If You Love Me by slybatspidow

"If you love me, you won't leave me." Jessie has believed those words from her boyfriend, Josh, since senior year of high school. She loves him and doesn't want to leave him. Not even when he shouts at her and hits her. Jessie's best friend, Kolleen, can't stand seeing her in that situation. With a bit of convincing - and the worst beating she'd ever received - Jessie agrees to move into an apartment with Kolleen. But not long after, Jessie is scared the worst of her nightmares will soon become a reality. Josh goes missing, and suddenly Jessie would swear she's being followed. One night changes everything, and one person soon changes Jessie's outlook. A responding officer from that fateful night begins to seek her out, at first claiming it's part of his job. As she spends time with her new friend outside of his job, she starts realizing that her feelings are evolving. After being abused for over a year, Jessie is terrified she's falling in love. What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet. She makes up her mind that if he is falling, and if he does love her, he'll wait for her to be ready, and if she loves him, she won't let herself hurt him. Can the words that used to cage her in really be the key to her freedom? --- Featured On: @NA: Take a seat and let it be | Mature Content and 18+ reading list @NA: You deserve the world | Mental Health reading list Ambys Top Picks New Adult 2023

Accidental Alpha by M_A_Hartman

When the goddess anoints a new alpha, he must claim a city. He must also choose a mate. ------------ Until recently, beta werewolf Lee Bloodmoon lived a simple life, working as a security guard for the Stillwater Casino in Hecate City, Oregon. But all that changed when he defended his sister from the mad former alpha, Owen Stillwater. Raised to the status of alpha by the goddess Hecate, Lee is told he must leave the only home he's ever known and claim a city to rule over. If that wasn't bad enough, he needs to find a luna before the next full moon. Who wants to marry a stranger? Certainly not a notoriously commitment-phobic man. Born into the lowest caste of werewolves, omegas, Kelsi Kohl is excited about the changes promised by the new Hecate City alpha, Ryan Stillwater. When her family receives an invitation to a ball hosted by Alpha Lee Bloodmoon, Kelsi begrudgingly attends with her older sister. She knows there's no way an alpha will consort with an omega, but the goddess Hecate has other plans. Invisible threads pull Kelsi and Lee together and soon Kelsi finds herself elevated to luna, a position she never imagined herself in. Finding your soulmate is wonderful, but life isn't all sunshine and roses. Especially when facing opposition from the citizens of Silver Rush, Nevada -- none of whom are excited to have a pair of werewolves take over their tiny town. Sequel to "Fall With Me", but may be read as a stand-alone. [Rated M for intimate situations, swearing, and violence.] Cover designed by @myie_laura

Heart of Stone (Parts I & II) by Joflower

[COMPLETE] Some bonds can't be broken, even in death. -- He couldn't endure another heartbreak. "Accepting her would be a mistake," he said. "She's a human. I can't afford to have her blood on my hands." Gwen looked away, and he knew she saw the image that flashed in his mind. The slaughter. Bodies everywhere. The putrid stench of decay and metallic blood seeping through his fingers and staining the earth under his feet. The small, lifeless body in his hands whose death he couldn't prevent. And whose death he could never forget. "It won't be like that with her," she murmured to the floor. "I won't take that chance." Heavy with sorrow, her brown eyes looked up into his. "Not everyone is given a second chance. Take it." -- Soulmates only come along once in a lifetime. Or so everyone thought. She was his second chance. But her heart loved another. Fate would bring them together, and Fate would tear them apart. -- **A slow-burning, sensual love story with a splash of humor, a dash of action, and a lot of heart.** Rated PG-13 for adult content (coarse language, violence, and non-explicit sex) [There is a separate R-rated scenes book for those who want steamier scenes] CONTAINS: alpha lycan x human mates, strong female lead, second chance mates, reincarnation (tabula rasa), love-triangles, vampires, action, drama, humor, relatable characters, high stakes, passionate romances VOID OF: "insta-love," extremely possessive, aggressive, abusive alpha mates, Stockholm Syndrome *OVERALL WINNER of 2017 Flower's Awards*

My Protector ✔ by Midnight_Love

I sighed, trying to think of ways to apologize when the door swung open. I looked up, expecting Jay to be there. But it was my father. Drunk. His eyes went wide at the sight of me. However, his expression of shock soon turned into pure and utter loathing. "You rotten child!" He grabbed my arm. You could smell the Tobacco and Beer on his breath, so strong it made your eyes water. He thrust me into a wall, the one that separates my room from Jay's. He must have heard the thump, because right after a few blows and a bloody nose received from the drunk, he came charging in. He pushed my father away. "Don't touch my sister!" He demanded. Jay . . . no. He tumbled over and fell on my nightstand, crushing it. His head shot up and he glared at my brother. "So you came home too?" He snarled, lunging himself at Jay, pinning him to the floor as multiple blows struck my brother. "No!" I shrieked, trying to tug him off. "Stop it!" I demanded. He brought his hand back and smacked me across the face. I tumbled over, letting a cry of agony roar out. ******************** Lillieona Snipes lived a life of constant fear with no where to go and no one to turn to, except her big brother Jacob. But what happens when she come in contact with the gorgeous and mysterious Mike? Feelings are explored, lives are at stake. Everything Lilly has ever know soon becomes a complete lie and she's not sure what's real or not. Will Lillieona remain the same or will her life be forever changed?

Stolen Pages by theloneranger_

~Her words were my poison. I used them to consume myself. Disturbingly honest. Painfully strained. Carefully penned down. Dangerously addictive.~ A journal that landed in the right hands and told a whole story with words, no lips could speak. Two people bound by the pages of a book that tore their souls apart. He found it lying around and wondered what could go wrong. He didn't recognise the handwriting but he knew he instantly fell in love with it. Then it began. The assault of words on his life. He couldn't believe a word she wrote but somehow he did. He knew more about her than anyone else but he knew so little about who she was... It was maddening. How someone could have such an impact on you without having a single conversation with you. Her precious words tortured his existence, they drowned him in misery, created a black hole of words around him, gave him everything he needed to live. Made him fall in love. Gave him a world of his own. Made him believe in rainbows, unicorns, coffee, the basis of happiness, the meaning of every sunrise, the mystery of every deep ocean, she made him human. He knew he had to find her. He had to find out who she was. He had given him all the clues he needed but none of them were enough to prepare him for who she was. But sometimes... The journey is more important than the destination. Sometimes, the journey is the destination. A book full of stolen pages and a boy full of curiosity. This was how he let her shape his story. __________________ Description inside. Italics = Journal entry. 500 word chapters. Okay, so I don't know if you want to read it yet but it would mean the world to me if you could give it a shot.
