Words from my heart by brokenbeyondrepair14

Here lie my thoughts in this book, why don't you stop and take a look. While you read the secrets written there, try to ignore the silent screams no one ever seems to hear. Reading this will take some time, but you might recover my heart, lost long ago, that was once mine.

Little did I know that a knock on my front door on a Wednesday afternoon would turn my life upside down. It would change everything. Had I have known this ever-so-useful piece of information beforehand, I would never have opened the door. In actual fact, I would have made sure I was as far away from it as possible. Unfortunately I don't happen to possess mind-reading powers, so therefore, the knock on the door came. And the one person who would singlehandedly destroy my life and make me question everything I've ever known, appeared. Right in front of me. He was RIGHT there. And there was nothing I could do. _______ Mature themes & some coarse language.

Gang War (Fanfiction) (#WATTYS2017) by RickyDinxie

BIG CHANGES AND EDITING TAKING PLACE - BEAR WITH ME SOME THINGS MIGHT CHANGE This is a FAN FICTION if you do not want to read the fiction version is on my profile The greater the power, the more dangerous the abuse. They say that when you fall ill, you can't imagine how it had felt to be fit and healthy again. The memories disappear and all that you are left with is the pain and the feelings of being helpless, like your life is merely just hanging on the edge of a thread. If you compare it, I felt like that after the year of abuse I had endured, I couldn't remember how it felt not to be hit and shoved around. I couldn't remember how if had felt to not be covered in bruises or to have scrapes and cuts that sting. I was frightened every second of every single day. I feared what I would have to say, each word would be like gasoline to the fire that would inevitably explode sooner rather than later. At first, I loved him, I would gladly jump in front of a bus for him, but when the love-struck puppy disappeared and my vision was no longer clouded by sweet gestures and expensive gifts, I saw him for who he truly was. A cold, heartless man that thrived off the hurt and anguish of others, and when I finally discovered who the person I fell in love was, it was too late to leave. Skye Talbot was nothing near a normal girl. Her 'boyfriend' was part of the town's most dangerous and feared gangs. She didn't know how she got dragged into the lifestyle of drugs, sex and crazy fights, but she was starting to get used to it. Little did she know it was soon to all change. A mysterious group of five boys come to the school and turn it upside down. Turning them into the ones others should fear. When one of them takes an interest in her, all hell breaks loose between the two gangs. Who will she choose? Whose lives would be risked in the process?

What happens when you're in love with two guys at the same time. You love them both but you can't be with both because thats not right. Relations becomes complicated. If you choose you lose one and you hurt him. If you don't you hurt them both and life sucks. _____________________________________ My stupid brain when i'm around him. And my heart beats faster when i'm with other. This is a story of three people...Me (Love), Nick and Jason... Grammar police shushhhh don't come here. #FirstStory Hope you like it!

The Tale Of The Sunless Moon DEMO by theonlyBeress

To live , to love and to die for the w.o.m.b, the tragic tale of all that led to that fateful day, where everything ended.

A person's life is shaped and moulded around their history and their future. Their memories and secrets create the person that they are, and their hopes and dreams create the person that they are destined to be. But what if you had no memories or secrets, no hopes or dreams. What if you lived namelessly, forgetting everything you knew every few days. Imagine if you had to find out who you were, where you were, and what your purpose was, and then try to live a normal life, despite not even knowing your own name. You're about to read the story of a girl who plans to do exactly that, before she has another blackout.

Red isn't always romance, sometimes it's blood, Moon isn't always for lovers, but sometimes for secret cries, Flowers aren't always for marriage, but sometimes for grave, Petals aren't always soft, sometimes they prick the soul. No plagiarism/No hatred plz. Also some things might contain mature contents like self harm. I want to say those kinds of suicidal poems are not to inspire anyone to self harm. I'm strictly against self harm myself. Those thoughts are just a means to release myself. Started writing this book around 25th June, 2021

NOTE: This is completed but unedited. It will be going through major changes soon including with plot and character changes. Once it is all changed, a notice of Completion will be added! Thanks! Sins and Secrets Book 1: "How do you think all your little Alpha buddies will feel," he hissed, his hot, rancid breath whispering across the back of my neck causing my stomach to sink, "When they discover the dark secret you've been hiding? Do you think they'll respect you still? Do you think that little mate of yours will still want you?" At the thought of Tiberius, my wolf went crazy. My body jerked at the restrained that held me down, the smell of burning flesh filling the room as the silver began to cut into my wrists. "Go to hell." We snapped as my whole body began to go numb. "Oh can't you see, my sweet little bird," he came closer, his lips practically pressed against the skin on my cheek, "You're already there." --------------------------------------------------------------------- My name is Cara Eldoran. I am one of two Alpha's within my pack. Two years ago, I stood frozen to the ground and watched as someone I loved killed my older brother in front of me. There were no screams or tears. My whole body had gone into shock, and I was left to watch the horrors unfold in front of me. But I will lose no one else. Alpha's are going missing. They are being taken from their homes in the middle of the night and are never seen again. Sometimes I wish that being taken was my biggest problem. That all I had to worry about was making sure my windows were locked at night and that I was safe in the arms of my mate, but there is much more at stake then most realize. I vowed revenge for my brother the day he died, and I will stop at nothing to get it. Not even the dark secrets that could destroy me will stop my lust for vengeance. ---------------------------------------------------------------------
