He can communicate with them and use the magical abilities they wielded against monsters when they were alive. His newfound power would be pretty cool, if the ghosts in question weren't his family and the man who killed them. Death doesn't stop Felix's siblings from finding new ways to annoy him from beyond the grave, nor his parents from doing their best to protect him from the dangerous side of his new life. Felix learns that his family belonged to an organization of magicians called the Bright Guardians, while their killer was a part of the Guardian Uprising that tried to overthrow the organization eight years earlier. The Bright Guardians take Felix in, hoping they can train him to fight monsters and control the ghosts living inside of him. Felix barely understands the magical world his family kept secret from him, but he does make friends with other odd cases at the Bright Academy. Troublemaker Arisa Tamura is struggling to control her ability to animate objects while under the influence of cursed bracelets, while the smart but reserved Mason Briggs is a witch who was transformed into a demon as a last resort to save his life. Together, the three of them realize that Uprising spies are still hiding among the Guardians. They have no idea who they can trust, but they do know who they can't: a Guardian named Ernest Abernathy, who stole a powerful wand from Mason's parents before killing them. Felix, Mason, and Arisa must construct a plan to steal back the wand without any help. If their plan fails, Ernest will turn the Guardians against them and have them locked up, or executed. If they succeed, they'll have one more weapon in the fight against the Uprising's army. Either way, the approaching war is inevitable. Be warned this book contains death, violence, and an above average amount of spiders.<div class="V1nL2" data-testid="copyright"><span class="dyK9G" aria-hidden="true"></span>All Rights

out. However, death was interested in someone else that night. Del finds a murdered young woman, who soon rises from the dead as a zombie. Del is brought into a very special community living in happy isolation within the beautiful Whisper Valley. There creatures of myth and legend live together in harmony, following a strict set of rules that allow them to be who they are but also enjoy modern amenities like a steady Wifi connection and the latest smartphone. They all just want a normal life that's free from persecution by humans. For them, humans are instead seen as a commodity. Specifically they're known as the "Bodies" and they all have one year to either be sponsored or converted by one of the town's supernatural citizens. Del fills the vacancy left by the corpse in the woods, Calista Nightgrave. Calista should have been the next bride to a wealthy vampire, but instead she is a lowly zombie that's furious over the shift in her immortal afterlife.

Would you believe her? Neither did I. But then, a glowing halo showed up around my head, marking me as the daughter of Belobog, the White God. Despite the special light manipulation power I got, which might just be the coolest--or scariest--thing ever, I let the gods know about a complication: I'm to return home asap, or child services might take me away from my mom. However, when monsters from the shadow plane make an appearance, I find myself whisked away to another realm, trying to stop them with all my might. But traveling with my childhood-best-friend and potential crush Max and adapting to a fantastical new world is nothing compared to learning how many dark secrets the shadow plane hides. Oh, and did I mention that the fates of both, my world and the gods', rest on OUR shoulders? © 2022 EvelynHail Exclusively on Wattpad _________ Based on prompt 15!

Convinced the man is her biological father, she tracks him down and learns more than she bargains for. Not only is he her father, but a vampire, which means she'll be coming into her fangs any day. But complications arise when he also explains her witchy mother stole the heart of an African goddess, enabling her life. Armed with a reincarnated bestie and a ruggedly strict, but dashing Guardian, Sparrow is forced on the run as every supernatural overlord seeks to take the goddess's heart for themselves. The only way to escape this nightmare is to return what her mother stole...her very heart. But that means Sparrow will have to remain a drab and medicated vampire and relinquish her divinely witch nature to the Orisha. Each time she casts a spell, Sparrow tastes her newfound abilities and it's secretly delicious. It isn't long before she fears becoming just like the monsters who are chasing after her heart.

