FREE STORY WITH EXCLUSIVE CONTENT. This is *not* a Paid Story. Eighteen-year-old hockey prodigy Elliot Wexler has three goals for senior year. One: somehow graduate with a 3.5 GPA. Two: hide his bipolar disorder from his peers. And three: make it into the NHL with no scandals. Piece of cake. What he doesn't expect is to find Lucy, a homeless girl, hiding from the winter frost in his dad's shed. Elliot's busy, complicated life doesn't permit room for error, and falling in love with a girl from a totally different world sounds like the opposite of a good idea. But Elliot can't help but be drawn to Lucy and her elusive ways--even when she seems to vanish from his life non-stop, each time leaving him with a bigger hole in his heart. But Elliot is determined to break down Lucy's barriers. And when he does, he discovers that her life is more complicated--and dangerous--than he could have imagined. With drafting season approaching, and Elliot's fragile mental health deteriorating, he's forced to face a difficult question: Is first love supposed to hurt so much? *** PLEASE DO NOT ADD THIS STORY TO GOODREADS.

11 year old Aelia lives sheltered on a farm with her Uncle. Her life is spent collecting antiques, doing chores, and trying to struggle through her rough living situation. One day, her prayers are answered and her biological brothers that she never met show up on her doorstep, demanding they take Aelia with them. And suddenly, Aelia is thrown into a new life accompanied by 8 extremely loving men. All of whom are very protective, all of whom are also very much wrapped around her little fingers. Like the sun, the boys lives now revolve around her. She keeps them breathing, but many forces are trying to make them stop.

Ravenshore Academy is built on pressure, privilege, and boys who don't know how to be gentle. Damien Moretti, Nathan Moretti, and Nate Moretti rule the halls with fists, smirks, and reputations sharp enough to cut. They're the kind of boys everyone avoids - loud, reckless, untouchable. Everyone except Josh Mercer. Josh is the swim team's quiet prodigy - disciplined, focused, and determined to stay invisible. But invisibility doesn't work on Damien and his crew. They shove him in hallways, mock him in the cafeteria, and make sure he never forgets his place. He's their favorite target. Their quiet punching bag. Their reminder that power is something you take. But everything shifts when Ravenshore announces a new cross‑training program: the hockey team and swim team will be training together. Eight practices a week. Seven lanes. Three hockey boys per lane. And Josh is assigned the worst possible combination: Damien. Nathan. Nate. His three tormentors. His three shadows. His three problems. Forced into close proximity, Josh becomes the one responsible for teaching them how to survive in the water. The boys who used to laugh at him now have to listen to him, watch him, rely on him. Lines blur. Power shifts. And the boys who once made his life miserable start looking at him differently - too closely, too long, too intensely. Josh doesn't know what's more dangerous: the way they used to treat him... or the way they're starting to now. ---

She never believed in fate. Not in soulmates. Not in monsters. Not in anything she couldn't explain. Until a stranger online started to feel more real than the people around her. In a quiet coastal town where nothing ever truly stays hidden, she spends her nights talking to him-anonymous, intense, impossible to forget. He never asks for her name. Never pushes for more. Just watches. Waits. Listens. Then she sends him a photo. And everything fractures. Because the moment he sees her eyes, he knows. She is his mate. A bond written in instinct, older than reason, impossible to ignore. He is not human. He is not safe. He is heir to a rare and dangerous werewolf bloodline-trained to lead, built to dominate, and struggling to control something far worse than his power. Obsession. Now he's everywhere she turns. Silent. Watching. Always close enough to feel like a shadow she can't escape. But she's not just human either. Something inside her is breaking-unstable, buried, dangerous. A power she doesn't understand begins to surface, reacting to him in ways she can't control. She wants distance. He refuses it. She fears him. Her body doesn't agree. And in a town where supernatural worlds hide behind ordinary streets, one truth becomes unavoidable: Some bonds don't ask for permission. And some darkness doesn't wait to be invited in.

But life doesn't always play the way's expected, and Gemma's life of before can only stay as that: in the past.

I didn't plan on falling in love with Harry Styles. I planned on surviving. Behind a bar, my life makes sense. Drinks in, drinks out. Keep moving. Don't get too close to anyone who might leave. Harry ruins that system the moment he walks in. He's patient in a way that's dangerous. Gentle in a way that makes it hard to keep my distance. He doesn't try to fix me, doesn't ask me to explain the parts of my life I'd rather keep buried. He just... stays. What starts as late-night conversations and quiet companionship slowly becomes something neither of us expected. Something steady. Something terrifying. Something that might actually be love. And when you've spent your entire life learning how to do everything alone, letting someone stay might be the hardest thing of all. UPDATES 9 AM & 9PM EST DAILY!!!! #1 in harrystyles

A sea woman, with a host of bigwigs as backups, thrived in the entertainment industry, becoming a symbol of grassroots success! A top male singer wrote songs for her and passionately proposed to her at a concert. The president of a listed group spent billions of dollars on a mansion for her, hoping to keep her as his mistress. A talented director crowned her Best Actress, calling her "Inspirational Moose." A top agent created her own entertainment company, promising to sign only her. Just when Mu Lingshuang was at the height of her success, a car accident completely changed her life. Starting over, she found herself in a novel! The bigwigs who once swooned over her now fell for the original heroine, whose family background was ordinary, appearance was ordinary, and every aspect was inferior to her. Who could tolerate this? Just when Mu Lingshuang's sea woman nature was unleashed again, the original hero actually played a melodramatic, dark, and imprisoned scenario with her. "Seduce anyone again, and I'll kill you." To outsiders, labels like "aloof," "abstinent," "gentleman," and "strict self-discipline" were all illusions! This guy was simply a wolf in sheep's clothing, a scumbag with a sociopathic personality! Mu Lingshuang, deeply hurt by this, regretted deeply. She should never have seduced this man out of lust for male beauty!

"He definitely wants to sleep with you," he taunts. "Excuse me?" I look at him weirdly, "What are you even talking about." "The way he touched your arm. That's what people do when they wanna fuck someone." He looks down at his paper and continues to sketch his patterns. I get an idea and scoot my chair closer to his. I lean forward and bring my lips up to his ear, very gently. "Well, that's what you do." He snaps his head towards me like he knows what I'm going to say next. "Do you wanna fuck me?" I whisper, making sure to look at him in awe. I hope it has an even better effect since our faces are closer. He opens his mouth to say something but hesitates. His eyes are everywhere but mine. When he finally catches my stare, he pushes my chair back to where it was before with his foot. "You are such a smart-ass. Would it hurt to swallow your ego for two seconds? Not everything's about you," he argues. "Maybe. I mean- I've swallowed worse," I shrug with a petty smile. *** Lavender Quinn has always struggled with her mental health but somehow managed to always stay at the top of her class... until her senior year.
