Mature

My mother always wanted a daughter. Larissa was a foster girl with timeless beauty and a fractured soul who had been sex trafficked in middle school. My parents adopted Larissa and overnight we became her forever family. 

This is the story of how I fell madly in love with my adopted sister in high school. We spent many magical summer days at the beach as I helped her discover the healing power of the ocean through surfing.

In high school, the pressure of varsity lacrosse, living in my older brother's shadow and my uber popular girlfriend all consumed my life. Larissa was a breath of fresh air who helped me find myself, and after a chance meeting, helped me save the life of another human trafficked motel kid named Dove.

My name is Joe Stone. This is a provocative coming of age story about love, loss, sex, family, friendships, trauma, obsession, betrayal, tragedy and rebirth.

"Get in" comes out his voice, and I must've stood there agape for a few moments because next comes his rhetorical question. "Are you getting in or continuing walking in the rain?" Eyebrows raised expectantly. He sounds annoyed, like he regrets his decision to ever stop and help me. ❣️•••❣️ #5 in cynical #2 in loveandfriendship #1 in opinionated #4 in ihatelife #10 in nerdgirl #10 in HighschoolRomance #26 in GoodGirlBadBoy *contains mature themes. *contains cursing.

My Genius Mate by FantasyComeToLife

Ali Baker did everything in her power to return to her pack, to her friends, and to her favorite place on earth. She enrolled in the town's college as an excuse to come back and be reunited her childhood best friend, only to find he was her mate, just as she had hoped for. There was very little time to celebrate however as she learned he had a girlfriend. It broke her and hurt but soon their mate bond would pull them together at last. It was them against the world, and a vengeful ex-girlfriend. **** 'No! No! No! This is not happening!' Ronan panicked as he spoke to me through our mate bond. I could hear the defeat in his voice as I was taken further and further away from him. 'I want you to know that I love you, Ronan. These past few months have been the happiest of my life. I only wished I could have returned the favor to you.' 'Don't say it like you're saying goodbye.' He was in full distraught now. Ronan's voice was breathy and cracked as he spoke to me. 'I'm not. I know you'll find me again.' 'Yeah, I promise. I'll find you, baby. Hold on, ok?' 'I will. I will wait for you. I love you.' 'I love you too, Ali, more than anything. Please just keep -' Suddenly, I was alone. The mate bond was a funny thing. It had its limits. The bond worked like a rubber band. When we were close to each other, it pulled and strained against us, pulling our souls together and allowed us to hear the other's thoughts. That bond allowed us to feel the other's emotions and pain. It was a fantastic thing to be a part of. However, just like taking a rubber band and pulling it as far as possible, it loses strength before breaking entirely. Warning: Story contain graphic details of violence, torture, sexual activity, and curse words.

I pause "I made a promise and I am not going to break it... there is no way I am going to let him lay a figure Alexey or Alec" tears formed in my eyes "I always did what's best for my family... I always will" I fought back the tears not looking them in the eye "he already took my mother, he is not going to take away them" I raised my voice "I am going to do whatever it take to stop him from lay a hand on anyone I love!" I started yelling, "even if I die in process" I was quieter again, I couldn't look them in the eye "Nicole you can't--" "nothing you say! Nothing you do! is going to stop me from doing what best for my family, for the ones I love... you can't stop me... no one can" I cut of Jay and looked him in the eye, a tear rolling down my face "I thank you father for adopting us... I thank you three for excepting us, I truly do... no matter how much I have grown to love you guys, you can't stop me" another tear rolled down my cheek "I am not just protecting Alexey and Alec anymore... he knows I love you, he will hurt anyone I love" I zipped my jacket up "please let me protect the ones I love... look after Alexey and Alec for me... please..." the three hugged me, Jay was in front of me, I silently cried into his chest "Stay safe Nicole" Jay whispered "We will take care of Alexia and Alec, but we can't replace you," Kaleb whispered from my right "Promise us you will come back" Ryan looked me in the eye causing more tears to come down "I will try my best, thank you" I walked out leaving my family behind, tear streaming down my face. I am doing the right thing, I am doing what is best for them. **trust me this books gets better the more you go, more of an intro inside**
