Perish by nina_louelle

They were split apart as children. Reunited by force. Bound by secrets no one dares to name. At seven, Elisha was dropped into the foster care system, cold beds, colder hands, cut off from her twin sister and older brothers without explanation. Aurora stayed behind, raised by a mother who sold her body and a stepfather who promised to come back and never did. Eight years pass. The brothers return, dragging both girls into a home that barely feels like theirs. But this isn't a reunion, it's a collision. Elisha hides her trauma behind silence and sharpened edges, a hidden fire in her. Aurora masks hers with perfection, hunger, and a constant need to be chosen. Neither of them talks about the past. Neither of them knows how. Love simmers in forbidden places. Truths unravel in dangerous ways. And while the family tries to rebuild, they do so blindly, each of them hiding pieces of the story that might save the others, or destroy them. This isn't about healing. It's about surviving what no one else sees and what happens when survival isn't enough. Until everyone perishes. *Includes a good amount of smut. (MAJOR PLOT TWISTS) *************************************************** * MAJOR TRIGGER WARNING. * Rape.Abuse.Suicide.Death.Violence.Psychotic. Killing. Obsession. Deranged thoughts. * There will not be any warnings before triggers appear in the book. You have been warned.

The Bad Boy Next Door by didiwrotethat

"What's your name?" he asked sitting down beside me. "Natalia," I said shoving my phone into my back pocket. All of a sudden he started lighting a cigarette, which made me leap out of my seat and to stand in front of him. I hate the smell of smoke. "I won't burn you sheesh." He said rolling his eyes as he took in a puff of that toxic, deadly, nasty smoke. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Crushes, friends, homework, and bad boys. The basic highschoolers life. Natalia Tucker's life is nothing near basic. Read more to find out.

Out of Darkness by LiteraryLoveAffair_

Out of Darkness They thought she was gone forever. Buried. Forgotten. A ghost of a girl who never made it home. But Olivia Romano didn't die. She was forged in violence, raised in shadows, sharpened into something unbreakable. And now she's back in a world that would rather she stayed dead. Her family wants her loyalty. Her enemies want her blood. And one man-dangerous, magnetic, impossible to ignore-wants all of her. He's the fire she shouldn't touch, the temptation she swore she would never give in to. Yet every glance, every stolen moment, pulls her deeper into a bond that could save her shattered soul... or destroy them both. Because in the world she was born into, love is a liability. And falling for him may be the one weakness she can't survive. Completed 10/15/2025

Fragments of a Dissociative Universe by Frederic_Y

This isn't a story about rebellion. It's a story about survival. Born into a fractured world, my life was a blueprint for chaos. By fifteen, I was a veteran of two wars: one against a school system that punished my intelligence, and another against the ghosts of my own past. They called me a lost cause, but I was just a kid the world had given up on. I found a twisted refuge in the gritty, unpredictable pulse of 1990s Montreal. The punk scene, the drugs, the streets-it was all a way to trade a reality I couldn't bear for a chaos I could control. Survival became a reflex, a daily dance with destruction just to feel alive. Now, after years of walking through the same fire, the question remains: how far do you have to go before survival stops being enough? This is my map of a broken world. The testament of a boy who got lost, and the man still learning to live without a war. This is not about seeking hope. It's about becoming the storm.

She was always known as the 'Silent Girl' the one who no one goes near unless they wanted to go missing. People at her school believe she's a part of the most dangerous gangs The Vipers.

Fire And Ice by EmpressNyt

In the Supernatural world lies the Werewolf world. And in the Werewolf world lie packs. Natalia was the omega of her pack with the blood of an alpha. As you can imagine, she was deemed 'disrespectful' and the pack members would try to beat her into submission. Emphasis on try. You see, you can't beat an alpha into total submission. Illegitimate or not. Shifted or not. After her mate rejects her, she leaves. Runs. Hightails the hell outta there. And she promises to be back to tear them apart. This isn't a typical story of how a rejected, wounded she-wolf runs away, finds another pack then reluctantly returns to her old pack because of some useless mission to help them with rouges. Natalia will find things out about herself and her mother that she never would have guessed and go beyond the Werewolf world. There may be a few detours but: she promised to destroy them she promised to make them pay and in the end, Natalia never breaks her promises. Ever. ******************** You can join my Patreon (patreon.com/LalaLand464) for early access to chapters a week before they get to Wattpad.

Kids are put in mental institutions, young children sent to juvenile detention centers, families torn apart, and the hopes of living a normal life are ruined. I never live a normal life. I was five when placed in a mental institution. Yes, I met friends there and fulfilled some what of a destiny there but I grew up isolated and then faced with war. I, now, must push through this ever changing life to either die trying to fix everything or prevail and complete all that is set before me. Now, I must find out what is real from things that are just all in my head. © 2014 All Rights Reserved

Blurred by speakandbeHeard

(TH#4)"His mind is a chaotic mess, built of the kind of stuff you read about in a Stephen King novel. He couldn't control his anger any more than I could control my stomach from rumbling when I was hungry. He thought cursing like a sailor at others was morally acceptable, and most of all didn't seem to give a rat’s ass about himself. Any normal person would have stayed far, far away. But me? Well, I wasn't normal.” When Lilia Matthews' argumentative and dysfunctional family becomes too much to bear, she moves in with her grandfather for a summer in Heart, North Carolina. What she doesn't expect? Alec Grey. He's creepy, and dark, and frankly everything Lilia doesn't need to be getting involved with. But he has a few problems of his own. Besides the fact that he's certifiably crazy, he can't remember any of the events that led to him showing up on her grandfather's doorstep. And Lilia's apparent mission? To help him regain those memories. When they clash it's like fire and ice, but as Alec and Lilia find out, it's the craziest moments of all when that fine line between love and hate seems to blur. When you find out maybe going against the world all on your own isn't all it's cracked up to be. And that sometimes, it takes delving into the insanity of another to find the sanity within yourself.
