When obsession is mistakenly confused for love, lies become truth and every single word or thought, each and every move you make, becomes wrong. Legs become leaden, lips tight, mouth dry, you live in the shadows, your entire existence depends on avoidance.
It's getting darker now, a matte black canvas above me, a foreboding depth of nothingness, beckoning me forward, as if all this time I had been digging downward instead of up, tunneling deeper into my own grave. God please, there has to be away out, this cannot be the fate that I'm intended.

The Last Whisper by Zora-Thorne

I wear a mask so well that even I almost believe it. Almost. Then I met him. His eyes were hollow, his smile a lie-just like mine. In him, I saw my own reflection, the same quiet suffering hidden beneath perfect façades. For the first time, I wasn't alone. But happiness is always fleeting. One moment, he was there. The next, he was gone. A fall from a rooftop. A life stolen too soon. Now, the world feels unreal. Shadows shift. Whispers grow louder. And in the corner of my vision, I still see him. If he's gone... why does it feel like he never left?

╰┈➤ ❝ [I stood there in unequivocal revelation, the lagging pain slowly catching up with me, but before I could release a fraction of the pain into my screaming, a bell rang, and suddenly, pilfered from my body was the ability to move. My face neutral and my muscles disabled as I fell face-first into the hard, scathing rock that lay unmoved before me.] 》* 。 • ˚ ˚ ˛ * 。° 。 • ˚《 Imagine awakening in an environment you deemed unfamiliar, your back thrumming in pain, with your mind staying clear of how you ended up there or simply the moments that lead to your position. You try to find a way out and later realize that you can't even remember who you are; your memories purged, your identity unknown. It takes you a good amount of time, pain, and effort, and eventually you manage to gather tiny fragments of who you were along with the trauma of how you retrieved it, but it's okay, maybe it's all worth it as you finally make contact with another person. Turns out she was your best friend. Finally, it looks like all is turning up until you learn of all the inhumane things you've done in your past, things that evade your newfound morals, things that were so detrimental to society that when you hear the reason as to why you've been enduring such agony, you understand why. How many people did you even end up hurting? What did you do that was so bad, that it made millions wish the absolute worst of you? What will you do now?

GUILTY (Mxm) by lee5sa

I sit amidst the dingy shadows, enveloped by the stench of neglect. A week - or is it an eternity? - has passed since Declan's departure, leaving me shackled to this wretched existence. The darkness seems to suffocate me, an unrelenting shroud that wraps around my soul. My mind reels with the weight of my conscience, the crushing burden of what-ifs. If only I had listened, if only I had been wiser, if only... The torment of my thoughts rivals the agony etched on my body. Each bruise tells a story of regret, every wound a testament to my folly. Time lost all meaning in this bleak confinement. Days blend into nights, hours dissolve into an endless expanse of nothingness. I've lost count of the moments I've spent wallowing in self-loathing, my heart heavy with the weight of sorrow. My eyes, once bright and full of life, now hang limp, swollen from the deluge of tears. The Sahara desert would envy the ocean I've cried, yet the ache within me remains unquenched. The radiance that once defined me has faded, extinguished by the crushing blow of my own mistakes. In this desolate room, I'm forced to confront the shadows of my past. The silence is deafening, punctuated only by the haunting whispers of my conscience. Madness creeps in, its icy tendrils snaking through my mind, threatening to consume me whole. My reflection would be unrecognizable to those who once knew me. Sunken cheeks, hollow eyes, and skin stretched taut over brittle bones. My body, once strong and resilient, now trembles with each faint heartbeat. The frailty of my form mirrors the fragility of my spirit.

