Goodbye for now || n.h
"Throughout the years, people have told me we're too young. We're too young for marriage and we're too young to be parents. Some people actually told me that marrying young would be the end of my freedom. But it wasn't. Marrying young has been one of the best decisions I've ever made. I still enjoyed going to bars, or dancing in clubs. Then at 2am I would stumble back home with her and we would eat pizza in our underwear. When I was nineteen I knew I wanted to kiss those lips every morning, and every night before we fell asleep, for the rest of my life. So to all those people who told me we were too young, all I can say is that they're wrong. If you see marriage as the end of your freedom, you're doing it wrong." *** This is a story about fighting for the one, your one true love. It's a story about finding yourself. It's a story about reality and the future, and how it may change your life. This is a story based on a song.Complete

Arranged Marriage to my Mate [Completed but Editing]
[Completed] Taylor Daniels. Average name, average face, average girl. What about her life? Well, that's a bit complicated. Finding out her werewolf heritage was not part of the seemingly normal life Taylor lived. She'd always been the strong but silent type, concentrating on getting good grades and pleasing her mother. But all that changes when she's merely picked up and dropped into the world of werewolves. She'll have to dust herself off and learn to live with the fact that her life was a lie. What's even more deranged is that her life is at risk. And who can possibly help her? Her so called "mate" Leo Knight. A forced marriage between the two is the only thing keeping her safe, but what happens when this little compromise turns into a whirlwind of attraction, hate, jealousy, and possible love? Can Taylor hold on to her only hope of sanity, or be whisked away in the world of werewolves, where her family, herself included, are a bunch of overgrown dogs? Taylor may seem shy on the outside, but dealing with a sarcastic, rude, arrogant mate has her standing up for herself and ultimately, facing her crazy consequences. Despite her situation, the confusing part is the possible attraction she has to Leo. And to think, it all started with two simple words..."I Do." THIS BOOK IS CURRENTLY BEING EDITED! If you are fine with reading it as is, go ahead! But I am currently editing it to remove multiple grammatical errors, as well as improving the story line and filling in some missing gaps that I failed to address the first time writing this.

Honor Aside
Despite being raised in Canada, I was expected to have an arranged marriage before I became "too old" for the people in my family's religious community to view me as a potential bride. I grew up thinking that an arranged marriage within my religious community would be my future. When the time came for my sister to get married, I could do nothing but watch as she was forced to marry a distant relative overseas and become trapped in a miserable situation. As I got older, I realized that I needed to take drastic action to avoid the same fate as all the women in my family before me. They had been stifled and traumatized, and they chafed under society's expectations. However, they could do nothing but rely on religion and repeat the cycle of marriage-kids-marriage. Having failed to convince my parents that I needed to have other options, I left. This is the story of how I decided that things needed to change. This is how I took charge of my future.Complete
The Woman Who Blasphemed
The drip, drip brought back the memory of those screams. She could smell the crimson from that day, or was it crimson, salt, left behind by the blood and tears of some other prisoner. Were they abused? She wondered. How were her children. She thought of them a dozen times a day, she asked the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost to keep them safe. Jamil she had long ago realized would be spared his father's beatings. That day only brought it to her conscious. She had always known. But she saw it that day. Her beautiful daughter Maryam, that was who she was more worried about. Drip, drip. Splat. Splat. The water smelled bad. Sour, of shit. It tasted even worse. She had been forced to drink it, they had starved her, and deprived her of water for a few days. Was it days? She didn't know. There was no night and day in this place. Just the collective quiet and screams for food, for water, for mercy. Confessions of sins that the prisoners had not committed, anything to get out. Most harrowing were the screams. The whips, the flays, the screams. She winced every time she heard one. She shivered the first time she had heard one. She shuddered as she thought of that. The hair on her back rose, she pulled her arms around herself. It was unearthly. Not an animal's scream, not her screams when her husband beat her, not even when he had hit her with a bat. Not the screams of the dog that those kids had cornered, and were poking with sticks, some throwing stones at it, as if it were the devil himself. No, none of those screams. This came from a deeper place. This was a scream from before civilization. From before language. This was a scream, guttural. Loud, screeching, very much in pain.Complete![ZEMBLANITY[2]- Proliferating Pain](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/369816824-256-k797039.jpg)

[ON HOLD TILL MAY-JUNE] CAUTION ⚠️- The narrative incorporates instances of violence, mature themes, and elements that may put you in a cumbersome WEEKLY UPDATE 🔻"|Please note that this story has been crafted with deliberate and vivid intention. Additionally, any resemblances between the plot or characters should be regarded as purely coincidental. If you happen to come across any errors or inconsistencies, I would appreciate it if you could overlook them or directly inform me|".🔺 The orb of humans is male-oriented, no matter from which ethnicity, religion or community they belong. But the fact is that No ethical jurisprudence, religious beliefs or community legislation aggrandise chauvinism. The only thing that lifts inhumanity in the form of Chauvinism is some Norms, Traditions, Rituals and stereotypes, which are created by all mentally-visually impaired human beings no matter whether they are Women or Men. This Narrative illuminates the Life of Two individuals who are encapsulated in the sphere of Praxis which is called CHILD-MARRIAGE. Gauri was a Fifteen-year-old girl, whose life was guzzled by a traditionally obsequious human-figured Monster, Gauri once said, "Those who think that the society is Male-oriented, they are mentally impaired by esurient Human beings" Zorawar was sixteen years old boy, who lost his childhood under the overburdened responsibility of his Family, Zorawar once said, " 'The society is Male-oriented because men are stronger than women', this Superstition is made to confine the truth that Women are staunchest than Men as they can handle all her responsibility without the help of Men" To know why these thoughts initiated in the innocent soul of two innocent Humans come in the Narrator's craft, which is about to embark on the voyage and experience the true story of Most Indian People, especially Women.
