competition faerie shortstory werebear

After losing his family Derek has left his life in the city behind, including his job within the police force, to take on a position as a park ranger at the infamous Redstone National Park. Due to the extreme conditions of the winter and remote location, which is miles from civilization - he thinks it just the place he needs to be to escape the ghosts of his past. 

It’s not just the native animals living with the parks boundaries that appreciate his work, but also a century old community of forest faeries who have so far kept their existence hidden from the human world until a poaching raid goes wrong which leaves Derek stranded and fighting for his life. 

The faerie elders decide to intervene and they do something to help him, but will changing his fate by saving his life be seen as blessing or a curse? And just how will this have an affect on him when he meets the faerie, Amerie?

Midnight Eclipse (Paranormal Viking Romance, Completed) by lisa_london_

||OUTLANDERxVIKINGS|| Greenland 1406: In the dim sunlight of a rare midnight eclipse--when the moon shades the never-setting sun of polar summer--the last Vikings escape Greenland's frozen shores on a longship, leaving doors ajar and fires burning. They don't know where they're going but they know they can't stay. Left on the shore stands Björn the Bearslayer, covered in the blood of his fellow Norsemen. He risked it all for his love Gudrun, a seer who was forced into marriage with Björn's father. Now he's befallen with a curse sealed in bear blood and has become more beast than man. Greenland, present day: After a disastrous break-up, Saga escapes to Greenland, hoping a few summer weeks in the glow of the midnight sun will provide her with the respite she seeks. But instead, a mystical artifact etched with runes pulls her into the saga of Björn the Bearslayer. Alongside charming whale-safari guide Mikk, Saga discovers the truth about the last Vikings in Greenland. As Saga learns Björn's story, she realizes that she is not just a passive bystander to the unfolding narrative but the key to how it ends. Perhaps the beast of the past is still out there somewhere. Will she be able to bring a happy ending to a tragic saga six hundred years in the making and will she mend her aching own heart in the process?

Jade is on the run. To escape her old coven, she pretends to be normal. Just some run-off-the-mill witch. Certainly not someone powerful and especially not a life weaver. Taking on the position of the town witch in a seemingly idyllic, quiet, and desolate town seemed like the perfect plan to lay low for a while until she meets Paxton--shifter, Supernatural Security Division agent, and worst of all: witch hunter. When a dark ritual is performed just outside of town, all signs point to the works of a powerful witch. The only problem: Jade is the only witch. Now she has to work with Paxton to find the real culprit before her identity is exposed. The longer she stays, the harder it gets to leave. As the investigation unfolds, it becomes apparent that a high politician is not only behind the attacks, but after something specific. The town guards its own secret, one that forces Jade to compromise her carefully crafted identity or risk the safety of her new home. When her past and present collide, Jade needs to finally face those who have been after her powers all this time without losing everything she's built in her new home. *** Cover made by @allrenwrote

Marking his mate - A Silver Shifter Series 2 by Hong_2

Last edited March '24 Message from Elisa: Who bites a strange? Like seriously, Hunter McKenzie just bit me, he bit me! Now he is calling me his mate! How could that be true? What about his old fling, Samara, the crazy female shifter, who is fixated on him? How will I protect my family from her? Receiving message from Hunter: I admit it, I was wrong. For so long I thought it was a lie, but it's not. Mates are real. My mate is real and I found her; I marked her; she hates me. I couldn't stop the feral bear inside me from marking her, from claiming her. She is mine but she doesn't want me, she rejects me, with no explanation other than she doesn't want me. How I survive without her?

Playing with Fire by hjyi04

TRIGGER WARNINGS: I focus on the plot but there will be some vivid blood/gore depictions and violence. There will also be some dark themes at play. The Fae have always loved their games... and we were nothing but their pawns. The Aedan Faeries had been gifted with the elemental magic of fire by the Elder Tree but when the last Aedan King died with no clear heir, their magic had started to die. By the wisdom of the Elder Tree, the one who endures its three trials will emerge the new Aedan King Ash hardly cared. Humans were just a blip of existence to the Fae's and it showed in the way that her kind was treated. Fearing for her life (and her mind) every day, privy to the horrors that they all endured, she just hoped that whenever the next Aedan King was coronated, it was long after she was dead... ... and not a moment too soon when she's picked by the Elder Tree to undergo its three trials, an unwelcome addition to the six who'd already been chosen to compete. Maybe this was better - at least her death will be swift, a victory in and of itself.
