Rooted in Love By: Mother Melanin Naomi Carter has spent twenty years caring for everyone except herself. As a hardworking registered nurse in Chicago, she's survived endless double shifts, sleepless nights, and the emotional weight of a career spent helping others. Through it all, she's held onto one impossible dream: A farm. Not a mansion. Not luxury. Just a peaceful piece of land where she can grow fresh fruits and vegetables, cultivate fields of flowers, make homemade jams and preserves, and create natural skincare products from ingredients she grew with her own hands. It's a dream she never expected to afford. Then a phone call changes everything. A distant relative she barely remembers has passed away, leaving Naomi a fortune, a sprawling farm in rural Illinois, and one final gift that makes absolutely no sense: A Farming System. Suddenly, Naomi has the opportunity to build the life she's always wanted. There's just one problem. The farm isn't empty. Living on the property are eleven-year-old twins Malik and Micah, along with their seven-year-old sister Zuri-three children who have been secretly surviving on their own after slipping through the cracks of the foster system. Naomi only planned to inherit a farm. She never expected to inherit a family. With the help of a magical system, a small-town community, fields of lavender and sunflowers, mischievous goats, homemade skincare products, and three children determined to claim her heart, Naomi begins to discover that the most valuable things in life aren't found in bank accounts. They're found in the roots we plant, the people we love, and the homes we build together. Sometimes the greatest harvest isn't what grows from the soil. It's what grows from love.

Football player Bishop Cade is on the right track to making all of his dreams come true. University scouts are after him, along with St. Branton High School's teen population. What no one knows though, is Cade has a lot more going on in his life. He makes his own money to support himself and his mother, and in order to do that, he's forced to run an operation his father was apart of before his death. Klara Martell is well-aware of Bishop Cade. She's hard-shelled and has 0 tolerance for more than half of the students at her dumb school. After years of being bullied and tortured for being over-weight, Klara's idea of the world had seriously rotted. Can she accept Bishop's interest in her? Or will her past put a halt to everything before it starts.

"Brute" __ /Broot/ (n) A savagely violent person or animal. "We, unlike dumb brutes, can reflect upon our impulses" . . . Centuries ago there was a man born into two underworlds that wanted nothing to do with him because of the fear that lit inside them, outcasted he was forced to settle for the third. The unwanted creature's heart became hollow overtime and surfaced the world with anger imbeded inside wreaking havoc wherever he saw fit. The creature's treacherous acts were so vile they began to identify him as the "Brute" because of his animal characteristics and it wasn't based on genetics. Truth be told he liked the name, It was the perfect word to define him and he would agree if told. After many years had passed the Brute went in hiding, he was considered to be a horrific tale that traveled around many towns and villages for generations that frightened all who heard and was still being told to this day. The Brute now resides in a small town called Salem of where his story tale continues.

It's been 21 years since Nyla's and Wayne's story ended. But for the little girl who's slowly grown into her own woman... Her story has just begun. This is Imani's story. The Descendant of a Beta ~~~ "You better watch your mouth when you speak to me Yorell!" She struggled to pull her hand out of his grasp. "I'm not one of those beta's you can control!" "I should say the same Beta!" He spit spitefully at Imani while his grip on her hand tightened. "You better watch your tone to your Alpha or else I'll lower it for you!" She bared her fangs at him angrily. "Do NOT touch me!" He smirked at her concededly. His dark brown gaze was so pleasant but bitter it made Imani almost swoon. "What are you gonna do about it? Fight me?" His other hand gently tugged on her afro curls. Imani wanted to stay in his arms as she felt her resolve weaken. "Or better yet just run into your mommy's bosom... just like the seductress she is I'm pretty sure she has skills in consoling people around her." The sarcasm was evident. Grrowl! Fury flashed in Imani's eyes as she growled furiously and pulled him by his shirt. "Listen here Alpha. Keep my mother's name out your mouth!" He bent down and sneered at her. Mockery shone in his eyes. "Or else what?" "I'll kill your mother." The smile on his face faltered as hers grew. "The same way my father killed yours." Anger brew in his eyes. "IMANI YOU ARE- "NOT to play with!" She pulled his shirt more as her golden blue specked eyes shone angrily. Her claws extended through the shirt and onto his chest. Scarring it as blood dripped in the process. "I do not play about my mother and if I hear you speak another bad tone on her I will raise hell from the ground to bury you in it! DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?!" Shocked Yorell felt her dark sun-kissed lips gently brush against his ears.The touch was so intoxicating when he closed his eyes to her comfort. But the next words she said were filled with contempt. "My dear Alpha." *NOT A STANDALONE*
