A short story written for the Red Feather Award Summer 2019 Writing Contest. @RedFeatherAward
Also a first draft-



The gates between the world has been opened.
 Creatures long forgotten have been released.
 Creatures good... and evil.
 Creatures seeking revenge.

 Grizela West (Griz) is definitely not normal. She doesn't even look human, which led to her being thrown out of home at an early age.
 After accidently killing a person (she closed a lid on a bin that was later emptied with a man inside), she is on the run from everything she has known for most of her life. The people who she has grown up with, who has helped her, are hunting her. 
 They aren't the only ones.
A being, one of those who has been imprisoned until being released, wants revenge. It won't stop until it dies, or until those who it hunts is dead. After finding a scent that is different but similar to its own, and to those it hunts, it will search far and near for the owner.All Rights Reserved

Ayn's Healing by AMHillmann

Ayn is a witch with healing powers. Shapeshifters have killed her parents and the only animals she cannot speak with are wolves. When she graduates from the Teaching Clan and finds out that she has to cross the River and live in the Wolves' Mountains for one year, she is less than amused. Kari, first-born shapeshifter Alpha, almost lost his wolf after the death of his mate. He could rise again and become the pack leader if only he would complete his training ...and find another suitable Luna. When he realizes that his second chance is his mother's guest, a daydreaming stubborn witch from across the River, he is less than amused. The bond may be a strong force, but can a witch walk the Wolves' Way and face the dangers it is paved with? **** "I need to stop..." I sigh, catching her wrist before her fingers reach the back of my neck, and I untangle her arm from me. She lingers on the recliner but now there is a big gap between our bodies. The warmth she left on my skin is quickly dissipating in the spring night. "Fine." Ayn stands and searches my eyes. Her scowl has my wolf whimper in submission and makes me curse my self-imposed hard line. "I am going to need your hoodie," she orders, stretching her hand out to me. "What?" I exclaim, briefly shocked by both the tone and the content of her words. My hands however are already executing her command, unzipping my jacket. "The last time I was able to sleep, I was covered with your hoodie. Your scent is comforting." She states it plainly as if it would be an obvious and broadly known fact. Like the Earth being round. Like two being a prime number. #1 in Healer - December 2021 #7 in Lycan - December 2022 ~95 000 words Cover photo by Jr Korpa via Unsplash Cover photo by Marc-Olivier Jodoin via Unsplash hi

A Lone Wolf by fanfic_writer_asnow

Being eight is sad, being twelve is weird, being 18 isn't so bad and by 20 you find out that 18 probably was as good as it will ever get because 20, 20 is the worst. Is this how it's always going to be? Impossible, lonely and just f*cking awful? No. Not for Kissimi. This young Alaskan wolf shifter is going to find her path. Her family has grown up and moved on, whilst she's remained stuck in place. Even though she has been left behind she will not sit by and waste away in her bedroom while everyone else lives. Kissimi will live too. She will learn, love, laugh, fall down and get back up again. 20 won't defeat her and her past won't define her. Unless of course fate has deadlier plans in store then... Well then what can she do? Who is she to rule fate even if it is her own? Does she deserve to be saved? Is she worth it?

Master of Bones | The Royal Legacies Series by mysteriouslyspooky

The kingdom of Stretos had been around longer than the others, but it wasn't considered a kingdom during those days. It was more of a "safe haven' for the unusual and the different. The "unusual and the different" were what the people called shapeshifters. Those of the weak and closed-minded first called them witches and wizards thinking that they were doing it to scare the people, not because it was part of their DNA. Killed, hunted, and trapped, they moved far into the forests and kept to themselves. People were afraid of what they could be. In this case, Gozaydg, the ruler of the shapeshifters, could turn into a bear. And since they were "magic" per se they were twice as large as the normal animal was. The king was fully intent on living his life by himself. He didn't need nor want the love that his sister had. He was content with being an uncle, but when a woman as equally shamed and abused falls into his life he may just make an exception. | Third Book of The Royal Legacies Series | • - - - - - - - - - - • - - - - - - - - - - • This will contain some language, references, blood, gore, and violence.

Supernatural's by WALEXO_OXELAW

In an ancient world, there lived many creatures whom the inhabitants thought of as otherworldly Deities. Due to the vast amount of said creatures, many religions & cults sprung up across this world in worship of them, however no one religion was the same, which caused conflict to spread among the people. Overtime, they soon began to forget about these strange beings as their civilizations advanced, and their existence was turned to mere myth as these once revered creatures were forced into hiding to preserve themselves. That was until 7 descendants of these mystical creatures each embark on a journey to the Mythic World after learning of their magical bloodline, in a place just below the earth's surface, known as Center Earth, and meet up as if by fate to face the beautiful wonders and perilous dangers of the place they'd only ever heard of in myth & legend.

Rising Powers by Sophia_Grace_Pearson

(74,890 words) The wind rushed past me as my wings beat against the night sky. I noticed a copse of trees up ahead. I slowed to a stop, talons clutching a low-hanging branch. I looked beyond the trees and a pair of glowing golden eyes met my own. Wolf eyes. My eyes widened in fear as I took off. I dodged the trees in my path, but one branch snapped on my wing. My vision blurred, pain lacing through my wing. I continued to flap my wings, clinging desperately to the notion I would make it out alive. More than one wolf was chasing me, their paws a staccato on the ground. They would catch up. They would devour me. I tried to stay in the air, but the pain was unbearable. I fell to the ground, fluttering down like a dead leaf. I snapped my eyes open. Breathing heavily, I sat up. My room shifted in and out of focus as my eyes adjusted. When I was little, my father always told me that dreams were just my imagination, that people were never chased by wolves, and people certainly could never be birds. Vera Stone is a seventeen-year-old girl who lives in a small Louisiana town by the bayou. Small, boring, where nothing ever happens. Or so she and her friends think. One night the hidden darkness surrounding their town and their lives comes to the surface. Will Vera and her friends figure out the secrets hidden through their town's history before it's too late?
