Awards (July 2018) 🥉3rd place overall and best grammar, The X-Factor Awards Season 2 (August 2018) 🥇1st place in Horror, The Hidden Gem Awards 2018 (September 2018) 🏆 The Wattys 2018 Storysmiths Winner (October 2018) 🥇 1st Place in Horror/Paranormal, ILoveAwards (May 2019)

At least the problem with the angry boss can be fixed: to prove his worth and pay back debts, Jack agrees to help her find a valuable treasure in a cursed swamp infested with danger.

The Code of The Alpha by MaybeManhattan

2021 NEW EDITION | COMPLETED From dodging airborne slot machines to an unplanned swim in the fountain of a luxury hotel, it's safe to say that a trip to Las Vegas doesn't go as Carrie Blair had planned it to. A part-time teacher by day and an artist by night, Carrie thought that a fun, relaxing weekend in Vegas with her best friend was exactly what the two of them needed to unwind. Instead, her presence in the city of lights attracts the attention of a rival Alpha. Luca Ronan thunders into Carrie's life with plenty of demands and expectations of his new mate. Unfortunately for him, Carrie isn't one to fold under pressure-even when it's applied by the most intimidating Alpha in the country. Stubborn and determined, Carrie puts as much space between her and Luca as she can. But how long can she remain ill-willed against the charm and passion that comes with the formidable Alpha she has been destined to love? // Story by @MaybeManhattan Highest Ranking: #1 in Werewolf Featured by @Werewolf and by @Wattpad

The Drinker of Blood by mhunyadi

|| WATTYS 2022 WINNER || Don't ever take anything from me. Don't ever wrong me. I try hard to be a tolerant and a forgiving person, but I am unrelenting in my vengeance and my desires. Thirty years ago, a man wronged me, stole from me the most precious thing in the world, and I've been wreaking my vengeance on him ever since. I don't give up, I don't stop, and I don't ever just go away. I'm a drinker of blood, and I live the life I choose.

It Came With The House by SnowyWraith

**Entry in thegrudgecontest** I was a non-believer of the supernatural, a skeptic if you will. I thought ghosts were a figment of overactive imaginations. Paranormal was just a genre created for entertainment purposes. But all that changed when I moved into an old farmhouse that had a tragic past... My once normal life was thrown into absolute chaos by one ticked-off specter. A ghost who was furious that we had trespassed onto their property and wanted us gone expeditiously. ********************** Highest Rankings as of 06/19/2021: #1 diabolical #2 erie #4 thegrudgecontest #13 following #18 haunted house #24 fright ********************** Some strong language so be advised.
