"To forgive does not mean to forget."

When Caiden Lewis first looked Alycia Collins in the eyes, he wasn't prepared to what he would find there, nor to how it would affect him.

And then, in the flick of the light, all of it was gone, replaced with a smile anyone would say is completely sincere. Even Caiden.

And at least he should know if it's a fake smile or a real one.

But he knew it wasn't, for one cannot smile sincerely just a moment after they had that look in their eyes.

The look of total and complete despair.

So Caiden decided he was gonna figure it out. Figure her out. How she does it, why she does it.

He was going to see what secrets lie in the shadow of her smile.

The Troubles of Angy by Haanjy

Alex held fast, his eyes never leaving hers, his grip gentle yet unyielding. "Tell me, Angy," he whispered again, his voice low and persuasive. "What has you so tense that you're so bent on getting away from me?" Angy's heart raced, her mind racing with excuses and evasions. But Alex's eyes seemed to see right through her, to the secrets she kept hidden deep within. She felt like a bird caught in a snare, unable to escape the gentle yet unyielding pressure of his gaze. As the music swirled around them, Angy knew she was at a crossroads. She could continue to evade and hide, or she could take a chance and reveal the truth. "Hey..." He urged in a trail. "I don't belong here." She finally said, swallowing a lump in her throat. "What?" "I don't belong here, Alex." She repeated, more firmly this time. "This... being here with you, I don't belong here." "What's going on? What nonsense are you saying?" He paused. "Did you hear Charlotte?" He gauged her acutely, trying to work out the truth as he felt his heart standing on the steep precipice of fear of her answer. Angy resisted the urge to recoil. Charlotte had said something to Alex. How much did he know? **** What secrets lie beneath his carefully constructed facade? And what mysteries shroud Angy, veiling her true identity from even herself? Could it be that the veins of their past ran deeper than they had envisaged? Delve into the enigma of their intertwined destinies, where every twist and turn reveals deeper layers of intrigue. Don't hesitate. Embark on this journey of discovery, where the shadows of the past converge with the uncertainty of the future. Unravel the tangled threads of their lives, for in their collision lies the key to unlocking the secrets that bind them together.

Brave Enough To Love Again by CalliopeBlythe

I stood with my back to her, shielding her, and my murderous eyes stared down at the poor excuse of a man, promising unimaginable pain if he dared to move or even flinch. The enormity of control it took me to suppress the impulse to eradicate the piece of scum, who dared to even think about laying a hand on a woman, was inconceivable. My whole body was trembling with rage. The guy was intimidated by the fury in my eyes and stumbled back to his intoxicated friends who were too dazed to understand the situation. I was disappointed and relieved at the same time that the chaos didn't end in a fist fight. When I turned around to console her, she was gone. And as I looked around, I saw her back just leaving the bar through the entrance. I hurried out to follow her. She walked ahead of me aimlessly and disoriented like a wounded animal that had just escaped the claws of death. My heart ached for her. I found a kindred soul in her. She evidently had been wounded in the past. Just like me. But in an even worse way than I had been hurt, and it angered me, that someone had dared to harm her. *** Eden Marie Simmons is still recovering after escaping an abusive relationship when she meets Keane, the broody and enigmatic neighbor who is shrouded in mystery. Both are still being haunted by their past and are not ready for a new commitment, but when fate repeatedly puts them in each other's paths, they can't deny their attraction for each other. Life challenges them both with secrets, lies, and broken trusts, and confronts them with their pasts. They both must learn to be brave enough to love again. *** Story is previously called "Paradise Lies"

Finding Obsidian by RavensFlyAway

He brushed his lips against my jaw, his dark hair falling over his brow. "Open your eyes," he commanded. "Look at me." I followed his orders and looked into the raven-black depths before me. I saw my entranced gaze reflected in his glaring one. "Tell me what you see." I kept on looking at him, searching for something, anything, that remained of the person he used to be. They say the eyes are the windows to the soul. But his eyes were so dark, so empty . . . "Nothing. I see nothing," I whispered. He smirked, his gaze still on me. He pulled away, leaving me feeling cold. "Exactly. You see nothing - that's because there's nothing there." ** How much can a person change in just three years? Short and full of fiery spirit, Hanna Jordan is a gifted college student who is enrolled in one of the most prestigious culinary programs in the country. She's just returned from three years of study in France and is anxious to reconnect with her longtime friend, Rian Aronhalt. However, when she does finally see him, she's startled to find that he's become an entirely different person. Cold, ill-tempered, and exceptionally attractive, Rian is absolutely nothing like his old self. Worst of all, he claims he doesn't even remember her. Despite their differences, both are haunted by dark memories of the past, which form a poisonous bond between Hanna and Rian that neither can escape from. Can they both heal from the scars time left behind, and find love in the process?

Scarred by CherylVylona

COMPLETED • • • She was so brave. He couldn't understand how she didn't hate him. He did this to her, he was the reason of her scar. Had she not meet him that night, her life would've gone on as per normal. She wouldn't have to hide in shame, she wouldn't have to cry to sleep. She shouldn't have gone through any of it. She barely knew him! -- "I don't need your pity." She said, turning her face away. He didn't see it, but he knew she must be tearing. Fuck, did it ache to watch her cry for the umpteenth time. He couldn't take it anymore. He cupped her face with both his hands, forcing her to look at him; to see the truth evident in his eyes. "Dammit, I'm in love with you!" ••• ION series: Book #1: Insatiable Book #2: Scarred Book #3: Game Over cover done by @AndiApplexoxo ♡︎

Her return by NiallFictionx

Him: "I've been looking for her for centuries now, and when I caught her scent at the party, I knew I have to go after her. No way in hell I will miss her. When I saw her in her wolf form, it was the most beautiful sight I have ever witnessed in my long life. And once she shifted and looked up at me with her doe eyes, I knew I was done for" Her: My heart was beating like crazy and my body was humming in pleasure. I dig my snout onto his neck and grace my canines over his fur absently. He growls in response, biting softly on my neck. I could spend hours smelling him and never get tired of it. He just felt so good, the feeling was incredible. I never felt like this before and I didn't want it to end. He then pulls away to look directly into my eyes and growls just one word: "Mine" *Beautiful cover by @santanartEN 💕 you can find her in Rose Gold Comunity🌹 ----- #5 in Supernatural (27/05/22) #1 in Luna (12/03/23) You can also find it on WEBNOVEL by Her Return: a new beginning
