A coming-of-age story about a snake girl called Kay and her shape-shifting friend who accidentally uncover a conspiracy and wind up changing the world.

*****

Kay is a sarcastic, ordinary high school girl who enjoys her weekends and doesn't think much about anything. Kay is also a green-skinned, reptilian-human variant. In her world, all children born on any given day look the same, all over the world. Nobody knows why. There are extreme mutations:  tentacles, wings, fur, horns, and abilities to leap tall buildings or breathe fire. That's just how it's always been and Kay thinks nothing of it, until she meets Cal: a shape-shifter who is on the run and needs her help to uncover what's really going on.

Morph [EDITING] || Wattys 2017 Winner by hana_andromeda

"They took my sister. Now I'm taking her back." Seventeen years ago, humans started developing supernatural abilities. Comic books came true as the first person flew, created fire, mind-read. The world entered a new age where people who could do special things were revered and admired. That all changed when one man lost control of his power and unleashed a huge explosion in a crowded shopping centre, killing over a thousand others. A series of fights involving superhumans broke out, resulting in the destruction of multiple cities and hundreds upon hundreds of further lives lost. The government began hunting down those extraordinary people with the assistance of a specialised unit: trained in recognising different abilities. Suddenly powers became something scary, uncontrollable and dangerous, that nobody wanted to own up to having. Seventeen years after the Explosion, Amelie Rose Carmichael is the daughter of the man who is in charge of hunting down and imprisoning these people. She enjoys a comfortable life, protected from any threats against her. But when Amelie develops an ability without warning, she must try to keep it hidden from her family, her friends, and above all her father. Can she keep a secret? Will she use her powers to help the rebel organisation that has approached her? And what secrets are the people around her hiding?

Clashing Obsessions by caffeineandcomputers

A tech-saavy cyborg with too much time on her hands. A quick-thinking detective with a fascinating new case. A mad scientist on the verge of a groundbreaking advancement. A young girl wants nothing more than to lead an interesting life, but is constantly faced with empty time and incessant boredom. When she turns to computers to pass the time, she quickly finds herself entangled in a world of less-than-legal programming, soon earning a reputation as an exceptional hacker. When she discovers someone else with a mind like hers, it doesn't take long for her to become preoccupied by the mystery of him, and she longs to find out his identity. Unfortunately, a clever international detective is a little too determined to track her down, and a scientist with a disregard for ethics has other plans for her, involving an experiment that he believes could revolutionize humanity, but at what cost? Three people, three stories, three obsessions, intertwined in this sci-fi tale set in a cyberpunk-inspired world in the year 2120. What do teenage hacker Kalix Raven, UNBI Agent Rachel Cassanova, and Dr. Rovart Blayne all have in common? They're all a little obsessed. (Book 1 of 3) [Watty's 2022 Shortlist]

The Reluctant Cougar (Rise of the Alpha King's Heir) by AmouraLucinda

*Complete but still subject to edits* Ben Cougar and Eileen Grau have been best friends since they were kids. For the young cougar-shifter, it was love at first sight. For the ostracized Vampire girl, it was good to have a friend--even if he was six years younger. Time changes all things, however, and when Eileen comes home from college Ben is no longer "little" in any sense of the word. He has a young man's body, a young man's desires, and he's done letting other men break his woman's heart. Ignorant people might call her a cougar, but if Ben has his way, soon everybody will be calling her Mrs. Cougar. Shapeshifter x vampire Older woman x younger man *** A few notes: This story takes place in the late '90s/early 2000s. This is a prequel, and while it does lead into the next story it can be read as a HEA standalone. This is an instant-love, slow-burn story that will include dirty talk and some some tamer aspects of kink-play as the characters' relationship progresses. Also, because I want everybody to have a happily ever after, this story will occasionally take detours into the minds and relationships of the side characters. I hope you enjoy! ***** #1 in cougar 8/2/21 #1 in olderwoman 12/8/21 #1 in youngerman 11/20/21 #1 in fatedlovers 8/2/21 #1 in bloodmates 12/27/22 #5 in loveconquersall 11/5/23 #9 in energy 12/8/21 #12 in empathy 12/8/21 #12 in nineties 11/5/23

