Wolf Bitten (Origin, #1) by Faux2020

The idea of lycanthropes is impossible. Can the lore actually be true? College student Joey Sumner never could have imagined she would find the answer in a simple hike through the forest. But as she soon discovers, the world is not always what it seems. When she comes face to face with a rogue werewolf and survives its brutal bite, Joey is thrown into a savage existence where power struggles are fought to the death and males reign supreme. As she struggles to come to terms with her new reality, she becomes a pawn in a conflict between the rogue who bit her and the alpha of the local pack, who wants to execute him for a murder he may or may not have committed. Newly shifted and one of the few females around, it's a hard battle for everything, especially when it's against yourself. Strong physical violence and gore, Themes of body horror and loss of autonomy, Depictions of a misogynistic culture, Dubious Consent, Non-con, Themes of Sexual Violence and No HEA (happily ever after).

You Are the Shell to My Tortoise | ✓ by LotteStarburst

Nolan, an unapproachable guy who ignores the existence of all his schoolmates, sleeps in all of his classes. Normally, this wouldn't be Chelsea Arnold's problem-she does her best to pay attention in class and attends gym like a good, normal student. Unfortunately, she just so happens to be his assigned desk partner in many classes. She's frequently forced to wake him in English class and ends up earning the unofficial title of Nolan's Wake-up Alarm-a title that nobody in the entire school covets. The last thing she wants is to interact with him more than she absolutely has to. One day, their gym teacher sends her to bring him back to class, which he always skips for some reason. When she accidentally shines her flashlight in his sleeping face, it triggers a chain of events that gradually intertwines their lives together. It's hard to be a normal student when you start befriending the school oddball. It doesn't help that he has more secrets than the Big Ben has stairs. ----- Complete.

Be Your Everything by wallxflowxer

He tangled his hand in the tips of my hair and rested his chin on the top of my head, "You don't always have to be so strong, you know." I pulled my head back to look up at him.

Once she is asked to tutor a boy she's went to school with her life yet never even spoke to, she has to learn to be a little pushy. Cameron thinks he can hide his one little secret, but Sophia is a smart girl. She has the glasses and the straight A's to prove it. Once Sophia and Cameron have their differences settled, new problems rise. Will they both be able to live up to the problems they have innocently come across? From basketball games, library games, and siblings hugs, these two try so hard to stay together until the end. But will they make it? Or will distance tear them apart?

But when everything goes awry and she is taken as a servant to her worst tormentors, she longs for an end to the depravity by any means... An ebony wolf, wily Ailurans, vicious Ursars, and a predatory man keen on taking her as his own convolute matters, further complicating Elise's tumultuous life and throwing her into situations she never imagined possible. The secluded existence she endured in her home pack left her completely unprepared for the rest of the world, but she didn't realize just how little she knew until she was thrust into its underbelly. * * * * She didn't finish her sentence, but she didn't need to.

My Broken YOU by brandon61386

****Updated and re-edited*****Dec of 2024 In her last year of college, Madison Harlow breaks up with her childhood boyfriend. They've never been anything but close friends and a kiss. No one knew he was unstable and would take his life, which in turn forced Madison to want to live more of a life. Madison has always been a good girl; not even sure she knows what a true kiss feels like. She thinks she's going to spend her last year in college partying with her best friend. Until her polar opposite shows up. Mason Pembrook, a guy that has a new girl every night. He's never dated a girl and he's never used the word 'love' ever in his life. Mason and Madison find an immediate attraction to each other even though they are far from being alike. Mason forces Madison to dislike him because romance scares him. Madison hides her true feelings deep down inside of her. One night is all it takes for Mason to take Madison's virginity and create a wild, toxic, and addicting romance between the two of them. What brought her to him? Is it because Mason is broken, and Madison believes she has to fix everyone? Is it because not only did he take her virginity, but he made her feel what a true kiss feels like? Or is it because she's become addicted to the arousing feelings and pleasure he can give her? These two are no good for each other but can't stay away. They are magnets in this universe, attracted from thousands of miles away no matter what happens. The fights they have would end any relationship, yet they keep going back to each other. The more they are together the more they fall in love with each other. The more they make love with each other the more they realize what true love feels like. The more they fight the further they end up away from each other. Can true love and arousing romance be more powerful than the arguments and disapproval they can have for each other? To Madison, Mason is 'My broken YOU'

HOTHEAD by YA_fanatic24

Growing up in a toxic environment, sixteen-year-old Jay Foster has always had psychological problems, coupled with a quick temper. But one night something happens which finally pushes him over the edge, and as a result, he leaves his house the next morning with two things: his mother's gun and a plan. Living with a neglectful and drug addicted mother wasn't easy for Jay, and it definitely didn't help that his father abandoned the family while he was still a child. He harbored a hatred toward his parents, and that hatred extended to almost everyone and everything around him, producing a very troubled and damaged young kid. As Jay enters high school, he becomes very intrigued with one of his classmates. Kind of obsessed, actually. Her name: Mikayla Keeler. Mikayla is very unique, and like Jay, she doesn't seem to fit in with her contemporaries. Instead, the two of them keep each other company, and their friendship very quickly escalates into a romantic and intimate relationship. Despite having Mikayla, Jay's troubles continue to burden him. He and Mikayla are fighting habitually, his home life is still unbearable, and his time at school is hardly any better, made worse by a bully named Calvin. Their mutual dislike of one another leads to a lot of hostility, routinely leading to Jay being sent to his school's principal. One confrontation in particular goes much too far, resulting in Jay's expulsion from school. With everything seemingly piling up, Jay is very close to his breaking point, and late one night he is blindsided by the unthinkable, pushing him much too far and effectively planting in his mind a cruel and horrific plan for revenge.