The man lazily lifted his hands in surrender. "Now, now." He said softly. His voice was like velvet. "No need. I'll do as you please." The man in the cage said, his eyes straying to her. "You know what it is we want beastling." The man with the pale eyes said. The caged man shot him a glance, something dancing just below the surface of his calm, relaxed demeanor. The air in the room was electric. The man locked eyes with her, sending a shiver through her whole body. She felt like a rabbit in the jaws of a wolf- struggling, but doomed. Then, his eyes still on hers, he began to change. --- When Theophania Pennrose arrives in Ilaross, a tiny town tucked away in the recesses of the Alaskan wilderness, she is under the impression that she's simply there to visit her dear younger brother Dimetreaus. But as her stay extends, the wildlife comes knocking at their door and paints warnings on the windows. She finds herself trapped in the eternal night of winter with the wolves circling, intent on making her theirs. But Theo's petals are unfurling, and the end result may be more beautiful and bloody than any of them imagined. --- Marked Mature for mature themes. War In Embers is a currently completed script in its final iteration, spanning 51 chapters + a prologue and bonus content. This means that scheduled updates will not be missed, as while the work is not fully released, it is fully completed. New releases will go up every single Friday (Noon, MST) for 46-47 weeks, making our projected end date April 18th, 2025. However, this end date is flexible in that it can come sooner as interest and engagement demands. Assuming engagement, I will increase scheduling to every Monday AND Friday, or even every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, meaning the completed work will be available 2-3 times faster than initially projected.

But when the two are forced to go on the run together, Elijah's healing wounds are opened, and he realises that Lyca Corp. took more than his childhood. ⊳⊱ ♕ ⊰⊲ The moment Elijah escaped from the lab where he unwillingly spent the past thirteen years of his life, he planned to live up to his promise: he'd find Haru, the only thing that kept him sane growing up. But with no idea where Lyca Corp. transferred him, Elijah hunts down the former doctors who made his life hell in search of answers. After chasing his next lead, however, Elijah accidentally rescues Zoe, a journalist locked in his target's trunk. He has no choice but to bring her and her roommate, Jake, along with him as he flees the city to avoid capture. But as he continues his search, Elijah struggles with the scars Lyca Corp. burned into him. He has no idea who or what he is; he doesn't understand the power raging inside his bodyーthe power Lyca Corp. desperately tried to pry from him. Why does he have an insatiable bloodlust? What does the whispering voice inside his head want? And why does he feel as though a huge part of him has been torn away? ❅ LGBTQ couples ❅ Grump x Sunshine ❅ Dystopian Urban Fantasy ❅ Word Count: 137,000 ─────────────────────────────────── ✵ Numenverse year: 1335 **April 2024 Editor's Pick **#3 in Werewolf 5/4/2024 **#1 in GayRomance 5/4/2024 