In the quiet village of Draphang, life moves at its own slow, peaceful pace. Suya, an energetic schoolgirl, spends her days running through familiar streets, laughing with friends, and finding comfort in the warmth of home. But on one fateful evening, the skies darken too soon, the winds shift with an unnatural force, and an eerie stillness creeps through the valley. A warning from a senior student. A desperate call from her father. A monstrous roar echoing through the silence. Something is coming. Something ancient. Something beyond human comprehension. And when it arrives, the fate of the world will be at stake. Because some legends are not just stories. Some awaken. And some... are destined to rise.

"I'll be taking her now, Giovanni." Who is this man? And where is he taking me? I kick and scream till my lungs give out. "It's no use Lisa. I suggest you behave now." Right like his suggestions are any less than god himself. --- She was born a Castellano. But she refuses to die one. Lisa Castellano is done being a pawn in her family's twisted Mafia game. She's ready to run, to disappear, to finally breathe on her own terms. But freedom has a price. And his name is Lorenzo Romano-cold, calculating, and lethal enough to offer her a deal she can't refuse: his protection, in exchange for something far more dangerous than loyalty. Her heart. He never meant to fall. She never meant to be caught. But in a world of blood debts and broken vows, love might be the most dangerous game of all. --- A Mafia Romance

[2025 Wattys Shortlist] After getting cut off by her wealthy, business-obsessed parents, Emily Grayson finds herself broke, stranded in a small town, and working at a boba café, something she never imagined in her wildest dreams. Her first days on the job are a disaster, her patience (and Jake Sherlind's) running thinner than the tapioca pearls she keeps burning. Jake, the charming yet hardworking guy with big dreams, has no patience for entitled rich girls who don't know how to hold a job. But when Emily starts proving him wrong, their tension brews into something neither of them expected. Between spilled drinks, late-night confessions, and an orange stray cat that won't leave the back door, Emily begins to wonder... maybe losing everything was exactly what she needed to find herself. A small-town rom-com about growth, second chances, and love that's better steeped with time.

A deconstruction of dark romance set within a psychological thriller, wrapped in an erotic horror story, inside an urban fantasy setting, infused with sci-fi elements, and sprinkled with plenty of nerdiness. I can't guarantee you'll like it, but you definitely haven't read anything like it before. Fair warning - the erotic horror elements are pretty hard. ------ Samantha is ambitious, determined, and strong - a habitual overachiever. But happy? Never. She returns to her hometown and her old best friend, hoping for a weekend of respite, perhaps even a fresh start. Instead, she finds herself thrown into mortal danger, left hovering one breath from death. But survival is only the beginning. Saved by a man whose intentions are anything but clear, Samantha undergoes a procedure far worse than dying, losing herself, layer by agonizing layer. She awakens in the Bright Room reborn - a mystery, both to her captor and herself. To reclaim her life, she must confront impossible questions. Is freedom worth becoming a monster? Can she exact vengeance on the one who saved her? And does she truly want to? For you if you love: Strong, complex women who never back down; moral ambiguity; intense psychological drama; power struggles; trauma explored deeply; twisted relationships that make typical love/hate dynamics look tame. Not for you if: You're young or easily triggered - this story doesn't look away when bad things happen. Note: the cover is temporary, working on a proper one (though similar). ----------- If you are reading this story on any other platform other than Wattpad you are very likely to be at risk of a malware attack.

His days once started with grueling physical training and drills with his cricket team. He's mature beyond his years, carrying the weight of his dreams with a quiet resolve. Kavya is poised and graceful; the princess of her family. Her mornings used to be spent reigning in her older brother's chaos, a gentle anchor in a stormy household.

Now, on the cusp of adulthood, all three find themselves trying to forge new paths. Letting go of the innocence of adolescence, they face the messy beauty of growing up-navigating complicated feelings, fractured loyalties, and the fragile, enduring truth of love, friendship, and family. Raabta isn't just any connection; it's a fated, almost cosmic tie between souls. It's that ineffable thread that draws two people together across time, silence, distance, or even pain. A sense of knowing without speaking. Of understanding without explanation. Of belonging that doesn't demand possession.

Juniper Wolff's suspicions are first raised when the mad rantings of a target reference her murdered mother, and it's not long after that her worries are mirrored by the rest of Pardus following a frightening episode in the medic wing of Fyddin Seminary. With their very beliefs brought to the chopping block, Pardus Caterva struggle to come to terms with the cards they have been dealt, but the lessons of a lifetime ensure they're in agreement on one thing: that no matter what happens next, they'll do the right thing.
