A short story of a broken girl and a boy who secretly watched over her. My entry to the #MidnightSunMovie contest.

******WATTPAD FEATURED: HIDDEN GEM ****** Nineteen-year-old Tristaine lived a life of bitterness. When her mother abandoned her family, and her father began drinking, Tris discovered the only thing that truly brought her happiness: the sea. It called to her like a lover and flowed through her like a life force. When her only peace is threatened to be taken away, Tris realizes there is nothing she wouldn't do to remain with the ocean. Even if it means taking her own life to do so. But the sea isn't done with her -not yet- and Tris soon finds herself submerged in a world where love, betrayal, and honor stand stronger than any other force of nature. ---------- A collaboration with @druidrose ---------- Highest Ranking: #78 in Fantasy (09.04.17) Wattpad Picks - Hidden Gem: Fantasy (11.20.17) Cover by Shayne Leighton ©2016-2020 Meri Kurage & M.

[featured august 2018] The only thing different about her was the strange name she'd inherited from her dead grandmother. Panaceia had always been a typical sixteen year old girl, who wanted nothing more in life than to date the super-sexy quarterback, Travis Wayne, and to make it a whole year without getting her cellphone taken by her parents or one of the school administrators. But when her mother is murdered and her father suddenly wants nothing to do with her, she finds herself submerged into a life she'd never known existed. ~ If you happen to be reading this story from any other platform other than Wattpad, please note that you are very likely to be at risk of a malware attack.

[book one] The game was simple: A contest comprised of three unique challenges, designed to test a human's strength physically and mentally, their personality compatibility, and their chance of survival. The prize was excruciatingly tempting: The chance to be reborn, into a strong immortal creature of the Night, and to stand beside one of the sexiest men alive for the rest of your endless life --as his Mate. But was the cost too much? ~ If you happen to be reading this story from any other platform other than Wattpad (or Tapas), please note that you are very likely to be at risk of a malware attack.

PREVIOUSLY CALLED "My Coldhearted Beta" Highest Rank #2 in Werewolf (Idk how though) ▪▪▪▪▪ "I , Jake Anderson, reject you Lily Kim as my mate" "...Do you want me to accept this rejection?" I asked him making sure I don't rush things and crush the small chance of happiness I have. Plus he's going to regret this rejection later because his wolf is going to hate him unless he's like his possessor and doesn't want me. He looks at me confused. I'm pretty calm for someone who just got rejected. It's not like I didn't expect a rejection. He's the Beta of the 'Alpha king' so why should he want a mate like me? I thought I would die before I meet my mate. ▪▪▪▪▪ Involved with the Redmoon pack, Lily Kim has to endure the torture of the scientist, the Redmoon pack is known for their advanced knowledge, potions and more. They use rogues as living test objects, most of them don't live a week. The more suprised were the scientist that Lily lived throught the torture for a year. She was able to escape, but on their way to a new start, she was bound to meet with...complications in form of Lily's mate, the Beta of the Nightfall pack, who didn't seem pleased to see his mate. It takes more than a measly rejection for Lily to give up on a person she has waited far too long for. (A story where you will hate characters, love others, mourn over the fourth wall, laugh your ass off, and HOPEFULLY cry a little...who doesn't like some feels?) ▪▪▪▪▪ I can just say that it might be confusing at first but it has its reasons, once you read further I believe almost all of it will make sense. Warning ⚠️(not what you think pervs) it is unedited and has a lot of grammar and spelling mistakes. (I am very slowly editing whenever I have time) the first chapters might be wonky but it gets better (I think), it is my first attempt in writing after all, so keep that in mind. Also it may contain topics that could be considered triggering (the bloody kind)

17 year old, Elena Hawkins thought she was going to be done with boys forever. What Nate Thompson did to her in the fifth grade was unacceptable. She didn't want to deal with heartbreak ever again. Without Nate in the picture anymore, her normal teenage life was going really well. She had straight A's, two incredible best friends, and wonderful parents. Her happy normal teenage life was all going to change. Forced to get along with the popular people, in their all too famous hang out spot. She meets Tyler Black along the way, and her whole world flips upside down. With his innuendo jokes, good looks, gorgeous black hair, and bad boy smirk, Elena can't seem to stay away. She learns that there's more to Tyler than everyone thinks. A side that she's only seen of him is shown. The school's bad boy isn't all that bad after all. Will Tyler fall for her? Will feelings be reciprocated? Or will he break her heart just like Nate did? ~*~ "That's the first time he's called me by my first name. He usually calls me Cutie. I don't think I've ever liked the sound of my name so much, until now. He made it sound better. He makes it better." ~Elena Hawkins "Do I make her nervous? I don't want that. I want her to be herself around me. Show me who she really is, not what everyone else sees. I wanna see the real Elena Hawkins. And that is my mission." ~Tyler Black #95 in Teen Fiction - 03/09/17 Copyright ©2016 by buttercup_roses All Rights Reserved.

(COMPLETED) * "Look, Mavis, you're a beautiful girl with lots of potential and I'm so sorry about this but I reject you, Mavis Anders, as my mate." My body erupted in pain. The bones were being smashed by an invisible force. I'd heard of pain like this but they'd never say the extent of it. Knives were thrown into my neck leaving a burning sensation my mouth dry and my legs numb as I laid there in shook. "You've got to accept it now." Ace explained unfazed by my pain. "It's the only way to make the pain go away." "But I don't want to accept rejection. I won't accept your rejection." * NEEDS LOTS OF EDITING - YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! WARNING!
