Once united by investigative games and teenage defiance, Ruby and her friends had a secret phrase - 'Non ducor, duco', a Latin mantra translating as 'I'm not led, I lead.' It was their beacon of rebellion against Asheville, their eerie town pervaded by a peculiar blend of religious fanaticism and occult practices. Amidst the townsfolk's growing obsession with their Lord, the mantra gave them courage, forging a brotherhood.

Their group's anchor was the charismatic and fiercely independent Miles Prescott, Ruby's first love. But one fateful October night of 2005, Miles disappeared, leaving the heart of their secret club empty and their lives severely altered.

Countless theories shared in hushed tones, but Miles was nowhere to be found. The town declared him dead. Unable to bear the tormenting uncertainty, Ruby left Asheville and any hope behind.

Thirteen years later, she receives a letter that disrupts her fragile peace. The message is cryptic, merely a location, "Our wooden cabin," a date, "8th of May," and a name, "Miles."All Rights Reserved

But Home is Nowhere by mirandasidefics

You are pulled into an unknown world, Prythian, by an unknown force, coming face to face with a group of people you have only seen in your dreams. However, the reality you now face is much darker than anything you could imagine. Finding a way home is your only goal but with each passing year it drifts further away. It seems that Fate has different inescapable plans. With the help of a few you must learn to navigate your new life. Can the discovery of a vague prophecy help guide you on your journey? When magic returns to the Earth, and Death's shadow is unchained, Celestial bodies will unite to bring forth new rain. *********************************************************************************************** This is a fanfiction story based on characters and locations from the book series "A Court of Thorns and Roses" (ACOTAR) and "Crescent City". Both series, and thus the characters and locations within those works, are the property of Sarah J. Maas. The only thing that belongs to me is the backstory for "Reader" and my personal interpretation for how the story could go in an alternative universe.

If You Love Me by slybatspidow

"If you love me, you won't leave me." Jessie has believed those words from her boyfriend, Josh, since senior year of high school. She loves him and doesn't want to leave him. Not even when he shouts at her and hits her. Jessie's best friend, Kolleen, can't stand seeing her in that situation. With a bit of convincing - and the worst beating she'd ever received - Jessie agrees to move into an apartment with Kolleen. But not long after, Jessie is scared the worst of her nightmares will soon become a reality. Josh goes missing, and suddenly Jessie would swear she's being followed. One night changes everything, and one person soon changes Jessie's outlook. A responding officer from that fateful night begins to seek her out, at first claiming it's part of his job. As she spends time with her new friend outside of his job, she starts realizing that her feelings are evolving. After being abused for over a year, Jessie is terrified she's falling in love. What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet. She makes up her mind that if he is falling, and if he does love her, he'll wait for her to be ready, and if she loves him, she won't let herself hurt him. Can the words that used to cage her in really be the key to her freedom? --- Featured On: @NA: Take a seat and let it be | Mature Content and 18+ reading list @NA: You deserve the world | Mental Health reading list Ambys Top Picks New Adult 2023

The Choices I've Made (By the Bay #1) by authorjlberg

Twelve years ago, he drove away with my heart in his hands. I've moved on since then. Or so I thought. Growing up in a small town, there weren't too many options when it came to friends. But, even in a sea of a million, I'd always choose Jake Jameson. I felt safe with him. Safe with my secrets, my dreams and eventually - my heart. I thought we'd have forever together. That was a long time ago. I thought I'd forgotten those piercing blue eyes and the sound of his laugh. I tried to obliterate the memory of his touch from my mind. But, one single glance, as he stands at my door, twelve years later, and I'm suddenly transported back to a simpler time when love was easy, and my heart was whole. The problem? I'm marrying his best friend.

His Love ✔️ by ave_writes22

Love has always felt like a lie. Everyone who's gotten their heartbroken by someone who "loved"them can agree. Have you ever been asked if you believed in love? What did you say?

What happens when she meets the new stone cold bad boy of campus, King Siciliano? Will he ruin her? Or will she change him? Will the secrets be too much for her? What secrets will be revealed? ---- "What is wrong with you!" His deep voice boomed throughout the penthouse "I didn't fucking know he was dangerous! How was I supposed to know when no one told me anything!" "You are mine Elaine!" "You left me! You left with no goodbye! You broke up with me through a god damn letter! If you still think i'm yours you are so far off King." "I don't know who you think you are talking to Elaine, but I can guarantee you that it isn't me." He let go of his grip on my face and turned his back away from me. I shook the tears from my eyes and grabbed my things. I cant believe I never saw the asshole he was. 600 reads- 4/5/21 800 reads- 4/29/21 1k- 6/29/21 4k- 7/24/21 10k 8/3/21

Verboten/FORBIDDEN by BonBraLove

"If I will be given a chance to save him, I will do everything. Even if it costs my life." Is it forbidden to love someone you once had? The person you once shared your feelings with is now married. Is it real? Is it the only reason why Scion run away without even saying a word, not even 'goodbye'? Wait, how and why did I met him in the first place? Why did I like his guts and turned to love? Was he even worth the love I have? Sovran, his best friend is worthy but I believe he is too much because he's too good for my stubborn heart. "If you need me, I'll be there because I care. You can cry on my shoulder as longer as you can." Sovran is always there all the time waiting in front of our school to take me to places he feels nice for me. I dated some guys just to forget him, to move on and to heal my broken heart. Escaping from this mess is too hard for me to do. The effort I did was too much that I have broken myself by flirting, enjoying parties and studying. No matter what I do, I always look for that idiot Scion who is always hot later cold and keeps on annoying me that he would even embarrass me for expecting. "Do you think I could kiss you? You're not hot enough to deserve me." He will laugh and mocks me hard. I thought he is evil and cold in touch but I have seen the truth, the real Scion behind him. "I won't do anything that we will both regret. Even if you force me, I won't give in." He held me in his arms soaked in the tub until the drug has passed out. I have loved the two sides of him and if I will be given a chance to save him, I will do everything. Even if it costs my life. Highest rank: #19 in adventure and #1 in AGWRITINGWARDS by January 2019

"I forgot something." He jumped onto my bed as he lunged for a kiss. His lips touched mine and my immediate reaction was to let him and continue. I felt butterflies in my stomach as our tongues met.

Lords of Fire MC (MC Romance, Thriller) [complete] by GlennHefley

MC Romance Neil watched for too long, he figured. His club, the Lords MC in Florida became more 'outlaw' every week, and he saw no opportunity to change that direction. He never wanted to be outlaw, and now he was delivering enough to put him down for 30 years, three times a week. With his dad passing away, and his little sisters needing him around more, it was a wake-up call. Time to ride, with someone else if he found a pack worth joining, or lone wolf if not. With his status and tenure, it never occurred to him that he wouldn't be allowed to move on. When Shayla and Sydney came in as dealers a few years back instead of finishing college, their vow was a few years then out. They had a hell of a run. Parties that were legend, lovers of every sexy man type from Cuban to Norwegian and back again. But it was game time again. The years were great, but not what they wanted for their lives. Then they met Neil, and it was like seeing themselves for the first time, in stark light. He was always courteous and professional, unlike their other delivery men from the MC. He never treated them with anything except respect. In the reflection of his cobalt eyes, though, neither saw themselves worth his respect. It wasn't a shaming, more of a profound regret that a man like Neil finally showed up and they were too far into the life to say "hey, this isn't who we are." The whole "I'm not as I am" Othello play was for victims anyway, and they weren't victims. They were volunteers. But just meeting Neil slammed the door on waiting any longer to get out and back to university. Then two other dealers left the club, and turned up in trash bags, their bodies hacked up by machete.
