Disguise
(Highest #41 on 8/5/2020) A/N This book is a stand-alone even though the first few chapters might seem confusing! It's one of those, starts in the middle and eventually unravels kind of a story :') (COMPLETED) I moved to peer through the thicket when her arm snaked around mine and she wildly shook her head. "You don't want to-" she whispered and I put my arm on her shoulder reassuringly. "It will be okay." I whispered back as lowly as possible. Her frantic eyes tried to convey her message but there was no option. I had to see, see if I could help. Holding my heart in my throat, I turned my head back and peered through the leaves. It was not okay. ----------------------- At the start of her successful career, Flora Lori is running from a past, and a man, hoping to heal herself with time and distance. But when she takes a long deserved vacation to a remote luxury hotel far away from home, little does she know that her life will be turned upside down by the one man she promised to never look at again. Just recovering from a major betrayal, love is the last thing on the Alpha King's mind, but when a routine errand leaves him questioning all his choices, he sets out to convince the girl he once blamed for everything that he's the one for her, while simultaneously uncovering a sinister plot, that threw them both in this situation in the first place.Complete
The Secret (Complete)
Alexandra Stan was always on the run because of what she did. She just keeps moving never stopping for no one. Will she ever stop? Will she find someone that is worth staying for? The real question is what did she do? ---------------------------- I turn around to close the door but something or more like someone is blocking me with their foot. "Hey, can you move your foot?" I ask but the person doesn't make a move to open or close the door. Suddenly I am pressed up against a wall near the door. I hate being manhandled. "Let me go! I will hurt you if you don't." I say with as much courage as I have. "Oh, Alexandra. You don't scare me one bit." A guy says in a deep voice. "Who are you? Why are you here?" I ask the two questions in my head. I then take a whiff of the air and know that this is a high ranking werewolf. Probably a Beta or Delta. "I am the one to bring the alpha what he wants. And if it wasn't obvious I am here to take you to the alpha. You are a rogue after all." The guy says behind me in a tone that makes me want to run from him but punch him at the same time. "But anyway before you get any ideas...This is going to make it easier to carry you without you struggling." He says then injects me with something that burns in my blood stream. I then fall into his arms unconscious. -------------------------------- Started book: Feb. 24, 2018 Ended book: July 19, 2019 ------------------------------- Started editing: Nov. 2, 2019 Stopped editing: ? -------------------------------Complete
The Interesting Book: Deeper Conversation With God
"The Cave You Fear To Enter Hold The Treasure You Seek." Are you someone who believes in something beyond our understanding-a person who says, "There's something out there, but we won't know it until we can"? Who told you that the "right moment" even exists when time itself is a construct created by humans? Honestly, I'd suggest you put this book down and not waste your time, because everyone has their own "right time" to understand what I'm trying to convey here. I recorded myself while talking about things I had never even heard of before as a non religious person with lacking GOD concept. . It was me, yet it felt like an upgraded version of myself guiding me to develop further. This version of me presented an option: What if everything you know, everything you've been, and everything you've labeled could be erased, allowing you to start over and build a completely new sense of self? HER said, "If you're not ready to understand who I am and what I'm trying to say, then 'QUIT.' Because it took immense time, pain, and experience for you to endure and evolve to reach me and sustain this communication." And so, I did. The book you'll be reading is a transcript of the audio I recorded. Interestingly, it resembles a religious text-though, believe me, I didn't intend it to. It just happened. Later, I searched for the first "God word" that corresponded with specific numbers through the transcripts, and I discovered connections to related verses across 12 major global religions, smaller religions, indigenous beliefs, new religious movements, denominations, and sects which you will find them in the book. But here's the truth: everyone is capable of understanding-once they reach the right intellectual and spiritual evolution. I assume you've decided to stay. So, what if I told you that to truly be born into real reality, you must first experience a kind of death?....Complete

"You know when you describe me it should be 'Maine Tollison who has pale pink hair with streaks of blue, fair skin, face that's super beautiful. In short a godde-- Hey! Are you listening?!" Being beautiful of course she will aim for the guy who is just like her, a handsomeness unparalleled by anyone and his name is Jake Colton but the problem is, they're not meant for each other. "You've already moved on from the beautiful me? How mean! Wait......, Are you talking about Jake Colton? Well I guess it's alright then" How'd she know this?