2023 © Tate Csernis | | Series is exclusive to Wattpad</div></div></a></div><div class="vpF-u"><a class="z8BBy" href="https://www.wattpad.com/story/314734677-rise-of-the-crescent-moon" data-story-id="314734677" data-author-name="Egoulden"><div class="CYWKB" data-story-id="314734677"><img srcSet="https://img.wattpad.com/cover/314734677-80-k324530.jpg 1x, https://img.wattpad.com/cover/314734677-100-k324530.jpg 1.5x, https://img.wattpad.com/cover/314734677-144-k324530.jpg 2x, https://img.wattpad.com/cover/314734677-176-k324530.jpg 2.5x, https://img.wattpad.com/cover/314734677-200-k324530.jpg 3x" src="https://img.wattpad.com/cover/314734677-80-k324530.jpg" alt="Rise of the Crescent Moon by Egoulden"/></div><div class="ilPGN"><div><div class="a2P2Q" aria-hidden="true">Rise of the Crescent Moon</div></div><span class="sr-only">52 parts Complete Mature</span><div class="LKedo" aria-hidden="true"><div class="SPAwp _4BDAD" data-testid="icons"><svg width="14" height="14" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="var(--ds-neutral-100)" stroke-width="2" aria-hidden="true" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="HrgaO"><g><line x1="8" y1="6" x2="21" y2="6"></line><line x1="8" y1="12" x2="21" y2="12"></line><line x1="8" y1="18" x2="21" y2="18"></line><line x1="3" y1="6" x2="3" y2="6"></line><line x1="3" y1="12" x2="3" y2="12"></line><line x1="3" y1="18" x2="3" y2="18"></line></g></svg><span>52 parts</span></div><div class="_4uDN6"><div class="pill__pziVI solid-variant__RGER9 default-size__BJ5Po base-3-accent__Xrbrb square-shape__V66Yy"><span class="typography-label-small-semi">Complete</span></div></div><div><div class="pill__pziVI solid-variant__RGER9 default-size__BJ5Po base-4-accent__JqbdI square-shape__V66Yy"><span class="typography-label-small-semi">Mature</span></div></div></div><div class="qILPE">When Josephine returned to her home town after the death of her parents she was prepared to take a job at the local hospital. She wasn't prepared to run head first into her werewolf mate. She spent her entire childhood as the wolfless daughter of an Alpha who thought his own Luna was weak for not having a wolf. He sacrificed his pack and the legacy of his bloodline to ensure power for himself. Now, it's up to Josephine and her Alpha, August, to save their entire pack, but they aren't prepared for the war they just joined. "Mr. August Hayes was responsible for the cinnamon rolls and the smell of fall spices. If it wasn't his intense body language or the burning gaze staring into my soul giving it away, it would have been those electric blue eyes. The same ones that stole my sleep. I gulped. Why me? I squirmed uncomfortably in front of the panel as Dr. Grace led me to my chair. She was eyeballing me with a look that told me I had to pull it together. I sat down and quickly crossed my legs, trying to make myself smaller. Nurse Kasey was smirking at me, giving me a knowing look. Great, another one. I sighed through my mouth, careful not to inhale anymore of his scent. I had to get it together. I couldn't be the doctor from New York City who strolled into Little Compton hospital and made herself look like a complete idiot. I plastered on a smile."

