“Life ... is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.” 
― William Shakespeare, Macbeth

This quote signifies Karleen Jacobs life, to the point of having it printed out and pasted on her wall to remind her daily of the loss she’s been through. In her eyes life has no purpose anymore, it’s an ugly time that’s been forced upon her, where existing or not doesn’t matter any longer. Life is of no significance, as she had to learn early, because it can be taken away in the blink of an eye. 

Having lost her parent’s to a car accident, Karleen is living with her uncle and is a fresh high school graduate, that’s not planning to go to college. But when she’s offered an opportunity to justify her parent’s death, and ease her troubled mind she takes it up immediately, after all it has been bothering her for years whom her parents were going out to meet, who the cause of their death was. 

Trying to find that person takes Karleen out on a scavenger hunt all over New York, forcing her to make friendships and enjoy life once again, teaching her the true worth of being alive.

They keep the secret, let the world believe the apocalypse is here, that the government didn't just kill the world, while they search for a cure. It's then that they learn of the one girl that hasn't been infected, she's immune, and they're going to do everything they can to get her.

I Fell in Love with a Bad Boy by Beautiful_Tragedy8

CRINGE WARNING! First book I ever wrote on here!! -- "Sometimes the person who you are willing to take a bullet for is the person behind the gun." I stood peering over the cold lifeless body that lay before my eyes. I had always thought of death the enemy, but right now, I blessed it upon the person who is now at peace. Sometimes you don't need to be the smartest, or the fastest, but you do need to be wisest. They say the blood runs deeper than water, and I believe it, because even though the people that we love can turn on us and begin to hate us, they are only human, meaning that soon they will begin to see how short life really is and how it is not to be wasted. People who seem perfect and they look like they have no floors'; they are the people who are suffering, like I was. But I found my savior in the most uncommon place. He was able to look through my mask, he saw the cracks, and tried to fix the broken girl that hid away deep inside the girl who only wanted to be seen as 'fine'. I slowly began to find comfort and safety in him, and I did the same to him. We were two broken people becoming whole. Someone once said when you pass, if you can count your true friends on one hand you are beyond lucky, and I even though I did not like the person that lay before me, I know that he once had true friends, including me. I'm a 17 year old girl who has suffered more than any other, beginning to believe that 'Hope' was just another word the people throw around. Until I fell in love with a badboy.

| MMRM | My Mate, Remember Me by Itwasonlyadream801

***Please read my message on November 12, 2019 (if you can) for enlightenment purposes*** "Who are you?" A certain Luna asked. "Tell me, why do I feel like this?" The Alpha in front of her just stayed frozen. "Why do you make me feel so....pained?" The Luna questioned as her hands slightly trembled. "You have suffered because of me. I deserve to be punished but please," He said as he tried to approach her. The Luna watched him in disbelief as the man embraced her tightly in his arms. "Please let me hold you in my arms, even if its just for awhile, even if its just for today. Please..." He begged as tears fell down from his face. 'If I tell her that she's my mate, then I will lose the right to remain by her side.' The Alpha firmly said inside his mind. 'Please, just let me stay while I can, because once she remembers me - I will have to leave.' ※◎※◎※◎※◎※◎-※◎※◎※◎※◎※◎ This book is a work of fiction. The cliche: "Alpha rejects his mate and regrets it once he sees her." WARNING: Over-used plot and plot holes. I just had to write it. *laughs* #MMRM ©Itwasonlyadream801 [Aleana Dela Cruz]

Don't Leave by ohsnapitskimchi

(Unedited) Rejection hurts. It can break many people apart. Slowly crushing their souls and silencing their wolfs forever. Unfortunately, that happened to Christina Prior. Ever since she was little, she always dreamed about getting a mate. Growing up, she soon faced the reality that her own soul mate didn't want her, but her gorgeous best friend. The one thing that would help her wolf and herself heal from the damage was to leave the pack and disappear. She did just that. Now three years later, she returns back to her pack not as a badass she-wolf, but a dying wolf. She has terminal cancer with only three months left. Let's just say that it would be nice to hear someone say "Don't Leave."
