A Wild Sheep Chase

MAGNUS CHASE has seen his share of trouble. Ever since that terrible night two years ago when his mother told him to run, he has lived alone on the streets of Boston, surviving by his wits, staying one step ahead of the police and truant officers. One day, Magnus learns that someone else is trying to track him down-his Uncle Randolph, a man his mother had always warned him about. When Magnus tries to outmaneuver his uncle, he falls right into his clutches. Randolph starts rambling about Norse history and Magnus’s birthright: a weapon that has been lost for thousands of years. Stories about the gods of Asgard, wolves, and Doomsday bubble up from Magnus’s memory. But he doesn’t have time to consider it all before a fire giant attacks the city, forcing him to choose between his own safety and the lives of hundreds of innocents. . . . Sometimes, the only way to start a new life is to die. ______________________________________________________ Creds to the original author Rick Riordan, transferring the book onto Webnovel just helps me read the actual book.

In a world where beasts rule the wilds and humans survive by their grace, one outcast holds a forbidden power—and it might doom or save them all. Kael was born without the warrior’s strength his clan revered. Branded a failure in his village of beast-tamers, he’s mocked for lacking even the simplest bond with a wolf or hawk. But when Kael stumbles upon a dying creature of moonlight and starlight in the cursed Eternal Wilds, he awakens an ancient pact: the Eternal Bond, a mark that lets him commune with Legendary Beasts, primordial guardians long thought extinct. Now, hunted by the Eclipse Order—a shadowy cult twisting beasts into weapons of conquest—Kael must master bonds with creatures of storm, sea, and celestial fire. But these aren’t mere companions. Arrax, the lightning-wreathed Storm Wolf, demands Kael’s courage. Lyranna, the Leviathan of the Abyss, tests his empathy. And the Void Phoenix, a cosmic force of annihilation, whispers that power is best taken, not earned. As Kael uncovers the Eclipse Order’s horrifying goal—to merge their leader with the Void Phoenix and devour the world—he’s torn between his destiny as the First Beast Master and the corruption gnawing at his soul. To save the realms, he must unite fractured kingdoms, befriend enemies, and confront a chilling truth: the cult’s ruthless leader is his own sister, Veyra, stolen by darkness years ago. But the deeper Kael ventures into the Wilds, the more the Legends’ voices drown out his humanity. Can he master the Trials of Harmony without becoming the monster the Eclipse Order craves? Or will the bond that saves the world finally break him? Why You’ll Love This Story: Epic Beast Battles: Storm Wolves vs. Shadow Hydras, Leviathans vs. Sky Serpents.

'Am I hallucinating? Am I dying?' Marx thought. Perhaps he was seeing visions because he was feverish, and his head ached from the contusions he suffered during the crash. He blinked, but the vision was still there. He saw a beautiful woman fully naked on the edge of the other side of the spring. Her slightly wavy hair with the color of copper cascaded freely down her slim waist. She raised her arms and dived cleanly into the water. Marx waited, but after some time, she did not emerge. Marx chuckled. How could a woman be in a jungle in the middle of nowhere?" He heard a growl from behind him, and before he could react, a big tiger pounced on him. The last thing he remembered was seeing four canines closing in and hearing a loud female voice shouting, "Khalil, stop!" … Discover how Amaya, who grew up in the wild, coped with the pressure and challenges of returning to the civilized world.

IMPORTANT This is only a sample. i have signed a contract with webnovel and the story will be up after editing in a short while here under the same title. Here is the link to the full book. https://www.webnovel.com/book/little-girl's-wild-side_21129307106524005### Gautham bend down to bury his head on Sindhu's shoulders and said, " Will you say 'Yes' already!" What surprised Sindhu was the tinch of desperation in his voice. How did Gautham end up feeling so much for her in a matter of a month??? Even Gautham did not know how desperate he was to make her his. Just now when he saw Sindhu make such adorable face, he felt something break inside him at the thought that she will be showing such faces to someone else if she ended up marrying someone else. "Its driving me crazy you know. The things that you are making me feel.", Gautham said with a slightly annoyed voice. Sindhu did not say anything. She just tightened her hold around him and stayed in his embrace. After a while, Gautham finally let her go. He took one last look at her face, quickly said his bye and left. He feared if he stayed any longer, he would start begging her. ........................................ This is my first work. So i hope people can give it a shot. But this one is going to be very different from the stories you would have seen in here. They are literally worlds apart. There is no backstabbing ex or a greedy relative or a dark haunting past. This is a pleasant light love story of two people facing arranged marriage. A slightly messed up wild woman and a very normal clumsy man. the story should have about 60 chapters and the whole story for most parts is complete. So it wont get dropped in the middle. Hope you like it.