Cheetah's Mate by Blackcatlover_87

Kyra Atcuian hides a secret from the world around her. Kyra has the ability to shift, and the form that she takes is that of a cheetah. Shifters as a whole are a dying species thanks to hunters. Those that turned on their magic and gifts and now hunt those like Kyra down. Not only are shifters rare, but cheetah shifters even more so. With hunters weeding them out, shifters seem to be becoming more animal than rational. So when her heat cycle hits not having a male around of her breed is fine by her. That way she won't end up mated to a complete asshole. Who would leave her pregnant and not help raise a child that would need to be hidden from the world. She hasn't seen another shifter in years, and it's safer to just fade away into the world of humans. However fate has a different plan for Kyra when she meets twin brothers Adrian and Andre. They are cheetah shifters as well, and a female in heat is impossible to ignore. Kyra knows the danger of the shifter world, and never wanted to mate. Sometimes fate has other plans. This story is the first in a series of stories. It sets up for the rest to follow. Enjoy the world of shifters! Interested? Please see the following stories as well! All these characters weave into each other's stories as they are a society of people! Lion's mate Leopard's mate Wolf's mate Tiger's mate Gamstouchi's mate Uni's mate

Streamfield Shifters: Hide & Seek by M_A_Hartman

|| 2021 WATTYS SHORTLIST || Welcome to Streamfield, Massachusetts, home to one of the largest populations of witches, sorcerers, and shapeshifters in New England. Little Jimmy Grabowski is missing ... and that's a problem. In a world where a witch or a sorcerer can locate someone with a simple tracking spell, all attempts at recovering the boy have come up empty. Finding themselves at an impasse, the local police department turns to the Michaels Clan, one of the largest shapeshifter clans in the city, for help. Snow leopard shifter Alina Michaels sees the Grabowski case as her chance to discover if there is something more to life than being the receptionist for the family business. When the clan tracks Jimmy's scent to a wooded area marked by two eerie silver stones, it becomes apparent that this isn't a simple case of kidnapping. The stones are a Gateway to the mythical lost continent of Atlantis, home to a race long since regulated to legends-elves. Now, Alina must trek across unfamiliar and fantastical territory in order to find Jimmy and bring him home. For Jimmy's disappearance may herald that something more sinister is afoot and pose dangerous consequences to both worlds ... Cover designed by @xxsoteria

The Return of the Gods (Children of the Sun Book 1) by dragonthusiast

[2023 Wattys Shortlist, 2023 Amby Awards winner, Featured 4 times in Wattpad Picks lists] Kaleth has worked as an agent of Luxarx for years. What the average person might see as an exciting, dangerous job has become the routine, and the only thing that fazes Kaleth now is that his habit of wearing suits everywhere is somehow still a thing his teammates tease him over. But that's all about to change. An encounter with one unexpectedly peaceful (and cute) terrorist soldier brings everything he thought he knew into question. If not all Umbra are dangerous criminals, what else does Luxarx get wrong? As he investigates, Kaleth stumbles onto a conspiracy that doesn't just concern the agency, but also his government, and the whole world. There are monsters hiding in plain sight, secretly in charge of everything since the very beginning - the long-forgotten dragon-gods with supernatural abilities. And they are definitely not as mythological as everyone thought. Now branded traitors, can Kaleth and his team fight back against the government they once served, and stop a world war before it can start? --------------------------- [word count: ≈ 90 000 words] • Book 1 - The Return of the Gods • Book 2 - The Return to Irithara • Book 3 - The Return of the Lifebringer • Book 4 - The Aperios [Featured in Wattpad Picks lists: 'Extraordinary Realms ✨' in December 2023, 'Reading Radar' in January 2024, 'Celebrating Wattpad Hits' in February 2024, and Valiant Heroes 🏰✨🏔 in June 2024, and also on the @fantasy profile]

Brianna Acero and the Second One's Return by RaquelS03

One hundred years ago, war threatened the existence of humanity. One man's actions might bring it back. During WWV, battles weren't won with bombs, but with science. Specifically, with DNA. Now, a person's place in society is determined by their genetic code. If your Gift is as mundane as knowing what time it is without needing a watch, you're probably a Norm, but if it's so extraordinary that it's considered a danger to the public, congratulations, you're an Elite. Seventeen-year-old Brianna Acero doesn't fall into either category. She is the only girl in the world who has no Gift at all. When life throws her a curveball and Brianna finds herself living among the Elites, she begins to uncover layers upon layers of secrets about her own past, but there is one secret that was not meant to be unlocked. Now, there is no way of putting it back in its cage. The Second One is back, and this time he won't be so forgiving. His actions could bring about a new world war, and the end of Gifted society along with it. Only Brianna is unique enough to stop him, but will she rise to the challenge? Revenge is a dangerous game, and not everyone is ready to play it.
