Facing The Sun by Charlie_Emerson

An Alien from outer space escapes her home planet, but the reasons won't let her go. All Ivis ever wanted was to live freely, but with her past affecting her future--its proven difficult. Ivis Ryoko was born with a pair of wings. This was normal, as every Aviothan had them. They were not optional in their planet's environment, Neurothon-the hot, horrible planet that contacted no one. Unlike most Aviothans, though, Ivis knew there were other people out there. She knew they likely did not look like her, but that did not matter-she had to find a way to join them. Ivis hated Neurothon. She wanted to leave even if it took everything she had, because just like almost every other Aviothan; her wings had been bathed in blood. And she would give anything to be able to forget that.

The Edge Of Surrender by itsme_SimiB

Alessandra knew, She knew she should have run. Every instinct screamed at her to leave, to escape the dark pull of the man who haunted her dreams and twisted her reality. But something raw and primal held her captive. They were dangerous, their very presence a threat to everything she believed in. Yet, despite the fear, they smelled like safe and felt like home. In their arms, she found a twisted comfort, a refuge in the storm of her own making. But as the line between salvation and damnation blurred, she began to question: was these men her redemption or her ruin? Her karma was catching up to her, and the path she chose could either save her soul or damn it forever. In a world where nothing is as it seems, and trust is a luxury she can't afford, one question remains: will she find the strength to escape before it's too late? Or will she lose herself entirely to inhumane men who are both her downfall and her sanctuary?
