Seventeen-year-old Matthias has been deaf for his entire life. He's used to living in a hearing world. He's used to overwhelming pity, well-meaning but naive waitresses with Braille menus, and "deaf kids hearing for the first time" montage videos. But being used to something and liking it are two different things. And contrary to popular belief, he likes being deaf. Just not when his parents consider wrapping him in bubble wrap and putting bars on the windows whenever he mentions wanting to see the world on his own. Not really...but really.

Kale suffers from crippling anxiety. That's not a good thing. Not when you live two thousand years in the future where that kind of stuff is supposed to be preemptively snuffed out with a single procedure at birth. Not when you have powers that can destroy an entire ecosystem if you lose control. And especially not when you're trapped in the past with an overzealous deaf boy as your only ally. While being pursued by a bloodthirsty organization looking for a key to the future. Yeah, definitely not a good thing.

Jade made a mistake. He was at the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong person. The wrong person just so happened to be from the future, he just so happened to fall in love, and then everything went suddenly, horribly wrong. Now, locked away with a ragtag group of people who possess freakish abilities, his only chance at going home is to prove what everyone thinks he isn't: normal. And with a library of secrets inside his head and a heart twisted by bitterness and regret, he can't afford to make any more mistakes.

Can three outcasts overcome their struggles and fight for who they are? Or will their differences be their downfall? In a world where everyone wants to be perfect, sometimes acceptance matters more.

*TO MY BELOVED READERS: PLEASE NOTE THIS IS AN OLD VERSION THAT DOES NOT CONNECT WITH THE PREVIOUS TWO BOOKS (BLOOD MOON FALLS & THEA'S HOMECOMING) IN THE SOCIETY SERIES. THIS HAS BEEN RE-UPLOADED UNTIL THE REWRITE OF BOOK 3 HAS BEEN COMPLETED. UNTIL THEN, YOU CAN ENJOY THIS COMPLETED VERSION. THANK YOU.* There comes a time when someone comes along to wreak havoc in our world. They make us question everything we thought we knew. Even about ourselves. For Kale Ray, he's not so sure if, when that moment arises, is a good thing or not. Subtle moments with a certain someone, since his first arrival at Blood Moon Falls, has made him undeniably uncomfortable. His initial instinct is to leave well enough alone. Then out of the blue, Kale decides to step out of his comfort zone and do the unthinkable: Befriend Easton. But the once happy-go-lucky Werewolf won't make it so easy. After losing his twin sister seven years prior in a battle between Societal Hunters and Werewolves, Easton is now moodier than Kale's cousin, Thea, which is saying something! Helping Easton heal is a lot easier said than done with the Were's blue-eyed icy gaze, his flip-flop moments of kind gestures, and Kale trying to wrestle alcoholic beverages out of the Were's hands. Bottom line: Kale's gotta lot of work to do. But you know what the problem with mending a broken heart is...? Having no warning what that person is doing to yours. ***WARNING: MATURE CONTENT***

Half of My Heart ✔️ by koolkenz

how far would you go . . . for someone you love? ♔ Levi steps forward, placing himself between me and Jack. Like he's protecting me from him. But I don't need protecting, certainly not from Jack. "Who do you think you are, dude?" Levi spits, getting in Jack's face. "Look, Scarlett was just helping me out with a proj-" "I'm not your dude," Jack bites, and I want to tear my hair out of my head. This is going downhill very fast. Jack turns to me. "Scar, we need to talk," he says lowly. Then loud enough for Levi to hear, "So can you please get this kid to leave." "Hey, you don't get to come in here and start ordering her around," Levi says harshly. "You don't control her." "And you think that you do?" Jack spits. ♔ When Scarlett moved off to college, she hoped to start anew and find her way in this world alone. Two problems. One: her older brother goes to the same college, and it seems like he's everywhere, keeping her from doing everything she hoped to do as a college freshman. Two: her brother's devastatingly handsome best friend also seems hell-bent on ruining her college experience . . . but in a different way. Their paths keep crossing, and Scarlett is reminded of the powerful attraction that they've both ignored for far too long. Not to mention, a new face begins to occupy everyday Scarlett's thoughts. When Scarlett is paired with an allusive, darkly handsome stranger for a film project, her world begins to open in ways she never thought possible. But as his mystery unravels into dark secrets, she wonders if she's falling a bit too hard. Before long, Scarlett is forced to realize that balancing the hearts of two boys at once just might result in the breaking of her own.

