'I don't trust it, Luna. There's something going on that you're not telling me.'
'Maybe...'
'Don't 'maybe' me! What is it?'
'Oh well, there's school. Gotta go!'
Luna Oakley's whole life is quite abnormal. She's just a normal teenager with constant mood swings, oversleeping tendencies, a sister obsessed with celebrities, insecurities about herself, and a weird longing (not a crush!) for this guy at school. Her foster family seems to be fine with her and she has a great best friend.
Yet... She just feels distant from everything. She should feel happy and adapt to this lifestyle, but there has always been a void of darkness lingering within her mind. Hair and eyes lacking pigment and a horrifying nightmare repeating itself over and over, Luna realises one thing: She doesn't remember anything before her supposed parents were murdered four years ago. Her whole existence at that time just seems... Unreal.
However, the truth starts to unfold ever so slightly when she develops dangerous, unknown powers and a serial killer known as 'Death's Scythe' comes into the picture. Risking her life, facing Karens head-on and sacrificing friendships, everything Luna regarded as 'normal' is thrown into the trash as she searches for who she really is.

But in a city run by ruthless corporations and haunted by things best left unseen, survival won't be easy. How long can Nikki keep her secret before the hunters find her? A Werewolf Cheerleader spin-off series. There might be some grammar errors because the chapters are first drafts. But I did edited them the best I can. Please notify me if you find any errors that I missed. Each chapter will be posted each except on the weekends. If I miss a day, I will post it the next day. There are violence, profanity, and some senstive content, but none of them are high. If I add some romance, they will be mild.

Haunted Eyes
#6 in suicide silence 10/05/25 "Jasper didn't look up. His entire frame was curled around her, shielding her body like he thought he could keep death out if he just held her tight enough." ~~ Evangeline never asked to inherit her mother's bloodline - a legacy steeped in prophecy, betrayal, and powers too dangerous to name. All she wants is to survive. But when she's torn from the life she knew and thrust into a hidden world of wolves, witches, and war, survival means facing the truth she's been running from. Haunted by trauma and hunted by those who claim to love her, Evangeline struggles to control gifts that feel more like a curse. Trust is a luxury she can't afford-until Jasper, the fierce Alpha bound by duty and desire, vows to protect her even from herself. But every step toward him brings her closer to the shadows of her past...and the father who will stop at nothing to destroy her. In a world where the line between life and death blurs, can her haunted eyes still see the light? Keep in mind that you may not always like what the characters do, or feel, but this story is about understanding their humanity and the choices they make in extraordinary circumstances.

DISCONTINUED
Certainly they could trust that those in power ultimately had the best interests of the people in mind, right? ~~~ Luna slouched low in her seat, staring at droplets of water that ran diagonally down the window of the bus. The sky was a flat, depressing grey and the incessant, soaking rain left her constantly chilled. It was a typical "liquid sunshine" day in the Pacific Northwest. They drove past a single tall scraggly tree on top of a hill shrouded in mist. The creepy tree was full of screaming crows. How could she hear them from inside the bus when she couldn't even seem to hear the voices of the kids around her? Geez, that was an awfully freaking dark image. She shivered and looked away. What did they call a group of crows again? Right, a murder of crows. Perfect. The weather was certainly the only thing that was typical these days, although you'd never know it by looking around the bus at most of the kids as they sat joking and gossiping with each other just like they had before... before that day everything had changed. Idiots.Complete
The Miserably Macabre Tales of Luna Samuels
A -sometimes- uplifting story about growing up and overcoming life's challenges. Laugh, cry and smile with our cynical author as she tries to traverse what comes after high school while battling her inner demons, her sexuality and conquering the ever-terrifying world of adulting. "My name is Faith Elizabeth Samuels. Well, it used to be, before I left my fundamentalist helicopter parents and started going by Luna... My counselor tells me writing will help me to 'heal'. Somehow, writing my feelings of depression, anxiety, self harm and suicidal thoughts will negate a lifetime of 'bad feelings' about my self image, mental health and general well-being. Sounds legit. So, fair reader, does my little tale of woe intrigue you? If so, come join my merry band of misfits on this roller coaster of life." *There are no perfect people in this story; no villains, no perfect protagonists and no fairytale romance. There is, however, realistic examples of neurodivergence, discovering yourself, LGBTQIA characters and nuanced depictions of mental health problems, self harm, religious and generational trauma.* Rated Mature (17+) For themes of self-harm, depression, anxiety and some sexuality.Complete

But right now your thinking I'm just some whore that doesn't know how to properly love your son the way you love him." "Mother, what does she mean by your still thinking?" All I saw on Andre's face at that moment was the worry he felt for his mother. I knew his mother wasn't like this. I didn't know her personally since I haven't been around for a long time but something was definitely wrong with the current Luna. "I'm sorry son but I just can't come to terms with what has happened. I need a bit of time to process." "Does 90 minutes cover the time you need dear?" the alpha said. He had a worried expression on his face too. What did he mean by 90 minutes? Did something happen when I was in that dream? Follow the life of Katalina Regina as she starts her journey on finding out her true power, her true potential and maybe even her king. Will she find a way to surpass all the trials and errors in her way? Or will she fail miserably and die trying? Keep reading to find out!
