A beautiful young woman, Aphra Devereaux leaves Paris after the death of her father to live in the mansion that was her deceased sister, Lady Freya Fitzroy’s home.  She finds the once grand Stoneleigh is now a gloomy, decaying mansion.  Additionally her sister’s husband Sir Roland is now a deranged drug addict.  To her surprise she finds her sister’s neglected child of whose existence she was unaware. Also a woman of dubious character appears to be managing Roland’s life. The only hope she has is Roland’s brother Edmund but he is away fighting in the Crimea.  The society background of her young life has not conditioned her for what she experiences at Stoneleigh or the filth and lowlife of the London streets and the hypocritical upper class London Society.

My Rogue (Book One) by Kyrian

Traitor. Whore. Unworthy. Coward. Murderer. Worthless. Nothing. Heartless. Is this what makes a rogue? Is this what condemns all rogues to death or life imprisonment? What if one was different? Different from the rapists and murderers? What if she was the light of your life. The fire of your loins. Your sin. Your soul. Your rogue. Can you forgive what your past has taught you about their kind? Can you reject her at first sight and lead her to death? Or watch as another tries to steal her from you. In this case Crystal Devereaux is cursed to be caught in between this turmoil. Will she live long enough to be happy with her mate? Or are happy endings overrated? (First book of my series. Contains Mature Content in most chapters just to warn you. Please enjoy)

The Atrophy of Clementine Darlington by TateCsernis

(FREE STORY with exclusive paid chapters | Soon editing!) ⊹ Book 1 of the Aldergrove Duology ⊹ With only six months to live, Clementine sets out to avenge his sister's murder, a quest that leads him to Aldergrove Academy, where a hundred students must fight to the death for a coveted chance to escape to the New World. *** Clementine is running out of time. With his body wasting away from a terminal illness, he has only one goal before he dies--track down the Ravenblood, the ones responsible for his sister's murder. His search leads him to Aldergrove Academy, where a hundred students must kill or be killed for a chance to escape to the New World. To survive, he realizes that he must form fragile alliances with other outcasts--Mathew, a quiet berserker; Mavis, a timid fae; and Elliot, his enigmatic roommate. But trust is dangerous in a school full of killers, and the deeper Clementine digs, the more he realizes that the Ravenblood aren't the only ones keeping secrets. And then there's him. A golden-eyed demon stalks Clementine through the halls, watching and taunting, his intentions unclear: does he want to kill Clementine, break him...or claim him? But as bodies pile up and horrors unravel, he has to wonder--what's more terrifying? The students desperate enough to kill, the monsters lurking in the dark, or the demon who refuses to leave his side?

Unwanted Mates (Black Moon Book One) by GosiaAC

"He can die 'cause we haven't had sex?" I say as the weight of what she's just told me hits me like a ton of bricks. "The longer the Alpha stays in that state the more dangerous it gets. The pressure on the body because of a conflict with his decision not to mate with you and his wolf's need to mate carries a huge risk." BLACK MOON Book One completed a stand-alone story. ***** Alpha Mikkeli Blackwood is strong, but he wasn't always strong. His past was painful and full of fear until because of his first kill he gained respect. Now 27 he rules his pack with an iron fist as an Alpha of the Blackwood Pack. Even though strict and merciless Mikkeli is a fair leader who values power a little too much. With a sudden exposure to his older brother's secrets, he is forced to give shelter and protection to relatives he has never expected to have. To make matter worse one of them is 19 years old human girl who seems to be the first one in years not to show any respect for him... Hannah has just lost her parents and is now faced with the responsibility to raise her 3 werewolf siblings being human herself along with a sudden danger lurking in the shadows. Forced to trust those she was taught to never trust, Hannah has to face a completely new life in the werewolf pack ruled by forceful Alpha Blackwood. Although werewolves shouldn't have secrets from their pack, Hannah is to find out that Blackwood Pack is full of secrets and some of them are deadly... „The book had all sorts of elements of emotions like mystery, romance, guilt, etc. I loved the plot, glad it's not a regular rejection book. Love how the story is unfolding after each chapter" Review by @simrangharge, Twirling pages (The Review book) THIS IS MY FIRST BOOK AND I HOPE YOU ALL WILL HAVE AS MUCH FUN READING IT AS I HAD WRITING IT :) THERE ARE SOME HEAVY TOPICS MENTIONED (like rape and child abuse). PLEASE COMMENT :) None of the pictures used in this book are mine.

