Gabriel & Athena, Book One: Fate  (A Wattpad Featured Story) by NMBooks
26 parts Complete
FORMERLY TITLED "FATUM" Chosen as a Wattpad Featured Story in May 2017 There's a reason high school senior Athena Thorpe spends every available moment reading books: fiction is always so much better than the real world. Even the unexpected scandal she suffered thanks to Jackson Montgomery was just a blip in her typically mundane existence in Sparrow, North Carolina. But no story could ever compare to the life-altering events that occur when Gabriel Valente moves into town. Being the son of a notorious crime lord and having grown up on the streets of Manhattan, Gabriel defies all the expectations the students of Sparrow High have for him, including Athena's. She never expected he would match her interest in the written word, or his unlikely grand gestures and definitely not the immediate but intense feelings which cause them to spiral into a secret relationship. A relationship that hinders on Gabriel's uncertain future, which could find him being the heir to the mob throne. Whether or not she wants to admit it, Athena knows the world Gabriel comes from is a dark and violent one. It's just really easy to pretend it doesn't exist within the bubble that is Sparrow. Yet, no matter how much we pretend, reality is never far away, with Gabriel and Athena learning a tragic lesson about choice and consequence a little too late. When you finally decide what you want most in life, the next question becomes: will fate agree?

In a world shadowed by an ancient prophecy and hidden intentions, four lives are set on a collision course that will determine the fate of all. Harlow, a fifteen-year-old boy raised in wealth and privilege, begins to unravel a dark truth: he was never meant to be a part of the family who raised him. An outsider placed in their midst for reasons unknown, he will have to unravel his true identity before his fate catches up with him. Tobias, a hardened twenty-five-year-old, is a warrior for the Circle, a powerful order of priests sworn to protect the realm from the dark forces stirring in secret. His mission is clear: retrieve Harlow and return him to the Circle's lands. But as he finds Harlow, he realizes the journey will test not just his skills, but his loyalty to everything he knows. Meanwhile, Margaret, another agent of the Circle, is searching for a different child--a girl shrouded in legend. Rumored to possess golden hair and misty white eyes, she is the prophesied one, a light against the growing darkness. Her existence is one of mystery, and her power could change everything, if only she can be found. Unknown to them all, the girl is waiting. Hidden from the world yet bound to it, she senses the darkness closing in, and with it, her own awakening. She knows she was born to fight this evil, but the question remains: can she, Harlow, Tobias, and Margaret uncover their destinies before it's too late? In a tale of shifting alliances, mysterious forces, and a destiny carved in shadow, four souls must come together to face the evil that threatens to consume everything they know.
Riva Muma Aria Buckingham: Her Love and Loss by 1DivineGoddess
27 parts Complete Mature
The sea was restless the night Aria Buckingham was born. Dark waves crashed violently against the cliffs of Port Royal, their rage whispering secrets only the wind could hear. The sky, black as sin, carried no moon-only streaks of silver lightning splitting through the heavens like vengeful swords. In a grand estate, nestled just beyond the harbor, a woman labored in pain, her screams swallowed by the storm. "She must not be born near the water!" an elderly midwife pleaded. "The prophecy-" A man loomed in the candlelight, his face shadowed with fear. His name was Lord Edward Buckingham, a powerful British noble whose wealth stretched across the Caribbean. He had spent his life running from the legend that now threatened his child. His wife, Isla, lay trembling in the bed, her face pale as foam on the tide. "She is coming," Isla whispered, her grip tightening around his wrist. "She belongs to the sea." "No," Edward growled, turning his back on her. "She belongs here, with me." Lightning struck the shore outside, sending an eerie blue glow through the window. And then-silence. A baby's cry pierced the night. But it was not the cry of an ordinary child. The windows shattered. The candles flickered. And in the wind, a voice, ancient and sorrowful, carried from the waves: "She will return to us, Edward Buckingham. No man can keep the sea from what is rightfully hers." Edward's blood ran cold. He staggered back, watching as the midwife cradled the newborn girl, her tiny fingers curling around the silver locket Isla had placed around her neck. A locket inscribed with a name-Aria. As the storm raged on, Edward made a decision that would change Aria's fate forever. She would never know who she truly was. She would never see the sea. And she would never-ever-learn the truth of her mother's death. Not if he could help it.

He's miserable... At least that was until his eighteenth birthday where he has the most bizarre encounter. A break-in at his own home from an organization that holds a secret from the entire world! Now, he attempts to find his life's purpose, coming across many friends as well as enemies, many obstacles, great pain, deep love, and important life lessons. It's up to him to decide whether or not he's the one in control of his own life. !!!CAUTION!!! IF YOU ARE ONE TO READ BOOKS BY THE LAST CHAPTER TO SEE IF YOU ARE INTERESTED, CHAPTERS TOWARD THE END OF THIS BOOK CONTAIN HUGE SPOILERS THAT MAY RUIN OR ALTER THE DESIRED EXPERIENCE AND ENJOYMENT AND IF YOU STILL WISH TO READ THE LAST CHAPTER I SUGGEST CHAPTER 53! Info of my writing style and this book: • This book is written from the first-person point of view. Everything he thinks about; everything you read, will be the exact moment of everything that's happening. When Nathaniel gets cut off and interrupted, his thoughts will be interrupted as well. • I'll put seven periods to indicate a change in the scene; to show that time has passed since the last scene. • Bolded names are important characters to Nathaniel and the story • This book contains vulgar and sometimes erotic descriptive language. • This book is targeted toward a young adult audience.
