He thought he loved her. But in his world, love meant waiting. Watching. Wanting. Mudassir has always been haunted-by his father's control, by years of silence, and by the memory of a girl from university who never knew him more than just an acquaintance. Post-graduation, still trapped in emotional ruin, he finds her again... but not the way he hoped. She's changed. She's moved on. She's engaged. But not him. To him, if it runs-it means chase. As obsession festers, therapy rooms turn into battlegrounds. Kindness is mistaken for invitation. And the line between affection and control begins to disappear. When the past claws its way back into the present, what can truly be salvaged-and what was never real to begin with? This isn't a typical love story, but a descent of obsession, projection, and the danger of trying to fit someone into the shape of your wounds. He didn't just fall in love with her. He built a life around wanting her. ... In the book cover, that's me lol and is made and photographed by me. ... ⚠️ Trigger Warning: This story contains depictions of mental illness (depression, anxiety, OCD, narcissistic traits), suicidal ideation, emotional abuse, death threats, substance use, and toxic family dynamics. Reader discretion is strongly advised. If you're struggling, know that help exists, and you are not alone. ❀️

"You wrecked me completely, Juliet. You ruined me for any other reality where you don't exist." Juliet Everly A scatterbrained physics student, she sees the world through rose-colored glasses. But there's a twist- she only believes in love as long as it's confined in book pages. She has already started designing her spinster cottage with Noah's ark worth of livestock that she's convinced she's going to need. Miles Cobain-Smith An aloof and detached logician with his head always in a book, he prides in his ability to be self sufficient and not needing anyone. Academic validation, family responsibilities, and drowning in his solitude sum up his life, and he certainly doesn't have time for love. Their paths cross. Clashing is inevitable, but there's something more... underneath the teasing remarks, stupid jokes, and laughter, an undercurrent too perplexing to decipher. When ignoring the spark becomes too much, their lives take a whole different turn. Hopes get crushed and hearts get broken as the unexpected hits like a whirlwind. Soothing ocean breezes, sounds of church bells in sleepy afternoons and two people who are definitely not looking for love- how long until the picture-perfect expectations crumble into a mess of feelings too hard to hold back? All we can say is, it will be something unforgettable. Featured on @romance @storiesundiscovered @YA

Indie is a college student, born and raised in Delaware and trying to find a new life in the small town of Whiteoak, Colorado. She is intelligent, witty and keeps to herself. She may sound average, but she's far from it. With the curse of telepathy, the voices of others thoughts she hears around her never seem to stop, causing her to isolate herself from those around her. When she moves to the small town, she expects everything to be normal - she will finish her schooling, work in a clichΓ© diner, and live her life as planned. However, when Indie meets Thaddeus, everything changes. He is strong, mighty, angry, and notorious for his ruthlessness. Although he never yearned for a mate, Indie's charismatic aura was much too strong to ignore. Indie's stubbornness is as tough as a padlock, but Thaddeus is determined to break in. *pictures used are not mine, no copyright intended *wonderful cover by: xxarachnidxx *inspired heavily by True Blood *story mentions some topics that may be disturbing/ triggering to others: sexuality, self-harm, graphic violence, and adult language. highest ranking: #1 in YOUNG ADULT #17 in ROMANCE #1 in STRENGTH #1 in WEREWOLF #2 in SUPERNATURAL

Featured on @Romance in the Young Love reading list. ❀️ Genre: Dark Romance/New Adult Unable to change her imperfectly plotted storyline, Michelle just couldn't when it was always the synonyms of the words that changed when she tried, but never the plot twists. The sadistic author like the clock hands, wrote fate with the strokes of the ticks, leaving no room for a change. And somehow, she was that book, tossed in a corner of a bookshelf, on which dust settled with time as a reminder of her unaccompanied presence. The frayed ends of the pages wore out from each time, a reader would come, and read whatever appealed to them, letting her go after the bad plotline of her first - past - chapters. That was where that bookmark stuck, somewhere midway between the chapters, mistaken as the end of the story. It paralysed her into a moment in time, with her unturned pages not letting her move on to the next, that was unless someone else did. And then he came. A reader who probably couldn't change the stroke of the pen of time, as much as she couldn't as a character in her story. But he didn't just read her either. From drawing stars on footnotes, and hearts as annotations on the margins, he highlighted and savoured her moments as if he didn't want to let go of them, just yet. He read and reread her over and over until he had memorised her enough. And somehow, she was someone's favourite book. The feelings of falling for each other happened to break into an artwork of mosaic in the end. But when broken puzzles finally fit each other, the formed picture doesn't always come off as expected. Disclaimer: This story contains mature themes and suicidal thoughts/actions, drug abuse, and mental disorders, that might be triggering for some readers, therefore reader discretion is advised. This book is affiliated with my poems, Our Elegies and Mismatch Flame.

Once upon a time, there was a werewolf king who sought to conquer all, who sought to conquer all that he could in hunger to fill his gaping hole of a heart. He ravaged packs, and rogues, turning all of them into his own kin. He was arrogant and felt that none could stop him... However, he was wrong. A witch named Gamora, placed a curse upon him and his kingdom that he shall forever remain bound to one kingdom alone and almost hidden completely from the rest of the world. He and his pack were cursed to be immortal and in 650 full moons if he had not found his mate, she had not have fallen in love with him, and he hadn't have changed, then by the time the last moon had risen he would forever be shifted into wolf form, and cursed to walk the land forever as a beast. Years went by until Amabelle Bonnet. It is discovered that Amabelle is mysteriously, and miraculously Dante's long-lost mate. A new hope is given to the pack, and more importantly to Dante who now has to make Amabelle fall in love with him. Easier said than done... Amabelle is stubborn, perhaps more than he is. She loathes Dante, blames him for robbing her of her family and she feels that she will always be a prisoner... Dante's mission is to prove her wrong, and he'd better hurry. There are only two more full moons left. Slowly but surely Amabelle realizes that there may be more to Dante than the beast he made himself out to be. Will Dante win the heart of his mate, or be lost to roam the earth as a monster for eternity? Find out in, "The Lonely King". ~β€’~ Book 1 of the Shadows, Roses and Ice Trilogy.
