"You're not here to fall in love." "Trust me, sir... I don't even know what that means." She was sold like a possession-traded away by the very people who were supposed to protect her.

And soon, his heart becomes the final one to break. 🎯 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐫𝐞 Genre: Romance / Drama / Slow Burn / Hurt-Comfort Age rating: 16+ (emotional abuse themes, mature emotional content)

Sadie spent twelve years watching other kids get chosen-while her real family lived in comfort without her. When a social worker uncovers the oversight that kept her in foster care, she's sent back to the father who lost her through a bureaucratic error, and the four brothers who never stopped missing her. But returning doesn't erase abandonment. Sadie is furious. Her brothers are relieved but resentful. And her father carries a guilt that threatens to break them all. Home is a battlefield of memories and unspoken blame, and forgiveness is not guaranteed. Yet beneath the anger lies love, waiting-unsteady, uncertain, but still alive. Healing takes time. Trust takes longer. But after everything, Sadie may finally learn what it means to be wanted.

She spent her life waiting for a father's love that never came. Now, after losing everything, he's the one trying to save her. Seventeen-year-old Ava Delaney thought she understood pain-until she learned the truth. Her mother trapped her father with a pregnancy he never wanted. Her father built a new family without her. And when Ava begged him to forget she existed, he did. Months later, bruised and broken in a hospital bed after a violent night, Ava opens her eyes to find him there-the man who left her behind. But love doesn't heal overnight. Moving in with her father's perfect new family only opens new wounds: a kind stepmother who doesn't know how to help, a sweet little sister who adores her, and a half brother who hates her on sight. As Ava struggles to rebuild her life, she finds solace in Liam, the school's notorious bad boy who sees the pain she hides. But forgiveness isn't easy-not for her father, not for her brother, and not for herself. When buried secrets resurface, Ava must decide whether to keep running from the past or face it head-on-and whether broken hearts can still learn how to love. A story of family, forgiveness, and first love-The Unwanted Daughter is a heart-wrenching emotional romance about what it means to be seen, to be chosen, and to finally belong.

Coming from a traditionalist family who believes that an Omega's only place is beneath the heel of an Alpha, Abby is given to an Alpha to carry out a terrifying plot against some members of the Omega Security Force. When she is sent to Sanctuary to recover and find a new direction to her life, she plans to figure out her life without ever involving an Alpha, but when her family refuses to let her go, an Alpha who has sworn to never mate is the only thing standing between her and a return to her hellish past. When the Omega who has sworn off Alphas and the Alpha who never wanted a mate finally meet, what happens when their instincts call to the very basest part of their existence? Note: While set in the same world as Alpha Lost, this story - by its very nature - has some darker undertones as Abby comes from a place where Omegas are treated as objects whose value is only as property. Just be warned there may be some triggering moment in this story. UPDATED TO ADD: There are definitely some dark moments. It's gone darker than I thought it would. Abby was abused terribly, and it's not all "off-screen." Mind your mental health and beware of possible triggers.
