Riley doesn't remember the last time someone asked if she was okay. Not really asked. Not in the way that meant they were going to stay for the answer. She is seventeen years old and she has already learned the most important lesson this town has to offer - that people leave. They leave with promises folded neatly in their pockets, with good intentions they fully mean at the time, with duffel bags and bus tickets and fifteen days that turn into three years without a single word. They leave, and the ones left behind learn to stop waiting by the window. They learn to stop setting an extra plate. They learn to breathe around the absence until the absence just becomes the air. Riley works the late shift. She carries drinks to tables without being asked twice. She doesn't flinch at loud voices anymore. She doesn't cry at things that used to make her cry. She has become very good at being invisible in a room full of people - and even better at being invisible to herself. This is not the life she imagined. But it is the life she has. And she has made her peace with it, quietly, the way you make peace with things you never had a choice about. She is not waiting for anyone anymore. She stopped doing that a long time ago. Until the night a familiar face walks through the door - and three brothers who left her behind must now face what their absence built. Because blood doesn't forget. And neither does Riley.

Olivia's estranged father is dead. It's time for her to move back to Las Vegas to be with her twin and five older half-brothers... but they don't want her. Just like her mother and stepfather. ~~~ The patriarch of the D'Angelo crime family is dead. His eldest son and heir, Donatello D'Angelo may control a third of Las Vegas, but his family is falling apart. Second son Dante D'Angelo does nothing more than what Donatello tells him. His next brother Ares might be a psychopath. Irish twins Salvatore and Leone are becoming increasingly more codependent. His youngest brother Romeo is acting out more than ever before. Then there's Olivia. His father may have wanted nothing to do with his only daughter, but Donatello is determined to take care of her the same way he's taken care of his brothers since he was a teenager. Only, he underestimated how much hatred their father left in his brothers' hearts. If his brothers have their way, Olivia will never be a true D'Angelo. ~~~ Past / Current Top Rankings: #1 in adorable #1 in mafiaprincess #1 in babysister #1 in half-siblings #1 in overprotective #1 in disassociation #1 in neglected #1 in brokenfamily #1 in babyofthefamily #2 in littlesister #2 in onlygirl #2 in overprotectivebrothers #3 in olderbrother #3 in olderbrothers House of Sins: Envy, Part I © 2026 Dawnie888.

*THE ORIGINAL EMMALINE - BUT WATTPAD TOOK IT DOWN * Emmaline Black is no stranger to abuse, or to torture of any kind from her loving mother, and the men she is often sold to, despite how rich her mother is. Despite everything she's been through, it's a miracle she's alive. Through it all, Emmaline's learned to conceal her feelings, to repress them, to repress her memories, so she won't get caught up in it. All her life, she has built walls, to protect her heart. But one day, her mother dies, and she finds out she has older brothers, four older brothers. Only one of them likes her, while two of them hate her, and she can't doesn't know about her oldest brother. A life with her older brothers brings so many unexpected changes. Not used to having people care for her, people tolerating her existence, Emmaline's determined to keep a lid on her past, and not have everything known. But it's kind of hard when her past seems to catch up with her, and connect with her present. Also, there's something up with her brothers. She just knows. They think she doesn't know. But she does. But despite that, there's something about her brothers that makes her warm up to them slightly.

Isabella Ferrari has always been the quiet one. In a family full of loud laughter, big personalities, and five protective brothers, she is the soft voice in the corner, the gentle smile behind a book, the girl who still keeps a teddy bear tucked in her bag. She feels everything deeply-maybe too deeply. And in a world that celebrates confidence and noise, Isabella begins to wonder: Is there something wrong with being gentle? When one unexpected moment shatters her already fragile confidence, Isabella starts to believe her softness makes her small-unseen, unheard, and unimportant. But sometimes, it takes being broken to learn where you truly belong. A story about quiet strength, the power of tenderness, and the love of a family who always knew that Isabella didn't need to change- She only needed to be seen.

Elorai. They burnt my lab to the ground. They killed my scientists... with their claws. The white, pristine walls they coated with blood and brain matter. Now they're glaring down at me, teeth bared. But they won't kill me. No... they'll take me instead, keep me in a cage, and bind me forever to them. Joke's on them. They're insane if they think I won't claw my way out. * Ronan. Knox. Lucas She was our target-the one we were sent to kill. And that's what we originally planned to do. But we had her beneath our teeth, and instead of pleading for her life, she fucking glared at us. Daring us. Worst part? Our alpha wills weren't working. Her scent bothered our wolves. So we changed our minds. We'll keep her... for now. And kill everyone who tries to take her from us. **** Elorai-or "Lo," like her scientist buddies called her-was just fine, living her life as a test subject for her white-coated handlers, getting cut open and sewn back together, until one day they looked at her and tagged her successful. That's when everything shattered. In an instant, her lab was destroyed and everyone she knew was killed. She tried to run, but her attackers caught her. Werewolves... or mad beasts, like her scientists called them. The plan was to kill on sight-but all three beasts looked down at her, their eyes gleaming... And something shifted in their gazes. That's when she knew she was in trouble.

One minute, Clara was walking home. The next, she was gone. Kidnapped off the street by three strangers-Ezra, Silas, and Lucian-she wakes up in a mansion too perfect to be real. Every room is tailored to her. Every meal, every hobby, every word-they knew everything. And now they expect her to play along in their twisted version of a family. They wanted her. To them, Clara is the missing piece. The daughter they've been waiting for. The one they've been preparing for. Every room is made for her. Every rule is meant to shape her. And every smile hides something sick. Ezra. Calm, calculating, always three steps ahead. No matter how careful Clara is, he sees through her. Every lie. Every escape attempt. Every flicker of rebellion. Silas is distant and cold, but dangerous in his silence. Silas keeps his distance-but when he looks at her, it's like he sees straight through. And Lucian... Lucian's the gentle one.The one who brings her hot chocolate with extra marshmallows and brushes her hair. The one who says this is all for her own good. Lucian is soft-spoken and kind... almost like he wants her to believe this could be real. But it isn't. They don't want her freedom. They want her obedience. Her love. Her role. They call it family. She calls it a nightmare. But if Clara wants to survive, she might have to play along. Even if it means pretending to love her captors. _________________________________________ Author's Note: This is a story I've been wanting to post and now I've finally done it.

My name's Aurora. Aurora Russo. And for a long time, I thought pain was normal. That love came with bruises. Then they happened- strangers who are my brothers. Loud. Cold. Angry. Yet somehow... they saved me. Not all at once. Not perfectly. But piece by piece, they pulled me out of the dark. This is the story of before them, and after. Of everything I lost. And everything I'm still trying to find. ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* ❀ *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ Nikita Gill once said, "The saddest word in the whole wide world is the word almost."

After years of silent suffering at the hands of those meant to protect her, she's finally free. She's shipped off to live with the only blood she has left: 7 older brothers she doesn't remember-hardened by violence, secrets, and a name feared in the underworld. What she doesn't know? They're part of the mafia. What they don't know? How to love her. Will they ever accept her as their sister?
