Alex Cabrera is new to Shadow Wood, Pennsylvania. Not that he minded moving from the Sunshine State when there's nothing there to hold him down. Not even the clingy ex-boyfriend who won't stop calling him repeatedly throughout the day.
      
To Alex, Shadow Wood reminds him of a living Prozac commercial. Strangers smile and wave from their yards, while children blissfully run and play.  The town is unmistakably beautiful, a vibrant, historical community, with a river that runs through its center. 
      
If that's not enough to catch Alex's attention, there's also the four beautiful strangers he meets at a bonfire, who will force him to question his worldview.  Little does he know, a connection he shares with one of them, will alter his life forever.
      
But not everything in Shadow Wood is as blissful and rose colored as it appears.  A series of storms brewing on the horizon seem to portend something sinister is coming.  And though no one wants to admit it, Alex senses it will be a battle of life or death; good versus evil.  
      
And if he's right, what price must be paid?  What sacrifice must be endured?  What losses must be suffered?

Alpha descent: A Human's rise to power (BxB) by Kyrielle_woods_027
19 parts Ongoing Mature
(BxB) 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

• Completed • • Highest Ranking • #6 Werewolf February 2022 • Awards • 1st Place Paranormal Category: Splendiferous Awards May 2021 • Summary • A story of belonging, family and love, Edie Cohen goes on a journey of self-discovery to find out who she really is. Edie thinks she is human. She has never been told otherwise. Not by the elderly aunt who raised her, and not by anyone else. But it isn't until her aunt passes away from illness that Edie learns that there is far more to the bedtime stories she was told as a child... Guided only by the notes her aunt left behind and her questionable instincts, Edie finds herself thrust into the middle of supernatural conflict that leaves her questioning everything she has ever known. Soon Edie learns that her mother was a werewolf, and her father a human, neither able to give her the guidance and answers she desperately needs after they were murdered for their unconscionable union between species. Fiercely determined and independent, her journey lands her into the arms of her mate, a dark and moody Phelan Reyes. Unbeknownst to Edie, he has always been watching her from afar, protecting her from those who seek to exploit her hybridity. When she finds her way to him, Phelan cannot mark Edie to protect her. The process is toxic for humans, so there is no mind-link. No capacity for her to shift. And no way to protect her. Her hybridity is unheard of- and Phelan has to fight his own internal battles to make her his due to the risks involved. Add in a human ex-boyfriend who is determined to find her, and the werewolf council The Guild who will stop at nothing to ensure her mutation is ended once and for all, Edie finds herself on an adventure that is far more than she ever bargained for... Mature language, themes and scenes.
