This is a story about a curious girl that is quite strange. Without any friends - probably because she's so strange - she finds other ways to entertain herself. You see, this girl has a peculiar interest in frightening things, and it sets her apart from others. They prefer to stay away, to be safe.
And so, this misunderstood and lonely girl tries to fill the emptiness in her life, searching for meaning. But it's her curiosity that leads her into trouble. Because, sometimes, it is best not to know.
"SI took a step, and then another, and another... I decided to go straight so I wouldn't get lost. And I did so, until I turned around and saw only forest, and then... I decided to go a little deeper.
If I had time, I would walk all over it, with the faint hope that I would find something. Something different, something worthwhile. Something out of this world. But I knew I wouldn't find anything, just like I didn't find anything when I was a little kid, all those times... But still, I kept going. It was like my soul was pushing me on, but my brain knew there was nothing to look for.
With every step, I thought, I should probably get back. But I only kept going. Now, I should turn back now. But my curiosity took the best of me. Just a little more. Just a little. Please. With all my might I wished for meaning. For something where my desire could feast upon.
And it did. Quite literally."

Broken Beginning (The Alpha's Addiction #1)
Gutsy teenager, Emma, didn't ask to be exiled. But after one rebellion too many, her father ships her off to a remote college in southern England-a last-ditch effort to straighten her out. She expects boredom, isolation. What she finds is something else entirely. The students are strange. The rules, even stranger. And when she begins to see things-things no human should-Emma realizes this place hides more than just secrets. Half the student body isn't human at all; rather creatures of myth and legend; creatures she thought only existed in fantasy novels. And neither, it turns out, is she. Buried secrets surface; Emma isn't who she thought she was. She's the prophesied reincarnation of an ancient Queen, tied by fate to a powerful Lycan King-and to a future she never asked for. But fate can be cruel. When the Lycan King rejects her under mysterious circumstances, Emma is thrust into a brutal game of power, and identity. Torn between the world she came from and the one she was born to rule, she must decide: embrace the crown and the chaos that comes with it or rewrite her own fate despite the odds stacked against her. In Book One of the Alpha Addiction series, Emma's exile becomes the beginning of everything she was never meant to discover.
The Painting
"It took me five seconds to fall. The impact on my chest jarring my body but not my mind. I suppose this is the point where your life is supposed to flash before your eyes as time itself freezes - and it did in a way. But I didn't relive my life physically like walking through an old memory, déjà vu in each step. It was a feeling, something that started in my chest and spread to my fingertips, one so unique to me that it encapsulated each significant event into one single second." For as long as May can remember one mystery has haunted her world. A dirty window before her, the grim obstructing her vision, she has lived with a loss she can't identify - that is until one rainy night. Gradually the spots of dirt May scratched at for so long wipe away with the touch of a finger. But when she looks in will she like what she sees - or will curiosity kill the cat?Complete
