Every lost lamb needs a Shepherd. Every broken soul needs a bandage. Every hurting heart deserves to love again. Agnes is broken. She has taken every hit she can and still keep going. As she reaches the end of her rope (or her knife), she meets an extraordinary man. 

He will teach her to let the world in a little at a time. He will guide her on a new path away from the hate, self-destruction, and pain that she has lived with up to now. He will protect her from the wolves that seek to destroy her, be they in her mind or at her back. He will be her guardian. After all, isn't that what a good Shepherd does?

WARNING: This story will contain elements that may be triggering. These include: Self-harm, depression, self-hate, and pain. Please, my friends, if reading this hurts you, do not read it. I wanted to share this with the world, but not at the cost of the peace and happiness of others.

*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.

The Reaver Chronicles: Raphael (Book 2) by XxGiftxX37
5 parts Complete Mature
Vampires, I had always regarded them as the purveyors of darkness and fear, their existence frightful legends. That is until I almost lost my life to one, but he saved me... the Reaver Raphael. He's Supernatural and I'm Human, but the more I learn, the more I am inexorably pulled towards him. He inspires dread, a feeling that threatens to overwhelm my very being. And yet, I find myself drawn to him, like a moth to the flame. I know that he is capable of taking life without provocation or remorse. I am also cognizant of the fact that his fellow creatures of the night regard him with a certain... trepidation, and when he chooses to speak, everyone listens. He causes intense palpitations in my chest when he's near, and yet, I am aware that I must exercise caution, for I have learned that a Reavers charm is designed entice. He exerts a pull on me... a subtle yet irresistible force that draws me in, despite my better judgment. I know I should flee. I want to flee, but I can never bring myself to follow through. It would seem that I am drawn to the thrill of the unknown, and the mystery that surrounds him only heightens my fascination. The thrill of courting danger has never been more exhilarating. But it was not until I awoke in a foreboding place, surrounded by creatures that defy the natural order, that the gravity of my situation truly struck me. I had become the helpless maiden used as leverage to manipulate the hero. And in that moment, I regretted ever pursuing the man in the silver suit who courts me in the diner. I've devoured enough tales of love and loss to know that love is often a man's greatest weakness. Could I be Raphael's Achilles' heel, the weakness that ultimately proves his undoing? Or will our love become the catalyst that destroys us both? Rating 18+ for graphic sexual content, language, murder, light torture, graphic suicide, physical abuse, drug use, illness, and sexual dominance. (This is book 2 in The Reaver Chronicles Series)