In 3083, humanity shares its world with monsters and beasts that emerged after a catastrophic event known as the Awakening. This otherworldly rift brought not just terror, but also Awakeners humans who gained powerful abilities in the wake of the beasts’ arrival. But with these powers came chaos, violence, and a society struggling to adapt to the new order. San Vasquez, a 21-year-old lawyer, is one of the few willing to face this new world head-on. A product of both tragedy and resolve, San’s life was shattered when his parents were killed by an out-of-control Awakener, and his siblings vanished into the broken welfare system.

Along the way, San will cross paths with several powerful awakeners, each carrying their own baggage and motivations. Some will be allies, others enemies, but all will challenge him in ways he’s not prepared for. As his journey grows more complicated and his enemies close in, San must decide: can he remain a man of the law in a world where power often speaks louder than justice?

With dark humor, brutal action, and complex relationships, this is a tale of one man’s struggle to hold onto his humanity while navigating a world overrun with monsters, both human and beastly.

I’ll need a few minutes to recover from the tragedy” she said her tone full of emotions, but her face was contrast of those emotions, she lifted the hem of her dress and marched out of the mansion without giving a f**k about the lady who was yelling from behind.

Say hello to Sonia and Bryan. Sonia's heart stopped beating for a second, and then different thoughts started flying right through her head at that same time. Bryan Hank? Her celebrity crush was kneeling right in front of her and asking her to be his wife? Was he mistaking her for someone? Was it possible this was a skit, or maybe this was like one of those celebrity pranks, and there were cameras around, waiting to capture her make a fool of herself? Or perhaps she was dreaming? Sonia wondered as she looked around them, but all she saw were curious onlookers. "Please! Be my wife and make me the happiest man on Earth," He said in a very loud voice that caught the attention of everyone. Her editor who she had been waiting on for over an hour because he was trying to sign a deal with a movie producer who was interested in one of her stories, showed up at that moment, "Sonia, you know Bryan Hank?" Her editor asked in genuine surprise as he watched the scene before him. It seemed like an hour had passed since Bryan went on his knees, but it had only been a minute. Bryan knew no lady would be crazy enough to accept such a crazy proposal, and even if any were, paying her off and calling off the whole thing would be easy since all he wanted was the scandal that could come from this. The headlines were either going to be about his rejected Marriage proposal or his supposed engagement, which would be enough to let Sophia off the hook. "Yes!" Sonia said as she bobbed her head excitedly and extended her finger for him to wear her the ring. "Yes?" Bryan asked in confusion when he heard her response. "Yes! I will be your wife and make you the happiest man in the world!" Sonia said with a giggle and wiggled her fingers until Bryan slid the ring down her finger. Surprisingly the ring was her exact size, and it sat on her finger like it was made just for her. The sound of applause erupted all around them as Sonia stood up with a big smile on her face and embraced Bryan before kissing him right on the lips. Bryan was slightly taken aback by her boldness but quickly recovered since this was his game, and he had to play along. He was the one who had approached her first, after all. So when she tried to break the kiss, he held her chin and slowly nibbled on her lower lip before parting her lips with his tongue and sucked on it in a teasing manner, eliciting a moan from Sonia. Sonia felt light-headed. This was too good to be true. It just had to be a dream. How else could she explain that one moment she was seated at the lobby of a hotel waiting for her editor, and the next she was engaged to her celebrity crush and was kissing him right here in the open?
