𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐚𝐬𝐭 by giuliawritess

Book one in 𝐶𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑤𝑜𝑜𝑑 𝐸𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑒 𝐴𝑐𝑎𝑑𝑒𝑚𝑦 series. 𝐌𝐚𝐝𝐝𝐲 𝐄𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐧 has been shaped by sorrow, growing up in a home scarred by her parents' addiction. Despite it all, she became the light in the dark. After their death, she was sent to live with her wealthy grandparents. Now, ready for a fresh start at college with her best friend, she never expected to meet Hunter-or the fire he would ignite within her. 𝐇𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐊𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐞 has been shaped by pain, growing up with an abusive, alcoholic father and a stripper for a mother. Fighting was survival, and when his brother tried to protect him by sending him away, he was left to face the world alone. Numb for years, he's forgotten how to feel-until Maddy. What happens when opposites attract? Will they heal or destroy each other completely, leaving only ruins behind? Welcome to Crestwood Elite, the world's most exclusive academy, where mafia heirs from across the globe come to master the skills of organized crime. 𝐒𝐧𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤: "I'm not doing anything!" Hunter's rough voice slices through the air. He's right next to me and I can feel his heat. His smell. 𝐌𝐲 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐤𝐢𝐬𝐬. "Well, do nothing over 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞. Away from me!" I point to a random car, further away from where we're standing. "And why would I do that?" He lifts a brow, amused. "Because I can't stand to be in your presence. You make me sick." He looks taken aback by that, but then his face darkens as he drawls. "You didn't seem to be sick when I had my tongue down your throat last night. In fact, I recall you moaning for more."

The Mate Killer by MissHstories

My body shook with fear, I hugged my knees to my chest, hidden in the small closet in my childhood bedroom at the pack house. My fingers were scabbed and bloody from my constant nibbling and picking at the skin. A stress induced behaviour. ''𝘿𝙚𝙚 𝙙𝙚𝙚...'' A voice snarled my nickname, prolonging each syllable just to torment me. I covered my mouth in an attempt to muffle my sporadic breaths. ''𝘾𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙤𝙪𝙩, 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙧𝙚.... 𝙄'𝙢 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙜𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙚𝙖𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙡𝙚 𝙤𝙣𝙚.'' It snickered, its amusement evident. I sobbed, it knew where I was. It was playing with me. Like a cat with a mouse. Only this was no cat. This was a lycan. A merciless, demonic, alpha lycanthrope. Blurb: Desdemona Price thought when she finally found her mate she would be happy. But she was wrong, he was an evil man, who had no care for her or the mate bond. It soon became clear to her that only one of them would survive. She did what she had to do. Leaving behind her pac and everything she'd known. But then her whole life changed when she was given a second mate, a chance to prove herself from the moon goddess. But can she trust him with the truth? Or is he just like her first mate? ⚠️Mature (18+ Readers Advised)🔞⚠️

Moon Bound/Blood Bound Duology by AlaraBirch

Part 1/Book One currently not available and in the professional editing stage. Part 2 UPDATED WEEKLY for current readers He finally released my legs, allowing me to slide down his body until my feet hit the floor, but that was as far as he let me go. Heat was radiating off him, scorching me all the way down my spine as he held me tightly against him. His quick breaths were falling on the back of my neck with a tingling warmth that brought goosebumps to the surface of my skin. Placing one large hand on my shoulder, he wrapped my long brown hair around his other. Gently, he tugged on my dark mane, pulling my head to the side and exposing the tender column of my neck. Bringing his nose down to the crook there, he inhaled deeply, a rumbling "mmmm" escaping his lips. My mouth went dry. "Are-" I swallowed. "Are you going to mark me?" I manage in a stuttered whisper. Book Blurb: Dr. Willa Grey has developed a little bit of a performance problem... Willa has a plan for how she wants to spend her life. She even fought for a rare opportunity to attend human medical school. Unfortunately for Willa, the time among humans denying her wolf instincts has had dire consequences that could ultimately mean her life.

Who is her mystery mate, and will he be her liberator or persecutor? Content Advisory: recommended 18+ due to strong language and sexual content Copyright 2024 Alara Birch, all rights reserved.

The Blue Wolf by ThatTeenageMess

Book 1: The Blue Wolf Blood, rain and mud filled my nose, whilst ripping, growling and snapping rang in my ears. My wolf was terrified. I was terrified. We were a new she-wolf, not ready for this type of battle. The power that we had right now was good, even if we were a hybrid. I don't think our opponent liked us a lot. He snapped and growled angrily before I was suddenly flung into the air, crashing down into a tree trunk. The base of the tree shook and trembled on impact as I crashed to the floor. A shot of pain flew through my back and my head felt dizzy. I looked into the eyes of the brown wolf. Black. Pitch black. No sign of emotion except anger and hatred. Fear rose in me and he growled again. Leaping forward, his teeth sink into the flesh of my neck. ------- Ylva is your average teenage werewolf. But her painful past is slowly catching up to her. She's not sure what she is... but will she figure it out before HE comes back again? THIS BOOK IS UNDER MAJOR EDITING - MORE INFORMATION IN THE FIRST PART/PROLOGUE OF THE STORY. Copyright ©
