-"They might scold you, tease you, and overstep your boundaries, but overprotective brothers love louder than words can say."- In the heart of New York City, fifteen-year-old Callen Smith hides his struggles behind a smirk and a reputation for causing trouble. His rap sheet is almost as long as the Brooklyn Bridge, but beneath the chaos is a boy battling demons no one seems to see. That is, until a twist of fate drops him into the lives of five overbearing brothers he never knew existed-brothers who, despite their controlling ways, might just be the family he never knew he needed. Torn between chaos and newfound care, can Callen face his inner demons and embrace the family he needs? Or will he be stuck as a lost boy hidden in the shadows of his past? Read "Shadows of the Past" By me, to see what happens next. ..................................................................... ⚠️might have slow updates⚠️ ...RE-EDITING IN PROGRESS...

Grayson is one more teenager who announced trouble by mere looks, breaking every rule on his path with a home he dreaded returning to after school and would sometimes walk the street wishing he never made it back. He worked too many jobs to pay a debt he knew nothing of, and as an orphan, he did too many things without thinking and he was used to accepting severe consequences, however, things began to change when his custody was transferred to his uncles. He gets to be in a family with other kids, and he can't help but wreak havoc that he very much enjoyed, unfortunately, his new environment offered more scrutiny and discipline even if it required a hardcore old-school punishment and a tough love. Will he ever fit? Or must he face the old home he dreaded, again?
