Agoraphobia is a fear of being in situations where escape might be difficult or that help wouldn't be available if things go wrong.  It may include the fear of traveling in public, being in public venues, shopping, and restaurants. Symptoms mimic panic attacks.All Rights Reserved

The Man Named Death ✔ by STESLARA

"I don't know what I did to make you hate me, I haven't done anything to warrant how you ignore me! Please, just tell me!" "I'm in love with you, damn it!" He roars. "I love you so much Aphrodite, and you scare me because you are so strong and I don't want to be the one to break you!" * Aphrodite Muerte is hiding something and so is her long term crush Thanatos Amaro. Both are helplessly in love with one another and both have very different approaches on how to hide it. Love makes you do crazy things and with Aphrodite and Thanatos, it's no different. Pretending to hate Aphrodite, Thanatos manages to hide his true feelings which takes a toll on both of them. Thanatos has no idea what he's doing. Past trauma rules over Aphrodite at night causing nightmares and panic during the day. Aphrodite has no idea how to live life outside of pain. Abuse has a way of shaping people, and she's barely mended from being so broken. Both have friends that force them closer but their love might just be the reason why they end up staying together. Afterall, someone can only stay away from the person they're in love with for so long. One argument and a couple of confessions later leaves them on a confusing path that has the opportunity to be beautiful or disastrous. Love is magical but it is also savage. For Aphrodite and Thanatos, they are each other's downfalls and each others saviors. How long they last is up to them. How much they go through to get together is up to fate. In the end, will they make it or will their love end in splinters and heartache? * WARNING: Mature Content (of all sorts).

My Shy Alpha: Book 1 (EXCERPT) by RiverKaiAuthor

Aliya Matsuoka meets "him" in her dreams - a regal yet unexpectedly shy man. But strangest of all, he always meets her in the forest, where their instant bond escalates into a sensual night beneath the stars. In waking reality, a monstrous ex blurred Aliya's judgment on whom to trust. She won't even kiss most dates, let alone "get down and dirty in the leaves" with a gorgeous stranger. When Aliya follows an uncontrollable urge to retrace her dream's steps, reality surpasses her wildest imagination; she's living amongst Lycans, shapeshifters who can morph into wolves at will. Outspoken for his "untraditional values" that Lycan sexes should have equal rights, shy Alpha Noah Greenfield faces constant pushback from other Alphas who thrive on dominance. As Aliya and Noah's fated love transcends all bonds, Aliya unleashes her desires. But diving into this paranormal fairytale isn't enough to erase Aliya's trauma; there's always a chance another monster could follow her home. **This is an EXCERPT from the rough draft of My Shy Alpha: Book 1 of the Steamy Shifter Romance Series, now available on KU and as a paperback and hardcover in global bookstores!

thanatophobia - the intense fear of death or the dying process. >< History is always repeating itself. One thing that will always be correct is that history will always repeat, like a loop, a vicious circle that never, ever ends. Unfortunate for the souls caught up in history's tangling branches, even more unfortunate for the ones that are yet to be roped in. Many people say to leave the past in the past, it is what it is, right? Not for Nova Black, not for her parents. The past is very much the present and the future. The past will continuously come back to remind them of what them and so many others have endured over the years. With dark wizards are large again and her cousin being the most hated boy in the wizarding world, Nova Black is on for a long fourth year at Hogwarts. Meeting Theodore Nott on the Hogwarts Express probably won't make it much easier. >< In which history, yet again, repeats itself and sweet Nova Black finds herself oddly infatuated with a Slytherin boy. >< ⚠️contains violence, death, strong language, sex, drug/alcohol misuse and other mature themes. >< harry potter series 4-7, 1994-1998 theodore nott x fem!oc BOOK 1 - PHILOPHOBIA BOOK 2 - ATYCHIPHOBIA BOOK 3 - THANATOPHOBIA ><

CONTENT CONTAINS : SEXUAL CONTENT DRUG USE VIOLENCE & STRONG LANGUAGE IF YOUR EASILY TRIGGERED OR UNCOMFORTABLE, DO NOT READ!! • " The nerve! " " What the hell did I just got myself into? " " How's my phone? " " 14 missed calls " " More pop tarts? " " Do you think it was a mistake? " " What is? " " The fact that I slept with him " " Well. . . .wait what?! " " I know! " " What?!, When?!, Where?!, Why?!, And how?! " • As the average savage adult that I am, I can be very serious with my work and words, but that happens exactly right after the death of my father, or so I thought. My brothers and I have been getting along very well, as a Bounty Hunter, I can be very intimidating, until I met him. His hair, his eyes, his touch is all I need, I never thought all that of him can make me feel like this and to my surprise, I act like a child. I was just no longer that average savage adult that I was, but everything changed when I learned about his past. I couldn't believe it nor could I even want to, it was overwhelming. I was lost, confused, it got to the point where I wasn't myself for a while. But the fun part is being Dominant. What's that supposed to mean?, What past did this person learn?, Is the father dead or alive?, Who's more dominant?, In what way? Read this book to know.