"I only have one request if you're going to keep me in suspense all day long." "What's that?" The movement of her lips drew his eyes down. "Let me kiss you again?" That voice, breathy and low, set Taly's heart racing. His lips twitched at the corners-he could hear it. Now that he could use his magic, he knew exactly the kind of effect he was having on her. But he didn't move. He waited. Her choice. She set the pace. Taking a shaky breath, she jerked her head. Yes. *** Magic marked her for suffering. Magic will save her. Magic will lead her home. On Tempris, time magic is outlawed, and suspected time mages are hunted. Humans are second-class citizens, shunned by the immortal fey that live on the island. They even have a name for their kind: Shardless. Taly is one of the lucky humans. Taken in by a fey noble and his family, she's lived a good life, surrounded by people she loves. But when an accidental brush with magic causes her to see things -- ghostly apparitions that give her small glimpses into the future -- it has deadly consequences. The Sanctorum has returned to the island, and if they find her, they'll kill her. And anyone that tries to protect her. This includes her best friend, Skye. He was the boy that saved her. The man she knew she could never have. And when he refuses to let her go, their actions might hold the power to reshape the world. An ancient evil is rising, and in order to protect those that she cares for, Taly will have to sacrifice everything. Including her heart.

Weigh Out Way-In by JASaak

There is an unexpected turn in the story that drastically changes the course of events and, in the long run, even the lives of those involved. Magpie, the first to be involved, suddenly finds himself in the world so unlike his own. Will he find his place there or will he be at least able to go back home? He seems to find his way back from this new world of giga-dimensions but something unwanted happens, and things go worse. The cultural differences, together with a challenging personality traits of another involved in the events, suck Magpie and his friends into a downward spiral. The story challenges you to see the world differently from the perspective you are perhaps too used to and narrowed by. Life can be an adventure if you don't narrow it with a bigotry that forces you to be rooted in your trenches and behind your dividing walls. This doesn't mean you have to accept others' views without standing your ground. However, to be able to share our lives in this one and only world we need to make compromises, on both sides. Are you the first brave one to set this positive trend in motion? So read on and let the foundation of the story be laid. From the end of episode 1 on, the story really picks up, finally reaching its climax at the end of episode 3 with quite a surprising finish. Your participation in solving this shared challenge of coexistence and cooperation is highly appreciated. Remember those who cooperate make more progress than those who don't! The ideal audience for my first book is actually between 12 and 16, but anybody older and interested in adventures, cultures and in getting more understanding into our multifaceted world is sure to enjoy the story. (The whole story has now been published, the only thing I'll still add is the final epilogue but the story is already available in its entirety.)

BLIND 🌑CORA HALE🌑 by stayleyhasmyheart

It happened so fast. It was all chaos. The emotions. The tears. The pain. Flashes. One second...I could see. The next...I had been blinded...by my best friend. My own best friend lashed out at me and slashed his claws across my eyes. Permanently blinded. Never to see again. Now I'm terrified...I've always been afraid of being blind. And now that I am...I'm living my worst fear for the rest of my life. And on top of that...since I'm blind...they kicked me out of the pack and stopped being friends all together. Leaving me alone by myself. Helpless. Defenseless. Useless. Never able to drive my mom's beloved Jeep ever again. Overwhelmed with this constant fear of being blind. It never went away. It was just darkness. Endless...perpetual...darkness. And the sad part is...I'll never be able to make it stop. So...there you have it...my friends are no longer my friends, my former best friend blinded me, I can never drive again, and now I'm depressed...oh, and terrified. So...yeah. Now I'm the much less cool version of Dare Devil that has no fighting skills, no sixth sense, no nothing. I'm just...blind. But there was one person who went against everyone else. A beautiful werewolf...named Cora Hale. And if it wasn't for her...I'd be dead right now. ©️stayleyhasmyheart All Rights Reserved.

The Silence Between Us by splashcoke16

After an accident in eighth grade, Louisa Kelley was blind. Every day was a struggle for her as she tried to adjust to life both at school and at home, but life got easier with practice. As soon as Louisa entered high school, things had changed for the worse. The students around her bullied her because she was different, harassing her, stealing her things, and talking about her behind her back, making an already difficult life so much harder. Now in her junior year of high school, Louisa is broken and without anyone to call a friend. She eventually decides to remove herself from the bullies that surround her daily and be home schooled. That is, until she met Alex. Alex Mirren was born deaf, but when he was six years old, he received a cochlea implant that allowed him to hear. Even after the ten years of speech therapy where he had to teach himself how to hear, Alex prefers to stay in the silence and only communicates with the world when necessary. Life seemed dull to him as he was stuck in between two worlds of silence and noise, not knowing his purpose or place in society. That is, until he saw a girl with a walking stick in the hallways. Louisa and Alex weren't made for each other. Although the very presence of each other gives them new hope and strength, things are difficult as Louisa thrives by using her hearing, while Alex shies away from sound and uses sight. Without being able to communicate easily, they must learn to overcome the barrier of the silence between them, which is easier said than done. But aren't the struggles worth it to be with that one person that means everything?
