Cold Devotion | ✔️ by moonlighttkisscs

Rose Waterstone, daughter of the lead commander, is sent to the facility at the ripe age of seventeen. She was sent for the same reason as everyone else - to prepare for the threat of war between sectors. She was more than willing to get away from her poor excuse of a father, ready to take on the real world - or at least she thought she was. Upon her arrival at the facility she can't help but catch the eye of the facility leader's son, Colton Grey. He was your typical broody, dark haired boy but he seemed to strike a nerve with Rose. He was intrigued by her but nothing but hatred seemed to fuel their actions towards each other. They couldn't stand each other, for what reason they did not know. Maybe it was because she was so stubborn? Or maybe it was because he thought that he had some kind of claim on her that excused the way he treated her? A new threat arises, rebels. Rebels who are hell bent on taking down the government and destroying everyone in relations to them, including Rose. They are both forced to work together, to help each other take down the rebels but how when they both despise each other with every fibre of their being? How when their resentment for each other runs so deeply? Colton hates Rose but won't let anyone lay a finger on her. Rose hates Colton but won't walk away.

Remains Brave {New War Series Book 1} by AIMorgan

Where there's a will there's a way, and then there's Rem. A girl who lost it all after writing a book. Her writing style persuaded different groups to think and believe different things about her beliefs. The odd way her words touched the nation brought unity, which in turn made her the most revered woman in the United States. So much so that people sought her out to be the leader of the rebellion. Just shy of her twenty-first birthday, the once crazy college student leads a group of rebels through dangerous territory in an effort to escape to safer ground, only to face mountains of hardship in between. As the rebellion turns to full civil war, Rem tries her best to hold onto the last possession of her past life that she has, while juggling the relationships she builds on her journey. War changes every participant, and that's no exception for the Rebel princess.

Catalyst [Unedited, rough] by xXRainbow_OreosXx

"God my emotions were on a fucking roller coaster today. If I'm not nervous, I'm scared, if I'm not scared, I'm disgusted and if I'm not disgusted, I'm in fucking love." ~~~ In a world of two different types of people: the people of the Clans and the powerless -who know nothing about the Clans- a lot can happen. A group of runaways are rebelling together. They don't want control over the Clans, just restrictions. Rules that limit what a person can do with their power. What happens when love grips onto Multi? There will be betrayal, there will be tears, but most importantly there will be drama. Maybe, a little bit of action as well. Add a dark past to the mix and you have Catalyst. *This is my first original story, I am not, in any way professional. If you don't like the way it's written give me tips on how to fix it. But please don't hate. Anyways, if you chose to read this you will make me one of the happiest people alive.* This story is NOT edited. ~xXRainbow_OreosXx~
