A story that I had written a long time ago and it took a lot of thought and effort to get it refined enough for other eyes. Credit to my friend Devin for helping with the structure and ending of the story. This story is just a short retelling of a broken man's life after the Civil War.

TRAGICALLY BROKEN: The Broken Series, Book 1
Her past brought us together, but it was mine that tore us apart. She was stunning-long, wavy hair and a smile that could bring a man to his knees. The moment my eyes locked onto hers, there was no one else. Not the party around me. Not the blonde on my lap whispering in my ear. Just her. I told myself it was nothing. My eyes wandered to beautiful women all the time. But there was just something about this one that drew me in. I needed to talk to her, needed to know her. That's why, when the girl on my lap tried to stake her claim, I was quick to shut her down. But I was too late. The brunette was already gone-vanished like a fire had been lit beneath her feet. A scream. That's how I found her. Crumpled beneath the trees. Battered. Broken. I held her until help arrived, but somewhere between finding her and letting her go, she'd already carved herself into parts of me I'd never get her out of. I couldn't forget her-couldn't let go of what had happened to her. And apparently neither could he. Because the man who assaulted her is back, and he's not letting her go without a fight. I just didn't expect I'd become the reason for everything that came next. ___________ PLEASE NOTE: This book contains dark themes and sensitive subject matter that may be difficult for some readers.

The Forgotten Ones (A Completed Steamy, Historical Romance)
We know a lot about the American Civil War. We know about the battle at Gettysburg and how Sherman burned Atlanta but do you know many individual stories? Follow Oliver and Naomi from their arranged marriage through the war. It will be quite a journey as Naomi faces the war home alone and Oliver fights battle after battle. She will face one of the cruelest band of the southern militia army as she tries to protect the people she loves most. This is a story about the ones left home during the war. The one's who earned no great merit or place in history. The forgotten heroes of a bloody war that stood for freedom and equality for all Americans. I based some of facts in the story on writings left behind by my family that lived here in Indiana in the 1860s. My ancestors were Quaker and they were abolitionists in Indiana. We still have their homes used in the underground railroad in our family. My other side was endangered servants from Ireland and my great-great-grandfather was, unfortunately, one of the soldiers that came to Indiana while serving under John Hunt Morgan. He was the rest of my family's enemy. https://www.wattpad.com/646167251-the-forgotten-ones-a-completed-steamy-historical Please keep in mind this story is based in America during the 1860s and it was a different time.

Is it too late to say Sorry?
"The fuck you are leaving me." His roar cracked through the hall like lightning. Ara didn't blink. She stood there, calm as death, done to her core. No tears. No tremble. Just a weary exhale as she turned her back on him - the one thing he never thought she'd do. Before she could take a step, his hand shot out, gripping her arm like he was holding on to life itself. "Where are you going, Ara!" His command shook the pack. But she wasn't his to command. Not anymore. Ara ripped her arm free with a force that made even his wolf recoil. "Don't. Touch. Me." Her aura slammed into him, cold and merciless. "You think I'll stand here and watch you mate and breed her?" she hissed, every word a dagger. His throat bobbed. "She meant nothing." She laughed - sharp, broken, brutal. "Yeah? That's why you were fucking her in your office? Couldn't even hide the scent of your betrayal." "Ara, it was a mistake-" She stepped closer, eyes blazing. "Your mistakes come in episodes, Alpha. Season one, season two, season three. You don't make mistakes. You make choices." He swallowed hard. "I don't need her. I need you." "Lies," she spat. "Every damn sentence you breathe is a lie. I can't even look at you without feeling sick." He flinched like her words physically hit him. "That female behind you?" she pointed, not bothering to glance. "Perfect for you. Go mark her. Breed her. Hell, fuck her for all I care." Her voice cracked - but she kept going, blade steady even when bleeding. "I don't need you. Not anymore." His knees crashed to the floor. The mighty Alpha. On the ground. For her. "Ara... I'm sorry. I'm really fucking sorry." His voice broke like he finally understood what loss tasted like. She stared at him with a sad, devastating smile. "Isn't it too late for that, Mate?" One tear escaped - and she crushed it away with her thumb. Then she turned. Walked. Didn't look back. But he didn't chase her. Because he knew. He didn't just lose her. He wrecked her.Complete![𝘚𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘣𝘺 𝘎𝘰𝘥 [𝓒𝓸𝓶𝓹𝓵𝓮𝓽𝓮𝓭✔]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/252766620-256-k64724.jpg)