A Love That Shouldn't Exist by TheyCraveeLyric

Hematite has always loved Gynger in a way she shouldn't. In a way that burned too deep, too dangerously-something fragile and consuming all at once. But instead of confessing, she settled for friendship, convincing herself that having a piece of Gynger was better than losing her entirely. For years, Gynger danced on the blurred lines between them, touching, teasing, and holding Hematite close but never quite enough. She moved in and out of relationships, never looking at Hematite the way she craved to be seen. Until one drunken night, when Gynger kissed her-and then pretended like it never happened. Everything shattered when a toxic friend exposed Hematite's long-buried feelings, unraveling the delicate balance they had maintained. Gynger pulled away, distancing herself and finding solace in a new relationship-with a man. Hematite was left behind, forced to watch as Gynger found stability in someone else, while she drowned in her own emotions. Caught between her obsession with Gynger and the lingering toxicity of her ex, Sevyn -a street-affiliated man who left her broken more times than she could count-Hematite spirals. Her battle with BPD only makes things more volatile. Love turns into obsession, desire twists into destruction, and the lines between passion and pain blur beyond recognition. As fights to untangle herself from the past, she's forced to face the truth: Some love stories aren't meant to have a happy ending. Some love stories are only meant to ruin you. Themes: • Unrequited love and emotional dependence • Psychological turmoil and obsession • Betrayal, self-destruction, and toxic relationships • Dark, slow-burn romance with high emotional stakes • The pain of watching someone you love move on A deeply emotional and darkly intense story filled with longing, regret, and raw passion. A Love That Shouldn't Exist is an aching, slow-burn tragedy about love that was never meant to be-but that refuses to let go.

Alpha Valdus by friesbeforeguys101

"You may think you're the strongest and the most feared, but I would never be scared of you." I growled while my back hit the wall. He continues to have a blank face when walking towards me. His hand goes next to my head and he leans down. I'm still glaring at him but my heart picks up just by the scent of him. "Oh, trust me. I'll make you regret those words. And I can make you scream in both ways." He growled while his hazel eyes bore into my grey ones. "And what's that. Huh?" I said while my hands went to his chest to push him away but his clamped around my wrist and pushed them to the wall. I tried to get them out of his grip but he leaned in making me growl at him. "I can either make you scream in agony or either pleasure. So don't test me." He growled. "You are mine and you would always be below of me. Don't test your Alpha." ***** Aphrodite Dike. Alpha of her own pack. Grew up as a rogue and took control of a weak pack and trained them to become the second strongest, competing to become the number one strongest pack out there. Alpha Valdus.

So, what would Aphrodite do? *COMPLETE* *BOOK TWO* *FIRST BOOK- ALPHA ALCANDER* *NOT EDITED* *READ AT YOUR OWN RISK* *MATURE CONTENT*

Rejected At First Sight (Spinoff Series) by cloverfelds

*Rejected at First Sight* Spin-off series (By GirlWhoChasesRainbow) 🌶 "Oomph!" The sound rushed out of my mouth as the door opened before I could reach the handle and my body hits a wall. I stumble backwards slightly before a hand wraps around my waist, keeping me from falling. Looking up, I realize this wasn't a wall, but instead a very attractive male. A very messy, but definitely sexy, mop of black hair sat on top of his head. When I looked closer, I realized that it was a deep shade of brown that was probably often mistaken for black. My gaze traveled to his eyes, where I found two deep ocean blue eyes looking at me. I kept going further down to his too crooked nose to be called straight, which I assumed came from too many fights. His skin was tanned, but an olive tone suggested he had a natural darker complexion to begin with. My eyes finally found his pink, very plump lips which were resting slightly open. His lips jerked up into a lopsided sneer as his hand snapped back to his side. The sudden movement left my back cold, as if his palm had been a source of warmth. "You've got to be kidding me!" His tone dripped with disgust. My eyes turned to questioning as I looked back up into his eyes. I brought my hand up to rub my nose, squinting at the slight pain. "What the hell." He grumbled. "I, Jay Julian, reject you as my mate." He, or Jay, said with venom lacing his voice. He quickly turned and walked down the now vacant hallway with no glance back. Rejection? What the hell was that? Was it some sort of local lingo? How did I get rejected on my first day? The first person I make eye contact with at this school rejects me. I guess that's how this school works, if the hottest boy in school rejects you, you're a nobody. If that's how this small town school worked, then I was screwed. So much for making friends, or mates, or whatever they call people in this place. I shake those ocean blue eyes out of my head and continue into the office to start my new life.