However, death was interested in someone else that night. Del finds a murdered young woman, who soon rises from the dead as a zombie. Del is brought into a very special community living in happy isolation within the beautiful Whisper Valley. There creatures of myth and legend live together in harmony, following a strict set of rules that allow them to be who they are but also enjoy modern amenities like a steady Wifi connection and the latest smartphone. They all just want a normal life that's free from persecution by humans. For them, humans are instead seen as a commodity. Specifically they're known as the "Bodies" and they all have one year to either be sponsored or converted by one of the town's supernatural citizens. Del fills the vacancy left by the corpse in the woods, Calista Nightgrave. Calista should have been the next bride to a wealthy vampire, but instead she is a lowly zombie that's furious over the shift in her immortal afterlife. Both Del and Calista feel like something was stolen from them that fateful night, and they must work together to find the truth behind the death thief. *** Content Warning: Suicidal Ideation (Chapter 1: A Walk through the Woods) *** This is the first book in the Delilah Cross series. Books 1-4 are complete and available on Wattpad. Posting for the final book will begin March 2024. 1. The Death Thief 2. The Phantom Touch 3. The Blood Moon 4. The Bone Chapel 5.

WINNER 2023 | Sixteen-year-old Felix Carver carries the ghosts of magicians in his blood. He can communicate with them and use the magical abilities they wielded against monsters when they were alive. His newfound power would be pretty cool, if the ghosts in question weren't his family and the man who killed them. \n\nDeath doesn't stop Felix's siblings from finding new ways to annoy him from beyond the grave, nor his parents from doing their best to protect him from the dangerous side of his new life. Felix learns that his family belonged to an organization of magicians called the Bright Guardians, while their killer was a part of the Guardian Uprising that tried to overthrow the organization eight years earlier. The Bright Guardians take Felix in, hoping they can train him to fight monsters and control the ghosts living inside of him. \n\nFelix barely understands the magical world his family kept secret from him, but he does make friends with other odd cases at the Bright Academy. Troublemaker Arisa Tamura is struggling to control her ability to animate objects while under the influence of cursed bracelets, while the smart but reserved Mason Briggs is a witch who was transformed into a demon as a last resort to save his life.\n\nTogether, the three of them realize that Uprising spies are still hiding among the Guardians. They have no idea who they can trust, but they do know who they can't: a Guardian named Ernest Abernathy, who stole a powerful wand from Mason's parents before killing them. Felix, Mason, and Arisa must construct a plan to steal back the wand without any help. If their plan fails, Ernest will turn the Guardians against them and have them locked up, or executed. If they succeed, they'll have one more weapon in the fight against the Uprising's army. Either way, the approaching war is inevitable.\n\nBe warned this book contains death, violence, and an above average amount of spiders.","keywords":"dark,darkacademia,demons,fantasy,ghost,magic,paranormal,supernatural,texttospeech,urbanfantasy,wattys2022,werewolf,witch,witchcraft,Fantasy","title":"A Drop Of Haunted Blood [REMOVING FOR PUBLICATION DEC 1] [WATTYS WINNTER 2023]","image":"https://img.wattpad.com/cover/285381081-256-k453670.jpg","banner":"https://www.wattpad.com/banner?id=285381081\u0026v=470000","facebook":false,"twitter":false,"apple":false,"pinterest":false,"googlePlus":false,"otherCrawler":false,"deeplink":{"ios":"wattpad://story/285381081","android":"wattpad://story/285381081"},"story":{"votes":1352,"author":"Rory North","category":"Fantasy","tags":[{"id":"dark","name":"dark"},{"id":"darkacademia","name":"darkacademia"},{"id":"demons","name":"demons"},{"id":"fantasy","name":"fantasy"},{"id":"ghost","name":"ghost"},{"id":"magic","name":"magic"},{"id":"paranormal","name":"paranormal"},{"id":"supernatural","name":"supernatural"},{"id":"texttospeech","name":"texttospeech"},{"id":"urbanfantasy","name":"urbanfantasy"},{"id":"wattys2022","name":"wattys2022"},{"id":"werewolf","name":"werewolf"},{"id":"witch","name":"witch"},{"id":"witchcraft","name":"witchcraft"},{"name":"Fantasy"}]},"structuredData":"{\"@context\":\"http://schema.org\",\"@type\":\"Article\",\"about\":\"Fantasy\",\"author\":{\"name\":\"Rory North\",\"url\":\"https://www.wattpad.com/user/auroraanorth\"},\"accountablePerson\":{\"name\":\"Rory North\",\"url\":\"https://www.wattpad.com/user/auroraanorth\"},\"copyrightHolder\":{\"name\":\"Rory North\",\"url\":\"https://www.wattpad.com/user/auroraanorth\"},\"copyrightYear\":\"2021\",\"dateCreated\":\"2021-09-17\",\"datePublished\":\"2021-09-17\",\"dateModified\":\"2024-10-17\",\"description\":\"WATTYS WINNER 2023 | Sixteen-year-old Felix Carver carries the ghosts of magicians in his blood.

Del finds a murdered young woman, who soon rises from the dead as a zombie.\n\nDel is brought into a very special community living in happy isolation within the beautiful Whisper Valley. There creatures of myth and legend live together in harmony, following a strict set of rules that allow them to be who they are but also enjoy modern amenities like a steady Wifi connection and the latest smartphone. They all just want a normal life that's free from persecution by humans.\n\nFor them, humans are instead seen as a commodity. Specifically they're known as the \"Bodies\" and they all have one year to either be sponsored or converted by one of the town's supernatural citizens. Del fills the vacancy left by the corpse in the woods, Calista Nightgrave. Calista should have been the next bride to a wealthy vampire, but instead she is a lowly zombie that's furious over the shift in her immortal afterlife.\n\nBoth Del and Calista feel like something was stolen from them that fateful night, and they must work together to find the truth behind the death thief.\n\n*** Content Warning: Suicidal Ideation (Chapter 1: A Walk through the Woods)\n\n*** This is the first book in the Delilah Cross series.
