"P-please," I whined, my core tightening as cramps ripped through me. His hand gripped my neck even tighter, and he tilted his head disapprovingly. "Please, Master," I corrected. "Good girl," he said, the approval washing over me. "You are well-informed on how to act. Prove it." ~~~~~ Acquiescence: the acceptance of something without protest. ~~~~~ Charity Ellis is an omega, but hasn't been one for long. Most omegas present on their eighteenth birthday, but she presented on her 23rd birthday. When her parents sell her to Halo, the hottest nightclub in town, she thinks her life is over--that she'll never find a pack to love her and will die of a broken heart. Until Halo's owners meet her and realize she's their mate. Xander Reign--the hitman. Ruthless, daring, decisive. Zade Orion--the face. Polished, charming, assertive. Marcel Vallius--head of security. Secretive, untrusting, cold. Matthias Cresson--second-in-command. Methodical, articulate, demanding. Atticus Hartwick--the boss. Calculating, quiet, unforgiving. Will Charity allow herself to be a part of their lives, or will her new life consume her entire being, leaving her in the dust? Will she gift them with acquiescence?

"Um, hi," I say, my voice quivering under their gazes. "Hello, little one," the leader -- Caspian -- says. "I think we're going to have a lot of fun, don't you?" ~~~~~ When Gwendolyn Sage waltzed into Whitmore Academy, she didn't expect her dorm to be placed next to the bad boys of the school.

Continue on this novelette written by me, a sixteen year old author, and in the perspective of our young adult girl.

For two long years, Morana's life has been a quiet torment. Trapped in a loveless and brutal arranged marriage to Kaiser, a man as cruel as he is entitled, she has endured his possessive grip for the sake of a fragile alliance between their packs. But with an unwanted pregnancy, the stakes are raised, and the suffocating pressure of her new role threatens to break her completely. As Kaiser's mistreatment only deepens, a spark of defiance ignites within her-a spark long thought extinguished by her own submission and her pack's loyalty. She has been told to bend, to break, but a young wolf woman can only be pushed so far. When Morana finally reaches her limit, the resulting act of vengeance will shatter not just her marriage, but the very foundation of her world.

It's all layered, like a work of art: The sultry, moody male with a back story, and the equally moody girl who has a spark like temper, and a short fuse. The geometrical shapes of the painting begin to warp, but they still fit together. Some overlap. Some are pushed into new places, with new surroundings and unfamiliar ground. When stories begin to interlock, who's to blame? The girl, the boy, or the dead? Lucille Dawn's stuck in a whirlwind of grief and sorrow. Fighting to keep it inside of her, she finds an odd connection to a boy she'd never dream of talking too. Alexander Eluse has his own problems, and being self centred is one of them. How long will it take for him to realise that the world doesn't revolve around him? He must let go his past to be content with his future, and it's up to Lucille to help him--and to help herself at the same time.

The chemical formula is simple: Nerdy, shy, introverted good girl who has her quirks and her secrets and her embarrassing flaws and the reckless, bad attitude, non-commital bad boy... (But you've totally rooted out his soft spot: It's kittens). It's science: All is meant to go as planned. Hypothesis? They fall in deep, unbreakable love. Equipment? One boy, one girl, one insane family and one dark past. Safety precautions? *Skips past* Results? Ah...Crap. Well, something clearly went wrong here, 'cause the answers are completely out of whack. When Charlie Lest gets herself into what seems like a harmless but is actually a rather sticky situation, she can't get herself out of it on her own. Her own stubborn nature and determination to stay independent runs her into Hayden Que: He too is stubborn, but shows his frustrations outwardly. It lands him in daily trouble. Turns out, he's in a sticky situation of his own. Charlie had one choice to make: To be honest, or to try and hope things don't crumble just to save her pride.

NERD. FREAK. TOMBOY. SLUT. Four girls, four labels. What would they have to sacrifice to escape their stereotypes? BAD BOY. BROODER. JOCK. RICH. Four boys, four masks. What would happen if they let someone pull down their walls? ~*~ ~WaRnInG~ A book FULL of teenagers, doing teenage things. Sexy times. Excessive swearing. Existential crisis'. Dark stuff.

Five days ago, I died. No, this isn't some metaphor or dramatic exaggeration. My heart stopped-flatlined-for five whole seconds. Clinically dead. And if there's a heaven, I didn't see it. What I did see were eyes. Warm, honey-colored eyes. A face came with them, yes, but it was the eyes that held me, gentle and bright, like sunlight through amber. In those final seconds, that's what I saw-what I clung to. Now let me tell you my story.

Rya McCoy had it all.... except a good sex life. College was supposed to be the most exciting time of your life, but for Rya, she deemed it as the most important. The stress of her degree and being the best took over her world until she found herself in another. She didn't mean to waltz into a BDSM club, just as much as she didn't mean to get the ride of her life from her long-time arch nemesis, Christopher Knowles, but she did. And she couldn't help but crave for more. Two enemies. One deal. But a single promise: no one falls in love. _____ B O O K 2 O F T H E P L E A S E M E S E R I E S : 1 - Teach Me to Please 2 - Promise Me to Please _____ W A R N I N G T H I S S T O R Y C O N T A I N S : ❤︎ sexual/mature content ❤︎ explicit language ❤︎ alcohol consumption ❤︎ mild violence ❤︎ BDSM _____ H I G H E S T R A N K I N G S : 1 #enemies 1 #oppositesattract 2 #enemieswithbenefits 2 #goldengirl 2 #secretadmirer 3 #goldenboy _____ S T A R T E D - 14/04/2022 C O M P L E T E D - ? ? ?
