Raised in the Mafia, I have known no other life other than cold calculated violence and discipline. A life where brutality is praised and weakness is ridiculed, I became the best of my parents and the worst the world has ever seen. Young and still gaining control of my mafia, love is never an option for me, that is until one night at a Mafia ball where I spy a woman who has me to my knees. I want more, more, more. She's reckless and cunningly beautiful. Too good for me and yet the only one for me. We fight for survival and for each other because neither one of us will let go. ------------------------- I sat in the back, legs apart and looked at her with my head tilted. She licked her lips and squeezed though the front seats all the while looking at me. I pulled her towards me and she chuckled as she sat on my lap. Her legs were either side of me and her breathing was ragged. I ran my hand down her cheek and pulled her into me. I kissed her lips and soon our tongues whirled around. Hungry and rough. She held her head back and I began to plant rough kisses onto her beautiful neck. "Am I a bad influence?" She breathed. Her hands were on the back of my neck. I stopped kissing her and looked up at her. "Everyone needs a little bad in their lives." I whispered back making her smile. My hands found her waist and I noticed her short dress had ridden up exposing her thighs. She wore it to tease me and I loved it. Fuck, I loved her body. She breathed into my neck and I pulled off her dress in one slick motion. My hands were all over her back, feeling her, touching her. Her soft skin drove me crazy. ------------------------- BE AWARE: Trigger warnings: MATURE CONTENT 18+ (SMUT) SWEARING VIOLENCE/GUN VIOLENCE SELF HARM/SUICIDE (REFERENCES) EXPLICIT LANGUAGE REFERENCES TO RAPE SMOKING/ALCOHOL/DRUGS BLOOD/DEATH/GORE ©️ All rights reserved ™️ The Walnut Tree BOOK TWO OF THE MAFIA SERIES

{FIRST BOOK IN 'THE GIRL IN THE HOODIE' SERIES} {2014-2018} A girl moved to California two years ago. No one knows what she looks like. All they know is that she wears a hoodie. *~*~*~* "HOLY SHIT, NOAH! WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU LET THE TROLLEY GO?! COME BACK! OH MY FUCKING LIFE, FIZZY DRINKS UP AHEAD--" BANG FIZZ POP "...am I dead?" I'm suddenly grabbed by the back of my hoodie and pulled up from the ground and out of the mess of the opened bottles of fizzy which had exploded when the trolley and I crashed into them. My hands instantly go to my hood and I sigh in relief to find that it hadn't fallen off through all of that. I turn my head and look the the employee who's holding me, his face completely red and the vein in his neck throbbing. "Wassup, dude?" I smile sheepishly. *~* {HIGHEST RANKINGS: #1 in Funny #1 in Sad And #1 in Cancer apparently }

-COMPLETED- ~3 Years BEFORE Luna Hana~ The running never bothered her - she had run her entire life. From what? Nothing in particular...at least not that she could remember. The only real threats in her life were accidentally stumbling onto an Alpha's territory, or encountering a male rogue who was a disgusting prick. Although the first option seemed completely unfathomable, Lena Moretti's life as a rogue comes to a screeching halt when she finds herself inside the territory of the Polar Moon pack. Alpha Elijah Perrin of the Polar Moon pack is known to outsiders as "the cold one." No one was really sure why or how the Alpha had earned such a title, himself included. After all, didn't it seem a bit odd for someone rumored to be so heartless to search the seven packs high and low for years in pursuit of his beloved mate? Or perhaps not having his mate is what made him cold. When Lena and Elijah cross paths, both of their lives are thrown completely off balance. The two of them challenge each other's expectations and uncover truths that they never could've imagined.

Sophie never really thought that she was going to end up with Fitz, it was a friendly relationship they had, but she wanted more.

Team Foster-Keefe for the win! Some romantic oneshots for your single souls. Edit: I made this story quite a while ago! I look back on it and don't like a lot of my writing-it literally makes me cringe-and the reason I keep this story up is because of the immense support I have received. (Plus, so many people seem to really like it.) I'm really just asking for you to not judge all of my writing ability based off of this story, I wrote it a long time ago, and I would say that my writing is much improved now. With that being said, I hope you enjoy anyway!! All characters and world building belongs to Shannon Messenger, the author of Keeper of the Lost Cities.

Inside joke with me and my readers xD -- Sophie and Keefe dated all throughout high school as the school power couple and after a year of college they ended up getting married: but throughout all this Sophie kept a secret. She's smart. Not smart, like she gets A's and B's and her IQ was high enough to pass her first year of college. Smart, as in, she could memorize literally everything she looked at and was making straight A's in her college classes after high school. He knew she was smart with her taking AP classes back in high school, but he didn't know she was a nerd. -- This will include some of my original characters from my actual fan-fiction. I won't try and explain them so if you're wondering who the heck someone is, I'd recommend reading the fan-fic this is based off of xD

After two years of Keefe and The Vackers attending collage in Washington, of course Sophie was thrilled to see them again. While also introduce them all to The Twins. But when the first thing Fitz does is ask Sophie out, everything changes. It had been a week since Fitz had asked her out. Nothing had really seemed to change, besides for Fitzphie showing more than enough public affection. With everyone trying to act normal, it was even easier for Keefe to fake his smiles, and his laughs, and his feelings. Even Sophie's new friends agrees that Fitz is being unfair. But Keefe had fallen for so long, which only made it hurt worse, when he finally hit the ground... As Keefe falls deeper and deeper into his fake routine of laughs and jokes he starts to wonder what the point is to trying to put up with his feelings any longer. But feelings don't leave so easily, and unlike the rest of his life he can't fake them. While the his new and old friends try to make him see his life is still worth living for, and also trying to save Sophie from her toxic relationship. Keefe starts to wonder what it would feel like to actually fly, and eventually... fall. It had two weeks since Fitz had asked her out, and two weeks since Sophie had noticed something wasn't normal. She had been forcing her heart to flutter when Fitz was around, and trying even harder to earn herself his smiles. Yes Keefe still made jokes, but they seemed forced. Yes Tam was still just as sarcastic, but he seemed more confused than anything. While yes Dex still hung around her, but only when he had to. Even Biana and Lihn seemed colder around her now. Her friends had all seemed to turn against her. Saying Fitz wasn't the nicest person. Of course she ignored their claims. But as the days tick by Sophie wonders if she was wrong. While she realizes the scary truth. Theres something wrong with Keefe. But what? (This is set in the real world.) (Every character belongs to Shannon Messenger except the ones I create.)

I have ideas for some one shots, but there was one I decided to make a book (witch is this book) . I will make one with one shots later, but for now this is what I will be writing. Please read, comment and enjoy This is Keefe and Sophie's love story after she and Fitz break up. ***Theses characters are Shannon Mesanger's, not mine (unless I add one)***

Sophie Foster just wants life to return to normal after the Council issued her the circlet. However, once Magnate Leto announces that Foxfire will be holding a Formal Elvin Ball, things get complicated.... Enjoy this Keeper of the Lost Cities Fanfic! All characters belong to Shannon Messenger!
