Lyla James and Haiden Lucas are stuck in an endless cycle marked by fated encounters, tainted love, and tragic deaths. ***** In one hundred different realities, one thing remains constant; Lyla James always falls in love with Haiden Lucas. Their destinies are hopelessly entangled, and it's only a matter of time until Lyla bumps into Haiden and can suddenly recall memories from other lifetimes. The things she remembers, however, are a heavy burden to carry. What's the use of knowing a love that always ends in tragedy? For a chance at a happily ever after, however, Lyla is willing to risk it all...and risk it all again. Although she doesn't understand why history loves to repeat itself or why she and Haiden have been cursed by a fated cycle of love and death, she's determined to save a life. Save his life.

[FEATURED on @badassreads "The Rebels" reading list] [Book one of the "Brawl" trilogy] [Completed] Everywhere she steps, trouble follows; with her blonde hair, icy green eyes and confident stride. Amelia Clark-known for pranking teachers and students, causing unnecessary fights, and dragging innocent people down her path-encounters a shy, nerdy boy under the claws of the school's jock, and she can't help but step in to save the day. Seeing as this boy is defenseless against the world, she comes to the decision of teaching him self-defense. Secrets lie between them both, bringing their downfall as they continue their path. The past comes back to haunt her, and she has no other option than to face reality. Many feelings come invading her, betrayal being the most powerful one. But, who knows? Perhaps, betrayal isn't the only overwhelming feeling that finds her throughout their journey to trouble.

'Callista Alerdice'. The name sparks fear in one's heart. You hear it in hushed whispers, and see it in quivering eyes that dare not meet her gaze. She's a monster. Cross her path, and you'll be six feet underground before you can blink. And Elias, An Omega, is ... some guy. His pack bullies him for being a rogue descendant, and his foster parents don't like him, so that kinda sucks. He just keeps his head down and studies hard. All in all- he's about as interesting as an insect on the sidewalk. You can see, fate loved to screw him over. But still, it went way too far making him the mate of the rival pack's infamous Alpha! ~ Excerpt: "You should reject me." He whispered. A moment passed in silence. He kept glaring at the floor, because he didn't have the courage to look at her face. "Hmm..." Her tone was low and playful. Anxiety set in and he shivered, sinking further into the wall. "You were quite confident asking me to mark you. Why the change of heart?" Her hand snaked around his waist, nails gently digging into his lower back. It tickled. He squirmed "I...I like you, but... They'll kill me to get to you. R-Rejecting me would hurt a lot less than my death and..." He laughed nervously, "I'm just not worth the troubl-" "That's for me to decide, Elias." She cut in sharply, all playfulness gone. He gasped as he was pushed further into the wall, her body pressing against him and one of her legs between his. No space to breathe- or escape. Crap- She was definitely mad at him now, wasn't she? "Look at me." He hesitantly raised his violet eyes to meet her hypnotising gold. She looked pleased for some reason. Not breaking eye contact, her finger traced her mark on his collarbone. He jolted and tore his eyes away, trying to ignore the heat coiling in his gut. "Nobody else can touch you as long as I'm here. Understood?" ~ Current chapters: 23/45 (Gonna edit this when I finish writing it lol) (This work is only available on Wattpad) Enjoy~

He's mine and no one else's. Scarlett R. Hyde, the sole descendant of the purest and strongest demon bloodline, The Hydes. Born with a silver spoon in her mouth, blessed with powers others would kill for, and a face that would make anyone fall at her heels, she was a child kissed by fate. Even perfection wants to be her. However, if one have to point out a flaw in her, that would be her emotional detachment. Since young, her methods of dealing with situations were purely cold-hearted that even caused the elders to frown, especially with her signature angelic smile on while taking care of the unease the most cruesome way possible. Taught to fight for what she wants no matter the cost, she chose him - a boy assumingly her polar opposite. Thus, the collision between the Sun and the Moon.
