RegularMisanthrope

Achilles is used to a life with rules and structure. Being attracted to men doesn't fit into what he considers structured. But he's used to burying things deep down, and this is just another item on the list. 

Xander crosses into his life, and he's completely outside the rules and the opposite of structure. Something about Xander makes Achilles' wolf sing, his blood jump and his heart soar, even if Xander is a man, even if he is a vampire. 

Innocuous meetings turn into a building attraction and Achilles wants to take the leap to be with Xander. Can he do it?

This is an entry for the open novella contest.

Feral | ✓ by HalstonCarter-Rose

**In the process of receiving much needed editing** Some wolves are born rogues but still maintain their human side while others are made into rogues, they lose all humanity and become feral. Gaius has been taught to kill feral rogues on sight. They're monsters who even the Moon Goddess can't love and don't deserve to live. Being the beta of the Dark Woods Pack, he's supposed to put the pack first and protect it at all cost. But when a feral rogue wanders close to pack territory, he can't bring himself to kill it. Why? Because that rogue is his mate. #2 in Werewolf #4 in LGBT #12 in Paranormal #2 in Feral

True Mates: The Beginning (mxm) by ViviAnneHunt

Connor has always known that he has a true mate out there and that he is male. Even when nobody believed him, he defended his mate. Even when his father wanted him to mate a good female breeder, Connor said no, staying true to his mate. The more years passed, the harder it was for Connor, who just wanted to find his true mate, once and for all. And when he finally turned up, it was a surprise for Connor to discover that his mate was not as excited about the bond as Connor himself. What will Connor do? No trigger warnings. Rated mature for minimal sexual content and language. Tropes: gay romance, fated/true mates, shifters, werewolves, opposites, age gap, slow burn. This story is completed, however, not finished entirely. This is just the beginning of Connor and Jamie's adventure, and if you want me to continue it, let me know. If not, the story can stand on its own as it is, without anything further. It's up to you. :)

AN OFFER SHE CAN'T REFUSE by JDRAVENX80

🐺🐺🐺🐺 **Shifter werewolf RH fantasy romance** BOOK 2 IN THE SHADOW REALM SERIES. Can be read as a standalone The Quads. They were four of the hottest, most cutthroat, ruthless, dangerously mysterious and brooding, hot as fire seductive fraternal quadruplets anyone had ever laid eyes on-especially at Malsum High. Sebastian, Quinn, Xander and Hudson Calhoun... Their money, good looks, and high society privileges gained them notoriety and the finest things in life-and they relished in it. Fast cars, fast money, and fast women were all they could think about until she came along. For a long time, they didn't even think she truly existed. The little lady who had no home-no life, one best friend, forced to work for her aunt and uncle as a servant just to make ends meet--couldn't be the one? Could she? When Sabrina Brewster is kicked out of her family's house right after graduation, the boys are all too eager to take advantage of this little lady-the one they bullied-the one they wanted to ruin--until they discovered her truth. They find her wandering the streets, luggage in hand-her cap and gown still clinging to her soaked body as the rain rushed over her. Getting her in the car and back to their home for a shower and a warm meal was the easy part... Making her theirs even after she discovers all of the secrets the Quads have been keeping? Well, they'd have to make Sabrina an offer she couldn't refuse. 🐺🐺🐺🐺 cover pic by Gayle Berry

Possessing Sydney's Heart (manxman|| lgbtq) by notbackingdown

My life has never been roses and sunshine. I could go on and on about how I grew up in a broken household, a junkie prostitute for a mother who pimped me out to every paying customer that didn't mind sleeping with a minor. But no, this is really about me finding family. Being better than the example my mother set for me. This is about forgiveness with some trials along the way like getting knocked up by my boyfriend's brother Angelo, having Angelo find out six years after the fact, Angelo wanting to play 'Daddy' and not to mention my job as an exotic dancer just to list a few. Come on... you know you want to find out the dirty details... %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Important My books are written explicitly for a MATURE AUDIENCE 18 YEARS AND OLDER.

Love, Mates and other Mistakes by LunaMller8

Being Mates could be so easy if it weren't for the fact that Viktor and George are as different as night and day. It also doesn't help that one is a Vampire prince and the other is the alpha werewolf. Will they be able to overcome there differences and get there happily ever after? !!! This story contains faul language and sexual relationships between men!!!! Disclaimer: I wrote this story when I was still learning English and haven't had the time yet to edit anything, so there are a lot of typos. If you want to read something with way less typos I highly recommend my other story called Plattenbau.

This book features gay relationships between three individuals that will evolve into a poly relationship. There will be explicit open-door scenes later on, thus the 'Mature' tag.

I Claim Your LOVE by rvik28

Callan has been a non-shifter his entire life. He was ridiculed and looked down upon. But with the help of his father and years of torture and training he proved himself worthy. Convinced that he would not have a mate, he is focused to serve the Alpha by becoming the Head Warrior of the Blue Moon Pack . It is the yearly carnival where Callan just stumbles upon his mate. Not only is his Mate a male but also he is already taken. Moreover the mate gives no acknowledgement to Callan. Einar has long known that his future status as the alpha depends solely on his acceptance of his mate. He cannot imagine a human or even a non shifter as his other half. His misery increases when he is paired with the most Handsome MAN of his pack. Einar decides to chose his people over his mate. However the beasts inside him wont have it. They would go to any length to win their mate and claim his LOVE.. ************* This is not your cliché story where the characters fall in love after two chapters. So brace yourself and enjoy the journey as the characters evolve and find their destiny. #4 in menxmen as on 7/11/2019 #1 in malexmale as on 13/08/2020 #3 in menxmen as on 13/08/2020
