Chosenfamily Stories

She wasn't their sister. Not by blood. Not by name. But they made sure the world treated her like one. After a single act of courage leaves sixteen-year-old Meera Chaudary in the hospital, she wakes to find strangers by her side-a powerful family of brothers who refuse to walk away. They offer her protection. They offer her a new world. They offer her a choice she never thought she'd have to make. But stepping into their world means facing the parts of herself she's always tried to hide-and learning that some ties aren't written in blood, but in the quiet spaces where trust is born. A story of found family, hidden battles, and the quiet strength it takes to belong. ................................. This story is a work of fiction and the result of my hard work.

Vera Callum has spent years surviving a body the world refuses to understand. Every symptom is documented. Every dismissal remembered. Every hard-earned diagnosis exists alongside the exhausting reality that being sick is only part of the battle - being believed is another. Online, Vera has become a fierce voice for chronically ill people failed by medicine, insurance, and systems designed to measure human worth by productivity. Offline, survival is a careful architecture of symptom logs, medications, feeding tubes, specialist appointments, and impossible choices. Then she meets Elias Mourne. Quiet. Precise. Morally dangerous in ways Vera can't fully define. He listens differently than other people do - as if every word matters. As if every silence does too. What begins as intellectual fascination slowly becomes something far more intimate: late-night conversations, brutal honesty, shared anger, and the terrifying relief of being fully seen. But survival has shaped both of them into people capable of things they rarely admit out loud. And when love grows in the aftermath of pain, neglect, and systemic failure, it stops being soft. It becomes something sharper. Something resilient. Something built to endure. A raw, emotionally charged romance about chronic illness, resilience, survival, and the dangerous intimacy of being understood.

Alice Martil swore she'd never get married. Growing up in a gas‑station town with miserable aunties, a nosy grandfather, and no examples of real love, partnership sounded like a trap-until a cursed purple‑daisy ring and a too-charming candidate named Romeo blow her quiet life apart. Between an overworked best friend, a town that won't let her forget her past, and a magic that rips people out of her life, Alice has to decide what 'home' really means-and who she's willing to fight the curse for. Content warnings: discussion of past sexual assault (non‑graphic), family pressure to marry, mental health

Home, At Last Book Two of Until We Were Whole Home was never four walls.

Filled with found family, gentle romance, parenthood, and the quiet magic of everyday life, Home, At Last is a heartfelt continuation of Until We Were Whole-a story about growing together, holding on to hope, and discovering that home isn't simply where you live. It's who waits for you with the porch light on.

Nayah Kyndell Hoffmeister has already graduated from Coastal High, has amazing friends, and a boyfriend who's stuck by her side for three years. Life should be simple. Too bad she's also known as Velvet Hex. Most villains think she's just another heroine in a cape. They're wrong. Nayah is kind, loyal, and fiercely protective of the people she cares about. Her teammates have been with her since day one, and they know her better than anyone. They know when she's scared. They know when she's angry. And most importantly, they know when to give her space. The villains don't. They don't respect boundaries. They don't leave certain words alone. And they definitely don't know what happens when they push Velvet Hex too far. Then there are the four creatures. Villains laugh at them. They act like they aren't scary. Right up until the creatures start chasing them. That's usually when all that confidence disappears. Everyone knows the legends surrounding the animals, but only Nayah knows their one weakness. She's led them her entire life, and she'll do anything to protect them. There are five words that should never be said. Five words capable of changing everything. Because when trouble comes looking for Nayah Hoffmeister, she doesn't back down. She stands her ground.

She was the daughter they lost. Then she died trying to prove she belonged. Elena Vale was born into one of New York's wealthiest families-only no one knew it. Switched at birth and raised in foster care, she is fifteen when the truth finally comes out and the powerful Vale family brings her home. But home is not the miracle Elena dreamed of. The girl raised in her place, beautiful and beloved Seraphina, remains the family's precious daughter. Elena becomes the intruder. The outsider. The foster-system mistake no amount of money can polish. And when Seraphina begins framing her for every disaster in the Vale estate, Elena's five brothers believe the wrong sister every time. In her first life, Elena begged to be loved until betrayal destroyed her. Disowned, abandoned, and marked as the villain, she died in freezing rain knowing no one had ever truly chosen her. Then she wakes up on her eighteenth birthday. This time, Elena remembers everything. She knows Seraphina will fake a fall down the stairs. She knows her brothers will blame her. She knows staying in that house means losing herself all over again. So Elena leaves. But fate has one final twist: the moment Seraphina tells her greatest lie, Elena's brothers suddenly hear the truth-Seraphina's cruel thoughts and Elena's silent pain. Forced to confront the monster they protected and the sister they destroyed, the Vale family begins a desperate search for forgiveness. Elena, however, is done begging. Building a new life in Astoria with the fierce best friend who never abandoned her and the diner manager who becomes chosen family, Elena learns that survival is not the same as healing-and that love without accountability is just another cage. As Seraphina's lies unravel, the Vales must face the crimes they ignored, the daughter they failed, and the devastating truth that regret does not equal redemption.

When an arranged marriage forces him into the estate of Kael Draven - one of the most feared alpha trade lords in the country - Auren expects another gilded cage. What he doesn't expect is an alpha who never tries to own him. Kael is patient where others were cruel. Gentle where the world taught Auren to expect violence. And terrifyingly willing to let him choose. But freedom has been Auren's only goal for years. One year. One contract. Then he's gone. At least... that was the plan. Because somewhere between stolen kisses, dangerous secrets, bloody aristocratic politics, and nights spent tangled safely in Kael's arms- Ghost Fox begins to wonder if there really is such a thing as home. And whether someone like him is allowed to stay long enough to find it.

The lhounds, or lion-hounds, were never intended to be anything more extraordinary than very large, very formidable working animals. The scientists who crossed the great Etabrian hounds with plains lions had merely hoped to produce a more effective protector for the herds. What they produced instead was something much larger, much fiercer, and very much more intelligent than anybody had foreseen. And, it turned out, possessed of other, rather unsettling abilities that the scientists had certainly not intended. When the decision was taken that these inconveniently powerful creatures should be destroyed, the lhounds did not oblige. They escaped into the mountain vastnesses and for many years remained there, feared, half-legendary, and very wisely left alone. But Etabria's uneasy peace is beginning to fracture. Lhounds are being stolen - and dark rumours are spreading of creatures bred or broken into weapons. And far from the centre of power, Queen Eruda begins to fear that the greatest danger to the Kingdoms may not come from beyond their borders, but from within. For Lenard Denarion of the Imperial Lhound Regiment, and Xand, his immensely powerful and quite insufferably self-satisfied lhound, the journey begins as an urgent mission across hostile country. It will become something far greater. For if Etabria is to survive what is coming, human and lhound will have to stand together. Not as master and beast, but as minds joined in loyalty, courage, and terrible necessity. Lenard
