Kinda meant to be cliche and corny "I never said that this life was going to be all sunshine and rainbows, baby." "I never expected that, baby" I mock his words. "Plus I never asked to be dragged into this shit." "Well, glad that you decided to stay." He smirks knowing I didn't have a choice. "Oh fuck off." I roll my eyes crouching beside him. His face hovers over mine and I forget where we are for a moment. I look down at his lips as his breath fans my face. More gunshots rang out and by now I was used to it. He looks from my eyes to my lips grabbing my hand and pulling me with him. "Let's go." He says and I hold onto him for dear life. Literally. Kiona James is a 23 year old college student still working on getting her degree. She was darkskin, short, and thicker than any other woman around her. Truly a beauty. Slowly wanting to gain her confidence, she goes out more. That doesn't work out too well. Minding her business as always, she gets caught up with Jackson Taylors' mess. He is a 26 year old gang leader who came and changed her life. Forever. With dark brown hair and eyes that changed color in the sunlight, he was cocky, arrogant, and rich. Kiona was determined to put him in his place. Warnings! Curse words. May be mature scenes

Anyone But Her by LorPhoenix
31 parts Complete
Wren and Kenna hated each other in high school. Now mature-ish adults, they still hate each other. The problem? They're engaged. A year away from marriage, according to two of the most powerful people in the world: their parents. ***** Wren Castile and Kenna Gold are engaged...because their parents say so (and no, they're not kidding). Wren has one year to marry her former nemesis, or else. The fact that Kenna emulated her infamously anti-gay father throughout high school seems to be irrelevant--even to Kenna herself. Suddenly Wren and the girl she never wanted to see again are on the same (bickering) side as they face mandatory dates, disastrous family get-togethers, and their unhappy past. Wren is filled with mistrust, but to protect her heart, she might just have to sit back and let it lead the way. Content/Trigger Warning: This story contains references to and/or scenes of homophobia, childhood trauma, bullying, violence, and suicide.

I'm looking out for you, I can see right past this bullshit facade!" "Then tell me" he begins to walk towards me until my back reaches the wall. "What do you see?" "I see.." He presses his forehead against mine while his hands stay balled up against the wall above me. "Say it Joslyn..please." "We shouldn't be in this position...you have to-" "Joslyn." he whispers. His voice is filled with something I can't quite place. "Someone might see us." I whisper.

[Completed] Taylor Daniels. Average name, average face, average girl. What about her life? Well, that's a bit complicated. Finding out her werewolf heritage was not part of the seemingly normal life Taylor lived. She'd always been the strong but silent type, concentrating on getting good grades and pleasing her mother. But all that changes when she's merely picked up and dropped into the world of werewolves. She'll have to dust herself off and learn to live with the fact that her life was a lie. What's even more deranged is that her life is at risk. And who can possibly help her? Her so called "mate" Leo Knight. A forced marriage between the two is the only thing keeping her safe, but what happens when this little compromise turns into a whirlwind of attraction, hate, jealousy, and possible love? Can Taylor hold on to her only hope of sanity, or be whisked away in the world of werewolves, where her family, herself included, are a bunch of overgrown dogs? Taylor may seem shy on the outside, but dealing with a sarcastic, rude, arrogant mate has her standing up for herself and ultimately, facing her crazy consequences. Despite her situation, the confusing part is the possible attraction she has to Leo. And to think, it all started with two simple words..."I Do." THIS BOOK IS CURRENTLY BEING EDITED! If you are fine with reading it as is, go ahead! But I am currently editing it to remove multiple grammatical errors, as well as improving the story line and filling in some missing gaps that I failed to address the first time writing this. The finished product will be up soon! If you still would like to read this book, go ahead but you have been warned!

"I hate you," she whispered softly, as if the words were a secret meant more for her than for me. "I know, baby." A subtle smile played on my lips as I spoke, and I gently buried my head in the warmth of her neck. "And it better stay that way." ♡ He met his match. A person unwavering to his dirty antics merely because of his popularity and the constant fulfillment of his desires. Perhaps that's what fueled his resentment toward her. She refused to be one of his "fans". She fought back, talked back, and boldly rebuked him. She provoked him, opposed him, leaving an indelible mark on his ego. He loathed her for it. Why couldn't she play the submissive pawn or step aside? In turn, she despised his inflated ego and the way he believed the world revolved around him. Their rivalry extended beyond mere dislike, permeating through academics, sports, and the rich tapestry of cultural endeavors. Within the halls of GreenWood University, it was common knowledge that Lana Angelica Smithson and Nicolas Kai Harper harboured a profound and unmistakable animosity towards each other. . . . mature content ⚠️ (details in the first chapter) . . . You do not need to read the first book (HIS OBSESSION) to understand this one. It's a standalone. . . .

| WATTPAD INDIA AWARDS 2021 SHORTLIST | Like a moth to the flame, Amy finds herself drowning in Jake's chaos, and it doesn't even make sense how she's ready to do anything to see that sun-kissed smile on his face. She is his peace when he is everything that sets her heart and soul in a hurricane. And just like that, all her plans to have a peaceful college life go down the drain. The moment she looks into his black orbs, she finds herself losing in the hands of a guy her mom strictly forbade her to get involved with ever. Who knew four years of college life would become everything she should have never sought for, but also, something she always wanted to, with all her heart. Jake is stubborn, arrogant, and a lot more mysterious about himself than Amy can handle. He is also passionate, an artist with a paintbrush that can create masterpieces and depressed in ways no one bothers to know, except Amy. Amy is undeniably attracted to him. But Jake harbors enough regrets from the past to never seek the light Amy has to offer. Amy slowly manages to break through the walls of redemption Jake has created around himself. But she can never change the fact that our mistakes run deep than any other feeling. When shadows of past mistakes start drowning Jake into a dark pit of chaos, Amy might be his one chance to seek light, his silver lining, and love that can heal the ugliest of scars. But is he willing to heal? Or is it simply too late for him? Cover by @krissthetic
