Suspenseful قصص

Crescent Swiftwater, an innocent shift-less human raised in the turbulent society of werewolves, discovers a world beyond her family and searches for true love. The smell of sweat in the small arena was overpowering. The obnoxious hollering of the students can be heard around the arena, its echoes only enhancing it. Just then, the announcer jumped up onto the 7-foot-high podium with a microphone in his hand as his deep voice resounded throughout the arena riling up the crowd. "Next up is the fight between Cress and Aubrey!" The crowd was eerily silent for a split second before going wild. This was the fight that piqued everyone's interest. The human going up against a beta's daughter. Sitting in the front row was the winning Alphas for each grade. They looked on the procession with interest as the two unlikely contesters walked up the stage. One Alpha in particular, however, looked on with concern. Every school year, the school holds the wolf games in order to determine the hierarchy of the school. Can she get through the year without being bullied as a wolf-less pure bred? Will she be able to win a space or forever be the runt of the pack. Cress finds herself friends with the most unlikely person in school, who happens to be the handsome and most feared alpha of the school. Will she find her true love. Will it be the brooding Alpha or her longtime childhood friend? Or will fate be cruel? Crescent was born to the Chief's son and lived in a family pack. She grew up running alongside wolves but never being a wolf herself. With eyes as blue as the sky and hair as gold as the sun, she doesn't look anything of her father and mothers' dark hair, brown eyes and beautiful tan skin. As it is a very rare occurrence among werewolves to not have the dominant gene of their parents. Therefore, Cress always asks, what's wrong with her?

Farrah Winters has spent twelve years building a life around a wound she refuses to name. She is excellent at her job, loyal to her one true friend, and completely untouchable in every way that matters. Then Knox Harmon comes back to Charlotte-the boy she loved at sixteen, the one she never told, the one whose girlfriend destroyed her in forty-two seconds on a gymnasium microphone. Now Knox is everywhere: at the charity gala, in the partnership meetings, standing across from her at a dinner party with Harlow's hand on his arm. The problem is that proximity does what proximity does when two people have been carrying the same unfinished thing from different sides. What starts between them does not ask whether the timing is right. What follows contains betrayal, a secret that was never supposed to surface, a poison slipped into a drink at a public event, a knife in a parking structure, and a woman who is very strategic and very good at it until she is not. Nothing here is resolved easily. But something is resolved, eventually, and it costs nearly everything to get there. Slow burn. Real heat. Real damage. Come prepared. ©️ _RelleLebby_// R. L.

A woman slips in her home. A tragic accident, everyone agrees. Except investigative consultant Leora Dane doesn't believe in accidents. She believes in gaps-the invisible spaces between what people claim happened and what the evidence actually shows. When called to the Harper house, Leora reads something others missed: a coffee table moved deliberately, grip marks that don't match a fall, a staged scene hiding months of hidden knowledge. What appears to be a simple accident is actually the violent climax of infidelity, secret tracking, financial control, and a confrontation that spiraled into something no one intended. But proving it means pushing back against institutional pressure, institutional machinery, and a case everyone wants closed. One interrogation. One chance. No margin for error. Leora Dane reads crime scenes the way others read faces. She finds the architecture in the gaps. She sees the invisible pressure that breaks people. And she won't stop until everyone else sees it too. --- **THIS IS A COMPLETED MANUSCRIPT** - I'm seeking beta reader feedback before submitting to publishers/agents.