Moonshine by EdsGryff

𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐝 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 '𝐀𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞' 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 'I love you. I'll find you. I love you.' The lengths one can go for love. The sacrifices one can make for love. The tortures one can endure for love. Marriage takes effort, and no one will find out just how much effort it takes like Sanya Pevensie will. Quests and transformations and mortality, and struggles painful enough that the Sanya who had been a Princess could never have imagined. Grief drives even the most wise of people to rashness, and no one understands that more than Edmund Pevensie does. Brash brothers, compatriots that were once enemies, and a Narnia that the Edmund of the Golden Age would not have recognised. But marriage and grief are not the forté for all. Susan prefers solemnity, and brooding in silence. Lucy thinks listening is all she can do, in her little body. Peter must protect his land, damned be the pretty dark eyes of the Prince who had stolen his home. And how easy humans are to manipulate? No one knows that better than the Faerie Queen. - 𝗪𝗔𝗥𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗦: Dark themes, violence, strong language, nonconsensual voyeurism, self-harm, attempted suicide, sexual scenes, mental and physical torture, use of f-slur, unintentional animal abuse, dubious sexual consent, reflection on past trauma, memory of attempted rape and assault, murder. . . . . . #3 in #narniaau (27/06/2022) #7 in #medievalfantasy (27/06/2022) #90 in #faeries (8/8/2022) •••• The Alliance Series, as found on @EdsGryff: 'Alliance' 'The Heirs' 'Moonshine' 'Fairytale?' ••••

The Girl Who Saw Tomorrow » Harry Potter by bugsies

✨ FEATURED on WattpadPotterverse 🪄 This story now has assistive text-to-speech 🗣️ so you can listen to each chapter ✨ ❝I solemnly swear that I am up to no good...❞ Margaret Adelaide Xenakis had a pretty normal life until the age of 14. And then she got struck by lightning. As if nature's unnecessary assault was not enough, it leaves her with 'voodoo stuff' instead - powers of telekinesis, telepathy, teleportation, and whatnot. Now at 16, trying to deal with the loss of her twin brother while suppressing her destructive powers, the struggling teen has much on her platter already. When she gets struck by lightning once again and wakes up in an unfamiliar place surrounded by way too many redheads, a bushy-haired girl and a bespectacled boy with a lightning-shaped scar on his forehead... Let's just say Margaret's life might've gotten weirder than she could have ever imagined. Reading the Harry Potter books had been just a hobby. But suddenly, Margaret is burdened with the weight of knowing the future. She has to not only weave her way through the Wizarding World and fight in a war she had believed was fictional, but also save everyone who did not deserve to die in the crossfire. Talk about tough luck. ~ Warning: probably contains plot boo-boos like the inclusion of the movie storyline :) This is NOT an OC X Harry Potter story.

Redamancy- Fred Weasley Fanfic by mrs_lexi_weasley

Redamancy- The act of loving someone who loves you back, a love fully returned MATURE- Wattpad likes to take away my tag so, it is mature if they turn it off again.

Having suffered from the foster care system and her time at the girl's home, her beliefs of herself have been twisted. The reason she has strange things happen to her is not because she is a demon as the nuns that raised her in the girl's home taught her to believe, but because she is a witch. She has hope her life will change for the better when she finds new friends at Hogwarts, but she quickly becomes an outsider to everyone. Why does she suffer so much physical pain when there isn't anything wrong? What happens when she starts to fall for the brother of someone who makes her life so incredibly miserable? How will their relationship be able to survive when everything is against them? Will they be able to fight through a war, family, and the knives thrown at their relationship?
