fairies fairy fairytale huntsman lightning magic mystical thunder witch witchcraft

This is a new piece I recently finished and I suppose it's sort of a "teaser" because it will be in my new short story collection (which happens to derive its name from this piece), THE WOLVES IN THE WOODS. That collection will be coming out summer of next year and will mark my first collection since the release of SOMETIMES THE ANGELS WEEP.
  
  I've been writing short stories for years and, unlike my novels, they always seem to come out speculative. I like this one because it's sort of self-referential. There's something about art being aware of itself that really intrigues me. I hope you like it, too.All Rights Reserved

WHERE THE HUMANS HOWL by KhanNasrullah

You must be familiar with wolves' howls but I want to show you the world where humans howl. Pain is a fundamental part of the human experience, which means that it's a fundamental part of storytelling. It's the root of some of our best metaphors, our most elegant writing. Characters in fiction suffer, because their suffering mirrors our own. Some of this collection of short stories explore themes of catastrophe, death and despair, while others talk of love and longing, with them all being highly complimented by readers with emotive writing skills. In the short story 'Donkey-Man', we read about a man who lived all his life among animals and writer, as a child, is surprised to know that he was a human. In the story "In Search of God' we meet a character who is confused by different religious sect and defines God in his own simple way. The villagers, who claim the real follower of God, don't allow him to live in the village, but he is welcomed by God. In the story, "The Last Storyteller", the narrator is at odds with a changing world. Through his three windows, he is offered glimpses of beauty and joy, but, alas, reality intrudes. On the way to capturing his tale, the windows show him the grace of the blue bird who sings in his garden, the joy of the young boys playing cricket by the graveyard and lastly, the sadness of a mysterious figure, the Last Storyteller, whose livelihood is as endangered as that of the rare bird's. Although some of these stories do deal with rather gloomy thoughts of life, they are all written in such a way that the stories told are interesting to read and really do make you think. This collection of short stories is definitely an interesting read with some of the questions not always being fully answered. And with many of the stories covering such dark subjects you will truly find it a hard book to put down.

The Dark Side of the Moon by thealexiarose

"Fuck, baby. You can't say things like that to me. I want to, also. Trust me." His hand snakes down my body until he enters two of his fingers into my wet center. I can only moan in response. "However," he kisses my neck possessively, finding the right spot to drive me crazy. "I need to build you up to that." He pushes his fingers in and out of me, hitting deeper and deeper as his strokes become longer and harder and faster. "You feel that? My fingers deep in your pussy that's dripping for me?" He licks the side of my neck as my breaths come out in short pants. "My dick is going to stretch you out so much more. When I finally fuck you, you're going to be sore for days. And you're going to love it." ---------- Thea Brooks, an 18-year-old college student, lives her life by a schedule. She has school, homework, her job at the Coffee shop where she drinks way too much caffeine to be healthy, and the rest of the time she is watching her little sister while her mother is at work. She thinks that everything will remain the same as she starts her college classes, but that all changes when a new friend of hers introduces her to an attractive guy that she can't seem to get out of her head. Grayson Dark, a 22-year-old Alpha of his pack, has been searching for his mate since he turned 16.

Without understanding the supernatural world existing around her, Thea will have to learn to look past Grayson's faults- mainly his possessiveness and anger issues- while staying out of danger from unknown threats and learning her place at Grayson's side. Oh... and keeping her grades up. How hard can that be?

