Restrained Stories

Maxine is an unusual almost-eighteen-year-old teenager. In a few days she will finish 11th grade and begin summer break, the season she passionately despises. Although she has many interests and hobbies, boys have never fit into any of those categories. She prefers studying, reading or hanging out with her best friend instead. If she could, she would live alone somewhere in the mountains, anywhere really, as long as she wouldn't have to socialize as much as society expects a teenage girl to. Will this be the summer that changes her forever? Or will our heroine stand her ground against change? I suppose we'll find out together. Author's note: My books never begin with spice or drama in the first chapter. Not because I dislike the idea. Sometimes I enjoy reading those kinds of stories, where attraction is magnetic and consuming, and sex is portrayed as something accessible and definite. I want you to know that everything I write is pure fiction, perhaps with small details gathered from the stories of people who have passed through my life. Although I will remain anonymous, I will tell you something personal. In my everyday life, I have always let things form organically. I surrender to the currents of the "River" which is, in fact, life. Maybe I am selfish for applying this principle to my work as well, for "subjecting" my characters to a kind of restraint, often making them simmer with desire. But from experience, I stand by this idea: the most beautiful stories are born in their own time. I hope you enjoy my fiction as much as I enjoy writing it. ❤️

When Bella Swan moves to Forks, she expects nothing but gray skies and quiet days. What she finds instead is the Cullen family-beautiful, strange, and endlessly composed. But it isn't Edward Cullen who draws her eye. It's Jasper Hale-the one who rarely speaks, whose stillness feels deliberate, whose scars tell a story she can't quite read. As tension rises in Forks, Bella begins to see that calm isn't the absence of struggle-it's the mastery of it. Her growing bond with Jasper unfolds in patience, loyalty, and unspoken faith. No villains, no melodrama-just two souls learning what it means to choose peace in a world built on hunger. Golden Hour reimagines Twilight as a quiet, character-driven love story-one where restraint shines brighter than desire.

I started writing this book at the age of fourteen as a pass time, but as I wrote more I began to love the people I had created. It took me a long time to write this, but by the end of secondary school it was complete. I only heard of this site recently and only after I got my book published. However, all I even wanted was to share my book, my story. If you want to read something that comes from the soul then I invite you with open arms to read my creation. I love it so... and I hope you will too. Addition note is that the first paragraph is simply an introduction to one character, you really need to keep reading into the second and third chapters to see who everyone is and such forth. So please do read up 'til then, comments and votes will be equally welcomed. Thank you :) __________________________________________________________ Behind His Scarf follows the two new students of Kaiun High School. Sakura is a quiet, hard working girl with golden hair; whilst Lucifer is a rebellious boy with a terrible temper. Their worlds become entwined when Lucifer finds out Sakura's secret and forces her to go out with him. Mortified by the agreement, Sakura learns the truth about Lucifer and begins questioning her own past. Discovering the kinder side of Lucifer, Sakura gets dragged into his world and finds much more than she bargained for.

This really was very emotional to make and I hope in many this touches them deeply like I did. If it's possible wish not for who to see this to withhold their unspoken feelings and words, tell me what you think.
