    Rejection is not natural. Neither is being wolf-born, but that one I had to live with. It began with a rejection, and not one that was taken lightly. I knew the meaning of dominance before I was forced to kneel before him. The orphanage taught submission, but Alpha Martin Julius wanted far more. Submission. Power. Obedience. Abduction. And the one thing that I could never forgive...the belief that he could hit me and get away with it. The belief that men in this world are the only ones made to rule every continent, every country, every being and object...women were treated like those objects. Power danced in this dirty, entitled fingers and women were whacked and beaten into obedience. Power. Submission. Loyalty. Power belongs to the men and only the men. Submission is the only thing that must be taken seriously in a woman. Loyalty...stay loyal to the death. Rejection wouldn't have been possible if there was equality. There is nothing equal about the man who won't let me reject him.

    Shinoa, human, 15, a shy depressed kid, just wants her family issues to go away, but unfortunately heighten, when her parents got into trouble for drunk driving. Luke, around the same age, but alas, not nearly as tall, as his roommate that is oblivious to his presence.(Can't blame her) As the seasons go by, alot of development and loose plot begins to build up, putting dear Shinoa and Luke in situations that are dangerous, awkward or down right cute or horrifying. Cover is not my own and was made by "RosesPoses6". A truly wonderful artists. A story for GT lovers and people who likes a story that hardly ends. Drama, action, violence, potential horror, some graphic events. Please mind my spelling. Updates will be close to daily cause I've got the script already to a much later part in the story, it just has to be typed out😎👍 ++Some scenes may be rated 18++ Breakdown: Each season has 24 chapters and an extras chapter that contains one more fragment of Luke's life before the main story. Season 1: Introduction arc A season with little build up and more background that's important for later chapters. Season 2: School arc A season focused around interactions at school that introduces some more important characters. Season 3: Summer Sand arc A season that starts introducing some of the main plot and things start to get juicy. Season 4: The Shrinky arc A season still at Summer Sand after several key events lead up to this point. The plot takes a problematic turn for certain individuals. Season 5: Fax Hope arc A season where our antagonists' true desires are brought to light and how our protagonists time is running low.

    At fifteen... she was light. Niharika Rathore was the kind of girl who made rooms softer just by entering them. A sunshine soul wrapped in innocence. She laughed too easily, trusted too quickly, and loved her mother more than anything in the world. Her eyes-almond-shaped, deep, observant-held warmth. Her smile could melt silence. Chubby cheeks like cotton candy... a face everyone remembered. But some stories don't stay soft. Because in one night... everything changed. The man her mother trusted... the man who was supposed to become her stepfather... became the reason her world cracked open. Nothing loud. Nothing spoken. Just a line crossed that should have never been crossed. And after that night... Niharika was never the same. --- At seventeen... she is still alive. But the sunshine is gone. Her smile doesn't reach her eyes anymore. Her gaze avoids people, like the world itself became unsafe. Quiet. Careful. Guarded. She no longer trusts light. She only trusts shadows. Then fate turns again. Her mother slips into a coma. And suddenly... there is no place left for her. A maternal grandfather she barely knows sends her away-far from everything she called home. But before she can leave... another truth arrives like a storm. A father she never truly knew. A name whispered in fear. A mafia king. And he wants her back. Not as a guest. Not as a choice. As his daughter. --- But Niharika has already learned one thing the hard way: Men break things. Even the ones who are supposed to protect you. Now she is taken into a world she never imagined- A house filled with power... silence... and eight brothers who see her as an outsider. No women. No softness. No familiarity. Only rules. Distance. Watchful eyes. And a girl who is terrified of men... being forced to live surrounded by them.

    HE IS FEAR. SHE IS THE CURSE HE WON'T NAME. She is not sick. She carries a sister within her - fatal, femme, fluent in shadows. There are years missing from her memory. Years that lead back to the ghetto of curses, to a wraith who learned to survive it, and to the children no one else would take in: sick, cursed, unstable. For a time, something held. It could not last. Now she arrives at Theater Volto, where that same wraith is bound to the Karnivals. A duelist. Just as she is. What existed then does not exist here. Memories begin to surface - intoxicating, haunting, lethal things. The more she remembers, the more terrifying he becomes. SVA CVIQVE PERSONA Karnival Eve is a dark fantasy shaped by an Art Nouveau logic of bodies, curses, and desire. In Karnival Kolony, ecstasy is rationed, vows scar, and illness moves through bloodlines. Content warning: This work contains adult themes.

    This book is not about success. Not about relationships. Not about advice. This is a voice. The voice of a woman who is tired of being a function. Who has realized that strength is not a cause, but a symptom. Who has stopped apologizing for her silence and for her anger. There are no fictional characters here. There is her. And her monologues. About everyday life, about death, about love, about instant noodles, and about how to stay alive when everyone around you expects you to be "convenient." If you have ever felt that you are loved like a ladder - as long as you bear the weight - this book is for you. Living loudly is not about noise. It's about honesty.