The Hollow Woods and the Clockwork Wolves by Csalido17

In a world where magic ebbs and flows like a living tide, the mysterious Hollow Woods have long been a place of whispered legends and shadowed truths. When Lila, a young woman burdened by the weight of never quite belonging, stumbles into this otherworldly realm, she discovers a land unlike anything she has ever known-where trees whisper secrets, gears hum with forgotten songs, and the moon watches with a knowing gaze. The Hollow Woods are alive, pulsing with ancient magic both beautiful and terrifying. At its heart lies the Whispering Gears, an ancient, broken machine whose purpose is tied to the land's delicate balance. Guarded by creatures of wonder and menace-among them the eerie and majestic Clockwork Wolves-the machine's restoration is the only hope for the Hollow Woods' survival. Lila soon learns she is more than a lost wanderer. She is the child of prophecy, bound to the destiny of the Hollow Woods by threads of magic older than time. As she forges an uneasy alliance with Thorne, a cunning and enigmatic fox spirit, and navigates the complexities of a realm where the lines between ally and enemy blur, Lila discovers her latent power and the truth of her place in this forgotten world. But all is not as it seems. Beneath the forest floor lies a darkness stirring-an ancient, unleashed force that threatens to devour everything. To save the Hollow Woods, Lila must confront her deepest fears, untangle the riddles of the Whispering Gears, and unlock the secrets of the Clockwork Wolves, whose loyalty may come at a perilous price. As the Silver Moon rises and time runs short, Lila must decide: will she embrace her destiny and restore the balance, or let the Hollow Woods-and herself-be consumed by the encroaching shadow? In The Hollow Woods and the Clockwork Wolves, gothic whimsy and ethereal magic collide in a tale of courage, sacrifice, and the enduring power of a heart bound to the pulse of the land.

Of Men and Beasts by Rosebud91291

This is a folktale concept that came to me many years back, but it was only recently that I found myself able to shape it into the kind of story that I wanted. It's a bit longer and more detailed than my other short stories, about twice as long actually, which is why I've split it into two parts. Just to provide some context, it is meant to take place in a medieval, Germanic setting, shortly before the Protestant Reformation when religious fervor was at an all-time high. I really hope you all enjoy this as it took quite a lot of work to finally write down. Feedback welcomed and encouraged as always!

Fire Fox by RivinSparks

It's dangerous to leave fire going while leaving camp. But some people just don't care, why come camp out in the woods in the first place? Whatever the answer is, I hope you're happy. A mystical forest is said to hold spirits of the ancient animals that once lived there, many creatures roam the forest. Some humans wish to see said beings, though they never are able to. Said for one family who decided to try and ended up with nothing, they didn't think about putting out their campfire. A young fox happened to roam where they had just left, seeing the red and orange flames dance in the blackened wood. It got closer and closer, not knowing the dangers. A simple pop and the poor baby fox's fur was set to flames, or ran frantically to get them to go away, but its efforts weren't enough, it simply burned to death, turning into ashes. It's soup now roams the forest, its body made entirely of flames, see as its journey takes him much farther than anticipated. What will come of this young fox? Will it accept its knew life or become impure like the Unrien, darkened souls that leak dangers during the night.

Looking To Belong (A Runt's Story) by CrystalScherer

As a runt, Jade didn't think she'd ever find a pack willing to accept her, even though she has gained an impressive set of skills while surviving in No Man's land. A chance encounter provides the opportunity to prove her worth, but when she arrives, against all odds, she picks up an irresistible scent. Her soulmate. Standing at a crossroads, she must decide if she's willing to grasp at her chance of unconditional love-and risk the heart-rending pain of rejection. As a runt, the odds are not in her favor. -------- On a side note: None of the main characters are mated to an Alpha. No character has 'exclusive' abilities or powers. ----- Excerpt: My steps faltered as I noticed that two of the pursuing wolves had sped ahead and were waiting to intercept me. I launched toward a tree and ricocheted off at a ninety-degree angle without slowing down. One of the wolves behind quickly followed and began closing in. I started to panic, looking around frantically for a way to escape. I saw a rabbit burrow under a small bramble bush and desperately raced towards it. I darted under the edge of the plant and heard the tan wolf go around as he expected me to come out the other side. It gave me the precious seconds I needed to squeeze down the tunnel. My relief was short-lived - the rabbit that dug this burrow had not survived long enough to finish it. The tunnel was only about twice as long as the average human arm, and I could clearly see the entrance. I sent a silent prayer that the bramble bush would deter them and that they would not realize just how shallow this burrow was. I waited anxiously.
