Adelina Bianco was kidnapped at 5 years old after her home was ambushed. Her once perfect life with her 6 brothers was turned upside down and she now has no one. They haven't even looked for her as far as she's concerned and she's grown to hate the people who brought a smile to her face everyday for the first 5 years of her life. They abandoned her. So what happens 10 years later when she's been placed into their care? "The smell of cigarette smoke is comforting while the one of beer feels usual. The stench of vodka sends shivers down my spine and the one of tequila is terrifying. Vaping is a relief and weed is an escape." Please look out for any trigger warnings that would be at the beginnings of chapters! There's a bit of a slow start but it gets better.These are my own thoughts and ideas, I own the characters. However this isn't my cover!!

As she disconnects her lips from mine, she shoots me a smirk that sends chills down my spine. "You have no idea how long I've been waiting to do that," -- Aspen Grayson has had her fair share of crushes in her life: the beautiful celebrity in her new favorite tv show, the cute girl that sat behind her in algebra, the cashier that she crossed paths with for only a few minutes at the grocery store. But those were just simple infatuations that didn't last past a day. None have ever amounted to the crush she has on Ivy Charleston, her straight best friend.

'Once upon a time she was sweet and innocent. And then shit happened.'

His touch brought me such pleasure, it only made me madder as the burn of his rejection again set me ablaze. Slipping from his hold, I took the silver knife from my pocket and held it to his neck. He trembled as he leaned away from the silver. The burning inside me deepened and I could feel the tears in my eyes but I quickly shoved them back as I let the fire he ignited fuel my anger. "I've had about enough of you," I hissed through clenched teeth. "You're pathetic, get off my land." "Then let me give you something to remember just how pathetic I am." Taking the knife, I carved an X into the spot where I should have been able to mark him, where I wanted to bite him now. "Fuck!" He pulled back and held his bloody neck, it wasn't healing. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- First round of edits are finally complete!
