I ‘borrow’ from Amazon by making use of the Kindle books that my friends and family have purchased in abundance. I can add their Kindle books to my own ‘Family Library’ and then ‘lend’ them for two weeks (among other things). This is a ‘feature’ of Amazon that not many people are aware of and it is perfect for single reads.
Sometimes books are published for lending to friends and family, and you can check for these on the book’s product page by looking under ‘Actions’ to see if there is a ‘Loan this book’ link. This isn’t free in the limitless sense, but free in that it means you get to read the book for free if someone else already owns it.

That mood, though. I spent an hour or so scouring the internet for a clean free read of that story before I gave up and headed to Webnovel instead. As it stands, they have plenty of free chapters to read, and you can even do it with the daily passes – just be prepared to watch an ad or two, or wait for the passes to refresh. It’s not exactly a completely free read, but it’s the official way to get free chapters, so it’s got to be better than the unofficial sites, which are a right old mess of pop-ups, missing chapters, and wonky formatting. Best bet is to wait patiently for an official app to come out for your phone, then you can have a decent free read without the risk of malware. Just set a reminder to grab your daily passes, and you can read a few chapters a day.
Just set a reminder to grab your daily pass(es) and you can spend hours reading the story for free.

Be aware that webserials take you on a rollercoaster of emotions. You invest in the characters and the story, but it can be put on hold indefinitely. So far I only start stories that are marked as ‘Complete’ on the respective platform. Even then sometimes the ending is rather hastened. So before you start searching and reading ‘The Alpha’s Contract’ for hours, please verify the status of the story first. If it is an ongoing story and the last update was more than a year ago, for example, be prepared for disappointment.
Even though it would be nice to have closure with our characters, the comment section can become an amusing space where readers continue the story in their own way. They come up with their own imaginative endings and this can even become more entertaining than the actual story.

I’ve been looking for ‘Alpha’s Shadow’ ever since a friend mentioned it. It might be a webcomic hosted on Lezhin or Tappytoon since it seems to contain quite mature themes. You can also search NovelUpdates for text-based versions and see if they’re translated, and if they’re licensed.
Other paranormal fanmade works I’ve looked into can often be found on Discord servers for such fiction, hosted on Google Drive or other forums for the work. (Of course, if it’s a webwork behind a legit site’s paywall, support the creator on their Patreon, or purchase chapters of the completed work — but oh, half the fun is searching for it anyway!).

I have seen so many memes about this book, I might just have to read it to see for myself what all the hype is about.

yes that would be nice, but I guess we will just have to wait for that as the main couple cant even have a normal conversation without this intense yearning going on. A sequel would probably just be them staring at each other for 300 pages with the rest of the pack rolling their eyes at them. I would read it though.
No. The author has probably gone off to write another new magical creature novel (this time with dragons instead of xainos). That’s just the way web novels work – we become attached to the characters and then they are completed and we beg the author for more, but he or she has moved on to something else.

Amazon Kindle Unlimited offers ‘Bitten by Fate’ amongst other related works. Read it for free with the Amazon Kindle Unlimited free trial month. You can also look for ‘Bitten by Fate’ on library apps like Hoopla and request it from your local library. I found this book whilst trawling through #ShifterRomance tags on Goodreads and comments on the Goodreads page for the book often include links to obscure sites hosting the work.

Because this is a Radish story, my free reading experience is going to be somewhat fragmented. You can read the first batch of chapters immediately and then hit a paywall after that. You can then either buy coins to read more or wait 24 hours to get a free “key” to read one more chapter. I haven’t been able to find this book on any of the reputable free ebook sites (such as Project Gutenberg) or on library apps for your phone or tablet (such as Libby). There are aggregator blogs that post lists of “free novels” but these are generally spammy and contain links to download “free” novels that will fill your device with malware. It’s really frustrating but, in order to read this, you have to play along with the Radish system. Essentially it’s a free premiere of a serialized TV show and then you have to subscribe to keep watching.

It’s a romance written in the classic structure of two opposing goals, that of Elara to attain her desire for freedom and autonomy, and that of Kael to bring stability to the pack and to fulfill his sense of duty. The plot forces the two opposing goal-seekers to work together. As they work together their goals slowly converge to the one new goal of protecting their union and the pack. This is the main character journey and the plot of the story.
This is a great character arc for a romance novel – two people who are initially opponents to each other’s goals are now allies working together to achieve new goals for both of themselves and their union. So even though I can list out the plot points for the whole story, the story is really just a mapping of how Elara and Kael’s goals change from ‘me vs. you’ to ‘us vs. the world’. It is a very satisfying, and timeless, character arc.

Are there other people out there feeling like we're drowning in a sea of web fiction apps, and each time someone new is suggested for reading a particular story, we just roll our eyes and say "Ugh, not another app for reading stories"... Webnovel, Radish, Kindle, AO3 are the four apps that I'm currently using for reading stories online, and I really don't want another app to be added to that list to consume even more of my battery and to send me even more notifications. I wish web fiction was more like it used to be and we could just go to a single website and read a particular story there. But as it is now, web fiction is pretty Balkanized. My answer to "Where can I read that?" is usually, "I don't know, and I'm not downloading another app to find out."
I'd just read something else on that platform. There's plenty of other content. Apps prey on the fear that you're missing out on a particular story, and sometimes you just have to let it go and discover something new in your existing library of content.
