Imagine the possibility of everyday being your last. People able to murder one another, no government or law to stop them. A city torn down from natural disaster and raids, then only place still modern and clean is in the centre. A building where the only 'officials' are.
This is how Gemma lives. The constant thought of having a bullet sent through her skull looming in her mind. But one night every month is when things are truly a-wire. At 6pm, it comes out of it's home and fills it's stomach. People have the option of going into the very, very secure and impossible-to-break-into building. But that also means that everyone else in the building has the option to kill you. A risk either way, but always no way to escape.
This all started when Gemma was a young, thoughtless girl, and all of this slipped right past her. That is, until she had a confrontation with it. She witnessed it's special feeding ceremony on her mother, father, and older sister. It came up and faced her, but instead of seeing hunger in it's eyes, Gemma saw hopelessness and sorrow.
Gemma didn't think it had feelings, or that it was barely even a living creature, but the painful truth behind it comes out during one of the not-so-average monthly cycles. Will Gemma get the last shot, or will someone else shoot her before she has the chance to uncover the truth of the helpless 'it'?

Embrace My Heart (completed)
*Short Story* It is difficult to stay with the people who look down at you like you are some kind of disease. It hurts when they don't want to acknowledge you for the good things you have done. It hurts when your family rejects you only because you are quiet and weak saying you are good for nothing. Annie Ryan was nothing but a quiet, innocent teenager waiting for her mate to save her from the dark hell she was living in. She had only one dream, she wanted to feel loved, she wanted someone to tell her that they care and would love her no matter what happens. But little did she know that she was just another unfortunate soul whose mate had different plans. Caden was an young alpha. He had everything but where everyone was eager to meet their mate, he wasn't. He had already given his position of alpha female to his girlfriend. But after she left him, he turned cold and ruthless. But when he met Annie, his mate, one thing was clear. He wanted nothing to do with her. He asked her to leave but when she declined, he paid her no attention like she never existed. Annie was broken. Her dream was just a dream. Every night she closed her eyes, she realized she was going to die alone with no one to care. She wanted to end her life but not before setting everything right, not before her destined alpha mate finds his happiness. Caden didn't know what he was missing until he lost it. Maybe that's how life works. Maybe that's why it is called cruel.Concluida

The second one, is that is you love someone you don't give up, till death due us part, bullshit right," I never believed either of those things until I met him, he made me want to give up and keep fighting at the same time. ** This enemies to allies to lovers story follows the head of the Italian mafia, a woman, Ravenna Daniela Moretti, but nobody knows that, they all know her as Sovrana della morte, meaning ruler of death, she has made it a crucial point to hide her identity, not even the close circle of mafia know her, until her identity as well as very important information is at risk when the 4 inner mafia circle are hacked by a group of Russian hackers, she is forced to team up with the 3 other dons of mafia, America, France and Spain she reveals her identity to them.
