𝑳𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝑺𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒄𝒌| Vision of Love Book 2 by nenewritesometimes

Vision of Love Book 2 *read book 1 before this* You're special to me. You're the only one who I wouldn't mind losing sleep for, the only one who I can never get tired of talking to, and the only one who crosses my mind constantly throughout the day. You're the only one who can make me smile without trying, bring down my mood without the intention to and affect my emotions with every action of yours. I can't explain with just words how much you mean to me, but you're the only one I'm afraid of losing and the one I want to keep in my life. You could say were love struck. feb 2021-mar 2021

BETA MINE (mxm || lgbtq) by notbackingdown

"A mate will love you and only you. No other can compare to you and he or she will treasure you above all and everything in the world," mommy says to me as she kissed my forehead. I sighed dreamily. I can't wait till I find my mate. He'll be perfect and handsome and funny and smart and brave and beautiful and he'll love me... only ever me... and... and... Present This hurts so much. Seeing and hearing and knowing my mate, the one who's supposed to love me above all, me, only me is in love with somebody else. I'd hate him if I could. I'd reject him if I could... I wish I could. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Important My books are written explicitly for a MATURE AUDIENCE 18 YEARS AND OLDER.

Seeking SOMNUS by Mesmerising_Mani

"As I lost everyone, I didn't want to go through this, I've learned in this thick and thin that no matter what I go through I will have to put myself first, not because it's what I solemnly want but it is what I need in my rest of my journey." ____________________________________ This is going to be a story based on someone's dream.

Blind Instincts by _Serza

*COMPLETED* My head bowed in a heavy mannor, not in respect, but in trepidation. I discern his unwavering gaze over my ill silhouette. "Look at me." I opened my eyes, though it made no difference. Black is still black, all I am left with are my four senses. He will kill me if I don't look. He will kill me if I do. He will look into my sightless eyes and see my futile existence isn't worth living. He will kill me, and he will be doing the pack a justice by it. He growls a low, throaty snarl to warn me about disobeying an alpha. There will be consequences, we both know that. His lingering growls let me know he is not going to allow me to contravene his word. I steadily inch my head upwards, visibly shaking everywhere else. Maybe he won't notice my depthless eyes from across the gazebo. My life depends on it. "You're blind." ~ Monet was born into a particularly prestigious area of her wolf pack, to parents of extremely high standards. Her legacy is to become the packs next healer, but when she was born completely devoid of melanin, all her mated parents saw was a disappointment. Being born an albino wolf pup meant a lot for Monet, but it mostly meant her condition had taken her eyesight along with it. What happens when Monet meets the Alpha of a neighboring pack? Will he accept her for what she is? ~CONTENT WARNING~ This book contains depictions of physical abuse, foul language, and upsetting scenary.

The Forbidden Tale of Tuscanvalle by PoppyHavoc

Every action taken to gain power, no matter the form, only drags you closer to something you can't control. In a world where knowledge, blood, soul, wealth, and even rapture are cultivated to fuel one's ambition, there's always a price to pay. But those who seek power never realize they're not the ones pulling the strings-they're merely part of a larger game, dancing to a tune they don't even know is being played. ***** What to expect: ✅️ Rich lore and mythos with a fresh take on Gods and mortals ✅️ slow burn storytelling ✅️ immense world-building ✅️ multiple intricate arcs spanning multiple timelines ✅️ various perspectives, and plenty of drama. Expect a long, slow build-up that pays off in a big way. ***** DISCLAIMER: This story contains graphic violence, gore, and disturbing themes including forced cannibalism, infanticide, parental abuse, and more. Reader discretion is advised. ***** Update Schedule: Monday to Friday

In my shoes (Completed) by Karen290001

I really want to say that I cried because of how he humiliated me in front of the king. But no, I knew the truth. I liked him and somewhere deep down, I thought that there was a tiny chance he liked me too. That he was making me do all these things to keep me busy so, that he did not see me all the time because I was a distraction? I don't know really, but some part of me wanted to believe that there was a chance, even if it was small. But with what happened today, I knew that, that was a lie. He hated my guts. And that truth hurt. That was why I cried. XXXXX *started: 7th October 2020 * finished: 12th February 2021 I don't own any of these photos.

DEVIL ONCE LIVED by arikamiaririki

PROLOGUE: Our lives are so convulated that we want something adventurous in life of our's. But, actually because of these convulated problems our life is adventurous somehow. That's called a real adventure, not like in movies or dramas that we see. Those are all fictional ones and who don't like fiction everyone craves for it. The dreams we see daily in our sleep is what? it's all fiction nothing else, our desires that remain unfulfilled in our day time. Everything that we expect from our future is just useless , one should matter for present where actual adventure takes place. Now only, if not now, then never. Nevertheless, we all are interested in making future great or adventurous at every cost. Today's world is full of people like this at maximum, causing something wrong to others atleast or say atlast?
