(Scarecrows of Coldharbour Farm #1) WINNER Wattys 2021 | '...adorable and heartbreaking...' Erin loved to build scarecrows. She made a dozen in all. Her Pa showed her how. But he's dead now. Everyone is dead. The Many Years Storm saw to that. Terrified and alone, Erin endured the storm in her hilltop farmhouse. She watched the sea levels rise, flooding everything in sight, washing away all but one of her scarecrows, Number Twelve. Then, on the day the rain stopped, Twelve inexplicably came to life and jumped down from her cross. No sooner had Erin told Twelve about her eleven missing sisters, they decided to build a boat and set out across The Endless Blue to find them all.

"It is your choice," he said, stepping so close to me that our lips were almost touching. "Either do what I say - or get another job." My heart stood still as I gazed up into his deep, dark, dangerous eyes... In a world where women's only role in life is to sit at home and look pretty, Lilly is determined to fight for her freedom. There's only one problem: a powerful man blocking her way.

"ایک خوبصورت دنیا جہاں جھوٹے سپنوں کی سچی دنیا بستی ہے میری ۔۔ " مجھے یہ کہانی اس لئے خاص لگتی ہے کیونکہ اس میں اک زندگی قید ہے وہ زندگی جو بنا پنکھ کے اڑنا چاہتی ہے بنا آواز کے بولنا چاہتی ہے.... "الطريق الصعب " اک مشکل راستہ..... حالانکہ ہمارے پاس صراط المستقیم اک سیدھا سچا راستہ موجود ہے پھر بھی ہم خود اسے اپنے لئے مشکل راسته بنا دیتے ہیں، کبھی راستہ بھٹک کے گمراہ ہو کر اور کبھی مایوسیوں کے اندھیروں میں گِھر کر.. اُس کی ذات سے دور ناامید ہو کے ہم اُسے بھولنے لگتے ہیں لیکن وہ ہمیشہ ہمیں اپنے ہونے کا احساس کرواتا رہتا ہے کےدیکھو میں ہوں ساتھ...یہ کہانی شاید ان لوگوں کی ہے جو خواب تو دیکھتے ہیں پر ان پر یقین نہیں رکھتے،یہ کہانی خیال سے خواب اور خواب سے خواہش تک کی بھی ہے، وہ خواہشیں جو ہوتی تو ہماری ہیں پر انہیں پورا کرنے کیلئے کسی اور کو بھیج دیا جاتا ہے... ~~~~☆ ☆ ☆~~~~

#1 werewolf #1 teenfiction "That night meant nothing to me Olivia." "You were just like another girl to me." He smirked, "and you KNOW how I do girls. I lure them," he took a crumpled paper in his hands and softly straightened it, "I fuck them. HARD." He tore the paper off in pieces, "and then, I throw them out of my life," he concluded, crushing the paper into a ball and throwing it with a perfect shot in the bin. I looked up at him in shock, anger and heartbreak. "You actually thought I got jealous!" He scoffed. Out of nowhere he threw me against the wall and I gasped as his arm pressed by my sides and he trapped me. "ALSO, DON'T YOU DARE CALL ME YOUR MATE AGAIN!" he growled, I breathed heavily as fear started crawling in. Tears flowed down my face. I struggled to breathe. "I NEVER wanted a mate. Especially not like you." He gave me a glare as if the mere sight of me disgusted him. "Who would want a mate like you anyways, huh? You're ugly, nerdy, clingy, way-too-innocent and being with you will DESTROY my social reputation." Listening to those words shattered my Wolf and she howled in pain. I gasped, trying to get some air but he pressed me against the wall harder. "Look at you," he chuckled, "So pathetic. You're not even able to defend yourself. Moon goddess made a mistake mating you with me. I will correct it ." "I won't reject you," he said, "oh no no. Rejection is easy. I will TORTURE you. I will sleep with other girls, I will flirt with them in front of your eyes and I will watch you and your wolf die everyday. I will break you to the limit where you won't ever be able to come back. And then, I will leave you to rot." "One last thing. Don't you DARE tell anyone that we are mates. Are we clear?" I nodded frantically, my heart clenching till where it was unbearable. He let out a dark chuckle and released me,"Good girl." I collapsed on the floor and almost passed out from the lack of air in my lungs. He just walked away & left me there to rot.
